Chapter 344: more ferocious siege
Chapter 344 More ferocious siege
The weather is getting colder and colder, and there is no green on the land outside Changzhou City.
The dark red and russet earth became extremely hard due to the cold.
According to the last time, three days have passed, and the offensive of the Jie people has become more and more fierce.
The rain of arrows could no longer stop their footsteps. Once the shield blocked them, they could continue to move towards the gate of Changzhou City.
Seeing that the Jie people were about to approach the city, Ruan Ye raised his hand indifferently to signal to throw stones and rockets together.
Because Yu Xie has not been idle for the past few days, after leaving the city from the East City Gate, he searched for a lot of raw materials for making gunpowder.
Gunpowder rockets give them some reprieve.
In this case... There is no problem in staying for another seven days.
Although Ruan Youqing didn't want to sit still like this, she wanted to go out of the city to find foreign aid, but...she was worried about leaving her family here.
After a few more days like this, the Jie tribe finally reached the city.
The ladder was erected on the city wall, and the Jie soldiers were already climbing up with wild smiles.
Ruan Ye ordered people to drop rocks, cut ladders, and pour hot oil with a stern face, but they couldn't match the large number of Jie people.
After all, there were still one or two lucky Jie soldiers who climbed onto the city wall.
After two of them climbed up, the first thing they saw was Ruan Youqing who had just arrived.
Seeing such a delicate beauty, the Jie soldiers couldn't help but have some nasty thoughts, and rushed towards Ruan Youqing with a wretched smile.
At this time, they didn't pay attention. Under such circumstances, no one would protect such a delicate beauty.
A beauty can make people lose their souls with a frown and a smile.
And then… lost his life.
Ruan Youqing brought people over when he heard that the Jie people had attacked the city wall.
As a result... as soon as she walked up to the city gate, two big and three thick Jie soldiers rushed towards her with smirks on their faces.
Ruan Youqing frowned slightly, and then chopped without saying a word.
Subsequently, Qiaoer and Ziya brought by Ruan Youqing also encountered this situation.
When the soldiers of the Jie nationality who are attracted to **** see women, they subconsciously feel that women are easy to handle.
As a result... Qiaoer and Ziya were more aggressive than the other.
The expressions of the Jie soldiers were more and more shocked when they were kicked off the city wall.
After realizing that the ladders of the Jie people were getting denser, Ruan Youqing led someone to slash at the enemy's ladders with a cold face.
Cutting ladders is not the same as cutting people, you must have strength in your hands.
Therefore, the figure of Ruan Youqing wielding the knife made the eyes of Ruan Ye beside him turn dark.
His family is young and clean, which makes him even more impressed.
Although he knew that his old general would not train Ruan Youqing as an ordinary lady, he really didn't expect... Ruan Youqing, who was raised in the capital, was more adaptable to the battlefield than Ruan Youning and even Ruan Lingjun who had been with them all the time.
Her stern face seemed to be that of a...veteran who had experienced many killings.
"Daddy."
Ruan Youqing ran to his side at some point, because of the fight just now, her body was already splattered with blood.
The indifferent and stern attitude no longer exists in front of Ruan Ye, and Ruan Youqing at this time seems to be still the naive and delicate young lady of the Ruan family.
But Ruan Ye already knew in his heart that no one should underestimate his little daughter.
Ruan Youqing didn't pay attention to Ruan Ye's expression, and only continued softly: "Father, the Jie people were not well prepared for the attack before. But today...the shields, ladders and other equipment have been used, presumably...they won't retreat easily. We... have to prepare for the worst..."
Ruan Ye clenched the long knife in his hand, his face heavy and depressed.
They all knew in their hearts that even if they could last seven days without waiting for reinforcements, the opponent still had no less than 60,000 to 70,000 troops.
And the scorching sun should no longer be like before, only sending a few thousand people to attack.
And this small-scale siege...as if the scorching sun was playing with them.
Thinking of this, Ruan Ye's face darkened again.
This feeling of not being able to fight with each other is really frustrating.
It's like a clever woman can't cook without rice.
Without troops, that's all they can do.
Ruan Youqing couldn't help but sighed softly when she saw her father's eyes were heavy.
It seems that there is nothing to rely on when returning from rebirth.
Can't see hope but can't give up easily...
If Changzhou City is really going to be breached...then she must do everything possible to persuade her father to abandon the city.
Save your life...to start over.
At this moment, Ruan Youqing suddenly felt a strong wind coming, and before turning back, Ruan Youqing immediately reached out to grab Ruan Ye and took a step aside.
Afterwards, an arrow was shot on the battle flag beside them.
When Ruan Ye looked into the distance with a livid face, he happened to see the scorching sun and waved the bow and arrow in his hand provocatively.
Ruan Youqing also clenched his fist angrily.
Can't be distracted any more, the scorching sun is so good at shooting, and I don't know when it will attack with arrows like just now.
Before Ruan Ye could speak, Ruan Youqing had already jumped up and was about to pull out the arrow on the battle flag.
Seeing this, Ruan Ye hurriedly scolded the danger in panic.
Sure enough, another arrow shot over quickly, heading straight for the back of Ruan Youqing's head.
Lie Ri understands that the people of Ningguo cannot bear this kind of insult.
But his actions were also expected by Ruan Youqing.
She grabbed the arrow on the battle flag with one hand, and the flagpole with the other. After hearing the sound of the arrow piercing through the air, she immediately let go of her hand, wrapped her legs around the flagpole, and stuck her whole body upside down on the flagpole.
The arrow shot to nothing.
After dodging, Ruan Youqing immediately slid down from the flagpole.
Thanks to her light body, the flagpole will not be easily broken. Her actions are naturally not something ordinary people can do.
Amazing courage, body flexibility, and quick response are all indispensable.
More importantly...have the weight that the flagpole can hold.
Therefore, she was able to easily dodge the enemy's attack and pull out the extremely insulting arrow.
Ruan Ye walked up to her with lingering fear, and sternly reprimanded: "Do you know how dangerous you are like this!"
Seeing his pale face, Ruan Youqing knew that he had been a little reckless just now.
Therefore, her tone softened and she gently grabbed Ruan Ye's wrist: "Father, I'm sorry, You Qing made you worry. But now... it's not the time for you to scold... After the Jie tribe retreats, how can you scold Xiao Qing?" It’s all right.”
Ruan Ye looked at Ruan Youqing's pitiful appearance, stroked his forehead angrily and distressedly, and kept silent.
The scorching sun in the distance naturally saw the scene just now, and he asked a lieutenant beside him greedily, "Do you know who that figure was just now?"
The deputy general saw the greed in Lie Yang's eyes, and quickly said: "General, what I found out before was that Ruan Ye's two daughters are both in the city. Presumably... it should be one of her daughters."
Lieyang rubbed his stubble-covered chin, then waved his hand, and smiled arrogantly: "Then... there will be no more delay! Today, all the soldiers of the Jie tribe will fight to capture Changzhou City before sunset! The Japanese generals have also figured it out. Except for the rocket that can explode, they don’t have much lethality! As long as we can avoid the explosion, we will be half successful! You pass on the order, and anyone who can follow the general to charge Those who enter Changzhou City, the women in the city can play freely! Those who are unfortunate enough to die will treat their families generously and protect them for life. Regardless of life or death, as long as they capture Changzhou City, they will be rewarded!"
After the order was conveyed, all the soldiers of the Jie tribe were as high-spirited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
