Chapter 256 Unexpected Troop Increase

Lu Lingzhi saw that Yu Miaomiao was supporting a flagpole on the tower with both hands, and she had no intention of turning back, so she endured the fear in her heart and said, "Sister Yu, I will accompany you."

While comforting herself, the soldiers outside were kept out of the city, with this solid city wall and the tower so high, she was not afraid.

Yu Miaomiao turned her head and was about to say something, but saw Zhou Xiuwu striding forward in armor.

He has been busy defending for the past few days, so he was on guard against the enemy's soldiers and horses. There was another fierce battle last night. He hadn't slept well for a few days, and he stayed up all night. It was bloodshot, and the beard on the chin was even more unshaven, stained with blood, and tangled into a ball.

When Lu Lingzhi saw him, she flinched.

Zhou Xiuwu saw her dodging and cowering, stared at her, struck the ground with his spear, and said sharply: "A woman riding a city can defeat ten men. It is difficult to attack a city, but easy to defend it. What are you afraid of!"

Presumably it was last night that he barked orders one after another, but now his voice was still very loud, and his words were harsh, so frightened the little girl almost cried, she hid behind Yu Miaomiao, Zhou Xiuwu raised eyebrows and raised eyebrows when he saw this.

Yu Miaomiao quickly changed the topic, and said, "Looking at the opponent's posture, it seems that they are going to attack by force. How many troops do they have?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiuwu frowned and looked at the formation outside the city, "There are about [-]."

It is four times that of the Fangling defenders, which is [-] more than the [-] mentioned earlier.

Yu Miaomiao doesn't know the art of war, but he also knows that the location of the defenders is convenient. If the strategy is right, it can also cause heavy losses to the enemy.

Zhao Man sometimes reads a military book before going to bed, and she occasionally leans over to read it with him, and after a few glances, she falls asleep dully, but she also memorizes a few words, "Ten rules surround it, five Attack it, double it and divide it."

If the attacker has more soldiers than the defenders, but not more than ten times more, they can attack the city.

The other party should not be able to guess the soldiers and horses in their city, so is this just a coincidence?
Yu Miaomiao still doesn't know at this time that Fangling City is a place where His Highness the Crown Prince uses to show off his power and prowess of both civil and military skills.

The prince went out to fight, and he didn't know how many troops there were in Fangling City. Naturally, the number was large, so the prince must return with a big victory. In addition to mobilizing tens of thousands of Zunyi troops from the city defense of Bozhou City, he was sent from Chengdu.

In one of the largest military tents outside the city gate, Zhao Chi was wearing silver-white armor. The general's helmet made his facial features more sharp, and he lost his usual Confucianism.

At this time, he was sitting in front of the table with a gloomy face, his eyes swept over the generals in front of him like ice,

With a sneer, Fang said, "Zhao Man is still absent now. There is no general in Fangling's army. Five thousand soldiers were lost in the storm last night, and even this small city of Fangling can't be taken down. Counting all the people in this city, they can't take it down." How many? You are really the mainstay of my court."

Full of sarcasm, the tent was silent like cicadas.

He said sharply again: "If you can't break through today, you don't have to come back!"

Several generals looked solemn, and the one on the left said sonorously: "Yes!"

The general on the right talked a little more, but he was also determined: "Today I swear to break through Fangling City and eradicate the remaining evils!" The voice was so loud that it almost lifted the curtain.

"Guhou waits for the triumphant return."

The crowd came out.

Tong Zhilang You Liming and the two attendants looked at each other, and then lowered their eyes one after another, not daring to breathe. They thought they would be able to conquer Fangling in one battle, but they lost the first battle. His Royal Highness was naturally in a bad mood.

Upstairs in Fangling City, Zhou Xiuwu saw Yu Miaomiao standing here, and he didn't drive her down. If Yu Miaomiao wanted to stay, he also wanted her to watch today's battle.

A person like the prince should have a courageous woman. She doesn't need to do anything, as long as she can stand here and show the attitude of living and dying with the city.The prince is not here, she represents the prince, she needs to stabilize the morale of the army and the people, and wait for the prince to come back.

Last night, the opponent didn't know the number of Fangling's troops, so he attacked violently. Today, he just rested for a while, and before he could catch his breath, he launched a second attack. Zhou Xiuwu knew that the opponent wanted to win a quick battle. In Fangling City, either the other party is afraid of the prince's return, or they despise them and want to find out about them.

The prince is trapped in the Northeast. They must have gained confidence in the last night's battle. Today's battle is another bitter one.

Looking at Yu Miaomiao's swollen belly, Zhou Xiuwu ordered Lu Lingzhi to bring a chair up.

Lu Lingzhi was ordered by him, but she didn't come back to her senses, didn't even think about it, so she hurried to find a chair, and when she came back, she saw Zhou Xiuwu busy giving orders, walking like a wind, a strong wind, going back and forth, then After recovering, he quickly gave the chair to Yu Miaomiao and helped her to sit down.Only then did Zhou Xiuwu piss in his heart, "Ugly people make trouble."

Seeing his calm look, remembering what he said about women blocking ten men, such inexplicable words, my heart also calmed down a little, not trembling with fear as before, and did not continue talking.

Before the battle started, Lu Lingzhi couldn't help but give Zhou Xiuwu a few extra glances, gritted his teeth and felt that it was embarrassing to be yelled at by him just now.

That Liao San came up with a bow and arrow, and Wang Changfeng, who had a broken leg, was still leaning against the wall with a bow and arrow in his hand. He closed his eyes and rested. He opened his eyes and looked at her just now, as if they were saying , "I see that you are usually aggressive, but now you are timid."

Lu Lingzhi flushed with embarrassment, and she swore with her trembling fists that she, Lu Lingzhi, was brought up as a man since she was a child, so she couldn't let that half-blind Zhou Xiuwu look down on her.

She looked at Zhou Xiuwu gloomyly. Zhou Xiuwu didn't have time to take care of her. After setting up the defense at the city gate, he hurried to the gate to make arrangements.

The little girl followed the direction in which his back was leaving, and glanced at the pile of stones on one side, thinking, if someone climbs up, I will hit him with a stone and let his head be opened. Anyway, those people outside the city are so stupid. It's useless to keep your mind.

Thinking of something, she pressed her bosom again, and when she came out, she kicked a pair of scissors, if someone used a rope to climb up, she would cut the rope.

Thinking of the sharp horn sound and the deafening footsteps, the little girl who was thinking about how to be brave was pulled out of her imagination, and her face turned pale again.

Yu Miaomiao had been standing for a long time, her legs were already numb, no matter whether it fit or not, she just sat down and watched the movements of the enemies within her sight.

Several trebuchets were pushed out, and the people who operated the trebuchets became living targets. Under the intensive arrow rain offensive from our own side, intermittent stones were mostly smashed on the walls and city gates, with muffled noises. Accompanied by the roar of the warrior's charge, the city tower trembled faintly.

On the one hand, someone launched a strong attack, resisting the big log intending to hit the city gate, but was forced back by arrows and stones, but Yu Miaomiao did not see the scene of climbing up with a ladder and dying alive in his imagination.

The sharp sound of the arrow piercing the sky, the fine sound of piercing into the flesh, the wailing of stones falling to the ground or hitting people are all clearly audible, all these are mixed into a bloody and tragic wailing.

She watched quietly, her mind was blank, she bit her lower lip tightly, letting herself get used to the killing scene, without fear or retreat, no one is born without fear of the battlefield.

The archer who was originally standing side by side with her was shot by the opponent's crossbow from time to time and was carried down. The person who was still alive before suddenly fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

A body fell limply, with warm blood splashing on Yu Miaomiao's hands, which seemed to be burning.

Before she could react, someone had already filled the vacancy and continued to throw stones down the city to block the soldiers who came to attack the city.

With a few "pops", her eyes suddenly darkened, but someone blocked the shield and stood in front of her, and the bamboo arrows fell one after another.

Yu Miaomiao has become numb from the initial fear.Forget about being afraid, and calm down even more.

*
Prince's camp area.

Every once in a while, messengers come to report the situation of the battle.

Two hours have passed, and the stalemate is still in, but the number of casualties is increasing, and Zhao Chi's face is getting uglier.

He kicked the case over and suddenly heard a commotion outside, a man shouting.
