Chapter 66 Defending the City (Part 2) Chapter 66 Defending the City (Part 2)
When Su Yusheng arrived in Wancheng, he knew that Siweng City had been occupied by Su Lei's troops. Naturally, he also knew about Yang Jiye's betrayal. At that time, he was so angry that he wanted to kill the entire Yang family immediately and make the men slaves and the women maids.
Unfortunately, he was in Wancheng and the order could not be carried out immediately. However, he still insisted on sending a messenger and used a 800-mile horse to carry the news to Qicheng.
"I want to see if his Yang family has been confiscated. Who else dares to surrender to the enemy again!" Su Yusheng roared fiercely with red eyes, anger growing.
The counselor in the hall moved his mouth but made no sound.
Su Yusheng roared again: "Su Chen is a treacherous child! He must have done this trick of Su Lei running away from home. Otherwise, why did Su Lei suddenly appear in Jialuangou with an army without any news? Shou
What do those detectives from the army do for a living! This army has clearly set up camp and been buried under their noses a long time ago! They didn’t even notice it at all! When I kill Su Lei, I’ll go back and rule the crime!"
One of the counselors said: "General, this is inappropriate. We decide to execute the defenders before the battle begins. I'm afraid the army will be unstable."
Su Yusheng scolded: "They are justified in neglecting their duties! If they were not too incompetent and did not notice it, how could Su Lei rob so many cities of military supplies? Siweng City was fully stocked with food and grass, and he did not care if he defended it for a year or two. This battle
It's so difficult to fight, it's all because of these guys! And that little Yang Jiye! I'm so angry! How dare you let people in. How dare you betray the city lord's mansion! How audacious!"
The counselor wanted to say more, but the other counselor used his elbow to help his companion. The two exchanged glances and then stopped talking. Su Yusheng scolded him happily for a while, and then he felt more comfortable and asked:
"Where's Chu Si? Why haven't you come back yet?"
There was another person who was here before, quartermaster Chu Si. This person is Su Yusheng's brother-in-law. He went outside and ordered the horse to rush to report to Qicheng. Yang Jiye of Siweng City rebelled and defected to the enemy. Wangcheng Lord
The government severely punished the Yang family as a sign of punishment.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Si hurried in: "Brother-in-law, I have done everything. The letter will be delivered in five days. The Yang family is waiting to be finished."
One of the counselors curled his lips and hummed in his mind: He pinched it so accurately that he might have been listening outside the door for a long time, knowing that he was cursing someone, so he hid and refused to come in.
"Okay!" Su Yusheng's suffocation suddenly subsided, "Give me the order and prepare the army. We will go to Siweng City early tomorrow morning."
Chu Si smiled slightly: "Brother-in-law personally leads the troops, Siweng City will definitely be captured. Xiao Si would like to congratulate brother-in-law on his victory."
Su Yusheng laughed heartily and said with great ambition: "When Si Weng City is captured, I will definitely kill Yang Jiye and make Su Lei kneel at my feet and beg for mercy, so that the hatred in my heart can be relieved."
Su Yusheng did what he said. One day later, 40,000 troops came outside Siweng City and shouted: "Su Lei! Do you dare to come out and fight!"
Su Lei stood on the tower, looked down and sneered: "This Su Yusheng, if you are stupid, just think that everyone is as stupid as him." The opponent has an army of 40,000, and his own side can only send out 15,000 people out of the city to fight. He then
No matter how brave you are, there is no need to attack a stone with an egg. If you cannot defend the high city and the depth of the pond, you must use your strengths and abandon your weaknesses and go out to be a foolish and courageous hero.
When Su Yusheng saw that he didn't come out, he arranged for someone to start scolding him.
Yin Ruxing stood behind Su Lei with her eyes wide open. Compared with the previous post-war treatment, this was the first time she faced the first scene of war in the cold weapon era. Many things were very novel. For example, the current scolding formation was.
A hundred strong soldiers lined up in a phalanx, standing outside the range of bows and arrows. At the front were seven or eight leading figures. One of them shouted something, and the hundreds of phalanx soldiers behind him joined in.
Luck, then shouted in unison: "Sule Su Lei, you are a coward!"
Then, another person said something. The hundreds of scolding soldiers shouted in unison: "Old man Yang Jiye! You have no guts and no guts!"
"Pfft -" Yin Ruxing almost choked on her saliva. What, what is this? Swearing?
That's right, it's swearing. The phalanx outside the city yelled out swearing words in an endless stream, one-third of which involved the incompetence of certain male organs, one-third of which involved parents and ancestors, and one-third of which involved character insults.
One-third. The horizontal coverage starts from Su Lei, to Yun Xufei, Yang Jiye, including all the soldiers whose names are omitted, everyone has a share.
The more the other party scolded, the worse they got. Both the female elders and the male elders were greeted with greetings. Everyone on the top of the city looked ugly. (·~)
Yin Ruxing listened with great interest. Maybe it was because of the different times. She didn't have much empathy. She was also surprised to find that because Su Lei and Su Yusheng were from the same clan, the scolded words only involved himself and his brother and sister-in-law. His parents and grandparents were spared.
Yu Nan is much better than Yang Jiye, Yun Xufei and others. However, it is also true that when he scolds him, it mostly involves male abilities. Su Chen was also shot when he was not around, and he was scolded a lot of times.
to others.
It's a pity that the thinking of these men, these ancient men, is completely opposite to hers. Everyone's face is livid, and they wish they could rush out and have a fight to shut up those people.
Even Su Lei, who seemed to have a calm expression, Yin Ruxing, based on his understanding of him, could tell that this man was already furious. For example, the veins above his temples were bulging slightly, and the veins on his sides were...
The two hands were clenched tightly, and you could almost hear the joints "clicking".
Su Lei suddenly stretched out an arm and calmly said two words: "Bow and arrow."
The soldier next to him handed over a composite long-horned bow. Yin Ruxing had been in the army for a while and had some discernment. He knew that at the same shooting range, longbows were larger in size but less labor-intensive. Compound-horned bows were shorter and smaller.
However, the force used is very strong. If the compound angle bow is made into the same size as a long bow, the force required to pull it open will be very large. But at the same time, the range of such a bow is also very far. The one in Su Lei's hand
The compound horn bow is a special one at first glance. It is longer than an ordinary longbow. This bow cannot be pulled open by ordinary people. But once it is opened, its range...
Yin Ruxing visually inspected the phalanx outside the city. Very good, she could use her aunt to guarantee that it must be within the range of this bow.
Su Lei's eyes were cold and cold, and the black feathered arrow was placed on the bow. The string was fully stretched, and the whole bow was stretched tightly. Then, a very soft "whoosh" floated past his ears, and the arrow on the bow had disappeared.
Yin Ruxing immediately turned his eyes. In the phalanx outside the city, the most active person shouting at the front had fallen down. There was an arrow stuck in his throat, and his tail feathers were trembling slightly.
The scolding team was silent for a second, and then chaos broke out and shouts broke out.
What speed is this? Yin Ruxing was shocked. Before she could calculate, there was another slight "whoosh" in her ears.
This time she saw the black-feathered arrow clearly, dragging a long tail in her sight and shooting towards the crowd. That tail was caused by the visual error caused by the object moving faster than the time it stayed on the retina.
.
The hundred-man scolding formation became even more chaotic. This time, a person in the middle of the team was hit by an arrow. Yin Ruxing's improved vision judged that the injury this time was still in the throat.
She immediately turned her gaze and looked at Su Lei. The third arrow was barely able to leave the string. Su Lei pursed his lips and pulled out the fourth arrow to fully draw the bow.
The fifth, sixth, seventh... the black-feathered arrows were shot one after another. The density of the formation of hundreds of people made each arrow take away one of the opponent's lives. Yin Ruxing held his breath and blinked.
Without blinking, he stared at Su Lei's hands, eyes, lips, straight back, silver armor, black shirt, solid legs, and even the boots on the blue bricks. At this time, Su Lei was more powerful than anyone else.
It was touching and dazzling her at the same time.
At this moment, she suddenly felt an urge to possess this man completely.
Su Lei shot ten arrows. The eleventh arrow was placed on the string and the bow was fully drawn. He stood quietly at the top of the city and looked at the chaotic phalanx of a hundred people.
The soldiers in the phalanx had weak legs and looked at the figures on the tower in the distance with fear, as if they were looking at the God of Death.
"Let's withdraw..." A soldier swallowed his saliva and said with a shake.
"Shit!" Another voice also trembled, "Who dares to withdraw without a military order? If we go back to military law and deal with it, we will not die."
"But, we are within the range of that arrow..." Another voice sounded crying, "I don't want to die..."
At this moment, a cold light flashed across the city. "Ah——" Just halfway through the frightened cry from the front, a "pop" sound, very light and very loud, appeared. It was a fine iron arrow penetrating the flesh.
The sound of bones. The soldier who just said he didn't want to die opened his eyes in fear, and fell down holding the black-feathered arrow on his chest.
"Here we go again—!" The phalanx soldiers shouted wildly, covering their heads and lying on the ground. Black-feathered arrows began to shoot over again, taking away their lives one after another.
"Get down! Get down quickly!" Someone shouted in confusion. Those who heard it immediately woke up. Yes, with such people, lying down is always a smaller target than standing up.
After a few more arrows, a shocking scene appeared. Hundreds of people yelled at the phalanx soldiers, and they all fell to the ground. They wished they could bury their whole bodies in the soil. A few clever ones even quietly covered the dead bodies.
onto the back.
On the city tower, Sulei drew his bowstring fully, and the fine iron arrows shone with cold light. He quietly watched the group of people lying on the ground in various shapes.
The gong sound of "Dang Dang Dang" finally came, and Ming Jin retreated his troops. The order to retreat came.
"Quickly retreat!" The soldiers who heard the gong got up and ran back in a swarm, wishing they had four legs. They ran cleanly in a short time.
Violent cheers erupted from the city tower, deafening. The soldiers shouted in unison: "The general's magical power! The general's magical skills!" Yang Jiye beamed with joy, and Yun Xufei took a long breath and cursed fiercely: "Damn it! How dare you do it next time!
If you come here to curse people again, I will kill as many as you come!"
"That's it, that's it!" Yang Jiye was full of praise, "This scolding formation is a rogue trick of the soldiers. I ended up falling behind when I was scolding them. The second man is still brave, and he can defeat ten tricks with one force. Today I am an eye-opener.
Already."
Su Lei loosened the string and calmly put the arrow back into the quiver. He handed the bow back to the soldiers. He said coldly: "We won't come again today. We must be especially vigilant at night to guard against their sneak attacks."
Yun Xufei immediately said: "Okay, leave the city gate to me. I will keep an eye on them from the observation deck."
Yang Jiye also said: "I will go to the city to patrol and arrange the manpower for the night watch tonight."
Su Lei nodded: "I'll leave it to you." He turned and walked down the tower. Yin Ruxing immediately followed closely.
Su Lei's steps were fast, and his face turned a little pale. He walked all the way to the temporary mansion, walked straight into the room, and said to the soldiers: "Stand guard outside, do whatever you have to do." He closed the door.
As soon as the door closed, Yin Ruxing immediately asked: "How do you feel?" Pulling the bow took too much physical strength. She calculated that Su Lei shot a total of sixteen arrows. The most terrible thing was that the arrows continued in the middle.
Keep the bow fully drawn twice. This is the most draining of physical energy and energy.
Su Lei's aura relaxed, his whole face turned gray, and his voice became hoarse: "You help me guard, I need to adjust my breathing, don't let anyone disturb me." After saying that, he crossed his legs and did it.
