[69 Book Bar - www.] Not long after I left, I suddenly felt a chill on my forehead. When I looked up, it started to rain again.
Now is the rainy season, but it hasn’t rained much in the past two days. It rained only once a few days ago, and then there were two good days in a row. But today it started to rain again. When I looked up, I saw thousands of silver lines.
They all seemed to come from the void, rushing towards my eyes from time to time.
I let some rainwater catch on my face and then stretched out my hand to wipe it.
Returning to the south gate, it was raining heavily. Wu Hou rode in the lead, and the rain hit his cloak, outlining a majestic silhouette. As soon as he arrived at the city, Lu Gongxing ran down from the top of the city and said: "
Report to the Lord, it seems that the Snake Man is about to take action."
Marquis Wu got off his horse and ran quickly to the city. We followed him and rushed to the city. Now, there were many people at the south gate of the city. The Chinese army had the largest number of people. The other three armies each had 20,000 people.
There are 40,000 troops, and now there are about 35,600, half of whom are already at the top of the city.
Looking over, in the rain, the snake-men formation was slowly grinding. Wu Hou asked: "Is it always like this?"
Lu Gongxing's face was very solemn and he said: "Yes. It seems that the snake man is making arrangements and seems to want to launch an unprecedented attack."
Wu Hou looked there and suddenly said: "General Chu, I heard that you have a telescope there?"
I was shocked. Marquis Wu even knew this, maybe it was someone who joined the army and reported it. I knelt in front of him and said: "Your Majesty, yes. It was done by Xue Gongzheng of the right army. He can see far, but it's not enough."
It’s clear, I can only see a vague outline.”
Wu Hou said: "If he can make this telescope so that he can see clearly, it will be a great thing for the army. General Chu, come and see, what is the snake man doing?"
I walked forward and took a closer look. However, the snake people were just snake people, grinding slowly a mile away. Now because of the rain, the dust has dispersed, and I can see that the snake people have been lined up in a row.
Open, it looks like there are more than 20,000. Is that Shandu's army? But although I can't see anything clearly, the colors of the snake man's short armor are divided into two types. The one in the middle is green, and the one on the left is brown. The green
The ones that are there are probably an army led by Shandu, and the number of browns is still increasing, and they are probably just transferred from the west gate. It seems that the snake people are probably going to have a decisive battle with me at the south gate.
I said: "The snake people seem to have put their main force here."
Wu Hou sneered and said: "Is it the main force?"
He stared at the group of snake men and said: "The most elite troops from the North Gate have not been transferred at all. They are following our trick in besieging Gaojiu City and want to trap us to death."
I was shocked. We have seen the horrors of sieges many times. Do the Snake People want to besiege Gaojiu City a second time just like we did when we besieged Gaojiu City? We besieged Gaojiu City for three months, but now Gaojiu City is in dilapidated condition.
, I’m afraid that the Snake Man would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort without having to surround him for another three months. At this time, I heard Wu Hou murmur: "Just sitting back and reaping the benefits, no wonder it’s not because the four generals encircled the plan. It turned out that everything was done from beginning to end."
It's a trap. Humph, Tang Shengtai, you have spent your whole life in the military, but in the end you have fallen into the trap of such a beast."
I was speechless. Such traps cannot be avoided by human power. When we first attacked Gaojiu City, we did not expect that snake men would appear. At this time, Lu Gongxing said: "Junhou, we really don't have to fight with you in the city."
They got entangled, and while there was no enemy at the east gate, I immediately went to work and caught them off guard at the east gate."
Wu Hou's eyes lit up, as if he was moved by Lu Gongxing's words, he sat down slumped and said, "What if the snake man has already ambushed outside the east gate?"
I dare say there will definitely be an ambush outside the east gate. The snake man deliberately left a way out to make us suspicious. If we rush out through the east gate, we will definitely be ambushed.
Lu Gongxing said: "Your Majesty, if you just sit back and wait for death, wouldn't it be even more hopeless? Even if there is an ambush outside the east gate, we will camp step by step and use Mr. Zhang's fire and thunder bullets to clear the way. After the fire is broken, the snake man will not be able to kill us in one fell swoop.
If they are defeated or trapped in the city, the food and grass will be exhausted, and then it will be more difficult to get out."
Wuhou looked at the snake camp outside the south gate and frowned. Lu Gongxing's words were not unreasonable, but Wuhou's words were related to the safety of the entire army. Once the decision was made wrong, it would be too late to regret it. He stared at
Walking outside the city, I still couldn't make up my mind.
It's raining now, so it's not easy to light the fire, and the fire won't burn too much. But now is indeed a good opportunity to rush out of the city. At least many snake people have been transferred to the south gate, which is the most heavily defended. If
We made a sound in the east and attacked in the west. We rushed out from the east gate. It was not known whether we could really break out of the encirclement.
Wu Hou thought for a while and stood up suddenly. I looked at his figure and wondered what decision he was going to make. Just as he was waiting to hear Wu Hou issue an order, there was a loud shout from the east. Wu Hou suddenly walked away
Go to the east side of the city wall and look there.
In the rain, it was blurry and unclear even a hundred or two hundred steps away. The south gate and the east gate were two miles apart, so naturally they couldn't be seen at a glance.
At this time, a fast horse rushed out of the rain. The horse beat like a gust of wind until it reached the bottom of the city wall. The man on the horse had no time to get off the saddle and was already shouting: "Your Majesty! The east gate is in emergency!"
Wu Hou was shocked and said: "What?"
"Snakemen appeared suddenly at the east gate, numbering in the tens of thousands. They are now storming the city gate. General Lu is trying his best to resist."
There are snake people at the east gate too! I was surprised, but it seemed to be expected. The snake people would never attack only three sides and leave the east side completely empty.
Wu Hou asked: "What is the current situation of the war?"
The messenger reined in the horse, which ran too fast and was still spinning around. He said loudly: "Our army has suffered heavy casualties and the situation is extremely critical."
Marquis Wu frowned tightly. The Zuo army has always been the elite of the army. Lu Jingyu led the troops well, and the Zuo soldiers had strong attack and defense power. However, the Snake people attacked the city repeatedly, leaving Dong alone.
Without attacking the gate, this was the first time for the Zuo army to resist the snake men, and they were afraid they would also suffer a loss.
Wu Hou said: "General Lu, General Chu, you lead your cavalry troops to rush for reinforcements. Lei Gu, you immediately go to give orders to General Yue and General Hu, be careful of the attack of the snake people!"
Lu Gongxing and I agreed and rushed down to the city immediately. When we went down to the city, the Longlin Army was in good order, and seemed to be more orderly than the forward battalion. Wu Wanling's improvement of military discipline has also begun to bear fruit.
I thought about it and jumped on the horse. Lu Gongxing said: "General Chu, you go first."
The Dragon Scale Army only had more than 300 people, which was much easier to lead than the forward battalion of more than 1,000 people. I gave an order and all the Dragon Scale Army were mounted. I said to Lu Gongxing: "General Lu, I'm leaving first." I patted the horse.
Rush towards the east gate.
Although the horse was bumpy, I felt a little proud. Marquis Wu now often orders me to move with the forward battalion, and the status of the Dragon Scale Army is roughly equal to that of the forward battalion.
