Chapter 835: A Reserve Army with High Morale
The flags were hunting in the wind, and on the city walls and arrow towers a mile away from the sea, the soldiers couldn't help but snort. Since the enemies of the other world poured into the north, they swept through the land of Sanzhou with an irresistible momentum, and then they killed non-stop.
The regular army, which had been left behind in the county, was evacuated. Only tens of thousands of reservists were stationed in the towers and walls to defend against a possible attack. It is rumored that the enemies of the other world are powerful, and it is a world of the Warring States period.
They proclaimed themselves the army of Zhao, revered their majesty as the king of Zhao, and there were some famous generals who only appeared in the history books to take them around on expeditions. Everywhere they passed, they all changed hands, with the exception of Yi'an City.
It is rumored that the 30,000 reserve army relied on the arrow tower in Yi'an City to block the famous general Li Mu of Zhao State, and with an extremely fierce attitude, let the elite Zhao soldiers who destroyed the Youji eat a closed door.
forced them to retreat to the front line of Chunyu City, and did not dare to move.
Only then did the two military divisions gather their troops and gallop north to aid Qingzhou, gaining precious time.
The thought fell on the soldiers of the Dongcai Reserve Army, and a sense of pride appeared in their hearts. If I can turn the tide like them, wouldn't I be able to brag for a lifetime? Moreover, since the governor of Guo ordered the construction of the city wall and the arrow tower, relying on the abundant financial resources overseas, the arrow tower and the city wall have become stronger day by day.
Even if his strength is only the eighth order, he can condescendingly rely on the strong defense of the city wall, and he can shoot the enemy outside before the city wall is shattered.
"Everyone said that those robes will meet the Zhao army of the other world?"
"I can't say for sure"
"Captain, do you think we're going to meet the enemy?"
"Maybe, maybe, maybe not"
A man in armor spoke to the crowd.
Then, as if thinking of something, he rubbed his hands vigorously.
"Since Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, led an army of 50,000 troops to attack Beihai County through the Bohai Sea, although all the troops of General Gongsun were destroyed. But Yi'an's robes gave their strength and turned the tide and blocked the Zhao army out of the city."
"Who is not envious of the brethren of the coast today?"
"Now they are gearing up one by one to follow the example of Yi'an City and play the power that belongs to our reserve army."
"And do you know that General Gan Ning has already entered the county government late last night, and I think there is a chance that I can meet those Zhao soldiers."
The captain said with a look of excitement in his eyes.
Maybe in other places, all the armies talk about Zhao Sechang. But in Dongcai County, on the top of the arrow towers and city walls, Zhao Jun is regarded as a fragrant bait.
It was a battle feat that could walk freely, and it was a stepping stone to the majesty of Yang I's reserve army.
"Really?"
"It may be possible that we can be wrong about this matter, but General Lu Meng will be mistaken?"
The soldier at the head looked like he should be.
He looked straight ahead and let out a smirk. Behind the walls are straight roads in all directions, as well as layers of walls. Each layer of the wall is connected to the arrow tower. If you want to go ashore and go straight to the county capital, you must destroy seven levels.
In other words, if the enemy wants to attack it, he must capture one area after another in order to gradually approach the county capital.
Even though there are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops coming, relying on seven levels and countless arrow towers, it is enough to drag on for a long time. And it's not a flat river in the back, there are more solid county halls, and desperate obstacles.
I really don't know what Guo Dudu thinks, even if he wants to waste money, he shouldn't waste it like this.
Of course, this kind of complaint is just an idea before the army of the Otherworldly Zhao Kingdom came.
As for looking at the walls, arrow towers, obstacles, and traps around me now, I don't know how cool it is. It's not enough to hate Guo Dudu's loser, and some places haven't added traps yet.
"Hey, hey"
"It Seems That Good Days Have Come for the Brethren"
"If you want me to say, where is Yi'an City, what kind of defensive battle? With Guo Dudu's arrangement in Yi'an City, it is completely a lie to win. However, compared to them, my Dongcai County Mansion is even more luxurious, don't look at our reserve army, there are only 20,000 of them, and judging from the current defensive position, it is not a problem to block 40,000 or 50,000 regular troops."
A soldier shouted.
The other soldier seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the sparse figure.
"That being said"
"But the place in my Dongcai County is larger than Yi'an, and the coastal land has to be guarded. We are relatively close to the county government, so the generals specially sent more manpower, and it was only 3,000. There's simply no way to run all seven levels at the same time. If 50,000 enemy troops really come, I think it's a bit enough."
The voice fell in the ears of the people.
This was followed by a tidal wave of chatter.
"Isn't that exactly why? General Gan Ning will lead the army into the county capital."
"It is said that many friendly troops in Qingzhou also followed General Gan."
"Qingzhou allies? Now Qingzhou has suffered heavy casualties, where do they have the spare strength to support us? ”
"I'm talking about the reserves"
"The Qingzhou Reserve Army is also here?"
"Yesterday I received a letter from my brother saying that they were going to Dongna-gun. He also said that because of the lack of troops, it was Jia Junshi who specially sent envoys, like reinforcements from Qingzhou Mu."
"If you want me to say that Dongcai County is the place where our reserve army can show its talents, it is better for the regular army to go to other battlefields"
"However, the detour from Qingzhou to Dongcai County is a long way, although some of them have already come, but most of the main forces still need time. And even if the Qingzhou reserve army rushed in, it could not go to the battlefield immediately. They need to be familiar with the defense system and the arrow tower of our Dongcai County in order to use what Guo Dudu left behind to create an effective attack on the Zhao army."
The soldiers said.
One by one, they looked excited.
"What kind of system is the enemy currently loose and collapsed?"
At this moment, there was a violent roar, followed by dense footsteps. A group of soldiers surrounded a general, all of whom showed a look of unkindness and hatred of iron.
"The Zhao army of the other world swept the north, and the world was breathless, how could it be so easy for you to say?"
"Cheer up one by one"
"Ben didn't want to see the enemy, but you lost your life"
"Defend the area you are responsible for, do you understand?"
"No"
The soldiers hurriedly stood up, their chests straightened.
The general let out a long sigh in his heart, and then walked forward.
Contrary to the high morale of the reserve soldiers, the generals seemed a little worried. How many soldiers and horses does the tiny city of Yi'an have? How many soldiers and horses are there in Dongcai County? The two are simply not comparable.
And how many Zhao troops are under General Li Mu's department?
How many Zhao troops are there that are about to attack?
The defense system of Dongcai is perfect, and Guo Dudu also spent a lot of money. However, the number of troops is scarce, and only part of the power can be exerted. As for the reserve army in Qingzhou, they are not familiar with these defensive structures at all, and I am afraid that they cannot be expected to help much.
It's just that where did the main force of my reserve army in Dongcai County go? Where did the main force of the reserve army in Xuzhou go? It seems that since Governor Guo ordered the reserve army to be moved to Yangzhou, there has been no news completely.
If it weren't for the occasional letter from the fathers, I would have thought they were dead.
