Chapter 37: Replay

Xiao Yan looked at the city and breathed a sigh of relief.

The Jin army did not launch a strong attack from the beginning, but only sent a small force to carry out continuous harassment and tentative attacks on the troops defending the city under the cover of the catapult. Seeing this, Xiao Yan simply ordered that there were only 500 people left in the city. The rest of the people went down to find a place nearby to avoid the damage of the catapult, and the 500 people only symbolically shot a burst of arrows to attack the enemy after the Golden Man came to the city.

But Xiao Yan knew that this situation would not last for a long time. The golden people's tentative attack was to explore the situation in the city, but now this kind of performance in the city, the bright people knew at a glance that the city knew their intentions, so soon the Jin people would launch a big attack to explore the truth. So after seeing the full retreat of the Golden Man, Xiao Yan informed everyone to go to the city after the next wave of Jinren's catapults to prepare to fight with the Jinren.

From noon to dusk, the golden man launched waves of offensives like a sea tide. Although the golden man did not attack the top of the city, the damage of the catapling machine was too great. Several times, Xiao Yan was almost hit by the catapling machine. The watermelon-sized stone was hit dead and injured, looking at them one by one. Xiao Yan can't do anything about the person who was hit and fell down.

This is facing Wanyan Zongbi (Jin Yushu), known as the first warrior of the Kingdom of Jin, and this is a tentative attack, and the more tragic battle is yet to come. Seeing the golden soldiers under the city pushing ladder cars slowly approaching under the cover of the shield hand, Xiao Yan looked at the sky and it should be the last time. Xiao Yan signaled everyone to stop archery and put the enemy over. The golden men under the city were originally afraid of the arrows in the city, but they couldn't help speeding up when they were still within range. Fifty steps, thirty steps, ten steps. Xiao Yan counted silently that the golden man's ladder had stood on the wall, and Xiao Yan waved his hand decisively.

A bucket of tung oil was poured on the ladder, and a bundle of dry firewood was thrown under the city. At this time, the Jin people also understood Xiao Yan's intention. Even the command platform of the Jin army sounded the signal of withdrawing troops when he saw this situation, but in the blink of an eye, torches were thrown out of the city one by one and fell on the ladder and on the firewood. In an instant, a fire more than ten feet high burned under Jiankang City. One by one, they howled and ran out with fire all over their bodies, and plunged into the moat that had not been filled. Those who have climbed up can only watch the fire slowly burn the ladder and scream and fall into the fire.

Zong Bi, standing on the command platform, originally thought that today's last attack would launch a full-scale attack on Jiankang City tomorrow. Unexpectedly, this time, he could only watch these soldiers buried in the sea of fire.

"Who is commanding in the city? The experience is so old-fashioned that the whole afternoon's attack not only failed to figure out the situation in the city, but also tortured many people for nothing, 3,000 people." Thinking of this, Zong Bi's face turned green.

Looking at the golden soldiers who slowly withdrew from afar, Xiao Yan sat on the top of the city and leaned against the wall. Looking at the people who were cleaning up the scene in front of him, they were all gray and exhausted. Xiao Yan called a man to order him to find Lu Chen quickly and tell him that there was still 50,000 troops left, and there was no movement until now. It is to immediately transfer 3,000 people and gather all the gongs and drums in the city. It needs to be urgent. Then lean against the wall and take a nap.

In my sleep, I felt that someone was waking up by calling myself Xiao Yan. It turned out that Lu Chen and Yang Zaixing came over and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Master Xiaozhai, the people have arranged and are on standby under the city." Lu Chen replied.

Xiao Yan feels a little pain all over his body. After all, this is the first time that Xiao Yan has experienced such a war in his past life. In addition to physical fatigue, he also has mental fatigue. Hearing Lu Chen nod his head and said, "How's it going over with Lord Lu?"

Lu Chen replied, "There is no movement for the time being, but I have arranged people to patrol the city day and night. There will be no mistake."

"Brother Yang, why did you come here?" Xiao Yan turned his head to Yang Zaixing and asked.

Yang Zaixing checked Xiao Yan's body and saw that he was fine. He knew that Xiao Yan was tired. He ordered someone to bring some water and handed it over and said, "It's been an afternoon. I heard the shocking shout here, but Brother Xiao just asked me to take someone to train well, so he couldn't come over. After training, he didn't worry about coming and have a look. ."

Xiao Yan knew that Yang Zaixing was worried about himself and couldn't help nodding and asking, "Are those two guys restless?"

Yang Zaixing knew that he was asking Fat Fish and Fat Dragon, "When he came, he asked me to fight with his brother." After a pause, he said, "These two guys will be able to stand alone in time, and now they have to hone their temper.

Xiao Yan has been standing at the head of the city, looking at the lights in the golden camp in the distance and the slowly rising cooking smoke..." General, it's time to eat. A guard who was arranged to be around Xiao Yan, about the same age as Xiao Yan shouted.

"Gao Zhan, do you think the golden man eats?" Xiao Yan turned around and asked inexplicably. Gao Zhan was found when recruiting soldiers in the city. At that time, because he was young, the recruiter only wanted to let him go to the civilian army or mercenaries. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan was at the scene at that time. He pointed to Xiao Yan and said how could he enter at such a young age. Xiao Yan saw that Gao Zhan was about the same age as himself, and he was smart and was about to come and stay by his side.

After listening to this sentence, Gao Zhan replied with a confused face, "This should also be eaten."

"Since the Golden Dog doesn't let us have a stable meal, we can't be too polite." Xiao Yan gritted his teeth at the barracks in the distance and said, "Gao Zhan, you should immediately bring the 3,000 people arranged by Lord Lu in the afternoon, bring all the gongs and drums brought here. Let's play a song for the golden dog to cheer up."

When everyone came to the city, Xiao Yan said what he thought. After listening to it, the 3,000 people dispersed happily. Xiao Yan played a drum in front of him and Gao Zhan held a drum hammer. Xiao Yan knocked with a wave of his hand, and immediately followed the sound of gongs and drums in the distance, like the cheering gongs and drums of the army's attack. It was time for the Jin army in the distance to have dinner. As soon as they heard the enemy attack, they immediately sounded the horn and gathered the team. When I went out of the camp, I didn't even see anyone, and I was a false alarm. Then let's break up and go back to eat, but in the gathering just now, everyone's meal has already been in a mess, so let's start cooking again.

Who knows that as soon as Xiao Yan saw the cooking smoke floating on a column of incense in the Jinying, he beat the gongs and drums one after another. Jin Jun complained incessantly. However, Wanyan Zongbi is a thoughtful general, not the enemy's trick. When you get used to the real attack, he ordered to strengthen the vigilance and the personnel to allocate meals. After two more times, the dinner was finally finished. And Xiao Yan's side was surprisingly quiet, and there was no movement until they finished eating.

Dong Dong Dong, Whoo Woo. The Jin Bing, who had just laid down, heard the horn of the army gathering again, so they got up and gathered one after another. Unexpectedly, they announced their dissolution as soon as the gathering was completed. Everyone had not eaten well, so they were full of opinions, and no one could sleep well. It's not over yet. As soon as I lay down and came again, I tossed around several times in a row until dawn. But at this time, it was time to get up, and there was nothing I could do. Looking at the sleepy golden soldiers, Zong Bi's heart was full of fire. I had the intention to fight directly at night last night, and I was afraid of being ambushed. In this situation, how can I attack the city?

That's not to mention it. When Zong Bi came out of the camp gate, the moat that was finally filled was dug up overnight and widened. The soil dug out seemed to have been transported back to the city. There was nothing at the scene. I don't know whether he didn't sleep well last night or was angry. Zong Bi actually felt a little dizzy and bitter in his mouth.

In the morning. Xiao Yan stood on the tower and observed the situation under the city. This time, Xiao Yan waited for his blood-red eyes to say secretly. Not only did Zong Bi not sleep well last night, but Xiao Yan also slept all night.

The Jin army dispatched at least 50,000 people this time, each of which was an iron horse of the Jin army. The front army was a shield hand, and a shield more than three feet high formed a shield wall in front of the front of the battle. Behind it was a heavy infantry guarding catapult in the array, and then there were about 100 people in each team of light infantry carrying equipment to attack the city.

Last night, Xiao Yan commanded a group of civilians to harass the Jin soldiers overnight and took the opportunity to dig up the gate moat filled by the Jin army. Today, there are still many civilians in the barracks with sandbags and boards that seem to be ready to fill the river.

Looking at the group of golden soldiers with big waists outside the city, their armor was bright, and there was a cold light shining on the tip of the infantry's gun, standing there motionless, waiting for the sound of the offensive horn. Xiao Yan's mind moved, "If you don't attack, I will urge you." He waved to let Gao Zhan pass down and blow all the horns.

When Xiao Yan's horn sounded, there was indeed a small ** in the Jin army camp. These numbers were originally captured, so the sound blown out was the same. When the Jin soldiers in the camp knew that the voice was coming, Xiao Yan was standing on the head of the city with the defenders and laughed. Zong Bi was completely speechless at this time. What kind of person is his opponent? Fighting is like a child playing a house and do whatever he wants. There is no sign of doing anything. Zong Bi was more alert and also a little curious about Xiao Yan.

There's nothing we can do. The enemy is urging himself to attack. If we don't attack, where will the face go?" The horn sounded, and this was the prelude to the attack.

Xiao Yan and everyone laughed again after hearing the golden man's horn. Although the horn did not seem to have any impact on both sides, in fact, it was a trade-off for the morale of both sides. After laughing, Xiao Yan ordered the archer to hide behind the wall, and the shield hand squatted on the edge of the archer to protect himself at any time, watching the golden man advance step by step.

The shouts of the east city of Jiankang City have been going on all morning. Xiao Yan cut to death a golden soldier who had just emerged from the wall and shouted, "Gao Zhan, Gao Zhan, are you ready?" Gao Zhan also ran over with blood and said breathlessly, "I'm ready, just waiting for the general to give orders." Xiao Yan said hello, "Execute it quickly."

In the fierce battle in the morning, the Jin people have filled the moat in front of the door and on the edge of about 100 steps. A group of golden soldiers are carrying ladders and rushing to the city. There will not be a batch of golden soldiers at the top of the city. The situation has favored the Jin people, standing under the city to supervise Wanyanzong. Biwan Yanchang and Zhao Yuan finally showed a trace of joy when they saw that their men and horses gradually attacked the city wall, and ordered the left and right cavalry to press forward. Once the city was broken, they immediately rushed in and occupied the gate to facilitate the army to enter Kangcheng.

"No, Marshal, you see." Zhao Yuan shouted anxiously.

Zong Bi has actually been staring at the front. He saw that the Song army on the city completely ignored the golden soldiers who had attacked the wall and fell down the city under the cover of a small group of people.

His heart suddenly jumped, and Zong Bi hurriedly said, "Gold, fire gold."

Zhao Yuan also reacted on the side and looked at the front and muttered, "The old trick is repeated, the old trick is repeated..."
