Chapter 299: Siege
In this world, many things are actually like a drama. What you say on your front feet often happens dramatically in the next second.
Just when the eldest grandson Shunde had just finished sighing and was about to get up and go to the training ground to take another look, a rapid horn sound came from the direction of the East City Gate!
"Not good!" As a general, the eldest grandson Shunde was startled and flew towards the east gate!
"What's going on?!" Xiao Han, who also heard the sound of the horn, also got up suddenly, his face full of surprise!
He hadn't been in the barracks for a day or two, and when he heard the sound of the horn, he naturally knew that something had happened!
"Quick, the general has an order! Everyone's ready to fight! Wang Shichong came to call the battle......"
Outside the saltworks, black-clad Overseers run around shouting. And as the Overseers ran by, countless armor-clad soldiers poured out from all directions, heading for the city gates!
"Wang Shichong is attacking the city?! Not good! Xiaodong, let's go to the city! Xiao Han looked at the surging flow of people, and felt that his heart was like a drum! If you don't want to pull Xiaodong up, you have to run to the city gate with the crowd!
One pull, no pull. Not only did he not pull, Xiaodong was still dragging him backwards!
"No! Master Hou, you can't go! The enemy is attacking the city, and the head of the city is too dangerous!! ”
"Why can't I go! The enemy is attacking the city, and it is not all the same danger everywhere! Xiao Han shouted! At this time, his heart was already in a mess, and he just wanted to hurry up to the city wall to see if Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong were in the formation!
Li Shimin said before that he would only give these people a chance. Xiao Han was so afraid that these two people wouldn't be able to seize this opportunity! This is enough to make him regret for a thousand years!
Xiaodong grabbed Xiao Han tightly and shouted: "No! You can't go! ”
"Let it go! If you don't go, I'll go myself! ”
One of them wanted to leave, and the other dragged them desperately, and they were frozen there for a while! And in this short period of time, Xiao Han and Xiaodong were left in the salt field that had just been crowded.
"Master Hou... Master Hou! Why are you guys here! ”
The two were in a stalemate, not far away, several figures rushed over, who was the gray-haired old man who was not a stunned uncle?
Xiao Han saw Uncle Stunned, but he didn't have time to speak. was grabbed by Uncle Zizi, and a set of dead armor was pressed down on his head and face!
"It's just nonsense! It's almost a fight in front, why don't you even wear armor! Xiaodong, where is your armor? Don't put it on yet! This is the battlefield! Uncle Zizi shouted at the two of them with red eyes, and several people with full armor behind him silently gathered around Xiao Han, it seemed that they didn't plan to leave until the battle was over.
"Yes, yes, armor! Armor! ”
Just now, Xiao Han forgot that he was wearing cloth clothes now. As soon as Uncle Zi was stunned, he reacted and hurriedly put armor on his body. The people who died on the battlefield were not only hacked to death, but also killed by cold arrows!
Put on the armor and tighten the belt vigorously, Xiao Han's special one-piece armor is like an iron can after it is fully equipped, except for a pair of eyes exposed, even the mouth and nose are covered in the iron armor!
"Huhu, what's going on up ahead? How's the battle going? Xiao Han asked with great effort, this iron armor blocked all the exhaust gas exhaled in the helmet, and now every breath has to use a lot of force, this damn design, can't you make a barbed wire? That day, the court also saw the emperor wearing a gold wire tiara, there is no reason why gold can be made into a net, but iron can't be made!
There was silence next to him, only the whining of the wind entering the helmet, but no one answered Xiao Han's question. Xiao Han frowned, and turned his head with great effort to see that Uncle Zizi, who was still by his side just now, had already run to the side and was concentrating on sorting out a war horse!
Preparing for a war horse? Does Xiao Han need to rush into battle?! It is estimated that everyone in this Xiazhou City will not think so! Let him go to the battle, it is better to let a dog go, at least its combat power is stronger than Xiao Han!
So when he saw the war horse, Xiao Han immediately thought of its use.
Uncle Stunned never thought of letting himself go to the battlefield at all, just looking at the food he stuffed into the blanket on the horse, he knew that this was for himself to run......
"What are you doing!" Xiao Han was anxious and shouted at Uncle Stunned! He is still in a hurry to see Cheng Yanjin!
Uncle Stunned ignored Xiao Han's shouting, until he tied a water hyacinth in his hand to the saddle, then patted the horse's back, turned back to Xiao Han and said cautiously: "Master Hou, you don't know." But whoever attacks the city, all surround the three queyi! No one can say what will happen on this battlefield. But if something doesn't go good, we'll send you out desperately! ”
Xiao Han couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, didn't he say * Isn't he afraid of death? Why haven't you fought on your side yet, so you think about escaping first? Even the guy pose and the route are ready? This is the invincible world*? Or are a few of them imposters?
"You want me to be a deserter before the fight starts?" Xiao Han was a little embarrassed.
Uncle Zizi only nodded cautiously: "Deserters are not shameful, people live to have the capital to laugh at others!" ”
"Well, you won......"
After looking at Uncle Stunned carefully, Xiao Han was sure that he was not joking, so he could only reluctantly agree. In fact, he himself knows that at the most critical moment, even if he doesn't leave, they will knock himself out and get on the horse!
"It's too early to say this, I must go to the city now! This is important! Agreeing with Uncle Stunned's approach, Xiao Han also put forward his own requirements.
Uncle Zizi looked at Xiao Han's firm eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slowly.
Because he knows that Hou Ye rarely has such a stubborn time. But once it appears, it will be Wang Ba who eats the scales, and he is iron-hearted, and it is useless to persuade anyone!
Xiao Dong, who hurriedly came back from the armor, went to get a big shield, which was wrapped in iron sheet and wood, which was as huge as the lid of the cauldron for cooking in the village! Horizontal in front of him, it was enough to wrap Xiao Han's whole person inside, and Uncle Zizi personally held the shield and escorted Xiao Han to the city gate tower in front of his head.
The roads in the city were empty, and there was not half a figure in sight. If it weren't for the sound of shouts and trumpets coming from the east gate from time to time, it would be reminiscent of ghosts.
Xiao Han suppressed the impatience in his heart, and slowly followed Uncle Stunned and they walked forward, he didn't rush Uncle Stunned, but the reply he got was always to be careful.
When they moved to the east gate, the trumpet sounded for a long time.
Xiao Han looked at the busy city wall from a distance and wondered, and didn't understand why the people on the city wall were still carrying stones and wood! Shouldn't it be a rain of arrows and a locust on television? What about people? Don't fight?
took the time to tell Xiaodong next to him his questions, but he didn't expect Xiaodong to be disapproving. In his experience, the enemy should not have reached the city five miles in front of him.
Xiao Han actually has a somewhat misunderstood the ancient wars, always thinking that the war should be as immobile as a mountain and aggression as fire!
But he did not expect that in this era when there is no strong transport mobility, aggression can only be thought of. If it is in the grassland, in the desert, it is still possible to do it, but in the pass, you are like a fire to see? The ubiquitous barriers will always teach you how to be human......
China has fought wars for thousands of years and can be said to be the country in the world that knows the most about marching and fighting! And in order to win, we have developed it into an extremely complex science!
Since it was a siege battle, it was destined that the number of mobile cavalry would be small. The siege of the city is always dominated by infantry, and no two hundred and five generals will use cavalry to attack the city! Besides, horses don't climb walls......
It is by no means a simple matter for the formation of an infantry corps to be dispatched, the front army, the middle army, and the rear army. How the wings work together and how the equipment is transported takes a lot of time! Therefore, as soon as they go on the expedition, they will be discovered by the other party and try to deal with it.
