Chapter 363: The Battle of Defending the City

readx;

So no matter what, this is a war with no turning back, if you can't win today, I'm afraid that the Tatars' long-cherished wish for many years will be in vain with their own failures.

There is also Xiong Wanli, who is standing at the head of Ganzhou City, looking at the dense crowd under the city as if overwhelming towards the Ganzhou City he is guarding, although Xiong Wanli has already stockpiled a lot of bows and arrows, rolling wood, boulders and other ordnance to defend the city, but in the face of such a formation, Xiong Wanli still feels that the preparation seems to be a little insufficient. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But it was obvious that there was no time for Xiong Wanli to think about these things again, seeing that those Tatars had already passed through the rain of arrows and came to the city, when the ladders were erected on the Ganzhou city wall, when the Ganzhou soldiers around them waved the rolling stones, fallen logs, bows and arrows, and spears in their hands all towards the Tatars below.

There was a thick smell of blood in the air, and there were hoarse shouts in my ears, including the voices of the Tatars and the shouts of their own soldiers, and the Tatars attacked again and again by the Ganzhou soldiers, but they attacked again and again.

Just when Xiong Wanli was standing on the city wall thinking about how to break the enemy, there was a sudden loud "Boom!" With this loud noise, even the entire city wall shook violently, and many guards were unsteady and even fell to the ground.

"Come on, what's going on?" Xiong Wanli held on to the wall buttress on the side, his face was surprisingly ugly.

"To the general, it's... It's the Tatars ... The Tatars slammed the gates with giant logs. As he spoke, one of the soldiers who stumbled up from the wall explained the reason why the wall shook suddenly.

As soon as this person's words fell, there was another loud 'bang', and the entire city wall seemed to tremble......

Xiong Wanli barely stood still, picked up the soldiers on the side of the city wall, looked under the city wall, and just saw the giant trees that the Tatars transported over at some point were preparing for the next impact, and the Tatars who were on the ladder at the beginning also retreated because they couldn't stand the shaking of the city wall, and for a while it seemed that all people's attention was focused on that giant tree, and of course, the Tatar soldiers who were struggling to push the giant tree, Xiong Wanli's eyes widened, and he made a decision almost instantly, and shouted towards that place, "All the troops obey the order, beat me, and kill all those Tartar dogs for me!"

Another rain of arrows came to the face, and the Tatars under the city had fallen more than half in an instant, and even this time the Tatar offensive was slowed down a lot, just when these Tatars didn't know what to do, a high-pitched golden sound suddenly sounded in the distance, and with a golden sound in the Tatar army in the distance, the Tatars who were besieging the city all retreated.

Seeing that the Tatar offensive was defused by himself, Xiong Wanli breathed a rare sigh of relief, turned back to the soldiers behind him and said, "The generals will seize the time to quickly check the casualties of each team, as well as the number of bows and arrows, rolling stones, and fallen trees of each team, and distribute them to various places, beware of those Tatars going and returning." ”

"Yes!" Although the blood on the faces of those soldiers was not reduced, after this battle, especially the Tatars were forced to retreat, their morale was greatly increased, and not only was there no decadence on their faces, but a few people laughed.

"Back to the general, we still have enough bows and arrows, but I'm afraid the number of rolling stones and fallen trees is not enough. After half a ring, a soldier ran back and knelt in front of Xiong Wanli to report the current situation in Ganzhou City, "Also, the casualties in the city are not serious, and all the armies can still fight." ”

"Okay, cheer everyone up, give me a good look outside the city, and if I find those Tatar dogs going and returning, I must inform General Ben as soon as possible. For this result, Xiong Wanli was still surprised, but this time after all, he repelled the attack of the Tatars, and these losses are nothing in front of this, but Xiong Wanli is still a little unclear, the Tatars just now have no absolute disadvantage at all, and even if they continue to attack, Xiong Wanli doesn't know if he can really hold this small Ganzhou City, but he doesn't know why Tuogu Tan'er ordered them to retreat at such an important time, is it because he can't attack for a long time, and he is afraid that it will lose his military strength?

But this is not very realistic, if it is really Tuogu Tan'er is afraid of this, then at the beginning, Tugu Tan'er will definitely not give an order to choose such a way as attacking the city, although Xiong Wanli can't think of Tugu Tan'er's plan, but now the Tatars have been beaten back This is a fact, Xiong Wanli can only refuse to defend the city and wait for it to change.

"General, general, look!" A soldier beside Xiong Wanli stared at the sky in the distance, as if he had found something, and kept shouting Xiong Wanli.

Xiong Wanli looked in the direction pointed by the man, and sure enough, on the skyline, a puff of smoke and dust was lifted, as if two armies were fighting in the distance, and looking at the smoke and dust, it seemed that the battle was still very fierce.

"General, do you think it could be the reinforcements that the imperial court gave us?" The soldier who noticed something unusual in the distance at the beginning turned to Xiong Wanli and asked softly after looking at it for a while.

I don't know why, when Xiong Wanli heard this, the army a few days ago suddenly appeared in his mind, they claimed to be the Yellow Flag Army, but there was no edict issued by the emperor himself, he was still vivid because of Wu Qian's affairs, so he was careful not to open the city to let them in, and now seeing the scene in the distance, Xiong Wanli suddenly thought of the Yellow Flag Army led by Fang Mingyun, "Could it really be them?"

Although this sentence was whispered, it was also heard by a few soldiers around them, but they looked at Xiong Wanli's expression without the joy they expected, so they consciously closed their mouths, but their eyes were still staring at the battle in the distance.

"Adjutant General" Suddenly, Xiong Wanli retracted his gaze from a distance with a solemn expression, turned around and said loudly to a soldier behind him.

"The last general!"

"You quickly pick up 10,000 light cavalry and go out of the city with me, as for the others who are strictly guarding Ganzhou City, even if it is really the Holy Reinforcements coming, they can't rush to open the city, and those who violate the military order will be punished!" After Xiong Wanli finished speaking, he walked down the city wall alone.
