The seventh day of the siege.
Si Jing's whole body went numb.
A conservative estimate is that the number of arrows fired from the head of Jianyang City was no less than 300,000.
This does not include those giant crossbows as thick as spears.
Once that kind of giant crossbow hits, no matter how thick the shield is, it will be useless. It often has to penetrate the bodies of three or four soldiers to stop.
Si Jing looked at Jianyang City, where the flags of the Chu army were fluttering, seeming to be mocking his own incompetence.
"What a great Mi Liang."
Si Jing: I remember you!
With thousands of soldiers, they were able to defend Jianyang City for ten days under the fierce attack of tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops regardless of sacrifice.
"This is a formidable enemy. I will kill him sooner or later!" Si Jing said harshly!
But if we can't attack for a long time, it's useless.
…
But it was said that former general Wu Bi followed Qu Ping's order and returned with 50,000 Chu troops at starry night for reinforcements!
I have been making rapid progress along the way, and I wish I could grow two more legs.
The 50,000 Chu soldiers did not even carry shields except for swords and halberds and just enough food rations. They were traveling lightly and ran after Wu Ben.
Fifty thousand soldiers of the Chu army were so anxious that they marched on foot - the importance of Jianyang City need not be emphasized at all. Even the soldiers knew that this city must not be taken away by the Vietnamese army.
This is related to whether the 150,000 troops can return home alive...
Wu Ben's expression was solemn - he had already recovered from the initial panic.
I just hope...Xiong Wuliang is a little more reliable, even just this once...
but……
Wu Ben sighed heavily!
Can such a young master who has never fought in a war, especially Xiong Wuliang, who is known as a playboy, really be reliable?
In Wu Ben's mind, he had already prepared for the worst.
"Send the order - when you get to the city, attack directly and attack the city! Don't give the Yue people time to react!" Wu Bi ordered.
Out of the blue!
The journey that originally took at least ten days to run back, Wu Ben forced to march all the way, only took seven days! The people of Yue would never have imagined that Wu Ben would return aid so quickly! This is an opportunity!
It is estimated that when 50,000 Chu troops arrived at the gate of Jianyang City, it happened to be around Yin hour (3-4 am).
Just in time to catch the wretched King Yao off guard and destroy the city in one battle!
The slogans were all thought out in advance——
Break through Jianyang City and open the way home!
…
Night falls.
Compared with the bleak situation in the Vietnamese army camp, Jianyang City was immersed in a sea of joy at this moment.
After Zhao Hua and two thousand militiamen arrived at Jianyang City, the place was truly impregnable!
There is no need for these militiamen to go into battle.
Just standing back and helping with some hard work such as transporting wood and rocks would be enough to boost the morale of the Chu army!
In addition, Zhao Hua also proposed many damaging moves to defend the city, which were even worse than 'Golden Juice'.
Xiong Wuliang, a pragmatist with no aristocratic demeanor, was overjoyed at these despicable tricks!
Zhao Hua is really my ovary!
Now it has been the seventh day of defense. The returning army is close at hand, and the morale of the Chu soldiers guarding the city is as high as a rainbow.
On the contrary, the Vietnamese army camp under the city was completely silent.
"Master Zhao Hua, how do you feel about Qu Yang and his party?" Xiong Wuliang greeted Zhao Hua with a smile.
Zhao Hua was filled with emotion and saluted Xiong Wuliang: "You are a great talent."
During the Warring States Period, Quyang County was nothing short of a paradise on earth - it was built by Xiong Wuliang in just one year!
Xiong Wuliang patted Zhao Hua on the shoulder and said tenderly: "Master Zhao Hua is a great talent if he can manage the many complicated affairs in Quyang County in such an orderly manner!"
Mr. Mi Liang is uneasy and kind-hearted.
This employee worked smoothly, and Xiong Wuliang thought about how to keep Zhao Hua in his Quyang County.
If the annexation of Yue was to be regarded as the first achievement, everyone, including Qu Ping, would have to make concessions to Zhao Hua. It is conceivable that after this battle, Zhao Hua would at least be promoted to a doctor.
According to Xiong Wuliang's memory, this guy seems to have risen to prominence after this battle.
Before the reward from the King of Chu comes, hurry up and grab someone!
This kind of talent must stay in Quyang County to continue 996!
In order to rob people, I didn’t even bother to throw dirty water on King Chu Huai’s cheap uncle!
Xiong Wuliang pulled Zhao Hua's sleeve and said with some sincerity: "Sir, you are such a talented person, but you are not reused by the king!"
"Although Mi Liang is just a prince, he also has some ambitions!"
"Now that Qin and Chu are about to compete for hegemony, it is the time to employ people."
"Mi Liang is thirsty for talents, and I hope that Mr. Xi can make long-term plans for our Quyang County, just like looking forward to the rain after a long drought!"
As he spoke, Xiong Wuliang squeezed his eyes and burst into tears!
Good guy!
Liu Bei saw it and called him an expert!
How had Zhao Hua ever seen such a battle... Although Zhao Hua was also from a noble background, he was still flattered to receive such courtesy from Xiong Wuliang!
Xiong Wuliang hesitated when he saw the call, and acted even harder! Holding Zhao Hua's hand tightly, feeling affectionate -
"Sir...how dare you abandon your good deeds and leave..."
Zhao Hua was stunned by this set of random punches he had learned from Emperor Zhaolie. He subconsciously supported Xiong Wuliang's bent waist and said, "Why did you say this..."
"Okay!" Xiong Wuliang said with great joy: "In that case, I will hold a banquet in Jianyang City to celebrate the help of Mr. Feng!"
"I have my husband to help me, and I am even more powerful than a tiger!" Xiong Wuliang imitated Luo Guanzhong's tone of voice.
"Here comes someone!"
"The banquet is laid out. I want to clean up Mr. Zhao Hua's past! Just don't drink. After all, there is a powerful enemy in the city, so you still have to act with caution..."
Everyone in Zhaohua was dumbfounded: Huh? What?
What happened.
Labor and management were just dragged into the pirate ship?
…
May 13th, Yin hour.
Wu Bi's 50,000 Chu troops rushed all the way back to Jianyang City!
"General! Happy event!" The scout who risked his life to investigate came to Wu Bi with a look of ecstasy on his face: "The flag of Chu State is on Jianyang City!"
"Siege the city...ah no! What do you mean?" Wu Ben was shocked.
"Quyangjun is guarding Jianyang City! The top of the city is the flag of Chu! The Yue King's camp is sandwiched between Jianyang City and our army, less than five miles away from our army!"
Wu Ben slapped his hands violently!
Well done!
This Xiong Wuliang, everyone underestimates him!
He is worthy of being the only son of Lord Xiong Wei! A moment or two!
With six thousand troops guarding the dilapidated city wall, they were able to withstand the fierce attack of thirty thousand troops for seven days!
The bloody smell on the battlefield ahead can be smelled here - this is miles away!
The brutality of this battle can be imagined.
Being able to defend Jianyang City in such a tragic battle, Xiong Wuliang exceeded everyone's expectations and at the same time... made a great contribution!
A ferocious smile appeared on Wu Ben's face: "The Yue people are so negligent. They have been touched by our army only five miles away, and they don't even notice."
"This is God's help!"
"Although our army is exhausted from the forced march, we must not miss this heaven-given opportunity!"
"Call the order——"
"Attack immediately and attack the Vietnamese camp at night!"
"Our army attacks the east of the Yue army camp at night. After the battle begins, Qu Yangjun's troops will definitely come out of Jianyang City and attack from the west."
"Under attack from two sides, this battle will be a sure victory!"
