Chapter 98: The Secret Weapon
As long as reinforcements arrive, destroy 2,000 people, and capture Ivan, everything will be worry-free.
The army of vipers on the city walls was in a dilemma and hesitated. The guards on the city wall were terrified, for fear that if one was not careful, a poisonous snake would bite him, and his life would be lost. As a result, Mido's subordinates dealt with the Southern Han army under the city, but also worried about the poisonous snakes behind them.
As the saying goes, there is no use for the heart, so the combat effectiveness is suddenly a lot weaker. And the 1,000 Southern Han army led by General Sula is not afraid of poisonous snakes, and their combat effectiveness is not weak at all.
Taking advantage of the fact that the defenders were not attacked, Sulla swooped a few arrows and killed the sergeants guarding Muji and Asila. The two of them were free, and ran to Sulla's side. The sergeant next to Sula swung his knife and cut the rope, and the two joined the warband.
The good times did not last long, and Mido's reinforcements arrived and surrounded Sulla's 1,000 men in the center, and the two sides fought fiercely.
Outside the city, when Liu Feng led the army to enter the south gate, he found that the south gate was closed, the city was brightly lit, and there were bursts of shouts and killings.
"The situation is not good, and I really fell for Midona's trick." Liu Feng said to Dalei beside him.
"Mido is scheming, but with Ivan and Sula and a few of them here, there will be chaos in the city, so let's take advantage of the situation to attack the city." Dalei has always been very calm, which is what Liu Feng admires the most.
Looking at the dense poisonous snakes on the city wall, Liu Feng was in trouble, and he had a feeling that a hunting dog was fighting a hedgehog, and he couldn't speak.
"Dare, lead the soldiers to assemble at the east gate, join forces with Kumar, and attack from the east gate." Liu Feng ordered.
"Yes." Dareh said yes loudly.
The two led 3,000 men and horses to the east gate, and Kumar was preparing to attack with another 3,000 soldiers, when he saw Liu Feng coming, Shi Li said: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong in the city, right?" We're preparing to storm the storm, and now it's easier to join forces. ”
Looking at the personnel on the city wall, Liu Feng said, "There are fewer defenders in the city, but if you attack it, it will still be a little painful." ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's time for the secret weapon to come to use." Kumar and Darei smiled at each other and spoke.
After speaking, the two commanded the soldiers and pushed several cars covered with black cloths. When marching before, Liu Feng only regarded it as grain and grass and didn't care. The sergeants opened the black cloth, and Liu Feng looked at it and was startled.
I saw several behemoths, with a body two meters long, a tail more than a meter long, four legs very strong, full of bulges, a bamboo cage on the mouth, and a long tongue with a fork at the end, sticking out of the gap between the cage covers.
There were a few giant lizards, and these guys were very restless and twisted, looking a little crazy.
The sergeants went back and forth to prevent the lizards from escaping, and then ran to the woods, where they picked up a few leafy trees and stuck them firmly on their tails.
At the same time, another group of sergeants took out some wood and began to assemble it, and when it was almost loaded, Liu Feng saw it clearly, it was similar to the catapult he had ordered An Shuo to make, except that the bucket for loading stones was very large.
More than a dozen people worked together to put the lizard and the big tree into the bucket of the catapult, and the lizard was on all fours, feeling very uncomfortable, and the lizard was waving there non-stop.
Ready, the sergeants quickly approached the walled city wall with the lizard-throwing cart.
There was such a big commotion under the city, how could the guards on the city wall not know. Seeing someone approaching, he hurriedly released his arrows. The Southern Han army had been prepared for a long time, holding shields to block arrows, which did not affect the march in the slightest. In less than a moment, it was almost time to get to the position.
The soldiers defending the city have seen catapults, and not long ago, many of their comrades were hit by stones, and many were killed and wounded. Seeing these guys in front of them, some soldiers panicked and hurriedly asked the adjutant general:
"They're going to throw things up, why don't we hide first?"
The lieutenant held up the grass to his stomach, leaned over to observe it carefully, and when he saw what was in the bucket of the catapult, he raised his hand and slapped the soldier who reported the incident, and shouted angrily:
"You know a fart, such a big animal, can shoot so high? Besides, in such a big place, just these few animals can smash so many of us to death? Defend the city well, and don't hide. ”
When the soldiers saw it, they were right, just such a small thing, it was not as good as a stone, what are you afraid of. Even if he was stoned to death, he couldn't die a few, and he wasn't so unlucky. So, the spirit of the strong fight, continue to shoot arrows, and some soldiers are ready to roll wood and thunder stones, ready to attack the enemy soldiers who climb the wall at any time.
At this moment, Kumar gave an order, and the sergeants worked together, and several catapults threw the lizards high, and the lizards suddenly volleyed into the air, panicked, and the four small thick legs pulled everywhere.
The guard was right, it was indeed not easy for this big guy to go up to the wall, but it didn't seem to need to go up on his head. In fact, Liu Feng understood when he saw that they were preparing catapults and big trees. They secretly gave Kumar a thumbs up, which is really amazing wisdom.
Several huge lizards were in the air for fear of being killed, and when they approached the city wall, they hurriedly went deep into their little thick legs and grabbed the city wall. Everyone knows that lizards have suction cups on their feet, and the suction power of such a big guy is also amazing. sucked on the city wall, but it didn't move at all.
The big tree on the lizard's tail has become a siege ladder, and the tree with lush branches was deliberately chosen to prevent the rolling stones and trees, and it is not too afraid to set fire, and it will not burn for a while.
The lizard was afraid of falling down, so it naturally sucked desperately on the city wall, with rough skin and thick flesh, and was greeted by bows, arrows and stones, and it didn't know that it hurt, and it didn't let go.
"Siege!" Liu Feng gave an order, and the sergeants began to climb the tree with a roar. Several large trees, hundreds of people went up at the same time.
At the same time, Kumar commanded another wave of sergeants to release arrows. Arrows from a specially made strong bow rained down on the city walls. This is to create an opportunity for the besieging soldiers, as long as the arrows do not stop, they will not have much effort to control the soldiers who climb the wall.
Kumar divided the archers into three waves, two to prepare and one to shoot the arrows, and so on, to ensure that the arrows did not stop, and that the archers could recover a little.
The defenders of the city were transferred a lot to deal with Sulla and Mr. Ivan, who were already under-armed. The rain of arrows on the top of the head did not stop, and the sergeants were tired of coping, and they were in a hurry, and they didn't put down much of the rolling stone and wood, they were all blocked by the big trees, and they didn't hurt many people.
The Southern Han army scrambled to climb to the highest point, only two meters high from the city wall, erected a dozen short ladders, and then rushed up the city wall under the cover of a rain of arrows. The follow-up troops are still catching up. At this time, the archers also stopped for a while, so as not to be injured by mistake.
