In the next two or three days, Sun Jie walked up to the tower from time to time and stared at the earthen barrier on the opposite side that was being raised every day without saying a word. He stood motionless for half a day. If it weren't for the two hands and a few fingers behind his back, he wouldn't be able to hold on. By calculation, it looks like a statue.

On this day, when he saw the enemy's auxiliary soldiers carrying bundles of thick bamboos from the shed, Sun Jie issued four orders in one breath:

1. Prepare three hundred round wooden wedges.

2. Prepare sacks and shovels.

3. A pool is built on the roof of each city gate to store water and sand.

4. Recruit all the coppersmiths, tinsmiths, and blacksmiths in the city to collect scrap metal and go to the city.

Outside the city gate, the enemy inserted thick bamboos into the ground one by one in the east and west. Looking from a distance, there was no pattern. The auxiliary soldiers carried the thick wood from the long shed one by one. They disappeared one after another behind the earthen barrier.

Sun Jie paced back and forth on the city wall several times, then stood at a position and ordered the deputy general Shen Chenggang, the generals Shangguan Fei and Ishi Jingsheng, the Changjie camp (the private camp) Guerrilla Sheng Degong, and the Huyi camp (the main force). Battalion) guerrilla single Yehuo, Auxiliary Corps Qian Commander Su Yinghui and other generals called to their side and gave instructions and arranged everyone's tasks. Finally, he shouted in a deep voice: "This city is in danger, let's fight here. Those who fail to obey orders should know that military law is ruthless. !”

Amidst a burst of clanging armor, all the generals clasped their fists: "Take the order!"

outside the city.

The auxiliary soldiers, who had been busy for most of the day, were already exhausted, and the speed of transporting materials had obviously slowed down.

The armored men who were protected by the fully armed formations were tired of standing. Today, it was the Gangfeng Battalion that was on guard duty. Guerrilla Valley Bai Hua wiped the sweat from his face and his underwear was soaked. He needed to use something refreshing when he returned to the camp. The well water flushes you to your heart's content.

Like the previous few days, Guan Shengyun rode his horse along the military formation for a while before returning to the camp in the morning. The war horse is too delicate and cannot be used without strength. It cannot be used without a walk every day. It has a huge appetite and keeps eating, even You have to get up in the middle of the night to feed it - this kind of thing can of course be done by personal soldiers or even auxiliary soldiers, but Guan Shengyun knows that horses are very spiritual and need to establish a very close relationship with their owners: you have to count on them to save your life at critical moments. So you always Persist in doing things yourself.

Guan Shengyun, who was standing on the camp wall, looked up at the sun that was slightly in the west and waved his hand.

The horn sounded and the tooth flag rotated half a circle.

The armored soldiers in formation were ordered to rest where they were and sat down on the ground one after another. Some people tried to secretly loosen their armor, but the officers shouted at them and stopped, and some were even whipped - Gu Baihua was very good at running an army.

Guan Shengyun heard with satisfaction that Guo Qinglin, the officer of the auxiliary army, had just given an order to mobilize two hundred soldiers into the tunnel to replace the tired diggers.

Everything is in order.

Starting yesterday, the men began to spread out the city base to the two wings. Hundreds of logs have been transported in to support the section of the city wall in front of them. It seems that in one day or two at most, the fire will be ready.

The moment the city wall collapses, this battle is over!

The total strength is 1780. No one is interested in counting the captured cannon fodder one by one. It is just a rough number. They will be consumed sooner or later anyway - nearly 40% of them are armored. The opponent can only have 2000 soldiers without armor support. No matter how many soldiers there are, it is okay to defend under the cover of the battlements, but they are useless in the street fighting that is about to begin: they will be frightened to vomit at the sight of blood, and they are just lambs to be slaughtered. And our own auxiliary soldiers, inspired by entering the city to make a fortune , will glow with unprecedentedly high fighting spirit.

Let the troops plunder for a day, and then use the hearts and minds of the dog officers to pay tribute to the brothers who lost their lives a few days ago... Thinking of this, a cruel smile slowly crawled up the corner of Guan Shengyun's mouth.

Just as he was about to go down the wall and return to the tent, suddenly, without any warning, Wangzi on the observation platform shouted at the top of his lungs: "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking!" He pointed at the enemy city with one hand and waved the red pennant desperately with the other hand.

Without any hesitation, Guan Shengyun jumped down from the wall, stepped under the observation deck in three or two steps, and climbed up using his hands and feet. Before he reached the height of Diao Dou, he stopped in mid-air dumbfounded: the gate of the small camp outside the enemy city opposite was large.

Opening, there were no cannons, no war drums, and no shouts. A large number of soldiers with bright armor filed out. Without even a pause, the formation was completed during the march, and several phalanxes quickly came here.

Tang Qi, who was on guard on our side, immediately shouted and rode forward to meet them.

Guan Shengyun knew that they were trying to buy some time for themselves.

But the armored soldiers on the opposite side were hardly disturbed: the spearmen on the periphery flattened the two-foot-long horse-repelling spears in their hands almost at the same moment, and never stopped at their feet, and the entire phalanx just pressed forward.

Behind each phalanx, there were twenty or thirty enemy cavalry pressing down on the formation. Several of our own rangers had no chance to move over and harass them.

Tang Qi's horse galloped in front of Bai Sensen's spear point, suddenly changed direction, and flew past the outside of the phalanx. The Tang soldiers on the horse leaned over in vain and waved their weapons at the team, but the nearest one just missed the opponent.

The tip of the spear. In desperation, several Tangqi even threw their sabers directly at the enemy. Some were deflected, while others that were not blocked hit their helmets and armor. Some of them were only slightly delayed at their feet.

, several square formations still rushed over in a stunned manner!

After a moment of astonishment, Guan Shengyun, who climbed onto Diao Dou, loudly issued an order: All troops prepare for war! Set off fireworks signals!

A message cannon was fired, and the tooth flag was waved, conveying the order to prepare for war to the soldiers outside the camp.

Several fireworks shot up into the sky and exploded, echoing endlessly in the wilderness. Friendly forces in other directions would also receive news of the enemy's main force's surprise attack in a matter of moments.

However, Guan Shengyun knew that for the friendly troops to come to support them, they would have to circle half of the city, and they would have to maintain their physical strength during the march, which would take an hour at the earliest.

During this period, you can only rely on yourself to support yourself!

It was definitely too late to rush to the front line and take command personally. Fortunately, Diao Dou still had a wide field of vision. Besides, the camp must not be lost.

The soldiers who were taking turns in the camp put on their armor one after another and formed a noisy formation.

Guan Shengyun looked at the enemy formation and issued a series of flowing orders in his mouth. The soldiers shouted and rode out in all directions...

The troops who had just started to rest were in a panic when they heard the warning signal that suddenly sounded, and they lost precious time in forming their formations to prepare for battle.

Seeing the armored men pulling each other to get up, Guan Shengyun realized that the high earthen barriers also obscured the sight of his own defense troops - the most terrible thing is that ordinary soldiers are not so high up.

From the perspective of the observation deck, you have no idea about the enemy's offensive strength and formation!

Oops! This situation may have a fatal impact on morale!

Rich distance.

In a moment, the enemy's forward rounded the earthen base and hit it.

Preventing counterattacks is not without plans. However, because it was a siege battle, our own forces had an overwhelming advantage, and the camp was stationed in the middle of the road. The preset battle scenario at that time was that the enemy would break through and attack the camp with all their might - the defense of the earthen fortress was not considered

Inside!

Luzhai and Juma just made a hasty move. The enemy formation stopped for a moment, and Juma guns in the front row were put up to protect them. The unarmored auxiliary soldiers stepped forward and put on ropes, and a few people worked together to drag them. Guan Shengyun and Gu Baihua, who had mounted their horses in a hurry, were surprised. It was discovered that one's own side was immediately exposed to the opponent's attack!

Although the incident happened suddenly, Gu Baihua was still a little proud of the performance of his men: Gangfeng Battalion is the main battalion that has experienced battles for a long time. It cannot be said to be perfect. In a hurry, the basic formations of each team in the battalion came out at once, without armor. The archers had already fired the first round of arrows at the command of the team officer.

Seeing that there were still twenty or thirty feet left, the front lines of the two armies were about to collide.

But Gu Guerrilla still felt a little strange: the enemy army had not changed its formation, and the two-foot-long horse-rejecting spear was still standing in the front row. Not only was this spear almost useless in the melee, but it would also greatly hinder the battle - the sword and shield soldiers only needed to use it. The shield swings away the opponent's only thrust, and when bullied forward, the spearman has no choice but to throw away the weapon and run away! And due to its length, whether it is blocking or wielding, this weapon poses a far greater threat to his comrades around him than Damage to the enemy! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a vague uneasiness in my heart.

It’s not clear, but it’s ominous!

No matter what, we must buy time for the camp!

Gu Baihua pointed his long sword forward: "Meet the enemy!"

With the fourth round of arrows piercing the sky, the Gangfeng Battalion faced the enemy formation and moved forward!

Almost at the same time, Guan Shengyun, who was on Diao Dou, gradually saw the structure of the enemy's formation clearly, and shouted in shock: "Stop the Gangfeng Battalion! Form a formation, form a shield formation! Hold on to the spot!"

However, the order to summon the generals leading the front to turn back and observe the tooth flag relied on the cannon - it was too late!

When the elite veterans of the Gangfeng Battalion saw the gunfire that was about three to four feet away, they immediately felt relieved: The killers were coming! They all shouted and flew to meet them with their knives...

Gu Baihua, who was supervising the battle, heard a loud shout from the opposite side: "Squat!"

I saw the enemy's first two rows of spearmen all stopped and squatted on the spot, immediately exposing the soldiers behind them! Their shields were still on their backs, their swords were still in their sheaths, and they were holding two javelins in their left hands. Holding one in the right hand!

"It's over!"

Just as I had this thought in my mind, a row of javelins flew towards me, grazing the helmets of the enemy's front row spearmen, followed closely by the second wave, and the third wave!

Three javelin throws!

Accompanied by the muffled sound of an iron blade piercing flesh, miserable screams suddenly sounded...

The elite warriors who dared to fight forward in the Gangfeng Battalion were almost wiped out!

After three shots, there was no pause at all, and without even looking at the corpses on the ground and the wounded soldiers struggling in the pool of blood, the enemy's sword and shield soldiers rushed forward without stopping!

On Diao Dou, Guan Shengyun helplessly looked at the battle situation not far ahead.

An enemy slashed an unarmored archer on the neck with a knife. The blood spurted out from the carotid artery splattered most of his face. He didn't even wipe the blood dripping down the eyebrows of the helmet and continued to swing the knife. His next opponent was obviously He was a new soldier. He was so frightened that he subconsciously drew his gun. The enemy soldier used a round shield to deflect a soft stab, and then chopped off his head with a knife...

Two enemy soldiers were besieging Tangqiguan Si.

Guan Si was his adopted son, and he was very skilled. He took advantage of the horses to block left and right. The third enemy chopped down his opponent and turned around, stabbing the horse's belly with a smooth movement. The horse fell to the ground neighing sadly. Guan Si's legs were pinned under the horse. I don't know if it was an illusion. Even amid the noisy clash of weapons and screams, the stunned Guan Shengyun vaguely heard a soft click of a broken leg bone. In the blink of an eye, Guan Si was gone. Nailed to the ground with a short spear...

Personal barracks!

The enemy general’s personal camp!
Chapter completed!
