Chapter 1354: Troops Approach Yuci

On this day, as usual, Han Jing went to the city tower for inspection after breakfast. Of course, the main direction was the east city. Just as he inspected the defenses on the city wall, he was about to continue patrolling people in other directions. Suddenly, the guard next to him pointed to the east and shouted: "General, someone is coming from the east."

Looking in the direction of the guard's finger, Han Jing saw several cavalrymen running towards this side. Behind them, there were more black spots approaching quickly. If you weren't a person with good eyesight, you wouldn't be able to see them at all. clear. Because those are coming from the east, and at this time, it happens to be the direction of the rising sun. Under the irradiation of the morning sun, it happens to be the awning area of ​​​​people's field of vision.

Seeing this situation, Han Jing's heart skipped a beat and he shouted: "Come here, send the order, close the city gate and be on alert!"

"Woo..."

Following his order, the warning horn sounded on the east city gate tower. Soon, the east city gate that had just been opened slowly closed with a "rumbling" sound, and the iron cables of the suspension bridge lowered on the city wall also With the sound of "clatter", it was quickly tightened, and the suspension bridge on the ditch outside the city was also closed.

After a while, Han Jing finally saw the appearance of the cavalry clearly. There were only eight cavalry in front of him. The leader was a cavalry commander under his command. The other seven were also cavalry under his command. Eight of them were They were all covered in blood, and it looked like they had been through a big battle.

[To be honest, I have been using Mimi recently to read and catch up on books. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】

Behind them were nearly a hundred cavalry. Although he could not see clearly, Han Jing was almost certain that those cavalry were Tang Army cavalry.

The cavalry commander also saw Han Jing on the city wall, and while galloping on his horse, he shouted loudly: "General, Tang Army!... The Black Mountain Bandits have surrendered to the Tang State, and the army is coming towards Yuci, General! Please close the city gate quickly and prepare for war..."

When Han Jing heard this, he was shocked and quickly ordered: "Send warning! Prepare for war!"

"woo woo woo woo……"

Immediately, the horn sounded more urgent than before on the east gate tower. This was a signal that Han Jing had arranged in advance. The sound of the horn meant that Yuci City was about to face war.

As the horn sounded, warning horns sounded all over the city, and the barracks in the city became lively. After a while, groups of soldiers lined up from the barracks and ran towards the pre-arranged direction. Some soldiers led groups of civilians carrying various supplies towards the city wall.

Soon, several cavalrymen arrived a hundred steps away from the city wall. Han Jing shouted to the bottom of the city: "Go around to the west gate and enter the city!" After saying that, he ordered to the guards beside him: "Send the order, the archers are ready. , if the enemy cavalry dares to come within a hundred steps, shoot him!"

Upon hearing this, the cavalry under the city rushed within the shooting range of the archers on the city wall. They immediately turned their horses and detoured towards the west gate. Behind them, dozens of Tang Army cavalry saw that they had entered the enemy archers on the city wall. After reaching the attack range, under the order of a general, he slowly reined in the horse and stopped the horse two hundred steps outside the city.

After about a cup of tea, a black cloud appeared on the eastern horizon. As time went by, the black cloud became bigger and bigger, and then gradually everyone could clearly see that it was They were most of the Tang army.

Looking at the slowly approaching Tang Army, Han Jing felt a chill in his heart. The Prime Minister had never expected that the Black Mountain Bandits would directly surrender to the Tang State. You know, whether it was Zhang Yan or other Montenegrin Army generals, There is a deep hatred between them and the Tang State. Those Black Mountain bandits would rather surrender to the Tang State than to surrender to their own king.

Thinking of this, Han Jing looked back at his guards and said, "Has the cavalry entered the city already?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another guard behind him said: "General, the cavalry who went out to explore the city have entered the city, and the leader of the camp is asking for an audience at the bottom of the city."

"Quickly, let him come to the city!" Han Jing said quickly;

soon,

The cavalry commander was taken to the city wall. He was covered in blood, with two arrow feathers hanging on his body, and he looked tired.

After bowing to Han Jing, he said: "General, Weijiang discovered the Tang army thirty miles east of Yuci. According to Weijiang's guess, the soldiers at all the warning points in the east should have been poisoned by the Tang army. When the general discovered the Tang army, he led his men to approach quietly in order to get information about the Tang army. Unfortunately, the Tang army general was too cautious. "

The cavalry commander took a breath and then told Han Jing again.

"Weijiang just led his men to approach, but within less than a mile, he was spotted by the Tang Army's sentry. Soon, more than a hundred Tang Army cavalry surrounded us, intending to surround and kill us, but Weijiang saw the situation. When things didn't go well, he led his troops to break out of the encirclement. Along the way, the Tang army was in hot pursuit. As a last resort, the general had to constantly cut off the enemy."

At this point, the Tun general struck with his fists and said bitterly: "If it weren't for the fact that the subordinate war horses were exhausted, only a few of them would have been able to escape."

"Have you ever found out the detailed information about the Tang army's troops?" Han Jing asked in a deep voice;

The general shook his head: "Wei Jiang only took a look at it from a distance, and the detailed information could not be obtained. However, according to what Wei General saw, the number of Tang army's troops should be around 30,000 infantry, and the number of cavalry was less than 30,000." There were a lot of them. When the Tang army discovered Wei Jiang and his party, there were only a few hundred cavalry in front of them, and there was no sign of a large number of cavalry in the army. "

Han Jing nodded, waved to the garrison commander and said, "You have worked hard, go back to the camp and rest first."

The garrison commander heard this and bowed his head to accept the order. But Han Jing did not have time to think about it. The Tang army in the east was getting closer and closer, and he could gradually see the general situation of the army.

As the garrison commander said, the number of this Tang army was indeed around 30,000, and the cavalry of the army was indeed not many, at most less than a thousand. Another point is that Han Jing was basically sure that these Tang troops were reorganized by the Black Mountain Bandits, and not directly under the army transferred from the Tang Kingdom.

However, although these soldiers and horses were not the most elite troops of the Tang Kingdom, the generals leading them shocked Han Jing. There was a big Zhao army embroidered on the general flag, and the words "Pingbei General" next to it made Han Jing know that the leader of the troops this time was Zhao Yun, the Pingbei General of the Tang Kingdom. You know, this is the only general in the world who can fight against his own king.

Fortunately, Han Jing did not find a large number of Baima Yicong from the Tang army, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. With 23,000 infantrymen attacking the city he was defending, he should be able to hold them back for at least ten days and a half months, which would also buy more time for the prime minister and the captain of Taiyuan.
