Hu Xian's call for help was immediately spread to Yangchuan and Bailin, and the commander-in-chief of the two cities was Li Rong and Lu Hongming.
Li Rong's identity is not simple. He is the cousin of Li Jin, a general of the state of mo. however, he is still a real scholar. He is proficient in military tactics and is good at commanding the army. He has made many military achievements in the battlefield of Ningguo, which is highly appreciated by Shao Fang.
Lu Hongming is a civil servant, but he is more thorough in the study of war books and tactics than Li Rong. In addition, he is quick in thinking and eloquent in talking about the art of war. Even the veteran general who has been commander-in-chief for many years can not compare with him.
In Shao Fang's eyes, Li Rong and Lu Hongming were outstanding generals of Mo state. He felt very relieved that they were guarding the border.
After receiving Hu Xian's urgent message, Li Rong and Lu Hongming were both surprised. They were more or less surprised by the large-scale invasion of the wind force. However, their choices were surprisingly consistent. They did not immediately send troops to rescue Shuizhen. Instead, they sat and watched the changes.
In Lu Hongming's view, the invasion of the Feng army was still a bluff. Its purpose was to bring back the army that had invaded the jade kingdom. He didn't dare to go into the water to attack.
However, Li Rong, who had not sent troops, thought differently from Lu Hongming. He was worried. Li Rong thought that if the wind force dared to take the water town directly, he must have been well prepared. If his side rescued the town hastily, he might have suffered the plot of the army.
He specially sent a large number of spies to observe the movement of the Feng army. In addition, he also specially asked people to investigate between Yangchuan and Shuishui towns to see if there was an ambush in Fengguo.
Li Rong is worthy of being an excellent commander-in-chief. Although it is only 300 Li from Yangchuan to Shuishui Town, the road is not easy to walk. There are many hills and depressions, so it is easy to ambush. Before he sent troops to help the water, he had already prevented the wind force from using the encirclement to fight for help.
If he ran into an ordinary opponent, he might find out his flaws. This time, he met the Pingyuan army, and the leader of the ambush was Wu Guang, who was experienced. Wu Guang ambushed in the middle section between Yangchuan and Shuishui. The ambush was far away from the official road. Moreover, Wu Guang sent a small group of wind troops as secret sentries. Once he found Mo Guo's spies, he would kill them.
Li Rong sent the eye liner to Wu Guang's ambush, and it was rather baffling and unintelligible.
However, the disappearance of a large number of spies still aroused Li Rong's vigilance, which made him more determined not to send troops hastily.
The ninth and tenth regiments of the plain army, headed by Xiao MuQing, have only 20000 people in the two regiments. If you include the logistics team and other non combatant personnel of the regiment, the maximum number is 30000. However, when advancing to Shuishui Town, the team is very long, and everyone is not idle. The basic staff has a big flag and a small flag behind it. Because there are many flags, the distance between people will be widened It doesn't look loose. If you observe from a distance, the whole team of the plain army is flying with embroidered ribbons, and the flag is like a forest. It is so vast that it stretches for more than ten miles, and the lineup is surprisingly large.
Such a team, not to mention 100000, will make people believe, even if they say 150000 or 200000.
Xiao MuQing led such a "large army" which only had its own appearance to arrive at Shuishui town.
Five miles away from Shuishui Town, Xiao MuQing ordered to set up a camp. He didn't care whether the camp was firm or not, but it had to be big. If it looked like it could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, it would be the best. At his command, the whole army moved, cutting wood, digging soil, building stockade walls, and about 30000 Fengjun troops built barracks in an orderly manner.
The plain army was well-trained and fast. In only two hours, the camp had begun to take shape. According to Xiao MuQing's requirements, the soldiers did not ask for quality, but only for the area. The camp occupied more than ten miles. Looking inside, the barracks were lined up in rows, and the barracks were densely packed and magnificent. In the open spaces of the barracks, the wind troops also set up many grass men and put on their armor. If you look at them from a distance, it is difficult to tell whether they are true or not.
At the same time, Xiao MuQing led his two army commanders, more than ten generals and thousands of wind troops to carry out the stone throwing machines and broken city crossbows of the plain army, and set up a formation two miles outside the town of Shuishui.
Xiao MuQing sat on his horse and looked up at Shuishui town. The town was similar to a small city, and its walls were also high. On the wall, there were closely pressed Mo troops, and the flags of Mo were all over the city.
Looking around for a moment, Xiao MuQing sneered, turned to the side, and asked the left and right lightly: "who would like to take the lead and go to the enemy's curse?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a general named Gao Chang urged his horse to step forward two times. He bowed his hands and exclaimed in a loud voice: "general, I'm willing to go."
Xiao MuQing took a look at him, nodded, and said calmly: "accurate!"
With his approval, Gao Chang knocked his feet on the stirrup and roared, urging his horse to rush out of the battle. In a blink of an eye, he had reached the distance of a hundred paces outside the town of Shuishui. At this time, a sharp arrow flew down from the head of the city and was nailed to the ground in front of the horse.
The horse hissed, its front hooves raised high, and it turned twice before it stopped. Gao Chang steadied his horse, raised his head and looked at the city head. He pointed to the sword in his hand and cried out: "I am Gao Chang, the general of Fengguo plain army! Mo Guo's children, which one came out to die? "
At this time, Hu Xian, the commander of the state of Mo, was at the head of the city. In his eyes, he could see the thousands of siege equipment placed outside the city. He could see clearly that there was no need to fight. He could only look at the formation of the wind force. Seeing the wind coming to challenge him, he took a breath and said to the left and right in a hurry: "no one can go to war without the command of this general."Needless to say, no one in Mo's army planned to go out of the city. Now, after listening to his orders, the generals of the Mo army were relieved. The soldiers will be in full swing. Hu Xian is a fearless and timid man. Where can his generals get?
Gaochang, outside the city, yelled three times. No one answered in the town, and no one responded to it. Gaochang was more powerful. He rode his horse around in front of the city with a knife in his hand. At the same time, he laughed and said, "Mo Guo Xiao'er, you know that you are going to die in the first battle. I'd like to advise you that there is still a way to surrender if you wait for our military university At the time of attack, there will be no chicken or dog left in the town, and no grass will grow in the town! "
Oops! Hu Xian was grinning and sweating on the edge of the city. He asked tremblingly, "have the people we sent to Yangchuan and Bailin have delivered the letter for help?"
"Reply to the general. It has already been delivered."
"But what about our reinforcements? Now that the wind force is under the city, why has Yangchuan and Bailin reinforcements not arrived yet? "
"This" Hu Xian's generals can not answer.
"Send for help at once. In any case, send for reinforcements!" Hu Xian was so anxious that he scratched his ears and scratched his cheek. He said in a trembling voice, "the wind force has many troops. I'm afraid that it is not only the plain army. Once we wait for the other side to attack, we must besiege the city. By then, we can't go out if we want to send people out of the city for help."
After saying this, Hu Xian was still standing in the same place. Hu Xian was anxious and angry. He stamped his feet and cried out, "you are going. What are you doing?"
"Ah? Ah, yes, yes, general. At the end of the day, the general will send for help. "
For the second time, Mo Jun of Shuishui town sent a man on a fast horse to Yangchuan and Bailin, and then asked Li Rong and Lu Hongming for help. The men they sent just left Shuishui town from the East and West, and the plain army also sounded the bugle of attack.
Of course, the plain army will not directly put its forces into the siege. After all, they have only 20000 soldiers to fight against. As long as they launch the siege, they will have to show off immediately. Xiao MuQing orders his own riprap machines and city breaking crossbows to start. They do not have to reserve any. They should suppress and test their opponents with continuous long-range attacks.
At present, although the plain army has allocated 80000 troops and most of its generals, the ambush can not use large weapons such as stone throwing machines and broken city crossbows. The whole army's stone throwing machines and broken city crossbows are basically on their 20000 hands. At this time, they launched together, and the momentum was terrible.
For a moment, the wind forces' camp was filled with sounds of mechanical rotation and ejection. Thousands of stone bombs flew into the air, drawing a series of arcs and smashing at the walls of Shuishui town. In the same way, thousands of crossbows and arrows pierced the sky with piercing howls and pierced the battlements of the wall mercilessly.
But in an instant, the walls of the town were blooming everywhere. The roar, the breaking of the walls, and the screams of the people mingled together. The city's head was full of flesh and blood, with stones splashing and smoke billowing. It became a living world.
The local army of Mo has never seen such a fierce attack, and even the shadow of the attackers of the wind force has not seen. They have been hit by the attack, dizzy and miserable.
"General, the attack of the wind force is too fierce. Let's get down the wall quickly." The local army generals were guarding Hu Xian and ran to the city.
Hu Xian held his head and ran down to the city, shouting: "continue to send for reinforcements." before his words fell, a huge stone bullet fell from the sky and hit him not far in front of him. Two Mo soldiers who were running down the city were hit right. Before they could even make a sound, they were smashed into mud on the spot, and the blood and flesh splashed all over Hu Xian's face and body.
He saw it clearly, and his legs were weak, and he almost didn't collapse to the ground. He cried: "send for reinforcements again. As long as we don't see the reinforcements, we will send people again and again"
Hu Xian and the generals withdraw from the city. The other Mo soldiers can't stay in the city. They crowd under the city, shouting and horse neighing North of the city wall is a mess.
