Devil’s Advent

Happy New Year, Xiaolong wishes everyone good health and peace.

—————

The tranquility after the night attack did not last too 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 bring much pressure to 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 eating hot dry food while chatting.

There was already food in this fort, and most importantly, when Zheng Fan came out of Cuiliu Fort, it can be said that he brought all the luggage that he could take away, so there is no shortage of food in this fort right now.

White flour steamed buns, stuffed with shredded radish and minced meat, steamed and warm, served with a large bowl of hot water, served as both a dish and a staple food.

Xue San muttered to the blind man while gnawing:

"Those with stuffing are called steamed stuffed buns."

"It's just steamed buns, only those stuffed with pure meat are called steamed buns."

The blind man ate slowly and turned back.

The customs are different in different places, so the names are naturally different, but the blind man and Xue San are still arguing about this at leisure, which proves that they are very confident about the upcoming siege of the Jin army.

In fact, it is true.

When the drums of the Jin army began to beat, the siege battle officially kicked off.

Zheng Fan still stayed in his golden position, with his back against the coffin where Sha Tuo Queshi was lying. Liang Cheng was not by his side this time, but went to the other side.

However, Ah Ming and Siniang have been protecting Zheng Fan on both sides, which is the minimum standard configuration.

Zheng Fan stroked 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. There are many cavalry and a 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. The cavalry, after all, had to fight against the savages in the Tianduan Mountains and the northeast snowfields, so they couldn't let the soldiers run on the snowfields with their legs.

Wenren's family and Helian's family had a good infantry configuration, but they were basically destroyed in that battle.

And Yu Huacheng's army was originally recruited and expanded a lot of rout soldiers in the name of Emperor Jin. In this era, if you have no horses, it is difficult for you to flee back as a rout soldier. There was a very classic scene, the cavalry attacked the city.

Zheng Fan was cautious anyway, and he began to feel sorry for the Jin army general opposite him. After all, if the cavalry were dismounted and acted as infantry to climb up and attack the city, any general with a normal mind would feel so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

Moreover, it is not clear whether he is worried about the influence of his own reputation, or the warlords in the Three Jin Dynasty are all locals in their hometown. The scene similar to Li Fusheng's forcing civilians to fill the city in the upper capital was not staged here.

When the Jin army began to advance in a phalanx, an embarrassing scene appeared. The shield ration of this army and horses was seriously insufficient.

Many of the Jin soldiers in the front row were holding door panels or wooden chips from tables and chairs that were demolished from houses in nearby villages. Although the defense is not bad, it is difficult to form an effective organization. defense.

In addition, it is daytime again at this time. During the daytime, it is a very fair environment. You can see me clearly, and I can also see you clearly.

The soldiers and barbarians under Zheng Fan accounted for the majority, and his archery skills were even more capable of eating. After the Jin army phalanx entered the range, the Yan army on the city wall immediately began to shoot and kill with arrows.

Facing this kind of extremely accurate arrows, the soldiers of the Jin army fell to the ground one by one, and the archers of the Jin army behind them began to press down at this time, and began to shoot at the Yan army on the city wall.

After Zheng Fan shot seven arrows in a row, he began to rest, silently adjusting his 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, and the Jin army could maintain the division of labor at the beginning. After the battlefield became fierce, it completely entered a state of disregard and no hierarchy at all. , which reduces the pressure on the city wall a lot.

The silk thread in Si Niang's hand went down the wall, and the two ladders in front of her fell apart before the Jin soldiers climbed up.

A Ming is like a machine of Mo's feelings. He strings his crossbow, stands up, shoots downwards, then squats down, continues to string, gets 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 several arrows to hang on his body.

Sometimes Zheng Fan simply pulled out the arrow from Ah Ming's body,

shoot yourself again,

It can be said to be the most efficient recycling.

Similar to last night's advance of elite soldiers, it was not used again today. The two sides fought fiercely until noon, and the Jin army retreated after leaving a lot of corpses.

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 are burning hot oil, rolling logs and other defensive equipment below, but Liang Cheng didn't order to use them, because it's not yet that time.

After the Jin people retreated, Liang Cheng came to Zheng Fan's side to check the situation.

"The Jin army retreated now?" Zheng Fan still couldn't believe it. He thought it would be a fierce battle during the day, but now he felt a sense of loss that "you will fall before I exert my strength".

This is completely different from the expected battle formation. There is not much blood and excitement. Everyone is more like parts on the city wall running mechanically.

"Reporting to the lord, our soldiers are all elite soldiers, and even the hundreds of cavalry brought by Emperor Jin are all good soldiers in the army. There's no way."

The implication is that unless the Jin army comes slowly and spends more time building more siege equipment, it will be possible to pose a real threat to the Yan army in Wubao.

"Why do you feel less nervous than last night?" Zheng Fan asked curiously.

"My lord, our people defended the city for the first time last night."

"Oh, yes."

Zheng Fan nodded.

"Your Majesty, you can go down and rest first. The Jin Army Yunti has suffered a lot of losses. It will be very difficult for them to attack the city today."

"OK."

Zheng Fan believed in Liang Cheng's judgment and experience, and he got up and went down the city wall without being pretentious.

Si Niang also wanted to help some soldiers stitch up their wounds, so she didn't come down with Zheng Fan.

The blind man was still mobilizing. Xue San sneaked out of Wubao after the Jin army stopped attacking the city and hid in the suburbs. Fan Li was busy carrying bags of sand and gravel to help strengthen the city defense.

There was only one Ah Ming who came down with Zheng Fan. A lot of glowing cubs died on the city wall last night, and Ah Ming’s water sac became bulging again. He walked a few steps and took a sip. His expression was really amazing. Comfortable.

Wubao is only that big, and Zheng Fan's resting room is next to Jinhuang, which are considered to be the two best rooms in Wubao.

As soon as he got closer, Zheng Fan heard a call from the next room, ups and downs, ahhhhhh.

"Is this the level of self-abandonment?"

Zheng Fan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Obviously before yesterday, Emperor Jin was still a majestic emperor, and there was even some shadow of Goujian in Zheng Fan's heart.

But now,

The soldiers on the city wall outside had just experienced a massacre.

He Jinhuang actually started his conquest here.

The betrayal of the army outside indicated that the Jinhuang's old nest, Gyeonggi, had also changed hands. It can be said that the Jinhuang's qualification to play the poker table has been deprived.

Although he didn't really have the qualifications to bet on the table, at least he could stand by and wait for the happy money,

In case someone loses too much, he may be able to take over from others to play two games.

Now he doesn't even have the qualifications to watch the battle.

"My lord, my subordinates feel that this Emperor Jin is not so much a political attack, but rather a disappointment and despair in love."

"Everyone is already so unlucky, so don't make fun of it."

"That is what the Lord taught."

"The land of Gyeonggi is gone, I just don't know if the Queen Mother is safe."

"..." A Ming.

This sentence turned a corner, almost causing Ah Ming to spit out the blood he just drank.

At this moment, a woman in torn clothes came out of the house, and said to Zheng Fan and A Ming:

"My lords, Your Majesty welcomes you."

Zheng Fan and A Ming looked at each other, and then walked into the room where Emperor Jin was staying.

Jinhuang had just finished the battle, and the woman inside just put on her clothes.

After Zheng Fan came in, he cupped his hands and saluted:

"See Your Majesty."

In fact, when the two met yesterday, Zheng Fan was quite casual, but now, he seemed a little more respectful.

But there is actually a very obvious alienation in it.

Jin Huang's face was flushed, and he was holding a teapot to drink water. After putting down the teapot, he asked Zheng Fan:

"General Zheng, have the rebels outside Wubao been repelled?"

"Report to His Majesty, repelled."

"General Zheng is truly the god of war!"

Zheng Fan glanced slightly, and secretly said that he was called the God of War, and the ending was not very good.

"With General Zheng by my side, I can finally let go of my heart."

The flush on Jinhuang's face became clearer.

The mood of the whole person also became more and more excited.

This made Zheng Fan feel that something was wrong, his eyes began to wander around the table, and he saw a puddle of silver-white powder.

Fuck,

Still served!

"General Zheng, I want to thank you very much, and I want to reward you heavily!"

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high. The last general is just a duty, and he dare not be greedy for rewards."

You are poorer than me now,

What will you reward me with?

Jin Huang stood up, walked towards Zheng Fan, and said loudly:

"Removal of armor!"

"..." Zheng Fan.

What?

Zheng Fan was stunned.

Emperor Jin frowned slightly, and shouted:

"Don't you listen to me? I said, take off your armor!!!"

You are sick!

It is said that men in Jin are prevalent, but as an emperor, do you need to use your body to win over others?

The most important thing is that Zheng Chengshou has always been normal in that regard, without the slightest interest in Long Yang.

"Removal of armor!"

Jinhuang shouted angrily.

Zheng Fan was about to draw his sword and knock the emperor out of his mind,

but,

Before Zheng Fan drew his sword,

The two women in the room, the two granddaughters of the old dock owner, took off their clothes while sobbing.

Jinhuang laughed with satisfaction and said:

"General Zheng, you are an expert, what do you think of my running the army?"
