Chapter 208 Eight hundred versus forty thousand
Shen Anliang waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward, blocked the city gates, and drove the civilians back.
"The rebels are attacking the city. If the imperial envoy doesn't flee from the west gate, what are you doing here?"
Shen Anliang glanced at Zhao Yu who looked indifferent, cupped his hands coldly, and said with a slightly sarcastic tone.
Zhao Yu naturally heard the sarcasm in this guy's words, and then smiled and said: "Of course I'm here to help Mr. Shen retreat from the enemy and protect the city!"
Retreat the enemy and protect the city?
You can pull it down!!
Shen Anliang glanced at Zhao Yu, and then looked at the dozens of people following Zhao Yu.
If Zhao Yu had said this when he first came to Anqing Mansion, Shen Anliang would have believed it more or less.
But in the past few days, he had watched every move of Zhao Yu, whether he was wandering around with his subordinates or drinking and eating meat in the prefecture's inner office.
For a person like this, if he sees the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, he will wet his pants even if he doesn't drink water today!
"Even so, your Majesty, please follow me to the city!"
Shen Anliang sneered and made a gesture of invitation.
He believed that as soon as Zhao Yu went up to the tower and saw the dark crowd of rebels, he would definitely rub oil on the soles of his feet!
"please!"
Zhao Yu made an invitation with his left hand, pressed his right hand on the handle of the embroidered spring knife at his waist, and walked towards the city head first.
The others followed closely behind.
"Wait!!"
Just when Zhao Yu turned around and climbed into the city, Shen Anliang on the side stopped everyone behind Zhao Yu with a horizontal sword.
"Um?"
Zhao Yu turned around and stared calmly at Shen Anliang, who no longer looked like a civil servant at this moment.
"The war is about to begin. If a woman enters the city, it will affect the morale of our troops!"
Shen Anliang stared at Jiang Yuyan who was following Zhao Yu, and shouted in a deep voice: "Zhao Zhenfu is not a child's play!!"
"You said she..."
Zhao Yu held back his laughter and pointed at Jiang Yuyan and asked.
Shen Anliang nodded with a cold face. The battle was about to begin, but he still had the heart to take the woman to the city?
Are you here to defeat the enemy, or are you here to have fun?!
Different from Shen Anliang's seriousness, the other people in the supervisory department who were following Zhao Yu glanced at Jiang Yuyan subconsciously, and then turned to look at Shen Anliang.
A ghostly look.
It’s no wonder that Shen Anliang would say this. Except for the strong men in the supervisory department, who would have thought that this woman was the most domineering one among them?
"Oh, Master Shen, if you think it's inappropriate, you can prevent her from entering the city."
Zhao Yu smiled faintly, then changed his tone and said: "The premise is that your people have the ability to stop her!"
After saying that, Zhao Yu didn't wait for Shen Anliang to talk nonsense and directly climbed up the tower.
Jiang Yuyan glanced at Shen Anliang lightly and followed Zhao Yu.
Shen Anliang was stunned, and waved his hand to signal his soldiers to step forward and stop Jiang Yuyan.
Unexpectedly, before those soldiers could get close to the woman, their armor and swords were shattered.
And this time, Jiang Yuyan was merciful. He only shattered their armor and did not hurt them at all!
"this……"
Shen Anliang's eyes widened and he looked at that delicate and weak woman in disbelief.
"Huh, you can't see Taishan!"
Seeing Shen Anliang's surprised look, Erha snorted coldly and followed Jiang Yuyan's footsteps.
Among the people present, only Zhao Yu could suppress this girl.
…
Zhao Yu and his party went up to the city tower and looked from a distance to see the rebels slowly moving towards Anqing City like a great tide.
Not to mention, although Zhao Yu knew that with his ability, no one could stop him from leaving.
But when he saw the black cloud-like rebels for the first time, he shuddered subconsciously.
"This is 40,000 former troops..."
Seeing Zhao Yu's expression change, Shen Anliang on the side came over, pointed at the rebels who were gradually pressing in front of him, and said lightly.
"How many defenders are there in Anqing?"
Zhao Yu came to his senses and asked without looking back.
"There are 1,400 registered soldiers, but only less than 800 can actually defend the city..."
Shen Anliang smiled bitterly and directly reported the actual number to Zhao Yu without any concealment.
Anyway, from Shen Anliang's point of view, he could not escape death this time, and it didn't matter whether he talked about the empty salary or not.
Less than eight hundred!
When Zhao Yu heard these words, although there was no expression on his face, he started to curse in his heart.
Eight hundred versus forty thousand, how the hell do we still have to fight?!
The front army slowly pressed forward, and Shen Anliang and his personal soldiers began to deploy bows and crossbows for city defense, while Zhao Yu waved his hand and Lu Jianxing stepped forward.
"Send the order! All the warriors of the Supervisory Department headquarters are in full formation, waiting for the rebels to approach the city..."
Zhao Yu glanced at the rebels outside the city, and then whispered to Lu Jianxing: "Evacuate towards the west gate immediately!"
Eight hundred versus forty thousand, and this is just someone else's front army, don't run and wait to be stabbed!!
"Follow...ah?!"
Lu Jianxing was about to clasp his fists and accept the order, but found that the order given by the governor seemed to be different from what he thought.
Escape?
"Ah what, go quickly!"
Zhao Yu stood in the cold wind at the top of the city, assuming the most heroic posture and saying the most cowardly words.
"Follow the order!"
Since the superior officer said so, Lu Jianxing could only accept the order and go down to deliver the order.
"When giving orders, keep your voice down and carry someone behind your back..."
Seeing Lu Jianxing leave, Zhao Yu was still a little worried, and then whispered.
Erha, who was standing next to Zhao Yu, stared at Zhao Yu and subconsciously curled his lips, while Jiang Yuyan on the other side smiled.
…
The rebels moved slowly and when they were still three miles away from the city, they suddenly stopped.
Just when Zhao Yu was confused, the formation split, and three lines of shield soldiers emerged from the army, breaking away from the rebel formation.
At this time, a battering ram was slowly pushed out.
The three lines of shield soldiers were mixed with a line of crossbowmen and a line of fire musket soldiers.
After the five lines of troops climbed up first, more than a dozen ladders were carried out, following the first troops in the broken city.
After the formation was completed, the siege soldiers who first boarded the city did not howl and rush towards the city gate as Zhao Yu imagined.
Instead, he approached the city wall step by step and unhurriedly.
"They are all poisoned by TV series..."
Looking at the rebels approaching the city wall step by step, Zhao Yu cursed in his heart.
In the past, when he watched movies and TV shows, the people attacking the city were all screaming and rushing upwards, but in reality, it was completely different.
A thousand steps away, the rebels walked for three sticks of incense before they arrived at the moat outside Anqing City.
At this time, three-foot-wide rattan boards stretched out from under the shields in the front row, and quickly crossed the moat along the gaps under the shields.
In just a few breaths, the originally narrow moat outside Anqing Mansion was covered with rattan boards.
From the formation of the formation to the bottom of the city, there was no trace of confusion in the formation.
Chapter completed!
