Dafeng’s Night Squad

Vol 3 Chapter 54: Reinforcements

Yang Gong picked up the tea cup, took a sip of the hot tea, and slowly said:

"If you want to solve the flying beast army, it is not difficult. Let Zhang Shen cooperate with the military masters to defeat them one by one."

Ordinary soldiers and low-grade warriors can't handle the flying beast army, but the fourth-rank master who can fly against the wind is not difficult to deal with the flying beast army.

Li Mubai glanced sideways at his friend and reminded:

"There are also masters in the Flying Beast Army. Besides, with such a simple countermeasure, we can think that the rebels will not think of it? Maybe it is another trick to invite the king into the urn."

The fourth-rank master left the base camp and killed the enemy alone in the air. The danger was too great, and he would never go back if he wasn't sure.

"It would be great if we had an army of flying beasts."

Some staff sighed with emotion.

"Perhaps, we can ask Yaoman for help, and ask the feather spider of the Jinmube to go south to help out."

The speaker was unintentional and the listener intentionally, an aide on the left moved in his heart, but this idea was quickly denied:

"What is the difference between your idea and requesting the imperial court to recruit the red-tailed fierce eagle? And the northern border is 100,000 miles away from Qingzhou, how to get there."

"How about Sun Xuanji's help? He is a third-rank sorcerer. If he can be responsible for "carrying", it may not be impossible..."

"If Sun Xuanji is gone, who will contain that Ji Xuan? Alas, I didn't expect that there was also a young third-rank martial artist among the Yunzhou rebels."

"But the way to ask for help from Yaoman is indeed feasible. It's just that according to the process, you must first write to the court, and then the court will send envoys northward. Even if Yaoman happily agrees, waiting for the flying beast army of the Jinmubu to join the war will be a matter after the beginning of spring. Up."

"Far can't quench near thirst."

"The princes were too short-sighted. The reason for dismissing the Flying Beast Army was because of the peaceful and prosperous times, and there was no use of weapons. But after the battle of Jingshan City, the princes should be vigilant."

"If Duke Wei was still there, he would have already started cultivating the Flying Beast Army."

"It would be great if we had an army of flying beasts."

Li Mubai knocked on the desktop, interrupting this helpless topic, and said in a deep voice:

"The Tang Tomb has been broken. Under the leadership of Sun Xuanji, the defending army has turned into a field battle with the rebels, facing north and south. Wanjun is besieged, and the rebels intend to use the detective power of the flying beast army to fight against the spot. , There will be no change in the short term.

"But if you ignore it for a long time, Wanxian will run out of ammunition and food sooner or later."

He paused, looked around the frowning staff, and said:

"If you can't find a way to solve Wan County's plight, then you must find a way to save Songshan County."

The staff around him was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted, turning his head to look at Yang Gong:

"My boss, if I remember correctly, so far, Songshan County has neither received a good news nor passed a letter asking for help."

Yang Gong nodded:

"Compared with Tanglin and Wan County, Songshan County is the second most important. Yunzhou rebels are definitely the first two places to attack."

Li Mubai said "um":

"Songshan County occupies the terrain, with sufficient food and grass, and Zhujun and Erlang sitting in town. I think they can hold it. However, according to the current situation, the Tang Tomb is broken and Wan County is besieged.

"The next step for the Yunzhou rebels is Songshan County."

As he was talking, an official hurried in, holding a secret letter in his hand, and said loudly:

"Master Chief, there is an urgent report from Songshan County."

Yang Gong said hurriedly, "Present it."

The official handed the secret letter.

Yang Gong unfolded a look, and his face instantly sank.

When Li Mubai and others saw this, their hearts were shocked: "What do you say in the letter?"

Yang Gong said word by word:

"The Flying Beast Army surprises Songshan County, and Erlang asks for help."

After a pause, his face suddenly became hard to look:

"This is a letter from three days ago."

From Songshan County to Qingzhou City, it would take three days to rush forward.

..........

Songshan County.

The sun was high, but it never brought the slightest heat. Xu Erlang stood at the head of the city and grabbed a handful of gravel mixed with the blood of the defenders and gunpowder smoke.

He looked around without expression, the city was full of bullet craters, broken and mottled, and almost nothing was intact.

The soldiers wrapped in linen and muslin were scattered in twos and threes, and no one intact could be seen.

Among the defenders of Songshan County, the one who remained in the city was the least injured.

The original 2,000 defenders of Songshan County now have only 500 left, and the others died in the cruel offensive and defensive battles.

Three days have passed since the flying beast army's surprise attack.

The flying beast army’s attack method is very simple, that is, throwing artillery shells and fire oil cans at the head of the city. How the defenders deal with the siege enemy, the flying beast army will deal with the defenders.

Simple to simple, but very deadly.

The defenders directly sacrificed nearly a thousand people on the first day. The city’s head was bombarded with a thousand holes, and the bricks and stones were burnt all over with scorch marks.

At dusk, the enemy troops retreated.

After such a desperate day, the morale of the defenders collapsed, thinking that tomorrow the city would be broken, and the hearts of the people floated.

Xu Erlang sent people to collect bronze mirrors from door to door in the city overnight, and summoned craftsmen to improve the bed crossbows and transformed them into a bed crossbow that fired into the air.

On the second day, the Flying Beast Army attacked again, and the bronze mirrors filled with the city's head refracted the sunlight, almost blinding the eyes of the cavalry and Flying Beasts.

The defending army took the opportunity to launch a crossbow and shot down twelve flying beasts and repelled the flying beast army. The results were gratifying, and the morale of the defending army was greatly boosted.

But Xu Erlang knew that this trick could only hit the opponent by surprise. After dusk, the bronze mirror could no longer function.

Therefore, after the enemy had withdrawn, he asked the defenders to insult Zhuo Haoran at the head of the city, specifically to insult the female family members of the other family, and call for an hour, and Zhuo Haoran led his troops to attack the city.

Zhuo Haoran returned with a feather, and after dusk, because of the heavy losses of the enemy's infantry, the flying beast army hurriedly bombed and withdrew his troops.

After nightfall, Xu Erlang forcibly recruited militiamen, gathered more than a thousand people, ordered Zhujun and Miao Youfang to lead the camp, only to escape back more than 300 people.

So far, the elites of both sides have almost been lost.

"I have sent someone to ask for help from Qingzhou City. Then, it will depend on whose reinforcement arrives first."

Xu Erlang whispered.

Miao Youfang beside him hadn't smiled for three days. He carried a bow and made a low "um". He immediately felt wrong again and frowned:

"Although Zhuo Haoran's army is completely damaged and there are only a few hundred people left, but the flying beast army is intact. If we attack every night, we still can only be beaten. I am afraid that we will not be able to support the arrival of reinforcements... .."

He suddenly opened his eyes, seeming to understand something.

Xu Erlang smiled and said: "If our reinforcements come first, even if Zhuo Haoran takes Songshan County, he will be forced to evacuate due to lack of manpower. Songshan County is still ours."

But the defenders here and the people in the city became abandoned...Miao Youfang's lips moved, "At that point, I will take you out first."

Xu Erlang said softly:

"That's shameful, my eldest brother guards Yuyang Pass alone. But I can only run away with my tail clipped."

Miao Youfang furrowed his brows, and said to his heart that this can't be done by you. If you don't leave then, I will knock you out.

Then Xu Erlang smiled bitterly:

"I just sigh with emotion. I won't break the axis. Victory or defeat is a common matter of the military. The Emperor Gaozu had an incident that year, and there were times when he suffered repeated defeats.

"If you really break the axis, you won't have the present Dafeng. A big man can bend and stretch.

"But I can also understand the heroes in the history books who would rather die than retreat, and the soldiers who followed me hard have stayed here, so I have a face to live."

As he was talking, a large swarm of birds appeared in the distant sky.

The birds approached quickly, followed by Shen Xiong's roar, noisy and loud.

The expressions of Miao Youfang and Xu Erlang changed drastically. The wounded who were sitting at the head of the city to rest also noticed the movement of the sky and got up in horror.

One by one, they looked at the black and overwhelming group of flying beasts, their eyes desperate and their faces pale.

"Here again, here again..."

"There are so many, how do we keep it?"

Despair spread among the defenders.

"Master Xu, another group of flying beasts are here. Songshan County can't hold it anymore. Let's withdraw."

A centurion rushed in panic.

When he said these words, he stared at Xu Erlang, UU reading www. The emotions in uukanshu.com's eyes are complex, with pleading, despair, and hope for survival.

Xu Erlang's eyes turned black for a while, and his headache was splitting.

Yes, in terms of reinforcements, what kind of units can move faster than the Flying Beast Army?

Unfortunately, he still wants to compare the speed with Yunzhou Army, how can it be compared?

"boom!"

Xu Erlang punched the wall fiercely, gritted his teeth and said:

"If you don't get rid of the Flying Beast Army, Qingzhou will not be able to defend it."

He realized that these thunderous flying beasts were one of the key factors affecting the victory or defeat of the Qingzhou Campaign.

Miao Youfang took off the bow on his back, bent the bow and set the arrow to pull the strings, and he finished in one go, aiming at the flying beast army, and said:

"Take Master Xu to go first, I will shoot a few beasts first, and make enough money to talk about it."

At exactly this time, the Flying Beast Army had entered his range.

Miao Youfang's pupils contracted, his eyesight enlarged to the extreme, and he aimed at the flying beast headed by him.

He was stunned for a moment, because this group of flying beast army was different from the flying beast army that had attacked before.

The flying beast of the Yunzhou rebels is a giant red bird, covered with clusters of gorgeous fire feathers.

And the monsters that this group of flying beasts sat down were covered with black scales, with long necks and slender bodies, resembling lizards. They were not flapping wings, but membrane wings.

In addition, the knights riding the flying beasts are not soldiers in armor, but a group of people in strange clothes, even in animal skins.

On the back of the flying beast headed, sat a dark-skinned, naturally curly hair, wearing blue-and-blue clothing, waving his arms towards the people in the city with a smile on his face, as if enthusiastically saying hello.

Miao Youfang gave a "Huh" and let go of the bowstring.

"what's happenin."

Xu Erlang's eyesight is not as good as that of Takeo, and when he sees this, he frowns and asks.

Miao You replied with confusion:

"This group of people is a little weird."
