Chapter 91 The Battle of the Counties (5) Seeking the Moon in the Mid-Month(1/2)
"Seven...eight, nine!"
Zhang Niuer stood on the top of the city and scattered at the Langya soldiers.
Before the three rounds of shooting, he couldn't remember exactly how many people he shot. However, when the Langya soldiers approached the city wall, he simply stood at the top of the city and shot his opponent with one arrow. The initial tension had long disappeared. There was only one thought left in his mind: kill the opponent!
In fact, I don’t know if Zhang Niuer thought so.
All the soldiers on the city had relaxed and kept shooting arrows at the Langya soldiers.
At the same time, Xu Sheng stood under the city and directed the throwing cart to throw tinder oil into the outside of the city.
They smashed turtle oil into the pottery jar, then wrapped it with hay, lit the hay, and threw it out of the city with a catapult. More than a dozen catapults were creaking, and the turtle oil flew out like raindrops, landing in the crowd, on the open space, the pottery jar shattered, and immediately burned when it came to flames. In an instant, thick smoke outside the city of Tobu, and the scene looked like a battlefield in later generations.
The turbulent oil poured on the Langya soldiers, and immediately turned the other party into a fireman, howling and rolling on the battlefield.
Liu Chuang held an iron-tied bow in his hand and his face was cold.
The arrows beside him had already shot two Hu Lu, which was only one hundred sharp arrows.
Seeing that the Langya soldiers rushed to the city, someone shouted loudly on the top of the city: "Water!"
A pot of hot boiling water was poured from the city. From a distance, it looked like white dragons flying in the clouds and mist rushed out from the head of Dongwu City. The boiling water was poured down, and the Langya soldiers who could not dodge were poured on, and their skin was immediately burned.
"Rolling the wood!"
Another shout was made. The trunks that needed two people to embrace each other were smashing down from the city. The Langya soldiers were covered in blood.
A siege car slowly walked towards the city gate.
Seeing that the arrow was not allowed to make a contribution, Liu Chuang turned around and picked up a rolling wood weighing dozens of kilograms from the head of the city. He raised his hands high above his head, roared and smashed it down the city. Then he heard a click, the rolling wood hit the siege car, which immediately smashed the siege car into pieces.
The Langya soldiers behind the chariot were killed and injured, and they fell to the ground and wailed continuously.
Bangbangbangbangbang!
From a distance, a sound of gongs came.
After hundreds of casualties, the Langya soldiers retreated like a tide.
"Stop shooting arrows, stop shooting arrows!"
A shout sounded above the city.
Liu Chuang took a breath, walked behind the female wall, leaned over to look out of the city.
At this time, Xu Chu led his troops to the top of the city, walked to Liu Chuang and asked in a low voice: "Meng Yan. What's the situation?"
"This guy Xiao Jian seems to have to accumulate strength.
It was just him who was testing it. He would definitely strengthen the offensive next. Brother Tiger, it depends on you for the rest... As long as you can last for two days, Xiao Jianbing's momentum will inevitably weaken. At that time, we will send a wolf smoke to inform Ziyi, we will attack inside and outside, and we will surely defeat Xiao Jian."
Xu Chu grinned and said, "Don't worry, Meng Yan, he can't do anything to us!"
About an hour later, the Langya soldiers launched a second wave of attacks on Dongwu County.
Obviously, Xiao Jian did not take a single gamble and put all his troops into the battlefield. Standing at the head of Dongwu County, you can clearly see that Xiao Jian's central army formation did not fluctuate. In other words, at this time, Xiao Jian was still a little cautious... The Langya soldiers attacked in turn, like a tide, and waves of attacks on the gates of Dongwu County. As the battle between the two sides became increasingly fierce, Liu Chuang consciously attracted Xiao Jian to continue to invest his troops. Gradually, both sides became angry. Xiao Jian gradually became a little turbulent from the initial restraint.
In the evening, with Xiao Jian's last round of attack failure, the two sides finally stopped fighting.
But Liu Chuang knew very well that this was just a temporary stop.
"Wen Xiang, you will be on duty tonight.
Xiao Jian suffered heavy losses during the day. I think he could no longer suppress his anger and would probably launch a general attack soon.
I have ordered that the men and women do not remove their armor tonight, the horses do not remove their saddles, and the swords must not be left. Then collect the wooden and rocks, prepare boiling water and turmeric oil at the same time. If they are not done properly, Xiao Jian will likely attack at night. Everyone needs to be vigilant and be vigilant."
This night watch must be done by someone who is careful.
Although Xu Chu is brave, he is far less careful than Xu Sheng.
Moreover, he fought hard all day long and had almost no rest, so he was a little tired.
Liu Chuang asked Xu Chu's troops to rest, and then led his troops to wait for their orders under the city... During a war during the day, hundreds of people were killed or injured in the Dongwu soldiers. However, the casualties of the Langya soldiers were even more severe. According to Liu Chuang's rough calculations, their casualties were at least more than one thousand.
In this case, it may be difficult for Xiao Jian to remain calm.
Gathering elite troops in Langya and besieging a small city in Dongwu, paying such a great price, but there has been no gains so far...
I'm afraid it's hard to get over this face.
So Liu Chuang believes that Xiao Jian is almost always going to bet.
Only by mobilizing all Xiao Jian's troops to the battlefield can we prepare for the final blow.
"Today's battle is just the beginning.
It is estimated that tomorrow will be very difficult... We must endure all Xiao Jian's troops head-on... At that time, everyone will fight to the death."
"Here!"
Liu Chuang rested on the city gate tower, and the city's security was left to Bu Zhi and Huang Zhen.
Fortunately, there are still a thousand people in the baggage battalion that can be dispatched. The combat effectiveness of these people may not be as good as other soldiers, but it is more than enough to maintain public order. Not to mention, the leader was Wu Anguo. Although he had one hand, his kung fu did not lose his skills. A machete weighing more than thirty pounds could be worth one hundred. In addition, Wu Anguo has been in Dongwu for many years and is also very familiar with the situation in Dongwu County.
How many alleys and how many blind spots are there...
Those people in this county are in danger, or who likes to gather people to cause trouble? Wu Anguo's heart is like a mirror.
When he returned to Dongwu County, he quickly took over the security in the city.
Almost at the first moment, Wu Anguo controlled the idle men in the city. Liu Chuang was quite relieved to have him lead the team to patrol.
He sat in the city gate tower, holding a volume of spring and autumn. He read under the lamp.
Gu Guanyu read Spring and Autumn at night. Today I will come to the battlefield to read Spring and Autumn at night... Liu Chuang's calmness and calmness also made the soldiers on duty at the city breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing Liu Chuang so calm, they were not so nervous and patrolled the city in an orderly manner.
Bang, bang, bang...
Before I knew it, the three sounds of the scattered battle on the top of the city were already three times.
On Tobu City, the lights are brightly lit.
More than a dozen fires were lit under the city, and Xu Sheng ordered people to throw firewood to illuminate the city and prevent the Langya soldiers from sneak attacking.
"Wenying, what's the situation?"
"Everything is OK."
Liu Chuang read the book for a while and was a little tired.
To be honest, the content of "Spring and Autumn" is difficult to understand, and Liu Tao's annotations are also quite obscure.
Liu Chuang's ancient Chinese skills are not particularly good, and he has already felt difficult to see the Spring and Autumn Period. If he wants to understand Liu Tao's annotations, he will feel even more difficult to do.
But he must read it.
Not only do you need to read it, but you also try to understand the meaning of it.
This is something left by his father. Even if he cannot fully understand it, he must be able to recite it when talking to others in the future. If he can't even understand his cheap articles, he will definitely be ridiculed and Yu Liu Chuang's reputation is not very good.
Liu Chuang doesn’t study hard, but he asks not to be embarrassed.
But he had to admit that it was too difficult to figure out Liu Tao's comments.
After watching for a while, he couldn't stand it anymore.
Put Chunqiu beside me, stood up and stretched, and walked out of the gatehouse.
Xu Sheng was patrolling the city with his men. When he saw Liu Chuang, he stopped to salute.
"Young Master, after this battle, can you conquer Langya County?"
"Um!"
"Why don't you just occupy Ju County, or seize Haiqu and Yangdu?"
Liu Chuang took a deep breath and laughed: "It's not that easy... We can occupy Dongwu, which has touched Xiao Jian's nerves. Like Langya County, and even Gumu County, it is relatively remote. Even if it is occupied, it will not anger others. These places are like that kind of uninhabited land, so it's okay to occupy them. But if we capture Haiqu, Yangdu, Ju County, etc., Cao Cao and Lu Bu will not agree.
Our current strength is still a bit weak after all.
If you can seize the Beihai, Donglai is already the ultimate. If you want to be greedy, I am afraid... Wen Xiang has ever heard an old saying that greed is not enough for snakes to swallow elephants. The snake has such a big appetite, but it wants to swallow the elephant. As a result, even if he swallows it, he will be swelled to death.
I don’t want to be the snake that swallows the elephant. Kong Ming and Zishan both said that now we should take it slowly. If we advance rashly, we will die a good death."
Ju County is Xu Sheng’s hometown.
Although he didn't say anything, Liu Chuang knew that in Xu Sheng's heart, he still had some concerns about Ju County.
However, at this moment, he really has no way to promise anything. How to go about the future? He does not have a proper solution yet. Now he enters Beihai, there are many difficulties. If he wants to dominate the side in the future... I think about it, it is really a headache.
"ah!"
Just as Liu Chuang and Xu Sheng were talking, they suddenly heard a scream from afar.
From outside the city wall, more than a hundred soldiers suddenly rushed up, wearing red foreheads and red silk on their arms. They all rushed up with knives and slashed wildly.
Liu Chuang was stunned and shouted loudly: "Enemy attacks, Wen Xiang, beat the drum and roar!"
Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards the enemy group like a whirlwind.
Two Langya soldiers wearing red foreheads rushed towards Liu Chuang. However, they saw Liu Chuang sticking out his hands and grabbing their arms with a swollen one.
He is tall and has a long arms, and has a natural advantage.
To be continued...
