Chapter 1416
How did Yuan Zongdi not know the intention of the king?
Sun Chuanting was not easy to get along with. At the beginning, even the king of Chuang almost fell into the hands of Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou. Only 18 people escaped, and it took a lot of danger to recover.
Now that Sun Chuanting is back, how can King Chuang not pay attention? Sun Chuanting's tens of thousands of horses, and the prince of Chuang led an army of 200,000 people to meet the enemy, which is evident.
If the fierce enemy in Xiangcheng responds to the enemy Sun Chuanting, the consequences will be unpredictable. As the core figure of Li Chuang, he deeply knew that Li Chuang was afraid of the enemy in Xiangcheng.
Therefore, he had to hold back the enemy in Xiangcheng, and he must not let the enemy in Xiangcheng touch Jiaxian.
Yuan Zongdi was not an idiot. After receiving the order from Li Chuang, he had a plan. He drove 70,000 or 80,000 attached cannon fodders from the Western District to the south of the city, and then made a loud noise for the troops under his command to enter and leave. The 'elite' army was ambushed at the point where Xiangcheng must pass through to Jiaxian.
Then he pressed his restless heart and waited secretly.
He knows very well that once Jiaxian decides the winner, he will respond accordingly. If Jiaxian wins, he will prepare for the imminent destruction of Xiangcheng. If Jia County was defeated, he would have to prepare for escape.
Yuan Zongdi was pacing back and forth, holding back his anxiety, but he couldn't hold back the rage in his heart.
About noon, a thief came in a hurry, pushed open the door, and there was a loud scream inside the door.
The head of the thief should not be seen, and he only said to Yuan Zongdi, who was abusing the woman: "Head of the family, there are bright thieves coming from the south!"
Yuan Zongdi started, pinch As soon as the hand holding the woman's neck was hard, he twisted the woman's neck, and he stood up at once, pulling up a robe and draping it over his body: "Is it a thief from Xiangcheng?!"
"If Unsurprisingly, it should be."
The thief said.
Yuan Zongdi said again: "How many people are there?"
"No...not Grand Pure One Chu." The thief lowered his head.
Yuan Zongdi un'ed, strode away, walked to the thief's head, took out the waist knife from the thief's head, and fiercely stabbed the thief's head in the opposite direction.
"I don't know? Then what's the use of you?"
He kicked him away, Yuan Zongdi loudly shouted: "Come here, prepare a horse for me !"
When Yuan Zongdi hurried to the front of the city, there was chaos outside the city.
70,000 to 80,000 refugees rushed to the dolphins, their howls shook the world. And behind those refugees, an army lined up neatly like tofu cubes is slowly advancing!
"Li Ergou, what's going on!"
Yuan Zong was the first to catch a thief next to him: "The old man made you look at the refugees, you are That's how you see it?!"
Li Ergou was tall and beard, but in front of Yuan Zongdi, a seemingly delicate man, he was shiver coldly.
Yuan Zongdi hated to slap him over with a slap, but how could he not know?
Since he has led the army to this point, although he has never fought against the Ming thieves in Xiangcheng, the small-scale battles have continued every day.
Especially in the first few days, the thieves under his command are just like him. Although he is afraid of the Ming Army in Xiangcheng, he is still lucky that he has never fought a real thing.
But the facts gave them a slap in the face.
Whether it was a battle between the scouts Ye Wuhui or a small-scale battle between dozens of people and hundreds of people, they were all defeated, and they were even strangled many times.
So afraid of being beaten, he didn't dare to fight again, and retreated into the city.
He drove the refugees to the south of the city before, and it was his intention to set up a barrier. Since it is a barrier, it has to be of some use, so people watch, if the enemy in Xiangcheng arrives, it is better to organize a little resistance and consume the guns and arrows of the enemy in Xiangcheng.
But didn't expect that the thief under his command had been beaten by the enemy in Xiangcheng. The first thing he thought of when he saw the enemy was not to resist, but to run away - leaving tens of thousands Attached from the running city.
Standing at the top of the city, Yuan Zong could see clearly at first sight. There were not many enemies coming to Xiangcheng, only two or three thousand people. If you can organize it well, you can stop them with only the seven or eighty thousand refugees outside the city.
But now?
70,000 or 80,000 refugees, more than 20 times the number, collapsed as if they were driven sheep by two or three thousand people.
No matter how capable Yuan Zongdi is, there is nothing he can do now. Even if you send an army out now, it will be of no use at all, but will be smashed by the frenzied refugees.
"Stand on the city gate, never open the door!" Yuan Zongdi shouted: "Let the men be prepared, put the guns up for the veterans, and those who dare to come here will save their lives. Get down!"
Under the city, there are not many refugees gathered at the city gate, and they frantically rushed to the city gate, yelling for the 'Rebels' to open the door.
But the gazes cast on the city head were all icy cold.
Among the chaotic troops outside the city, Zheng Jiu abandoned his horse and did not ride. He only carried a long spear and lined up in the spearmen array. As the drum beats like a wall, rows of long spears advance and retreat, and countless corpses fall at their feet.
Apart from the drums, there was only the sound of heavy breathing.
The 250-strong horse army on each flank guarded and slashed the rogue thieves who were rushing along to prevent them from attacking the army formation from the flanks. In the formation, ten tiger squat guns on the carriage were supported by the army formation and slowly advanced. Surrounding the tiger squat guns were five hundred artillerymen with fire guns. Around the artillery were five hundred archers.
The artillery did not fire, and the rogue attachment has collapsed, so there is no need to waste resources. What's more, as soon as the guns and fire guns were fired, the smoke filled the air, obscuring the sight.
Only archers, who are sparse, occasionally shoot an arrow under the premise that their arms are not sore.
The main force of the killing is the spearmen in front.
Zheng Wu killed one person with a single shot. His face was flushed red, and the blood in his chest was agitated. He is already looking forward to how much military feedback he will get after this victory!
Not only him, but the entire army, every soldier, thought about it.
Murder! Merit! Military feedback!
They took heavy and hard steps, neither fast nor slow, neither hurried nor impetuous, just killing. It's just killing, and the more you kill, the smoother it becomes, and the more tidy it becomes!
Every soldier is transformed in the slaughter!
"Lord General!"
A battalion general beside him prompts: "It's been a mile and a half!"
Zheng Jiu's excitement for killing He woke up in the middle, looked up and saw a thief in the forest at the top of Yuzhou City in the distance.
"It's a mile and a half?"
"Yes, my lord! The thieves will fire, or enough is enough!"
Zheng Jiu nodded, and looked the head again : "Shoot a cannon? Haha...Are the soldiers afraid?!"
No one responded.
Zheng Jiu laughed wildly: "The thief will not fire, the grandfather will fire! Go half a mile further!"
The army did not stop, the imposing manner of muffled killing , more and more prosperous!
At the top of the city, I don't know how many thieves and soldiers are inexplicably terrified - is this a team of killing machines? !
I finally heard the cannon. But the thief in the city couldn't hold the pressure. Someone fired randomly. So without waiting for Yuan Zongdi to roar, more than a dozen cannons of various colors at the top of the city fired all of them in the first round, but not even a single soldier from Zheng Jiu's department was hit.
Zheng Jiu grinned: "mob, thieves too! Come on, show these thieves the firepower of the headquarters!"
