Chapter 339 Battle of Lulong
"According to the information, Dou Jiande used more than 300,000 troops this time. However, the enemy troops in front of us seemed to be less than 200,000." Luo Yi said, sighing, "I originally thought Dou Jiande went south to fight the Wagang army.
I went there, but I didn't expect that things would be unexpected. They didn't start a war, so I recalled Dou Jiande again after this fight."
Zhang Lang smiled, "Things of the world are unpredictable, so don't take it too seriously! Let's discuss how to deal with Dou Jiande's attack!"
In the Xia army's tent, Zhao Cunrui said with shame: "I am incompetent, I'm completely wrong! I thought..." Dou Jiande smiled and said: "It's good! Finally, there is no need to guess how Zhang Lang will attack!"
Then he laughed at himself, "When I think about it now, we are also scaring ourselves! It's all because Zhang Lang's past record was too amazing! In fact, in the final analysis, Zhang Lang is just a person after all!" Everyone nodded.
Zhao Cunrui said: "Now you only need to attack Lu Long with all your might to achieve a complete victory over Luo Yi's battle. However, now that Zhang Lang personally led tens of thousands of troops to come, this battle will not be easy!" Dou Jiande was full of confidence.
"Although Zhang Lang brought 40,000 troops, we have nearly 180,000 troops. In this battle, our army is sure to win! Even if Zhang Lang's subordinates are all fierce, I will give them all.
It melted!" Then he shouted: "Tomorrow's attack plan will not change, attack at the same time from the west, south and north! I want to see how King Zhang Lang of Liao resisted it!" The generals held their fists and agreed.
The next day, just as the morning was dawn, the sound of the Xia army's war drums rang out loud. More than 100,000 Xia army soldiers divided into three parts to approach the city walls on the west, south and north. After a while, a crowd was surging and Xia army soldiers pushed them.
A large number of flying towers launched an attack. The flying tower was a very sharp siege equipment in ancient times. It was a bit similar to the arrow tower. It was as tall as the city wall. It was a vertical rectangle, from the bottom to the top and the left and right
They are all tightly wrapped in wooden boards, and behind is the stairway for people to go up, and at the top is a box for carrying people, with more than a dozen or even dozens of officers and soldiers hiding there. This kind of flying building can defend against any arrow attack.
When approaching close enough to the city wall, put down the front baffle of the box and put it on the head of the city. The officers and soldiers hidden in the box can rush to the head of the city in one fell swoop. At the same time, subsequent officers and soldiers can also pass through the three sides of the wooden board.
The stairway is protected and the box is climbed to the city wall to support the battle at the city wall. This kind of flying building is one of the main siege weapons until gunpowder weapons become popular.
I saw flying buildings leaning against the city wall, and the front baffles were placed down and smashing on the wall, making loud noises. Dou Jiande, the soldiers hidden in the box, rushed out immediately, ready to attack the city wall. However, it was here.
At that time, dense arrows flew over, and the Xia army officers and soldiers who were rushing to the city were shot and fell from a high place, and for a moment it seemed like a peach fell.
However, as more and more flying towers were built on the city wall, the crossbowmen could not handle it. Many Xia soldiers shouted and rushed to the city wall, and fought fiercely with the Liao army and Luo Yi army guarding the city wall.
I saw a piece of swords and swords flying everywhere. From time to time, the Liao army and Luo Yi army officers and soldiers were chopped to the ground. At the same time, the Xia army soldiers were constantly lifted up high by spears and pushed out of the city wall and fell down, making shrill screams.
At this time, the battle on the city wall was very fierce, and the subsequent Xia army officers and soldiers continued to climb up to the city wall through flying towers to join the battle. At this moment, although the Liao army and Luo Yi army on the city wall still had the advantage, if this continues, it will continue to develop.
The strength of the Xia army officers and soldiers will definitely exceed that of the Liao army and Luo Yi army, and the balance of the war is quietly tilting towards Dou Jiande.
At this moment, the small catapult cart on the top of the city threw clay pots at the flying building, and the loud bangs of sounds were heard on this noisy battlefield. The catapult cart was throwing clay pots for a round
Afterwards, the crossbowman immediately launched a wave of rockets at the Feilou. The rocket was nailed to the Feilou, and the flames suddenly burst out and spread rapidly. In a short while, the flames wrapped around the entire Feilou.
Burning!
Xia soldiers who were climbing the city wall through the Feilou saw that the Feilou suddenly became burning. They were shocked and fled outside. Some people were too anxious and fell from a high place with shrill screams.
Echoing over the noisy battlefield.
The Xia army officers and soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the Liao army on the top of the city suddenly found that the Feilou behind them was burning, and they were immediately frightened. Many people wanted to escape, but the Feilou was burned, but they wanted to escape but could not escape! At this time,
The Liao army and Luo Yi army launched a fierce counterattack and rushed into the middle of the Xia army, killing the Xia army officers and soldiers to retreat and blood flown. Some Xia army officers and soldiers jumped off the city wall in panic.
The battles everywhere on the city wall gradually subsided. Except for a few captured Xia soldiers, they were killed. They saw corpses stacked up, and the scene was shocking. At this time, huge bursts of thunder came from outside the city.
But the sound of the flying buildings burned by the flames collapsed one after another. The Xia army attacking troops retreated one after another. Dou Jiande was so angry that he looked at the scene in front of him. He originally thought that he had rushed to build a large number of flying buildings.
He attacked fiercely from three sides at the same time and could definitely break the city in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that his attack method would be resolved so easily by his opponent.
Dou Jiande was angry and ordered the troops to continue to attack the city. The war continued, but the Xia army officers and soldiers had just been frustrated. Although they attacked the city fiercely, they still failed to make any progress until dusk.
Seeing that it was getting late and his soldiers were already very tired, Dou Jiande had to order his troops to withdraw and return to the camp.
Dou Jiande, surrounded by everyone, strode into the tent and cursed angrily: "Damn it! Damn it! Unexpectedly, Zhang Lang actually came up with a way to burn my flying building with tung oil! I lost so many officers and soldiers in vain!"
Zhao Cunrui couldn't help but sigh: "The King of Liao is the King of Liao! It's not easy to defeat him!" Then he clasped his fists and said: "King, I thought of a plan, maybe it's possible!"
Dou Jiande was happy and asked hurriedly: "What are your good plans?"
"typical!"
Dou Jiande was stunned, "Authentic?"
Zhao Cunrui nodded, "We attacked head-on while making great efforts, while secretly digging tunnels from the west, south and north to enter the city. As long as one tunnel is dug through, Lu Long will definitely go down!" Dou Jiande slapped his hands and said happily: "Okay!
That's what we do!"
