It should be said that Zhang Hao's choice was very correct, because the situation changed too quickly. Although the Jin army successfully occupied Nancheng, their preparations were still very inadequate.
Many things have not yet been taken care of. For example, the task of strictly guarding the city gate is still not done well.
As for the people, of course they have been arranged. He Mai is still a careful person. Although time is very tight, he has reserved more than a hundred soldiers for the south city gate.
However, so far, this is all he can do. There are still many measures to defend the city that He Mai has not yet had time to implement.
For example, where did the door bolt that sealed the door go? This matter is enough for the Jin army brothers to have a headache.
You know, if you want to resist the enemy's attack on the city gate, this gate bolt is indispensable!
With the help of the door bolt and the soldiers guarding the city gate, the cooperation between the two sides can delay it for a little longer.
Of course, it's just delaying time.
If we want to resolve this crisis, it is absolutely not enough to rely on the defenders in the city to hold the city gate.
This is just a normal situation, and what the Jin army is facing now is certainly not a normal situation. The Qin soldiers outside the city who want to open the city gate have not changed in strength and are still very strong.
However, looking at the Jin army's side, the situation is really not very good.
First of all, the matter of opening the city gate was originally done by the Qin army leader Li Dalian and his Qin soldiers. After they opened the city gate, it was obvious that the door bolt was useless and was thrown aside casually.
It is basically impossible to expect the Jin army that has just entered the city to find the door bolt. Not only that, in fact, this matter is not difficult to solve.
Just go to whoever did this.
Where is Li Dalian?
All you have to do is ask this diligent soldier.
The question is, can you find Li Dalian now?
When it was discovered that the Qin troops had gathered again and began to attack the city, the Jin troops in the city responded quickly and began to deploy measures to defend the city.
However, when they discovered that the door bolt for the top door was missing, they suddenly panicked. Soon someone thought of going to Li Dalian to ask what happened. However, soon, the Jin army made another shocking discovery.
.
Captain Li Dalian is not in Qin Bing’s camp now!
No!
Among the few Qin soldiers left near the Wengcheng, there was really no trace of the leader Li Dalian, and most of the Qin soldiers who had not had time to retreat were not the confidants who followed Li Dalian to open the city gate.
No one knew the whereabouts of the door bolt.
This was simply unbelievable. It was so amazing that the Jin army had some doubts as to whether Li Dalian did this on purpose, or whether this guy was pretending to surrender and was really digging a hole for the Jin army.
As for Captain Li Dalian, he is of course safe and sound now, and is rushing out of the city following the Jin army.
Although the soldiers on both sides were not far apart, there was a subtle time difference. While the Jin soldiers here were looking for the door bolt, Wang Mi had already rushed out of Nancheng with his troops and horses.
By the time the brothers came to their senses and tried to look for Li Dalian, they couldn't even see him!
winter!
winter!
winter!
The loud sound seemed to penetrate the eardrums.
That was the sound of Qin soldiers carrying hardwood and banging on the door desperately!
It seems like an invitation from the devil to bring all the brothers into the underworld!
Some soldiers took the initiative to lie on the city gate and blocked the Qin soldiers' offensive with their flesh and blood. However, they were still too weak after all, and they soon became weak and overwhelmed.
Wave after wave of soldiers pushed forward, but it was difficult to hold on for too long.
what to do?
Could the city gate we just captured be lost so easily?
The brothers are unwilling to give in. They hope that a solution will appear immediately. They hope that an army will descend from the sky to help them get out of their predicament!
Their teeth were so tight that they were holding on to the city gate with their hands, and their fingernails were almost digging in. The brothers worked hard and vowed not to let the Qin soldiers succeed!
"Brothers, hold on a little longer!"
"There will definitely be reinforcements. The reinforcements will arrive soon!"
"hold onto!"
The current wave of Jin troops operating in Yecheng are all of very good quality and are completely among the elite of the Jin army.
So, even though the situation was very unfavorable to them, they did not give up easily, but continued to persevere.
Although they do not know the principle that man can conquer nature, they also know that as warriors, as long as they still have breath, they must stand firm.
This is the only thing they can do!
This is what they must do!
However, will there really be reinforcements?
They won't be given up!
Although the soldiers didn't say anything, they still had such thoughts in their hearts unconsciously.
At a critical moment of life and death, these things seem to be difficult to avoid.
The sound of Qin Bing banging on the door is still lingering in my ears, and every time it hits, it seems to hit the hearts of the brothers!
"quick!"
"ignition!"
"Set off the fire!"
I don't know how long I persisted, but a familiar voice suddenly appeared in my ears, and the content expressed by that voice was so clear.
Shoot off?
Is it the Jin army?
They really came to our rescue!
The moment they heard that voice, the brothers' eyes lit up instantly!
Where there is artillery, there is hope!
withstand!
You must withstand it!
Brothers work together to pass this last hurdle!
Outside the city, the Jin army comrades would not disappoint them. The artillery was indeed coming, but it was not just the artillery that came.
Why did heavy weapons like artillery suddenly appear again on the battlefield of Yecheng, which had just been in depression?
There is no other reason than that Wang Shilang, who has a large number of artillery, arrived with his troops!
That’s right!
It’s Shilang Wang, you read that right!
The man on horseback who lit the cannon and was bending his bow to shoot arrows was none other than Wang Shilang himself!
Wang Shilang finally broke out of this dilapidated southern city wall!
Facts have proved that as long as the tactics are appropriate, nothing can defeat him.
Wang Mi finally rushed out of the city with his troops and horses. When he saw the current formation downstairs in Nancheng, he was immediately shocked.
Although he thought that Zhang Hao's troops should have arrived, he did not expect that the old man's attack would be so fierce as soon as he came up.
Some of the Jin troops stationed at the South City Tower have been beaten to pieces by him!
The remaining brothers who are still in the city are just struggling to hold on, and they can no longer mobilize their troops to provide any support outside the city.
Wang Mi shouted and rushed forward without saying a word.
Why are you wasting your time?
Just say hello with various weapons!
Arriving early is worse than arriving by chance. You see, He Mai was obviously the first to rush into Yecheng, but in the end, it was our Wang Shilang who fought against the last general in Yecheng.
Although Wang Shilang is not very willing to encounter such a thing, he is not afraid of trouble as long as something happens.
This time he rushed a little more hastily, and no trace of Zhang Hao was caught among the chaotic army.
"Zeng Jing, help me look for it quickly. Where is Zhang Hao?"
"I must take care of this old boy myself!"
I haven’t seen what Zhang Hao looks like yet, but he sounds pretty loud.
No wonder Wang Shilang had such a strong tone. He was indeed powerful. With just this row of artillery thrown out, the pressure on the Jin army in the city was immediately relieved.
The speed was beyond everyone's imagination.
Qin Bing, who had been charging hard just now and carrying a large piece of wood to hit the door, now picked up the piece of wood and hit himself in the foot.
The artillery attack immediately caused a cloud of smoke and dust, and there were flames all around. The screams of people and horses suddenly started to sound.
The big log weighing a thousand kilograms could not be carried, but it naturally fell down, and several soldiers were injured by this big log.
They were pinned down alive. Others had not attacked them, and the Jin army's artillery had not taken care of them. They simply died in the hands of their own weapons.
This is truly an unpredictable turn of events.
Such a thing could happen!
This is really a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple.
As the most loyal follower of Wang Shilang, Zeng Jing's role was fully reflected at this time.
Although there are many enemies in front of him, Wang Shilang obviously has only one target, and that is the enemy general Zhang Hao hidden in the crowd!
Can Shilang Wang defeat Zhang Hao?
Obviously, he himself was very confident, but Zeng Jing was still sweating.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. I'll let my subordinates look for you later."
A small group of war horses carefully advanced forward in the chaotic formation. During this period, Zeng Jing's eyes darted back and forth.
Just to find Zhang Hao as soon as possible.
Only by finding him can we achieve a quick victory!
Shilang Wang would not have imagined what kind of thoughts were running through Zeng Jing's mind right now.
People are eager to end this battle as soon as possible, the sooner the better!
Everything is in vain, the only way is to get Wang Shilang out of the front line as soon as possible. Wang Shilang is young and passionate, and his enthusiasm for fighting is very high.
However, as the commander-in-chief of an army, especially Wang Mi, who although he had the title of general, was actually a civil servant in the court, when he was sweating and blood-stained on the battlefield, Zeng Jing still felt that he was accompanying him.
Very nervous.
It won't work if we don't let him fight, and it won't work if we are trapped on the battlefield like this. What if, if one of those blind steel swords or arrows really gets lost, one of those blind people will hit our Wang Shilang?
That would be very bad.
Zeng Jing has always been a person who knows how to do things. On the one hand, this is of course for the personal safety of Wang Shilang and it is completely sincere.
On the other hand, obviously, it is also for my own sake.
As Wang Mi's closest bodyguard, not only in the Beifu soldiers, but also in the distant Jiankang City, everyone associated Wang Mi's safety with Zeng Jing.
If Wang Mi really made any mistakes on the battlefield, there is reason to believe that Zeng Jing, as a personal bodyguard, would not suffer any good consequences.
Although Zeng Jing could not figure out how to deal with it specifically, it was true that it would not end well.
Therefore, since following Wang Mi to the battlefield of Yecheng, Captain Zeng's mission has changed from killing the enemy bravely, and the more he kills, the better, to the enemy. Don't get close to me. If you get close to me, you will get close to Wang Shilang. I will kill you.
No negotiation!
Wang Mi's request was very reasonable. Didn't he just want to kill Zhang Hao with his own hands?
Even if he himself lacks martial arts skills, isn't it possible that Zeng Jing is still there? Can two of them defeat him alone?
As long as Wang Shilang's wish can be fulfilled, he will obediently follow Zeng Jing and retreat to the second line, returning to the military tent to rest.
However, as Zeng Jing himself said, it wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he really didn't know Zhang Hao. It was not that easy to quickly find the right person.
Captain Zeng was seen stretching his neck in the crowd, looking everywhere, and every head dangled in front of his eyes.
Which?
Which one is it?
Zeng Jing was so anxious that he almost had four eyes growing on his face.
If he could really have that kind of magical power, he really hoped he could have so many smart eyes.
As long as he can find Zhang Hao as soon as possible, it doesn't matter anything.
"However, Minister, I really don't know Zhang Hao. I'm afraid it will take some time."
Although Wang Shilang was a good talker, Zeng Jing also had to explain his difficulties clearly.
Wang Mi waved his hand and didn't mind.
The two have been fighting side by side for a long time. Although they are on the same level in name, in reality, they are brothers.
Wang Mi himself was not idle here, firing his gun while searching for prey.
Ever since the Jin army with artillery appeared on the battlefield, the situation on the south side of the city tower changed instantly.
The Qin soldiers, who were so powerful just now, retreated continuously and actively looked for bunkers. However, in fact, they were trapped outside the city and there were not many obstacles around them that could protect them.
However, the addition of Wang Mi only balanced the battle. The Jin army's weapons were indeed much more advanced, but due to their limited number, they were still unable to fully suppress the Qin army.
The two armies just continued to enter a stalemate.
Therefore, Wang Shilang no longer used those traditional cold weapons, but instead used his free time to fire off guns and cannons.
As long as the enemy is eliminated at a distance, the danger around Wang Shilang will be eliminated.
"You want to find Zhang Hao, why don't you ask me?"
Huh?
What is this sound?
It seems a bit familiar, but not particularly familiar.
Wang Mi and Zeng Jing turned around at the same time, and then they realized that Li Dalian was behind them, following closely.
The eyes of the two people instantly became meaningful.
No matter what kind of look he looks at, he can quickly dissipate it when it comes to Captain Li.
I saw him laughing loudly and said loudly: "What?"
"You two have forgotten that I came from Qin Bing. I am the most familiar with Zhang Hao."
"yes!"
"You know Zhang Hao, why didn't I think of it!" Wang Mi exclaimed, this kind of thing really shouldn't happen.
Friendly troops were right in front of him, yet he actually chose the distance instead of the near.
Zeng Jing stepped forward and said with some dissatisfaction: "Since you know me, why didn't you tell me just now?"
This must be an unjust accusation. Li Dalian looked aggrieved: "You just spoke so quietly and didn't even want me to hear you. How could I know in advance?"
"Besides, it's not too late to know now. Haven't you found the person yet?"
This man actually still seems to be speaking plausibly, which is really irritating.
However, people under the eaves have to bow their heads.
Even a mighty warrior like Zeng Jing could only lower his head high, lower his voice, and ask for advice cautiously. Eh!
This is right, it should have been like this a long time ago.
