I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 221

After half an hour.

In Jing'an City, the battalions have assembled.

At the top is the newly established broken camp.

Everyone was carrying a huge shield and stood upright, their eyes full of determination.

After that came the infantry, including axemen and spearmen, and then the archers, flanked by armored cavalry.

Before the war, the commanders are still doing the final mobilization.

outside the city.

Bai Qi's army is already in formation.

Thousands of musketeers stood straight in place, looking forward.

A cannon was pushed up, and the muzzle was aimed at the city wall.

"put!"

One command.

The artillery blasted deafeningly.

at the same time.

Inside the city, the catapults had been loaded, and with an order, they launched a counterattack against the enemies outside the city.

A piece of flying stone fell and smashed outside the city, splashing a burst of smoke and dust.

Followed by.

The south gate slowly opened.

Countless soldiers rushed out, lined up in long formations, held their shields, and marched towards the enemy!

Seeing this scene, the Musketeers raised their muskets one after another, aimed at them, and fired projectiles.

It's just that, with such a long distance, they couldn't hit the enemy at all, and could only watch them getting closer and closer.

As time passed, the broken camp got closer and closer to the Musketeers, forcing the Musketeers to retreat continuously.

After a while.

In the deafening noise and the sky full of smoke and dust.

The two groups of people fought together.

Less than half an hour.

The Musketeers were beaten and retreated steadily. Although they were not to the point of throwing away their helmets and armor, they were not much worse.

city ​​wall.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ping showed excitement on his face, and said loudly:

"What did the general say! Once these Musketeers are approached, they will be lambs to be slaughtered!"

"Haven't made much effort to break the camp, and the fucker will be killed!"

"It's ridiculous that such a bunch of trash have surrounded Jing'an City for two months!"

aside.

When the deputy general heard this, dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes, and he was puzzled at the same time.

The musketeers in front of them always felt a little different from usual.

When reloading, it's nothing more than being in a hurry, and the cooperation between the front row and the back row is much worse than that of the soldiers who besieged the city before.

Is it
This time the siege is not dry people?
At this point, the deputy general looked at Zhao Ping and expressed his thoughts.

Zhao Ping frowned when he heard this, and said coldly, "If it's not a dry person, who else could it be?"

The deputy general explained: "After Bai Qi captured Jiannan Road, most of the soldiers in Jiannan Road Guards were recruited. Maybe these people."

"Are you trying to say that Bai Qi sent cannon fodder to besiege the city, creating an illusion of being weak and making the general underestimate the enemy?"

Zhao Ping looked at the lieutenant general, and when he spoke, there was no expression on his face.

The deputy general hesitated for a moment, and replied: "The end general thinks, it's not impossible."

Hearing this, Zhao Ping became completely angry, stared wide-eyed, looked at the lieutenant general, gritted his teeth and said, "This general finally understands why only 5 people in Baiqi have been able to besiege Jing'an City for so long. It turns out that Jing'an City has you A cowardly rat like a rat!"

The lieutenant was slightly dazed, and opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself.

Before he could speak, he heard Zhao Ping say:

"Since you are afraid of death, you shouldn't come to the front line!"

The deputy general gritted his teeth and said loudly: "The last general is not afraid of death! He is just afraid of being tricked by the enemy!"

"What kind of treachery? A mere [-] mob, even if they set up an ambush behind them, what kind of storm can they cause?"

The lieutenant wanted to say something else.

Zhao Ping waved his big hand expressionlessly, and said coldly:
"If you're afraid of death, just say it, there's no need to make it up!"

"After all, this general's subordinates cannot tolerate people who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"From now on, you are no longer the deputy general of this general, and you don't need to ask about this war!"

When the deputy general heard this, his body trembled slightly, and he was silent for a long time, after all he just let out a sigh in his heart, cupped his hands and said: "The final general will leave."

Then, he turned and left, leaving behind a lonely figure.

Zhao Ping looked at him with disdain on his face, and looked into the distance.

The dry people have been completely defeated, and many people even dropped their weapons in order to escape.

Even the artillery was left in place.

see this scene.

A sharp light burst out from Zhao Ping's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he gave an order.

"Leave 3 people to defend the city!"

"The rest of the soldiers, prepare enough food and grass, and attack in an all-round way!"

"Within seven days, recover Jiannan Road!"

When everyone heard this, they really wanted to ask if they were too hasty.

But thinking of the fate of the former lieutenant general, he swallowed his words back and just bowed his hands in salute.

"The last will obey!"

Jiannan Road.

Between Anren Mansion and Jing'an Mansion, tens of thousands of Zhou people, carrying cement, worked hard, and built a towering city wall and blockhouses in the open space.

aside.

The Ganren are checking their weapons and preparing for the coming war.

Zhao Xuanfeng, the former commander of Yanbei, saw this scene with complicated expressions and mixed emotions in his heart.

he knows.

With the support of these fortifications, the 20 troops sent by His Majesty the Emperor are no match for Bai Qi at all.

When they left Jing'an City and came to Jiannan Road, they would find that Bai Qi had built a slaughterhouse for them here.

Artillery, muskets, with the charge of the heavy cavalry.

An army of 20 is no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

of course.

These were not enough to make him despair.

After all, even if the entire army is wiped out with 20 people, as long as the Huben army is still there, it will not hurt the root.

What makes him desperate is
Every fortification in Jiannan Road was built willingly by Zhou people!
Ganren just explained the situation in each village, and without any coercion, he recruited a large number of migrant workers.

Just give them a bite to eat, and they will tirelessly build fortifications for the dry people and fight against their own compatriots.

Because they understand it in their hearts.

Once Jiannan Road falls back under the control of Zhou State, the fields allocated to them by the Qianren will be taken back by the court.

Compared with the identity of the Zhou people, they care more about the land they get.

Zhao Xuanfeng understood this very well.

After all, for his own benefit, he abandoned his identity as a Zhou man, as well as his former beliefs, and worked for Qianren.

but.

Seeing the smiles on the faces of countless people from Zhou, he still couldn't bear to look straight at him. He felt that everything in front of him was a great irony to him, the former Great Zhou Xungui!
Take a deep breath and calm your emotions.

Zhao Xuanfeng continued to wipe the weapon in his hand.

At most one day, the vanguard of the 20 army will arrive here.

Before a war, it is the most basic duty of a soldier to ensure that his weapons are in good condition.

the other side.

The army led by Zhao Ping is still on its way.

"General, at most one day, the army can reach Anren Mansion!"

The deputy general stood aside and said respectfully.

Zhao Ping looked at the map in his hand, frowned slightly, and said in doubt: "I'm almost at Anren Mansion, why haven't I encountered an enemy yet?"

The deputy general hesitated for a moment, and replied: "The final general thought that it might be the battle of Jing'an City, which made Bai Qi frightened and fled without fighting."

Zhao Ping heard this, glanced at him, and fell silent.

Although he didn't take Bai Qi seriously, he also knew that since this person dared to besiege the city with 5 people, he must be very courageous and would never give up Anrenfu city easily.

after all.

The city walls of Anren Fucheng are not inferior to Jing'an Fucheng.

If he chooses to stick to the city, he can hold on for at least a month or two!
"It just doesn't feel right."

Zhao Ping frowned and muttered to himself.

next second.

He saw a white horse galloping towards him.

Stop in front of Zhao Ping.

A disheveled, ragged cavalryman, with a look of panic, said loudly:

"General! It's not good! An enemy army suddenly appeared outside Jing'an City and is attacking the city!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ping's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

"how can that be!"

There is only one road between Jiannan Road and Jianbei Road, with mountains on both sides.

How could the enemy army bypass his commanding army and appear in front of Jing'an City!
"I don't believe it, but there is indeed a large army attacking the city!"

The cavalry said while panting heavily.

Zhao Ping took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, "How many people are there?"

The cavalry replied: "At least 3 people! Even more!"

It stands to reason that it is difficult for 3 people to capture a city with [-] defenders.

But Bai Qi's army is different.

They have artillery dedicated to siege, and they can easily blast open a city gate.

3 people stormed a city gate, and they were able to take it down in a short time without fear of death!
In addition, the most important thing is that the people he stayed in Jing'an City were mobs with low combat power, weak will, and no commanding generals.

According to Bai Qi's previous siege efficiency, at most one day, Jing'an City would fall.

Thinking of this.

Zhao Ping frowned tightly, lost in thought.

After estimating the distance between the army and Jing'an City, he quickly realized that it was too late for him to return to defense and could only advance.

"Bai Qi led the army to attack the city, and the interior of Anren Mansion must be empty! Let's continue to advance and capture Anren Mansion, and we will be able to form a siege and trap Bai Qi in Jing'an City!"

After making such a decision.

He looked at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Pass on General Ben's order, speed up the march, and strive to regain Jiannan Road as soon as possible!"

The cavalryman was stunned and asked, "General, where is Jing'an City?"

Zhao Pingdao: "Recovering Jiannan Road is equivalent to cutting off Bai Qi's supplies. At that time, Jing'an City is just a lonely city, so what if we give it to him!"

When everyone heard this, their faces were stunned, and they didn't say any more.

An hour later.

There is still a hundred miles away from Anren Mansion.

The scout who explored the road came to Zhao Ping and told:

"General, there is a city wall ahead, blocking the only way to Anren Mansion!"

Zhao Ping's eyes widened, and he repeated in disbelief: "City wall?"

The scout looked a little weird and nodded.

A trance appeared in Zhao Ping's eyes, and he muttered to himself: "In just two months, how could they build a city wall out of thin air."

After a moment of silence.

As if he had thought of something, he suddenly picked up the map in his hand, read it twice carefully, and found that he and the 17 people under him were blocked by Bai Qi!

"Damn it for nothing!"

By now, he has realized that the former deputy general was right.

The 2 people who besieged Jing'an City were indeed bait, and their purpose was to lure him out of the city.

Send out [-] cannon fodder, pretending to attack the city.

The real main force is hiding on the mountain, waiting for an opportunity to move.

On the only way to Anren Mansion, fortifications were built to encircle him.

"If you want to realize this tactic, 10 people may not be enough!"

"Qian Kingdom must have sent additional reinforcements to Bai Qi!"

"There is also the city wall, which cannot be completed in a short period of time. It must have been built a long time ago!"

"Dongchang didn't notice such important news!"

"how can that be!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Ping's eyes burst out with a strong killing intent, he looked at the guard beside him, and ordered: "Go and chop off the head of the eunuch accompanying the army!"

The personal guard was slightly startled, and after confirming that he had heard correctly, hesitation appeared on his face.

After all, the eunuch who accompanied the army represented His Majesty, so it would be inappropriate to kill him directly like this.

Seeing this, Zhao Ping became even more annoyed, and said coldly: "This general is the chief general, as long as you obey the order, I will bear all the consequences!"

Hearing this, the personal guard didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and hurriedly said: "Yes!"

Zhao Ping withdrew his gaze and looked forward, his eyes burst out with a strong fighting intent, and he squeezed out a word from his teeth.

"Camp up on the spot, rest overnight, and attack the city tomorrow morning!"

time flies.

The next day.

Under Zhao Ping's command, an army of 17 launched an attack on the city wall in front of us!

Catapults shoot flying rocks.

Archers draw bows and shoot arrows.

With huge shields on their backs, the broken camp approached the city wall step by step.

The swordsman followed closely behind.

city ​​wall.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion looked at the enemy who was several times their size, their expressions were still calm, and they operated their firearms calmly.

Cannonballs were fired from the city wall and hit the crowd, making a thunderous noise and splashing a piece of mud.

The musketeers, waiting for the approach of the enemy, tap the trigger at a suitable distance to fire the projectile.

In the gap between loading ammunition, another musketeer will fill the original position.

With each round of shooting, a group of enemies fell down.

soon.

The broken camp in front couldn't bear it and began to retreat.

under the city walls.

The smoke gradually dissipated, leaving behind a pile of corpses.

the next few days.

Zhao Ping commanded the soldiers to launch attacks again and again, each time they were repelled by the artillery on the city wall.

In the end, there were very few bolts and stone bullets left.

The original 17 people lost 12 to [-] percent, leaving only [-] people.

Low morale.

Effective attacks can no longer be launched.

Originally full of confidence, Zhao Ping, who planned to regain Jiannan Road within half a month, sat in the camp, unkempt and dazed.

this moment.

He finally realized.

With his current situation, it seems that there is only one way left—surrender!
after all.

The front and rear are surrounded.

The two sides are either the territory of Yan State or towering mountains.

They ran out of ammunition and food, and if they dragged on, without food, they would still have only a dead end.

long silence.

He finally made a decision, looked at everyone, with a firm face, and said in a deep voice:

"Kill all the horses, let the soldiers eat and drink enough, and attack the city again in two days!"

There was another sentence hidden in my heart, but I didn't say it:
This time, if you still can't attack, you have to surrender
