Chapter 246 Siege
Hao Feng had already seen the thousands of soldiers under Hong Shangrong's command, they were indeed elite soldiers, and they could be seen at a glance.

That spirit is completely different from his own in Longle County.

Even Wan Renminzhuang is several times stronger than the officers and soldiers in Longle County.

Although he is the magistrate of Longle County, he has nothing to do with the hundreds of households in the garrison, and the other party does not buy his face.

So he had to admire Lin Xiqi, at least Lin Xiqi could make Hong Shangrong, a hundred households, docile.

Even though Hong Shangrong has so many people under his command, he still obeys Lin Xiqi's orders.

This is Lin Xiqi's ability, he is not as good as him.

The Su family sisters and Qin Xiaoyin were also beside Lin Xiqi. Originally, Lin Xiqi didn't intend to let them come, but Qin Xiaoyin insisted on coming, and finally let her go.

"My lord." Hong Shangrong found that Lin Xiqi had come in person, so he couldn't help running over in a hurry.

"How is it? How are the soldiers?" Lin Xiqi asked.

"The fighting spirit is high." Hong Shangrong said loudly, "We have long wanted to kill these Tartars, but unfortunately we didn't have the opportunity in the past, and now the opportunity is in front of us, how can we miss it?"

"Very well, I am not worried about you, but I am a little worried about those people." Lin Xiqi said.

The defense of the city mainly depends on Hong Shangrong and the others. No matter how good his strength is, he is still alone.

If the Houyuan army really broke through the city, he would not be able to drive them out by himself.

"Don't worry, my lord. If something goes wrong, my lord will be the first to cut off the head of the humble officer." Hong Shangrong said.

Lin Xiqi nodded, he believed in Hong Shangrong.

"Here we come." Lin Xiqi cast his eyes on Hou Yuan's army and murmured.

"Kill the Tartars and protect the homeland, my lord is mighty!" Hong Shangrong shouted loudly.

The surrounding soldiers shouted loudly.

Lin Xiqi smiled slightly, but he didn't say much, and it was right to boost morale at this time.

Hao Feng also nodded secretly, this is a master of tigers and wolves.

However, it depends on the next performance.

"My lord, it seems that they are really well prepared." Said the person beside Wan Qichang.

They have already arrived in front of the county seat of Sandao County.

Seeing the flags fluttering on the wall of Sandao County and the crowds of people, you know that the other party is ready to defend the city.

"So what if you are prepared?" Wan Qichang sneered, "These Han people are soft-legged shrimps. I wait for the warriors to attack twice, and they will be defeated. Order to go down, cut down trees, make ladders, and prepare to attack the city."

"My lord? The number of defenders on the other side is unknown. We don't have enough siege equipment. Should we wait for the generals to come over?"

With a 'slap' sound, Wan Qichang slapped him hard on the face, then pointed at him and shouted: "It's unreasonable, how can my Houyuan warrior be greedy for life and afraid of death? No matter how many defenders there are, kill him!" Just go up. Little ones, gold, silver, treasures, and beauties are right in front of you, it depends on whether you dare to take them."

"Break the city, break the city!"

"This is an opportunity I finally got. If you shake the morale of the army again, be careful that I will chop off your head." Wan Qichang lowered his voice.

His subordinate didn't dare to say anything anymore.

He felt that he was too cautious. The officers and soldiers on the border of the Great Xia Dynasty were all rotten.

One of these warriors can fight three, or even more.

Often, a few hundred people here can chase and fight thousands of people in Daxia Dynasty.

There seemed to be something on the city wall, but he believed that as soon as his side started to attack the city, they would immediately reveal their secrets.

They still know the virtues of these officials in the Great Xia Dynasty.

"So slow?" Wan Qichang could not help cursing when he realized that the ladder was not ready half an hour later.

"My lord, all the trees in a radius of tens of miles have been burned, we can only go further to cut down." One of the subordinates said with a bitter face.

"Damn it, I've been delayed for so long. When I break into the city, I will definitely tear the person who gave the order to pieces." Wan Qichang gritted his teeth.

He is the forward, and the army behind will catch up soon, not more than three hours.

In other words, I only have three hours at most to attack the city.

If you can't win in three hours, then your chance will be missed.

Taking the first to capture a city, of course they will get a lot of benefits.

Even if most of them have to be handed in, they will still be distributed much more than others.

Everyone is well aware of these.

"My lord, why don't you go to rest first, as long as there are humble jobs here." Hong Shangrong said.

"It's okay, I'm afraid they are going to attack the city." Lin Xiqi said.

He wanted to see the first wave of attacks by the Tartars of the Later Yuan Dynasty, and also wanted to verify how well Hong Shangrong trained soldiers.

After all, most people have not been baptized by fighting, and Lin Xiqi has to see it in person before she can feel at ease.

At this moment, Wang Dong came over.

"Have you done it?" Lin Xiqi asked.

"It's done. After killing dozens of people, those people in the rivers and lakes will be honest. Now let Tao Yan and the others organize those people first, and 3000 people can join the ranks of defending the city at any time." Wang Dong said.

"So many? Three thousand people from all walks of life." After hearing Wang Dong's words, Hao Feng was a little surprised.

"Master Hao, don't be surprised. There are quite a few people who have flooded into the rivers and lakes this time." Lin Xiqi smiled, "With this group of people, the confidence is greater, but we still have to let them see hope. If they If we find that our side is completely invincible, they will probably disperse immediately."

"My lord, please rest assured that such a thing will never happen." Hong Shangrong said hastily.

Everyone knows that this first battle is very important.

"Go." Wan Qichang waved his hand, and the men behind him rushed towards the city wall carrying the ladder.

After an hour of preparation, he also ignored the lack of ladders and ordered to attack the city.

He believed that even if there were not enough ladders, the aura of his subordinates could make the defenders above lose their will to fight.

He has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and he is too familiar with what the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty are like.

"My lord, let's step back a little bit." Su Qingmei whispered.

Even though she knew that Lin Xiqi was unlikely to be in any danger here, she still persuaded her.

Lin Xiqi shook his head, Hao Feng's expression remained unchanged, and he just stood by the city wall, looking at the Tartar soldiers rushing down below.

"Fire arrows!"

Following Hong Shangrong's order, a rain of arrows shot out, and the Tartar soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

Most of the Tartar soldiers didn't have any armor, just some fur clothes, which couldn't resist the attack of bows and arrows.

However, the rain of arrows could not stop the Tazi soldiers from attacking the city.

The ladder was erected, and the Tazi soldiers quickly climbed up, uttering strange shouts, and bloodthirsty eyes showing in their eyes.

With the sword in hand, the officers and soldiers of the city beheaded the Tartar soldiers who climbed up to the entrance of the city.

Some people also stabbed the Tartar soldiers on the ladder with spears.

"Be careful with Tartar bows and arrows."

The Tartar soldiers under the city wall also began to suppress with arrows.

Many people fell to the ground with arrows.

The Tartar soldiers roamed across the desert grassland, and they were proficient in riding and archery, so their bows and arrows were still very threatening to the defenders.
