Chapter 220 Mayi Defensive Battle
Just as Sun Xiangfu thought, firelight in the dark is the best way to convey news, especially in a place like Mayi, which is surrounded by plains for dozens of miles. When the wheat field is on fire, the city walls are drowsy The soldiers noticed something strange.

"Clang, clang, clang"

The alarm bell on the top of the city rang, and the guarding soldiers who had been sleeping in the caves of the city gate opened their eyes sleepily, and began to wear armor and take bows and ran towards the city wall. Soon, they heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes .

"There is a large group of cavalry approaching, quickly bolt the city gate, raise fire, and call on the people to be strong"

The brigade commander of the Unity Battalion in charge of defending the city was called Zhang Kang, and he was also a cautious old soldier. After climbing the city wall, he immediately issued several orders.

When the war starts, time is often so critical. With a quarter of an hour to prepare, enough people in the Unity Battalion will open all the defensive devices, a few huge bolts will be added to the city gate, and the drawbridge over the moat will be raised. Gao Shengsheng, because there may be a war in the surrounding area, the soldiers who had been recruited early in the morning were also called to their positions. When Tuli led more than [-] riders to the city wall, the defenders in the city were basically in a state of battle. up.

The surprise effect in the fantasy was gone, but Tuli still ordered to attack the city with anger on his face. After all, he was the overlord of the party who fought all the year round. Even in the face of a strong city like Mayi, he still had many offensive hands.

Two strong Turkic men whirred a chain dance tied to a ceramic jar, which contained kerosene.

Soon, the pot was thrown into the sky, and when it reached the sky above the ropes that pulled the suspension bridge, a sharp archer under Tuli bent his bow and shot an arrow, smashing the clay pot, and the kerosene was instantly sprinkled everywhere on the rope. Yes, at this time, some rocketmen started to shoot arrows on those ropes, and after a while, flames rose from the ropes. It would not take long before these ropes were burned, and the Turkic cavalry could leap from the suspension bridge. Go straight in and hit the city gate.

If the defenders of the city can block the enemy's attack with only the suspension bridge of the moat, then there is no need to fight the ancient wars. This process just buys some preparation time for the defenders.

At this time, Tang Fengyi had climbed the city wall under the protection of a small number of Sun family guards. Not to mention, this guy has experienced many wars since the end of the Sui Dynasty. He is not good at commanding and killing the enemy, but for those The organization of the civilian husband is very effective.

"Everyone listen to me, don't be afraid. Although there are many enemies, we still have reinforcements. See if there is a fire outside the city. It is our reinforcements who sent us to remind us. After a while, when the Turks approach, we will follow the daylight." Learned, everyone only needs to do one step to start the catapult. When these stones are thrown down, the Turks will definitely be killed. This is military merit! After this battle is over, the emperor will reward you for your merit Yes, at that time, don’t have too many fields, you won’t be able to grow them.”

In war, morale is very important. Tang Fengyi, who talked a lot among the people, made their emotions more stable. You must know that there are only [-] regular soldiers of the United Battalion guarding the city, but there are [-] people in the city.

And Sun Xiangfu is very good at simplifying complicated things, so after Tang Fengyi followed Sun Xiangfu's method, he assigned each of these civilians a simple task, and the execution was no less efficient than professional soldiers.

"bang, bang"

When most of the ropes controlling the suspension bridge were burnt, the suspension bridge inevitably fell down. The armored knights under Tuli quickly crossed the suspension bridge and ran down the city. Naturally, he would not be so stupid as to attack the city with cavalry and rush over. The purpose of the man is similar to burning the suspension bridge. He wants to burn down the gate of Mayi City with kerosene. This kind of thing he got from the Western Regions finally played a role in the battle.

"Arrow"

"Catapult, release"

Tang Fengyi and Zhang Kang gave the order almost at the same time. At the moment when the suspension bridge fell, the flying stones and arrows slammed in this direction together. The Turkic cavalry who rushed up first were smashed to pieces. The lucky one was able to run across the suspension bridge, get close to the city gate, and smash a clay pot weighing more than ten kilograms on the wooden city gate.

There was already a fight under the city of Mayi, so it was meaningless for Sun Xiangfu to set fire to the wheat fields. There was only a few dozen acres of fields left and right, and it would be gone after the burning. Now what he had to consider was how to slow down Tuli's offensive.

"My lord, Tuli's people are concentrating on attacking the east gate, but we can return to the city from the south gate."

Zhang Ke looked at Sun Xiangfu who was thinking of a solution with a worried look on his face, and reminded him.

"That's right! Let's go back to the city first."

Tuli had concluded that there were few soldiers in Mayi City, so naturally he would not waste time and manpower at the four city gates. In fact, in his opinion, the city was already broken, and what he paid was only more than a hundred horsemen and soldiers. Some kerosene, when the kerosene completely burns the city gate, who else can stop him from entering the city with thousands of horses.

But he didn't know that given the opportunity for Sun Xiangfu to enter the city, the difficulty of his attacking the city might increase exponentially.

In Mayi City, there are hundreds of craftsmen in the Sun Mansion and workshops responsible for production. Therefore, there are a large number of weapons and armor stored here. There are few soldiers in Shuozhou. Sun Xiangfu had thought about changing their clothes early in the morning. After replacing them, the Liannu is for safety considerations. After making a batch, all of them are stored in the warehouse, and there are countless arrow boxes and arrow branches.

After Sun Xiangfu entered the city, he immediately went to the warehouse of the workshop. Unexpectedly, Uncle De was also here.

"Young master, this old slave knows that you will be fine. The craftsmen, servants, and death row prisoners you arranged to stay in the mansion have all been brought here. There are a total of 200 people."

Sun Xiangfu was overjoyed when he heard the words, "An old man in a family is like a treasure! Open the warehouse and let everyone move out the things. Let's go to the east gate. Hey, why are you here?"

Uncle De moved away, and Sun Xiangfu saw Yu Xiu'er in a loose cotton armor at a glance. Not to mention, if he was not so familiar with her face, Sun Xiangfu might not have recognized her at a glance. Not only that, she Beside her, Hongmei and Chuntao are also dressed in this outfit.

"I heard from Uncle De that there are only five hundred soldiers guarding the city. I am worried that after the city is broken..."

"Okay, you don't have to worry about my husband coming back, cook more food, clean up for nothing and wait for my husband to come back."

Without too many words, Sun Xiangfu could see the trembling in Yu Xiuer's heart from his expression. Therefore, he tried to use a humorous and happy tone to comfort her. If Ma Yicheng was breached, a lady like her would definitely There was no end to it, but seeing Yu Xiuer's pale face, Sun Xiangfu still thoughtfully embraced her in his arms and stroked her back.

At this moment, Yu Xiu'er could no longer control her emotions, she burst into tears, and the feeling of regret for asking her husband to seek a title lingered in her heart. At this moment, she realized that farming in Guanzhong, or running a restaurant, In fact, it is the best life. Chuntao and Hongmei who are behind her are also crying with her, which makes Sun Xiangfu feel a little bad.

"Hey, hey, I'm still here! Are you going to guard this city?"

A martial artist like Wang Xu hates this kind of picture of love between his sons and daughters the most. After waiting for a while, he said impatiently when he saw that they were still kissing me.

"Okay, let's go back to the mansion quickly! Come here for your husband."

After letting go of Yu Xiu'er, Sun Xiangfu glanced at Wang Xu displeasedly, then got on the horse, gave Yu Xiu'er and the three daughters a reassuring look, whipped the horse, and headed towards the city gate.

There were no fools in the Sun's residence. Under Uncle De's command, everyone carried out the packed weapons in boxes, and filed out of the warehouse to the gate of the city.

Soon, Sun Xiangfu rode to the east gate.

"Old Tang, stop fiddling with that catapult, and take down the civilian husband for me."

In the light of the fire, Sun Xiangfu saw Tang Fengyi, who was anxious to get angry, nestled among the people's husbands, and shouted at him.

The heavy city gate has already caught fire. If the fire is allowed to burn, it will collapse for at most a quarter of an hour. By then, the [-] defenders and [-] civilians on the city wall will not be able to resist Tuli's over [-] cavalry. , and in order to reduce losses, Tuli had already had his horse retreated out of the attack range of the catapults and bows and arrows, and he would only launch an attack when the city gate was burned down.

And Tang Fengyi, who had tried to extinguish the flames on the city gate with water to no avail, was actually at his wits end and wondered if he should slip away first.

"Hey, ah! You're back, good to be back! It's up to you to decide how to fight this battle." Seeing that Sun Xiangfu was already in the city, Tang Fengyi was surprised and ran down from the city wall.

"Quickly, organize the folks, use sandbags and gravel, and pile up a few obstacle lines at the gate of the city."

"This, useful?"

"You'll see if it works in a while."

After finishing speaking, Sun Xiangfu glanced at Wang Xu who was holding a bow and holding a halberd, and said, "My lord, aren't you in a hurry to fight, the city wall will be handed over to you."

The people Wang Xu brought were all archers. If he organized the projectile on the city wall, he could kill many Turkic people. Sun Xiangfu did not rule out the possibility that after his arrangement stopped the Turkic people, they would find a way to climb the city wall. After all, the city wall of Mayi City is very long, and 500 people can't defend it at all. With people like Wang Xu on the wall, the close combat ability of the defenders can also be increased a lot.
