Bai Jinzhao and Bai Jinhua were dressed in military uniforms, separated from both sides, and with crossbowmen, they shot arrows at the enemy under the city wall and in the distance to resist the enemy climbing the city wall.
Chen Yan'an and Chen Yanzhong also helped carry the stones and led the team to alternate orderly and smashed the enemy troops trying to climb the city wall.
Seeing that Li Mingrui had ordered people to push the catapult cart, the archer had also shot arrows...
As soon as Chen Yan'an finished speaking, an arrow flying from afar shot through Chen Yan'an's arm. Chen Yan'an fell to the ground immediately. He gritted his teeth and did not let himself exclaim in pain. He hid under the wall and adjusted. breathe.
The first wave of arrow rain stopped, Chen Yan'an stood up again and shouted: "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"
Under the city wall, a rain of arrows crossed the city wall, hurting the people in the city. Some arrows even penetrated tents temporarily built for doctors to treat wounded soldiers.
Shuoyang Army, who was still running to transport supplies to the city wall, shouted: "Hurry up! Hide! Hide!"
Children and young people who run errands and carry stones are flexible. They either hide under the table or hide in the house. When the arrows are raining, they quickly carry the stones to the city wall.
The Kabuki in Hualou stretched his neck and looked out. Seeing the Shuoyang military and civilians fighting the enemy together, they couldn't help but feel excited...
Since Na Kang met Bai Qingyan and created a song "The Hundred Generals' Song of the Expedition", she stayed in Shuoyang. She opened the window and watched the people running downstairs and shouting to go to the city gate to help her children joining the army. , tighten the palms.
There are children who are better at playing with the fifth and sixth girls of the Bai family who are patrolling the city on weekdays. They are together and shouting to help: "The fifth and sixth sisters of the Bai family are all going to kill the thief on the city wall! We Go and help!"
"Wait for me! I'll take a slingshot... and kill those thieves!" a child shouted loudly.
Na Kang looked at the united people of Shuoyang, and her heart was filled with emotions again, and she suddenly felt a heroic feeling. She turned around and ran to the flower building, shouting loudly, asking the sisters to put on their clothes and go with the people to help. .
A prostitute leaned delicately on the red pillar of the red lacquer and said delicately: "We cannot carry our shoulders and hands, what can we do if we go?"
"We can beat the drums! We can cheer! We can encourage the soldiers!" Na Kang said loudly, "Aren't we always dancing General Bai to go to the expedition in this flower building? We also envy the princess of the Zhenguo, which kind of woman can Are you riding a horse and holding a sword, leading your troops to kill the enemy?! Isn’t today our chance?!”
The prostitutes seemed inspired by Nakang's words, and some people said they were willing to go with Nakang to help.
The prostitutes changed their neat clothes, tied up their long hair, and did what they could, even if they helped the doctor to bandage the soldiers simply by bandaging the soldiers with wounds, or even if they gave the soldiers a bowl of water.
Li Mingrui had no idea about the situation in Shuoyang City. He had never really been on the battlefield. This was the first time. He only felt that the speed of seizing the city was much slower than he thought. The horse under his crotch was restless and kicking back and forth.
He turned around and asked the experienced general who had brought the troops: "Little Shuoyang, the rabble army... why did it take such a difficult attack?"
The imperial guard general looked at the desperate posture of the soldiers upstairs, but he didn't think that these were all mob troops.
"Although the crossbowmen like Shuoyang are not very accurate, they are all brave enough to fight. In this case, it will be difficult to fight." The imperial guard general said.
Li Mingrui's hand holding the reins tightened: "How long does it take to see?"
"Sir, this is really hard to say! In a war, no one dares to say how long it takes to defeat a city!" said the general.
Li Mingrui pulled the reins and stared at the figures of Bai Jinzhao and Bai Jinhua leading troops to shoot arrows on the city wall. He turned his horse's head and said to the general of Jin army: "All their troops should be concentrated in this north gate, and you will immediately bring a thousand soldiers.
Go around to the west gate or the south gate and disperse their troops to deploy defenses so that the north gate can be easier!"
The general of the Jin army took the order and turned his horse head and ran away with his soldiers.
Li Mingrui's palms were full of sweat. Although he had read a lot of military books since childhood, this was the first time he had actually been on the battlefield. When it was really time to fight, Li Mingrui was still a little nervous, even though he was facing the likes of Shuoyang.
He dared not slackewer if he joined forces.
However, what Li Mingrui did not expect was that as soon as he ordered his generals to take a thousand soldiers to leave to attract Shuoyang's troops, he heard a sudden sound of killing sound from behind their army.
Li Mingrui turned his head and saw a huge army suddenly coming from behind with black sails and white python flags, and a tide of blackness surged towards them like a tide.
Li Mingrui widened his eyes, staring at the black sails and white python flags that were flying in the wind, and rushed to the front of the iron armored cavalry lined up. Before the people arrived, the formation and the roar of the sky were enough to shock these days.
The imperial guards who live in the imperial city are brave.
The shocked and frightened Li Mingrui pulled the reins tightly, and his eyes were full of weapons, and roughly it would be tens of thousands... His heart was trembling. Is Bai Qingyan back? How could she be so fast?!
When King Liang issued an order to summon boys and girls to various places, Li Mingrui insisted on asking the emperor for an order to correct the name of King Liang, calling the crown prince a rebel minister, and King Liang made great contributions to pacifying the emperor, except for holding His Majesty's golden medal or imperial edict in his hand.
Those who dispatch troops without authorization must never open the city and let it go...
Li Mingrui calculated carefully that even if Bai Qingyan and his party forced their way back to the capital, there would be someone to stop her on the way, and she would never come back so quickly!
But who dares to say absolute in everything in the world? If the people in Shuoyang City saw that their reinforcements had arrived and went out to fight again, how could this imperial guard, who had always experienced few wars in the imperial city, be the opponent?!
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Li Mingrui shouted.
The soldiers who sent orders beside Li Mingrui scattered the orders, and the horns of the guards retreated sounded...
Bai Jinzhao, who was still fighting to the death on the Shuoyang city wall, looked up at the distance, and only heard the enemy's guards' horns, and only saw the darkness in the distance, not knowing whether the enemy or reinforcements came.
The imperial guards who were sieging the city heard the sound of trumpets and retreated one after another.
The soldiers holding the black sail and white python flag in the distance were getting faster and faster and closer. Bai Jinzhao opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Black sail and white python! It is the black sail and white python flag! It is the flag of my Bai family army
!”
"It's the Princess of Zhenguo who is back! The Princess of Zhenguo who is back!"
It’s not just Bai Jinzhao. When the black sail and white python flag came into view, the entire Shuoyang Army was about to be excited!
Bai Jinzhao was excited and his whole body was full of blood. He fired another arrow and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Shen Yan'an! Lead my troops out of the city to chase the enemy!"
