Chapter 174 Turning point!
Seeing this, Liu Mo immediately ordered a rocket to strike back.
"Swoosh, swosh, swosh!" A rain of fire hit. Strangely, there was no movement outside the city.
Out of curiosity, a soldier of Daxia subconsciously looked at it, which immediately attracted dozens of bows and arrows to respond. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and was lucky enough, so he escaped.
"Sir, they covered the board with raw animal skins, and the rockets didn't work!"
At this time, Liu Mo noticed the arrow on his helmet and felt a little worried about laughing when he was sweating for him.
"Zhao Da, I don't care what method you use. Just one stick of incense, get me a big pot of oil."
"Son-in-law, is it the same trick?"
Thinking of the horrifying scene when the boiling oil was poured on the spies of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Da got goosebumps all over his body.
"Yes, go quickly!"
Zhao Da took the order to go.
The Zhou Dynasty's army was several times that of the Daxia defenders, and the suppression of firepower forced the Daxia soldiers on the city wall to dare not show their heads.
"Sir, that ghost thing is coming."
Liu Mo clearly heard its creaking and rolling sound, "Blow the horn!" he ordered.
The soldiers who are sticking to the aisle of the city gate must be reminded.
Suddenly, the strange thing stopped.
"Can Lord Liu Mo be on the city wall?" A Zhou Dynasty soldier roared outside the city gate at the top of his voice.
What is this for? Liu Mo frowned. "Tell me quickly if you have something to say, and let me free if you have nothing to do!"
"Please allow me to retrieve the soldiers' bodies."
"Dream!" Liu Mo yelled back.
"Mr. Liu, this matter is not discussed with you!" The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty said in a cold tone. "My Zhou Dynasty army will arrive soon. If you don't know the good or bad, the day when the city is broken, you will be massacred all the people in the Rongcheng City, and no one will be left behind!"
Damn it, I know that it was taught by Yang Yizhi. It seems simple and rough, but in fact it contains too many implications.
My Zhou Dynasty just collected a body and did not ask you to surrender. I don’t agree with this. I will not blame me when the massacre of the city. If I agree, God knows whether the other party will make a fraud in the middle of the journey. At the same time, it is too embarrassing!
"You can take back the soldiers' bodies. You can tell Yang Yizhi to retreat for thirty miles!"
"Brother Liu, I knew you would say this, and I can't blame you for your brother." The Zhou Dynasty soldier shouted again, "In three days, you will definitely break Rongcheng and take care of yourself!"
After saying that, the ghost thing creaked again and gradually left the city gate.
Breaking the city in three days! It means that the Zhou Dynasty's large troops will arrive within three days?
Where are our reinforcements? Liu Mo was frowning.
There are only 5,600 local defenders in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province and cannot support Rongcheng.
But in addition, the Great Xia Dynasty also had nine major towns to protect the mountains and rivers. The nearest Jiangyuan Town is only seven days away from Rongcheng. Logically speaking, it should be faster than the Zhou Dynasty's troops.
Could it be that Emperor Daxia is a fool? He is cowardly and stupid? He gave up Jiang Lin Mansion? He gave up new salt?
Or maybe the eldest prince is jealous of the last incident, and the army is actually near Jianglin. He wants to use the hands of the Zhou army to get rid of me and fight him again in the final battle?
There is this possibility! But the problem is coming again.
What is the sixth prince doing? He can't beat the eldest prince and abandon his troops to protect his army?
Looking around subconsciously, the Daxia defenders around him had lost one-third of them, and there were more than one hundred wounded soldiers, and less than half of them could continue fighting!
Not only that, the days of fighting have exhausted them, and the delayed reinforcements have led to a sluggish morale.
"Brother Liu, why are you stunned?" Zhu Min, who came to change the duty, patted his shoulder.
When Liu Mo realized it, he found that it was already afternoon.
Over the morning again!
He realized how tired he was, and I had to sleep for a while, even for two hours.
"Go back and rest, leave it to my elder brother!" Zhu Min said.
"If Yang Yizhi has any new actions, remember to wake me up." Liu Mo told him.
"must!"
Liu Mo hugged Zhu Min, then turned around and left.
He had just lie straight on his narrow bed and fell asleep immediately.
Dreams, strange and amorphous, full of strange words, shouts and shouts, and low and loud horns, the monotonous and thick bass kept wandering in the air.
When I woke up, it was dark outside the window, and Zhao Da stood in front of me. "Son-in-law, General Zhu asked you to go there immediately."
In a daze, his first thought was that he would not lose it, right? He rubbed his eyes and asked uneasily: "What's the matter?"
"Good news!" Zhao Da told him excitedly.
"Reinforcements are here?"
Zhao Da shook his head, "Son-in-law, you will know when you go!"
Put on my shoes, Zhao Dali led the way to the room where Zhu Min was.
"Brother, come and see what this is?" Zhu Min said, showing him the pigeon in his hand.
"Carry pigeon!!!" Liu Mo immediately reacted.
"Haha, that's right! I've been here a lot before, but they were all shot down by miscellaneous pieces outside the city!" Zhu Min smiled, "Just count it as much as it can. Look, this arrow is about to be a pot of broth!"
Liu Mo was not in the mood to joke, "Is there any news of reinforcements?"
"Of course there is!" After saying that, Zhu Min handed a wrinkled piece of letter paper to Liu Mo.
So that's it! A big rock fell in Liu Mo's heart.
Based on the information on the letter paper, Liu Mo learned.
Ten thousand reinforcements from Jiangyuan Town can reach Rongcheng within two days. They also sent news with flying pigeons. Unfortunately, all the carrier pigeons were defeated by the Zhou army stationed outside Rongcheng.
Yang Yizhi said that Rongcheng would be destroyed within three days, and he must have found out the news.
"Haha, brother, finally, the clouds clear and the moon bright."
Seeing Yueming? Liu Mo's face darkened, "Brother Zhu, is it too early to say it?" He said in a cold tone, "The next two days will be the most difficult time!"
Rongcheng is such a strategic location, and it is the first big city on the border between the Zhou Dynasty and Daxia. If you capture this city, you can attack and retreat and defend. How could Yang Yizhi give up easily!
"Come and kill one, and two and kill one pair, I'm afraid he's so scared!"
Liu Mo sneered, you said lightly.
Suddenly, a bold idea flashed through his mind.
"Brother Zhu, when you came to Rongcheng, did you also bring carrier pigeons?"
"This is natural, why do you ask this?" Zhu Min was surprised.
"Because I have a crazy plan!" Liu Mo told him.
~~~
Three days later, at midnight, it rained heavily in the sky in Rongcheng, and the sky was pitch black, and the dull air signaled the coming storm.
Suddenly, a dazzling light cut through the clouds, and the lightning fangs pierced on the hills in the east. At that moment, Liu Mo saw clearly the scene below like a nightmare during the day.
The ground outside the city wall was filled with black figures, some were short and fat, some were tall and strong, wearing a helmet, holding a spear and a bark.
It is roughly estimated that at least 10,000 Zhou Dynasty soldiers were lined up in an order. Liu Mo knew that this was not all, and there were more Zhou Dynasty soldiers in the distance as reserves ready to go!
Lightning rolled in the air, and the pouring rain fell mercilessly.
Liu Mo and Zhu Min stood on the city wall, and they were shocked when they saw such a scene.
"Did you see it? The mess of Yang's surname!" Zhu Min pointed ahead.
Liu Moding's eyes saw Yang Yizhi riding on a white war horse. He was lightly equipped tonight, with a layer of shiny copper scales covered with black mail, and his weapon was a spear.
Chapter completed!
