Chapter 261 Lin'an Battle (2)
Not only did Ma Jin hear the dull and depressing sound of the horn, but also the others on the city. This is the first time Ma Jin has heard this sound that sounds like hell, and it seems that it can make people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts and indescribable discomfort.
Soon, the dull horn sound gradually subsided. But before they could take a breath, countless horn sounds sounded one after another like thunder on the ground. For a moment, the white clouds in the sky were shaken away, the earth was trembling slightly, and even the moat under the city became boiling. There were countless fish jumping out of the water and struggling.
The defenders of Song State on the top of the city all looked pale and covered their ears tightly. The weapons were randomly discarded on the ground, and their bodies were like sieves, full of fear.
Looking at the Great Zhou army, it was still as stable as Mount Tai, with a cold face, not moved by Xuan Ting's horn at all. It just stood straight on the top of the city and looked ahead. No matter how these Great Zhou soldiers rushed out of the fire in their blood, they were naturally not afraid of Xuan Ting's little tricks, but there was a hint of contempt in their eyes.
Ma Jin naturally didn't care. Although he was shocked by the loud horns, his ears were slightly shivered, but it did not affect his interest at all. Although the Xuanting people's first-hand tricks were good, they were a little worse than those of the Liao people. Yelu Qi used to be very good at this trick. He started to scream and scream in order to shock the enemy's courage and achieve the goal of suppressing the enemy's momentum.
Just as Ma Jin was observing Xuan Ting's army with great interest, Xu Changan walked to him with a trembling face, his lips tremblingly, and said tremblingly:
"Master...Master, what does Xuanting people mean? They... are they going to attack the city?"
Ma Jin shook his head, held his hands on the battlements, turned his head and looked at the Song Dynasty defenders who had already been in a mess, and then looked at Xu Chang'an and said:
"If the Xuanting people wanted to attack the city, they would have come out to line up long ago, but now there is no movement. Obviously, they have no intention of siege. And have you noticed that they are all cavalrymen, and will the commander take precious cavalry to attack the city?"
"It seems that this is just Xuan Ting's vanguard. Xuan Ting's main army should be still behind. They came out like this as soon as they came up, but they just wanted to win the lead, suppress our momentum, and explore our bottom."
When Ma Jin said this, he paused and his voice became louder:
"However, if they see such chaos in the city, I'm afraid that the main force of the Xuanting people will immediately attack the city!"
Ma Jin's voice was very loud, and the defenders of Song State could still hear it clearly in the sound of the trumpets of the Xuanting people. He was a little panicked just now. When he heard Ma Jin say this, he couldn't help but gradually calm down. Everyone's eyes were on this young man who was only in his twenties and looked a little calm. His leadership charm and leadership temperament made people unconsciously want to put hope on him.
The general of the Song State who assisted Ma Jin in guarding Yang Weimen, and the deputy envoy of the Guards and Infantry Department, Zhe Sihai, was also impressed by Ma Jin's temperament for a moment, bent down and clasped his fists, and said respectfully:
"What the master said is right. The military strategy is full of clever ways. War is a trick. It is impossible to show it if you can. If you cannot, you can show it. If you really want to attack the city, you will never make such a big fan. In the eyes of the humble official, the Xuanting people are creating momentum to create "display" and using "showing actions" to achieve a momentum to deter the enemy; creating "qi" and using "attacking the heart" to achieve a momentum to shock the enemy."
Speaking of this, Zhe Sihai scratched his head a little embarrassedly:
"Thanks to you, you are calm and stable in the face of danger, otherwise you will be in danger today."
Ma Jin looked at Jie Sihai with some appreciation, thinking that Song State is actually some talents, but it was ruined by the glitz-like atmosphere of Song State. He smiled and said:
"General Zhe, you don't have to belittle yourself. You have just never seen such a formation before, and you were taken away by the sound of the horn of the Xuanting Man. If you see it too much in the future, you will become accustomed to it."
Ma Jin's words made Zhe Sihai's face turn slightly red, and even a little groundless. In Ma Jin's opinion, ordinary things actually scared him, a senior general in Song State, to his limbs and his scalp numb. How ridiculous, so sad and pitiful.
At this time, Ma Jin looked at the other defenders of the Song State and said loudly:
"Soldiers, this is just Xuanting people making mysterious things. Don't be afraid." As he said that, he patted the battlements that were six feet tall and three or four feet thick and smiled:
"Look at this city wall, this city tower, and this battlement, even if the enemy grows wings, we will not be able to fly up for a while. We are condescending, throwing a stone at will toll them to death. With this heroic city, the right time, place and people are on our side. What do you think the Xuanting people can do to us?"
"And think about it, why did the Xuanting people come like this before the war? What does this mean? This shows that the Xuanting people themselves are not confident and are not sure of taking Lin'an. They do this to intimidate us and attack our morale. When the fight really starts, we will be timid when we meet them."
"You said, can we let them succeed?" Ma Jin talked happily, and the mood of the defenders on the city also fluctuated with Ma Jin's words. At this time, when he heard Ma Jin's words, he couldn't help shouting in unison:
"cannot!"
"Blow it!"
"That's right, who are they!"
“…………”
"Are you afraid?" Ma Jin asked again when he saw that his morale was available.
"Don't be afraid!!" The soldiers immediately shouted in unison, and the atmosphere on the city suddenly became warm.
Just now, a huge singing sounded on the city wall:
The imperial wind in all seas is quilted, and the virtue of thousands of years is clear.
I don’t even have the military uniform, and I’m successful today.
Looking back at the border, I was as low as a horse, and I saw rivers flowing eastward.
The power of heaven swept across the world, and the barbarians across the world were filled with the sound of the world.
The imperial wind in all seas is quilted, and the virtue of thousands of years is clear.
I don’t even have the military uniform, and I’m successful today.
The lord is the sage who opens the Chang calendar, and the minister is loyal and dedicated to the great plan.
…………
The passionate singing echoed over the Yangwei Gate like a sea of mountains and seas. Even the sound of the horns of the Xuanting people was suppressed. The extremely confident and arrogant aura in the song made the Song Dynasty defenders on the city infected one by one, one by one, one by two, and then everyone on the entire city tower sang loudly for a moment. The loud voice accompanied by gusts of east wind, radiating towards the surroundings like a strong wind and waves. For a moment, the singing of the Great Zhou war song remained in the whole world.
…………
Outside Lin'an City, Xuanting Camp.
Above a tall arrow tower, Qin Le had a gloomy face and looked at the huge city corridor opposite that had been trapped in ink:
"That song just now... seems to be not praising Song State, but... Da Zhou!" Thinking of this, Qin Le's face became more and more gloomy and he murmured:
"Can't it be that the army of the Great Zhou has arrived? Shouldn't it?"
"This is the guard of the Great Zhou delegation in Lin'an City. There are only 5,000 cavalry, not the main force of the Great Zhou!" At this moment, a powerful voice sounded from behind Qin Le. The person who spoke was a middle-aged man wearing silver armor, with a white face but no need, and a tall figure. This person was the new first-class counselor of the Central Army, and the minister of supervising the food and wages and military preparations - Ye Chan.
Qin Le looked at Ye Chan who had suddenly visited, and a trace of fear flashed deep in his eyes, and said calmly: "Oh, where did you know?"
Ye Chan shook his head and replied in a low voice:
"The 14th Prince, as long as you know that there is no Zhou army in the city, as for how I get the news, I don't care about your affairs with the 14th Prince."
"you……"
Qin Le was angry. Ye Chan was sent to the army by the prince two days ago. Since Ye Chan came, he has been fighting against him everywhere, and he has to make any moves. He even speaks sarcastically. If it weren't for the fact that he was sent by the prince, Qin Le would have found a reason to cut him down in anger.
Ye Chan walked to the railing and looked at the hazy Lin'an City, and said with a calm expression:
"Everyone in the world says that the army of Great Zhou is unparalleled in the world, and it is invincible in the battle. Today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation." He also looked at Qin Le specifically and said jokingly: "It has suppressed our powerful 14th prince."
Qin Le snorted coldly, looking at Ye Chan with a expressionless face and said, "Fighting on the battlefield is not about who has a loud voice, but about real swords and guns. When tomorrow, what kind of the Great Zhou army is, I will naturally know. Why do you, a corrupt scholar who doesn't know how to talk nonsense here?"
Ye Chan didn't care about Qin Le's attitude, but instead said with a smile: "The official will wish the 14th Prince a victory." As he said that, he turned around and walked under the arrow tower.
Qin Le looked at Ye Chan walking down the arrow tower with a dark face, turned to look at Mu Jiu who was not talking, and ordered:
"Send the order and wait until tomorrow morning, the main force of the army arrives and launch an attack immediately!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Mu Jiu's face; "Master, are you sure you want to attack Lin'an City? Our army is just a new arrival, and the army is trapped and horses are scarce, and even the surrounding terrain has not been checked in detail. If you attack the city so eagerly, if you lose it..."
A hint of coldness flashed in Qin Le's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers are the most important. Why do the defenders in the city have such morale now? I'm afraid it's because of these five thousand Zhou troops. What we have to do now is to destroy this Zhou army in one fell swoop and disintegrate the morale of the Song army. In this way, we can quickly capture Lin'an. Otherwise, if time is delayed for a long time, there will be other variables."
Mu Jiu's eyes flashed: "Since that's the case, the general is not as good as us to attack the city tonight. These Song people thought that we were all cavalrymen and would not attack the city, and the defense would inevitably be relaxed. We will definitely achieve success when we launch a night attack at this time!"
Qin Le did not answer Mu Jiu directly, but wandered around the arrow tower, and finally stood down and said calmly:
"No, it's getting late now, and there are probably defenses in the city. Taking a rash attack will only increase casualties. It's better to wait until the main force arrives tomorrow before siegeing the city."
"By the way, you send someone out overnight and collect more stones and wood for tomorrow's attack."
"Yes, Grandmaster!"
