Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

This group of Jiaozhou soldiers did not stay in Yeqing Village, and left soon.

After they left, the villagers looked at the trampled ridges, trampled seedlings, and a messy vegetable field, and couldn't help but curse. These Jiaozhou people who killed thousands of knives did nothing good when they came. I hope the Yazhou army will take them away. They were so beaten that they cried for their fathers and mothers.

As soon as the Jiaozhou Navy landed, the news quickly spread to Yazhou City.

Pei Lin ordered the Yazhou soldiers who were in ambush outside to stand still and consume the Jiaozhou soldiers for a few days, waiting for Min Chong's news before taking action.

When Jiaozhou soldiers arrived outside Yazhou City, they found that the gate of Yazhou City was closed and the city walls were impregnable. It seemed that a quick battle could not solve the problem.

Jiaozhou soldiers began to call for battle, and let Yazhou soldiers come out to fight, but the guards in the city were calm and unmoved.

Xiao Yu and Pei Lin looked at the city wall, and made a rough estimate. There were about 8000 to [-] Jiaozhou soldiers, and they gathered in a dark mass outside Yazhou city.They didn't dare to get too close to the city wall, because they had already seen the advantages and disadvantages of the Yazhou bed crossbow, so they had to be on guard.

After calling for a long time, all kinds of tricks came out, but there was no response from here.Stop over there and start cooking.

On the first day, it was so safe and sound.

Early the next morning, the Jiaozhou army began to beat drums and call for battle, and began to cut down trees and build ladders to attack the city.

The guards in Yazhou were a little nervous, and asked Pei Linzhi what to do. Pei Linzhi said: "Don't worry, they should be the ones to be afraid of. We are condescending and have the upper hand. The tung oil, palm oil, and coconut oil prepared before are all ready, and the big pot stand Come on, pour oil on the wall."

Both palm oil and coconut oil start to solidify during this season and need to be heated to fully melt.It would be a big waste to pour oil on the city wall, but fortunately, these two kinds of oil are the most indispensable in Yazhou. Knowing that there is going to be a war, Xiao Yu had already asked people to collect palm oil and coconut oil in Yazhou.

Drenched with oil, the city wall will become extremely slippery, and it is not so easy to climb the city wall.

Oil barrels, dry firewood and arrows have already been piled up on the city wall, ready for the battle of defending the city.

On the second day, the two sides were still calling and preparing.

The people around are looking forward to the end of the war soon, so that they can come to the city to sell vegetables and groceries, and the people in the city also hope that the war will end soon, so that they can eat fresh food.

In fact, the government had already called in advance to ask the people to stockpile food and vegetables for at least half a month. People in the city had stockpiled a lot of rice, salted fish and salted meat that could last for a long time.

Some people actually have a yard and grow some vegetables, so they will not be short of food and vegetables for a while, but after all, they are still not as comfortable and convenient as usual.

On the third day, Zhou Guanying came out to call for battle in person. He rode on the only war horse in the entire army. God knows how this horse got off the ship. He raised his spear and shouted in the direction of the city gate: " I am Zhou Guanying, the defender of Jiaozhou, and I am here to fight today. Who is the defender in the city, report your name!"

A pawn shouted from the top of the city: "Your rank is too low, you are not worthy to fight with our General Pei!"

"Huangkou boy, don't be rude! Tell your general to come here, I want to talk to him." Zhou Guanying was so angry that he was humiliated by a small soldier.

Pei Linzhi poked his head out from the top of the wall: "General Zhou, I am Pei Linzhi, the grandson of Duke Protector Pei Chuang. You must have received the letter from my Highness three days ago. My Highness is eager to seek talents, and sincerely recruits generals. With the general's sword and gun facing each other, I hope the general will not be obsessed with obsession and turn to the light."

Zhou Guanying heard this: "Your family's ancestors were brave and mighty, how could you give birth to such an unfaithful and unfilial person. I think you are the one who is obsessed!"

Liang Wang Xiaoyao couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up and scolded: "Ah bah! Shameless, who do you say is unfaithful and unfilial? Your dog emperor murdered his own father, that is unfilial. Bow your head to the dog It is infidelity to be a minister, to cede land for compensation, and to bury the lives of the people. Only a stupid slave like you will be loyal blindly. General Pei, I don’t think this idiot is worth recruiting. You might as well kill him. Come here, carry the bed crossbow, look I will not kill him!"

Zhou Guanying was under the wind, and the words of King Liang fell into his ears without a word, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly backed away.

Xiao Yao put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly: "I haven't set up the crossbow yet, this stupid servant scared away. It's really worthless, the dog emperor is only worthy of using you stupid and worthless bastard! All the soldiers in the city Listen well, you are the soldiers of Anguo, not the soldiers of the dog emperor Xiao Yi. What was your oath when you entered the barracks? To be loyal to the country and guard the homeland. Now the dog emperor has already betrayed his country and ancestors, what else? Who is worthy of your loyalty? Now in Yazhou City, there is a wise and capable prince Xiao Yu who loves the people like a son. You don’t support him, but support the one who gave your relatives, friends, and clansmen to Hu Gou as two-legged sheep. Dog emperor? As long as you have brains, you should think about whether this battle should be fought or not! Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, stay in my Yazhou, and you will have a better future in the future!"

After he finished speaking, the Jiaozhou army under the city began to have a small commotion.

Pei Linzhi looked at Xiao Yao from the side, and was immediately very surprised. He didn't expect this boy to be so eloquent and extremely provocative. If he said a few more words to him, someone in the Jiaozhou Army might turn against him.

Sure enough, Zhou Guanying raised his spear and yelled: "Quiet! Be quiet! Don't listen to his gossip!"

Pointing at himself, Xiao Yao said loudly: "I deceive the public with my gossip? I am the king of Liang, Xiao Yao! Yes, that is the one who went to the funeral for the emperor with his elder brother, but his elder brother was killed by the dog emperor and buried with the emperor King Liang, your dog emperor, killing brothers and fathers, can do such unconscionable things. As your emperor, if something goes wrong, you will beheaded to vent your anger. You are really willing to do this people who sacrificed their lives?"

Pei Linzhi added: "By the way, the Jiaozhou Army under the city is listening. His Highness the Crown Prince said, don't step on the cultivated land and don't damage the crops. It's not easy for the common people to cultivate the land. The whole family points to this to harvest and live."

As soon as he said that, the soldiers under the city lowered their heads to check whether they had really stepped on the crops.

Unfortunately, the place where they stayed happened to be a piece of dry land, where a lot of soybeans, peanuts, flax and cotton were planted.

Although it was too late to say at this time, a few trees were still able to be rescued, which left an impression on the Jiaozhou army. His Royal Highness really cared about the lives of the people. Maybe he really loved the people like a son as King Liang said?

Zhou Guanying fought for a long time, but in the end he only fought lip service once, and he didn't get any benefits. On the contrary, his morale was disturbed a bit.

So Zhou Guanying made a decisive decision and began to attack the city that night.

Pei Lin had expected this to happen a long time ago. He ordered all the soldiers in the city, except the guards, to sleep in the afternoon, recharge their batteries, and wait for the night's battle.At three o'clock in the morning, the Jiaozhou army finally received the order to attack the city, and picked up the ladders that had been rushed to make within two days and began to attack the city.

As soon as they made any movement, the people on the top of the city noticed and began to draw bows and shoot arrows to prevent the Jiaozhou army from taking the ladder.

The Jiaozhou army did not have torches, because they were afraid of exposing their targets, and torches had to be lit on the towers, so they also became targets for the Jiaozhou army, and arrows rained from bottom to top.

Pei Linzhi personally led the troops on the city wall, and the soldiers were divided into two groups, who took turns to draw bows and shoot arrows.The bed crossbow was not idle either, and directly fired arrows in the direction of the Jiaozhou army.

For a while, the sounds of charging, fighting, and screams intertwined. You don't need to look at it to imagine how tragic it is.

Soon, the first wave of the Jiaozhou Army's offensive was defeated, and the ladder was not even erected.

Pei Linzhi took an inventory of his own situation. The casualties were very light, because the soldiers were all wearing heavy armor. Although it was a little inconvenient, the protective effect was very good.And even if you shoot arrows on the top of the city, the heavy armor doesn't hinder your movement.

Half an hour later, the Jiaozhou Army organized a second attack.This time, probably a big reward was promised, the attack was more daring, the ladder was erected, and some people even almost climbed the city wall, but they were cut down.

The second wave of attack retreated, and the Jiaozhou army suffered more casualties than the first.

The guards of Yazhou changed another group, and the previous group had supper. Xiao Yu ordered the army kitchen to prepare flax glutinous rice balls, and the flax filling was mixed with thick and sweet honey.

After eating and drinking enough, and resting for a while, the soldiers took a nap while waiting to change defenses.

This night, the Jiaozhou Army organized a total of three attacks, none of which were successful.

In Yinshizhong, it was the darkest hour of the day, and the Jiaozhou army, who had been busy all night, had just fallen asleep.Suddenly heard a very strange flute sound, followed by a deafening shout: "Kill!"

The guard on the city tower sat up in shock: "Here again?"

This is a new attack, but the attacking side is replaced by Yazhou soldiers.The Yazhou soldiers who had been lurking in the dark finally came out. A group of cavalrymen on horses rushed into the Jiaozhou barracks, threw down torches one after another, and lit several main tents, causing a huge commotion.

Countless Jiaozhou soldiers turned over from their sleep, picked up their weapons, and prepared to fight, but they didn't know where the enemy was. The tent of the main tent was burning ragingly, and everyone rushed to put out the fire.At this moment, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, and many unsuspecting people were hit.

Someone shouted: "The Yazhou army is coming, run away!"

This voice really worked, and many people fled in all directions.

Zhou Guanying, who ran out of the main tent, coughed and shouted: "Beware of deceit! It's a trick of the Yazhou army!" Suddenly, a stray arrow flew over and shot at Zhou Guanying's right chest.

He swayed and threw himself on the ground.

The entourage next to him turned pale with shock: "General!"

The impact of this wave was not long, and the troops dispatched were not many, and the Yazhou Army stopped as soon as they succeeded.But the effect was very good. It not only disturbed the morale of the Jiaozhou Army, but also severely damaged the leader of the Jiaozhou Army, Zhou Guanying.
