Chapter 414
Ask for help
Wu Ming went down, but Liu Ping still had a lot of things to do. He had to take advantage of these few hours to make this city that is not very suitable for defense stronger and stronger!
When the sky was shining, Li Yuanhao and his large squadrons rushed here like a torrent, and the sky was filled with the iron cavalry of the Dangxiang people.
Liu Ping touched the wall bricks with his hand, and he could feel that the wall bricks were shaking. Dangxiang's troops were tens of thousands! In comparison, back to Yancheng was too small, so small that it seemed that there was no need to fight. Dangxiang people could bury her with just one charge!
"I'm sure that Li Yuanhao had been ambushed somewhere on the border. He had not returned to Yanzhou at all. Returning to Yanzhou was just one of the few soldiers of the Dangxiang people! In order to lead Lord Fan's main force out!" Liu Ping said.
Shi Yuansun was a little depressed: "Li Yuanhao is really difficult to deal with. Lord Fan was thinking about leading him out, but he didn't expect that he had been waiting outside for a long time. This person's military use is really unpredictable."
Liu Ping suddenly sneered: "As long as we can hold on to the arrival of reinforcements, we can still defeat him! It is really a coincidence that he chose our path! He has no good chess to walk anymore. Let's hold here to make a bone stuck in his throat!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Wu Ming on the side: "Brother, it depends on you. You must go out! You are not only responsible for the lives of five thousand of us, but also the safety of the entire western border of the Song Dynasty! Do you know if you must meet Lord Fan?"
Wu Ming nodded: "Don't worry, General, I will definitely be able to go out."
Just after he finished speaking, a horse Dangxiang ran to the city. The Dangxiang soldier shouted loudly: "Listen to the Song army in the city! Our king said, as long as you surrender now, you can ensure that you can live! If you fight to the end, you will be flattened, and you will not be left behind!"
He shouted fiercely, but Liu Ping smiled relaxedly: "It seems that Li Yuanhao is not a god. There are two thousand people in this city. If he says this, it is equivalent to the people being forced into a dead end, which makes us have more helpers."
Geng Tiande picked up the crossbow and shot it at the Dangxiang man, and the man was dismissed.
This is the best answer, there is nothing to talk about. In an instant, the horn of the Dangxiang people's attack resounded throughout the world.
Li Yuanhao's attack was very organized. The first wave of attacks was an infantry carrying a wooden shield. These people stopped outside the ground and then raised a shield wall. Instead of attacking the city immediately, they dug out a trench more than a half meter deep on the ground.
This surprised Geng Tiande: "What is Li Yuanhao doing? After digging a trench, how can his war horse increase its speed?"
Liu Ping's face was solemn: "This is exactly his wiseness. In the battle of siege, how can the cavalry rush to the top of the city? He dug trenches to avoid our crossbow shooting, so that the Dangxiang infantry can advance in the trenches, which can greatly reduce the lethality of our crossbows."
When the generals heard this, they immediately understood the truth.
The Dangxiang people below relied on the trench to approach slowly, while the Song soldiers were busy moving the prepared supplies onto the city walls, wood, stones, and oil were all ready and the collision was about to occur.
Yan Zhan leaned against Dong Kui, and the two of them curled up under the walls. Occasionally, some bows and arrows flew over their heads. The enemy shouted very hard below, but they both seemed very peaceful.
This is the veteran. A veteran who has fought countless times with the enemy will not take life and death seriously. When the battle comes, they will not be nervous at all.
Dong Kui poked Yan Zhan with his arm: "Brother, I heard that your family told you about his wife?"
Yan Zhan smiled: "Hehe, I'll say it, I'll wait for me to go back and get married this time. I'm not hiding it from my brother, I feel so itchy in my heart. I don't know what my wife is like."
A feather arrow brushed over Dong Kui's head and collided on his helmet. Yan Zhan hurriedly moved his body: "Come to me."
Dong Kui leaned towards him: "It's good to have a wife. I also want to have a wife. When I go back to hug my warm body and rub it hard, it's much better than holding the quilt every day."
Yan Zhan nodded: "To be honest, my father's attitude towards me is different when I go home this time! He used to say that a good man is not a soldier and always blames me for living all day long, but this time I went back, my family cooked eight dishes for me!"
Dong Kui sighed: "Me too. My brother and sister-in-law are no longer the same as before. I am afraid when I see me coming. This time my sister-in-law picked me up."
Dong Kui smiled and continued, "I heard that the emperor is going to strengthen the army soon. We will definitely live a better life in the future. I hope we will be lucky. You can go back to get married, and I can have a wedding wine, brother!"
At this moment, a crisp sound suddenly sounded on the wall. Dong Kui knew that it was the sound of a wooden ladder resting on the wall! He hurriedly stood up: "Here you come!"
As he said that, he pushed up the shield in his hand and stood up, stretched forward, and pushed the shield out of the battlement. Yan Zhan shrank behind the shield, stretched out his head and saw three Dangxiang people climbing the city wall. He picked up the crossbow in his hand, aiming one by one, and shot all of them under Dong Kui's cover!
But just now I pushed open the wooden ladder, and more wooden ladders next to it were already on the city wall!
Dong Kui shouted: "Brothers! Get up and fight!"
The shouts of shouts sounded up and down the city, and the soldiers' wails were mixed in, and the flying arrows kept piercing the bodies of those unlucky people.
In just one cup of tea, dozens of corpses piled up under the city.
This is how siege battles are. As the attacking party, you must be prepared to bear casualties, so the military books say, "The siege is under it."
The cooperation between the Song army was very well-organized. Although this army had undergone reorganization, they were still the "biting dog". Their fangs were still there and their claws were there!
"Car crossbow! Where is the chariot crossbow? Shoot the enemy's support! Shoot!" Dong Kui shouted loudly. There were more than a dozen chariot crossbows on both sides of the city wall. This thing is very powerful. In a dense formation like the Dangxiang people in front of him, two crossbow arrows can shoot them into a piece! The shield cannot resist it at all.
But the dozen or so car crossbows have not moved yet, and the enemy can rush over boldly. Seeing that there are more and more long ladders, many brothers have been shot and injured. Dong Kui was extremely anxious!
Yan Zhan also felt a little troubled. He was as depressed as Dong Kui. Why was there no support from crossbowmen on both sides? He leaned against Dong Kui and said, "Brother, don't expect those grandchildren anymore. Use thunder in the palm of your hand? There are so many enemies under the city, and more than a dozen strokes are enough!"
The palm thunder was another weapon they brought to the battlefield this time. When Dong Kui was about to nod, Yang Qing suddenly ran over and patted Dong Kui on the shoulder: "Dong Kui, withdraw half of his troops and let the Dangxiang people rush up later! The palm thunder was also put away, and it is not allowed to be used!"
Dong Kui was stunned: "Why?"
Yang Qing did not explain: "Order up the peak!"
Yan Zhan glared at Yang Qing: "***, I think you are troublesome, so he has long been fucking disliked you!"
Yang Qing snorted coldly: "Do you like me?"
He glared at Yan Zhan fiercely, then ran quickly towards the other wall.
Dong Kui's chest fluctuated sharply a few times, and finally said, "Take half of my brothers!"
The Dangxiang people's attacks became more and more fierce, and the Song army withdrew half of the people. The absolute disadvantage in numbers caused them to have no ability to block the enemy's attack waves. Although they were struggling to resist, the Dangxiang people's wooden ladders were more and more on the wall. It didn't take long for the first Dangxiang soldiers to rush up.
The Dangxiang people were as numerous as floods. When the Song army could not stop this torrent, as long as a small gap was washed open, it would never be stopped!
Sheng Tao just slashed the knife on a Dangxiang man's neck. Just as he was about to wipe it, he suddenly found a cold light coming towards him!
I didn't want the knife at the moment, and I rolled my whole body to the point. I just dodged my position and saw a sharp spear piercing on the blue brick, colliding with sparks.
The Dangxiang man who was chopped into the neck was also fierce. He knew that he wanted the knife to pull it out and his life would be gone immediately. At this time, he let out a wolf howl. Regardless of the swords and guns of the surrounding Song army, his whole body rushed towards Sheng Tao, just wanting to kill the guy who killed him!
Sheng Tao knew that once he was hugged by this guy, the swords around him would be chopped at them immediately! This guy was almost the same as the dead, and he had no reason to accompany him!
A Song army was quick to see the opportunity, and the knife slashed at the Dangxiang people again. The guy subconsciously hid back, but the knife on his neck was cut to the ground by the Song army! As soon as the knife fell to the ground, a stream of blood spurted out from the neck, and the man's whole body fell softly to the ground!
"Sheng Tao, go! Go back! Can't stand it anymore!"
Yan Zhan shouted loudly. Sheng Tao did not dare to stay wherever he could touch a spear on the ground. He just used it as a weapon and rolled and crawled towards his own military formation.
A Song army retreated a little slower and suddenly became the most prominent point. Weapons from all directions immediately came to him! In a blink of an eye, both arms disappeared, and then a stream of scarlet blood rushed out of more than half a meter high.
Dong Kui and his brothers fought and retreated, while constantly sending out signals of asking for help.
On the other side of the city wall, Yang Qing put Wu Ming into a military uniform of the Dangxiang people who had just been removed from the body and patted Wu Ming on the shoulder: "Be careful brother, I will hit you with all my strength later. You must try to run faster, otherwise our subsequent crossbow may accidentally hurt you."
Wu Ming nodded: "I understand."
Yang Qing looked at Wu Ming again, and after she couldn't see any flaws, she said to the people around her with confidence: "Send a signal and tell the adults that it's OK."
A firework rose into the air, and the attacking Dangxiang troops were suddenly shot by intensive crossbows. More than a dozen sledgehammers hit the crossbow trigger that had already been equipped with crossbow arrows. The trigger was very strong and human power could not fire at all. You can imagine how powerful the crossbow arrows it shot were!
The crossbow made a howling sound. When the arrow body as thick as a fist cut through the air, it seemed like a ghost howling. More than twenty crossbows shot at the Dangxiang people, and the shield could not resist it. A crossbow arrow often had to shoot through three or five people before it could stop its castration!
