Chapter 17: The City Breaks
Fang Yong felt bored, even though his subordinates were doing the most exciting feint of the Conquest of the Southern Army at the moment.
Tang Ning at the east gate was slowly receiving the supplies that had just arrived, the small stones in the south were lamenting the ingenuity of the grenades, and the people of Jiaozhi in the west were playing cards......
In contrast, Fang Yong's subordinates feint to attack, which is indeed the most exciting work.
However, this time with a feint, Yang Yingzheng, who supervised the battle, found that something was wrong. After observing for a while, he quickly slapped the herald beside him and motioned for him to let the soldiers retreat.
Although bewildered by Yang Yingzheng's actions, the herald still carried out Yang Yingzheng's order.
Song Jun Mingjin withdrew his troops, and Yang Yingzheng hurried back to the rear camp, found Fang Yong, who was napping, and shook him awake vigorously.
"What's wrong! What's wrong! Fang Yong was shaken awake, thinking that the camp had been attacked. Hurriedly jumped up, picked up the knife in his hand and looked vigilant.
Yang Yingzheng grabbed his arm, and pressed his other hand down in the air, signaling Fang Yong to calm down.
Fang Yong calmed down a little at this time, and then frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
Yang Yingzheng opened his mouth, said a few words, and closed his mouth depressedly. Looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desktop, my heart was even more depressed. If you can't write, you'll never know how to read. When a mute meets a blind man, he is simply a person of two worlds.
Scratching his cheeks, Yang Yingzheng decided to tell Fang Yong in the most basic way.
He stretched out a hand, fingers together, raised it high, and then fell, making a wave-like gesture.
"Tsunami?" Fang Yong blinked: "Hillside? ”
Yang Yingzheng shook his head and made this gesture again.
Fang Yong frowned and tried to guess, then asked uncertainly, "Before?" ”
Yang Yingzheng nodded vigorously.
Then he took a quiver full of arrows from the weapon rack, drew three arrows from it, and threw them at the ground.
"There were three arrows before?"
Yang Yingzheng tilted his head and thought about it, reluctantly agreed with Fang Yong's statement, and then he stretched out his index finger and pointed at his feet.
Combined with the above, Fang Yong understood that the meaning of Yang Yingzheng's gesture did not refer to the underground but to the present, and then saw Yang Yingzheng take out an arrow and throw it on the ground, he frowned and said: "There were three arrows before, and now there is one arrow......"
It sounds like a foggy cloud, but Fang Yong and Yang Ying are old partners. Sometimes, although he would guess wrong, as long as he gave enough information, Fang Yong would still be able to guess without leaving ten.
Think about it, how stupid will a person who can make Downing's sycophants comfortable?
Fang Yong suddenly realized: "You mean, this time it's a feint, a thief."
Momentum has waned? ”
Yang Yingzheng gave a thumbs up.
If he can speak, he will definitely say you cow at this time.
Fang Yong suddenly became excited, and excitedly grabbed Yang Yingzheng's hand and said, "So, is the master's strategy working?" After that, he hurriedly summoned his generals and asked him to quickly send someone to ride the fastest horse to inform the Song army in the other three places.
Tang Ning was receiving supplies of grain and grass, and he heard Qi Fu say that Fang Yong's side had sent a fast horse to report, and the momentum of the enemy army had decreased slightly during the feint, if it wasn't for the flaws they deliberately sold, it was their own attack plan that worked.
Tang Ning hurriedly put down the work in his hand and wrote back to ask Fang Yong to explore again. On his side, he also hurriedly mobilized his troops, preparing to launch a wave of feints to explore the truth and reality.
The east gate and the north gate attacked at the same time, and the conclusion was that the other party was indeed a little absent-minded. The arrows fired by the archers on the walls were all crooked, and they were not aimed at people at all. If it was a flaw that was deliberately sold, it wouldn't be so outrageous.
So after discussing with Su Song and Cheng Yang, who had improved slightly, Tang Ning made a judgment about what happened in Guangyuan City. Then he immediately ordered the whole army to attack and besiege Guangyuan City.
Riding on the horse, Tangning's hand holding the reins was trembling.
I've been besieging Guangyuan City for six days, and I didn't expect an accident in the city to come out so quickly, this is simply a surprise. I'm still worried, what should I do if I encounter a large number of reinforcements gathered by the enemy......
When he was really sleepy, someone sent him a pillow, and Li Changjie fled into Guangyuan City in a panic, which was sending himself military merits.
Besides, on Fang Yong's side, after another feint attack was found to be false, Tang Ning's order came down. Fang Yong immediately mobilized his subordinates, and the whole army of 12,000 people went straight to Guangyuan City.
The defenders of the north gate thought it was a feint, so they ignored it and shot a few arrows, and then continued to turn back to warn the rioting people in the city.
However, the Song army came with sincerity this time, and 12,000 people suddenly charged six hundred steps away from Guangyuan City. In the past, in this position, the Song army that feinted would still advance slowly with a shield.
The sudden charge caught the defenders of the north gate unexpected, and this group of dog-day Song people had been feinting for six days and five nights without sleep, and it was really unpredictable to suddenly come to this hand.
It's too late to make preparations in a panic. At a distance of six hundred steps, the mad dog-like Song army arrived in an instant.
The ladder was erected at once, and the battering ram was also pushed and transported by a dozen soldiers. The catapult poured towards the city wall ~ after three rounds of stone projectiles, in order to avoid accidental injury, it did not continue to project. Instead, there were five chariots full of Song crossbowmen.
"Oh no! This time Song Dog is playing for real! The defenders of the north gate screamed, and immediately went to call out to the soldiers who were resting under the city.
A group of people hurriedly put on their armor and clothes, picked up their weapons and ran in the direction of the city gates.
Just when they were concentrating on dealing with the Song army, Ruan Duyun also followed a group of fast-paced people to the bottom of the north gate.
"Quick! Now is the time! They were attracted to the Song army! Let's go and grab the tower and open the gate!" Ruan Duyun shouted, and the people immediately stepped forward.
The Song army, who was besieging the city, suddenly felt that the pressure had dropped sharply, and he was still wondering if the Jiaozhi people above his head were deliberately releasing water. As everyone knows, they are facing the embarrassing situation of being attacked on their backs, and Yang Yingzheng seems to be able to do light work, and he stepped on the ladder for more than ten steps to come to the battlement wall.
kicked down a Cochin defender who was about to cut down, pulled out the spear behind his back, and crouched down to sweep away the leaves in the autumn wind.
The Jiaozhi soldiers were swept down a large area, and Yang Yingzheng took the opportunity to use the Yang family's spear, only to see him prick his eyebrows and two hearts, three eyebrows and four hearts, and five eyebrows and six hearts......
Anyway, the guns were stabbed at the vital point, and the Jiaozhi soldiers who couldn't dodge were stabbed to death by him several at once.
Yang Yingzheng occupied a piece of land on the city wall, and the Song army who climbed the ladder behind him followed, jumped on the city wall one by one, and began to fight with the Jiaozhi soldiers in close combat, fighting for the territory on the city wall.
Yang Yingzheng was fighting and found that some people were also attacking the Jiaozhi soldiers, who were wearing ordinary clothes and had no protective effect. In his hands, he also held sticks, firewood knives and other inferior weapons.
Moreover, they are very wary of the Song army, they will not take the initiative to approach, and they will not show hostility. Is this the people who have been stirred up by the Lord?
Yang Yingzheng deliberately approached the past, picked up a Jiaozhi soldier who was pressing on the people of Guangyuan City and was about to mend the knife, then squatted down, grinned at the man, and stretched out a hand.
The man was stunned for a moment, as if he had been entangled for a while, and finally carefully held Yang Yingzheng's hand and stood up with his strength.
In the ensuing battle, the Song army gained the upper hand. Like Yang Yingzheng, Fang Yong, who had also made a discovery, ordered that he was not allowed to attack the people of Guangyuan City who were wearing ordinary clothes.
With the combined efforts of the two sides, the Jiaozhi soldiers above the city wall threw away their weapons and chose to surrender. Fang Yong put these people in charge of guarding them, and he himself led his soldiers down the city wall and began to grab the city gate with the Jiaozhi soldiers.
As the saying goes, the gun picks a line, and the stick sweeps a large area. The terrain near the city gate is the home field for Yang Yingzheng.
After all the Jiaozhi soldiers who were holding the gate were overturned, the gate was broken by the battering ram.
The Song army outside the city rushed in.
At the same time, the fleeing people came one after another. Fang Yong motioned to his subordinates to make way for the people to escape, and the Song army continued to advance along both sides of the road.
