Chapter 556 Don’t stop me no matter what
"This... looks like there are only two or three thousand people."
Zhang Darong looked at it for a long time and breathed a sigh of relief.
There are more than 6,000 people in this elite Sirius group. Excluding the injured, there are at least more than 5,000 people.
Zhang Darong had never experienced a war. In addition, the distance between the two sides was too far and his vision was blocked, so he mistakenly judged that there were two or three thousand people.
Lin Xiaofan did not refute. After all, this army had not experienced war and was somewhat afraid of the battlefield. Reporting less to the enemy would alleviate some of the psychological pressure.
"They're not going to call, are they?"
Xun Qie looked panicked and turned a little pale. He knew that the elites of the Sirius Kingdom were coming today, and he was afraid that something would go wrong, so he stayed here early.
"Looking at the way they look, they should be setting up camp to rest."
Zhang Darong stroked his beard and spoke out Lin Xiaofan's previous speculation.
Even though he doesn't understand anything, he still has to pretend.
"How can General Zhang see him?"
Xun Qi looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see any clues, so he simply asked.
"You see, they came all the way in a hurry. If they attack the city immediately, they will not be able to exert their normal combat power, which will be detrimental to them. If I were their commander, I would definitely rest first."
Zhang Darong opened his mouth to analyze, and the next moment, he saw a group of troops coming from the other side, heading this way.
You won't call me, will you?
Zhang Darong's mouth twitched, his face a little confused.
Didn’t Lin Xiaofan say that we won’t attack the city until tomorrow? How is this different from what you said?
However, at the moment of life and death, he couldn't care so much, and hurriedly waved to the soldier next to him:
"Quick, go call someone, call everyone in the military camp, prepare to fight!"
After the words fell, Lin Xiaofan stopped at the side:
"Wait a minute, there's no need to call people. The other party only has a small group of people coming. It doesn't look like they're fighting, they just want to make a noise."
After Zhang Darong heard this, he calmed down. Looking carefully, the other party did indeed move only part of the troops.
"It's true that they are not attacking the city. These people are quite leisurely."
Xiao Tiansheng snorted coldly.
It is normal to make a noise before attacking a city. It can dampen the enemy's morale. If you are lucky, the enemy general will be very angry. Maybe they can even attract a group of people to fight head-on.
After a while, a group of Sirius elites arrived at the foot of Guangling City. Their distance was well controlled, just beyond the reach of bows and arrows.
The leader was wearing a general's robe. He looks like he is only in his twenties. He was actually a young general.
"I am Zhang Feng from the Sirius Kingdom. People in Guangling City, listen, don't be shy and dare to come out and fight me!"
Zhang Feng shouted loudly, but naturally no one responded to him.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Feng cursed more and more fiercely:
"Isn't there even a single person in the huge Guangling City who dares to challenge? Or are you, the people of the Tang Dynasty, all cowards..."
Zhang Feng seemed to be addicted to scolding. He cursed one after another for a quarter of an hour.
Lin Xiaofan was getting tired of hearing this, but the people below didn't even curse him harshly. The key is, no one paid any attention to him.
Xun Qie's face gradually turned ugly. He looked at Xiao Tiansheng aside, bowed and saluted:
"General Xiao, you must not go up and go out of the city to fight."
It seems that among this group of people, the most capable one is Xiao Tiansheng. If Xiao Tiansheng had an accident and was left outside, then the city would really be unable to contain him.
Xiao Tiansheng kept his expression unchanged, nodded slightly and said:
"I know."
Zhang Darong's expression on the side became more and more ugly, and his grip on the weapon became tighter and tighter. How unreasonable, how dare you run to Guangling City and scream. He has been in charge of many aspects of the city guard, but he has never been wronged like this! If he hadn't been incompetent in martial arts, he would have gone down to meet Zhang Feng for a while.
However, as a city guard, he had to do something to stabilize the morale of the army.
He took a deep breath and saluted Xiao Tiansheng:
"General Xiao, this Zhang Feng has gone too far. He went to the city and screamed. Is this intolerable? Let me go down and meet him!"
With that said, Zhang Darong tidied his armor and was about to go down.
Feeling the moved gazes of the people around him, Zhang Darong's lips curved into a smile.
The decisive battle is imminent, and Xiao Tiansheng will not let himself do anything wrong if he doesn't know how to use martial arts. When the time comes and they try to persuade me, I will pretend to be indignant and try to gain some goodwill.
One step... two steps... He was getting closer and closer to the stairs leading down to the city wall, but still no one stopped him.
What's going on? Something's wrong!
He looked back and saw everyone looking at him solemnly.
"General, go ahead and slay the enemy general with majesty!"
A soldier spoke, his face full of respect.
Zhang Feng kept scolding underneath. If it weren't for his lack of strength, he would have wanted to go down and kill the man.
Now that the general takes action personally, he will definitely be able to kill this fly underneath.
Most of the other soldiers had the same idea. Zhang Darong has been a general for so many years and took the initiative to ask for a battle. He must be capable.
Seeing this, Zhang Darong was completely dumbfounded. No, he just wanted to show off, why didn't anyone stop him?
Don't you look at the appearance of this general? It's hard to beat you. Do you think he can beat the young general below?
But after all the words have been said, you can’t help but go, right?
He straightened his clothes again and looked at Xiao Tiansheng and Lin Xiaofan for help, but the former was staring at the Sirius elite intently, seemingly studying the next tactics. The latter turned to look at him with no expression on his face.
"Well, my knife is a bit dull. Go get me a good one first."
Zhang Darong pulled out the knife, looked at it, and then threw it to the men next to him.
Lin Xiaofan was already laughing crazy in his heart at this time. He wanted to see how Zhang Darong would deal with it.
"General Zhang, this knife was lent to me by the Princess of Daqian. It was made by the best blacksmith in Daqian and was made in ninety-nine and eighty-one days. It cuts iron like clay. Take it and you will definitely kill the enemy general. Killed by a horse!"
Duanmu Ke'er's face was solemn as he handed over the knife he borrowed from Fengsheng.
Zhang Darong looked at the knife, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said through gritted teeth:
"This... heroine, I appreciate your kindness. But I'd better use Datang's sword. I'm not used to other swords."
Hearing this, Duanmu Keer nodded solemnly, took back the knife, then turned his head and looked outside the city.
As for the reason, naturally he couldn't hold back his laughter.
Xiao Tiansheng glanced at several people with a speechless face, and then said:
"General Zhang, forget it, don't fall for the enemy's conspiracy. And the battlefield is not a child's play. If you accidentally get caught outside, your morale will be greatly reduced, and you won't be able to fight at that time."
As he spoke, one of Xiao Tiansheng's personal guards walked over quickly, holding a five-stone bow in his hand.
The range of this thing is very far, which is definitely not comparable to that of a repeating crossbow. Of course, the disadvantage is also huge, that is, it takes a lot of energy. Looking at the generals of the Tang Dynasty, there were no more than twenty people who could draw a bow and shoot arrows. Even a fierce general like Xiao Tiansheng can only shoot two arrows at most.
