Chapter 350: The city wall fights, and the sound of killing is everywhere
Zhou Fencao woke up suddenly, looked up at the window, and saw that the night was vast, and the sky was slightly white, it was close to the early hours of dawn. The candlelight on the table www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion has been extinguished, leaving a pool of wax tears.
He stood up, his eyes glazed red. Just took a nap and didn't rest for long. The situation is difficult, and there is no peace of mind.
Although along the way, Chen Sanlang has always been able to turn danger into relief and solve many crises. But at that time, they were all small scenes, and they couldn't be compared with the large-scale urban battles now. Besides, the strategic plan formulated by Chen Sanlang is really not reassuring, there are too many flaws and loopholes, and it is simply giving away the city to the ......
Unless, Chen Sanlang has another backhand.
But where is this back hand and what it is, Zhou Fencao thought about it for a night and didn't have an answer.
He rubbed his eyes and went out.
The attendants outside the door were alarmed by the sound of the door opening, and hurriedly got up to wait.
"Childe, can you get up?"
The attendant replied: "I have already gotten up and ordered troops outside the palace." ”
Zhou Fencao hurriedly went out, and saw that the torches outside were bright, the horses were neighing, and there were about dozens of horses. He soon recognized that these cavalry were the most elite Zhuang soldiers brought from Jing County, a total of fifty horsemen. All cavalry, sturdy horses, with leather armor on their bodies.
In the military, cavalry plays a pivotal role and is difficult to train. First, it requires superb riding skills to be able to control, and second, it is not easy to equip everyone with a war horse.
War horses are worth a lot of money, and it is not easy to feed. Some data show that the daily consumption of a war horse is even more than the expenditure of an ordinary family.
From this, how difficult it is to raise a cavalry army?
Chen Sanlang's team originally did not have many war horses, and many horses were selected from the military camp after entering the main city. The poor worm who had been robbed of his horse was driven out of the city, which was tantamount to exile.
In fact, there are a lot of horses under Su Zhenhong's command, but due to improper management, soldiers and other factors, many horses have been thinned, which makes Chen Sanlang feel distressed when he sees it.
Su Zhenhong is obsessed with women, not only is the civil administration deserted, but the army is also a mess. The so-called upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, what kind of head there is, what kind of subordinates there are.
Chen Sanlang can't use all of these soldiers. Let Xu Nianniang have some special training first, and pick out some of them. The remaining soldiers and old fritters, or those with different intentions, will all stay in the barracks, and wait for the overall situation to stabilize before disposing of them.
Zhou Fencao saw Chen Sanlang wearing armor, with a heroic airflow, riding on a horse, wearing a long sword at his waist, and his heroic posture.
Hurriedly walked over and asked, "Childe, what are you doing?"
Chen Sanlang said: "Of course, it is to go into battle to supervise the battle. ”
"Childe, don't do it!"
Zhou Fencao shouted anxiously.
Swords and guns have no eyes, and what they are currently facing is not a rabble of thieves, but a well-trained army. In case Chen Sanlang has something to do, what should I do?
Chen Sanlang shook his head, this Duke Cao is good at everything, but his brain is old-fashioned, and it is difficult to turn around, and said: "The soldiers are coming to the city, how can I, as a general, shrink into the palace and do nothing? ”
"That being said, it doesn't make you stubborn and take risks. ”
Zhou Fencao's attitude is very firm.
Chen Sanlang smiled: "I just went up to the city wall and watched." ”
Zhou Fencao thought for a while: "I'll go with you." ”
He has made up his mind, and if he follows Chen Sanlang, Chen Sanlang can't act privately.
"It's fine. ”
Chen Sanlang did not refuse.
The two led the team to the east gate, where the cavalry stood guard at the city gate, while Chen Sanlang and Zhou Fencao climbed the stairs to the city wall.
Condescending, looking into the distance, Zhou Fencao's heart couldn't help but clench. Under the east gate, outside the moat, there are camps, I don't know how many. One after the other, piles of bonfires were bubbling up, glowing red.
Between the camps, there are constantly people shuttling back and forth, and it looks very busy.
Even if he couldn't see it clearly, Zhou Fencao knew that the other party was preparing to start attacking the city.
In recent days, there have been county soldiers to the city, until yesterday, all the men and horses have come, several county leaders gathered together to discuss, and the decision to attack the city today was decided.
Yesterday, an arrow came in with a surrender letter, which was picked up by the guards at the head of the city and presented to the palace.
Chen Sanlang read this trick, and Zhou Fencao also read it. was arrogant, and directly asked Chen Sanlang to abandon the city and flee, so as to avoid the death penalty.
Under such conditions, Chen Sanlang and Zhou Fencao would certainly not agree. Now in such fields, the city is their greatest reliance, out of the city, in the wilderness, if there are pursuers, they are the target of no barrier, how to die do not know.
There is nothing to talk about, only killing.
Zhou Fencao saw that the county was strong, with thousands of people, gathered under the city, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. You must know that there are only one or two hundred people guarding the east gate now, and there are not enough hundreds on the city wall. How can such a small number of men withstand the bombardment of the tide? I am afraid that after a few rounds of arrows, no one will be able to stand on the wall.
If you take a closer look, the rolling stones and the like are also sloppy and scarcity, and it is estimated that they will be gone after pushing a wave.
Admittedly, the time is pressing, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there are indeed many difficulties. But knowing this, Chen Sanlang should send more people over here, at least to resist for a while. Can't just rely on those fifty horsemen to rush out of the city to fight, can that turn the tide?
How can it be.
Looking around, the faces of the guards guarding the city wall were pale, and they were afraid.
Not to mention them, even Zhou Fencao himself, in such a situation, there is an emotion called "fear" that wants to emerge from his heart three times and several times.
Chen Sanlang suddenly stretched out his hand, took out a box from his waist, opened it, and laid it out on the small table, which was a pair of chess.
"Sir, it's still early, let's have a game!"
When Zhou Fencao saw it, he almost sat on the ground, looking at Chen Sanlang fixedly and couldn't say a word.
At this moment, knock knock!
The drums beat loudly, and the sound shook in the wilderness, but I saw that in the camps outside the city, countless people and horses swarmed out and marched towards the city gate.
It's time to storm the city!
As if echoing the sound of this drum, all over the city, one courtyard door after another opened, and a group of people and horses rushed out of it, all wearing clothes and armor, with ribbons wrapped around their arms as marks, holding knives and guns, and shouting: "Kill Chen Daoyuan, return me to Laoshan!"
These people set out from different streets, but their destinations were the same, and they all came to the government.
While running, while shouting, the sound of killing is everywhere!
All the people were shocked by this momentum, and they closed their doors one after another, hiding in their homes and not daring to move. They didn't want Chen Sanlang to be killed or driven out of Laoshan Mansion, but at this time, no one dared to guarantee anything, so they could only secretly pray for the blessing of the gods.
At the head of the city, Chen Sanlang just picked up a chess piece, looked up at the city, and said: "It's finally begun!" (To be continued.) )
