Above Kuncheng, Yong Kai pressed against the female wall and through the observation window at the crenel, carefully examined Wei Yan's camp in the distance over and over again, watching the actions of the soldiers in the camp.
Yong Kai has been standing here since early morning, and it has been nearly two hours. His legs and feet are sore, but Yong Kai still grits his teeth and holds on. Yesterday's impulse, after tossing and turning all night, turned into perturbed.
Could it still be a trap?
Are these soldiers from Sichuan and Shu, and Wei Yan's men, waiting for him to kill the generals who can't bear it anymore?
Therefore, Yong Kai felt that he should wait, at least, to see clearly before taking action!
Anyway, the order I gave was for today, not sooner or later.
The soldiers in Wei Yan's camp under the city were almost as usual. They first formed a guard queue and stood three arrows away from the city wall, assuming a defensive posture. Then some people pushed wheelbarrows from the camp. They came out and scattered around busily, some felling trees, some expanding trenches, and some filling earth bags. It seemed messy, but a little orderly.
It was like a large construction site, with one or two laughter coming from time to time. It was very fragmentary mixed in the wind, and Yong Kai couldn't hear it clearly, but the relaxed meaning was still reflected to some extent.
A guy who looked like a Sichuan-Sichuan military academy stood on the newly dug mound and seemed to be looking towards Chengtou Mountain in Kuncheng. He was so frightened that Yong Kai subconsciously shrank his neck, even though he didn't have much neck either. , and then he realized that he could only see roughly from such a distance, so he probably couldn't see him hiding behind the crenel, so he stretched out the part of his neck that he had retracted.
At first, Yong Kai thought it was funny that Wei Yan's men were digging trenches and building camps. After all, doing these things took time, and the more time was delayed, the better Yong Kai felt at first, but now he looks at it Wei Yan's soldiers dug the trench so deep and reinforced the camp over and over again that they suddenly felt like they were just a sand wall with several holes.
This trench is almost one person deep...
And he’s still digging!
Are you planning to dig through the mountain?!
The excavated soil was piled on one side of the trench, forming a larger gap. Rattans and branches were used as barriers on top. Some soldiers were divided into groups of four carrying boulders and shouting slogans. Rammed earth.
Behind the trench, some sentry towers were built, with five or six archers standing on each tower.
Yong Kai gritted his teeth. Yong Kai could even imagine that his men climbing the trenches were the best targets among these watchtowers...
In Wei Yan's camp, you can still vaguely see the sections of resisting horses, which seem to be connected with something, and are only moved when there is passage.
There are also patrols holding small flags in the camp, slowly walking back and forth along the road in the camp.
Only then did Yong Kai suddenly realize that the soldiers under Wei Yan, no, the soldiers under these hussar generals, seemed to be completely different from what he and his soldiers had originally imagined.
It seems that this posture is more about defense than offense...
When Wei Yan's soldiers first set up their camp, Yong Kai also considered taking advantage of the instability of Wei Yan's camp to attack and test the strength of his opponent. However, in the end Yong Kai chose a more secure approach and felt that he should rely on the city. Defense will be safer, there is no need to take risks.
However, now...
Damn, damn!
Yong Kai was a little angry and clasped the wall tiles tightly, as if he was trying to pull off a piece with his bare hands.
Time moves slowly, regardless of human will. When you stare at her, she moves like a shy little mushroom. But when you turn your head and look elsewhere, she starts running. Like a vicious murderer.
By the time Yong Kai felt his legs and feet were numb and trembling, it was already noon before he knew it.
Yong Kai slowly sat down against the city wall, shaking his already stiff legs. In his ears, he could still vaguely hear Wei Yan's soldiers chopping down trees and the sound of reinforcements in the distance...
Damn it, why don’t these guys feel tired? Why don’t they take a break?
"Pass the order..."
When I was standing, I didn't feel sore and numb in my legs, but now I feel soreness in my legs after sitting down, which makes Yong Kai feel like he's dying. "Use late breasts an hour in advance... and set off as soon as it gets dark!" 』
……┑(￣Д￣)……
The sky darkened, and under the dim starlight, the gates of Kuncheng slowly opened, and then the Yi soldiers filed out, quietly... er, more or less noisily, towards Wei Yan's camp.
The camp in front of us gradually showed its outline in the night.
There are some torches tied to the walls of the camp, trying hard to repel the darkness and reflecting a small, slightly warm halo of light.
Everything seemed peaceful.
Yong Kai and the dozen or so guards who followed him stood three arrows away. Although they were still quite far away from Wei Yan's camp, they still subconsciously held their breath, and then exhaled in small sips.
Yong Kai turned around and looked around. Half of the people around him were Jianning locals and about half were Yi people. It turned out that Yong Kai didn't think highly of the Yi people very much, and even thought that the Yi people were just barbaric guys. He had met Gao Ding before. , just wanted to make use of the high-definition, but now it seems that the Yi people can also use it, so he squeezed out some gentle smiles as much as possible, and said softly: "After this battle, everything gained will be equal." No need to turn it over! There is also a reward for someone! If you kill an enemy general, there will be even more rewards!"
Suddenly some Yi people couldn't help but cheer...
Yong Kai immediately realized his mistake, but now that he was here, he didn't care much anymore, so he simply waved his hand: "Kill! Kill!"
Now that the whereabouts have been exposed, then attack as soon as possible. Now that you are only a small distance away from Wei Yan's camp, you can rush to the camp with one attack! Even if it is discovered in the camp, it will be too late to react. !
Yong Kai waved his hands quickly, as if he was about to overthrow the camp in front of him, "Charge! Charge up! If there are any who retreat! Kill them all! This battle is successful, I will ensure that everyone is rich! Wealthy women are all here!"
The Yi people cheered and shouted, passing by Yong Kai and rushing towards Wei Yan's camp. The momentum was quite scary for a while...
Yong Kai looked at the camp that seemed to be alarmed, at the figures shaking on the walls of the camp, at the light of the torches, and there seemed to be some flames burning in his heart. At this moment, it was as if victory was right in front of him. , right now!
Wei Yan, Wei Yan, you are really capable! I didn’t expect that you would dare to abandon these soldiers and cross the mountain to Wei County! But now this has become your exposed weakness! As long as your camp is captured, you will be considered a conqueror. What can we do about Liaowei County? If I cut off your escape route, you will definitely die trapped in the Jianning Mountains!
No matter how brave Wei Yan is, what will happen to you?!
If the occasion hadn't allowed it, Yong Kai would have really wanted to laugh a few times to show his heroism.
Although the process is tortuous, the result should still be good. I really want to see Wei Yan's horrified face when he knew that the camp was breached!
The Yi people rushed to the trench in a scattered manner, and then without paying much attention, they jumped down the trench, trying to pass through the bottom of the trench, then climbed to the opposite side of the trench and knocked down the wall of Wei Yan's camp!
Every barbarian who rushed forward screamed at the top of his lungs. It seemed that this not only made them feel powerful, but also frightened their opponents. Even the walls of the opponent's camp seemed to be frightened. You can fall down amid such roars...
However, what these barbarians did not expect was that their roaring at the top of their lungs quickly turned into screams one after another.
At the bottom of the trench, there is not a flat ground, but some bamboo sticks. Anyway, there are a lot of bamboo trees in the mountain forest, so there is not much stinginess, and the entire bottom of the trench is densely packed.
Although the Yi people are born with a sole of their feet, it does not mean that they can step on sharp bamboo sticks without fear. In addition, the night is dim, and the light of the torches only shines on the trenches. Most of them People could not detect these bamboo sticks at the bottom of the trench. Without any precautions, the barbarians who rushed forward suffered a big loss. Many of the barbarians howled, and the bamboo sticks pierced the soles of their feet. Some even Unable to stand firmly, he fell towards the sharp bamboo stick and let out a horrifying scream before dying...
After Wei Yan secretly left with his people, Du Hu more or less knew that his place might become a target of attacks by the barbarians, so he made some preparations from the beginning, and these preparations came in handy at this moment. .
Although Wei Yan was not in the camp, the sudden raid by the Yi people still caused some tension and confusion. However, when the screams of the Yi people sounded one after another, Du Hu, who was originally somewhat panicked, suddenly felt that he should not
To be so panicked, or rather scared, is...
Although the most elite soldiers followed Wei Yan to Wei County, it does not mean that the people here are all idiots. And with the fortifications built for so many days, is it possible to defeat these barbarians?
Thinking of this, Du Hu became more courageous. He gave an order loudly, asking the archers to guard the tower, and then the sword and shield men went to the camp wall and gate to defend. At the same time, he also ordered to prepare in the camp.
Torches and other illuminating objects were provided, and some backup personnel were even arranged to deal with possible arson by the barbarians. After various orders were issued, the entire camp immediately took action.
As a general, the most taboo thing is to panic when something happens. In other words, as long as the general is calm, it will often affect the soldiers. The soldiers in Wei Yan's camp themselves are not new soldiers. Under Du Hu's command, they quickly
Entering the state, he began to fight back against the barbarians who came to attack.
"Swing the bamboo sticks! Use your sword to swing the bamboo sticks!"
Yong Kai shouted, and the commander asked the barbarians to sweep away the bamboo sticks at the bottom of the trench. However, his shouts quickly attracted the attention of the archers on the sentry tower, and several arrows were fired almost at the same time.
It flew over following the sound, but the sight was unclear in the dark night, so it did not cause much damage to Yong Kai. However, even so, Yong Kai was so frightened that he immediately shrank under the guard's shield and retreated quickly.
Hide on the wall of Wei Yan's camp where bows and arrows can't threaten you.
Yong Kai thought that what he did was reasonable, but he did not expect what would happen on the fierce battlefield...
No one paid attention to the barbarians who were screaming at the bottom of the trench. There was no thought or time to do so. Several armored soldiers under Yong Kai slid to the bottom of the trench, and then swept across with their swords against the ground, clearing out strips.
The passage comes.
Arrows rained down from the sentry tower one after another. From time to time, some barbarians were hit by arrows and fell down. There were also some who were shot in places that were not immediately fatal, clutching their wounds and shouting in pain.
The archers following Yong Kai also stood on the edge of the trench, raised their bows and arrows and shot at the walls and sentry towers of Wei Yan's camp. Rows of arrows fell, and some passed over the walls and fell into the camp.
Inside, some people were nailed to the wooden wall with a loud sound, and some unlucky Wei Yan soldiers were shot by stray arrows and fell straight down from the wall.
However, due to insufficient light, most of the arrows fired by Yong Kai's archers were in vain, while Wei Yan's archers could either hide under the shelter of the sentry tower roof to fight back, or they could move on the wall of the village to replace the arrows.
In the same position, Yong Kai's archers were all in front of the trench, and their positions were basically fixed and there was no change. Therefore, after rounds of arrow exchanges, Yong Kai's archers obviously suffered more heavy losses, and some even began to slack off in their work.
Get up, unwilling to continue to stand in the ditch to provide cover for the advancing barbarians...
When the Yi people who finally climbed over the ditch rushed to the camp wall, they habitually began to prepare to throw ropes to the protrusions of the camp wooden wall so that they could be pulled and deformed to expose the gap in the camp.
When he was trying to put the rope on, he found that he had finally put the rope on, but when he pulled it, a piece of bamboo fell off, and then the rope also fell off. If he wanted to put it on again, he had to face Wei Yan's camp again.
arrows and swords.
In the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, there were originally a lot of bamboos. When the camps were built, a large number of bamboos were used on the walls of the camps. The reason why these bamboos were nailed was originally just to prevent climbing, but I didn't expect that there would be such a thing.
The additional effect is like external armor. When it is damaged, it will fall off, but the wall itself will not be lost.
And these Yi people who were holding ropes and preparing to set up the wall naturally became the focus of attention, and there were not so many opportunities for these Yi people to experiment again and again. As these Yi people who were preparing to set up the wall were successively being
After shooting, the other Yi people were suddenly dumbfounded. Should they pick up the fallen rope and continue the great cause of building a wall, or should they just use the swords and guns in their hands to try to pry open the thick camp wall?
Under Yong Kai, the training and cooperation problems between the Yi and Jianning people gradually emerged as time went by, and became more and more obvious as the damage worsened, especially when Yong Kai did not
When they were able to appear on the battlefield immediately and give timely instructions, many people gradually joined the wait-and-see queue and lost the desire to attack Wei Yan's camp.
Normally, when attacking a camp, you need to bring a bumper. Unfortunately, Yong Kai didn't think of it, or he wanted to make a sneak attack. Naturally, he didn't bring such a heavy thing as a bumper, and now he is at a disadvantage. After all, Yong Kai's military experience is only
It is just limited to the scale of the battle between Wubao villages.
By the time Yong Kai felt something was wrong and tried to reorganize the queue, it was already too late. The Yi people belong to that kind of military unit whose morale is almost everything. When they lose their fighting spirit, they are really worse than the militiamen, and they originally belonged to Jianning
When the soldiers saw that the Yi people were unwilling to be cannon fodder, of course they were not willing either, so a group of people just barked outside Wei Yan's camp but did not take action, like a group of bereaved dogs that had lost their territory.
The cruel reality shattered Yong Kai's dream. The strong and well-defended camp also made these barbarians know what bones can break their teeth. As for the local soldiers in Jianning, their eyes were shaking, looking for where to go.
safer……
Yong Kai's face was extremely pale. He couldn't believe that he had fought so hard to attack such a camp, and he was reluctant to admit his failure, because it meant not just this failure, but all of his
There are problems with planning!
However, just like the bursting of a dam, which often starts from an ant nest, which is inconspicuous at first, but then completely collapses in a blink of an eye, Yong Kai did not expect that the entire Jianning situation would also collapse in just a few days.
