After listening to Xiao Yiyuan's story, Xia Jin pondered for a long time, such as Tao.
"I have some doubts about what you said. I will immediately inform the Chinese housekeeper of the people in Micha's house, especially those who serve in Dongyuan."
Xiao Yiyuan nodded and took over the conversation in a deep voice.
At this time, there is a burly General Li Tong with armor, stains on his face and blood stains on his body. He rushes into the courtyard and directly breaks into the side hall, interrupting the conversation between Xiao Yiyuan and Xia Jin.
"Lord Yi, the west gate is under fierce attack from the enemy. The leader is wan Yanke, the first valiant general under Wan yanfeihong."
Wanyan Ke is born with divine power, bloodthirsty and cruel. He is the nephew of Wanyan Feihong.
This time, Wanyan Feihong sent him to lead the army in person. It can be seen that the day when he wanted to launch a general attack was not far away.
Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Xiao Yiyuan said goodbye to Xia Jin and told him to take care of his health. Then he left quickly with Li Tong and rushed to the west gate.
……
Time flies with the flames of war
The siege of xichengmen has lasted for three days.
During this period, Xiao Yiyuan personally commanded on the city tower. Both sides used explosive packs, and the battle was fierce. Both the garrison inside the city and the enemy outside the city suffered heavy casualties.
The city wall was blasted out several big holes by the fierce fire of Beiyou explosives. In order to block the holes, the soldiers in the city paid a heavy price.
At the same time, the north gate and the south gate were attacked by the enemy from time to time.
It is obvious that Wanyan Feihong's move is in response to Wanyan Ke, so that Xiao Yiyuan can't concentrate the strength of the city's garrison on the west gate and fight with Wanyan Ke wholeheartedly.
However, the situation seems to be dominated by Wanyan Feihong, but it is not.
In this tense situation, Xiao Yiyuan ordered the craftsmen to work day and night, and in only one and a half days, he made ten three bow crossbows.
Qin Yu and Wu Zhong, who were punished for assisting him in his actions, also seized the time, went through all kinds of hardships, overcame all kinds of difficulties, and transported the successful three bow bed crossbow to the top of Qifeng mountain from the climbing channel.
After three days of recuperation in summer, the body became better.
Seeing that there are a large number of three bows and crossbows, she is afraid that Qin Yu will not be able to command them. She persuades Qin Yu to bully Wu Zhong, Ting Feng, Dongfang Youhua, Luo Han, and Xiao Qi, who are hidden in the dark, so that they will not tell Xiao Yiyuan that she has decided to go to the top of Qifeng, who is still in charge of the war outside the east gate.
As night falls, the west gate of Shicheng is still in flames of war, and the north and South gates are attacked by the enemy from time to time.
The war did not end with the coming of night.
Everything seems to be the same as the previous three days, but it is quietly changing in the dark.
Xia Jin with Qin Yu and others, in the cold moonlight, arrived at the top of the mountain.
Qifeng mountain intercepted the Beiyou army horizontally, and made it go to the east gate. The plan of encircling Shicheng was born dead.
However, the enemy camp in Beiyou is not far away. If the torch is lit in the middle of the night, Wanyan Feihong will find it. Once he guesses and makes preparations before their actions, his plan for tonight will fail.
Therefore, Xia Jin discussed with Qin Yu and others that when adjusting the position and elevation angle of the crossbow, the torch was not lit, but the bright and dark cold moon in the night sky overhead.
Because of the lack of moonlight, people's action was not smooth. It was midnight when everything was ready.
At this time, except for the soldiers who were still fighting at night in Shicheng, the rest of the army were in the garrison. Except for the patrol soldiers, the rest of them were asleep.
At the right time, Xia Jin and Qin Yu look at each other and immediately order the soldiers to ignite a three arrow with fuel at the end of the arrow, and then quickly clip it into the slot. Wu Zhong and others also help.
With a command, the rocket suddenly left the slot and attacked the enemy camp in the dark
Because the arrow fuel is special, even if the arrow leaves the slot, its speed is extremely fast, and the fire light on it is not eliminated. Instead, the fire helps the wind.
A large number of three arrows were shot into the Beiyou camp, and the tent was lit. The night wind encouraged the fire, so the soldiers could not put it out. The enemy camp soon became a sea of fire, illuminating half of the sky.
"Bang Bang..."
Finally, the fire of Chenghai spread to Beiyou's military tent where explosives were stored. The sound of successive explosions was deafening, and the ground was shaking.
Wanyan Feihong has fallen asleep at this time. He sat up and quickly got out of bed, put on his boots, put on his coat, and took the long gun to fight.
As soon as he stepped out of the account, a deputy general rushed forward and fell to his knees with anger and fear on his face
"Marshal, Xiao Yiyuan is really cunning. He personally directs the battle in the city wall to distract our attention. In fact, he secretly sends people to climb the top of Qifeng mountain, and shoots rockets at our camp from there to detonate the explosive magazine, causing heavy casualties among the soldiers."
"No, Xiao Yiyuan will take advantage of the night to fight back. You immediately reorganize the surviving soldiers and prepare for the battle. In addition, after sending an order to Yanke to withdraw, the main generals of the north and South gates will cut off the rear of the Dongqing army and kill them when they kill our army camp."
Wanyan Feihong is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield. Even in the face of such a bad situation, he can make the most sensible arrangement in the shortest time.
However, how could Xiao Yiyuan's wisdom be inferior to him?
……
On the wall of Xicheng gate, Xiao Yiyuan witnessed the scene of the enemy camp in Xichuan becoming a sea of fire and explosions.
Knowing that the actions of Qin Yu and others are successful, a bloodthirsty sense of war emerges on his cold and solemn face.
He paid close attention to the movements of the enemy forces under the city. Soon, he saw a soldier with a military order flag on his back, coming from the direction of the enemy camp in Beiyou, riding fast towards Wan Yanke, who was commanding the battle before the battle.
The man quickly dismounted and rushed to the front of Yan Ke's horse.
In his sight, Xiao Yiyuan saw Wan Yanke bend down and listen to the soldier's words.
When the soldier's order was finished and he retreated, Wan Yanke's face suddenly changed.
He quickly summoned the messenger, gave the order to stop the siege, and immediately withdrew the base camp
After wanyanke led his troops to withdraw, without hesitation, Xiao Yiyuan immediately led the soldiers who had been in the city for many days, rode on their horses, and quickly killed the general of the enemy camp in Beiyou.
Wanyankezheng leads his troops to withdraw, but Xiao Yiyuan suddenly leads his troops to pursue him, which completely disrupts the formation of his rear army.
In the chaos, Wan Yanke's troops suffered heavy casualties, and the situation fell to one side.
However, at this time, Wanyan Feihong personally leads the soldiers of Beiyou who survived the fire and explosion to help Wanyan Ke. The battle is very anxious
At the same time, the general of Beiyou, who was ordered to attack the north gate and the south gate, also received an order and immediately sent his troops back, intending to form a encirclement of the army led by Xiao Yiyuan.
