Chapter 291: Something Bad Happens

As soon as he saw that the soldiers who returned to the mountain city not only did not surrender, but instead "shot" and killed the soldiers who persuaded him to surrender, Zhu Yanding's face was also covered with a layer of anger, and he gave an order.

Suddenly, the three roads moved together, the vanguard general Liu Zhi led 10,000 horses to the south gate in front of him, and the deputy general Lin Yun led 20,000 horses to follow closely, and at the same time, the deputy general Xu Yuanrong and the deputy general Zhang Shi each led 15,000 people to the left and right sides to detour to attack the west gate and the east gate.

"Knock-knock-" A loud sound like spring thunder suddenly sounded, and several giant crossbows on the walls of Huishan City had already 'shot' huge arrows.

The giant crossbow weighing hundreds of catties is one of the indispensable fortifications for the defense of the town, and the general crossbow must be matched with four or five giant crossbows on each city gate, and the crossbow arrows used in the giant crossbow are made of thick iron that are more than long and weigh hundreds of catties, so that the giant crossbow "shoots" out, whether it is "shot" to people or horses can continue to advance forward, and the lethality is quite large.

Of course, its weakness is also very obvious, that is, after using it once, the speed of the crossbow arrow is very slow, so it must be helped by an archer to delay the time.

Of course, Liu Zhi also knew this, so after the forward troops arrived hundreds of zhang outside the city, the archers immediately lined up and "shot" arrows with bows, and the two sides launched a rain of arrows.

After a round of arrow rain, the giant crossbow began the second wave of "shooting" attack, although there were 30,000 people attacking the south gate, but under the attack of the giant crossbow and arrow rain, hundreds of people were killed and wounded before they reached the city gate.

However, after all, the Yizhou army was outnumbered, and the forward troops rode their horses to advance quickly, intending to rush to the city gate with the fastest offensive, but before arriving at the city gate, they were tripped by the tripwire that had been set up on the ground, and suddenly a scene of people turning over on their backs, the men and horses in front had just fallen, and the men and horses behind them caught up again, and many soldiers who charged into battle did not fall from their horses and fell to their deaths, but were trampled to death by the horses that caught up behind.

The battlefield is ruthless, only life and death, if you want to live a small life, you must see six ways and listen to all directions, a slight mistake is a small life.

The offensive in front of us was so loud that a large number of men and horses were soon approaching the south gate, and the huge battering rams and ladders were carried by the soldiers, and some people died and immediately others picked up, and approached the city wall step by step on the blood-stained road.

When the two sides fought fiercely, the deputy general Zhang Shi had already led 15,000 men and horses to not much distance from the east gate, compared to the south gate where dense soldiers were stationed, the east gate seemed deserted, and there were only a few soldiers on it.

Zhang Shi was overjoyed at a glance, it seems that Huishan City focused on guarding the south gate, so there are no troops at the west gate and the east gate, and he is not suspicious of fraud, after all, there are only 5,000 troops in Huishan City, which is built by the mountain, there are three city gates, and it is impossible to hold all three city gates.

Seeing that the first merit of capturing the city was about to fall into his own hands, Zhang Shi waved his hand, and the soldiers and horses accelerated forward, although the men and horses in front were also tripped by the tripping rope a lot, but did not let the first merit fall into the hands of Xu Yuanrong, the deputy general who attacked the West Gate, Zhang Shi loudly ordered the following to follow, and before the battle began, many soldiers had already died under the iron cavalry of their own men and horses.

Just when everyone rushed to the west gate of the city, suddenly there were bursts of screams in the ranks, and when everyone turned back, they were suddenly taken aback, on the hillside behind, I don't know when a black and oppressive figure appeared, and rows of archers were half-crouching, sending out fatal feather arrows.

"It's not good, it's in an ambush!" Zhang Shi shouted, it was unbelievable in the face of the sudden appearance of the enemy, there were tens of thousands of people in the distance, where did so many soldiers and horses come from back to the mountain city!

In this hesitation, another round of rain arrows has struck, the first to bear the brunt of the cavalry and archers without shields, because the sneak attack is coming from behind without warning, so a wave of arrows rained down, and hundreds of people died in these two arms alone, even if there are many warriors with shields, many of them have no time to defend and are "shot" killed.

"Kill!" Fang Ling roared, Chi Yan let out a long hiss that shocked the nine heavens, and took the lead in rushing out of the ranks of archers, Song Ying'er rode a red horse and followed closely, holding a bright and dangling long sword in his hand, Dong Canghai and Shen Huantian and the others all roared wildly, and 10,000 soldiers roared in unison, and the sound went straight to the nine skies.

Zhang Shi's troops were first attacked by two rounds of arrow rain and were caught off guard, although the formation was not "chaotic", but nearly 2,000 people were killed and wounded, and now they were taken aback by the enemy's momentum, and they raised their weapons to meet the enemy.

The conflict broke out in an instant, and the wolf-like soldiers of the Shicheng Kingdom surged up like a "tide", besieging Zhang Shi's men and horses under the West City Gate.

At this moment, a large group of soldiers appeared on the city wall, and under the command of a lieutenant, the soldiers set up their bows and arrows and "shot" at the enemy troops below.

The soldiers of Yizhou Kingdom were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, desperately rushing outward, however, the way out had been blocked by the soldiers of Shicheng Kingdom, surrounding this place like an iron bucket.

So, iron arrows fell from the sky, taking the lives of one enemy after another, Zhang Shi was annoyed and ashamed, but he was at a loss for a while, if he didn't want the enemy on the city gate to "shoot" arrows, then he had to set up a ladder to attack the city, but now how can there be such an opportunity in this chaotic situation?

What's more, there are tens of thousands of enemies on the periphery, and they can't cope with it without the whole army dispatching, and moreover, the elite soldiers under their own command are actually ashamed of the enemy's attack, and it seems that the armies of the two sides are not of the same grade at all.

Fang Ling swung his sword and slashed the enemy, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he saw that the opponent's position was 'chaotic', so he shouted steeply: "The king of Shicheng is here, and those who descend will not be killed!"

This roar was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which shocked Zhang Shi for a while, and the soldiers' psychological defense line collapsed in an instant.

The young man who shouted was holding a huge black knife, handsome, majestic, and riding a big horse covered in blood, proud as a king, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a second such horse in the world, isn't this just like the legendary King of Shicheng?

As soon as Fang Ling's words fell, tens of thousands of soldiers roared in unison, and some Yizhou soldiers with poor psychological quality were even so frightened that their weapons fell to the ground.

Everyone has heard of the ambush of Gu Shaofeng by the King of Shicheng, and the high-ranking northern general was killed by the King of Shicheng without warning, and afterwards, the King of Shicheng swaggered back to Dingzhou, and at that time he brought only 3,000 men and horses.

And now, this is obviously another trap, a trap for Western generals, and at the same time, there are also bursts of screams in the west, which shows that his strength is not more than 10,000, and everyone is frightened, and they don't know whether to fight or surrender for a while.

However, the people and horses of Shichengguo did not stop because of these words, they charged like wolves, one by one, regardless of life and death, screaming and killing, the ruthlessness made people shudder, and those eyes made people "hairy" and terrifying, like the god of death from hell.

Many people were so frightened that they threw away their weapons automatically, how could they dare to fight with such an army?

Because Huishan City is built on the mountain, the roads outside the city are a little sloped, so although Zhu Yanding is not far from the south gate, he can't see the battle between the east gate and the west gate, and when he hears the sound of battle, he thinks that the siege is being lively.

What's more, Fang Ling's siege tactics did not spare anyone who went to report the news, so when Zhang Shi's troops at the east gate died and surrendered, Zhu Yanding didn't know everything that happened here.

At the same time, outside the West Gate, the troops led by General Zheng Junsan, who took the same offensive according to the gourd painting scoop, also won a complete victory.

After receiving a notice of the battle situation from his subordinates on the city wall, Bai Guangling, who was commanding the army to fight hard, immediately issued an order to retreat, in fact, at this time, the city gate of the south gate was only one step away from being breached.

As soon as he saw the soldiers defending the city fleeing with their armor thrown away their armor, the general Liu Zhi laughed loudly, and when the battering ram smashed the city gate, he led his men and horses to immediately rush into the city.

However, as soon as they entered the city, everyone immediately smelled a strong smell, and then someone shouted, "It's grease!"

Liu Zhi's face changed completely, and all the people looked down, only to see that the ground in the city was actually a piece of grease, Liu Zhi couldn't help but yell: "Retreat, quickly give Ben will retreat!"

Everyone knows how powerful this grease is, as long as someone puts a fire here, a piece of land in front of this city gate will have to become a sea of fire, Liu Zhi doesn't want to become a roasted person by himself.

However, there were 30,000 soldiers in the siege, and although there were nearly a few thousand killed and wounded in the attack, there were more than 20,000 remaining.

The news of the grease spread throughout the besieging team, and everyone retreated in a hurry, for fear of setting themselves on fire, and for a while, the original order collapsed at once.

At this time, Fang Ling's troops and Zheng Jun's troops came from the direction of the east gate and the west gate, and the Yizhou army at the south gate naturally didn't think much about it, thinking that the two roads did not capture the city gate, and returned.

However, when Fang Ling roared and played the banner of the King of Shicheng, everyone felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned back to face the battle.

However, there is the threat of grease in front, there are two ways of soldiers and horses besieging in the back, coupled with the prestige and number of the king of Shicheng, which is not less than the army of the South Gate team, for a time the Yizhou army was defeated and defeated, crying father and mother, Liu Zhi and others were trapped in the city, to move forward is a piece of grease in front of it, the more you advance, the more dangerous it is, whoever throws a torch over does not even have a place to escape, if you retreat, the crowded city gate has made it impossible to retreat.

The siege team that was scattered into a plate of scattered sand was immediately defeated, and it was no longer able to fight, and at this time, Zhu Yanding hurriedly led the last 10,000 horses to the rescue.
