Su curtain has a cover

Chapter 74 Siege

Because he had been mentally prepared for a long time, the shame of Yanzhou was vivid in his memory. Although the imperial court couldn't afford to lose Suiyun Pass, don't think that an old cow dragging a broken cart will suddenly become a thousand-mile horse.

For the reinforcements, it is estimated that even the coach has not been finalized yet!

Yuan Qiren was patrolling on the top of the city tower, while the Beiliang soldiers below the city were speaking bad Dayuan dialect and insulting them indiscriminately.

The captain who followed him said: "Boss, they seem to be in a hurry."

Yuan Qiren squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, where there were endless tents, silent but with hidden dangers.

"lay down!"

A stern reprimand came from the side, and the captain frowned: "What's wrong?"

In the corner of the battlements, there was a young archer with red eyes. His hand was held by the corporal next to him, as if he wanted to shoot an arrow but was blocked.

When the officer asked, the corporal leader was a little nervous. Before he could speak, the soldiers around him said: "Those barbarians are too much! I'm sure I can shoot him!"

The head of the corps was sweating anxiously, but he couldn't speak, so he could only push him hard: "It's up to you!"

The captain's face darkened: "Archery is absolutely not allowed if you don't reach Sankeshu! Don't you know this order!"

Xiaobing was a newborn calf, and when he saw Yuan Qiren was there, not only was he not afraid, he was even slightly excited.

So he stiffened his neck and said, "Even if I don't reach Sankeshu, I can definitely shoot there!"

Wu Chang cursed angrily in a low voice: "Shut up!"

The captain was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he said simply: "The military order is like a mountain, how can you play tricks? Come on! Drag it down and hit the thirty army sticks hard!"

The little soldier was stunned, and he suddenly stepped forward: "I don't accept it! You can't shoot yourself, so you won't let others shoot?"

The soldiers next to him carried out their orders without any hesitation. Seeing their calm faces, the soldier finally panicked. He struggled hard with the bow in his hand: "Really, I can really shoot it! I have been hunting with my father since I was a child." -"

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged down.Order was restored on the city wall, and the soldiers standing behind the battlements kept their eyes on each other, as if they didn't care what happened just now.

The captain glanced around, feeling somewhat satisfied.

Yuan Qiren walked to the place where the little soldier was struggling just now, bent down and picked up the bow and arrows scattered on the ground.

He didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little condensed.Just as the captain was about to speak, Yuan Qiren suddenly bowed his bow and set an arrow towards the sky.

Two mournful cries were heard from afar, and the two birds that had just flown to Suiyun Pass, with the same arrow attached to their body, fell down in a daze.

"This is a battlefield, and you are warriors. What is needed is not so much martial arts, but your absolute obedience to orders!" Yuan Qiren held his bow with a solemn expression: "Do you understand?"

"understand!"

The resounding sound spread all over the city wall, and when the defense was changed, some veterans knew the beginning of the incident, and taunted the recruits who didn't know where they were, "Just like you, you think you are capable, and you are really going to the battlefield!" , It is estimated that he died before even seeing the enemy's face."

These recruits were said to be recruits, and most of them were recruited by Yuan Qiren after he came to Suiyun Pass.

After training for a year or two, this is the first time to face the battlefield.After the panic, standing on the high city wall is the time for the blood to flow.

Most of those veterans have experienced fighting. Maybe they are not very good at killing the enemy, but they have their own strengths in saving their lives: "What are we? We are soldiers and pawns! General Yuan is so powerful, how can he not know what to do?" To do? What we have to do is one command and one action."

When the defense was changed, it was also when the soldiers were eating. The recruits gathered around the veterans with steamed buns. Some of them were still unconvinced: "But we don't understand why there are some orders. It's weird! In fact, it's not just that idiot who can shoot through three trees, As long as you have strength in your hand, no one can shoot through it!"

The veteran took a big bite of the steamed bun, and before the wind cooled the soup, he poured it down to get full.

He patted his stomach and burped, and said contentedly: "Is it stupid? I don't understand now. As long as I don't die, I will understand in the future? For those of you who have too much shit and are not smart, let's leave it in Zhenbei... Under the command of a stricter general, I don't know how many times my legs have been discounted!"

The old soldier was right, the secret of the order not to shoot arrows beyond the distance of three trees was finally revealed on the day Beiliang soldiers attacked the city.

Ye Gebu scolded the formation every day, kept moving forward, and finally measured the safe range.

On the fifteenth day, the rain was much lighter, and when the broken cloud was closed and cooking, Beiliang rushed directly under the morning light.

The dense army swarmed up, the guards blew their horns, and everyone immediately took their positions.The archers on the battlements draw their bows breathlessly, waiting for the order to shoot.

"Full bow - shoot -"

After the command to elongate the tone appeared, the archers in the first row conditioned to pull the strings and let go.

When they were replaced, some of them reacted bluntly, as if they shot farther than before.

The dense rain of arrows rushed towards their faces, and what shocked the Beiliang soldiers was that only a small part of them were within the calculated danger range.

However, those arrows that had been tepid in the past have peeled off their kind appearance and revealed a ferocious face.

The screams were endless, and Lie Xumi, the commander of Beiliang who was commanding from the rear, had a cold breath in his throat.

The losses on the front line kept coming, and the elite vanguard composed of three parts was almost killed and injured under the rain of arrows that shouldn't have been so strong.

However, things have come to this point, and they can only suffer from this dark loss.Liexu's red eyes gave the order to continue the attack. He looked at the huge fortress in front of him that kept strangling his own warriors, and he couldn't stop churning with various tyrannical thoughts.

The non-resistance they met in Yanzhou back then, and Dayuan's subservience and humiliation over the years, have made their new generation of leaders no longer believe in the fear of their parents.

From their point of view, Da Yuan is a delicious piece of fat, and they can come and enjoy it anytime they want.

The God of War, the Changying Army and the Suppressing Northern Army are nothing more than a group of soft bones that look a little better.

Therefore, when Lie Xumi, who was full of ambition, was blocked by Suiyun Pass, although he was irritable, he was not anxious.

But this secret loss made him furious, thinking that the generals of Dayuan dared to use conspiracy and tricks, it was simply unforgivable!

Massacre the city!Must slaughter the city!

After the order to continue the attack was issued, the soldiers of Beiliang stepped on the corpses of their clansmen and charged forward with arrows pouring down like rain.

After finally crossing the moat, as soon as the siege ladder was erected, rolling stones and logs began to fall from it.

The tall siege ladder was knocked down, and after falling down with a bang, it crushed countless soldiers together with the rolling stones.

Seeing the tragic situation under the city wall, Lie Xumi finally calmed down.

The sharp sound of horns came from the Beiliang camp, and the soldiers who closed the broken cloud gate were pleasantly surprised to find that the barbarians had started to retreat.

Yuan Qiren has been standing on the wall supervising the battle. Seeing this situation, someone immediately called for the battle: "General, the last general is willing to lead a thousand Qingqi out of the city to pursue!"

Yuan Qiren shook his head, he stared closely at the camp in Beiliang: "They retreat without chaos, there will definitely be support from the rear."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a cavalry rushing straight from the tent.

This time the official siege started with a majestic grandeur, but ended with something neither fish nor fowl.The momentum in Suiyun Pass was very strong, and the fear of Beiliang subconsciously decreased a lot.

The situation on the battlefield was good, but Yuan Qiren not only didn't want to drink tea, but even frowned even more tightly.

"General, why are you so worried?"

The school lieutenant beside him has followed him to the north and south for more than ten years.Yuan Qiren sighed, he sat in the hall wearing armor.Just as the generals who were discussing affairs left, the sand table in the center was placed in a mess.

"I'm worried. First, I don't know when the reinforcements will arrive. Second, the opponent this time is no small matter."

The captain nodded: "There is still no specific news about the reinforcements in the military newspaper. Heh, those old gentlemen sitting in the high hall, really think that they can get it if the broken cloud pass is broken?"

Yuan Qiren pinched his forehead: "The commander-in-chief of Beiliang this time is called Lie Xumi? Apart from knowing that he is the nephew of King Neidu, is there any other news?"

The captain was a little hesitant: "Some people say that he is actually the illegitimate son of King Neidu... Does that count?"

Yuan Qiren raised his head, and the captain sneered: "You know, there is no code of ethics in Beiliang, and it's very chaotic. The spies said that Lie Xumi was very skilled, and the three sons of Neiduo Wang were severely suppressed by him. attitude.

This time, he was strongly recommended by Nei Duo Wang to raise troops.Nei Duo is the strongest of the three, and the other two naturally have to give face. "

"Liexumi... hiss, why didn't you pay attention to this character before?"

Although they only fought for a few days, the Beiliang camp was orderly and the division of labor was clear.

Obviously the three parts have their own contradictions, but now there is no dispute at all.The siege was thwarted. Although he advanced aggressively at the beginning, he was able to stop the losses in time, and he did not forget to send troops to respond.

Lie Xumi is definitely not an ordinary person.

The school lieutenant spread his hands: "Nei Duo is the farthest away, and they always live by water and grass. They are not interested in the land of Yanzhou, they only need population and production every year.

Looking at it now, compared to the other two who are addicted to Yanzhou's support, the combat power of this one should be equal to their sum. "

"I still know too little." Yuan Qiren regretted: "If there are enough people, why are they so passive."

The captain comforted: "Boss Yuan, don't worry, haven't we already repelled several waves? No matter how powerful Liexu Mi is, as long as we don't go out, he still has nothing to do?"

Yuan Qiren nodded, for the present plan, he could only stick to it.

On the second day, Beiliang didn't feel depressed, and even became more frustrated and courageous.They are like serious wolves, watching the prey vigilantly, dividing labor and cooperating, and trying various methods to attack.

As time goes by, the disadvantages of Broken Cloud Pass become more and more obvious.

Now the inventory is running out, the arrow branches have long been used up, the stones and rolling logs are almost exhausted, and even the food and grass are a little stretched.

The winter in Beiliang is not easy, and the winter in Dayuan has no harvest.The food reserves at Suiyun Pass were brought along with the military pay last time, and the second prince Gao Bin intervened and lost a lot of food. Now that there is a war, the food will run out earlier than expected due to the rapid consumption.

This problem is very serious.
