The king of Huoluo ordered the archers and armor to come forward.
Three thousand armour men held shields to protect the front, and three thousand archers lined up behind.
They crossed in front of the gate.
Seeing that the enemy is within the range of the bow and arrow, Chang Yi immediately orders the archer to shoot the arrow.
The arrows rained down and were all blocked by shields.
After wasting tens of thousands of arrows, Chang Yi finally ordered to stop archery. Their arrows are limited. There will be a long and protracted war in the future. We must consider the future and use weapons sparingly.
But as soon as they stopped shooting, the archers in Xisha suddenly raised their bows and arrows and put them above the wall.
Fu Qi roared, "hide!"
The soldiers of South Chu quickly bent down and squatted behind the guardrail.
As Chang intended to raise the height of the wall guardrail in advance, the arrows shot by Xisha people hit the guardrail and fell down.
The soldiers of Southern Chu hid behind the guardrail and listened to the sound of arrows hitting the guardrail.
It was not until this wave of shooting passed that everyone dared to move.
Fu Qi lay on the guardrail and looked out through the palm sized hole in the guardrail. First, he looked at the moat below the city wall. Dozens of bodies were floating on the river, and the river was dyed light red.
He looked into the distance and saw that the enemy's archers and armor were still in place. As soon as they showed up, the enemy would shoot arrows.
Fu Qi took back his sight and ordered the soldiers to be divided into two batches and on duty in turn, which could save physical strength.
The night gradually faded, and the sky turned white, indicating that the dawn was approaching quietly.
Chang Yi bent over, squatted beside Fu Qi and asked in a low voice, "have you written to the son of heaven?"
Fu Qi replied two words.
"Yes."
As a supervisor of the army, it was his important duty to report the battle situation on the front line to the emperor.
Chang Yi asked carefully, "what did you write in your letter?"
"Naturally, I don't dare to bully you."
Chang Yi hurriedly said, "I didn't mean to let you bully the king. I just wanted to ask, didn't you write anything about me in the letter? You see, Xu Ji is the one who decided to go to Heifeng Valley to ambush King Huoluo. Xu Ji is also the one who fled and lost 300000 people. All this is his fault and has nothing to do with me. "
As long as a military general has military merit, he will be promoted very quickly, but similarly, if he makes a mistake, he will be demoted surprisingly quickly.
When the former Emperor was still in power, a general lost the war in southern Chu due to wrong decision-making. As a result, the powerful general who was once favored by the emperor was directly pushed to the end and demoted to the north to plant sweet potatoes.
This is true of a second-class general, not to mention that he is only a third-class Jiedu envoy.
Chang Yi was nervous. He couldn't eat well and sleep well these days. He lost a lot of weight and his spirit became very poor. He was afraid that the emperor would send him back to his hometown to farm.
Fu Qi said faintly, "whether this matter has anything to do with you depends on the attitude of the emperor. I am only responsible for reporting the war situation truthfully."
Chang Yi patted his forehead and said angrily, "if I knew this, I wouldn't agree with Xu Ji's plan!"
"It's too late to say that now. Let's find a way to get through this difficulty."
Speaking of this, Chang Yi became more and more worried: "there are 400000 enemy troops, all of them strong and capable, and they have just won the war. It is the time when the momentum is the most fierce. We have only 200000 people and are far from the enemy's opponent. How can we fight this war? "
Fu Qi said, "I have written down our situation here in my letter. The emperor should send troops to reinforce us. Now we can only try our best to delay until the reinforcements arrive."
Chang Yi calculated: "counting the time of sending letters and the time of dispatching troops, it will take at least 20 days until the reinforcements come to Liangshan pass. Can we last until then?"
"If you can't hold it, you can only hold it. We can't give up Liangshan pass and run away?" When Fu Qi said this, he took a special look at Chang Yi.
Chang Yi hurriedly expressed his determination: "we must not give up Liangshan pass!"
In fact, he did want to leave Liangshan pass directly with 200000 people, so that he can preserve his strength to the greatest extent for counterattack in the future.
But he can only think about it in his heart and dare not say it for the time being. After all, things are not so bad that he has to abandon the city and escape.
Fu Qi was thinking about Jiang Shuan's instructions before he left.
They sat on the ground with their backs against the guardrail, each thinking.
Just then, a deputy general hurried up the stairs. When he saw everyone squatting, he quickly squatted down and said, "Sir, there is a royal guards outside!"
Fu Qi and Chang Yi were surprised.
Fu Qi didn't know what he thought, so he first said, "where is the royal guards? Be specific. "
"Two thousand royal guards came. The man headed by him was Gu Fei. He said he came to supervise the army at the order of the son of heaven. This is his token." The deputy general handed over a heavy metal token.
Fu Qi took it over, looked at it, and handed it to Chang Yi.
Chang Yi said, "the token looks real. Where are they?"
The deputy general replied, "they are still outside the south gate. They don't dare to let people in without adults' orders."
Chang Yi returned the token: "let them in."
"Here!"
The deputy general took the token with both hands, turned and ran down the wall.
When Fu Qi heard Gu Fei's name, he thought it was him. At this time, only Gu Fei was willing to come to the royal guards of Liangshan pass!
After a while, Gu Fei strode up the city wall. He was wearing a crimson fish scale suit and a black cloak. He pressed one hand on the handle of the embroidered spring knife. The wind on the city wall was so strong that the black cloak rolled wantonly.
Fu Qi reminded: "squat down quickly and be careful of the enemy's arrows!"
As soon as he had finished speaking, an arrow flew up the wall and shot straight at Gu Fei's front door!
Gu Fei didn't even blink. He directly took out the Xiuchun knife, and the blade drew a sharp arc in the air.
The arrow hit the blade with a crash.
Then the arrow was thrown out and fell to the ground.
All the people on the wall were stunned by his neat skill.
Gu Fei put the knife back into the scabbard, walked to Fu Qihe and Chang Yi, squatted down and saluted with a fist.
"Two adults, I came to help fight at the order of the son of heaven. This is the son's personal letter."
He took a letter from his sleeve and handed it over.
Fu Qi took the letter, read it roughly, and handed it to Chang Yi. Chang Yi read it more carefully. After confirming that the letter was correct, he carefully folded it and returned it to Gu Fei.
Gu Fei received the letter and asked, "how is the war going now?"
