Chapter 32: The Siege of Anshun
"Since Jiang Hechuan is no longer here, then all of you in Anshun City will come to pay off the debt on his behalf!" The old man in black raised his finger and pointed at Jiang Ying at the head of the city, "Female doll, don't be scared and cry later!"
The six clans are powerful, and according to Cai Ling'er's description, each clan has a standing army of about 10,000. Now at a glance, except for Aoki. The six clans can be said to be the main force, and if the 10,000 troops of one clan are calculated, there are 50,000 people in the alliance of the six clans here. With less than 20,000 troops in Anshun City, it is clear that this war will be extremely difficult.
Chen Mingye glanced at Jiang Ying, whose face was slightly pale, and sighed, as soon as she accepted the position of city lord, she had to accept such a harsh war, which was too difficult for her.
Jiang Ying looked at the soldiers of the six clans who were slowly advancing under the city, and said loudly: "Where is Yu Jin, the left general of the Zhennan Army?"
"The end will be here. A bearded man immediately stepped forward to answer.
"Give you five thousand men and horses, and take your men to guard the north gate for me. ”
"Yes!"
"Where is Zhou Da of the city defense battalion?"
"The end will be here. ”
"Three thousand men, take your men to guard the east gate. ”
"Yes!"
"Where is He Bide, the right general of the Zhennan Army?"
"The end will be here. ”
"Three thousand men, take your men to guard the west gate. ”
"Yes!"
......
The battle plan had already been prepared at the previous meeting of the city lord, and Jiang Ying was now just assigning tasks step by step, although she had expected it in her heart, she still felt that the troops in her hands were really stretched and difficult to deploy.
"But anyone dares to break through and ask for help?" Jiang Ying glanced at the hall and asked in a low voice.
But no one in the hall answered.
As one of the few Haoming forces in southern Xinjiang, Yuancheng's strength is only a few thousand, and it is impossible to make any substantial changes to the battle situation.
The essence of the six clans' declaration of war on Anshun City was already a rebellion against Haoming, and it was the neighboring Jingzhou and Yangzhou that could really send troops to rescue.
If you want to wait for reinforcements from the two states to arrive, I'm afraid that Anshun City has already fallen for a long time.
There was only a heavy sigh throughout the city. The morale of the entire Anshun City is actually very low, and everyone is pessimistic, and there is no hope of winning this upcoming war.
Under the city, although the bones of a thousand iron lancers have been ordered to be restricted, the blood-colored land is still so dazzling, showing the cohesion of Anshun City's continuous decay.
The old man in black smiled: "Today is the day when my six clans regain the sovereignty of southern Xinjiang. ”
"Warriors of the Six Clans, join me in this glorious battle to restore our long-lost land. ”
"Kill!" The shout shook the sky, and the six clans were violent, and their morale was like a rainbow, and they rushed towards Anshun City fiercely.
The soldiers at the head of the city looked at this scene, and their faces turned a little pale for a while.
Southern Xinjiang has been peaceful for too long, and many soldiers have long forgotten the cruelty of the battlefield. Therefore, when the six clans rushed towards them with a bloody killing aura, many people were so frightened that they didn't even have the strength to clench the blades in their hands, and the whole person was in a trembling state.
No one has come to report the Zisang Mountain training camp so far, and it is thought that it has been surrounded and annihilated by the army of the six clans.
The real elite of Anshun City is only a few thousand elite soldiers who often go out to patrol and suppress bandits, and Gu Ming's rebellion directly led to the burial of the most elite iron spear cavalry, it can be said that Anshun City has lost its most important support combat power.
Chen Mingye grinned, and suddenly said loudly: "Everyone, I don't ask you to fight for the glory of Haoming, but please think about your wives and children behind you, if you retreat, can you think of what the consequences will be?"
The whole city was silent.
"The Six Clans regard us as enemies, so let's not have any delusional thoughts, take our own blades, trust our robes, and fight for our homeland!"
Chen Mingye raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, for our homeland!"
"For the homeland!"
"For the homeland!"
......
The shouts came and went, and the soldiers who had lost their confidence seemed to regain their confidence with the shouts one after another, gradually clenched the blades in their hands, and raised their heads high.
Yes, for the sake of their homeland! To retreat is to ruin their families! How can they have room to retreat? Do they want to let the old and weak women and children come out to meet the enemy?
Death is not terrible, but dying without resistance and humiliation is the most terrible, and dying if you can't defend the person who should be guarded is the most terrible!
The scouts at the head of the city, who had been observing the enemy army, shouted, "Two hundred steps!"
At a distance of 200 paces, the arrow can reach a longer range, but the lethality will be greatly reduced.
"One hundred steps!"
"Fifty steps!"
Jiang Ying still had a white cloth wrapped around her head, silently glanced at the figure beside her, and then looked firmly at the surging enemy army outside the city, clenched her fingers, pulled out the long sword at her waist violently, and shouted: "Release the arrow!"
For a time, the arrows shot like locusts, and the people of the six tribes were covered with vine armor, and their resistance to flying arrows was extremely strong, so there were not many casualties.
On the contrary, the blood stimulated their ferocity, and for a while, the momentum of rushing forward became more and more rapid, and many of the injured screamed like beasts from their mouths, exuding the killing aura hidden in the blood.
Chen Mingye frowned: "The rattan armor has excellent protection, quickly let people prepare fire oil for fire attack!"
After dealing with the six clans for many years, Anshun City's methods for the six clans have long been thorough.
Jiang Ying ordered someone to carry out the prepared fire oil, and with an order, a rocket suddenly flew like a rocket, shooting on the rattan armor, and the dry wood was touched by a blazing fire, and a raging fire immediately ignited.
For a while, the six clans under the city, who were originally rushing forward with great momentum, suddenly screamed again and again, and the morale of the entire army was greatly frustrated.
"No one is allowed to retreat, their arrows will be gone after shooting, and no one will be able to cut into your rattan armor when the time comes, so they will attack me!" The old man in black roared, and casually killed several soldiers who intended to retreat on the spot, with a fierce look in his eyes.
The patriarchs of the four clans looked at each other hesitantly, but none of them spoke.
The people of the six clans all glanced at the black-robed old man in fear, and had no choice but to rush towards the Anshun city wall again with a roar.
Chen Mingye, who had been observing the situation here, touched his chin, and a few subtle lights flashed in his eyes.
"Smash the huge oil barrel for me!"
Seeing that the soldiers of the six clans had already attacked the city and set up a long ladder to climb to the top of the city, Jiang Ying waved his hand and launched an offensive that had been prepared for a long time.
For a while, there were screams again and again, and the city of Anshun was like a purgatory on earth, with thick smoke billowing out, corpses all over the field, and blood spilling all over the ground.
The black-robed old man said angrily: "Bastards, several patriarchs, bring the elders of the family, and join me to open the way for the soldiers!"
"Yes!" The four patriarchs actually looked obedient, and they took several clan elders from their own families with their figures, and rushed out first.
The corners of the black-robed old man's mouth curled, but he followed unhurriedly.
The participation of martial arts powerhouses in the war is naturally not something that ordinary soldiers can resist.
The patriarch of the four clans was like the sharpest blade, all the way forward, and easily climbed to the top of the city, and the soldiers who approached this side of Anshun City fell in a pool of blood.
"Kill me!" Since a crack had been torn in the city wall, the black-robed old man waved his hand violently, and the soldiers of the six clans all flocked forward.
Jiang Ying looked at the several martial arts masters who had ascended to the top of the city, and frowned.
Several martial arts masters in Anshun City were assigned to sit at different city gates, and there were only two of them in the cutting-edge combat power here.
"Uncle Zhou, Brother Xu, I'm sorry for you, please come with me to fight!" Jiang Ying sighed, as the city lord, she knew that she was invincible, but she had to be tough.
Zhou Yang and Xu Yanyi, the only two martial arts masters here.
"Swear not to retreat!" the two stood up, clasped their fists together, their voices calm, without a trace of hesitation.
Both of them are veterans who have followed Jiang Hechuan for more than ten years and have deep feelings for Jiang Ying.
"City Lord, the army still needs you to sit in town, I'll just go with Lao Xu. Zhou Yang admonished.
"The enemy is attacking the city, and there is no one who does not sit in the town. Jiang Ying said calmly, "Here, no one can stay out of the matter. ”
