Chapter 143: Rumors are spreading
"Major!"
Stepping on the city, Wang Gu immediately saw that Lei Min was looking at him with a worried expression.
"What's the matter?"
Wang Gu straightened his clothes so that he looked energetic, and he also had a warm smile on his face, but this smile was too faint, as if it would disappear anytime and anywhere.
Lei Min lowered his head, his face looked a little bad, and occasionally set his eyes on the outside of the city, and a few miles outside the city, the Mongol army had already been prepared, waiting for the horn to represent the dispatch of troops.
"Well, I'd like to ask. Could it be that Master Xiao has really left?"
Raising his head suddenly, Wang Gu looked at Lei Min in a daze.
Alas, it's still a child!
Wang Gu set his eyes on Lei Min, and noticed that there were already some blood marks on his immature face, and his dark eyes were also nervous, scared, and dazed.
"Where did you hear that?" Removing his eyes, Wang Gu looked at the army in the distance, and one by one the cannons were pushed out, aiming straight at the head of the city, and the soldiers standing next to him held a torch in their hands.
As long as this torch falls, will the influx of cannonballs completely drown us?
Wang Gu thought about all this, and quietly waited for Lei Min's answer.
Seeing that Wang Gu didn't react, Lei Min was a little angry at first, but then he began to feel that he was too reckless, and when he realized the realization of the other party's scrutiny of looking at him, he lowered his head a little shyly, and muttered: "I heard everyone say that, so I ...... it."
"So you're not sure, are you?"
Wang Gu shook his head slightly, his eyes looking at Lei Min, just like a father asking his son.
Then, he fell into deep thought, and the memories of the past surfaced one by one, and said: "Accumulation can be eliminated, and the sound of the paper is empty." Director Xiao has a special identity, and if his whereabouts are known, he will be calculated. It is precisely because of this that she deliberately hides her traces and does not know them!"
"But, we're all like this, how can she continue to hide like this?" Lei Min argued with some excitement.
Wang Gu felt a little helpless, shook his head and continued: "You, you are too stupid? If Master Xiao really left, how could you come out of the sea of fire in the first place? And how can we, how can we defeat the Mongols and expel them from Anding City?"
"Is this really her?"
Lei Min's eyes widened, thinking about the scene when he entered the fire to save people.
At that time, the flames were soaring, and everywhere he went was scorching smoke and dust, but when he was in it, he was like a divine help, and rescued the little guy safe and sound, is there also Xiao Yue's help behind this matter?
Thinking of this, Lei Min lowered his head in shame, and suddenly felt that he was very despicable, and he actually doubted his benefactor in this way.
Wang Gu closed his head and replied, "That's nature. At the beginning, he also took a look at the scene, and naturally he also noticed the sword qi hidden in it, and when he saw that the other party was reinvigorated, he said: "If it weren't for that, how would Director Xiao seize the opportunity to defeat Mongolia in one fell swoop and turn the tide?" I think she should also be thinking about what means she is going to use to defeat the other party." Then he looked serious and reprimanded in a low voice: "It's just that your previous thoughts must not be repeated, let alone continue to disturb the morale of the army, you know?"
"Colonel Qiyu, I see!"
Lei Min held his head high and replied in a loud voice.
Wang Gu chuckled: "Yes, this is decent." Staring at the military formation in the distance, his expression became serious, and he shouted in a low voice: "But now is not the time to reprimand. Immediately give me orders for everyone to take refuge in the bunker and not to appear above the city. Got it?"
Lei Min didn't dare to slack off, and immediately conveyed Wang Gu's order.
After receiving the news, all the soldiers descended from the top of the city and hid in the bunker that had already been dug.
The bunker was rudimentary, with a pit about a foot long and six feet deep dug in the ground, a layer of wood on top of it, and a pile of earth six feet thick on top of it, but it was so strong that it would not be damaged unless it was hit by a gun.
By the time everyone stepped into the bunker, all the artillery in the distance had already fired.
The accuracy of the Mongol artillery could not be compared with that of the Red Phoenix Army, so few of them fell on the city, and even if the shock wave generated by the explosion of those cannons shook the rammed earth walls to pieces, and then shattered with a "bang".
Anding City is too barren, the people in the city are insufficient, even if there is a city wall to resist bandits, but this city wall is just made of plain earth, the height is less than one zhang, and the outside is not wrapped with bricks, compared with the three-zhang high city wall of Lin'an, ancient Chang'an, and Bianjing, it is really too far behind.
Today, under the round of Mongolian shelling, the walls of Anding City are completely abandoned.
Hiding in the bunker, Wang Gu listened carefully to the movement outside.
"The cannon has stopped?"
Feeling that the ground had not shaken, Wang Gu's heart moved, and then he heard a low horn sound from a distance.
"All of you, come with me immediately!"
With a tight heart, Wang Gu took the lead and rushed out of the bunker, his whole body was bent, hiding himself in the trench, and when he came to the established position, he leaned out and aimed at the Mongolian cavalry rushing in the distance, that is, he pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
In the distance, a man landed.
"Bang bang bang-"
A series of gunshots rang out, and the Red Phoenix Army soldiers who came out of the bunker began to show their might, taking life after life.
Seeing their comrades landing, the rest of them were shocked, but they jumped off their horses and held their shields in front of them to resist the continuous bullets.
They were dozens of people from each other, forming a military formation, and slowly advancing towards the position of the Red Phoenix Army.
They knew that in this precipitous place, the cavalry could not play a sufficient role, so they could only rely on their legs and feet to climb to the place where the Red Phoenix Army was positioned, and then break through this reconstructed trench.
Wang Gu saw that the other party looked decent, and began to imitate the tactics of the Red Phoenix Army, and muttered in his mouth: "This group of barbarians is really shameless, and they actually imitate our Red Phoenix Army directly?" Thinking to himself, he suddenly felt a beat in his temples, and quickly stood up straight, but he jumped to the side and jumped out of a foot or so.
Looking back, Wang Gu saw countless bullets raining down on his place, splashing puffs of smoke and dust on the ground.
"Fortunately, I reacted in time, otherwise I would have died. ”
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Wang Gu took a few breaths to calm his heartbeat.
He knew very well that on this battlefield, he could only survive by maintaining calm, and this was also the experience he had learned after countless wars.
Seeing this scene, Boyan couldn't help frowning: "These guys, I didn't expect to be so stubborn?"
