I’m The King Chapter 519: :The inside should be combined with the outside
Zhou Cheng led two thousand Qin troops out of the city, which left only one thousand defenders in the city. Even if these people stood on the city wall holding hands, they could barely hold the city wall of Shannan County. Standing in a circle, this force is really weak for Shannan City. Fortunately, Lu Chao believes that there should be no large-scale enemy invasion in the place where Shannan County is located, even if horse thieves bypass the outside The army attacked, and with their equipment, it was extremely difficult to take down Shannan City.
A thousand Qin soldiers all went up to the city wall for necessary precautions, which made the city extremely empty. Cao Tianci stayed in the sheriff's mansion, and found that there was no guard in the whole sheriff's mansion, only some maids and servants came in and out. He now has only a hundred wounded soldiers under his command, but these wounded soldiers were carefully selected by Gao Yuan, and it seemed that they were all wounded, but it did not affect their combat. What's more, not far from them, there are more than a hundred people from the Four Seas Merchant led by Yi Bin. Naturally, these people are not caravan guys, and they are all dressed up as soldiers of the Eastern Conquest Army.
Cao Tianci was waiting for the final moment.
One day later, the moment Cao Tianci was looking forward to finally arrived.
Today, the snow did not fall very much. In the morning, there was a biting cold wind. In the afternoon, after a burst of snow seeds fell, God withdrew his troops and returned to camp. Lu Chao had just inspected the city wall. He was not looking to see if the soldiers were paying attention, but to see if the soldiers on the city could have a sip of hot soup in this cold weather. There were only a thousand soldiers left in the city. They were all on the city wall, and the weather was cold. Staying on the city wall, even though he was wearing a heavy fur, he felt uncomfortably cold, not to mention that these soldiers were still wearing armor, so it was naturally colder.
He is very satisfied with the inspection situation, and the logistics support for the army is still in place. It is lunch time. The pots of hot soup were carried up to the city wall, watching the soldiers gnaw on the buns and drinking the hot soup with satisfied expressions on their faces, Lu Chao himself felt satisfied.
Eating a cornbread with the soldiers and drinking a bowl of hot soup, Lu Chao decided to go back to the Sheriff's Mansion. He decided to agree to Yi Bin's discussion with him two days ago, but now it was expected. All the property brought by my mother has been thrown on the snow field. I'm afraid that Yi Bin's conditions will change, but with his status as the Sima of Shannan County, it is enough to get enough bargaining chips.
One foot had already stepped on the steps of the lower city, and there was a sharp neighing sound, which made Lu Chao's foot suddenly froze when he stepped out.
Each army has a warning whistle, and different armies use different whistles. This is the unique sound of the Qin army, not just one sound, but after the first sound, two more sounded.
Three Ming Dysprosiums rang. There was a loud bang above the city of Shannan County, and all the Qin soldiers who were eating stood up and threw away the corn bread and soup bowls in their hands. They rushed to the edge of the city wall together, and looked into the distance with wide eyes.
Although there is no snow, there is a difference between heaven and earth. There is still a thin layer of fog, and the visibility is not very good. From the outpost, dozens of fast horses were faintly running towards Shannan County, and puffs of green smoke were already rising from the outpost, and within a short moment, thick smoke was billowing everywhere.
"An enemy is attacking!" one of the generals yelled, Lu Chao may not be clear, but this general is clear, first three beeps, and then the post spontaneously ignites, which can only indicate the incoming enemy huge amount of.
"Sun Aobo, Sun Aobo!" Lu Chao turned and ran back, shouting loudly.
Pianjiang trotted over, "Lu Sima, there is an enemy attack, there are at least a few thousand enemies, immediately close the city gate and prepare for battle."
"You come to command, right away!" Lu Chao shouted, he is not good at commanding operations.
The suspension bridge rose slowly, and the city gate began to close amidst the creaking sound. Lu Chao suddenly yelled, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, that's General Zhou Cheng. Hurry up, Ma! Get off the suspension bridge, don't close the city gate tightly, and wait for General Zhou to come back."
At the front, the dozens of cavalry galloping forward were none other than Zhou Cheng who left the city with two thousand Qin troops a day ago. They were bloody, and they were rushing all the way here.
Looking at the pursuers behind them, both Lu Chao and Sun Aobo took a deep breath, a mass of cavalry was rushing towards them, and behind the cavalry, there were even more Many pawns are running towards here.
"Can't put down the drawbridge, close the city gate immediately!" Sun Aobo's face turned pale, "Pull it up, pull up the drawbridge, archers, bed crossbowmen, trebuchets, prepare to attack!"
"That's General Zhou, General Zhou Cheng!" Lu Chao shouted.
"Lu Sima." Sun Aobo turned around and looked at Lu Chao, "General Zhou Cheng is too close to the enemy. If General Zhou Cheng is allowed in, the enemy's cavalry will rush in. There are only a thousand cavalry in the city. Soldiers, if you let them rush into the city, it will be over."
Zhou Cheng, who was rushing towards the city gate, watched the suspension bridge rising higher and higher, and the city gate behind the suspension bridge was also slammed shut, with a look of despair on his face, looking back, the chasing cavalry were only a few kilometers away from him Ten steps away, at this distance, the opponent didn't shoot arrows, it can only be said that the opponent wanted to follow behind him and rush into Shannan City.
Zhou Cheng took the reins and galloped to one side along the ditch in front of the city.
"Sun Aobo, defend Shannan City!" he howled loudly.
"Don't worry, general, I will definitely guard Shannan City!" On the city, Sun Aobo shouted sharply, "Shoot the arrow!"
The sound of swishing was endless. On the top of the city, a dense rain of arrows shot down. It fell down like a stone. At the same time, rows of feathered arrows were also shot from behind them. Zhou Cheng, who was walking around the city, and dozens of riders fell down one after another in the rain of arrows, and fell to the ground below the city. In the trench.
"It's Zhao Jun, a native of Zhao!" Sun Aobo looked at the enemy army below the city and shouted angrily.
Zhou Cheng died, and the chasing Zhao Jun cavalry retreated, retreating beyond the range of the feather arrows, forming a formation, and behind them, an endless stream of infantry was gathering.
"Shameless people from the state of Zhao actually made a surprise attack!" Sun Aobo clenched his fists tightly, "Lu Sima, there are at least ten thousand people."
"Can you hold it?" Lu Chao suddenly turned his head and looked at Sun Aobo, "Can you hold it?"
"I'll do my best!" Sun Aobo looked at Lu Chao, "There are too many enemies, but we have too few people, Lu Sima, please send someone for help immediately, I hope we can last until then, since Zhao Jun has arrived Here, I am afraid that General He Yangguang will be more or less fortunate, and the Zhao people have colluded with the horse bandits and the Xiongnu tribe."
Lu Chao stopped talking, turned around and walked down the city, "I leave the matter of defending the city to you. I won't make trouble for you here anymore. I'll go down to transport ordnance for you and organize the people. All Qin people in the city, Everyone should go to the city wall to defend the land of the Qin people."
Lu Chao walked down from the top of the city without looking back, and outside the city, there was the sound of loud shouts and rumbling drums, and he knew that the Zhao people's attack had begun.
He rode a horse and rushed directly into the Sheriff's Mansion, where he was going to gather all the officials of the Sheriff's Mansion, and immediately assign them to be wounded, and let them gather the Qin people in the city separately, open the armory, Distribute weapons, mobilize everyone, go to the top of the city, and fight Zhao people to the death.
As soon as the war horse entered the Sheriff's Mansion, he saw a scene that surprised him. On the vast school grounds of the Sheriff's Mansion, Cao Tianci stood in full armor, holding the war horse, standing awe-inspiring, and behind him, a hundred Yu Zhengdong's cavalry are also all dressed neatly.
"General Cao, this is a war between us Qin people and Zhao people. You don't have to go up. I hope you stay in the county guard's mansion. If we can't hold it anymore, please take my mother and rush out. I can no longer be filial to my mother, please entrust my mother to Gao Yuan, and the rest of my mother's life will be entrusted to Gao Yuan." Lu Chao bowed deeply to Cao Tianci.
Cao Tianci's complexion was very complicated, he walked slowly to Lu Chao's side, and saluted him, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry." In the middle, a palm was struck on the back of Lu Chao's neck. Lu Chao stared wide-eyed and fell down in disbelief.
Cao Tianci stretched out his hand to support Lu Chao who had passed out, and two soldiers rushed over behind him, one left and one right holding Lu Chao.
"Take Mr. Lu to the back house and imprison him with Mrs. Lu. Leave a few people to guard." Cao Tianci ordered. At this time, almost all the officials in the county guard's mansion and Shannan county city were **** and thrown in the lobby.
"Get on the horse!" Cao Tianci shouted sharply.
More than a hundred cavalrymen got on their horses, with a knife in one hand and a crossbow in the other.
"Let's go!" Cao Tianci clamped his horse's belly and rushed towards the gate of the mansion, followed by him rushing out of the mansion gate~IndoMTL.com~ A cavalryman behind him raised his hand and shot a Ming Dy.
Yi Bin, who was not far from the county guard's mansion, heard the crisp sound of the blare, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Everyone, get on your horse and get ready to fight!"
More than a hundred caravan men quickly pulled out the horses and mounted them. The horses they used to drag the goods were war horses themselves.
When Yi Bin's team rushed out of their residence, it happened that Cao Tianci's team rushed over. The two teams merged together and rushed towards the city gate.
At this moment, Feng Fayong, who was outside the city, had already commanded the whole army to press forward. He didn't know Gao Yuan's arrangement, but Gao Yuan told him that when the whole army arrived at Shannan City, they would immediately press down and attack violently. Sometimes, there will be unexpected surprises for him.
Feng Fayong didn't know what this unexpected surprise was, but he understood that Gao Yuan would not fool him on such a major event, because if he couldn't take down Shannan City, it would be of no benefit to Gao Yuan.
Nearly 10,000 Zhao Jun rushed over with shouts, each holding a bag full of snow in their hands, and kept the bag in the ditch, filling in a more than 100-meter-long road in a short time. Passage, Zhao Jun held up the ladder, approached the top of the city, and swarmed up. (To be continued!
