"Report! Lord Duyu, there are enemy troops coming. There are more than a thousand people, and they are less than ten miles away from the city gate!"
Duyuhou Jia Ping, who had just finished patrolling the city defense and was going to have lunch, was on his way to the canteen when suddenly there was a rapid sound of horse hooves behind him.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a cavalry man stopping hurriedly ten meters away from him. He dismounted and took a few steps to come closer and hand over his hand to report.
After hearing the cavalry's report, Jia Ping was instantly shocked and asked quickly: "Who is this person coming from?"
The cavalryman immediately replied: "Looking at the clothes, he must be a poisonous person!"
"How many people are there specifically?"
Jia Ping asked again.
The cavalryman shook his head and said: "I can only estimate that there are about two thousand people, but I can't tell the exact number.
And this time when the body poison attacked, a giant beast appeared in the army. The beast was as tall as three people, and its body was as huge as a siege vehicle. Sand and stones flew when it walked, it was really terrifying! "
"Behemoth?!"
Jia Ping was stunned at first, but soon it seemed that there was information about this giant beast in the message sent by the above. This is a kind of war beast unique to the capital city of Shendu. According to the translation, it should be called an elephant!
It is the unique mount of the Shendu Guards, and it is also the king's trump card unit to suppress the whole country - the elephant soldiers!
This kind of war soldier has always been under the direct control of the Shendu royal family. If outsiders dare to raise it, they will be beheaded. Now that this elephant soldier has appeared here, it means that members of the Shendu royal family have also appeared in this war.
He must spread the news as soon as possible.
In addition, the above have already thought of ways to deal with these huge beasts.
This elephant soldier is said to be afraid of fire.
Ever since they received the news that King Shendu had formed a large army to prepare for the attack, the expeditionary force had begun to prepare.
There are naturally a lot of preparations for the elephant soldiers to deal with the Shendu Ace Legion.
Almost every stronghold stores a certain amount of fire oil. When the time comes, use this fire oil to water the rockets wrapped in cotton cloth and aim them at the elephant soldiers. Then the elephant soldiers who are invincible in the body will be poisoned. Turning into their own demons, they panicked and caused huge casualties to the enemy themselves.
After confirming the enemy's information, Jia Ping did not waste any time and immediately ordered his men to go to the beacon tower to light up the smoke to warn other surrounding cities that the poisonous army was coming.
On the other hand, they are also asking for help. There are only more than 200 people in Mawu County, led by him, the Marquis of Duyu. The opponent has more than 2,000 people, which is ten times their number.
As the saying goes, if you are ten, you can surround it, if you are five, you can attack it.
Although they were defending the city and had the city as a cover, and they also had the advantage of advanced weapons, the opponent had ten times their strength. If he didn't call for help immediately, if he lost the city as a result, it would be more of a loss than the gain.
After arranging the request for help, Jia Ping immediately ordered: "Notify, close the city gate quickly, all soldiers in the city will cancel their rest, all are wearing armor, and fully prepare the materials to defend the city, and be ready to fight the enemy at any time!"
"yes!"
The cavalry responded loudly, then took Jia Ping's token and mounted the horse and ran all the way to deliver the order.
In an instant, as the messenger cavalry moved, the relatively relaxed atmosphere in the city suddenly became serious. Everyone in the city took action, and the poisoned people in the city were driven back to their homes. They were not allowed to do so without special reasons. Wandering on the streets, otherwise you will be dealt with accordingly.
After closing the city gate, the soldiers and civilians of the expeditionary force quickly began to carry the defense materials to the top of the city. A large number of stones and giant trees were transported to the top of the city.
Large iron pots were placed at regular intervals at the top of the city. A pot of yellow, orange, and golden soup with a foul odor was constantly churning, bubbling, and exploding under the heat of the fire!
An unspeakable stench spread on the city wall. The approaching soldiers immediately took out the silk scarves they had prepared from their chests and blocked their mouths and noses tightly.
The two hundred people were divided into two groups. One group stood on the top of the city and stood ready, while the other group conserved their strength below and checked the weapons and equipment in their hands, ready to rotate support at any time.
The distance of ten miles is neither long nor short. All preparations in Mawu County have just been completed, and nearly three thousand Shendu troops have arrived at the gate of Mawu County.
At this moment, standing one mile away from the city wall, the attack formation was listed.
A man who looked like a general walked out on horseback from the Shendu army on the opposite side and started chattering at the top of the city.
Jia Ping put his head and listened carefully but didn't understand anything. In the end, he could only ask the military clerk beside him: "What did that poisonous man just say?"
Today, each independent unit of the expeditionary force has a military civilian official - a clerical officer - who serves as a translator and writes documents for these generals.
Each of them is proficient in writing simplified characters and using poisonous language.
They are grassroots talents specially trained by Yunzhou County.
The clerk listened carefully for a while and then immediately translated to Jia Ping: "Master Du Yuhou, he is asking you to give up resistance and surrender to him and the eldest prince behind him, otherwise when they attack the city, They will kill every last one of us!"
"What?! Surrender? And threaten me?!"
Jia Ping, who had a bad temper, immediately became angry when he heard this. A group of poisonous soldiers actually dared to be so arrogant. Didn't I never fight them before? !
yes! You have more people now, but so what, you are attacking the city, I am the defender, and I am the one who occupies the advantageous location, okay? !
Surrender, surrender to your uncle!
You still kill us all without missing a beat, you are so shameless!
Jia Ping immediately shouted to the clerk angrily: "Xiucai, quickly translate for him and tell the guy opposite that I and more than 200 of his brothers are waiting for him in Mawu County. If he has the ability, he can attack Come in, I'll let him do whatever he wants with all the hundreds of kilograms in my body!
If you don't have the ability, just stay outside and wait for my support to kill them all!
As for surrender, tell him not to even think about it! These weaklings don't deserve it! "
"yes!"
The clerk who was called a scholar immediately responded, and then loudly spoke of Jia Ping's intention to the general who was waiting for a reply below.
After the clerk finished speaking, he could clearly see that the poisonous general opposite was furious with anger, and then retreated into the formation without knowing what he said.
Soon after, the Shendu Army, which had been quiet just now, immediately started moving and launched an attack in the direction of the city gate!
Seeing that the fighting was about to begin, Jia Ping did not hesitate and immediately gave a loud order: "The whole army is here, raise your bow!"
With such a long distance, when they enter the shooting range, it is a good time for bows and arrows to show off their power. Then let the barbarians behind the group see the power of bows and arrows!
Give them a taste of Boerjianyu first!
Swish, swish, more than a hundred city guards took the long bows from their backs, pulled out the arrows from the pot, put the arrows on the bow strings, and fixed their eyes on the poisonous soldiers who were approaching under the city.
Seeing the opponent getting closer and closer, he was about to enter the shooting range.
Just listen to Jia Ping shout: "Pull!"
The next moment, all the soldiers pulled the strings of the bows and arrows in their hands to half full, aiming at the enemy who was about to enter the shooting range below the city!
Ten breaths later, the front troops of Shendu Army had already entered the shooting range. Jia Ping, who had been waiting for a long time, finally shouted: "Let go!"
The next moment, there was only an endless buzzing sound!
Whoosh! ! ! !
