Chapter 176: It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice
Among the warriors in Jinyang City, Jian Xilai may not be the one who kills the most, but he must be the one who kills the most foreigners.
The eldest princess opened her mouth and wanted Jian Xilai to answer everyone's questions, but Jian Xilai didn't even move his eyebrows. For someone like Jian Xilai, let alone the eldest princess speaking, even if Emperor Hongdao stood in front of him
, if he didn’t want to say it, he wouldn’t say it.
In this world, there are not many people who can make Jian Xilai's heart, because Jian Xilai only has swords in his heart and cannot spare more space for people, so the words of the eldest princess just fall on deaf ears to Jian Xilai.
.
Chen Buwen knew Jian Xilai's temperament, so as soon as the eldest princess finished speaking, she smiled and said: "You have learned Taiping's ability to pinch and calculate, right? Otherwise, how would you know what to use in the next two days?
Can’t you join us Jianghu warriors?”
Chen Buwen's reaction was not unpleasant, but Mr. Zhao still saw from it that Jian Xilai did not pay attention to the eldest princess. He felt a little unhappy in his heart, but said with a smile: "I also want to hear about Brother Deng Fei.
Kudos to you!"
Jian Xilai opened his eyes and did not look at anyone else. Instead, he looked at Chen Buwen and said: "On the first two days, the foreign troops as consumables were responsible for attacking the city. Only on the third day did Tie Molele's Leopard Division move.
, so the hard fight will be in three days!"
Mr. Zhao smiled and said: "Brother Deng said this, I would like to ask, if we all go to practice or rest, will Brother Deng not be afraid that foreigners will rob part of the city wall in the first two days of the offensive and defensive battle?"
After listening to Mr. Zhao's words, Jian Xilai glanced at him, and then looked at the eldest princess holding the stars and the moon and said: "If we can't defend it in the first two days, there is no need for us to be here!"
Jian Xilai said very few words, but everyone understood clearly that if Jinyang City could not withstand even the foreign troops, then once the more powerful Leopard Division and Tiger Division attacked the city, Jinyang would definitely be destroyed and people would die.
.
Under the setting sun, the two Leopard Master Khans who were watching the battle from a distance pointed at Jinyang City with joy on their faces.
"Brother Ke Ke, what do you think of Ganren's city defense?"
Koda Khan raised his lips slightly and said with a disdainful smile: "The city is good, but it's a pity that the people are not good! If we attack the city tomorrow, my troops can capture the city in one day."
Urri looked at Jinyang City and smiled and said: "Brother Ke Ke, I want to ask why the people in Jinyang City are not good! I heard from the Great Khan that Peng Gengqie was a famous veteran of the Qian Dynasty.
Especially when it comes to defending the city!"
After listening to Urri's words, Koda laughed and said: "Brother, look at the soldiers on the city wall. After shooting an arrow, they would retreat into the battlements for a long time without showing their heads! Obviously, they are all cowards who have never seen blood.
With such a government soldier, no matter how powerful Peng Gengqie is, he still can't defend Jinyang!"
Seeing Urzhi Khan smiling and nodding, Koda Khan smiled again and said: "There is a saying from Ganren that I must have never heard! If I had, I would definitely not bring Peng Gengche out!"
Urri said doubtfully, "Brother Koda, please tell me and let me learn a lot!"
Koda Khan laughed, "It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!" Then he patted Urzhi on the shoulder...
As the sun set, the foreigners called for gold and retreated their troops. Jinyang City was at a standstill, and the offensive and defensive battle in Mayi City far away from Yanmen Pass also came to an end for the time being.
Xun Liang worked hard all day. Although he didn't kill any foreigners with his own hands, he was still very tired. After all, Xun Liang was old and could not compare with the young people like Nangong Shou, but the old man still insisted on not going home.
, but patrolled around the city wall.
At a corner of the city wall that collapsed, the people of Mayi County used wooden hammers to pound the soil to repair the city wall that was damaged by the throwing carts. The clay was mixed with hot water by the people in the city in advance. Although the clay was not as strong as the stone wall after tamping, it was still strong.
It can also be used for emergency purposes.
I saw that the city wall was in a mess after the war. Some were repairing the city wall, some were carrying rolling stones and logs to prepare for war, and there were also those responsible for cleaning up the corpses of aliens. These busy figures were all ordinary people in the city.
Xun Liang came to Nangong Shou and Hong Niangzi, coughed slightly and said: "I just counted the war preparation supplies, and there are less than 10,000 arrows left. The people in the city are collecting the arrows shot into the city and giving them to the blacksmith for re-polishing.
, I can add some more! Rolling stones and logs are enough! It’s just..."
Seeing Nangong Shou turn around, Xun Liang sighed: "It's just that there are less than 500 arrows for the heavy crossbow, and there are less than 200 sets of chainmail. I'm afraid we won't be able to replenish these two items in a while!"
Nangong Shou nodded, then frowned and said: "The total number of casualties today is 423, of which 103 were killed in battle and 185 were seriously injured..."
Xun Liang smiled bitterly and said: "Less than one-fifth of the casualties are already very good! If the intensity of the alien siege is only this, we will not have a problem even if we persist until the first snow of the year!"
Nangong Shou asked in confusion: "There are nearly 30,000 foreign cavalry under the city. Based on today's casualties, how can we persist for such a long time?"
Xun Liang looked at the endless torches in the enemy camp in the distance and said: "They are also human beings. They will also be tired and sick. So as long as we resist for the first few days, the subsequent siege battles will not be so frequent! In addition,
Tens of thousands of people in the city are united with us, and Mayi County is not that easy to break! So the casualties in the first few days are the most tragic!"
The red lady interjected at this time: "When the casualties of Hanerda's 10,000 Eagle Division have exceeded half, Ashina will definitely start to attack the city with all his strength. Whether it can hold on depends on Ashina's reluctance to part with his 20,000 Tiger Division!
"
Nangong Shou frowned and said, "How effective is Tie Molle's Tiger Division?"
The red lady sighed: "If it were a field battle, Ashina only needed 3,000 men to defeat Halda's 10,000 Eagle Division, and 5,000 men could completely annihilate the 10,000 Eagle Division. This is how the army swept across the grassland Mobei."
Tie Molle's elite tiger division! That's why I said it depends on Ashina's willingness to part with his 20,000 tiger division. If he wants to capture Mayi City at all costs, Mayi City cannot be defended!"
After hearing Lady Hong's words, Nangong Shou and Xun's consciences sank. Their expressions became much more solemn, and they looked at the alien camp in the distance in silence...
But the red lady suddenly laughed and said: "Don't worry, Ashina will not use the 20,000 tiger troops in his hand to fight with Mayi City! If Mayi City is replaced by Daxing City, maybe Ashina will be willing to risk his life.
Because the 20,000 tiger troops are his capital to compete for the Great Khan in the future!"
Nangong Shou and Xun Liang breathed a sigh of relief.
Nangong Shou smiled and scolded: "Kanas, don't be so naughty!"
The red lady stuck out her tongue playfully, turned over and sat on the battlement, her long legs swaying, looking up at the stars in the sky and said with a smile: "As long as the Tiger Division attacks the city, we can show that we are with Mayi City."
If you fight him to the death with determination for life and death, Ashina will definitely give in!"
If the enemy is too cowardly to fight you to the death, it may not be because he is afraid of death, but there may be other reasons behind it, so don't underestimate any enemy, because a wrong assessment may very well lead to your defeat.
Showing weakness to the enemy and pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger can be seen not only on the battlefield, but also in the rivers and lakes. Li Taiping has suffered losses in this regard, so Li Taiping did not want to let the escaped marksman go.
Li Taiping, who was covered in blood, looked at the division letter and said, "I'll kill that sharpshooter. The division general can just return to the camp. You don't have to wait for me!"
As he spoke, Li Taiping mounted the captured alien war horse and chased Shi Zhe Gong, the sudden cavalryman, in the direction of his escape...
Shi Han wanted to dissuade him, but when he saw that Li Taiping was already riding away, he couldn't help but shook his head and ordered his men to gather up the horses and return to Taigu County.
Li Taiping always kills his enemies without leaving any trouble, let alone a marksman who can threaten him.
Under the night, one person and two riders, taking advantage of the moonlight and starlight, kept changing horses and chasing after them. Li Taiping kept chasing the traces left by Shi Zhegong's horse for dozens of miles, but suddenly he stopped in front of a forest.
Reiner your horse and stop.
Li Taiping turned over and dismounted, looking at the horse's hoof prints separated in front of the forest and frowning.
"One of the war horses continued to flee to the northeast, while the other turned and headed straight to the north! This guy is so clever that he knew there would be pursuers and even ran dozens of miles before setting up a suspicious formation here!"
Li Taiping secretly thought at the same time, carefully measuring the depth of the hoof prints left by the war horse, then he smiled slightly, got on his horse, and chased to the northeast...
Li Taiping chased for several miles, but suddenly stopped because he saw the discarded quiver. There were still more than a dozen feathered arrows in the quiver.
For those who practice swordsmanship, their swords are their life! For those who practice archery, their arrows are their life too! There is no difference between losing an arrow and losing your life. So why would a sharpshooter also lose his quiver? Li Taiping couldn't figure it out.
Li Taiping frowned and picked up the quiver, straddled his horse and continued to chase. He didn't chase very far before he stopped again. Because in front of him was a piece of leather armor, which was the leather armor used by Tiemo Le's scout cavalry. Li Taiping
Taiping can be so sure because he killed many foreign cavalry wearing leather armor today.
The loss of the quiver can also be explained as accidentally falling under the horse, but the leather armor had to be taken off before it was lost. Who would take off the leather armor and deliberately throw it by the roadside when escaping? This is very unreasonable, because even for the sake of
To reduce weight, discarding a piece of leather armor is unjustifiable.
When things go wrong, there must be monsters. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble. Li Taiping got on his horse but did not move. Instead, he concentrated on thinking, because the next choice will determine whether he will chase Shi Zhe, the sudden knight.
bow.
He deliberately dropped his quiver and leather armor to lure the pursuers. Obviously, there was either an ambush ahead, or the guy took off his quiver and leather armor in advance and tied them to the saddle, while he escaped on another horse.
.
No matter what the possibility is, if you continue to chase, you will run into someone else's circle. At that time, you will not be chasing but being chased.
Tu Qi Shi Zhe Gong, this time really set a trap for Ganren. If Li Taiping continues to pursue, he will run into a 2,000-man Leopard Division cavalry.
In order to clear the area around Jinyang, the Great Witch not only dispatched the Tiger Division's scout troops, but also deployed two thousand cavalry from each of the six Leopard Division troops. The Great Witch's purpose was simple. If the scout team accidentally chipped a tooth while chewing a bone, then
Let the Leopard Master pick up Ken, and make sure he is clean.
Li Taiping looked up at the sky and threw away the leather armor...
