Chapter 111: Fighting for Life
A group of Burmese soldiers rushed to the city with shields in hand, and the gold juice poured down from them, and then they raised their wooden shields, and except for a few unlucky ones, there were basically no casualties.
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Did you see it, let's use it once, and they came up with a way to restrain it." ”
Zhai Songjin glanced at him: "Your Highness, why are you still smiling?" ”
"What's not to laugh at? No matter what secret weapon you have, there will be a day when someone cracks it.,Besides, we're an upgraded version of hot water.,I don't think it's strange to be cracked.,The war is still the combat effectiveness of the non-commissioned officers and the command ability of the generals.,As for these tricky things,I'm not very good at it.,If only I had learned chemical engineering.。 ”
Of course, Zhai Songjin didn't understand the last sentence, but he still admired Cheng Xiaolian's mentality, after all, not everyone has this kind of peace of mind after their secret weapon is cracked.
Cheng Xiaolian didn't think about it so much, if he ran into Wu Sangui with something like this, he would have to be seen through if he couldn't use it for a round, and then come up with a solution.
At the beginning, he was too anxious, if he thought about it carefully, there might not be no solution, instead of using human life to fill it.
The faces of the soldiers at the head of the city are not very good-looking, and their big killing weapons have lost their effect, how can this be good?
Cheng Xiaolian shouted loudly: "Everyone used to live a life of licking blood with a knife, but now it is also a matter of cutting off people's heads, and you are still condescending, what?" Hands soft? ”
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Yes, the military heart is available." ”
Zhai Songjin nodded in admiration: "Your Highness's ability to figure out people's hearts is really unmatched. ”
"No one can match a fart, forced to this part, is it possible that I still kneel down and beg them to fight for me?" Cheng Xiaolian scolded angrily in a low voice.
Zhai Songjin laughed: "It's been a long time since I've touched a bow and arrow, I have to show my hands today, otherwise I won't be able to suppress them." Your Highness, who shall we shoot? ”
"You shoot the kid who commanded the archery on the other side first!"
"Well, Your Highness, look at my hand."
As he spoke, he grabbed the hard bow beside him, stretched out the bow and set up the arrow, and it only took two breaths to aim, and then the bow and arrow flew out, and the officer who could only shoot arrows on the opposite side only felt a chill in his back, and the arrow had already pierced through his chest.
The archers on the opposite side were in a big mess, and the crossbows at the head of the city took advantage of this opportunity to find their targets and start shooting, and there were already a dozen people who had reached the city wall, and then they were immediately shot through the body.
After a round of shooting, the crossbowmen quickly hid behind the city walls, not even the corners of their clothes leaked.
Ruan Ziqiang on the opposite side frowned: "Something is wrong, this is not like the strength of the rebels, if Meng Guangcheng's rebels were so powerful, they would have been transferred to the king's side a long time ago." ”
The deputy general next to him hesitated: "Could it be Wu Sangui's people?" ”
"Stupid, Wu Sangui is at war with the emperor of the Central Plains, will he come to provoke us when he is full? And I heard that most of the country has been laid, and there is no need to leave a way back, what are you looking for us to do? ”
The deputy general didn't dare to say anything, they all knew why the previous general Fu Yu died, and they had to think that this group of people was Wu Sangui's people, so they were cut off by the king in a fit of anger, so no matter how powerful this group of people is, they can only be bandits, even if they are Wu Sangui's people, they can only be bandits. For the king said that they were a band of bandits.
No one will deny the fact that no country is about to perish.
Ruan Ziqiang snorted: "Even if they are powerful, how many people can there be?" I can crush them even if I change them one by one! ”
"Hehe, I really thought the general was interested in these native soldiers when I heard the general say this before."
"These native soldiers, if you have money, you are a mother, if you can't see the money, you don't sell your life, whoever gives them silver can give them the ancestors, what do I want this shit for?"
Besides, Cheng Xiaolian in the city took a look: "There are only 200 casualties, and they are all starting to climb the city wall, and this battle is not easy to fight today." ”
Yang Youcai was stunned for a moment: "Why don't I rush up with the brothers of Jinyiwei?" ”
"Sit tight, you haven't fought before, when is this time, the cold dishes haven't been served yet, why are you in a hurry to have a dessert after dinner?"
"But Your Highness, we can't let all the people under our hands die cleanly."
"Ten soldiers can only leave one elite soldier, this elite soldier can be brought out is an elite soldier, just like a butterfly turning into a cocoon, although the process is bitter, but it must be endured, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not in charge of wealth."
"That's what Your Highness said."
At this time, Yang Youcai also corrected his mentality, Cheng Xiaolian was right, instead of a nest of thieves, it is better to have hundreds of elite soldiers, and if there are elite soldiers, they can bring out elite soldiers by hand, and thieves have no use except for giving birth to little thieves. As for life and death, living in this troubled world, everyone is such an identity, and life and death have long been taken lightly.
Soon the two sides began to fight each other in short arms, and the commanders of both sides gave high rewards, if they were placed in the past, they could be used as military salaries for half a year, so no one cared, and there was nothing to care about.
The war was fought from morning to afternoon, and finally Ruan Ziqiang had no choice but to withdraw his troops, and when the momentum was at its best, they only occupied the position of the first two zhang of the city, and never pushed forward further.
The casualties on both sides were counted, and there were 700 casualties on Ruan Ziqiang's side and 400 casualties on Cheng Xiaolian's side, which was almost the same.
And there are only more than 1,000 people left on Ruan Ziqiang's side, and less than 1,500 people on Cheng Xiaolian's side.
Back in the camp, Ruan Ziqiang's adjutant general spoke: "General, do you want to ask the master for help and let him send some more troops, I see that there are not many defenders, as long as we have more people, we can consume them alive." ”
Ruan Ziqiang snorted coldly: "If there are many people, why did the king send me?" This battle is a battle to prove my ability, so even if I fight to the death, I must not ask for help, otherwise what will the court say about me in the future? ”
The adjutant general sighed, his general is very good at everything, but he loves face a little, if he brings in another 2,000 people, no matter what method is used by the other side, the outcome of this battle will be decided, and 1,000 people will fight 1,500 people with 1,000 people, and these 1,000 people are afraid that they will really all die.
Thinking of this, the adjutant general was shocked, could it be that the general had this idea from the beginning?
Besides, the Burmese soldiers returned to the camp: "Have you noticed that many of our brothers have died?" ”
"War is meant to kill people."
"Hmph, have you ever seen such a large casualty? Besides, the general promised us to give each person a penny after we conquered the city, how many of us can get that penny in the end? I don't see a hundred. ”
"Yes, I also found out that the defenders at the head of the city are desperate at all, and we may not be able to beat them in this way!"
