Royal Road - Chapter 214

[Chapter 213 | City]

Standing in the forest, Zhang He raised the things in his hands and looked at Jingling City in the distance.

It is also seven or eight miles away from Jingling, Shao said, and it is impossible to see things clearly, but in the copper pipe he held, let alone the city, even the faces of the soldiers on the city head can be seen clearly. .

This is something that Liang’s mansion has just developed, and it is called “Thousand Miles of Mirrors”.

Among them, the lens is polished by crystal, and the enemy situation can be expected dozens of miles away.

However, the cost is too expensive, and usable crystals are even more difficult to find. Therefore, there are only three crystals made in the house, and one of them is kept by my side.

Such a weapon, Zhang He naturally wasted.

After observing for a full quarter of an hour, he opened the suede tube hanging on his waist, carefully put the telescopic mirror back into the padded tube, and said to his subordinates: “Jingling has no plans to send troops, and the top of the city is guarded. The soldiers have not increased, and it seems that the city is indeed empty.” The

three cities of Jingling, Zhongdu, and Wuxian are all located in the southwest of Qixian, and the distance between each city is only a dozen or so miles, so it can be said that they face each other.

After retaking Qixian County, Sancheng also entered a state of alert.

I just don’t know which city the deserters who had fled from Qixian were finally gathered into.

After arriving near Jingling, Zhang He did not rush to attack the city, but carefully explored the movements of the three cities.

Just this morning, Wu County had dispatched troops to assist the Lishi defenders.

But Jingling and Zhong are not doing much.

Not to mention Zhongdu for the time being, the Jingling was seized from the massacre before, and the people in the city were poor. If there were not too many guards, it would prove the previous speculation.

This city is empty, you can attack!

“Notify the Qixian guards to attack the city tonight!” Without hesitation, Zhang He gave the order.

I don’t know if the front line has gone to war now, but their goal is never to increase the army to attack Lishi, but to fall in front of them.

Of these three cities, none of them can be missed!

The sky turned from bright to dark and then bright again.

The guards in Jingling City were more or less tired after staying up all night.

The long night is over, before the sun rises and the sky will be bright.

City head, mutation protrudes!

I don’t know when the black-clothed warrior who was lying in ambush under the city threw his hook and lanyard and climbed up to the top of the city.

Hand | Crossbow burst, dagger like the wind, instantly took the lives of those who were overwhelmed.

Immediately afterwards, the firmly closed city gate was pushed open from the inside, and two thousand soldiers and horses rushed into the city like a raging wave.

kill kill kill!

It was too late to set up defenses, and even street battles were unable to organize. The Huns defenders, who had never really woken up, encountered an unimaginably terrifying attack.

In an instant, blood flowed, and it seemed that the tens of thousands of unjust souls also emerged from the bottom of the city, tearing their lives.

From shouting, to screaming and crying, to silence.

An hour later, a group of cavalry rushed out of the city gate on horseback and ran towards Wu County.

Before noon, a troop of cavalry appeared under the Wuxian city.

The leader rode his horse to the bottom of the city, and shouted loudly: “Open the city gate! The Jingling is broken, the Central Capital is ambushed, quickly open the city and let me wait in!”

His voice was full of fear, and his face was full of fear. bloodstains.

The guards at the head of the city were frightened and rushed to report, and in a short while, the guard of Wu County boarded the head of the city.

At a glance, I saw five or six hundred Huns riding on their horses covered in scars, all with blood on their bodies. It was obvious that they had fought fiercely and were so exhausted that they did not even put away their knives.

Taking a closer look, the leading general seemed to be an acquaintance. He hurriedly said, “Are the Una brothers below?!”

He used the Hun language, and the man below immediately said, “It’s me! Liu Ran, hurry up. Open the city gate! Let us go in!” It

really is the guard in Jingling City!

Liu Ran groaned in his heart, was Jingling really lost?

Zhongdu was also ambushed?

Didn’t the Jin army want to beat Li Shi?

Why did you suddenly send troops to attack these cities?

Do they still have extra troops?

Looking at the people in the city again, Liu Ran asked loudly again, “Why are these people left? Where is your general?”

“General Huyan is out, I rushed out with my brothers desperately! Hurry up and open the city! Let us in. !” Una was so hoarse that she almost cried.

The fear on his face was so clear, and he turned back from time to time, as if on guard against the enemy behind him.

Liu Ran looked far into the distance, but did not see the ambushing soldiers, and finally gritted his teeth and ordered: “Kaesong!”

At this time, it is reasonable to say that the city should not be opened.

However, the Wuxian garrison had just received a military order and set off to Pingtao to meet the enemy.

Now there are less than 800 guards in the city, and the actual strength is empty.

If both Jingling and Zhongdu were trapped, it would definitely be Wu County, which he guarded.

Five hundred more cavalry, but more than half of the troops.

This alone was enough to make Liu Ran excited.

Anyway, those who can break out of the siege will not be weak people, so let’s take it into the city first and then make plans!

The huge wooden city gate made a creaking sound, and soon, the city gate opened.

Looking at the dark city gate, Una did not rush the horse, but shivered while riding on the horse as if she was still.

Before and after him, left and right, the accompanying Xiongnu cavalry drove their mounts at the same time and ran towards the city gate.

Everyone held a sword in his hand, and the blade light flashed a bloody color under the sunlight.

Inside the city gate, the guards did not react at all, and the cavalry, like tigers and wolves, rushed up, and for a while, they screamed and screamed.

Una trembled even more.

When the Jingling City was broken, he was actually captured by the ferocious Shangdang soldiers, but the other party had already lured the enemy as a condition and gave him a way out.

As long as he called to open the gate of Wu County, they could let him go.

As long as he rushed into Wu County with this group of Xiongnu soldiers who belonged to Shangdang, he would have the possibility of life.

Let Liu Ran, who once stood side by side with him, die for him…

A gust of wind whistled and sent a thick blood.

The fighting in the city was still shaking, Una shivered and pulled the reins, and fled westward.

Escaped from another killing field ghost.

On that day, Jingling City was destroyed, and Wuxian City was destroyed.

The next day, together with Qixian, the three cities attacked and Zhongdu surrendered!

※

“Forward! Forward! Can’t retreat! Stand firm!” Tian Xun stood in the line and shouted loudly.

However, his voice was only heard by a few soldiers. In the ears of everyone, there were more rumbling drums and the screams of the enemy in front of him.

The shield was held high, blocking the opposing shot.

Follow the beat of the drum step by step forward and then forward!

Take the battle, meet the enemy!

When the army is engaged in battle, it cannot retreat one step. Only by forming forward and not chaotic, can the final victory be guaranteed.

As strikers, they are always the first to fight.

There is a large camp behind them, and it is good to have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but the coach will not rashly move for them.

Fortunately, this enemy army was as large as his own.

As long as there is no chaos, it should be able to stop…

the shield formation in front of him flickered and disappeared.

The soldiers standing in the front row moved, not fighting alone, winning by individual bravery, but watching and attacking in teams of three.

Their formation seemed a little embarrassed, and they seemed to be neglecting their practice, but in the face of the Xiongnu soldiers who were better at fighting than themselves, this was already the best way to survive.

Tian Xun also held a long sword and fought desperately, shouting something in his mouth, but it was meaningless.

Fortunately, the Huns were lacking in horses, so they chose to fight on foot.

If this is not the case, I am afraid that only seeing the cavalry will lose morale.

They can still block, to survive!

“Kill! I can’t retreat!” Tian Yu roared furiously, as if he was insane.

I don’t know if it was because of high morale or proper command, this one actually withstood the opponent’s attack.

On the hill in the distance, a young Huns in armor stood on horseback, looking at the army below: “The Jin army’s forwards are quite brave, and they sent five hundred men to attack the back road for food!

” The speed is slower than that of the army, not to mention the safety concerns, so it will not be placed in the military camp.

This little distance is enough for the cavalry to play.

A group of people followed the order and left, while Liu Cong patted his favorite horse and sat down, continuing to stare at the battlefield.

As long as the rear army is in chaos, his light cavalry team can immediately enter the battlefield and attack the central army.

At that time, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to kill the coach surnamed Pei?

However, the chaos he was waiting for never appeared.

In front of the baggage camp, the horses’ hoofs rumbled.

The battalion general roared hoarsely: “The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking! Hurry up and fight!”

There were only 1,000 of them, but there were 500 cavalrymen.

Why did the army in the front let the enemy cavalry go and attack the food and grass behind?

The battalion officer was tired of fighting, and the three thousand servants below were about to go crazy.

Who would have thought that such a situation would be encountered just after entering the battlefield?

Isn’t it said that food and grass are the lifeblood of the army?

Why did the enemy attack so easily?

However, among the servants, someone shouted loudly: “There are only a few hundred enemies, just guard the camp gate and prevent them from attacking!”

How to guard?

Countless people are in chaos, and there is no way to think about it.

However, dozens of strong men rushed out, pushing carts filled with grain and grass, and placed them in front of the camp gate.

“Use a car! Quickly block the camp gate with a car! They are on horseback, so they can’t jump in! They can’t kill anyone!”

“We can’t wait to die, they want to burn food and grass! Without food, how can the wife and children live at home?”

This is actually a bit confusing.

But these people enlisted in the army for their wives and children. When they heard this, they were more effective than others.

More and more people moved, pushing carts and pulling carts, trying to build another line of defense.

In the baggage camp, there is more than just grain.

Zhao Da grabbed the dumbfounded soldier beside him: “Master, we still have quite a few people, as long as we have guns and bows, we should be able to defend!”

The soldier opened his mouth, but he didn’t speak. , Zhao Da has already shouted: “Follow the army to guard the camp!”

Dozens of people rushed out, armed with guns and bows, and guarded in front of the simple line of defense.

At this time, the Xiongnu cavalry had already retreated from the defenders and rushed in. Unexpectedly, such a wall of vehicles blocked them in front of them.

The leading general frowned: “Get off the horse, rush over, and burn their food and grass!” The

three hundred Xiongnu soldiers immediately dismounted, raised their swords and bowed their bows, and rushed forward.

Zhao Da shoved a long spear into his companion’s hands violently: “Dog, catch it, as long as anyone dares to turn it over, give it to him!”

Wang Gou’er was so frightened that he was covered in chaff, but beside him, more people raised He picked up his gun and bow.

The sound of killing suddenly started!

With a sound of Indole, a feather arrow flew over the wall of the car and nailed it into the soil in front of him.

“Ahhh!” Wang Gouer screamed out in fright, he had never seen such a scene!

But how can Zhao Da kill the enemy?

Didn’t Zhao Da join the army with them?

Is it so easy to kill an enemy?

“Kill! Kill!” Zhao Da’s roar came over, the frame of the car behind him vibrated, and Wang Gou’er was shaken all over.

The tip of the spear seemed to be stuck in something. Wang Gouer looked at the hideous face in front of him stupidly. The tip of the spear pierced into the leather armor of the Hun man. It seemed to be a little shallow, and he was grabbed by the man. With the gun body removed, the other hand raised the long knife high…

but the knife did not stab.

Hearing a pop, another gun grabbed the front and stabbed the Xiongnu soldier in the throat.

Zhao Da shook his hand and withdrew his spear: “Well done! When someone comes back, poke more accurately, and poke where there is no armor!”

Wang Gou’er responded vaguely, but when another face approached the wall of the car , as if something suddenly lit up in his mind.

I can kill enemies too!

I can do it too!

The hand holding the spear clenched it tightly. Following Zhao Da’s example, he also raised the spear and stabbed it out again!

After a quarter of an hour.

“General, the rear army is heavily guarded and has not been conquered!” The messenger flew to report.

Liu Cong frowned. The forward was so daring to fight, and the rear was quite prepared. It seemed that Pei Dun was not completely mediocre.

“Send the order to withdraw the troops. Fight again tomorrow!” Now is not the best reality. When the Xianbei soldiers of the Baibu come to the city and start to attack the city, it is the moment when the Jin army is in chaos and will collapse at the touch of a button.

What he wants to fight is not a simple victory!

“Commander, the enemy army has retreated!” The Chinese army also received a message at this moment.

After the army food and grass are not lost, the forward also blocked the enemy’s attack.

It looks like this fight can be fought!

Pei Dun, who waited left and right and couldn’t wait for the Shang Dang reinforcements, finally showed his first smile of the day.

He sneered and said, “I ordered to withdraw my troops. Tomorrow will set up a battle, and I will completely defeat this enemy army!”

This time the Huns were short of cavalry, and the team that attacked the food and forage could still be repulsed by the servants.

It seems that Li Shi’s defenders are unable to catch up after all.

With only 20,000 horses in his hands, he can handle it!

As for the reinforcements from the Shangdang… hum!

If Liang Zixi really dared to escape before the battle, how could he clean up this villain at both ends of the first mouse after seeing him return to Jinyang!

The sound of gold ringing resounded through the battlefield, and the two armies stuck in one place slowly stopped their attack, shrinking towards their respective camps like some kind of sticky worm.

Killing pauses.

However, in the farther city, a message was also sent to the desk.

“Liu Hu has dispatched troops, and his subordinate generals, together with Bai’s Xianbei, are full of ten thousand people.” Liang Feng’s face was as cold as ice.

He had already expected that Liu Hu would take this opportunity to attack the city.

But I didn’t expect that the other party’s actions were so fast!

So many people!

It seems that Liu Yuan is not ready to let Hedong go.

One is not good, and Bingzhou even has to pay a huge price for this reckless dispatch of troops.

“Boyuan, you lead your troops out of the city and garrison in the west of the city’s Longshan. Take advantage of Liu Hu’s unpreparedness and attack his flank!”

“My lord!” Yi Yan took a step forward, “Jinyang city is already empty, if I do it again If you lead troops out of the city, what will you do in the city?”

“Leaving 600 soldiers, and the young and strong in the city, can always defend! If Liu Hu is allowed to attack the city, maybe even the army’s back road will be dangerous.” Liang Feng’s voice There was no retreat, “This is the only way to keep Jinyang and the 20,000 army. You have to leave the city, and you can only win, not lose!” The

black eyes and the blue eyes collided, Yi Yan saw that The anger in the twin-star eyes also saw the same fiery unwillingness and determination.

Clenching his fists fiercely, he knelt down on one knee: “The last general leads the order!”
