Chapter 1426
Holding a longbow, Tang Feng quietly watched Zhao Hu and his party go away quickly. Lei Ming, who was blushed by Zhao Hu's anger, couldn't help being taken aback when he saw Tang Feng like this, and asked cautiously, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

Tang Feng said with a serious face: "The major named Zhao Hu is not simple, he is not just a deep background."

"Hmph, he's just a guy who runs fast with his horse, and his background must not be that deep! Otherwise, he wouldn't be a little major." Lei Ming said angrily.

"Look at his performance. I dare say his fighting ability is comparable to mine. Could such a brave person be an ordinary person?"

Tang Feng sighed and said: "It seems that capturing Jinwen County this time is not as simple as imagined. It's a pity that he died in three battles. Otherwise, we can carefully find out what other skills this Zhao Hu has."

Lei Ming, who was taken aback by Tang Feng's words of comparable fighting ability, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Uh, uncle, what if our [-] people took heavy losses to capture Jinwen City? Or, we are simply What if we can’t take Jinwen City?”

Lei Ming is not an arrogant kid, he knows that his uncle is not a big talker, and that an imperial major can compete with Shanyue No. 1 force?This made him feel a little bad about the future.

Moreover, he is very clear that the Mountain Yue soldiers he brought out are all strong and strong from his own tribe. If the loss is heavy, not only will he not be able to explain to the tribe, but also the tribe with few soldiers will be annexed by other tribes immediately. sinner.

Hearing this, Tang Feng pondered for a while and sighed.

"With the appearance of Zhao Hu, I can't guarantee that we can take Jinwen City with a slight loss. Let's do it, the mountain regiment will lose [-]%, and the tribal soldiers will lose [-]%. If we don't take down Jinwen City, we will withdraw our troops..."

Lei Ming couldn't help but interrupted: "Withdraw troops? No way! We have been publicizing for so long and we have withdrawn troops like this. There is no way to explain it inside and outside!"

Tang Feng glared at Lei Ming: "It's a retreat, not a retreat. Why are you panicking? We retreated ten miles away and camped, and then went back to rescue the soldiers. Now that the empire is in turmoil, is such a good opportunity just let go?"

"Rescue soldiers? But in this way, the city will be distributed to other tribes, and it will no longer be monopolized by our Meng tribe." Lei Ming was very unwilling.

"Fool!"

Tang Feng cursed angrily first, then looked around and said in a low voice: "What is the root of a tribe's strength? Humans! The most important thing is soldiers who can fight!

"Our soldiers who have been tested in bloody battles are the foundation of the tribe. As long as they are there, the tribe will be strong! And if these soldiers are gone? The tribe will be annexed by other tribes immediately!"

"I know, my father specifically told me to minimize casualties, but I feel that I'm not reconciled to just giving up the fat." Lei Ming said dejectedly.

"If you think about it, it's just a precautionary measure. Maybe Zhao Hu's five thousand recruits won't be vulnerable at all."

Speaking of this, Tang Feng's tone became even more tense: "Besides, if Jinwen City is difficult to crack, we have to ask the tribes near the tribe to come and help."

Just as the cavalry scouts had guessed, at noon, dense bandits appeared in front of everyone.

"Camp camp!"

One kilometer away from Jinwen City, Tang Feng issued an order.

Thousands of simple tents were immediately set up in the snow.The Shanyue soldiers in charge of food began to gather the food and firewood carried by everyone, then took out utensils, filled them with snow and started to boil water for cooking.

It's funny to say that Shanyue doesn't have a dedicated logistics force, and this time everyone brought food with them, it was because of the expedition to a foreign country.

Fighting in the clan alliance, there is no food preparation at all, because either the defeated battle can only find food in the mountains, or the victorious battle robs the loser's food to eat.

Zhao Hu and others on the city tower also saw the dark crowd one kilometer outside the city.Although the soldiers of the guards were still standing upright, they still couldn't help being a little flustered since they had never been on the battlefield.

Seeing this, Zhao Hu shook his head. If the enemy attacked the city now, his subordinates might not even be able to use [-]% of their abilities.But think about it, how can a recruit who has never seen blood calmly participate in the tragic task of defending the city?

But my own guards were pretty good, at least they stood upright and didn't whisper to each other.

The performance of those young and strong men was not satisfactory, even the enemy hadn't seen it yet, and they were already whispering panickedly based on guesswork.

When the smoke was rising from the bandits' side, Zhao Hu's side also became busy.

Zhao Hu divided the 3000 strong men into seven troops, the first six had 2000 men each, and the latter had 2000 men.The six teams in the front were soldiers who fought in rounds, while the [-] people in the back were all weaker men, who were assigned to Sun Jie to take charge of the logistics.

Sun Jie's most important job right now is to organize the people of the city into groups so as not to cause chaos when retreating.Under the threat of bandits breaking the city, no matter how reluctant the people are to move out, they can only obey orders to manage their wealth and prepare to leave this ghostly place.

All the guard officers of the soldiers were transferred to the first round of 3000 people to serve as officers. Of these 3000 people, only 1000 were from soldiers, and the other [-] were from auxiliary soldiers.Zhao Hu himself served as the commander of the first round of troops, and Zhou Wen was in charge of the rest of the troops.

And Zhao Hu's other personal guards, that is, those dozens of cavalry dismounted to form a supervisory team.

The supervising team stood at the back of the team, and the shining steel knife lit up, and the menacing expression flashed, and the soldiers' hearts tensed up. Zhao Hu took the opportunity to issue the general order: "Those who violate the order will be killed! Those who retreat will be killed!"

As for calling on the soldiers to resist the bandits to the death, Sun Jie, the person in charge of the intelligence department, had already asked the secret guards to incite among the soldiers.Since the city must be abandoned, the spies deployed in the city must be taken back.

After lunch, the nearly ten-meter-high and several-kilometer-long city wall in front of me looked very impressive from a distance of one kilometer.

Most of the Shanyue soldiers who had never seen this kind of masonry city wall were all in a daze, including Lei Ming.

Tang Feng couldn't stand it anymore, he patted Lei Ming on the shoulder and winked.

Knowing what was going on, Lei Ming immediately shouted: "Brothers, have you seen it? That is the county town of Jinwen County! How majestic it is!

"It won't be long before this city will belong to us! At that time, everyone will be able to live in a spacious and strong house, wear comfortable and warm clothes! Eat good food and wine! We can get all of these at our fingertips! What are you waiting for? Come on!"

Lei Ming's words immediately made Shanyue Bing's eyes turn red. Thinking that he was going to live in that city tower, he immediately rushed up with the ladder, howling.

The Shanyue soldiers knew that they were short of troops, so they only attacked the front wall.Seeing these vicious bandits rushing towards them, the soldiers on the tower couldn't help but panic.

Seeing the panicked look of his subordinates, Zhao Hu smiled slightly, with his hands behind his back, walking back and forth with ease.

And Zhao Hu's personal guard, who was an officer in the team, waved his fists to cheer up the soldiers: "Why are you panicking? The opponents add up to only 1 people. We have 3000 people here, and there are nearly [-] brothers behind us." , what is there to be afraid of?

"What are the people in the front row doing with their shields so high? The enemy's bows and arrows haven't come yet! Put them down for me! Those in the back prepare stones for me, and when those bandits come forward, they will smash their mothers right away! And the archers are so early! What are you doing just drawing the bow? Are you strong enough or something? Wait for the order!
remember!No retreat without order!Do not retreat even if you die!I don't want you bastards not to die in the hands of the enemy, but to be chopped down by the supervisor team behind!Then I, the officer, will have no face in front of others! "

Seeing the relaxed expression of his highest officer, and the fact that the soldiers are not brainless, thinking that he has twice the number of the enemy and is still defending the city, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Of course, because of the threat of the stern-looking superintendent behind him, anyway, the flustered soldiers began to calm down.

The soldiers in the front row held their shields and looked nervously, while the soldiers in the back were either holding spears or holding stones, waiting for the enemy to approach.

When the archers in the Shanyue soldiers came within range, they immediately stopped drawing their bows and shooting arrows to cover their brothers who erected the ladders.Immediately, thousands of wooden arrows rushed towards the tower.

Without Zhao Hu's order, the officer shouted: "Raise the shield! The archers fight back!"

Before the shield player in front could panic, he immediately held up the shield reflexively, only feeling the weight of the shield, and immediately gritted his teeth to hold on.

Only a few unresponsive wretches were shot in this first attack, but their shields were immediately lifted by the officers before they were handed over to the rest of the soldiers.

Soldiers hid behind the shields in twos and threes. If they were lucky, they looked at the arrow shafts that were stuck on the floor next to them through the gaps and shook non-stop.

The unlucky one fell to the ground without a sound.Of course, it was unavoidable that there were a few highly skilled and daring soldiers who used their weapons to push aside the arrows that were aimed at them.

After the archers got the order, they immediately drew their bows and volleyed. They didn't aim, but just threw their heads down.Some nervously took out the arrows subconsciously when they shot out a pot of arrows, while others felt that their arms were so painful that they could no longer draw their bows after shooting a few arrows.

Anyway, the archers on Zhao Hu's side were ashamed, and the arrows they shot were sparse, and there was no feeling of arrow rain at all.The officer punched and kicked angrily and shouted loudly.
