Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 273 The Battle Begins

Gao Yingxiang's words made the atmosphere in the entire big tent drop sharply.Luo Rucai looked at Gao Yingxiang, a stern look flashed across his face, but he quickly hid it again.

Wang Ziyong looked at the somewhat awkward atmosphere in the big tent, and hurriedly said: "Everyone, I think what King Chuang said is right. We already have enough manpower in our hands. If we want to search for the people to deal with a small Jiyuan City, Wouldn't that make you laugh your ass off? So, I think we should follow what King Chuang said."

Everyone looked at Wang Ziyong, then at Gao Yingxiang, and had no choice but to agree with Wang Ziyong's statement.

When Gao Yingxiang saw that no one in the big tent had any other opinions, he burst out laughing, "Haha, if you can come today, it's for Gao Yingxiang's face. Come on, come on, I won't return tonight if I'm not drunk .”

"Haha, okay, King Chuang is open and bright. If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't go home." Ma Shouying, the old man, patted the table and shouted excitedly.

As for the others, although they agreed with Gao Yingxiang, they all had their own little plans in mind.

The next day, Gao Yingxiang didn't get up until it was mid-sun. He walked out of the big tent and, accompanied by several personal guards, checked the progress of building the siege equipment.

As for Zhao Wen, now he is recharging his energy and leading his men to camp ten miles behind Gao Yingxiang.

Zhao Wen sat in the big tent, holding a teacup, drinking the hot tea in it, "My lord, these thieves are now making siege equipment, do you want to harass them?"

Zhao Daniu came in from outside the big tent.

Zhao Wen put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Zhao Daniu, and said with a smile: "Let them build it, we just need to wait and see what happens. By the way, have you figured out the time for the thieves to attack the city?"

Zhao Daniu walked up to Zhao Wen, bowed his body, "My lord, this morning, the Yebushou we sent out grabbed a few tongues.

According to what the tongue said, Gao Yingxiang will launch an attack on Jiyuan City tomorrow morning. At that time, not only Gao Yingxiang, but also Wang Ziyong and other thieves will also launch an attack on Jiyuan City. "

Zhao Wen stood up from the chair, looked at Zhao Daniu, and said, "If it's like this, we will launch an attack tomorrow morning.

The order went on, ordering all the soldiers except those who stayed overnight and those who were patrolling the camp to rest now to get enough energy for tomorrow's battle. "

Zhao Daniu cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong and shouted: "Obey."

Zhao Wen looked at Zhao Daniu's leaving figure, with fierce lights flashing in his eyes.

"Gao Yingxiang, Gao Yingxiang, let me see how long you can be arrogant."

Time passed slowly, and before the sun rose the next day, bursts of fragrance came from Zhao Wen's camp.

More than 2000 people stayed in the barracks, replenishing their bodies with energy.

Zhao Wen was holding a big bowl, sitting in the big tent, eating the food in the bowl with relish.

A few quarters of an hour later, Zhao Wen put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and asked the guards standing outside the big tent to put on his own armor.

After Zhao Wen put on the armor, he twisted his neck, picked up the helmet on the table, and walked towards the outside of the big tent.

"My lord, the team has assembled."

As soon as Zhao Wen walked out of the big tent, Zhao Daniu came over.

Zhao Wen nodded, then rode on the horse brought by Zhao Daniu, and headed towards the place where the soldiers gathered.

After a while, Zhao Wen came to the place where the soldiers gathered.

Zhao Wen looked at these soldiers riding on war horses, wearing bright armor and full of energy, and shouted: "Today we will defeat the bandits, do you have confidence?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The soldiers waved their weapons and shouted frantically at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen waved his hand and shouted at the soldiers: "Check the weapons and equipment now, and set off in a quarter of an hour."

Following Zhao Wen's order, these soldiers began to carefully check the weapons in their hands.

After checking the weapons, Zhao Wen waved his hand and shouted, "Shut down the flags and drums, and move forward slowly. The bandits haven't launched an attack yet, so we don't need to worry."

At the same time, Gao Yingxiang was sitting in the big tent. He looked at the people in the big tent, his face flashed with excitement, "Everyone, I must take down Jiyuan City for me today. Pass the order down, eat first, and wait a while." Gather your troops in an hour, and launch an attack in an hour."

"Obey!" The people in the big tent shouted at Gao Yingxiang, clasping their fists.

Not only Gao Yingxiang's team, but Wang Ziyong, Ge Zuo's Fifth Battalion, and Luo Rucai's troops have all started to move slowly.

An hour later, Gao Yingxiang's troops had all assembled.Gao Yingxiang rode on a horse and was protected by a group of guards at the front of the team.

He looked at Jiyuan City in front of him, pulled out the long knife from his waist, pointed the knife in his hand at Jiyuan City, and shouted: "Target Jiyuan City, kill!!!"

Following Gao Yingxiang's order, the thieves who were driving away the refugees let out a huge roar. They waved the weapons in their hands and drove the refugees in the team towards Jiyuan City.

In addition to Gao Yingxiang's troops, Wang Ziyong and the others also drove out the refugees in his hands and headed towards Jiyuan City.

For a moment, the refugees were like ants, densely packed towards Jiyuan City.

The refugees ran towards Jiyuan City from the ground. Among these refugees, there were quite a few people carrying all kinds of siege equipment.

Among the people Gao Yingxiang looted, there was no one who could build ladders, so their siege equipment was basically long ladders, or carts pulling huge logs that hit the city gate.

Although the weapons were simple, these people attacked Jiyuan City together, and they had already crushed the defenders on the city wall in terms of momentum.

The vagrants and thieves rushed towards Jiyuan City screaming strangely, stepping on the ground with countless feet, stirring up countless dust.

Driven by the wind, the dust rushed straight into the sky, and the entire battlefield seemed to be covered in dust.

It looked so oppressive that the air seemed to have stopped flowing.

10,000+ refugees and thieves stepped on the ground, causing the ground to vibrate slowly.

Gao Yingxiang looked at the ants-like team with a look of pride on his face.

"Hahaha, with such a force, the world is so big, where can I go? Even that little emperor, don't think he can do anything to me." Gao Yingxiang waved the weapon in his hand and laughed wildly.

The defenders standing on Jiyuan City looked at the refugees attacking the city, their legs were trembling constantly, their bodies were sweating profusely, their hands holding weapons trembled violently, and almost dropped the weapons in their hands.

The air on the city wall seemed to stop flowing, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn. The ants-like thieves and refugees outside the city were like a huge rock weighing ten thousand catties, pressing on the chests of these people, making them breathless.

Qianhu stood on the city wall, looking at the refugees and thieves rushing towards him, his whole body was drenched in sweat as if standing in the heavy rain.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gasped for breath, and pulled out the knife from his waist tremblingly, "No, no, don't be afraid, they are just refugees, ordinary people, they are not our opponents, We will definitely be able to defend Jiyuan City."

Obviously, Qianhu has been frightened to the extreme by the vagrants and thieves outside the city.

"Ah, we can't beat them, we can't beat them, we really can't beat them." A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in a tattered military uniform looked at the vagrants like ants, and was instantly frightened without courage.He threw the weapon in his hand and fled to the rear.

Driven by him, the defenders on the section of the city wall where he was located also began to commotion.

Qianhu stretched out his trembling hand, pointed at the young man, and said tremblingly: "Anyone who dares to disturb the morale of our army will be killed without mercy. Come, I will chop off this person who disturbed the morale of the army, and hang his head on the city wall." Come up, to boost the morale of the army."

After Qianhu gave an order, two personal guards walked out behind him, and hurried towards the boy.

After a while, the guards sent by Qianhu caught the boy, chopped off his head, and hung it on the city wall.

The soldiers guarding the city wall looked at this scene, shrunk their necks, and looked out of the city again.

Gao Yingxiang watched the men and horses gradually approaching the city wall, waved his hand, and shouted: "Give me an order, beat the drums, and charge."

Gao Yingxiang gave an order, and the military drums in the army sounded, and the sound of the military drums was extremely penetrating, resounding on the battlefield.

The sound of drums accompanied by shouts of killing resounded through the sky. At this moment, the adrenaline of the refugees and thieves who launched the charge soared rapidly. Regardless of whether these refugees were forced or not, they are now rushing towards the city wall.

Holding the binoculars, Zhao Wen looked at the scene in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Give me an order to move forward two miles, and when the bandits attack the city wall, we will launch an attack.

Our target is Gao Yingxiang's old camp, which is Gao Yingxiang's Chinese army camp. "

Now Gao Yingxiang's old battalion has not been dispatched yet, and they all quietly stay behind Gao Yingxiang.

Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses moved forward slowly, and finally stopped at a position less than three miles away from Gao Yingxiang.

Gao Yingxiang was now focusing on the siege, and he didn't notice the imminent danger at all.

The sun in the sky gradually rose to the sky, and it was the hottest time of the day.

The moat outside Jiyuan City was like a small ditch at this time, and it didn't play any role at all.It didn't take long for the moat to be filled with these thieves and refugees.

After crossing the moat, the refugees and thieves who launched the charge had already rushed below the city wall.

All the simple long ladders they built leaned against the city wall.

"kill!"

Qianhu standing on the city wall looked at the thieves attacking the city with ants, waved the weapon in his hand, and shouted at the defenders on the city wall.

"kill!!!"

All of a sudden, the shouts of killing continued on the city wall, and the defenders threw the rolled logs and rocks that had been prepared long ago downward.

However, there were too many refugees attacking the city, and their counterattack was like throwing stones into the sea, and the waves they caused were quickly submerged by the subsequent refugees.

On the ladder leaning on the city wall, refugees were constantly climbing up. A bandit officer looked at the refugees surrounded below the city wall and shouted: "Come on, anyone who can attack, I will definitely do it." Report to King Chuang to let him enter the old camp, and he will be popular and delicious from then on. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy."

As soon as the team officer finished speaking, a 30-year-old man rolled down the ladder, broke his foot, and lay on the ground crying continuously.

The team officer looked at the man, swung a knife, and hacked him to the ground.

"Those who disturb the morale of the army will be killed without mercy."

Not knowing whether it was his cruelty or what he said just now, the refugees surrounded by the city wall hurriedly climbed towards the ladder.

The defenders guarding the city wall looked at the refugees who kept climbing up, feeling desolate in their hearts.

"Master Qianhu, if this continues, we won't be able to hold on for an hour, sir, we can't stand it." A personal guard watched the refugees climbing up, and rushed to Qianhu and shouted loudly.

Qianhu's hand holding the long knife kept trembling, and his face was full of panic, "Even if we can't hold it, we must defend today, if we retreat now, the court will definitely not spare us.

If we defend today and retreat tomorrow, we will at least have an argument.Pass the order down, and you must keep it out today. "

Zhao Wen looked at the bandits who were about to climb up the city wall, pulled out the long knife in his hand, pointed at Gao Yingxiang's old camp in front, and shouted: "Take out all the 40 fires, and the Gao Yingxiang's Chinese army in front of the target, give me Saturation attack."

As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, more than 200 people jumped off their horses.

Among them, 40 people carrying 100 fires, accompanied by the deputy shooter, stood neatly dozens of steps in front of Zhao Wen.

In order to be able to attack Gao Yingxiang better, Zhao Wen's place is a carefully selected slope, and the terrain is higher than Gao Yingxiang's.

More than 200 people, including the deputy shooter, squatted neatly in front of the team. They looked at Gao Yingxiang's Chinese army camp in front of them. After adjusting their breathing, they loaded 40 fire rockets into it.

After a few breaths, the rockets were all loaded.

Zhao Wen mobilized the horse, walked slowly to the side of the shooters, jumped off the horse, handed the horse to the guards behind him, and stood beside the shooters by himself.

He pointed the knife in his hand at Gao Yingxiang's Chinese army camp ahead, a stern look flashed across his face, and then he shouted: "Fire!"

As soon as Zhao Wen's voice fell, the shooter pulled the trigger of 40 fires.

"Chi la chi la!"

For a while, the shrill screams of the 40 fire resounded non-stop.

More than 100 rockets headed towards Gao Yingxiang's Chinese army formation with orange-red tail flames. The rockets floated in the air, leaving gray and black trails.

The speed of the rocket continued to increase, and it flew towards Gao Yingxiang's Chinese army formation.

Gao Yingxiang was riding on a horse and looking at the battlefield ahead when he heard a strange voice.

"What sound?" He looked back curiously.

But when he just looked back, the rocket landed behind his central army formation.

"Boom!"

The rockets exploded one after another at the rear of the formation, and the air waves generated by the explosion knocked all the soldiers and horses of the old battalion around the explosion to the ground.

The fragments from the explosion swept away like a torrential rain, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the veterans.
