Chapter 175: There Is No Moon Tonight
Cheng Xiaolian's tone of speech was joking, but when he saw that Yang Youcai was serious, he pushed the boat down the river and said it, anyway, this is not a lie, after all, he does know what will happen in the future, but since Wu Sangui heard his news and started the army a year early, it is impossible to say whether history will develop in its original direction.
Yang Youcai looked at Cheng Xiaolian carefully, his eyes were unusually bright: "Your Highness, didn't that immortal say when we will be able to return to the country?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian scratched his head: "Hehe, the secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”
Besides, the average combatant eats two meals a day, one full meal in the morning, and then stares until the sun goes down, and then eats a second meal.
Now Cheng Xiaolian gave them the prescribed time to come back before breakfast, and find a place to sleep by himself after dinner. So the city sergeant was in a good mental state.
The royal capital, Ava City, received an urgent military situation from Li Xin, opened it and said that if rice could not be mobilized within five days, the entire army would collapse, and the responsibility would be on their heads at that time.
Ding Su, the newly appointed cabinet chief assistant, wanted to turn himself into rice and send it over after receiving this urgent report, looked at the grain in the warehouse, and finally gritted his teeth and gave a death order to Hongshan City, which was closest to Mengyang City, and transferred the rice over, otherwise he would be held accountable from top to bottom.
Hongshan City did not have much grain in stock, so it could only be collected overnight, and many people were broken into their homes by the officials of the government when they fell asleep, and then began to collect grain.
In the end, the rice that was enough for the army to eat for three days was sent to Mengyang City, and at this time, the price of grain in Hongshan City soared, and many people had nothing to eat.
Of course, there will be no chaos for a while, because there will always be some grass root bark that can last for a few days, so the food is safely delivered to the barracks.
As soon as the soldiers in the barracks saw the white rice, their eyes were green, and they only thought about the aroma of the rice in their hearts.
Lu Lixin laughed: "I got the rice I promised you, can you win the battle you promised me?" ”
"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”
"Bury the pot and cook, attack the city tonight!"
After the sun set, the soldiers at the head of the city began to eat, and after eating, they went down to the city tower to their fixed place, they did not eat the porridge of those people in vain these days, every day before dawn to chop wood and carry water, stretched out their hands to dry, and returned to the city at dawn. And the porridge is a symbolic two sips, after all, there is still one more meal back to the city.
It's just that no matter what the people say, they don't go into the house to sleep, because the general said that if there is a problem with the city defense after entering, they will be cut off in time.
Today they went to the place where they slept, and saw that there was an extra worn-out quilt in front of the door of each house, this year except for the dignitaries, no one can afford to cover the new quilt at home, many people have to go to the relatives' house to borrow a new quilt, and the new quilt relatives may not cover it, but when someone borrows it, it is taken out and lent to others, and then put it away after borrowing.
So this shabby quilt may be the best quilt in their house, and every soldier's heart is very warm, as if they have returned to their own home.
It's just that although they had the quilt, they didn't sleep long, and soon Cheng Xiaolian got the news that there was no usual fighting and war drums today, so he immediately ordered all the people to gather, and each city picked out a hundred people, and then Meng Ke took them to guard the door hole of the south city gate, the big pit of the door hole has been filled, but it is still black on it, reminding these people that the fire has just passed.
The soldiers hurriedly returned their quilts, and then returned to the city to assemble, but were ordered to pretend to sleep at the city, especially with torches, which made many people mutter, if the archers below had taken aim, it would be one at a time. However, as mentioned above, there will be no arrows outside today, so they will believe it for the time being, but they secretly made up their minds in their hearts that as long as a bow and arrow flew over, they would immediately dodge.
It didn't take long for Lu Lixin to take the soldiers to the city, at this time there were still 18,000 people under his hands, watching from a distance, under the torches at the head of the city, many sentries were sleeping with guns.
Lu Lixin had already told them that before climbing to the top of the city, no one was allowed to make a single movement, let alone archery, and the ladders had to be handled gently, and whoever woke up the defenders at the head of the city would be killed!
When the soldiers under the city saw that all the soldiers at the head of the city were asleep as the general had said, they were overjoyed in their hearts, and marched more carefully towards the head of the city, and the soldiers carrying the ladder did not even dare to breathe.
Today, it is still the four city gates attacking together, all the generals know that the number of people is more than the other party, if you are only entangled in one city gate, you can't give full play to the advantage of numbers, and only by pulling away can you show the advantage of more people.
Soon they were at the bottom of the city, and the ladder was gently placed on the top of the city, and there was no moonlight tonight, if it were not for the ladder on the top of the city, the soldiers at the head of the city would not have noticed that there were already people below.
Their breath was also strained, and they didn't know if the Burmese soldiers would appear in front of them in the next breath.
At this time, an explosion suddenly sounded in the air, this is the signal to start a war, the soldiers in front reached out and pulled out the torches at the head of the city, the soldiers standing behind were already ready with bows and arrows, there was no way to aim, and they began to shoot at the city, and while shooting back, someone shouted: "Someone steals the city!" ”
The castle lost its target at once, the torches at the head of the castle were unplugged, and immediately someone around them began to scream.
Lu Li Xin said hatefully: "That bastard thing is exposed? Hurry up, they've been sleepy these days, and they don't have the energy to fight us! ”
Then everyone began to rush up the ladder, and the archers at the head of the city shot arrows one after another, and it didn't take much effort at all to shoot people at such a short distance, as long as they usually had half of their strength, they could shoot people to death.
The screams under the city came one after another, but none of these could shake Li Xin's determination, he knew that if he missed today, he would have to attack the city again in the future.
The reason why he chose today is because there is no moonlight, but without moonlight he can't see his surroundings clearly, and many people have fallen around him, which is not a battle that a tired army can fight at all.
Soon someone climbed to the top of the city, and then the two sides began to fight each other, at this time there is no armor and no characteristics, you can only rely on the face to distinguish, you face the city is the enemy, then you can only kill!
