Chapter 394: Town terrain, desperate golden soldiers
"Okay!" Shen Tang nodded, "There is a night road ahead, but fortunately it is still early. So, here, let the soldiers bury the pot and make rice, first eat their stomachs, and then climb over Fangshan .After it arrives, I’m afraid there won’t necessarily be time to repair it.”
After receiving Shen Tang's order, the army stopped. The soldiers let the horses rest and took out the dry food they had brought with them to use...
About twenty or thirty miles north of Fangshan is the underground town that Shen Tang and others aimed at this time.
This town is not big, and the small city is less than two miles long. To the north of Xiashui City is Baishan Mountain, and the Great Wall Pass here is built on Baishan Mountain.
In such barren mountains and ridges, there are naturally not many ordinary people. Therefore, it is better to say that it is a town than a military town. The reason why this town can be formed is because the Great Wall Pass in Xiashui Town is extremely important, and there are many people there all year round. Soldiers were stationed there. Therefore, some of the soldiers' families gradually settled down in the city, forming such a small town.
The town is built on the mountain, high in the north and low in the south! To the south, it leads directly to the flat land between the two mountains. To the north, it extends to a location not far from the Great Wall Pass. The reason for this form is that Because this pass exists mainly to guard against enemies coming from the north.
As for the south of the town, it is the rear area protected by the Great Wall, so the defensive force naturally becomes extremely weak.
As Shen Tang guessed, after Heihan and Zhuo arrived, they devoted most of their strength to the defense of the pass. As for the town, there were only less than 10,000 troops. Even so, these 10,000 troops were still Almost all of them were disabled soldiers.
Three days ago, a Xixia army of 30,000 to 40,000 men appeared unexpectedly in the north of Xiashui Town! The short southern city wall had almost no effect and was directly breached by the Xixia army.
All the injured and injured in the city were slaughtered by the Xixia army. When Heihan, Zhuo and others stationed at the Great Wall reacted, the entire town had completely fallen into the hands of the Xixia army.
At what time, the situation of 30,000 to 40,000 gold soldiers was directly forced into a desperate situation! To the north, there is the long Xixia military camp under the Great Wall. To the south, there is the north wall of Xiashui Town guarded by the Xixia army!
It has to be said that the Jin Kingdom still spent a lot of effort on the construction of this pass. According to the original layout, even if the enemy in the north really breaks through the pass above the Great Wall, they will still have to face the pass next. Blocking the next line of defense. Therefore, the North City Wall of Xiashui Town is not only built extremely high, but also draws nearby water to form a moat. Therefore, the North City Wall is definitely a dangerous place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. .
However, Heihan and Zhuo probably never thought that this carefully constructed fortification would now become the source of despair for themselves and others. If... this Xiashui Town had not been built so solidly, what would have happened Okay? At least, I and others can fight to the death to break through. But now, facing the strong and high northern city wall, they might as well jump off the city wall directly and fight to the death with the Xixia army who are already waiting on the north side of the Great Wall...
What's more, the purpose of their army has always been to defend. Even after Heihan and Zhuo arrived, they never thought of attacking, let alone attacking the city?
The horses were all left in the city, but a large number of rolling logs, stones, tung oil and other defensive objects were prepared on the Great Wall. They faced the enemies in the north from a high position and could use these things to firmly suppress the enemies in the north. But now, do you expect them to throw stones onto the northern city wall with their hands and kill the Xixia army stationed there?
In a beacon tower, in a small space, the lights flickered, reflecting the ugly faces of Hei Khan and Zhuo.
Originally, the task assigned to him by Heshi Liezhining this time was considered extremely easy. Of course, it might be a bit more arduous than 'stationing' Shen Tang in Xijing. However, who would have thought that such an accident would happen? The Xixia army fell from the sky, and landed directly on their weak point. Now they were attacking from both sides, and they didn't even have a chance to resist, so they fell directly into death.
He really wanted to know where these damn Xixia troops came from? Could it be another force that they had never detected?
"General, what should we do?" A captain said angrily, "Our food and grass can only last for two days at most! If we don't think of a way, we will really be trapped here."
"Yes, General, why don't we break out..." Another person said irritably, "Can't we just wait here to die? When we run out of food and grass, we are hungry and directly become the turtles in the urn of the Xixia army..."
"Not bad, General..."
"bump!"
Heihan and Zhuo slapped the scimitars in their hands directly on the table, and the noisy sounds around them stopped abruptly.
"Breakout? Don't I want to break out?" Heihan and Zhuo said angrily, "But tell me, should we jump out and fight the Xixia Army in the north, or who has the means to knock down the wall of Xiashui Town in the south? Or, there are boundless barren mountains on both sides. Maybe if we enter the barren mountains, some people will be lucky enough to survive?"
His furious voice made the faces of everyone present extremely ugly. Indeed, even if there was a chance of survival, they were willing to try. But where is the chance of survival now?
"General, will the general notice something unusual here? If he can, maybe he will send troops to rescue us." Someone said with some hope.
Heihan and Zhuo were silent for a moment, but then shook their heads and said, "Although I don't know where these Xixia troops came from, the Xixia people obviously have some plans. The general should have been restrained by them in Fengzhou and wants to return for reinforcements." There is almost no hope.”
"What about Xijing City? The general has left more than 10,000 troops in Xijing City. Will he come?"
"What?" Heihan and Zhuo sighed helplessly, "Do you expect that pretty boy who came here to take credit for his achievements to save us? Moreover, even if Xijing's army arrives, there will only be 10,000 people. In Xiashui Town now, But there are nearly 40,000 Xixia soldiers. Even if they come, it will be of no use and they will put themselves in them. Now, I am a little lucky when the general arrives. The guy stationed in Xijing is this little boy, and he will never risk sending troops! In this way , at least Xijing City is still under our control..."
Seeing everyone's desperate looks, Heihan and Zhuo sighed again, "Forget it, no matter what, we must not sit still and wait for death! Let everyone have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow, take out all the food and let the sons and daughters fill their bellies. , tomorrow and night, we will break through. Just a few can survive, it is better than all of them dying here..."
