Chapter 471: The Whole City Prepares for Battle

On Jishi City, everyone watched with red eyes that Ye Chong was covered in flames, and rushed out of the tunnel on the top of the mountain with firemen one by one, holding big knives, spears, roaring and launching the final impact, Seeing the firemen rolling down the gentle slope with the Yan army hugged one by one, all the people in the city howled like wolves.

"Shoot, aim at those bastards, shoot them to death!" Ye Zhen bit his lips with blood,

The bed crossbow was pulled away with a creak, and with a sharp whistling sound, it shot down the city wall, crossed the moat, and flew towards the soldiers of Tianhe County. Stone bombs shot up from the back of the city, crossed the city wall, and fell towards the Tianhe County soldiers rushing towards the moat with their bags of soil outside the city. Countless soldiers with crossbows in their arms stood up from behind the battlements, the sound of Linlin was endless, and the blackness enveloped the past like a cloud of locusts.

The soldiers of Tianhe County made several tentative attacks before, and the city did not reveal their long-range attack strength. These things, they were originally going to give to Zhao Guo's standing army, but now, because of the heroic sacrifice of Ye Chong and others on Jishi Mountain , the angry Ye Zhen commanded Jishi City, showing their fangs.

Jishi City has a population of 100,000, and craftsmen account for more than 10,000 people. Since Gao Yuan predicted that there would be a war sooner or later when the city was built, there are a lot of war materials in Jishi City, such as bed crossbows and catapults. There are countless long-range weapons such as machine guns, and arrows are piled up in warehouses.

Jishi City is in the shape of a pentagonal bastion. There is no dead corner for defense. If you attack any city wall, you will be hit by the other wall. Under the city, it will cause the greatest damage to the enemy, so as to reduce the casualties of your own soldiers when you go to the city for hand-to-hand combat. , is Gaoyuan's original intention.

At this time, Jishicheng, which had been sluggish before, showed its skills for the first time, and the soldiers of Tianhe County fell into bad luck. They never expected that the long-range strike weapons on the city would be so dense and cover such a wide area. They had already dispersed, but they still fell in pieces under the rain of arrows and stone bullets.

Ji Wuqing was startled and angry, and ordered the flag to be unfurled, and the soldiers of Tianhe County retreated like a tidal wave. At this moment, among the Yan army's central army, the gong for withdrawing troops sounded at the right time.

Ye Zhen looked at the flag of the Yan Army flying on Jishi Mountain at this time, and gritted his teeth, "Come on, as many as you come, I will destroy as many as you want! Brother Ye Chong, your heroic spirit is not far away, so you opened your eyes wide on Jishi Mountain, Watch me avenge you!"

Staring at Jishi Mountain for a while, Ye Zhen turned around abruptly and strode down the city. When he walked into the general's mansion, all the generals in Jishi City had already gathered. In the first battle, Jishi Mountain was lost, and five hundred brothers died in front of them. Everyone's face was a little heavy. Even Jiang Jiaquan's face sank.

"We have expected everything, but the only thing we did not expect is that tens of thousands of Zhao Guo's standing troops came to attack us." Jiang Jiaquan said in a deep voice: "This is indeed beyond our current capabilities.

Are you afraid? "

"Don't be afraid!"

"Afraid of his fart!"

"Owned by a *dog*!"

In the room, the generals pulled out their waist knives and roared angrily. Today, seeing Ye Chong and his 500 subordinates on Jishi Mountain die heroically, they are powerless and unable to save each other. Their anger has already burned people.

"Okay, that's what we need!" Jiang Jiaquan clapped his hands and applauded, "Jishi City is as solid as gold, as long as the top and bottom work hard and the soldiers and civilians work together, the invading enemy will never come back. Now the general should be on his way back, we just need to persevere When the general returns, he will be able to sweep the enemy army. Ye Zhen!"

"The end is here!"

"You are in charge of commanding the defense of the entire city!"

"The general obeys orders!"

"Wu Kai!"

"The officer is here!"

"You are in charge of organizing all the logistical supplies, and you must not let the fighting soldiers lose a sip of food or drink a sip of water."

"Don't worry, Chang Shi, my Wu family has brought out 10,000 catties of good wine. I want all the soldiers to have not only water to drink, but also wine to drink!" Wu Kai raised his voice.

Hearing Wu Kai's words, the generals in the room laughed.

"It's good to have wine to boost morale, but don't let them get drunk!" A rare smile appeared on Jiang Jiaquan's face. "Thank you, Mr. Wu, for using your private property to work in the army, thank you so much!"

"What is there to thank, I have known General Gao for so many years, a grasshopper on a rope, for his foundation, let alone 10,000 catties of wine, even 100,000 catties, I am willing!"

"Okay!" The generals applauded vigorously. After the Wu family winery moved to Jishi City, the wine they brewed has long since abandoned low-end products, and all of the output is high-end products. His price, even they, can buy When I came to drink, I felt distressed and gasped.

"Cao Sima!" Jiang Jiaquan pressed his hands together, making everyone quiet. "Your task is to urge the craftsmen in the city to mass-produce arrows, knives and guns, as well as trebuchets and bed crossbows. Once the war starts, the loss will be staggering. I don't think that the bows and crossbows that the soldiers don't have will lose their arrows. , Catapults can’t be replenished!”

"Understood!" Cao Tiancheng straightened up and said loudly.

"Guo Quan." Jiang Jiaquan clicked on another person's name.

Guo Quan who was standing by the door did not expect that Jiang Jiaquan would call his name, he was taken aback for a moment, stood up quickly, bowed and said, "Master Changshi, what orders do you have?" He was just one of Wu Kai's subordinates. He originally thought that there was nothing he could do for such a major event as the defense of Jishi City, a small meritorious service.

"Guo Gongcao, you have been in charge of the construction of Jishi City. I heard from the general that the sewer passages in Jishi City are so spacious that people can walk inside. Where is the exit? It is not a trivial matter for the opponent to detect and touch it."

Guo Quan smiled and said: "My lord, don't worry, there are four exits in total, but when we left the city, they gradually dispersed into countless small passages. It was almost the same for dogs to get in, but people definitely couldn't do it. What's more, we were at these entrances at that time. There are also some traps set up, if they have people who are about the size of dogs getting in, it will be a dead end."

"That's good!" Jiang Jiaquan said: "I'm relieved, but just in case, you have to organize some young and strong people to guard there. If something happens, you must report it immediately."

"Yes, Chang Shi, I'll do it right away!" Guo Quan turned around and wanted to go.

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Jiaquan called to stop him, "You are familiar with the masons and stonemasons in the city, weave the threads of those who have not joined the reserve team among them, and specialize in polishing stone bullets. The stone bullets of the machine are all polished into spherical shapes, which can increase the lethality."

"Yes, this job is not only capable of these people, but also the elderly, women and children. After being dismissed from office, immediately organize people to do it."

"Okay, that's a good suggestion. Anyone who has spare time can do something to help us defend the city. Fan Dengke, half of the residents in the city are from Langya County. You are their leader, so this time, On the other side, you have to run more."

"Of order, Chang Shi!" Fan Dengke nodded repeatedly.

"Master Helan, Mrs. Gongsun!" Jiang Jiaquan smiled, "The Huns make up 30% of the city, and it depends on you two."

He Lanyan raised her eyebrows: "Madam Gongsun, please worry about this comforting matter. I will lead the cavalry to prepare for battle."

"That's fine, Mrs. Gongsun, I'm tired!" Jiang Jiaquan smiled and looked at Mrs. Gongsun.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do this."

"Since this is the case, the others will go to do their own things. The generals who lead the army will stay and discuss with General Ye how to defend the city and kill the enemy. General Ye is an expert in this field and is the master of the city. Others must strictly abide by the order and must not disobey the slightest."

"Obey!" Tang Ming, Wang Yi and other generals accepted the order in awe.

The civil servants left one after another, and only the generals were left in the room. He Lanyan suddenly said: "General Ye, the Yan army won the battle today. I think I must be very proud. How about I take the cavalry to rob the camp tonight and kill them?" A handful. Take revenge for Ye Chong."

When Jiang Jiaquan heard it, he was also moved by it, "General Ye Zhen, what do you think?"

"No!" Ye Zhen shook his head, "Coach Helan, Chang Shi, our opponent is not an ordinary person. Although Hu Yanchao's reputation is not obvious, he has come to today step by step from a young soldier. He has extremely rich combat experience, and Tan Feng Even more cunning and wise, this person is from a cavalry background and has a deep understanding of how cavalry come and go like the wind. Even if they don't know that there are cavalry in our city, they will definitely prevent us from robbing the camp. If we go out, we will definitely not get any benefits. It will also expose the secret that there is still a cavalry in our city. Instructor Helan, I told you before that at the most critical moment, when they thought we were running out of money, two thousand cavalry suddenly Attacking them will definitely kill them. These days, I ask Instructor Helan to boil them well until they scream, and when the time comes to fight, they will definitely be as fierce as dragons and tigers, and one can stop a hundred!"

"Well, since you said so, then I'll just wait!" He Lanyan said somewhat disconcertedly when the proposal was rejected.

"Coach Helan, you are not idle these days. Your two thousand cavalry are different from the cavalry under Bai Yucheng. They are old and young, and it is no longer enough to start shooting immediately. I have already made Cao Tian the leader of each of them. Equipped with a riding crossbow, it will be of great use when charging."

"One riding crossbow per person!" He Lanyan was surprised and delighted at once. This kind of riding crossbow is a continuous firing crossbow, which can shoot three pieces at a time. Unexpectedly, within a short period of time, another batch was built in the city. "With such a good guy, if we fight against each other, Yan Jun will definitely suffer a big loss!" She said happily. rs ()
