Chapter 861 Boiling
Bai Jinzhao and Bai Jinhua were even more dressed in military uniforms. They stood on both sides, with crossbowmen, and shot arrows at the enemy troops under the city wall and in the distance to defend against the enemy troops climbing the city wall.
Shen Yan'an and Shen Yanzhong also helped carry the stones, and led the team to smash them at the enemy troops who were trying to climb the city wall in an orderly manner.
Seeing that Li Mingrui had ordered people to push the catapult, and the archers had already released their arrows...
Shen Yan'an shouted loudly: "Everyone squat down! Everyone squat down!"
As soon as Shen Yan'an finished speaking, an arrow flying from a distance pierced Shen Yan'an's arm, and Shen Yan'an immediately fell to the ground. He clenched his teeth tightly to prevent himself from crying out in pain, and hid under the wall to adjust his breathing.
The first wave of arrow rain stopped, and Shen Yan'an stood up again, shouting: "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot the fucking bastard!"
Under the city wall, a rain of arrows crossed the city wall, injuring the people in the city, and some arrows even penetrated the temporary tents used by doctors to treat wounded soldiers.
The Shuoyang army who were still running to deliver supplies on the city wall shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up! Hide! Hide!"
The children and young people who were running errands and carrying stones moved flexibly, either hiding under the table or hiding in the house, and when the arrow rain stopped, they quickly carried the stones to the city wall.
The kabuki players in Hualou stretched their necks and looked out. Seeing that the soldiers and civilians of Shuoyang are fighting against the enemy with one heart, they can't help feeling overwhelmed...
Nakang has stayed in Shuoyang ever since she met Bai Qingyan and composed the song "General Bai's Expedition Song". She opened the window and looked at the people running downstairs, clamoring to go to the gate of the city to help their children who joined the army. , palms tightened.
There are children who play better with the fifth and sixth girls of the Bai family who patrol the city on weekdays. They accompany each other and yell to help: "The fifth and sixth sisters of the Bai family have gone to the city wall to kill thieves! We Hurry up and help!"
"Wait for me! I'll take the slingshot... and kill those thieves!" A child shouted loudly.
Nakang looked at the people of Shuoyang who were united as one, and her heart was full of emotions again, she suddenly felt heroic, she turned and ran towards the flower building, shouting loudly, let the sisters get dressed, and go with the people to help .
A prostitute leaned weakly on the vermilion lacquered pillar, Jiao Didi said: "We people can't carry it on our shoulders, what can we do if we go?"
"We can beat the drums! We can cheer! We can cheer up the soldiers!" Nakang said loudly, "Don't we always dance "General Bai's Expedition Song" in this flower building? Aren't we also envious of a woman like Princess Zhenguo? , can you ride a horse and hold a sword and lead your troops to kill the enemy?! Isn't today our chance?!"
The prostitutes seemed to be encouraged by Na Kang's words, and some said they were willing to follow Na Kang to help.
The prostitutes changed into neat clothes, tied up their long hair, and did what they could, even if it was helping the doctor to bandage the wounds of the soldiers, or even delivering a bowl of water to the soldiers.
Li Mingrui didn't know the situation in Shuoyang City at all, he had never actually been on the battlefield, this was the first time, he only felt that the speed of taking the city was much slower than he imagined, and his steed was kicking back and forth restlessly.
He turned his head and asked the experienced general who had led troops: "Little Shuoyang, the mob army...why is it so difficult to attack?"
The general of the forbidden army looked at the desperate posture of the soldiers upstairs, but he didn't think that these were all mobs.
"Although the accuracy of these crossbowmen in Shuoyang is not very good, they are all brave enough to fight desperately. If this is the case... it will be more difficult to fight." The general of the forbidden army said.
Li Mingrui tightened his grip on the rein: "How long do you think it will take?"
"My lord, it's really hard to say! For things like war...no one dares to say how long it will take to bring down a city!" said the general.
Li Mingrui pulled the reins, stared at the figures of Bai Jinzhao and Bai Jinhua leading the troops to shoot arrows on the city wall, turned his horse's head, and said to the general of the Jin army: "All their troops should be concentrated at the north gate, you immediately lead a thousand soldiers Go around to the west gate or the south gate, and disperse their forces to deploy defenses, so that the north gate will be easier to fight!"
The general of the Jin army took the order, turned his horse's head and led the soldiers away.
Li Mingrui's palms were full of sweat. Although he had read a lot of military books since he was a child, this was the first time he had actually been on the battlefield. When it really came time to fight, Li Mingrui was still a little uneasy, even if he was facing the black people like Shuoyang. He did not dare to slack off as a united soldier.
However, what Li Mingrui didn't expect was that just after he ordered his generals to leave with a thousand soldiers to attract Shuoyang's troops, he heard the sound of killing suddenly coming from behind their army.
Li Mingrui turned his head, only to see a mighty army holding high the black sail and white python flag suddenly appearing from behind, rushing towards them like a black tide.
Li Mingrui's eyes widened, staring fixedly at the black-sailed and white-boa flags flying in the wind, the armored cavalry rushing to the front lined up, before they arrived, the formation and the roaring roar were enough to deter these Chengri The imperial guards who spend their days in the imperial city are courageous.
Shocked and terrified, Li Mingrui grabbed the reins tightly, all he could see were armors, roughly estimated to cost tens of thousands... His heart trembled, did Bai Qingyan come back? How could she be so fast? !
Li Mingrui insisted on persuading Liang Wang to ask the emperor for a decree to rectify the name of Liang Wang when Liang Wang issued an order to recruit boys and girls from all over the country, saying that the crown prince was a rebellious minister, and Liang Wang had meritorious service in pacification, except that he held His Majesty's gold medal, arrow or imperial decree Those who deploy troops without authorization must not open the city and let them go...
Li Mingrui calculated carefully, so that even if Bai Qingyan and his party forced their way back to the capital city, someone would stop them on the way, and she would never come back so fast!
But who dares to say the word absolute for everything in the world! If the people in Shuoyang city saw that their reinforcements had arrived, and went out to fight again, how could the imperial army, who had seldom experienced wars in the imperial city, be their opponents? !
"Retreat! Retreat! Quickly retreat!" Li Mingrui shouted.
The messengers beside Li Mingrui spread out to send orders, and the horn sounded as the guards retreated...
Bai Jinzhao, who was still fighting desperately on the city wall of Shuoyang, raised his head and looked into the distance. He only heard the enemy's retreat horn and saw the darkness in the distance. He didn't know whether it was the enemy or the reinforcements.
The imperial army who was attacking the city heard the sound of the horn and retreated one after another.
The soldiers holding the black sail and white python flag in the distance were getting faster and closer, Bai Jinzhao opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Black sail and white python! It's the black sail and white python flag! It's the flag of our Bai family army !"
"Princess Zhen Guo is back! Princess Zhen Guo is back!"
It's not just Bai Jinzhao, the moment the black sail and white python flag came into view, the entire Shuoyang army was about to boil!
Bai Jinzhao's whole body was full of excitement, and he fired another arrow, shouting at the top of his voice, "Shen Yan'an! Lead the troops out of the city with me to hunt down the enemy!"
