Happy New Year, Xiaolong wishes everyone good health and peace.
——————
The peace after the night attack did not last long. The next morning, the Jin army outside Wubao began to formally prepare to attack the city.
However, with last night's night attack as a foreshadowing, this scene during the day did not put much pressure on the Yan army in Wubao.
While the Jin army outside Wubao was preparing to advance step by step, the Yan army on the wall of Wubao was chatting and eating hot dry food.
There is already food stored in this fort. The most important thing is that when Zheng Fan came out of Cuiliu Fort, it can be said that he took all the baggage he could take with him, so now this fort has There is no shortage of food at all.
White flour steamed buns, stuffed with shredded radish and some minced meat. They are steamed and hot. You can hold them in your hand with a large bowl of hot water. They are both a side dish and a staple food.
Xue San muttered to the blind man while chewing:
"Anything with fillings is called a steamed bun."
"It's just a steamed bun, pure meat. Those stuffed with stuffing are called steamed buns."
The blind man ate them slowly and smacked them back.
Customs vary from place to place, so the names are naturally different, but now the blind man and Xue San still have time to argue about this, which proves that they are very confident about the Jin army's upcoming siege.
This is indeed the case.
When the Jin army's war drums began to beat, the siege officially began.
Zheng Fan still stayed in his prime position, leaning against the coffin lying on the Sha Tuo Que Stone. Liang Cheng was not beside him this time, but went to the other side.
However, A Ming and Siniang have been protecting Zheng Fan on both sides. This is the minimum standard.
Zheng Fan rubbed the hard bow in his hand with his fingers, tilted his head slightly, and began to look at the situation below through the gaps between the battlements.
To be honest, the problems faced by the Jin army are similar to those of the Yan army. They have more cavalry and lack of infantry. Of course, this does not mean that the proportion of cavalry in the Jin army is higher than that of the Yan people. In fact, the three Jins The Situ family originally focused on cavalry. After all, they had to fight with the savages in the Tianduan Mountains and the snowfields of the Northeast. They could not let the soldiers run on the snowfields with their legs.
The Wen family and the Helian family did have good infantry configurations, but they were basically destroyed in that battle.
Yu Huacheng’s troops and horses were originally recruited and expanded in the name of the Emperor of Jin. In this era, if you don’t have horses, it’s easy for you to flee back as a defeated army. Difficulties, various reasons, caused a very classic scene to appear now, cavalry attacking the city.
Zheng Fan was cautious anyway, and he began to feel sorry for the Jin generals on the opposite side. After all, any general in his right mind would do it if the cavalry were to dismount and act as infantry to attack the city. Heartache makes me unable to breathe.
Furthermore, it is not clear whether he is worried about the influence of his reputation, or whether the warlords in the Three Jin Lands think that they are all locals in their hometowns.People, a scene similar to what Li Fusheng did in Shangjing City, forcing civilians to fill the city, was not staged here.
When the Jin army began to advance in a square formation, a very embarrassing scene appeared. The shield rations for this army were seriously insufficient.
Many of the Jin troops in the front row were holding door panels from demolished houses in nearby villages or wood chips from tables and chairs. Although defensively, they were not very bad. But it is difficult to form an effective organizational defense.
In addition, it is daytime again at this time. During the day, it is a very fair environment. You can see me clearly and I can see you clearly.
Zheng Fan’s soldiers accounted for the majority of barbarians, and his shooting skills were even better. After the Jin army’s formation entered the shooting range, the Yan army on the city wall immediately began to attack with arrows. Shoot.
Faced with such accurate and powerful arrows, the Jin soldiers fell to the ground one by one. The army began to shoot at each other.
After Zheng Fan shot seven arrows in a row, he began to rest his strength and silently regulate his energy and blood.
At this time, the Jin army under the city wall began to set up ladders to climb.
The fighting between the two sides began to intensify, but the defenders had an absolute advantage after all. The Jin army could maintain the division of labor at the beginning, but when the battlefield heated up, it completely entered a state of indifference. The state is completely without levels, which reduces the pressure on the city wall a lot.
The silk thread in Siniang's hand went down the wall. The two ladders in front of her had fallen apart in the middle before the Jin soldiers could climb up.
A Ming is like a Mo emotional machine. He strings the crossbow, stands up, shoots downwards, squats down again, continues to string the crossbow, stands up, and shoots again.
Because his frequency was too fast, he attracted the attention of many Jin army crossbowmen below, so it didn't take long for him to have several arrows hanging on his body.
Zheng Fan sometimes simply pulls out the arrow from A Ming,
shoots it himself,
which can be said to be the most efficient recycling method .
Similar to the method of elite troops rushing in last night, it was not used today. The two sides fought fiercely until the afternoon. The Jin army retreated after leaving corpses on the ground.
The battle was fierce, but there was really no "shaky" posture.
After the Jin army retreated, the people in Wubao began to prepare meals, and the soldiers began to take time to rest.
In fact, there were burning hot oil rolling logs and other defensive equipment down there, but Liang Cheng did not order them to be used because it was not that time yet.
After the Jin people retreated, Liang Cheng came to Zheng Fan to check the situation.
"The Jin army retreated now?" Zheng Fan was still a little unbelievable. He thought it would be a fierce battle during the day, but now he had a feeling of "You will fall before I even exert my strength." "Down" feeling of loss.
This is completely different from the expected battle formation, not muchIt was passionate and not exciting. Everyone was more like parts on the city wall operating mechanically.
"Replying to your lord, our soldiers here are all elite, and even the hundreds of cavalry brought by Emperor Jin are all good soldiers in the army. In this situation, the other party only wants to rely on some ladders. It is basically impossible to break the city by force."
The implication is that unless the Jin army takes their time and spends more time building more siege equipment, it will be possible to attack the people in Wubao. The Yan army posed a real threat.
"Why do you feel that you are not as nervous as last night?" Zheng Fan asked curiously.
"Lord, our people defended the city for the first time last night."
"Oh, yes."
Zheng Fan nodded.
"My lord, you can go down and rest first. The Jin army's ladders have suffered a lot of losses. It will be difficult for them to launch another siege today."
"Okay."
Zheng Fan believed in Liang Cheng’s judgment and experience, and without any pretense, he got up and climbed down the city wall.
Siniang had to help some soldiers suture their wounds, so she did not come down with Zheng Fan.
The blind man was still doing mobilization work. After the Jin army stopped attacking the city, Xue San secretly left Wubao and hid in the suburbs. Fan Li was busy carrying bags of sand and gravel to help reinforce the city defense.
Only A Ming was left to accompany Zheng Fan down. Many glowing cubs died on the city wall last night. A Ming’s water bag became bulging again. He walked a few steps to drink. One sip, the look is really comfortable and comfortable.
Wubao is only that big. The room where Zheng Fan rests is next to Jinhuang. They are the two best rooms in Wubao.
As soon as he got closer, Zheng Fan heard the shouts coming from the next door room, ups and downs, ah oh eh eh.
"Have you given up on yourself to this extent?"
Zheng Fan couldn't help but sigh.
Obviously before yesterday, Emperor Jin was still a majestic emperor, and there was even a shadow of Gou Jian in Zheng Fan's heart.
But now,
the soldiers on the wall outside have just experienced a massacre,
he Emperor Jin actually started his own conquest here. .
The betrayal of the outside army indicates that the Jin Emperor’s home base, Gyeonggi, has also changed hands. It can be said that the Jin Emperor has been deprived of his qualifications to play the poker table.
Although he didn’t really have the qualifications to bet at the table, he could at least stand by and wait to get the happy money.
In case someone loses too much, he Maybe he can take over from others and play a few games.
Now he is not even qualified to watch the game.
"My lord, I feel that this Emperor Jin is more appropriately said to be frustrated and desperate in love than a political blow."
"Everyone knows You’re already so unlucky, so don’t make fun of her like this.”
“The Lord taught me a lesson.”
“The capital is gone, but I don’t know how to deal with it.”Is it safe afterwards? ”
“…………” A Ming.
This roundabout sentence almost made A Ming spit out the blood he just drank.
That’s it. At this moment, a woman in torn clothes came out of the house and said to Zheng Fan and A Ming: "Two adults, Your Majesty invites you. ”
Zheng Fan and A Ming looked at each other and walked into the room where Emperor Jin was.
Emperor Jin had just finished the battle, and the woman inside had just put on her clothes. Clothes.
After Zheng Fan came in, he bowed his hands and saluted:
"See Your Majesty. ”
Actually, when the two met yesterday, Zheng Fan was very casual, but now he seems to be more polite and respectful.
But there is actually an obvious alienation attitude in it.
The Emperor Jin's face was flushed and he was drinking water from the teapot. After putting down the teapot, he asked Zheng Fan: "General Zheng, the rebels outside Wubao have been repulsed. ? "
"Reply to Your Majesty and repel them. "
"General Zheng is truly the military god of the world! "
Zheng Fan glanced slightly, and secretly thought that the person who was called the God of War had a bad ending.
"I have General Zheng by my side, and this heart, Finally I can let it go. ”
The flush on Emperor Jin’s face became clearer.
The whole person’s mood became more and more excited.
This made Zheng Fan feel a little Something was wrong, and my eyes began to wander around the table, and I saw a pool of silvery white powder.
Damn it,
I even drank it!
"Zheng. General, I want to thank you very much, and I want to reward you heavily! "
"Your Majesty has given you too much praise. The general is only responsible for his duties and does not dare to be greedy for rewards. "
You are poorer than me now,
What can you reward me with?
Emperor Jin stood up, walked towards Zheng Fan, and said loudly:
“Remove armor! "
"..." Zheng Fan.
What?
Zheng Fan was stunned.
The Jin Emperor frowned slightly , shouted:
"Don't you listen to me? I said, take off your armor! ! ! ”
You must be sick!
It is said that masculinity prevails in Jin people, but as an emperor, do you need to use your body to win over people?
The most important thing is that Zheng Chengshou has always been normal and has no interest in Long Yangzhi.
"Remove armor! ”
The Emperor of Jin shouted angrily.
Zheng Fan was about to draw his sword and knock the emperor unconscious,
However,
Before Zheng Fan could draw his sword,
the two women in the room, the two granddaughters of the old dock owner, took off their clothes while sobbing. < /p>
The Jin Emperor laughed with satisfaction and said:
"General Zheng, you are an expert.How about me running the army? ”
