Chapter 85: Hard Stubble
Liu Feng took steps here, throwing stones on the city wall in turn one by one, which was quite effective at the beginning. But after more than a dozen rounds, the defenders of Van Rava City also felt the law, as long as the place was hidden, don't let the stones be smashed, there was no other danger, after all, there were thirty big stones at a time, as long as they didn't panic, the threat didn't seem to be so big.
At this moment, Liu Feng waved his arm, and the special fire bombs made by the sergeants yesterday appeared. Firewood and grass are poured with oil, wrapped in stones, torches are lit, and then fired.
Thirty large fireballs were sent out, taking advantage of the wind to burn more and more, and swirled and smashed into the city wall. There was firewood and grass on the city wall that the soldiers of Van Rava used to deal with Liu Feng and their firewood, which burned a little bit, and suddenly the city wall fell into a sea of fire. The sergeants who were hiding in the shadows finally suffered this time and hurriedly fled from the fire.
There were too many people who wanted to escape, and they squeezed Lu Shengsheng, crying, scolding their mothers, rolling on the spot, falling to the ground with stones, and the crackling sound of burning wood and oil, plus the bursts of black smoke from burning people, clothes, and firewood, and the city wall was in chaos.
General Mido also panicked at this moment, fled down the city wall in three or two steps, and organized an army a little further under the city wall to prepare to fight the fire.
This is the time. Liu Feng commanded the sergeant, picked up the ladder and rushed to the car, slammed the door, climbed the wall, and prepared to come to him.
The catapults outside the city did not stop, and continued to throw stones and fireballs repeatedly, acting as long-range artillery cover. The defenses on the city walls were empty, and many soldiers took the opportunity to kill the city, and if the city gates could be opened, it would be done.
Liu Feng and Mitabu came to the city in person, and the soldiers who were beating the trumpet saw that the siege was promising, and they became more and more energetic, and the sound of drums and horns shook the sky. Commanding the city chariot to violently attack the city gate, there was a burst of muffled sounds, and every time it hit, the city gate shook slightly. However, the facts gave Liu Feng and Mitabu a head-on blow, and the soldiers who climbed the city tower fell to the ground one after another in the rain of arrows.
It seems that this bounty and title are easy to earn, and it is not easy to save your life.
It is difficult to ride a tiger, so you can only strictly order the army, "Those who retreat will not be forgiven!" Mitab shouted loudly as he directed the storming vehicles to intensify their attacks.
Obviously, the back of the city gate has been filled with sand and gravel, and the repeated impact can only make the city gate shake a few times.
"Let the soldiers suspend the siege, and the catapults will move forward five hundred meters and continue to fire." Liu Feng had to make a decision. Walk 500 meters, exposed to the bows and arrows of the soldiers of the city walls, but the benefits are obvious, you can attack the Tanesha soldiers who are hiding in the city.
Bursts of wails were heard in the city, and many houses were set on fire by firebombs, and the houses of ordinary people in the city were inevitably injured by mistake. In a hurry, there is really no way to do it. Bursts of smoke rose from the city, mixed with all kinds of scorching smells, and they cast a black veil on Liu Feng's already unhappy mood.
"Hard stubble." Liu Feng meditated in his heart. Looking back, the guard Mi Duo stood under the city tower, silently looking at Liu Feng and his gang under the city, calm and calm, which made people feel cold.
After fighting for another hour, seeing that there was little effect, Mitabu and several other generals were a little helpless, "Marshal, it seems that this strong attack method is hopeless to break through the city." What should be fought, what can be burned, and it is almost burned, but it still can't solve the fundamental problem. ”
How could Liu Feng not know this, racking his brains, and thinking of various methods of siege warfare before.
Siege and starve them to death? Obviously not, this is the granary, but I am afraid that after ten days and a half months, my side will starve to death first.
Divert water to flood the city? In this great plain, more than ten miles outside the city, there is not even a small river ditch, where does the water come from?
Inside and outside? Mu Ji and dozens of them have only been in the city for less than two days, as Zhao Yun said, the role is limited.
Liu Feng shook his head while thinking, it seemed that there was only one way to go, a frontal feint, a strong attack during the day, and a deliberate flaw at night, to see if this guy Mi Duo dared to go out of the city to fight.
Thinking of this, Liu Feng ordered the catapult to withdraw an arrow away, to a safe place, and not to throw stones. After all, many stones are piled up on the city wall, and they are all enemies, and when the time comes, if you want to attack the city, these stones will fall on the heads of your own people.
Mitab took his shield and shouted under the city, "Mido, your turtle shell is well repaired, and you plan to stay in it for the rest of your life?" Do you dare to come out and share the victory with me? ”
The sergeants cooperated with Mitab and let out bursts of laughter. Mitab's tongue is cheap and takes advantage of it:
"As long as you dare to come out, I only use one hand, what do you think?"
Seeing that the other party had no reaction, Mitab shook his head and sighed deliberately exaggeratedly, "Alas, since you can't beat it with one hand, then I can understand it, so continue to be a turtle." ”
"Why don't you do a dance, brothers? Singing and dancing, abusing you with one hand? If you don't even dare to do this, you might as well go home and farm! ”
Saying that, he jumped off the horse, twisted his big ass, and really sang and danced. The sergeants were also quite cooperative, and the big drums and horns were in unison, full of rhythm. The Shimiro team shouted in unison, and many people writhed around after Mitab's exaggerated oxen.
The faces of the defenders on the city wall were a little unbearable, and all kinds of insults could be endured, but this song and dance came and went, it was too deceitful.
From a distance, Liu Feng saw a general in the city tower telling Mi Duo about this, waving his hands and feet excitedly, looking like he wanted to go out of the city to face the battle. Liu Feng secretly clenched the Mo knife in his hand, ready to wait for them to come out and attack head-on.
However, the result disappointed Liu Feng again, and it didn't take long for the excited general to stomp his feet and retreat, obviously Mi Duo didn't promise him.
On Mitab's side, he had sung enough songs and danced, so he had to replace with other soldiers and continue to scratch his head and humiliate the soldiers defending the city. But Liu Feng and Mitabu knew very well in their hearts that this trick would be difficult to work again.
Seeing that it was not early, Liu Feng and Mitabu ordered the soldiers to retreat lazily. The sergeants were disheveled, their flags dragged haphazardly on the ground, and they looked dejected and cowardly.
Mi Duo, who was guarding the city, and his soldiers had been in the trap for a day, and Liu Feng had a strong premonition in his heart that this guy would definitely come out to attack at night, and now he deliberately gave them a false impression, hoping to lure the snake out of the hole.
When he arrived at the barracks, Liu Feng instructed the sergeants to immediately bury the pot and cook rice, deliberately making the cooking smoke curling and eating lively.
After dinner, leave a few soldiers patrolling the camp and let the others rest immediately. The sergeants were tired from a day's work, and they were snoring in the tents.
Liu Feng and Mitabu both knew that this time was the safest time, the Shimiluo army was tired, Liu Feng knew, and Mi Duo knew even more. If you want to steal camp, tonight is the best time.
Almost on the third watch, Liu Feng and Mitabu woke up the soldiers, each of them led a team, ambushed in the forest not far from both sides of the barracks, and sent scouts to keep an eye on the city gate.
