Volume 2: Storms and clouds surging, thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River Chapter 317: Attack the city
Becoming the emperor begins with the son-in-law, the second volume is turbulent, thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River Chapter 317 Attacking the city Ning Que's arrival completely changed the originally delicate battle situation. The day after Ning Que arrived at the front line, Ningshan Mansion sent troops to Luzhou
, ready to start siege.
The head of the person who was sent to deliver the message was also hung on the city wall.
After Tan Zhen learned of Ning Que's arrival, he went to visit Ning Que. The two talked until late at night before returning to the camp. They made a fire at midnight and cooked at five. At dawn, everyone was ready.
However, they saw a sudden killing sound from the direction of Luzhou. Scouts broke into Ning Buhui's residence and reported the latest intelligence. Ning Buhui immediately ordered everyone to prepare to respond to the enemy. She also climbed onto the wall of the southern city and watched.
Two miles away, an army of 40,000 soldiers led by Tan Zhen lined up in order and were preparing equipment to attack the city.
Jiang Ning also climbed up the tower and saw the smoke in the north. There was already a war in Luzhou.
"Their purpose is to hold us back. We can't go to Luzhou," Jiang Ning said.
"If you stick out, as long as ten thousand people can stick out, you can kill them several times, and the pressure on Luzhou will be much less." Ning Buhui said.
"It looks like a smooth road, but in fact there are many ambush points along the way. If 30,000 people go out, they may be completely wiped out." Jiang Ning said worriedly.
"But over there in Luzhou... I heard that Ning Que has arrived..." Ning Buhui frowned and said, "If this is the case, Luzhou will definitely not be able to defend it."
"Let's do this. I'll take a thousand people out. You can feign an attack here and cover me. It will take more than fifty miles and half a day to arrive. If nothing happens, we can come back in the evening. During the feint, send people to set up an ambush at the north gate.
It's easy to respond." Jiang Ning said: "After I go out, I just need to hold on until I can get out. They can't attack."
"I'd better go..." Ning Buhui thought for a moment and rejected Jiang Ning's suggestion.
"If you go, you are playing into their hands. Once you leave, the entire Qingyang Town will be leaderless. My thousand men have been practicing for half a month, and it's time to see the results." Jiang Ning said: "Now again.
The reporter said that Ning Que is over there and will lead you there. Once you go, after I capture you, not to mention Luzhou, Qingyang Town will also be lost."
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he put on his soft armor and rode towards the north of the city with a thousand men and horses. At the same time, Zhao Xing led three thousand men and horses out of the city first. Sure enough, when they were two miles away, they encountered an ambush. Jiang Ning
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he broke into pieces and broke out, leading a thousand men and horses towards Luzhou at great speed.
These thousand people were all equipped with equipment and dry food according to Jiang Ning's arrangement. They rode forward on horseback, with every three people in a row. Each company commander was responsible for breaking out and gathering their own personnel. After traveling ten miles separately, they rejoined in the dense forest and advanced rapidly.
.
After being ambushed, Zhao Xing tried his best to cover Jiangning's men and horses to break out. In the end, only about 300 of the 3,000 men were left and they withdrew.
At the same time, Wang Ren led his troops out of the city and made a disturbance, which attracted Li Yunfei's men to pursue him. The catapults on the city wall threw flying stones and drove Li Yunfei back.
"Report..." the scout dismounted and said: "Five thousand men and horses in the north of the city broke through and were stopped. One thousand of them broke up and fled. Two thousand of the enemy were wiped out. The remaining one hundred men returned to the city."
"They must be deserters. Haha, just now Wang Ren attacked and killed eight hundred enemies, but he lost a thousand to himself. I have already killed him back." Li Yunfei also rushed to the middle of the army and said with a smile.
Tan Zhen and others were standing on the chariot. When Guo Shaojie heard this, he wondered: "A thousand people ran away?"
"Yes, they are all rats. According to them, these people escaped secretly and there is nothing to worry about." Li Yunfei chuckled and said, "If we attack the city, it is not a bad idea."
"How to attack?" Guo Shaojie asked back.
"Of course we should use the tower first and then the siege ram. That's it. There are still 40,000 troops inside. It must have become a mess by now." Li Yunfei said confidently.
Guo Shaojie laughed and said: "Haha, the scouts came to report that the moat is several feet wide, and the river is full of caltrops and thorn piles. How many people do we need to fill to get across? It is no longer realistic to push the tower through.
, look at the arrows piled on the horse's face, a hard attack will cause too much damage, the battle situation in Luzhou is still unclear, don't advance rashly."
"How can anyone not die in a war? How could it be a man to restrain his hands and feet like this?" Li Yunfei said with some dissatisfaction: "Their fighting power is not worth mentioning at all."
"If you don't believe it, General Li can give it a try." Guo Shaojie said: "You are right. If you don't give it a try, how will you know it won't work?"
"I also want to give it a try to see how much this guy weighs." Guo Shaojie continued: "Then let's ask General Li to take the lead..."
Li Yunfei cupped his hands and laughed: "Take the order..."
Immediately, he ordered ten thousand horses to march out, mobilized four tower vehicles, beat the war drums, and in an instant, thousands of arrows flew towards the tower.
"Hidden..." Gu Yunfang shouted, and everyone on the city wall raised their shields and joined together.
After three rounds of volleys, losses began to occur, and after these three rounds, the tower was pushed to the moat.
"Go up the ladder and attack the suspension bridge..." Li Yunfei took the lead, first setting up more than thirty ladders on the moat, and everyone began to cross the moat.
"Get started..." The archers on the horse were already ready, and were divided into three groups by Jiang Ning. One group was responsible for defense, and the other two groups rotated, a total of seventy people.
Li Yunfei's men on the ladder fell into the moat one by one under the dense arrows, letting out miserable wails. Some were directly penetrated by the pillars, and some rolled in the river and were stabbed to death by iron dysentery.
, some were shot to death by the archers above the horses, but in a moment, a thousand men and horses had been lost.
"Throw stones..." Guo Shaojie shouted, and the ropes of the five catapults in front of him were cut off directly. More than a dozen huge rocks roared out, hitting the city walls and horses with a roaring sound.
, many people were directly smashed to death on the spot, and some were even hit on shields, knocking people away with shields.
"Charge..." Li Yunfei once again commanded two thousand people to charge across the river. The water of the moat was dyed red with blood, emitting bursts of fishy smell, smoke was everywhere, and the sounds of shouting and charging could not be heard.
On the ladder frame, the suspension bridge was lowered, and with the sound of trumpets, the first tower was pushed under the city wall. Under the cover of the tower, the climbing operation began.
"Light the fire..." Ning Buhui ordered, killing the person who jumped up with one sword.
"Boom..." Cans of boiling oil were thrown onto the ladders and towers, followed by rockets. The gas was blazing, and the flames on the city walls began to rise into the sky.
People are constantly climbing up the tower. I have to admit that this is indeed a weapon for attacking the city. As long as someone can break through the defense of the city wall and go down to open the gate, the city will be considered broken.
But Zhujian Villa, under the leadership of Ning Buhui, did not let anyone go. Under the constant pouring of wine and hot oil, the towers were already like towers on fire. The purpose of climbing the towers could not be achieved, and
At this moment, Li Yunfei also made a bold decision. He mobilized more than 500 people to push the tower to the city gate and began to attack the city with a battering ram.
Chapter completed!
