Jiang Chong was stunned at first. Obviously, he did not expect Wang Qizhi to ask such a question. After a long time, he replied: "My lord, these rules were all formulated by Emperor Wu, so I can only obey them."
Wang Qizhi was not a three-year-old child, so naturally he would not believe these lies. Dayuan City had existed in name only for so many years, and there would not be so many people willing to follow Yu Jiang Chong.
Regarding this matter, Wang Qizhi did not want to ask any more questions. After all, he did not control these embroidered messengers yet, as long as they still obeyed him.
Wang Qizhi turned his head, waved to everyone, and said, "Let's go back!"
The fighting in the city was still fierce, and at the same time, bad news came from Erdan. More than 40,000 well-equipped guards appeared out of nowhere, and they didn't look like new recruits who had just joined the army.
These guards began to attack Xuzhou, and Erdan could only defend the city. Fortunately, Pang Tong made preparations in advance and delivered a large amount of grain and grass to the city, which was enough to feed the people in the city for half a year.
Erdan stood at the top of the city, looking at the fiercely attacking guards, and said to the three generals Guan, Zhang, and Zhao beside him: "Didn't it mean that Wei Meng didn't have any extra troops? How come there are so many well-trained soldiers now?" Soldier?"
The three generals didn't know how to answer. At this moment, a master flew in from outside the city. It was Zhou Shengdao. He gave Erdan a fist and then handed him the letter in his hand.
After Erdan thanked Zhou Shengdao, he quickly opened the letter. It described in detail where these guards came from, and told him to resist for a few days. A large number of embroidered messengers had come to support him.
It turned out that Wei Meng had more than 40,000 Tiger Ben troops lurking in the Wei area. As his last back-up, Wang Qizhi had never seen this army on the battlefield, so he felt something was not right, so he let Er Dan here. garrison.
After Erdan read the letter, he complained: "This guy is really unloyal to abandon me. He knows that stationing here is so dangerous, but he still allows me to put myself in danger. Isn't this harmful to others?"
Wang Qizhi had long known that Erdan was dissatisfied, so he ordered Zhou Shengdao to pass on a message, saying: "My lord told me before coming here that such an important place must be handed over to the most trusted person, and General Wang is good at fighting. It is most appropriate to marry you here."
Although Erdan knew that Wang Qizhi was deliberately flattering him in order to dispel his anger, he was very pleased with it.
"Qi Zhi said the truth. Since he said so, I naturally have to perform well and not let that guy down."
He continued to ask: "Vice General Zhou, I wonder when those embroidered messengers will arrive?"
Zhou Shengdao said: "Seven days at the latest and four days at the earliest."
Erdan was obviously dissatisfied with the speed of the march, "What, it takes so long? They are all martial arts masters, so it takes them so long to get here, what's the difference between crawling like a turtle."
Zhou Shengdao still had the expressionless look on his face, "General Wang, please stop complaining and try to find a way to withstand the attack of the guards. If you can't bear it, don't blame the master for disowning his relatives!"
Erdan pulled out the long sword in his hand and personally led all the generals to join the battle, followed closely by Zhou Shengdao.
To say that the fighting power of the Huben army is indeed fierce, they quickly attacked the city wall and the city gate was opened. Seeing this, Erdan raised the long sword in his hand and shouted to all the soldiers: "Brothers, let's follow They fought hard!”
When the soldiers defending the city saw that the general had killed dozens of enemy soldiers, their morale was immediately boosted and they drove back the enemy troops attacking the city.
Soon, a new round of enemy attacks began. If it were an ordinary soldier, it would be a fantasy to attack the city with only twice as many enemies. However, this Tiger Army is not only well-equipped, but the armor on its body is also used. Made of special materials, they are not only strong, but also light. The knives in their hands are even tougher and sharper. They are veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, so their 40,000 people are enough to be worth a hundred thousand soldiers.
Erdan stood at the top of the city and cursed: "Damn, why are these bastards so difficult to deal with!"
Zhou Shengdao expressed his thoughts, "General, this Tiger and Ben army is well-equipped and capable of fighting. Even if we use bows and arrows to shoot, it will not have much effect, let alone close combat. The armor alone is enough for us to drink." One pot.”
Erdan nodded and said: "That's true. It seems that we can only attack them with heavy objects when they attack the city, or use blunt weapons to kill them in close combat. But the key is that we don't have so many heavy objects and blunt weapons. ah!"
Zhou Sheng said: "At worst, we can just take all the heavy objects from people's homes to the top of the city."
Upon hearing this, Erdan quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, if that guy Qi Zhi finds out, he will have to skin me."
Zhou Shengdao said: "At worst, just spend money to buy it."
Hearing this, Erdan could only nod in agreement.
When the people in the city heard the news, they immediately moved their heavy belongings under the city wall. There were people there who were responsible for purchasing these items. Although each item was not expensive, costing more than ten cents at most, it could not handle the large quantity, so they directly bought the two items. Dan's military expenses are all gone, but these are all problems. At worst, he will just ask Wang Qizhi for it.
At this time, a funny scene appeared on the city wall. The people below collected some messy things and handed them to the city wall one by one. Broken jars, broken doors and even broken furniture were thrown at the city wall one by one. The siege soldiers suffered terribly.
Especially those broken tanks, which directly broke into several pieces when they hit a person, splattering around, causing other soldiers to be hit, and causing several soldiers to fall off the ladder.
With only more than 20,000 soldiers, Erdan withstood the enemy's attack for four or five days. Most of them had died in the battle, and less than 30,000 people were left.
The siege soldiers were not much better. There were more than 40,000 soldiers and less than 10,000 were left. Although the losses were huge, the city was about to be captured. As long as Xuzhou was captured, Wei Meng could let the more than 40,000 recruits bypass them. After that, Wang Qizhi's army was directly defeated.
Erdan looked at the city with blood all over his body. If the reinforcements had not arrived, they would have been wiped out long ago.
Seeing that the enemy had once again attacked the city, Erdan and the remaining wounded soldiers were already preparing for the final fight. Seeing this scene, the generals of the Huben Army under the city couldn't help but sigh: "If every soldier in Wang Qizhi's army was like this , then we really have no chance of winning.”
At this moment, a large number of figures suddenly appeared in the sky, with about ten thousand people in total. The embroidered messengers finally arrived.
They rushed to the top of the city, wiped out all the enemy troops, and then wiped out the soldiers under the city wall. Erdan won the battle.
Erdan glared at Jiang Chong and said angrily: "Why did you come so late? We have lost so many brothers in vain."
