Royal Road

"Human has attacked the city!"

Overnight, the four gates of Jinyang City were closed tightly, and all the people were recruited into the city. The news of the enemy's invasion also spread across the streets and alleys in an instant.

Hasn't the army just been dispatched to attack Lishi? Why is there an enemy attacking the city? And I heard people say that there are not only the Huns, but also the Xianbei who are so cruel and a hundred times better than the Huns! Where are the generals who should guard the city? Is Lishi more important than Jinyang where they are located?

There is nothing more painful and desperate than waiting to die. However, before the people rioted, a decree was issued from the governor's mansion.

Liang Cishi has sent troops to ask for help, and the army that attacked Lishi will return soon. Before the reinforcements arrive, he will lead the high-ranking private soldiers, young and strong soldiers, to guard the city gate together!

When the enemy soldiers approach the city, the most important thing is often not the number of defenders, but the fighting will of the people in the city. This decree, like a strong wind blowing through the heart, instantly calmed the turbulent people's hearts. Later, Zaoyi Xiaoli recruited young people along the street, and Sun Li also took people to various homes and borrowed private soldiers from the stingy masters.

Early in the morning of the second day, the central gate of the governor's mansion opened wide, and a group of brightly armored soldiers walked out of the Yamen. In the middle of these hundreds, a man in armor sat on a high horse. The elegant gauze crown was replaced with a bright helmet, and the large sleeves of the robes were also changed into thin armors. The face of the person was still the same, but there was more determination and perseverance in the expression that people did not dare to look at.

That is Liang Cishi! Make Junguo really want to stand shoulder to shoulder with them, vowing to coexist and die with Jinyang!

The last bit of hesitation was completely dissipated, and the people along the street cheered. It seemed that they were not in an isolated city and were about to resist the attack of the army, but were celebrating the future victory. Hearing the cheers, Liang Feng didn't smile at all on his face, so he boarded the gate all the way.

Ge Hong, who was preparing for the battle, was full of anxiety and greeted him: "My lord, why are you here? The city is dangerous, so you shouldn't stay long!"

"It's okay." Liang Feng gently pushed Ge Hong away and looked down the city. As far as I can see, they are all headed horses. Yesterday evening, Liu Hu led Baibu Xianbei's troops to Jinyang. He didn't rush to attack the city, but built simple equipment under the city. With the chariot and ladder, even these nomads can tentatively attack. They obviously made sufficient preparations this time to take Jinyang with all their might!

Such an offensive posture is originally a kind of psychological coercion. If the defender of the city can't bear the pressure, he may even abandon the city directly, just like Sima Ying's performance in Yecheng.

However, Liang Feng is not that kind of person. Just glanced down at the city, he raised his voice and said loudly: "The army that goes to Lishi can return soon, as long as everyone keeps these days, the enemy will return without success. All the brave soldiers who climbed the city to defend the enemy, Everyone will appreciate the silk! If you beat the Xiongnu, you will appreciate ten acres of fields!"

It's enough to make people go up on the wall with them, let alone such a reward. Those young men who climbed to the top of the city cheered immediately. However, Ge Hong was not happy on his face, and again whispered: "My lord, the enemy is about to attack the city, let's go down the city quickly!"

"Zhichuan, how many people are there now in the city?" Liang Feng asked rhetorically.

Ge Hong was startled for a moment: "Less than two thousand."

"Two thousand defenders, and most of them are civil servants who have never been on the battlefield. With this manpower, in the face of an enemy five times their own, what else can I rely on besides the military spirit? If it can increase morale, I Just stay at the head of this city for a moment!" Liang Feng's voice didn't mean the slightest compromise, resolutely and resolutely.

"But there is no eye, if it hurts..."

Ge Hong wanted to say something, Liang Feng interrupted him directly: "There are only these soldiers in the city. If you break the city, staying in the government office and staying at the top of the city, what is the difference? Don't worry about me, you go and meet the enemy! "

Seeing that Liang Feng was so determined, he looked at the soldiers whose eyes were shining, as if they had taken some miraculous medicine, Ge Hong finally closed his mouth and went into pre-war preparations again.

Logs, arrows, spears and spears are piled up in the corner of the wall. The crossbow has been stretched to its full length, and its eyes are aimed at the city. The huge pot and stove is filled with boiling water, and coal is used underneath, which can burn for a longer period of time. As long as it is thrown in a wooden barrel, the skin will be hot and the flesh will be broken. There are also earthen pots standing far away. They are filled with tar made from coking coal. Once it is ignited with fire, it can instantly burn the cart and the ladder into a fireball.

This is the most adequate preparation that can be done. There were bloodshot eyes in Ge Hong, and he had obviously not fallen asleep all night.

Looking at the busy crowd, Liang Feng took a deep breath, picked up his usual hand crossbow, and said to the people around him: "You don't have to guard me, if the situation is urgent, you will also go up to meet the enemy!"

The guards around him did not answer, but stood beside him like a stone sculpture. Liang Feng didn't say anything, and held the crossbow tightly with both hands.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The cowhide drum rang, and the idle Xianbei people in the city stepped on their horses. After a while, the sound of horseshoes and killing shouts rang along with the rumbling drums.

Ge Hong squeezed the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Stick to the top of the city! Kill the enemy with me!"

"The enemy has retreated!" Pei Dun raised his eyebrows and said sharply.

"Captain! The strangeness of the enemy's retreat may be a trick to lure the enemy!" Linghu Sheng said immediately.

"Lure the enemy? If you lose before the battle, you are not afraid that your pretending defeat will become a real defeat?" Pei Dun sneered, "Li Shi is now empty, how can he make tricks? You personally lead someone to chase it!"

The two armies have been fighting fiercely for a long time, and it is not surprising that the enemy line is at the end of the battle. Pei Dun didn't want to miss the best time to defeat the enemy because of this veteran's "cautious"!

The corner of Linghusheng's mouth trembled, and finally he didn't say anything, and turned away. As soon as he walked out of the camp, he ran into Linghu Kuang head-on, and he whispered: "Yuanjun, guard the Chinese army to prevent the enemy from sneaking!"

Since he couldn't persuade Pei Dun's self-contained guy, it was safer to lead his own troops. If you see the situation is not good, you can still gather the soldiers and horses, so as not to fall into the trap. Only when the left wing leaves, the Chinese army will become empty, which will always make people feel uneasy.

Linghu Kuang was angry and nodded: "Uncle, be careful too!"

This battle was actually difficult. One day of fierce battle is not even close. Now that the front army has been at a loss, they have to attack from the left. This kind of greed for meritorious advancement is really not for the sake of the master... No, if it is for the master to have half self-knowledge, you should not put down Jinyang and send troops to attack Lishi!

But the war has ended, what else can he say?

Seeing his uncle's back strode away, Ling Hu Kuang did not dare to delay, and immediately strengthened the Chinese military's guard. After the left wing sent troops, he turned back and walked towards the Chinese army's big account. As soon as he entered the door, Pei Dun said, "Has the Shangdang soldiers and horses not arrived yet?"

Ling Hu Kuang swallowed his resentment: "It hasn't arrived yet."

"This is upright!" Pei Dun cursed. If the Shangdang arrived, why would he take the left wing and directly use that side division to defeat the fleeing enemy army! Is it possible that Liang Zixi doesn't care about Yanchi at all? Or does he want to profit from the defeat by watching himself and the 20,000 people lose?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that I guessed it right, Pei Dun shouted: "Take our military orders to Lucheng and urge the Shangdang to send troops!"

This is to skip Liang Feng as the governor and directly threaten the current Shangdang Luling. Linghu Kuang couldn't help taking a step forward. Just about to say something, he rushed towards him.

"Report! Liu Hu led 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Jinyang!"

"What?" Pei Dun stood up in shock, Xinxing County really sent troops? Ten thousand people! Only Liang Zixi's two thousand soldiers are left in the city. Can they defend the huge Jinyang?

Is the city broken? Do you want to save it? What about Lishi? In confusion, Pei Dun couldn't speak for a while, but Linghu Kuang reacted extremely quickly: "Shangdang soldiers and horses, but have you gone to help Jinyang?"

"Exactly!" the spy quickly said, "Some Shangdang soldiers left Qixian and went straight to Jinyang!"

It turns out that the party members are the saviors. At this moment, Pei Dun didn't know whether he should be angry or happy. With these party soldiers and horses, Jinyang will surely be able to sustain it for a while, and its own back road will be safer. Just, do you want to retreat now?

"The Governor! Jinyang is lonely! Retreat!" Ling Hu Kuang said loudly.

Liu Changshi also eagerly persuaded: "General, the situation is in crisis, it is indeed not easy to stay for a long time. We should retreat for the time being and wait until the siege of Jinyang is resolved before making plans."

Jinyang is their foundation. If Jinyang falls, the 20,000 people might turn back. Does it matter if you can't hit Lishi or save Hedong? This Liu Hu is so cunning to the extreme, how could he choose to attack the city at this moment...

wrong! Liu Changshi's expression changed suddenly: "General! We are afraid we will be caught! If Liu Hu attacked Jinyang, how could the Huns in front of him not know?!"

Yeah, how could they not know? Was that defeat a defeat, or was it to lure the enemy?

Pei Dun also woke up, and a cold sweat spread from his back: "Receive the troops! Quickly recruit the left wing for help!"

This reaction was not unpleasant, but on the other side, someone had already waited for the result they wanted.

"The left wing sent troops, and the Chinese army was empty." Liu Cong sneered, "My sons! Follow me to break the enemy camp!"

With the sound of hoofs exploding, Liu Cong's more than four thousand horses, like a arrow from the string, fiercely rushed towards the Chinese army's big account that began to panic!

※

Conquering the three cities, before resting, received the military order. All the men and horses were ordered, Zhang and Pi Xing Daiyue rushed towards Longshan. To avoid the enemy's horse detection, but also to ensure the marching speed, this road is simply more difficult than it was before.

However, after only half a day, they arrived at Longshan and merged with the trilogy hidden in the mountain.

Regardless of his tired face, Zhang He almost didn't step forward: "General, the future will be late! How is Jinyang?"

Yi Yan's face was sinking like water: "The Xiongnu have already begun to attack the city, and they have attacked for six hours today. I am afraid that I will use the tactics of exhausting the army at night.

Six hours! How many people are there in Jinyang City? How can you stop such an attack?

"General! Our army has three thousand, let's attack!"

Three thousand horses and half of the cavalry are enough to ease the enemy's offensive! The lord is still in the city!

However, this time, Yi Yan did not agree: "The lord has an order, only to win, not to lose! Now is not the best time to defeat the enemy."

Baibu Xianbei had just arrived under the city, and even after a day's battle, his vigilance and combat effectiveness had not faded. It was a barbarian that was more difficult to deal with than the Huns. Born on horseback, they were brave and brave. If you use this to fought three battles and drove the soldiers for another day to meet the enemy, you will be defeated tragically in all likelihood. Don't say you saved Jinyang City, you can't even protect yourself!

Now is not the best time.

The head of the heart was scorched by the fire, but Yi Yan still held back: "You go to rest quickly and stay where you are!"

"General..." Zhang He wanted to say something else.

Yi Yan's gray-blue eyes had already looked over: "You can only win, you can't lose!"

There is something in that different pupil. Cold as ice, as fierce as flames, shuddering!

Zhang He's voice was stagnant, and he pressed his fist to his chest and made a military salute in the Liang Mansion: "The final commander!"

Yi Yan turned his head and looked again at the tall city with only a dim corner. He will win this battle! Must win!
