Chapter 691

Xu Erlang pointed to the map and said:

"Songshan county is one of the important strongholds of Yang Buzheng's second line of defense. If Songshan county is preserved, the grain and grass of Qingzhou can be transported to the south by Songhe route.

"The whole northwest with Songshan County as the focus can serve as the rear area of our army and support our army's entanglement with the Yunzhou rebels."

Miao Youfang looks over his head. On the map, Xu Erlang uses charcoal to draw the city occupied by Yunzhou army. "Songshan county" is like a nail embedded in the northwest of the rebel advance line.

"If you draw like this, I can see the importance of Songshan county. I wonder why Yang Buzheng attached so much importance to such a small broken County, although you often say that it is an important base of defense.

"But I don't have a clear idea of what's important... It's clear at a glance. "

Miao Youfang nodded as he looked:

"Erlang is worthy of the title of two top scholars. He is a scholar from Yunlu academy, and I am very pleased."

"Read more books when you have time to improve your rhetoric." Xu Erlang's calm reply.

He is quite experienced in the face of a crude warrior.

Never get angry easily.

Xu Erlang continued:

"unless the Yunzhou rebels are defeated in the two fronts of Dongling and Wanjun, they have to increase their forces and put into the battlefield, and they are unable to support Zhuo Haoran, otherwise, Zhuo Haoran will not withdraw, but will wait for support."

Dongling, Wanjun and Songshan constitute the second line of defense.

"What shall we do?" Miao Youfang asked if he didn't understand.

"There are plenty of food and grass in the city and Zizhong who are guarding the city. Naturally, they can't stick to it and wait for Yang Bu's help." Xu Xinnian pondered:

"the premise is that the battles between Dongling and Wanjun will not be too fierce."

"What if it's tragic?" Miao Youfang asked if he didn't understand.

"Then be prepared to stand alone and fight a protracted war." Xu new year sighs.

Dongling and Wanjun are relatively more important than Songshan county.

Fortunately, before he sent out his troops, sun Xuanji gave him a large number of heavy firearms, including artillery, bed crossbow, cart crossbow, and firearm, all of which were sharp weapons for guarding the city.

As for fire oil, rolling wood and other materials, Songshan county is rich in reserves.

Dafeng Garrison has the strength to fight a protracted war.

, when he spoke, he summoned a centurion and ordered: "

sent out the scouts from West City, carrying pick and shovel, and creeping down the Pine River and squatting down the enemy's grain."

When the centurion was ordered to leave, Miao Youfang took the initiative to analyze: "before the reinforcements come, do you want to cut off the enemy's food?"

A few days ago, he led his cavalry to rush to the camp and killed them in a disorderly way, burning the rebel's food and grass. Even if the fire was put out in the end, the rest of the food and grass would not last for a few days.

Xu Xinnian said: "Hey, no, I'm going to destroy the official way, delay the speed of the enemy's reinforcements, and then infuriate Zhuo Haoran and force him to attack the city. In this way, we may be able to eat Zhuo Haoran's army before the rebel reinforcements arrive. "

Marching and fighting must be accompanied by the transportation of grain, grass and armaments, which depend on vehicles.

The normal movement of vehicles depends on the road.

A route with thousands of holes will greatly delay the marching speed of reinforcements.

"Brother Miao, you've just gone through a hard battle. Go to eat some meat. You have to be on duty at night."

Xu new year rubbed his swollen temple and exhaled, "I'm going to have a rest, too."

He has been awake all day and all night.

After Miao Youfang was taken away, Xu Erlang fell asleep in light armor. The hard equipment did not cause any obstacles to him, and he soon fell asleep.

This is due to the experience of going north to support demon man. At that time, the Allied forces of Dafeng and demon man were scattered, and the remnants were scattered everywhere. They would encounter crisis at any time.

As a result, he has developed the magic skill of wearing armor and falling asleep quickly.

"Dong Dong Dong......"

the dense and solemn drum sound woke Xu Erlang up. He suddenly opened his eyes, bounced up from the simple bed and subconsciously turned to look at the water leakage beside the bed. The time was four minutes.

Before dawn.

He ran out of the urn with a standard saber. It was dark, and the torch of the city was burning in the cold night.

Miao Youfang, who is on his way to Wengcheng, meets Xu Erlang's eyes and grins:

"that guy is a madman, so he takes the initiative to attack the city. It's just what we want. We don't have to think about it. "

As Xu Erlang walked towards the battlements, he frowned and said: "Zhuo Haoran is impulsive and irritable. He is easy to attack. But we haven't used the method yet, and he is not a general person. We should know that the remaining troops are not enough to attack the city.

"There's something strange about it."

Miao Youfang asked, "what's the matter?"I'm not a supervisor. How do I know?... Xu Xinnian came to the battlements and looked cautiously into the distance. With the fire of the artillery fired from the front of the city, he saw the dense enemy approaching the city.

"Is it going to burn all the stones?"

Xu Erlang frowned.

In the twinkling of his mind, he suddenly fell to his left. A shell roared and exploded in his hiding place. The fire rolled up the air waves and gravel and spattered in all directions.

Miao Youfang's blowing machine blocks away the hot air, which makes Xu Erlang avoid serious injury.

"Damn it

Xu Erlang got up in a cold sweat, cat waist, while running to the horse road, shouting:

"the catapult throws kerosene for lighting.

"Archer, firearm, get ready, don't lift the oil barrel first, lift the rolling wood first..."

under his command, the defenders launched defense and counterattack in an orderly way, with the roar of artillery and the explosion of shells everywhere.

The expanding fire burst under the city wall.

The gunner was killed and the reserves quickly filled in.

The crossbow guns were destroyed, and the militia immediately brought in new heavy firearms.

In addition, these enlisted militia, cat waist, ran back and forth on the horse path to rescue the wounded.

The fighting was extremely fierce.

Zhuo Haoran, holding a standard saber, flexibly avoided artillery, arrows, and rolling logs thrown from the city.

Get close to the gate.

As early as three days ago, the gate had been destroyed by him, but the Yunzhou army failed to pass through the gate, because the garrison had already carried tons of stones to the gate.

Only a small door was left for one person and one horse to pass through.

When guarding the city, the small gate was blocked by huge stones.

When they left the city, dozens of militiamen used hemp ropes to pull apart the boulders.

This kind of tactics was common before the warlock system appeared.

In ancient times, a stone storage warehouse was built at the gate of each city to ensure that the garrison could seal the gate quickly in wartime.

After the warlock system came into being, the important border towns and the main cities were guarded by array, and the tactics of "closing cities" were gradually abandoned.

In the past year, Yang Gong re used the tactics of city closure and ordered the counties to build warehouses and prepare for the construction of stones.

The tactics of closing a city are mainly used to guard against the masters of sipingjing. The city gate can't stop the Wufu in this realm, while the tactics of closing a city can ensure that the enemy can still be obstructed after the city gate is destroyed.

After all, the army is still dominated by ordinary soldiers and low-grade soldiers.

Zhuo Haoran jumped up, stepped on the wall for several steps, and easily climbed to the top of the city. He swept the blade and cut a gun and two Gunners into two parts.

Deng Deng Deng..... Miao Youfang stepped out of the pit one after another on the horse path, just like a mad bull, bumping into Zhuo Haoran with the body of Wupin.

Zhuo Haoran gave a ferocious smile, and the intention of the sword broke out. The standard Sabre was as red as a brand iron, and it was threatening to kill everything. It made an effort to cut the Wupin guy under the knife.

Not far away, under the protection of two bodyguards, Xu Erlang's whole body heaved a faint breath of pure air, one hand on his back, the other hand on his belly, and said in a deep voice:

"big man, you should die without regret.

"A man should be benevolent and righteous."

Yang Gong's jade pendant on his waist lights up, which adds strength to Haoran's healthy spirit.

At the same time, the bodyguard on Xu Erlang's left bent his bow and shot an arrow into the sky.

The arrow is bound with fireworks and explodes high in the sky.

Two words fall, Miao Youfang seems to play doping, the breath soared, and Zhuo Haoran eyes obviously in a trance, benevolence and righteousness two words, let him can't put the knife out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Miao Youfang gets close to him and slaps off the knife in his hand with one palm. Then he follows Zhuo Haoran's side shoulder with a lunge, and his body soars uncontrollably. Then, he is Huajin Wufu's unique skill -

a set of skills to kill you!

Xu Erlang is a person of seven grades of benevolence. What he just used is the ability of eight grades of self-cultivation -- the power of courage.

The greatest function of the power of courage is to boost morale, increase the fighting power of our own soldiers, and eliminate certain pains.

Secondly, it can affect the enemy's mind for a short time. If it is used well, it can weaken the enemy.

The advanced version is five virtues, which, as the name suggests, regulate people's behavior, and require others with "six virtues of a gentleman".

This is very similar to the Buddhist precepts.

It's just that there's no room for precepts to be advanced, and virtue, if you go one step further, is to follow the law.

At that point, to regulate people's behavior, we don't need "six virtues of a gentleman", and we can do it arbitrarily and forcibly.

Bang!

Miao Youfang's move was interrupted by Zhuo Haoran, who came back to his mind. He got a kick in his lower abdomen and immediately flew out, rolling on the horse path.

Zhuo Haoran, regardless of the embarrassed Miao Youfang, tramples on the wall and kills Xu Erlang with a clear goal.In the past few sieges, this scholar from Yunlu academy made him suffer a lot. Relying on the short-term restraint of Confucian magic, he cooperated with a Wupin Wufu, and repeatedly made him fail.

Miao Youfang's elbows and feet ploughed deep marks on the ground, forced to release the force, and opened his palm to shoot two shells in the basket throwing at Zhuo Haoran.

Then it is ignited by gas engine.

"Boom!"

Zhuo Haoran will be shrouded in the expansion of the fire, Xu Erlang took the opportunity to retreat under the protection of the bodyguard.

He was extremely calm, and did not fear being chased and killed by a Sipin Wufu. After Zhuo Haoran rushed out of the fire group, he once again encouraged Qingqi:

"harmony is the most important thing for a gentleman.

"A gentleman should sacrifice his life for righteousness."

Miao Youfang face ferocious from the side to save, and Zhuo Haoran entangled rolling down the city.

Dangdang... In the process, the two men fought hand to hand, and the enemy who climbed along the ladder was affected and fell screaming.

Miao Youfang is defeated quickly, and is opened by Zhuo Haoran. Then, butcher Zhuo holds his hand like a knife. The knife aims at Miao Youfang's chest.

When it was, a sharp spear shot like a comet, which interrupted Zhuo Haoran's attack and forced him to wave his hand to block.

Zhu Jun flew over the wall and came at the critical moment.

With the strength of Xu Erlang and Miao Youfang, it's hard to cope with Zhuo Haoran. When Zhuo Haoran attacks the city, Xu Erlang will let people take fireworks as a letter and inform Zhujun of the north gate.

Zhu Jun knew that the fourth grade of the enemy was here, and he would come immediately.

"Bang!"

Miao Youfang took the opportunity to break free, stepped on the wall, returned to the city and stood by Xu Erlang.

After splitting, he returned to the city wall.

Zhu Jun then interposes between the two sides, beckons for a long gun and confronts with Zhuo Haoran.

Zhuo Haoran glanced over Zhu Jun, looked at Xu Xinnian in the rear, and sneered: "I once boasted Haikou in front of the general, and captured Songshan County in five days. Now it's the eighth day, the city has not been captured, and more than half of its elite are lost.

"I didn't expect that Lao Tzu's fame was planted on you yellow haired boy."

Xu Erlang calmly said: "it's not wrong for my son to be planted on Laozi."

With a flash of anger on his face, Zhuo Haoran held back his emotion and said slowly:

"do you know why I'm attacking the city tonight?"

This is exactly what Xu Erlang was puzzled about, but he only gave a light response:

"because you are tired of living."

"I don't have to be angry with a dying man, because the elite that the national teacher has devoted himself to training has come," said Zhuo Haoran

"Li ~"

suddenly, a high pitched and sharp cry came from the horizon.

At this time, the East is slightly white, and the sky is green.

Under the deep blue sky, a group of giant creatures flapped their wings and swept towards Songshan county.

"Rosefinch army!"

Zhuo Haoran looked at the horizon, drew back his eyes, and said with a grim smile:

"today's ruined city, I will slaughter three days and three nights."

Xu Erlang's pupils contracted.

...

Southern Xinjiang.

Xu Qi'an summoned the pagoda, and the door of the pagoda opened to cast a beam of light.

In the light beam is mu Nanzhi holding Bai Ji.

"What can I do for you?"

He took back the pagoda and looked at Bai Ji.

Little fox sent a message to him through taling, saying that there was something important to discuss.

Mu Nanzhi's eyes, the first time to Xu Qi'an side of Luo Yuheng.
