Chapter 231: Reinforcements Arrive

Outside the city of Yinzhou, a huge siege machine slowly marched towards the city gate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In Yinzhou City, Xu Tianming led the only remaining soldiers, caught fast, armed with machetes, and stood behind the city gate.

Seeing Xu Tianming's resolute expression, some refugees and people in the city also spontaneously picked up their firewood knives and hoes and followed behind the soldiers.

The city is full of one heart, coexistence and death.

There was a boom, and the city gate trembled as something hit it, and a crack immediately appeared in the deadbolt behind it.

Everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats.

This siege machine is so powerful, if it continues like this, in a few moments, the city gate will be breached.

Boom, boom, the gate was slammed twice in a row, and somehow it suddenly stopped.

Xu Tianming wondered in his heart, and immediately ordered the soldiers to go to the city tower to see the situation outside the city.

The soldier quickly climbed up the city tower, and when he looked out, he suddenly froze in place, and then danced and shouted Xu Tianming to go upstairs.

Xu Tianming hurriedly ran and looked out of the city.

The scene in front of him stunned him.

I saw that there were many kites flying densely in the air above the empty plain, and if I looked closely, I could see that there was a person hanging under the kites.

Look at the dress, it is my soldier, it seems that reinforcements have arrived.

First, a flock of kites continued to sprinkle water on the Turkic troops below.

There was a commotion among the Turkic soldiers, who raised their bows and arrows and shot into the sky.

But unexpectedly, the soldiers under the kite each held a shield in their hands, blocking all the feathered arrows.

Except for a few who fell directly from the kite puncture, most of them were unharmed.

Immediately after that, the next group of kites flew, and the soldiers under this group of kites flew above the Turkic troops with bows and arrows, and set the tips of the feathered arrows on fire, and swished downward.

The Turkic soldiers took out their shields to resist, but the moment the rocket came into contact with the shield, it immediately caused a large fire, which continued to spread in all directions.

It turned out that it was not water that had been sprinkled just now, but oil.

The oil burns immediately after a fire.

There were screams among the Turkic troops, and a sea of fire suddenly appeared on the plain.

Seeing this scene, Xu Tianming hurriedly ordered the soldiers in the city to also go up to the city wall and shoot rockets at the Turkic crowd.

The fire was raging, and many Turkic soldiers had nowhere to flee but to be burned alive.

And those who were lucky enough not to be spilled with oil in the rear hurriedly retreated back and fled from the fire.

In this way, the fire burned for a long time, and after the fire was extinguished, only a charred corpse was left under the city wall, and the siege machinery that had been completely burned.

Gradually, a large area of troops appeared on the horizon in the other direction, during which the battle flag was flying, and a large Zhou character was written on it.

Xu Tianming breathed a long sigh of relief: The reinforcements have finally arrived, and Yinzhou has been saved.

The Great Khan of Termu thought that he could successfully capture Yinzhou, but he was caught off guard by the strange sneak attack just now, and he was angry in his heart, so he could only order the army to set up camp and prepare to fight with the other party.

At the gate of Yinzhou City, Prince Zhou and several generals walked in slowly, and after seeing them, Xu Tianming almost cried: "Prince Zhou, we have been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Prince Zhou gently patted Xu Tianming's shoulder and said with a smile: "You guys have done a good job, and the rest will be left to us." ”

Subsequently, Xu Tianming led the way and led Prince Zhou back to Yamen.

Prince Zhou decided to set up his base camp in Yinzhou Yamen, and the army was stationed outside the city, surrounding Yinzhou in a circle, always dealing with the attack of Turkic troops.

In the evening, in the Yamen of Yinzhou, everyone sat around to discuss military strategies.

"Prince Zhou, I see that our kite troops are very powerful today, I suggest that we send this strange army, smash the Yellow Dragon, fly into the enemy's main formation, and burn it wantonly, if you are lucky, you may be able to burn Termu directly, so that the danger of the siege can be easily resolved. Xu Tianming was the first to suggest.

But the other generals were silent.

Wang Wuwu smiled helplessly and said: "Xu Zhutou, although this method is wonderful, it uses a lot of oil, and the oil we brought this time has been almost used in this battle during the day." Originally, the prince wanted to use this method as a surprise attack on the other side at night, but the situation was urgent in the morning, so he could only use it in advance. ”

"Then I'll go to the city and go door to door to find oil, and I'll make as much as I can. Saying that, Xu Tianming was about to go out.

"Wait, Xu Zhutou. Prince Zhou stopped Xu Tianming.

"There is no need to trouble the people, this move has been used once, and the second time it has no effect. Telmu is a military genius, and he will definitely find a way to restrain us, so there is no need to waste his mind. Prince Zhou said slowly.

Xu Tianming could only slowly retreat into the door, sit down in his place, and wait for Prince Zhou's new deployment.

"Tonight, the Turkic side will definitely not take action, everyone can rest assured for a night's rest. Tomorrow I will personally meet this old friend of Telmu. Let's all disperse now. Prince Zhou waved his hand and motioned for everyone to retreat and rest, but he sat on the chair and did not move.

After going out, Wang Wuwu gave a few words to the others, and then went to the camp outside the city in person.

Like Wang, several frontline commanders still choose to be stationed in the camp in order to deal with emergencies, while Wang Wuwu is more cautious.

This time it was he himself who personally asked Xi and the Emperor to follow Prince Zhou to the front line, he had also read a lot of military books since he was a child, in his opinion, compared to staying in Zhongzhou as the commander of the Imperial City Praetorian Guard, or military life is more suitable for him.

Since he took the initiative to ask for help, he would not be sloppy, and personally patrolled around the camp before going to sleep.

Just when he returned to his tent, he saw one of them sitting, who was actually Prince Zhou.

"Prince, if you have anything to tell me, just let me go, why bother you to come over in person?" Wang Wuwu took a step forward and said respectfully.

"The matter is urgent, and now there is a secret mission entrusted to you, which must be completed!" said Prince Zhou, who took out a letter from his arms.

After Wang Wuwu took it, he opened it and looked at it, his expression changed suddenly, and he was surprised: "Prince, this Lingyue princess is still alive?"

"Yes, according to the letter, Lingyue is not dead, but not far from us. Now your task is to take a small group of men and horses to avoid the Turkic forces at night, to meet her and bring her back. When she returns, perhaps the mystery of Prince Hasson's death will be revealed. Prince Zhou said thoughtfully.

"The last general will take the order, the prince can rest assured, even if he fights for my little life, he will definitely bring the princess back safely. Wang Wuwu clenched his fists and promised.

A moment later, a small group dressed in black quietly left the camp and headed north.
