Chapter 1084: If you can't hold the city, it's a shame (first update)
Chapter 1084
"Dashuai, why don't we withdraw our troops and return to Xiazhou for the time being?" A Liao general stood up and said with some hesitation to Yelu Dudton, who was sinking in the water.
"No!" As soon as he finished speaking, someone next to him stood up and objected. "Now that our army is on the offensive very urgently, wouldn't it give the Song army at the fork a chance to breathe."
"The last general thinks that he should immediately send a messenger to order General Xiao, who is rushing to Wanjingkou, to move eastward and rush to Xiazhou for reinforcements.
"Well, that's reasonable, just do it, come here, immediately go after General Xiao Zhongwen, tell him, immediately turn to the east, rush to Xiazhou for reinforcements, three days, must reach Xiazhou City, otherwise, the military department will deal with it." Jerodadon nodded approvingly, and immediately commanded.
"In addition, I don't know if there are troops from Mida Cave, Mida Cave is only two hundred miles away from Xiazhou, so we should have received the military information earlier than us."
"Don't worry, General, General Guangxian will definitely send troops to rescue Xiazhou as soon as possible, as long as General Guangxian's army can cooperate with the defenders of Xiazhou to entangle the Seed Master, in this way, when General Xiao's army arrives, surrounded on three sides, hehe, maybe, we can still let those Song dogs drink a pot of fiercely."

The south gate of Xiazhou City was unlucky, and the city tower also collapsed. Of course, it was done by the Song army, but now, Xiazhou City has been occupied by the Song army, so it is natural to re-erect this section of the collapsed city wall that is more than ten zhang long as soon as possible in the shortest possible time.
And now, there are more than 1,000 soldiers, sweating profusely, digging and moving those mud, sand and bricks.
"Brothers, work hard, hurry, no matter what, this place must be cleared and the wall must be rebuilt by midnight tonight." Someone is constantly cheering loudly on those soldiers,
"Alas, what is this called, it is easy to destroy, but it is difficult to build. Damn, there's so much mud and sand, it's hard enough to clean up. A battalion commander wiped the stinking sweat from his forehead and watched as he had only cleared a little more than a third of the rubble.
"What then? Who made the Yuanyou stone throwing machine battalion so awesome, but in half an hour, such a section of the city wall was smashed. The buddy next to him also had a complicated expression.
"But then again, I've been a fucking Qiu Ba for half my life, and it's the first time I've seen how easy it turns out that siege warfare will be."
"Who maybe, if you want me to say, our Wang Jingluo, but he is really a man among the immortals, a pile of broken wood, Shengsheng made him drum up such a sharp weapon, at the beginning of the ancient city of Wuyan, it was by this thing that smashed the 50,000 horses and horses of the Western Xia in embarrassment, and was captured by tens of thousands of people in my Great Song Dynasty.
In that Youzhou City, he also relied on this thing to smash all the siege equipment of the Liao army into pieces. Let those hundreds of thousands of troops only honestly climb the ladder to attack the city......"
"A few of you, don't brag to me, don't hurry, if you can't clean up the ruins and rebuild the city wall before midnight, you just wait for the military law to deal with it."
Just when they were full of emotion, they annoyed the boss who was in charge of rebuilding the city wall, and reprimanded them with a black face, and finally made these braggart ruffians cheer up and join in the cleanup work.
At midnight, half an hour away, almost cleaned up, wooden boxes loaded with stones or dirt were filled into them, and then buckets of mixed cement began to be poured into them, and in the surroundings, of course, they needed to be reinforced with wooden planks to prevent the cement mortar that had not yet dried up from flowing everywhere.
It takes a lot of time to clean up, but rebuilding is much easier. The only thing worrying is that it takes at least three or four days for such a large cement building to dry completely.
However, the Liao army would not wait for such a long time, so the planter simply led the way and used the demolished bricks to build a three-foot-thick brick wall on the periphery of the cement pouring wall, and placed more than 20 heavy crossbows on the nearby city wall, giving this section of the city wall that is not so strong for the time being to the greatest protection.
The whole night, it seemed so quiet, and the news that the scattered scout cavalry had not encountered the enemy army, and it was not until near noon on the second day that the seed master Dao received the news from the scout cavalry in the east of Xiazhou.
There are at least 30,000 horses, coming from the direction of Mida Cave, heading towards Xiazhou. And the seed master Dao, who learned the news, rushed to the city wall south of Xiazhou City for the first time, and inspected the city wall that had been repaired again.
Well, compared with the towering and tall city gate building built before, the current south city gate looks really miserable.
There was no gate, no gate tower, only a new section of the city wall, and the outer protective wall protruded several feet outward.
In addition, they are all built by non-professionals, and they need to be in a hurry, so the appearance of the exterior wall looks really miserable, but it is so stocky.
"My lord, the sun has stopped today, so as long as this temperature can be maintained, at most until tomorrow evening, this section of the city wall will become the strongest section of the city wall in the entire Xiazhou." The general in charge of cleaning up and rebuilding confidently reported towards the Planter Dao.
"Thank you for your hard work, but at most, in two hours, 30,000 Liao troops will enter the city of Xiazhou. General Wang, how is your Yuanyou Stone Throwing Battalion? ”
"The general can rest assured, he has cleared enough blank space twenty-five zhang away from this section of the city wall, all the Yuanyou stone throwers have been reassembled, and besides, after entering the city yesterday, three hundred stone bullets have been made, which can come in handy by night at the latest. And now, we still have nearly a hundred stone bullets at our disposal. ”
"Well, that's good, by the way, I'll contact the water master again and tell the old guy Zhe Keshi about the situation on our side. In addition, tell the brothers that they are all cheering up, the city has been captured, but if it can't be defended, it will be a loss of the face of our Great Song Dynasty Western Army, and a loss of our face in the North Shaanxi Road to appease Lord Wang, understand?! ”
"No!!" Hearing Wang Jingluo's name and thinking of the violent temper of this famous top boss, everyone felt a pang in their hearts and promised loudly.
At this moment, the commander of Mida Cave, Guangxian, had already commanded 30,000 elite divisions and rushed to a place only eighty miles away from Xiazhou, but at this time, he suddenly ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and asked to camp on the spot, rest for a good night, and set off again tomorrow morning.
Such a military order directly made all the generals in the army dissatisfied, after all, asking for troops is like fighting fires, if you don't hurry up at this time, you missed the military aircraft major event, don't say that it is your own people, even you, the commander, can't afford to be guilty.
But soon, when they left their respective soldiers and horses and rushed to the hastily erected tent of the Chinese army, they no longer thought so.
