Time: August 4th, early noon, there are still 35 hours left before the Xuange Battalion team needs to complete the second phase of the mission.
Location: Haiyang City, on the north wall that has never been attacked since the war began.
I looked up at the sky above my head, which was filled with soft white clouds as soft as cotton candy.
It seems that except for a large number of crows circling low in the sky in the three directions of east, west and south, enjoying a feast, there are no other raptor queens.
Then he looked at the white and docile homing pigeon 'Xiao Liu' in his arms.
Uncle Hei, the famous contractor on the mainland, was very undecided at the moment whether to release the carrier pigeon in his arms.
For a moment, he was very hesitant about this matter.
At this moment, the fat man had to decide whether to let go of the homing pigeon in his arms. He seemed to have enough reasons for both choices.
Aren't you going to let go? Since the Jurchen army appeared at the city gate on the 28th of last month.
A group of people from Xuange Camp have completely lost contact with Zhang Jue and others from Pingzhou City for almost 6 days.
This is where Erpang used to serve as a pigeon nest for a period of time.
Whether it can be released successfully, and whether it can get a reinforcement army from Pingzhou City, all depends on whether you can shoot down the Haidongqing with one arrow later."
The shrill whistle can only mean one thing, causing Xiao Liu to fly back immediately.
Therefore, even if there is no trace of that damn Haidongqing in the sky, Erpang still has no idea in his heart that this is the last pigeon he has left...
****
Half an hour later, after a period of flight, Xiaoliu finally landed in a room in the backyard of Zhizhou Mansion in Pingzhou City.
Should I say it or not, Er Pang really wants to get one.
After much deliberation in his mind, Er Pang decided to take the risk and give it a try.
What made Lao Hei so depressed was mainly because he had never seen that Haidongqing before. It was too flexible in the air.
From that moment on, Lao Hei felt that his left hand was very weak. Under such circumstances, were you kidding me if you asked him to shoot down a Haidongqing who looked like the king of the air?
At that time, he wielded the steel whip produced from the blind box of the system and smashed the Tianling Cap of a Jurchen warrior into the deformation mouth, and was hit on the left shoulder with an iron bone by the other party.
Hai Dongqing's thing is in the air, it is like the overlord of the sky.
After seeing such a scene, Lao Hei felt so proud that he could brag about such a thing for at least ten years...
But after Zhang Jue opened the note and saw the code word "chubing" on it, which meant sending troops, his face suddenly became bitter.
Therefore, even though he now knows that the battle situation in Haiyang City is extremely difficult, he is still powerless and has no way to send any reinforcements there.
And Xiao Liu, who heard the whistle, deserved to be tamed by Er Pang who put a lot of effort into it.
Er Pang also lived up to expectations. He spent a lot of time in Pingzhou City for half a month and domesticated a total of six pigeons.
That speed and posture are full of indescribable beauty.
In addition, you need to plan carefully how to put it.
Er Pang and the others were not sure whether Pingzhou City had sent messengers here; but they sent out three batches of messengers, totaling nine people.
Immediately after turning around, he flew towards the city wall; Lao Hei gritted his teeth and suddenly drew the bow in his hand to full capacity.
But before releasing it, he decided to share the risk.
To be honest, Zhang Jue can definitely handle this.
The result? But two hours later, only one or two hundred soldiers were left and fled back in embarrassment.
At most two or three seconds later, the shot-pierced Haidongqing fell from the air like a piece of bird droppings.
Then, the homing pigeon nicknamed Xiaoliu flew a distance of two to three hundred meters. He kept looking up at the sky and realized in horror.
After Erpang saw this, he also kissed the pigeon's head with a kiss, and said softly: "Xiao Liu, you must work hard~"
Although the casualties caused by last night's battle have not yet been calculated, it is absolutely certain that the casualties were very heavy and the remaining defense forces were seriously insufficient.
A boy who had been guarding here for a long time, after feeding Xiao Liu a handful of wheat grains, quickly took out a small piece of paper from the small bamboo tube on his feet.
Finally, when Xiaoliu flew to a distance of sixty or seventy meters from the city wall, Lao Hei, who had calculated the flight path of the Haidongqing, released his fingertips and let the arrow fly out.
.
According to what the soldiers said, his most trusted general was easily killed by the ambushed Jurchens on the way.
The trusted general who was dispatched two days ago led a thousand cavalry to Haiyang City.
Ever since these messengers on fast horses set off from the seemingly calm north gate.
The pigeons that poor Erpang had worked so hard to tame were unable to fight back in the air and were easily killed like little chickens.
As a result, the five animals in front were all killed by the Jurchens within a mile or two of flying.
But he also knew how difficult the current situation was, so after swearing, he did what he should do, and he did it again.
Now it's like a cow drowning in the sea, and no news has come back.
Although he was thinking about Hai Dongqing in his mind, Er Pang didn't hesitate in his actions; immediately, he blew a whistle in his mouth with a "dudu~" sound.
Fortunately, at this moment, a guard rushed into the room and said:
"Sir, the Dengzhou Navy of the Song Dynasty is back~"
Even though the Jurchens' 3,000 cavalry appeared outside the city twice, they did not launch any attacks; but he, who knew that his lips were dying and his teeth were cold, anticipated the difficulty of the battlefield in Haiyang City.
From among the white clouds above his head, Hai Dongqing, a majestic horse, suddenly swooped down like this.
The specific measure was that he solemnly told Lao Hei, the only sniper left in the team who had heavy dark circles under his eyes:
"Old Hei, this is the last homing pigeon we have on hand.
In this way, they don't know what the situation is like in Pingzhou City; for example, whether the Jurchen army has attacked the city, whether the second trip of Dengzhou Navy to transport personnel has come, and how many people are still there today.
Stranded at the dock?
Of course, the most important thing for them at the moment is the arrival of reinforcements.
There were two heads inside, which were shot dead by the Jurchen archers in their sight; the remaining three were all killed by the fangs and claws of a Haidongqing raised by the Jurchens.
Although the carrier pigeon cannot fly back and forth, after successfully releasing the carrier pigeon, it can at least urge Zhang Jue to send troops.
Let it go? The success rate of the homing pigeon arriving at Pingzhou City safely is really too low.
Besides, during the battle last night.
After saying that, the homing pigeon was released.
The main thing is that Hu Biao, who is so stubborn, told me that he must find a way to contact Pingzhou City today, so that he has to take a risk.
Therefore, we asked Pingzhou City for help, hoping that a support force could be sent there. Even if there were only three to five hundred people, it would be a very important key to Haiyang City.
You know, because Ali is now responsible for treating diseases and rescuing people, the task of raising homing pigeons fell to Erpang, who also had some talents in animal affinity.
After hearing this sentence, Lao Hei's reply was: "What the hell~"
No matter how they can defeat the Jurchen army under a double attack, as long as half of them can rush into Haiyang City to help defend, the mission has been completed.
He ran all the way and delivered it to Zhang Jue's hands.
After taking a deep breath, he forced himself into the calmest state; after loading a heavy arrow on the bow in his hand, he nodded to Er Pang, indicating that he was ready.
Even if the opponent was hit with a steel whip first and hit the iron bone on his shoulder, the force would not be too great.
After hearing such a sentence, Zhang Jue immediately became overjoyed, because since the Dengzhou Navy left, it was two days later than expected and there was no trace.
He thought that the Dengzhou Navy was not planning to come back again.
It's a pity that even if the Dengzhou Navy comes, it doesn't seem to be of any help in solving the crisis in Haiyang City; damn, this is a dead end...
