423. Fire Purgatory
King Pingdong was very proud, and after he got the first-hand report, he did not tell the other two princes directly.
Now they have confirmed that the person who burned down the granary was Li Hugo, and the person who assassinated the three princes was also Li Hugo, and Li Hugo has now become the enemy of the entire Great Liao, no matter who beheads Li Hugo, it will be written into the history books of the Great Liao.
Therefore, the king of Pingdong gathered his most elite team and marched towards Liangcheng, the army of the king of Pingdong was the navy of the East China Sea, although he was not very familiar with the battles on land, but the well-trained navy was very sure to deal with these 20,000 stragglers.
He looked down on Li Hugo from the bottom of his heart, because Li Hugo had never fought them head-on, and this time as long as Li Hugo was made dumplings, then his name as the king of Pingdong would shock the entire Great Liao!
100,000 soldiers and horses, lined up in a long snake formation, from east to west, towards Liangcheng.
Came near the city wall, the current King of Pingdong can be said to be very majestic, the golden armor is the exclusive to the prince of the Ping generation, symbolizing the largest prince under the monarchy, even the prime minister is unmatched, and he holds a trident in his hand, which is one of the three major national weapons of Daliao.
It is a supreme treasure that can call out a tsunami and form a tornado at sea, which is extremely powerful, but this is land, and the natural effect is greatly reduced.
In addition, 100,000 soldiers and horses, starry nights, in two days, came from Heavenly Sword City to the vicinity of this small Liang City, wearing sea-blue armor, these 100,000 people are also huge.
"It's finally here. Li Hugo stood on the city wall and said.
Seeing Li Hugo appear, this shocked King Pingdong, he didn't expect Li Hugo to find out in advance: "What's going on?"
"I was sold, and I'm still counting the money here. Li Hugo smiled.
King Pingdong got off his mount, but found that the ground was soft, and he didn't care: "You mean, Liang Cheng is too shou to rebel?!"
"Lord Wang, save me!" a shout appeared from the city, and it turned out that Taishou was hanging in the air.
Li Hugo said: "I have long known that this Taishou is not well-intentioned, but this is okay, I can let you take the bait, and it will be worth it, I thought that I would have a few more princes so that I could catch them all, but I didn't expect that only you would come, so it's okay, it's okay!"
"You, how did you find out about my arrangement!?" Taishou gritted his teeth, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and it was obvious that Li Hugo had a special treat for him.
Li Hugo said: "I deliberately disposed of the nine scouts in front of you, but in the last one, you used the most powerful scouts under you, so I deliberately let them go, which makes you feel that this scout is powerful and has escaped my surveillance, on the other hand, I intercepted it in front of you, creating a false impression for you, that is, I am particularly afraid of the prince's army." β
"You ......" was so angry that he trembled.
Li Hugo said again: "Also, I know that when you come here from the east, it must be this city gate, so you will fight here, and I have prepared a feast for you to taste together, King Pingdong, don't you think the taste is very pungent under your feet?"
As soon as these words came out, King Pingdong immediately kicked at his feet, but was shocked to find that there was a layer of mud under his feet, but under the mud skin was a layer of fire oil!
Li Hugo raised his hand, and in an instant, a large number of archers appeared on the city, and these archers dipped their arrows in fire oil to form rockets, and Li Hugo said: "Release!"
At the sound of the order, a wave of arrows rained down with flames, and the scene was so vast that it was almost as if a beast was about to devour infinite lives.
And King Pingdong was shocked, and immediately said: "Retreat, retreat to the valley and leave!"
"Lord Wang, we have been robbed behind us, and it is a heavy shield team of five hundred people, and they have blocked our only way out!" said a 10,000-strong captain.
King Pingdong gave him a mouthful of the mouth: "You, you said it earlier! This is the mouth of the gourd, once the front and back are blocked, it is to catch the turtle in the urn, not good...... This Li Hugo has long planned to calculate us like this!"
Li Hugo chose this Liangcheng at the beginning, in addition to Pei Yunhai, the bigger reason is the terrain here, although the previous Liangcheng terrain is good, but the quality of the soldiers is not high, so Li Hugo can easily take it by surprise, but now Li Hugo has changed the pattern of the entire Liangcheng with the largest formation, so this Liangcheng immediately became a military fortress, except for the city wall is a little thinner, the others are almost invulnerable, of course, if you want to strengthen the city wall, this is absolutely impossible, strengthen the city wall for less than three months, more than several years, after all, the siege is very largeγ
It happened that Li Hugo was surrounded by Pei Yunhai, and he brought a group of brothers who could be said to be natives of Liangcheng, and he had already prepared a big gift for Li Hugo, and he moved the largest rolling wood and stones around Liangcheng to form a complete set of city defense system.
And the spout behind King Pingdong can be said to be extremely narrow, similar to the hot spring pass in the Battle of Hot Spring Pass, only five meters left and right, so it is more than enough for five hundred people to block this spout.
So after thinking about it again, King Pingdong said: "The mouth of the pot can't be pushed off for a while, in this case, the city defense of Liangcheng is notoriously poor, all the soldiers listened to the order, and broke through the gate of Liangcheng with me, and annihilated the thief army!"
Be!
The surrounding momentum was huge, and in the face of the danger of death, the fighting spirit of the soldiers was also pushed to the peak.
But Li Hugo's side has already prepared: "How many new catapults have been built?"
"Three. Pei Yunhai said, "Because the time is too tight, so only three have been completed, originally I wanted to build more, but the brothers are already exhausted, for three days, we have been all night to build catapults." β
"Three is enough, go to the fire oil altar!" Li Hugo shouted.
The tanks filled with oil were sealed with gauze, and when they were ignited, the catapult's machine turned violently, and the oil jars turned red towards the enemy group like flying cannonballs.
Once the burning oil barrel collides with the pre-prepared oil on the ground, the flames will spread out, and the spout of the pot will become a huge fire.
A young man with a golden soldier holding a burning red shield in his hand, he gritted his teeth and insisted, sweat constantly coming out of his forehead: "Brothers, keep an eye on it, this is General Li's chance to give us bravery, we should have died under military law, but this time...... We will use our own blood and flesh to stop these thieves!"
"Hold on!"
The shield soldiers of the household registration regarded death as if they were home, and they were not afraid to carry their shields, and those Liao soldiers who were jumping around in the eyes of the fire wanted to run, but it was too late, and they were immediately entangled in flames.
At the same time, rolling wood, oil jars, falling rocks and other city defense weapons have been opened in full force, and the entire pot mouth has become a fiery purgatory!
