Chapter 1487: Reinforcements (1)
Yang Gong picked up the teacup, took a sip of the hot tea, and slowly said, ”
it’s not difficult to deal with the flying beast Army. Let Zhang Shen work with the experts in the Army and break them down one by one.
Ordinary soldiers and low-ranked martial artists could not do anything to the flying beast Army, but it was not difficult for a rank four expert who could ride the wind to deal with the flying beast Army.
Li Mubai glanced at his good friend as he reminded,
“There are also experts in the flying beast Army. Moreover, if we could think of such a simple solution, would the rebel army not think of it? Maybe it’s another trick to invite the Emperor into the pot.”
It was too dangerous for a rank-4 martial artist to leave the base camp and kill the enemy in the air alone. He might not be able to return.
“If only we had a flying beast Army.”
An aide sighed.
“Maybe we can ask the Barbarian monsters for help. We can ask the gold wood tribe’s winged spider to come to the South and help us.”
One of the advisors on the left had a thought, but this thought was quickly rejected.
“Your idea is no different from asking the Imperial court to conscript the red-tailed ardent Eagle. Furthermore, the North is 100000 li away from Qingzhou. How can we make it here?”
how about we ask sun Xuanji for help? he’s a third-grade Warlock. If he can be in charge of ‘transporting’ the goods, it might not be impossible.
“If sun Xuanji leaves, who will hold back Ji Xuan? Sigh, I didn’t think that there would be a young rank 3 martial artist in the Yunzhou rebel army.”
however, asking for help from the demon barbarians is indeed feasible. However, according to the procedure, we have to first submit a letter to the Imperial court, and then the Imperial court will send an envoy to the North. Even if the demon barbarians readily agree, it will be after spring when the metal wood tribe’s flying beast Army comes to the South to join the battle.
“Distant water can’t quench present thirst.”
“You’re too short-sighted. The flying beast Army was dismissed back then because it was peaceful and prosperous, and there was no use for it. However, after the battle of Jingshan city, you should have been more vigilant.”
“If Lord Wei was still here, he would have started to train a flying beast Army.”
“If only we had a flying beast Army.”
Li Mubai knocked on the table and interrupted this helpless topic. He said in a deep voice,
“The eastern tomb has fallen. Under the leadership of sun Xuanji, the defending Army has turned the battle against the rebel army into a field battle. Wan County was surrounded, and the rebel army planned to use the scouting ability of the flying beast Army to besiege and attack reinforcements. This was a war of attrition, and there would not be any changes in the short term.
“But if we ignore them for a long time, Wan County will run out of food and ammunition sooner or later.”
He paused for a moment and looked around at the frowning aides.
“If we can’t think of a way to solve Wan County’s predicament, we have to think of a way to protect Songshan.”
The advisor beside him was stunned at first, then he reacted and looked at yang Gong, ”
“Boss, if I remember correctly, there hasn’t been any good news or requests for help from Songshan.”
Yang Gong nodded, ”
“Compared to Dongling and Wan County, Songshan County is less important. The rebel army of Yunzhou will definitely attack the first two places.”
Li Mubai mumbled,
“Songshan County has enough grain and with Zhu Jun and Erlang there, it should be able to hold. However, based on the current situation, the eastern tomb had been taken and Wan County was surrounded.
“The Yunzhou rebel Army’s next move will be Songshan.”
Just as they were talking, an official hurriedly came in with a secret letter in his hand and said loudly, ”
“Chief administrator, there’s an urgent report from Songshan.”
“Bring it up,” yang Gong hurriedly said.
The clerk handed over the secret letter.
Yang Gong’s face darkened as he read it.
When li Mubai and the rest saw this, their hearts trembled.”What did the letter say?”
Yang Gong said word by word,
“Flying beast Army ambushed Songshan County, Erlang requests for help.”
After a pause, his face suddenly turned ugly.
“This is a letter from three days ago,”
It would take three days to travel from Songshan County to Qingzhou City.
……….
Songshan County.
The sun was high up in the sky, but it did not bring any heat. Xu Erlang stood on the city wall and grabbed a handful of gravel mixed with the blood and smoke of the guards.
He looked around expressionlessly. The top of the city wall was full of bullet holes, and it was broken and mottled. Almost no place was intact.
The soldiers wrapped in sackcloth and fine cloth were scattered in twos and threes, and not a single person was intact.
The ones left on the city wall were the ones with the least injuries.
Songshan County’s original 2000 defenders were only left with 500. The rest had died in the brutal battle.
Three days had passed since the flying beast Army’s surprise attack.
The flying beast Army’s method of attack was very simple. They would throw cannonballs and kerosene cans at the top of the city wall. The flying beast Army would deal with the defenders in the same way as the defenders dealt with the enemy.
Simple as it was, it was deadly.
On the first day, nearly a thousand people were sacrificed. The city wall was riddled with holes and the bricks were burnt.
At dusk, the enemy retreated.
