"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Outside the south gate of Kunyang, among the countless rebels who used the long ladder to climb up the city gate tower, there were about a dozen or twenty rebel soldiers, operating a full rushing car, pushing the thick crashing log, and slamming it into the heavy city gate again and again.
At this time, on the inside of these two city gates, inside the city gate hole, Liu Tu took more than 20 black tiger thieves, looking at the city gate in front of him with a serious and solemn expression, watching it tremble again and again under the impact of the rebels outside the city.
"Boss, such a thick city gate won't be knocked open by the rebels, right?"
A black tiger thief asked Liu Tu with some trepidation.
"How do I know?"
Liu Tu replied angrily.
Indeed, he is not a county guard who serves in the city gate post, how can he know how long the two city gates in front of him can last?
However, from his personal point of view, the city gate of the county seat is still quite thick, and the door panel is about half a palm thick, which makes the two city gates extremely heavy, and the county guards who were responsible for opening and closing the city gates in the past need to exert a lot of strength.
And now, there is a deadbolt behind the door, which is thicker than an adult's fist.
γβ¦β¦ I don't think I'm going to get broken, right?'
Liu Tu narrowed his eyes slightly and thought secretly.
However, at this moment, with the 'bang' of the rebels outside the city, only to hear a click, the sound of something breaking suddenly came from the city gate in front of him.
Liu Tu was startled, and hurriedly took a closer look, only to find that the wooden pivot of the door frame was cracked.
"Hey, Hey, Hey......"
Rao is Liu Tu, and he can't help but feel a little numb when he sees this.
After all, even if he didn't study, he knew the consequences of the city gate being broken.
He immediately grabbed the shoulders of a black tiger thief and said urgently: "Quick, immediately tell the big leader, just say that the city gate can't hold out for a long time, let the big leader think of a way." β
"Yes!"
The black tiger thief ran up the city wall, came to Zhao Yu, and said eagerly: "Big leader, the rebels are crashing into the city gate, boss...... No, Benme thinks that the gate will not last long, so he asks the chief to think about what to do. β
"Less, the leader ......"
When Jingnu didn't have time to stop her, Zhao Yu approached the wall battlement and leaned in to take a look at the city.
Fortunately, at this time, Niu Heng was not far away with several Nanyang soldiers to resist the rebels who climbed up from the long ladder, and when he heard Jingnu's voice, he turned his head and saw that Zhao Yu actually leaned out to look outside the city, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly ran to Zhao Yu's side in a few steps, and blocked Zhao Yu tightly with the shield that did not leave him.
"Ah Hu, what are you doing?! It's full of stray arrows...... Stand back! β
Niu Heng rarely blamed, his expression extremely serious.
"Good, good."
Zhao Yu listened to the persuasion and retreated, and immediately said to the black tiger thief who came to pray: "You go and tell Liu Tu to ask him to recruit people nearby and block the city gate hole with soil...... Go ahead. β
"Yes!"
The black tiger thief clenched his fists and left, and after returning to Liu Tu's side, he relayed Zhao Yu's original words to the latter.
"Okay, I got it."
Liu Tu nodded, turned around and walked out of the city gate, and shouted to several brotherhood members not far away: "Brother over there, the rebels are banging on the door, I am the leader of the city gate, and I am in urgent need of manpower, you quickly notify some people ......to come over."
Not far away, several members of the Brotherhood were supporting a seriously injured Nanyang sergeant to lie down on a bamboo stretcher, and were about to carry the stretcher to transport the wounded to the 'wounded soldiers' in the city for treatment, when they suddenly heard Liu Tu shouting at them, mentioning the 'city gate', which frightened the faces of those people pale, after all, they also understood the result of the city gate being knocked open.
One of them hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go right away." β
With that, the men hurried away carrying the wounded on stretchers.
Seeing this, Liu Tu walked back to the city gate cave quickly, and said to his subordinates: "I have sent someone to call someone......
Before the words fell, the car outside the city slammed into the city gate again, causing the city gate to tremble for a while.
Seeing this, Liu Tu rolled up his sleeves and beckoned his subordinates: "Brothers, before reinforcements arrive, let's block them first." β
With that, he leaned sideways and pressed his arm against the gate.
When the two dozen or so black tiger thieves saw it, they followed suit, squeezing one by one, and pressed it on the inside of the city gate.
Suddenly, I only heard a bang outside the city, and immediately, the city gate in front of me trembled violently, and Liu Tu and the others behind these two city gates only felt a huge force spread to them along their arms, shaking them dizzy, and even faintly disgusting.
"Hold on!"
Liu Tu shouted loudly.
"Bang!"
One of the Black Tiger Thieves thought it would be more effective to put his back against the gate, but when he heard the loud thud, he felt his head roar, and a mouthful of blood poured down his throat and down the corner of his mouth.
He didn't know what was going on, and he bit and held on until the second time there was a huge force behind him, and he only felt a black in front of him, and with a pop, he fell to the ground.
"Ah Liang?"
A black tiger thief nearby was startled, and hurriedly squatted down, reached out to probe the companion's snort, and was relieved to see that the other party still had snort.
"Drag him inside!"
Glimpsing this scene, Liu Tu ordered with a little annoyance, and at the same time secretly made a decision, after this time, he must 'practice' this subordinate named Ah Liang well, and he fainted after only two blocks, and there was no luck!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The rebels outside the city kept hitting the city gate with rushing cars, and Liu Tu and others were desperately fighting on the inside of the city gate, hitting violently again and again, shaking Liu Tu and the others in a daze, and even one of the black tiger thieves vomited breakfast on the spot.
Just as they were struggling to support, Ma Hong led a group of brotherhood members to catch up and greeted Liu Tu and the others from afar.
In view of the fact that he had learned the cause and effect, Ma Hong did not say much about it, and commanded hundreds of members of the Brotherhood on the spot to dig earth on both sides of the city gate, and then loaded the baskets and unloaded them into the city gate hole.
I have to say that the movements of the more than 100 members of the brotherhood are still very neat, and after a while, a one-person high 'earth mountain' was piled up in the city gate hole, and it was tightly cultivated with a rake.
At this time, Ma Hong half-jokingly greeted Liu Tu and the others: "Quick, Liu Tu, come here, I'll fill in your head when it's too late." β
Liu Tu scolded with a smile, and quickly withdrew with more than 20 brothers under his command and climbed back to the city from 'Tushan'.
After these people withdrew, the city gate of the Brotherhood continued to move and fill in the earth, apparently preparing to fulfill Zhao Yu's order to completely block the city gate hole.
And at this moment, after a loud bang, two city gates collapsed.
"The gates of the city slammed open! City Gate ......"
There was a burst of cheers from the rebels outside the city gates, and then the cheers came to an abrupt end.
For what they saw was not a hole in the gate for them to pass through, but a pile of earth that was tightly blocked.
"Report it."
Seeing this, he frowned and said to a soldier beside him: "We have already crashed open the south city gate, but the Kunyang people blocked the city gate hole with soil in advance......
"Yes!" The soldier departed.
A moment later, the news reached the ears of the rebel general Ju Sheng, who sent someone to tell Liu De, and Liu De sent someone to tell Guan Shuo.
Half an hour later, Guan Shuo, who was in the formation, learned about it.
He was not shocked or angry about this, after all, using soil to block the hole in the city gate has always been an effective means for the city defenders.
"It's good that the people in the city will come out again......
Thinking like this, Guan Shuo glanced up at the sky.
Although it was still early in the morning, they still had plenty of time to attack the city in front of them, but the fierce resistance of Kunyang County and the advice of the general Liu De had forced him to give up his plan to conquer Kunyang that day - it was not necessarily impossible, the key was that the loss was too great, which would seriously affect the next attack on Ye County.
After all, compared to Kunyang, Ye County is the key to 'sneaking behind the Nanyang General Wang Shangde', and Guan Shuo doesn't want to lose too many soldiers in Kunyang County, resulting in the inability to capture Ye County.
Since it can't be conquered in one day, then it is necessary to think carefully about how to 'besiege Kunyang', cut off Kunyang County's connection with the outside world, and turn it into an isolated city."
It is also a good idea to force the other party to block the city gate and cut off the road to the outside of the city.
Thinking of this, Guan Shuo ordered to the left and right: "Order Xu Bao and Huang Kang, and order them to also step up their impact on the city gate, forcing Kunyang to seal the city gate hole with soil and cut off the way out of the city." β
"Yes!" The left and right immediately went to give the order.
About a moment later, Zhao Yu, who was in the South City Gate Tower, received news from Wang Qing and Ma Gai, both of which were quite consistent, indicating that the rebels had vigorously stormed the city gate, so they had no choice but to seal the city gate with soil.
"Is it a coincidence? Or is it the rebels who are deliberately trying to cut us off our way out of the city?'
Zhao Yu frowned slightly and glanced at the rebel formation outside the city, and keenly guessed Guan Shuo's intentions.
Can't go out of the city, it's really a big deal in the attack and defense of the city, after all, the soldiers and civilians in the city need firewood to boil water and cook, and the consumption of a day is quite amazing, even if Zhao Yu ordered the members of the Brotherhood to store some wood in advance, but it can't supply the whole city for long.
Of course, from Zhao Yu's standpoint, he didn't think that sealing the city gate hole would cut off the passage out of the city, as long as there was a demand, he naturally had other ways - it didn't mean to go out of the city from the north city gate, in the case that the other three city gates had been sealed, leaving only one north city gate, it was extremely dangerous to go out of the city from the north city gate.
Zhao Yu didn't want to underestimate the rebels on the other side.
He wondered if he could reverse the calculation of the rebels on this point.
But after thinking about it, Zhao Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After all, even if he wanted to calculate the plan and use Guan Shuo to target him Kunyang's 'lack of firewood' and calculate Guan Shuo in turn, then at least he had to wait for Guan Shuo to subjectively 'understand' this, and a city would fall into the embarrassment of lack of firewood on the day it was besieged? It's unlikely.
"Report!"
A Nanyang soldier hurriedly rushed to Zhao Yu, clenched his fists and said, "Leader Zhou, Chen ...... Chen, uh, General Chen reminded the leader of Zhou that the rebels had sent a group of weak soldiers to attack the city, and they also deliberately slowed down the offensive, and they didn't know what the conspiracy was. β
"What kind of conspiracy can there be?" It's nothing more than trying to consume the Nanyang Army."
Glancing at the rebel army outside the city, Zhao Yu secretly sneered, nodded and said, "Okay, please tell him, so that he doesn't have to worry." β
"Yes!"
As the Nanyang soldier left in a hurry, Zhao Yu frowned and looked at the rebels outside the city.
Obviously, the rebels on the opposite side wanted to drag him down Kunyang, so they deliberately slowed down the offensive, should they cooperate with him?
"Delay it as much as you can, and see if Ye County will make any moves."
Zhao Yu thought secretly.
