Chapter 560: Supplies

"Pour oil!" "Drop the rocket!" Li Congji and Xu Jing's voices don't know how many times they sounded on the city, and in the moment after the sound sounded, the hot smoke of boiling oil was poured along the city wall and ladder to the soldiers who were climbing and under the city, the familiar "whoosh" sound, the familiar heart-rending scream, and the familiar smell of meat rose from the city on time.

The Tang army sergeants, who were originally surprised by this sound and taste, were unusually calm, and they all hugged their blades in their arms, and sat down against the city wall, and after a while, a soft snoring sounded.

Li Congji and Xu Jing didn't have time to rest, they knew that when the fire was extinguished, it was the time when the soldiers came back, so they were hurrying to check the defense situation on the city.

When Xu Jing learned from the material officer that the wooden cannon stones, arrows, and special arrows and guns for bed crossbows were less than 20% of the original reserves, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he pointed at the material officer and shouted: "Wen Qing, where are the things?" Why is there only so much left? Lao Tzu remembers it clearly, since Lao Li and I came here, we have been preparing materials to defend the city, it can be said that there are as many as we want, and now we ...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem......" Xu Jing became more and more excited the more he spoke, and then he coughed even more violently.

Li Congji hurriedly stretched out his hand and stroked Xu Jing's chest for a while, and it was easy for Xu Jing to calm down, looking at Xu Jing's tired look, Li Congji knew that during the previous fierce battle, Xu Jing's chest was hit hard by the handle of the sword, although Xu Jing gritted his teeth and insisted on it in front of people, but he was still old, and now this excitement, the injury immediately broke out.

With a long breath, Li Congji turned his head to look at Wen Qing and asked, "Wen Qing, what the hell is going on, you tell the old man a fifteen ten!" ”

"Old General!" Wen Qing stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead, and respectfully hugged his fist towards the two, "Since Xia Guan took over as the material official, he has not dared to slack off, nor has he dared to sell the materials to others or the enemy, there is still so little left of this material, and it is completely the consumption of the city is too fast......

Li Congji came to his senses at this time, remembering that he seemed to have asked his men to move arrows, javelins and other things more than once, turned his head and glanced at Xu Jing, and saw that Xu Jing was also looking at himself with an ugly face, Li Congji coughed lightly, slightly relieved his embarrassment, and was about to open his mouth to Wen Qing, when he heard a terrible cry, "Fan Bing is coming up again!" ”

The cry was an order, and the sergeant, who had been asleep against the city wall, opened his eyes at this moment, got up from the ground with a bone, and returned to his position to wait for the attack.

Xu Jing glanced at Li Congji and Wen Qing, but he got up from the ground without saying a word, and walked towards his own defense area, Li Congji also knew that the situation was urgent, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly said to Wen Qing: "Wen Qing, you should immediately do three things for the old man now, the first thing is to immediately move all the materials to the city; secondly, he immediately ordered people to go to the homes of the people in the city to collect all kinds of oil; The third thing is to start demolishing the houses in the city for the old man, and then transport all the stones and wood that have been demolished to the city. ”

I didn't want Wen Qing to reply immediately, but instead glanced at Li Congji in embarrassment, and then said: "Old general, if it were ordinary people, they would definitely be willing to give up the grease, but those rich people in the city are afraid that they will ...... What's more, once the house is demolished, where will the people go to live in peace? ”

"Rich? Hmph......" A trace of murderous aura flashed in Li Congji's eyes, and he said coldly, "It's all this time, but they can't help but don't offer, if there is one who doesn't offer, they will be punished as collaborators immediately...... As for the people whose houses have been demolished, you can either ask them to go to the city to help, or let them temporarily go to the city lord's mansion to settle down......"

Before Wen Qing was about to say something, Li Congji waved his hand impatiently and shouted in a deep voice: "In short, these things will be handed over to you now, if you can't do it well, you can find a place for me to cut it off!" ”

"The old general is not too underestimated, Wen Qing is dead, and he will definitely do these things well!" Wen Qing's face turned red, and he hugged his fist towards Li Congji, turned around and left.

Li Congji hurried back to his position, grabbed his machete casually, and fought with all the sergeants and those soldiers.

Although Li Congji's martial arts are much higher than those soldiers, every time he goes down, he can cut down a soldier, and the sergeants under his command also keep pouring boulders, arrows, and riddles towards the soldiers, and they really beat those soldiers to the point that they cry wolf and are embarrassed.

However, in the era of cold weapons, the one who can occupy the advantage in the war is almost always the side with more people, although the Tang army will beat the soldiers bitterly, but the number of soldiers is far superior to the Tang army after all, while paying heavy casualties, they also brought a lot of casualties to the Tang army, making the Tang army, which was already slightly insufficient, even more stretched.

After paying the price of hundreds of deaths again, the soldiers finally occupied a small corner at the head of the city, and the soldiers under the city couldn't help but cheer, and even used their hands and feet to climb up the ladder.

When Xu Jing saw it, he was really angry, but he also knew that the sergeants under his command were still doing their best, and it was not their fault that they were climbed up by these soldiers, but that there were too many of them, so much that they could kill endlessly.

The knife fell, the flesh was broken, the bones were cracked, and people howled, Xu Jing was like a tiger into a flock of sheep to kill the Quartet, with his own soldiers to kill those soldiers who were not firmly footed and kept retreating, seeing that he was about to retreat to the wall, he stumbled under his feet, and cut the air with a knife in his hand, and the soldiers on the opposite side were stunned, and four or five scimitars immediately cut down according to Xu Jing.

Xu Jing is old in the end, he has been fighting until this meeting since the morning, plus he was injured again, he barely avoided three scimitars, and two of them couldn't be avoided no matter what, they were slashed on his body, deep to the bone, Xu Jing screamed, fell backwards with his back to the sky, and fainted on the spot.

When his own soldiers saw this scene, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and out of nowhere, a force came out of nowhere, killing those soldiers on their backs, and finally they could only be driven down from the city.

When the soldiers were driven down the city, the two pro-soldiers rushed back to Xu Jing's side, while carefully bandaging his wounds, while gently calling his name, Xu Jing slowly opened his eyes, and saw two pro-soldiers surrounding him, and immediately became anxious, completely ignoring his injured body, and roared loudly, "Who told you to be here, who told you to take care of the old man, hurry up and kill the old man, go quickly!" ”

The two pro-soldiers smiled wryly, and when they saw that Xu Jing was indeed fine, they picked up their swords and guns and killed them towards the most critical place in the battle.

Xu Jing picked up his machete, barely supported his body, gasped a few times, roared loudly, picked up his machete, and rushed towards the place where the battle was most intense.

Coincidentally, at the other end of the city wall, Li Congji was also doing the same thing as him.
