Chapter 1144 (1/2)
This night, the moon and stars are sparse, and the night wind is blowing. The light of the moon is slanting on the high wall of Huiling city. On the wide land around, there is also an eucalyptus forest which can't be seen at the end of a mile from the gate of Huiling city
This luxuriant forest is just beside the official road. It not only blocks the dust on the official road, but also blocks the burning sun from the shade of trees in the daytime. The northwest side of the forest is close to Huiling River, which is wide and swift, so it is very difficult to cross the river.
For the Nanliang army, it is suitable to camp here: it can avoid the sun in the daytime; the side near the river is not easy to be attacked by stealth, and it can provide water; in addition, this eucalyptus forest is in the right position, which is only one mile away from Huiling City, which can not only observe the trend of Huiling city nearby, but also facilitate them to arrange night attack at any time.
Now, ten thousand troops of Nanliang have been encamped here for nearly half a month. Banners are fluttering, and thousands of tents are stacked. Looking far away, there is a bright fire.
In the center of the camp, a large group of bonfires were burning, sparks were jumping, and the sound of ”Ziba Ziba” was issued.
From time to time, two soldiers from Nanliang, who were guarding the campfire, added firewood to the fire.
Not far from the front came the cry of the woman who was unwilling to torture, despairing and sad, and shivering.
Before long, two soldiers in Nanliang, dressed in rags, came out of the camp carrying a corpse wrapped in straw mats. They threw the rolled straw mat on the ground. One of them scolded: ”what a bad luck!” With that, they went back to the camp.
The corpse fell heavily on the ground, so that the straw mat was slightly loose. A naked arm obviously belonging to a woman was hanging outside the mat. You can see that the white skin is full of blue and purple mottled marks, as well as a lot of whip marks and blood marks, which makes people hardly bear to look directly.
But the two soldiers of Nanliang by the campfire just glanced at them indifferently, and then drew back their sight. The thin black man looked up at the sky and said, ”is it the third watch day now? In another hour, we can Hey, hey
The beard beside him added a firewood and said, ”look at your virtue. However, general Elida said that as long as Huiling city is captured, we will not be closed for seven days. Are you afraid there won't be a better woman
Since ancient times, slaughterhouses have always paid attention to the idea that ”seven days are the end”. General Elida is willing to say that he should not seal the sword for seven days. Obviously, he has already felt impatient with the battle of Huiling city and intends to improve the morale of the soldiers.
Qiu beard rubbed his hands and said, ”last time in Yanding City, we only allowed us to kill the city for three days. It's not fun at all! However, the girl of Da Yu is really beautiful, and the woman whose skin is cooler than us in the south, tut tut... ” He tutted in the aftertaste.
The black thin man pointed to him and said jokingly, ”ah, I say you, be careful which day you are planted on a woman!”
Qiu bearded Hu laughed with disapproval: ”hey hey, they have a saying that the peony died under the flowers, and they became ghost wind...”
”Ah, what is that?” The thin black man suddenly interrupted his roommate and pointed to the sky road behind him.
”What...” Qiu bearded Hu looked at the past suspiciously.
I do not know when the night sky flashes a cluster of fire, dazzling.
”Whoosh -”
”Susu --”
bursts of air breaking sound mixed with the sound of swaying branches and leaves came closer and closer, and saw the countless rockets shooting closely, just like meteors flying across the sky, lighting up the night like the day, clang Zheng Zheng Zheng, one by one rockets fired strongly on the barracks in the forest On the trees.
Boom -
those tents and trees were burning rapidly, thousands, no, tens of thousands of fires, and then gusts of night wind quickly connected into a piece, like a wildfire burning wildfire, spread around rapidly, thick smoke around, and gradually blurred the vision.
The whole camp was boiling in an instant, with voices, shouts and screams coming and going
”Enemy attack!”
The two sentries in Nanliang and several other sentinels in the camp yelled at their voices, trying to wake up their sleeping Companions to fight against the enemy.
Then, Nanliang soldiers in the camp poured out like a tide. They didn't even have time to put on their armor, and they didn't have time to pick up weapons. Some even caught fire and rolled on the ground wailing
The red light of fire shocked all the chariots in the camp. They broke free of the reins, ran and hissed. They even trampled on some soldiers, making the surroundings more chaotic and out of control!
In less than a cup of tea, the camp turned into a sea of fire, a hell on earth, filled with a disgusting smell of barbecue
Nanliang soldiers are frantically running to the forest, even if their superiors are shouting and lining up, but at this critical moment of life, who can listen to them? But when they cover their noses and rush out of the smoke covered Fire Sea, they are waiting outside. They are thousands of cavalry in uniform armor, layer upon layer surrounded the forest, and the front row of cavalry He raised his crossbow and aimed at them with a burning rocket.”Whew, whew --”
the rocket shot at these Nanliang people who escaped from the fire forest like a rainstorm.
Behind the archers, there was a loud voice:
”kill!”
In the thunderous shouts of soldiers, the sound of horse's hooves trampled on the ground. The cavalry held up their silver swords and attacked these fish, just like the angry waves on the sea. Wave after wave, the bright red flags were flying in the air. The originally quiet night was full of murderous spirit!
Seeing the enemy attack, Nanliang soldiers certainly will not wait to die. They will pick up the weapons that can be used on the ground and flee and fight. Everyone is fighting for their own lives. Nobody wants to die!
The knife rises and falls. In the blazing fire, blood splashes everywhere and flesh and blood flies.
There was the sound of weapons colliding, the sound of knives cutting into bones and flesh, the crackling sound of fire burning The ensemble became a cruel and heroic elegy.
The blazing fire stained the dark night sky with a touch of red, and the hot air came, with a scorching smell. The wind also brought rolling smoke, choking people a burst of coughing.
Such a move, Huiling city can not be unconscious, the city wall immediately stirred up, a middle-aged man wearing armor rushed with several people on the wall.
”Master situ!”
The soldiers on the wall were busy holding fists and saluting people.
As early as the rocket suddenly hit, those sentinel soldiers had found out that they thought it was another night attack by Nanliang army, but they didn't expect that the Rockets aimed at Nanliang people's camp.
The night watchman Chen Xiaowei quickly sent someone to inform situ shoubei. Since Huiling city was besieged, situ shoubei has been sleeping with his clothes. He has never had a good sleep, for fear that the enemy will attack the city suddenly.
He came as soon as he received the report.
Chen Xiaowei said happily: ”master situ, can it be our reinforcements?”
However, he could not be optimistic.
In fact, after Huiling city was besieged, he sent several teams of people to Luoyue city to report the news. However, none of them could survive the siege. Even their bodies were hung high on the flagpole by Nanliang people for ten days.
The nearest to their Huiling city are Lanjia city and Huayi city. These two cities are small cities, and the garrison in the city is only three or five thousand. Let alone that the garrison can not leave the city at will without the order of the Lord. Even if they come, they will be in the vanguard of the ten thousand Nanliang army.
Who are the comers
Situ shoubei took the Qianli eye from his own soldiers and looked at the direction of Nanliang military camp.
Through the eyes of thousands of miles, the situation of a mile away is clearly shown in front of situ shoubei's eyes. The camp of Nanliang army is on fire, smoke is billowing, and countless Nanliang soldiers are trapped in the sea of fire. It seems that there is no fake
Situ shoubei slowly turned his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the waving flags among the cavalry. His eyes were slightly open, and he blurted out: ”it's shiziye!” That is clearly the banner of the prince Xiao Yi!
”Prince!”
Chen Xiaowei also widened his eyes and raised his voice subconsciously.
The soldiers on the wall all looked excited and relieved. They had worked so hard with the people in the city to hold on for so many days. They thought that they would not be able to support the day when the army came. Unexpectedly, shiziye arrived with his soldiers. Now they are fighting with Nanliang army.
”We are saved!”
”Great, shiziye has come to rescue Huiling city!”
“……”
The atmosphere on the wall became more and more warm, but situ's heart was not so relaxed.
In the light of the fire, it was hard to estimate the number of the cavalry. However, after looking at it for a while, situ shoubei guessed that the number would not be very large. Otherwise, the Nanliang army was in a state of panic, and it was clear that they could carry out encirclement and suppression. However, they just wandered and attacked suddenly and deliberately avoided confrontation with them. Obviously, their military strength was insufficient.
It takes time for the army to March. It should be the vanguard army that comes to support first.
Although shiziye has disturbed the enemy camp with fire attack and caused a lot of damage to the enemy, when the Nanliang army reacts and controls the remaining soldiers, there will be a tough battle to fight
At this time, situ shoubei suddenly looked awe inspiring. At the same time, Chen Xiaowei's voice sounded in his ear, ”master situ, it's the flag language!”
Semaphore!
Shiziye's flag is being held by a man, waving it rhythmically, which is clearly the sign language!
Did the prince let him lead the army out of the city?
Situ shoubei put down his eyes, raised his voice and decisively ordered: ”ring the drum, call the whole army, open the gate! We will fight nanlianggou to death
”Yes, master situ!”
Chen Xiaowei and the soldiers felt the blood boiling, and a sense of killing and fighting rushed from the chest, and they immediately took action.
At the same time, the forest where Nanliang camp is located almost turned into a huge bonfire. The trees were burned, snapped and cracked, crushing on the burning camp, breaking, crashing, falling, cracking as one falls.The bodies of Nanliang army can be seen everywhere. The death forms are different. Those who were burned, those who were shot by arrows, those who were cut down by knives, and those who were crushed by trees Blood into a river, almost all the ground around the red, forming a world of fire and blood.
In succession, the remaining soldiers of Nanliang escaped from the woods in several ways. Xiao Yi didn't order to chase them. There were only 3000 vanguard soldiers. It was the key to solve the difficulty of Huiling city. It was not wise to pursue them.
Xiao Yi takes a look at the direction of the city wall, and the garrison of Huiling city should have received the flag.
With 3000 cavalry trying to wipe out the 10000 Nanliang army, it is a fool's dream talk. However, Huiling city has not yet been broken. Huiling city should have had 8000 garrisons. After many wars, Xiao Yi estimated that there were at least 35000 people left, which could be a trap for Nanliang army!
