Seeing this, Liu Mo immediately ordered to fight back with rockets.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" A round of fire rain struck. Strangely, there was no movement outside the city.
Out of curiosity, a Daxia soldier subconsciously poked his head to take a look, which immediately attracted a response from dozens of bows and arrows. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and was lucky enough to escape.
"My lord, they covered the boards with raw animal skins, and the rockets didn't work!"
At this time, Liu Mo noticed the arrows on his helmet, and when he squeezed his sweat, he wanted to laugh again.
"Zhao Da, I don't care what method you use. Just get me a big pot of oil in one stick of incense time."
"Uncle, is it still the same trick?"
Thinking of the terrifying scene where boiling oil was poured on the Zhou Dynasty spies, Zhao Da got goosebumps all over his body.
"Yes, go quickly!"
Zhao Da took the order and went.
The Zhou army was several times larger than the Daxia defenders, and the suppression of firepower forced the Daxia soldiers on the city walls to dare not show their heads.
"Sir, that ghost is here."
Liu Mo heard its creaking rolling sound clearly, "Blow the horn!" he ordered.
The soldiers guarding the city gate corridor must be reminded.
Suddenly, the strange thing stopped.
"Is Mr. Liu Mo Liu on the city wall?" a Zhou Dynasty soldier shouted at the top of his voice outside the city gate.
What is this doing? Liu Mo frowned. "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, hurry up!"
"Please allow us to retrieve the soldiers' bodies."
"Dream!" Liu Mo yelled back.
"Master Liu, this matter is not discussed with you!" The Zhou Dynasty soldier said with a cold tone, "Our Zhou Dynasty army will arrive in a few days. If you don't know what to do, when the city is destroyed, all the people in your Rong City will be slaughtered and no one will be left alive. !”
What's more, when he heard it, he knew that it was Yang Yizhi who taught him. It seemed simple and crude, but in fact it contained too many hidden meanings.
I, the Zhou Dynasty, only collected the corpses and did not ask you to surrender. I don't agree with this. When the time comes, you will not be able to blame me for the massacre of the city. If you agree, God knows if the other party will cheat along the way. At the same time, it will be too embarrassing!
"If you want to recover the bodies of the soldiers, you can ask Yang Yizhi to retreat thirty miles before we start!"
"Brother Liu Xian, I knew you would say this. I can't blame my brother." The Zhou Dynasty soldier shouted again, "We will break Rong City within three days, so we can take care of ourselves!"
After saying that, the ghost thing made a creaking sound again and gradually left the city gate.
Break the city in three days! Does it mean that the large army of Zhou Dynasty will arrive within three days?
Where are our reinforcements? Liu Mo frowned.
There were only 5,600 local garrison troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces and could not support Rongcheng.
But in addition, the Great Xia Dynasty also had nine important towns guarding the mountains and rivers. The nearest Jiangyuan Town was only seven days away from Rongcheng. Logically speaking, it should arrive faster than the large army of the Zhou Dynasty.
Could it be that the Emperor of Great Xia was a fool? Cowardly and stupid? Are you giving up on Jiang Lin Mansion? Give up new salt?
Or maybe the eldest prince has a grudge against what happened last time, and the army is actually near Jianglin, and he wants to use the help of the Zhou Dynasty army to get rid of me and then fight with them?
It's possible! But the problem comes again.
What is the sixth prince doing? If you can't tear down the eldest prince, will you abandon your soldiers to protect the army?
Looking around subconsciously, I saw that one-third of the Daxia garrison around me had been lost, and there were more than a hundred wounded. Less than half of the soldiers could continue to fight!
Not only that, they were exhausted from consecutive days of fighting, and their morale was low due to the delayed arrival of reinforcements.
"Brother Liu Xian, why are you dazed?" Zhu Min, who came to change the guard, patted him on the shoulder.
When Liu Mo reacted, he found that it was already afternoon.
Another wonderful morning!
He realized how tired he was and that I needed to get some sleep, even two hours.
"Go back and rest, leave this place to brother!" Zhu Min said.
"If Yang Yizhi does anything new, remember to wake me up." Liu Mo told him.
"must!"
Liu Mo hugged Zhu Min, then turned and left.
He just lay down on his narrow bed and fell asleep immediately.
Dreams, strange and amorphous, full of strange voices, calls and shouts, and deep, sonorous horns, that monotonous, rich bass lingering in the air.
When I woke up, it was dark outside the window, and Zhao Da was standing in front of me. "Uncle, General Zhu wants you to come over immediately."
In a daze, his first thought was, it won't be lost, right? He rubbed his eyes and asked uneasily: "What's the matter?"
"Good news!" Zhao Da told him excitedly.
"Reinforcements are coming?"
Zhao Da shook his head, "Uncle, you will know when you go there!"
After putting on his shoes, Zhao Da carried the oil lamp and led the way to the room where Zhu Min was.
"Brother, come and see what this is?" Zhu Min said, showing him the pigeon in his hand.
"Carrier pigeon!!!" Liu Mo reacted immediately.
"Haha, that's right! I've been here a lot before, but they were all shot down by the bastards outside the city!" Zhu Min said with a smile, "It's the most deadly thing. Look, this arrow is just a little bit accurate, and it's going to be a success." A pot of broth!"
Liu Mo was in no mood to joke, "Is there any news about reinforcements?"
"Of course!" After speaking, Zhu Min handed a piece of crumpled letter paper to Liu Mo.
I see! Liu Mo's heart dropped.
Based on the information on the letter, Liu Mo learned.
The 10,000 reinforcements from Jiangyuan Town could reach Rongcheng in at most two days. They had previously sent messages by flying pigeons. Unfortunately, the pigeons were all shot down by the Zhou Dynasty troops stationed outside Rongcheng.
Yang Yizhi said that Rongcheng would be destroyed within three days, so he must have gotten the news.
"Haha, dear brother, I finally managed to keep the clouds clear and see the moonlight."
See the moonlight? Liu Mo's face darkened, "Brother Zhu, is it too early to say anything?" He said in a cold tone, "The next two days will be the most difficult moment!"
Rongcheng is such a strategic location and the first big city on the border between Zhou Dynasty and Daxia. Capture this city, advance to attack, retreat to defend, how could Yang Yizhi give up so easily!
"Come one and kill one, come two and kill a pair, I'm afraid he's a bird!"
Liu Mo sneered, you said it lightly.
Suddenly, a bold idea flashed through his mind.
"Brother Zhu, when you came to Rongcheng, you also brought carrier pigeons with you, right?"
"This is natural, why do you ask like this?" Zhu Min was surprised.
"Because I have a crazy plan!" Liu Mo told him.
~~~
Three days later, at midnight, it rained heavily in the sky in Rongcheng. The sky turned dark, and the dull air heralded the coming storm.
Suddenly, a blinding light pierced the clouds, and the fangs of lightning pierced the hills to the east. At that moment, Liu Mo saw clearly the scene below that was like a daytime nightmare.
The ground outside the city wall was crowded with black figures, some short and fat, some tall, wearing helmets and holding long spears and swords.
A rough estimate is that there were at least 10,000 Zhou Dynasty soldiers lined up. Liu Mo knew that this was not all, there were more Zhou Dynasty soldiers in the distance ready to go as reserves!
Lightning rolled across the sky, and heavy rain fell mercilessly.
Liu Mo and Zhu Min stood on the city wall, and they couldn't help but feel shocked when they saw such a scene.
"Did you see that bastard named Yang?" Zhu Min pointed ahead.
Liu Mo took a closer look and saw that Yang Yizhi was riding on a gray war horse. He was lightly dressed tonight, with a layer of shiny copper scales covering the black mail armor, and his weapon was a long spear.
After seeing Liu Mo, he raised his spear and pointed it, as if to say, "Xiandi, wait for me!"
