He Wuji had seen a lot of white cloth stained with blood, but he had never seen one with writing on it.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he took down the cloth and unfolded it completely, he immediately jumped up.
"What's happening here?"
"This is actually...actually..."
"News from the people in the city!"
"quick!"
"Ready your horse!"
"I'm going to meet up with the slaves!"
The soldier who reported the news looked puzzled. General He had just come down from the front line, why did he suddenly want to go back?
I kept going back and forth, but I really couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.
Only He Wuji, who was on horseback, knew that as long as this letter was delivered to the slave, the situation on the battlefield might change immediately...
On the other side, at the south gate of Yecheng, the team led by Wang Shilang was also approaching rapidly.
"Zhiyuan, let's rush there now. The Qin soldiers must have been prepared. Do they want to change their strategy?" While running wildly, He Mai's little head did not stop turning for a moment. Since the Qin soldiers had already thought of coming to Fugu to lay an ambush, it was obvious that they had expected that the Jin army was likely to find a breakthrough through the weak point of the south gate.
Now, the Qin soldiers who delivered the message will definitely return to the city before them, and the defenders in the city will definitely be prepared.
Couldn’t the Jin army take advantage of the so-called surprise tactics?
Unlike the worried He Mai, Wang Mi seemed extremely excited at this moment and was not affected by the bad news at all.
He said with emotion: "Everything has its own destiny, and victory or defeat is not determined by human power. Why should you worry unfoundedly, Amai?"
"It's enough to just believe that victory will belong to us in the end."
The confidence is indeed high, but whether the situation can develop as Wang Mi said is a matter of discussion.
At least, He Mai couldn't completely believe it at this moment.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Wang Mi knew what he was thinking.
He Mai has always been a talkative person. When he is in a good mood, he always looks for something to say when he has nothing to say. Now he asks questions by himself but doesn't answer for a long time. There can only be one possibility: he does not support Wang Mi's idea.
"Amai, you can think about the whole thing from the other side."
"Since Niu Zan and the others knew they were going to lay an ambush in Fugu, it means that even the Qin soldiers felt that the defense at the south gate was problematic and a weak point."
"In other words, even if the defense of the south gate is strengthened, it may not be enough to withstand the Jin army's attack. That's why this group of Qin soldiers took the risk and divided their troops out of the city to ambush."
"Doesn't this just mean that we made the right choice by choosing South City Gate as the breakthrough point?"
As soon as Wang Mi spoke, He Mai suddenly felt his head buzzing!
A sudden enlightenment!
yes!
Why did the Qin soldiers go out of the city to ambush?
Isn’t it because the defense force at South Gate is weak?
Wouldn't it be a good idea to keep the soldiers who were fighting the ambush to strengthen the defense of the south city gate?
Why sacrifice the near for the far?
It seems that as soon as the army arrives, Nancheng will march down!
And what is the real situation here at South Gate?
There is no need to carefully consider the defensive strategy of the Qin soldiers, just look at the confused state of those Qin soldiers who were hastily deployed.
Yecheng is indeed an ancient capital. More than a hundred years ago, it became the capital of Cao Wei due to its important geographical location.
At that time, with the majestic Bronze Bird Tower and the magnificent palace, everyone in the Middle Earth knew the magnificence of Ye City.
However, more than a hundred years later, nothing seems to have changed, but it is always changing.
Yecheng, under the control of Di Qin, has long lost its former grandeur. Many palaces are dilapidated and the streets are unplanned.
Even the once impregnable city wall has suffered a lot of damage.
Especially the south city gate was more seriously damaged, and the previous occupiers also made some major improvements to Ye City.
This makes the external structure of Yecheng appear more chaotic, which is not obvious at the north gate of Yecheng's facade.
But when we get to the South City Gate, the situation is not optimistic.
The turret built in the front is still standing there, but the outer wall has been severely weathered and peeled off, and from a distance, it looks quite shaky.
The south city wall is close to Fu Valley, and further down Fu Valley, there is a forest and pasture. You can easily get here by passing through the south city gate.
In the past, all the generals stationed in Yecheng were all serious and rough men. It would be difficult for others to force them to write and write.
Their hobbies are just wielding swords and guns. When there is no war, the itchy generals have to think of something on their own.
One of the great channels for consuming a strong spirit is to go hunting out of the city. There is no general who doesn't like hunting.
It should be said that generals who are good at fighting are all masters of hunting.
Killing people on the battlefield and shooting animals in the jungle are roughly the same principle.
In order to facilitate hunting, when Di Qin entered Yecheng, he found that the corner of the south gate leading to the hunting grounds was very low.
It is convenient for the generals to lead their large armies out of the city.
When the Qin soldiers discovered this loophole, they were not in a hurry to repair it, but continued to let it go, even cutting off a part of the city wall near the south wall, and connecting it with the previous damaged part.
Of course, such laissez-faire was entirely dependent on the situation being stable and Di Qin's control being impregnable. But now, suddenly one day, the powerful dynasty collapsed instantly. This was obviously not what Qin Bing had expected.
The Xianbei people and the Jin people arrived one after another, which was even more unexpected by the Qin soldiers.
When the war heats up, there is no time left to repair the city wall!
This is why, rather than risking his life, Niu Zan took his troops out of the city to ambush the Jin army.
Once the Jin army that came around can be repulsed, more time will be gained to repair the city wall. But now, since the ambush has not been successful, the so-called time will naturally be unavailable.
The soldiers temporarily dispatched to the south gate were all defeated at the north gate, and their morale was already low.
When we arrived at the South City Gate, we had no fighting spirit at all.
Not to mention, there are many laggards among them.
Aren’t the Qin soldiers’ per capita combat capabilities extraordinary?
Why are there still people holding us back?
Of course!
Don't forget, among the soldiers temporarily assigned to guard the South City Gate, there are still many who are not even serious soldiers!
Those brave men who were temporarily recruited from the city did not want to follow the Qin soldiers. Originally, they had some scruples at the North Gate.
At least, Zhang Hao is still very scary.
When we arrived at the South City Gate, we were freed from Zhang Hao's control. Isn't it wonderful?
It is necessary to be lazy and slippery, but after all, these people are considered a minority among the Qin soldiers.
After all, the overwhelming majority of the Qin soldiers were still Di people.
As long as the Di people are diligent, the Jin people will not be able to make too big a splash.
Unfortunately, the problem really lies with Di Ren.
Since Zhang Hao could be transferred to the south city gate, although Zhang Hao did not say it clearly, his intention was still obvious.
You have been abandoned!
Obviously, these soldiers who were assigned to the South City Gate were not favored by Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao believed that these soldiers were originally reserves and substitutes, and were not considered elites.
In this case, you, Zhang Hao, look down on your brothers. Could it be that your brothers will work hard just because they are suddenly being reused?
Of course it’s impossible!
The Qin soldiers at the south city gate not only did not work hard, but also took advantage of the opportunity of being unattended to act arrogantly.
The weapons assigned to the brave men in the city are all of the worst quality.
The arrowheads of many arrow clusters are bent, and they are all used, not new!
Under such circumstances, who would be willing to guard with all their heart?
Of course not necessary!
The Qin soldiers did not have that strength, but what about the Jin people?
But he didn't even have that intention.
In such a sparse situation, what they were about to face was a long-distance attack by Beifu soldiers with the strongest firepower and superior combat effectiveness.
"No matter what, we still have to shoot a few arrows at the city just to show off."
The leader of this group of Qin soldiers was just a small team leader. If it weren't for the fact that there were no useful generals in the city, it would not be his turn to take charge of such a major event.
This person's surname is Li and his given name is Dalian. Although he is also the team leader, he is the leader of this team and not the other team leader. Li Dalian and Niu Zan have completely different styles.
Niu Zan was capable and devoted himself to defeating Qin, regardless of his personal safety, but unfortunately died. But what about Li Dalian?
He has neither the ability nor the intention to give up his life in order to defend Yecheng, so that's pretty much it.
This is what Li Dalian really thinks.
"Look, is there anyone outside?"
"What arrows to shoot? What a waste!"
"Save it!"
Li Dalian spoke, and the archers who were still eager to try could only give up in frustration.
Li Dalian was very pleased to see that the soldiers were all obedient.
That's right. Anyway, within the Qin army, he, Old Li, is not a popular person. Now that the Jin army is in danger of attacking the city, that old man Zhang pulls him out and wants him to support him. Isn't it a dream?
?
If something good happened, would Zhang Hao still think of him?
Naturally, it was to make him take the blame. In fact, due to a careless operation, he, Old Li, was the first to be left here.
Li Dalian absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing happening. He is waiting for the opportunity...
"coming!"
"Report to the leader, the Jin army was discovered in the northeast!"
"You're really here?"
"This group of Jin troops are indeed not just ordinary people, they are powerful!"
The long knife stabbed the ground, and with the force, Li Dalian jumped up. Next, he also ran to the corner tower to check the situation.
Using the turret, which was much more protruding than the city wall and had a wider view, Li Dalian finally captured the traces of the Jin army.
OK!
I didn't expect that Niu Zan would be such a waste. I knew he was unreliable a long time ago, but I didn't expect that he would be so useless.
Thinking of Zhang Hao's many compliments to Niu Zan before, Li Dalian laughed secretly. He should really be shown the miserable appearance of that kid.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow quickly!"
The soldiers who were ordered not to fire arrows just now were now urged to fire arrows. The completely contradictory instructions put the soldiers into a situation where they were at a loss as to what to do.
Many people have raised questions: "Don't you mean not to shoot arrows, but to use them sparingly?"
Li Dalian has a face as thick as a city wall, so he doesn't care.
He just said shamelessly: "So what?"
"Just now, now is now!"
"Why don't you shoot the arrow quickly?"
"Don't you think you can disobey me?"
Li Dalian shouted with red eyes, how could the soldiers dare to disobey the order? They immediately followed his request and hurriedly fired as many arrows as they wanted.
It didn't even matter where the enemy troops came from.
How could these soldiers understand Captain Li's profound intentions?
Even if it's just a show, you have to be careful and just surrender. That's not Captain Li's style. Fighting and talking can be considered.
This is what Captain Li expected. If you don't have any chips in your hand and don't let the enemy see how powerful you are, how can you give yourself a future?
Speaking of which, I have to thank the old general Zhang Hao.
Although Lao Zhang is Lao Li's mortal enemy, he has suppressed him for many years and made it difficult for him to gain a foothold in the army. However, at the critical moment, the old man still thought of him and gave him the arduous task of guarding the South City Gate.
Doesn't this clearly give him a chance?
Allowing him to bargain with the Jin army.
Of course, Li Dalian couldn't live up to the old general's kindness and made full use of it.
To the northeast of the south city tower, the Jin army rushing from Fugu had been prepared for such a situation.
Even if Li Dalian's people don't come, the defenders on Nancheng will always respond.
If there are few people, then they are not considered human beings?
Of course it’s impossible!
only……
The actual situation is also very different from what Wang Mi originally imagined.
"This offensive is too weak. Is there really anyone here in Nancheng?"
He originally wanted to say if there were any living people, but then he thought it was a bit excessive. If there were no living people, where did these arrow clusters come from?
It can't be shot out by monsters and monsters.
Wouldn't that be more terrifying!
"why would you say so?"
He Mai chased after him, but he didn't know where he was going.
The two of them can be regarded as the commanders of an army. Although they are now in a loss and have no intention of retreating, they will not rush to the front. Even if they want to, the soldiers will not agree.
Therefore, they were surrounded by two large armies at the front and rear, and marched steadily in the middle of the team, which was quite safe.
Di Qin's bows and arrows could not reach them at all.
Wang Mi smiled and said: "I did have a feeling that Nancheng's defense would be relatively empty and there would be many flaws, but I didn't expect that their offensive would be so weak."
"This really shouldn't be the case."
"Do they want to surrender?" He Mai thought for a moment and made a bold assumption, but Wang Mi immediately rejected it.
"How can this be!"
"If you want to surrender, why bother holding on in Beicheng?"
"Wouldn't it be better to just open the city gate?"
"That's right." He Mai murmured.
At this time, they had no time to think deeply. The army was getting closer and closer to the South City Gate.
Even the turrets on the city are faintly visible.
You can even count the number of Qin soldiers standing on the turret.
Da da da……
Da da da……
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance. Wang Mi took a closer look and immediately ordered the soldiers in front to make way for a passage.
The horse, carrying his master, quickly found the entrance to the army's column and ran in the opposite direction.
It was the soldiers Wang Mi sent out to investigate the situation.
