Chapter 98: Arriving at the South City Tower
Time flies.
Sheng Qi returned to Juxianzhuang with 20,000 disciples, and Tian Qi selected 2,000 people among them, and just made up 5,000 with the people he had recruited before.
Guo Di watched quietly from the side, but he didn't say anything, after all, he saw that Izuda Qi left all the good seedlings, and those two thousand people could only be regarded as a medium existence among the twenty thousand people present.
In the end, Guo Di and Tian Qi exchanged greetings for a few years, and left Juxianzhuang with the remaining 18,000 people.
Tian Qi turned around and ordered Gao Yanli to take two thousand people down to familiarize himself, while he himself led Sheng Qi back to the main hall of Juxianzhuang.
Tian Qi sat in the first place, although he was not very old, he had a majesty and fierceness, and looked at Shengqi with his eyes level: "Since you have joined us, then we will be a family in the future." ”
"Please rest assured, my master has said that I am a person under your command in seven lives, and death is a ghost under your command. Shengqi's burly body stood tall in front of Tian Qi, looking directly at this Tian Qi and said: "Although I can't do it, as long as you live up to me in the future, then I will always follow and protect you." ”
Tian Qi felt that Shengqi's might was nothing, but the Huang Shiqi sisters and Jinnian on the side, when Shengqi looked directly at Tian Qi, they subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands.
But Tian Qi looked at Sheng Qi's heartfelt words, and suddenly smiled knowingly: "Give the sword!"
Jin Nian on the side will quickly pass on the huge brocade box to Tian Qi's side, Tian Qi sideways opened the box in Jin Nian's hand, and held the load-bearing giant sword in his hand: "Juque, Que Tong "missing", which means incomplete, its hardness is incomparable, so it is called "the supreme in the world". ”
"Please take the sword!" Tian Qiwei said domineeringly.
"Bang!" Sheng Qi knelt down on one knee, and raised his hands respectfully in front of Tian Qi: "In his subordinate Sheng Qi to see the lord, his subordinates are only the lord and the sword in this life, as well as death." ”
Tian Qi awarded the thick and huge, pitch-black giant sword to Sheng Qi.
Ke Shengqi felt the weight-bearing giant sword on his hands, and since there was a sense of familiarity in his heart, his cold and arrogant face also showed a trace of excitement: "Thank you lord, Shengqi will do his best to protect the lord's side in the future." ”
"You go down to rest first, we have to go to the south city tower to hand over the city defense tomorrow morning. Tian Qi waved his hand and asked Shengqi to retreat and rest first.
Naturally, a servant led Shengqi down, and Tian Qi also asked the three girls to go down to rest.
After all, they will defend the city tower in front tomorrow to prevent the Zhao army from breaking through the city. Jin Nian is responsible for the wounded and ordnance and other materials, and the Huang Shiqi sisters are still responsible for food and drinking water.
......
Time is slow, and the rooster crows at dawn.
Tian Qi woke up from meditation, and when he washed up and came to the front yard, Gao Yanli and Shengqi were already waiting with more than 5,000 guards with bright armor, and after each took the three steamed buns sent by Huang Shiqi's sisters, everyone quickly headed towards the south city gate.
Tian Qi and Dong Ren, the defender of the southern city, handed over smoothly, Gao Yuanli led 2,000 people to replace the guards of the city tower, and the remaining 3,000 people waited for support under the city tower.
After all, there is such a big place in the city tower, once there are more people, it will appear crowded, such as the army of Zhao Guo under the city to attack with arrows, there will be chaos when there are many people, two or three thousand people are the most suitable, and everyone still has a place to avoid arrow attacks.
The general of the Nancheng guard looked at Tian Qi and the others who had finished handing over and said, "Tian Qi Gongzi, this South City Gate will be handed over to you, and I still need to go to support the general's West City Gate." ”
"General Dong, see if you can leave me a lieutenant general, after all, I only know the general situation, but I don't know much about the Zhao army outside the city. ”
Dong Ren nodded, and then looked at the several lieutenants beside him: "Fan Da, you leave it to Tian Qigongzi to explain what you don't understand, and the rest of the people follow me." ”
In the end, Tian Qimu sent Dong Ren to lead the others away, and looked sideways at Fan Da who was left: "If there is anything that does not move this son, then General Lao Fan will solve my doubts." ”
"Tian Qi Gongzi, I can't stand your courtesy. Fan Da quickly helped up Tian Qi, who was about to salute: "Tian Qi Gongzi, in fact, we are really grateful to you, we all ate the steamed buns last night, and now the arrows and food for defense are provided by you, it is you who saved our brothers." ”
"As a Qi person, I should naturally stand up when the Qi country is facing a crisis. Tian Qi said righteously, but listening to the other party's stomach rumbling, and remembering that the other party hadn't had breakfast yet, he turned his head to look at Sheng Qidao: "Do you have more steamed buns?"
Ke Sheng has seven heads and strength, so the amount of food is several times that of others, listening to Tian Qi's inquiry, he directly ripped off a bag from his waist and handed it over: "There are two more bags." ”
Tian Qi was not polite to Sheng Qi, and handed it to Fan Da after taking it: "Let's eat some first?"
"Thank you. Fan Da was grateful and quickly took it.
Tian Qi looked at Fan Da, who was eating steamed buns with his head down, and also walked away to Gao who was not far away: "Little Gao, how is it, are you still used to it?"
"Fortunately, the things we learned in the Jixia School Palace are still used, and now it's just a matter of seeing the actual combat effect. Gao Yanli said with some emotion.
"Don't worry, this is not the main battlefield. So don't rush and take your time, after all, everything is not done overnight, no one is born to lead troops to fight, we are now accumulating experience and heritage, and one day we can become a top handsome person who can command thousands of troops. ”
Gao Yanli nodded: "Don't worry, young master, here I will definitely have a chance to break through the south city gate." ”
Tian Qi turned his head to look at the two thousand people on the entire city tower, half of whom were the militia he chose to be loyal to the Qi State, and the remaining half were peasant disciples.
The main reason for the mixture is that the peasant disciples have undergone simple special training, and the militia has no time for special training.
"Hum~"
When Tian Qi and Gao gradually left to talk about the problem of city defense, everyone suddenly heard a melodious horn sound.
And Fan Da, who had just made steamed buns on the side, immediately swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth after hearing the sound of the horn, and quickly came to Tian Qi's side: "Tian Qi Gongzi, it is the Zhao army that is preparing to attack the city." ”
Tian Qi took Gao Yanli and Shengqi to lie on the city tower and look into the distance, and the Zhao army, which was no less than 10,000 people, came out of the Chinese army camp, and then came to their side.
After listening to the sound of the horn, Ke Shengqi Zhao Jun walked out of the camp and came to their side, and said with some puzzlement: "Didn't they all say that the drum sound was the order to attack?"
"This is because in siege warfare, only the frontal battlefield is ordered by the sound of drums, the rest of the feints are ordered by the sound of horns, and the retreat is the unified collection of troops. Tian Qi explained to Shengqi.
In the end, the 10,000-strong Zhao army stopped three miles away, that is, a distance of more than a thousand meters, knowing that the army only needed a full charge to reach the city wall, but the Zhao army did not rush to attack the city, but continued to line up in the whole army.
Gao Yanli quickly turned around and conveyed the order to the defenders on the city tower, while Tian Qi looked at the army outside the city: "General Fan, tell me who the general of Zhao Guo is at the south city gate?"
"Tian Qi Gongzi, looking at the other party's banner, you know that the other party is the person who fought with us a few days ago, the other party's name is Ting Hao, and the realm is at the peak of refining qi and transforming gods, as for being able to come alone with an army of 10,000 people to feint at the south gate, it should mainly be Pang Xuan is uncle. ”
Fan Da carefully explained the three-day siege battle, Tian Qi also understood that Ting Hao was on the top of the throne by his relationship, he himself was not refining the gods and returning to the void realm at all, and he also knew that Ting Hao had always wanted to take the lead in breaking through the South City Gate in this siege battle.
Previously, the army of Zhao would only send two or three thousand people to attack the city, and as long as there was a little movement, they would withdraw, and if they did not go far, they would reflexively prepare to continue the siege again.
Knowing that this is a feint, constantly wear down the will to defend the city, as long as the attack on the city wall is not slackened, then the two or three thousand people who are besieging the city will really start to attack the city, when someone wants to attack the city, the seven or eight thousand troops left behind in the rear will also attack the city with all their might, and it may even be faster than the frontal battlefield to break through the city.
When he looked at the neat pace of 2,000 people attacking this Rao'an City, Tian Qi's eyes fell on Ting Hao and the other 8,000 people at the back.
"Archers, prepare!" Gao gradually approached Zhao Guoda's two thousand people who were looking closer and closer, and then gave an order indifferently.
"Wait. Tian Qi interrupted Gao Yanli: "Little Brother Gao, let the peasant disciples collect their bows and wait, and the militia will also retreat five hundred." ”
"The first team prepares, and the second, third, and fourth teams close their bows and are silent. Gao Yanli believed Tian Qi unreservedly, and quickly gave an order, only letting a team of five hundred people continue to prepare to release arrows.
"Tian Qi, why are you here?" Fan Da was a little puzzled.
"No, I want to leave all the ten thousand people of Tinghao under Rao'an City today. Tian Qi's eyes stared at Ting Hao and the others who had grown up, and the coldness in his eyes was undisguised.
Tian Qi waved his hand, and after Gao Yanli received the order, he shouted: "Let's go!"
