Three Kingdoms: Shocked, my father-in-law is Cao Cao!
Chapter 71: Xia Houjie's Hope
"Victory!" "Glory!" "Revenge!"
Just like last time, the army set off on the journey neatly, but this time there were a few more elongated carts in the queue, and the carts were covered with thick sackcloth. Except for a few people, no one knew what was inside.
Linzi, the city that stood on this land before the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, even though it was relocated many times, razed to the ground many times, and trampled to dust, this ancient name that belongs to him has been handed down forever.
It seems to be telling the rise and fall of the honor and disgrace of the emperors and dynasties of the past dynasties, and how many lives he will witness today.
"Bowmen, string up!"
Looking at the menacing enemy army outside the city, a few big Cao characters were written on the military flag. Needless to say, this is Jiang Zhe and others who trekked all the way from Beihai.
When he first entered Qi County, the surrounding counties heard that Cao Jun was coming, and they surrendered in anticipation. Jiang Zhe simply ignored them and went straight to Linzi.
"put!"
The captain of the city waved the battle flag, and thousands of crossbows shot down the city like mad dogs. Many enemy troops fell on the way of charging before they even got close to the city wall.
"Keep shooting, suppress the enemy crossbowmen, don't be stingy with arrows."
After leaving such an order, the captain went to inspect the other city walls. After all, it is a common tactic to attack east and west, so we can't relax our vigilance.
About a quarter of an hour later, there was a sound of gongs and drums behind Jiang Zhe's army, which was a signal for Mingjin to withdraw.
The attacking party dropped hundreds of corpses and hastily retreated. It seemed that this wave was stable.
...
"That's great, Captain Wang deserves a big reward for defeating the enemy!"
In the Linzi County Mansion, Yuan Xi was excitedly pacing back and forth in the room when he learned that the enemy soldiers had retreated. Qingzhou lost all his troops in the field. He needed a victory to revive the army, and also needed to prove to his father that he was no worse than that idiot Yuan Tan .
"Young master, this is just a tentative attack by the enemy. It may be too early to claim victory at this time."
Although these words were contradictory, Yuan Xi didn't care, and said to Wang Xiaowei proudly: "Our army has reinforced Linzi City, even if the Cao bandits have thousands of troops, it will be difficult to break through. I'm afraid that before the siege of the city waits for us to starve, the Yuan flag has already been hung in Xuchang.
,Hahaha. "
Captain Wang and some counselors lamented secretly that their young master was indeed too young.
...
In the barracks outside the city, Xia Houjie was furious because of the failure of the siege. He threw the wine bottle heavily on the ground, and the wine splashed all over the officer beside him.
"You trash, cowards! Useless things, I have raised you for nothing, the enemy is so weak, why don't you hurry up and organize the next attack!"
This kind of reckless speech was immediately opposed by everyone present. Seeing this situation, Xia Houjie became more determined to rely on a victory to regain his prestige.
In this wave of opposition one after another, only Jiang Zhe stood obediently and said nothing, which gave Xia Houjie the illusion that this guy still respects him now.
"Ahem, Jiang Zhe, tell me what to do now?"
Jiang Zhe rolled his eyes, he knew that the opportunity had come, and he couldn't directly kill you this time, it was still on the biological level.
"General, General Yimo sees that the enemy's western wall is weakly defended. As long as he attracts an elite night attack, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy army, and the world will be sure!"
"Then who do you think is safest to send?" Xia Houjie looked a little excited.
"This general thinks that the most valiant generals should be sent there... People like Beizhi who dare not fight at night are really cowardly, so they are not afraid of the great general's ridicule."
This deliberate concession aroused Xia Houjie's desire even more, maybe this is the moment he has been waiting for?
"Since even Jiang Zhe is cowardly, there is nothing to say. The general will make arrangements for the selection of candidates, and we will talk about it tomorrow."
All the generals left the table, but no one noticed that there was a long-lost sinister smile on Jiang Zhe's face.
...
In the middle of the night, the infantry who had just rushed to repair the fortifications of the siege had fallen asleep drowsily.
Ergou, who has been promoted from a soldier to a corps leader, seems to have lost his luck in the past, and is still stationed in the fortifications with his Beihai soldiers to guard against enemy sneak attacks.
Maybe it was a little restless to stay in the fortification all the time, Ergou simply stepped out of the trench and walked back and forth nearby.
I heard from the officers that this thing called a "trench" must be dug under the order of the general, and that it can play a very good role in blocking the enemy's attack.
As for what "blocking" is, he doesn't know. There are many wooden signs behind the trench, which are used to block arrows, Ergou thought to himself.
I heard that tomorrow, if conditions permit, I will have to work overtime to build a heavy wooden wall. I don't know why it is so important to attack a city.
Ergou just wanted to break through the city quickly, and then try to get some benefits. When he was dreaming of a bright future, an army ran past his eyes.
This army was close to 2000 people, which really scared Ergou and the infantry, but if you look carefully, it should be an allied army, but the moon is dark and the wind is high tonight, so you can't see the flag clearly, so you just know that they are going straight to the west gate.
"General, the teams are already in place and waiting for your orders."
With a "slap", a pair of armored hands came into close contact with the face of the orderly.
"You idiot, don't keep your voice down, if the enemy finds our tracks, you'll be fine."
The unlucky messenger covered his face in pain, blood was already oozing from the corner of his mouth, he really didn't understand that the general's slap was much louder than his words.
But how dare he speak up?It is not impossible for the general to chop himself off in anger.
With an aggrieved face, he could only carefully retreat to the front line, for fear of provoking the general's anger again.
There was a dead silence, occasionally the muffled voices of pawns could be heard.
Finally, a dark cloud covered the last ray of light of the feeble moonlight. The moon is dark and the wind is high. This is a good time to kill people and steal goods, and attack cities and villages.
The general stood up immediately, drew out the long sword from his waist and pointed it at the sky, "Generals, break through Linzi City, grab money, food, and women! Go!"
Under the cover of the night, more than 1000 infantry rushed out of the night shouting.
The few small guard posts that Yuan Jun left outside the city were caught off guard by the sudden attack and were easily captured.
The general was delighted in his heart. According to this, he could not see that the city wall could be occupied in an hour.
"Everyone listen to this general, whoever becomes the first to die will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! Promoted to three ranks!"
Taking advantage of the sweetness of the current victory and the appropriate benefits of this fire, the soldiers rarely responded fiercely to this "big gift" general.
The big soldiers are promoted to the third rank, but they are only fifty chiefs, a small official with a sesame mung bean, but ten taels of silver must be taken seriously, and many of them may not be able to touch two taels in this life.
The desire in the pawn's heart was aroused, shouting like a better life in the future and rushing.
Corresponding to it are the little lights of fire on the city wall, and the sound of commotion.
"You idiot, why are you talking about a surprise attack after making such a big commotion?"
Zheng Yi, who brought the bow and arrow master Ding and Beihai's cronies, followed the general to the city at some point, but he didn't order his subordinates to cooperate with the attack, but stayed not far away to watch every move.
Just like last time, the army set off on the journey neatly, but this time there were a few more elongated carts in the queue, and the carts were covered with thick sackcloth. Except for a few people, no one knew what was inside.
