Chapter 380: Attacking the City and Being Attacked

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.

No matter what worries Gong Kuang has in his heart, but now that he doesn't come, he will come, and if he doesn't plunder the North Sea, he really can't say it.

Now these leaders of the Yellow Turban Department are not aware of what the problem will be, and they are all thinking about how to take advantage of it.

But Gong Kuang didn't pay attention to these cheapnesses, because he was already determined to integrate the leaders of these Yellow Turban tribes after returning to the mountain. Therefore, even if they take advantage of it now, they will end up in their own hands.

In the end, those Yellow Turban tribesmen chose to attack Beihai City, and they all planned to directly enter the city first and seize more money and food first.

The camp of the Liu Mansion caravan outside the city is estimated to have a lot of goods, but how can there be more rich families in the city?

And after Gong Kuang said this, they were also a little worried that the people of the Liu Mansion caravan would be a little difficult to handle, and they might encounter fierce resistance. They are not going to gnaw hard bones, but it is better to deal with ordinary government officers and soldiers.

Therefore, those Yellow Turban tribesmen chose to attack Beihai City.

There was still some time before the attack, that is, an hour or so. After most of the day and most of the night's march, the sergeants were indeed a little tired, so they let their sergeants rest for an hour before immediately launching an attack on Beihai City.

Of course, this is a siege after all, and they still let people make some simple siege tools, which is to beware of the fact that the official defenders of Beihai City want to rely on the fortified city to defend and prevent them from entering the city, they still have a little siege means, so as not to look at the city wall helplessly.

Perhaps, the officers and soldiers of the government in Beihai City will be crushed with a single blow, but they must also have a chance to attack those officers and soldiers. If they didn't have even the slightest siege engine, they wouldn't have been able to climb the high walls with their bare hands. At the very least, it could not create an effective threat of oppression to the officers and soldiers of Beihai City.

Gong Kuang asked the Yellow Turban Leaders to prepare separately, but he was whispering to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu is his dog-headed military advisor, but it would be a lie to say how much talent Bai Yu has. But he can at least read a few more words, and he usually likes to think about things, and the most important thing is that he is indeed cautious by nature. Gong Kuang usually listens to his opinions, which does allow him to avoid many crises.

"Leader Gong, do you think that everything seems to be too smooth for us to go out of the mountains to loot this time. So, now that you have killed Beihai City, you seem to be a little worried? Bai Yu saw Gong Kuang's stern face, and he already knew that Gong Kuang was a little worried in his heart.

"No, it's not that I'm worried about the Beihai Mansion, but I'm worried about the Liu Mansion caravan." Xi Kuang shook his head and said, "Mr. Bai, have you thought about it?" The Liu Mansion caravan is now famous, having defeated our Yellow Turban army, and they have traveled north and south, and with a certain amount of strength, they will definitely not allow us to plunder their goods. Therefore, we have to be mentally prepared to prepare for a vicious battle. ”

"Well, what Leader Gong said is extremely true, the combat power of our Yellow Turban Army...... It's really worrying, fortunately there is a big leader, otherwise, the result is unpredictable. Anyway, we are careful ourselves. Once we find that something is wrong, we can retreat at any time outside the city. As for those guys who went to attack Beihai City, hehe, I hope everything goes well. ”

Bai Yu felt from the beginning that it was probably not so simple to attack a county town, but the county town he attacked earlier confirmed the incompetence of the officials and soldiers, and he was not good at pouring cold water on everyone at this time, so as not to cause them to blame and despise him.

"Yes, you do have to be prepared. At least even if there is an accident, we can deal with it calmly. Gong Kuang thought so, thought about it, and immediately went to lecture his men and horses, and adjust his people.

Soon, an hour passed.

According to the agreement, the centaurs who attacked Beihai City would be one step ahead. Half an hour later, they would attack Beihai City first.

The camp of the Liu Mansion caravan was in the northwest corner of Beihai City, about two miles away from the city.

The other Yellow Turbans took the lead, and Gong Kuangcai led his more than 10,000 people to set off.

After Gong Kuang's adjustment, he concentrated about 2,000 of his more elite Yellow Turban soldiers as the vanguard force, and first killed the camp of the Liu Fu caravan in the northwest corner of Beihai City. If there is no accident, he can smoothly attack the camp of the Liu Fu caravan, and in case of a situation, behind his two thousand men and horses, there are still 10,000 people and horses as a response.

The darkness before dawn is not visible.

At the head of the city, a torch was lit from a long distance, and it looked quiet, no different from the usual city.

But in fact, Zheng Qing had already transferred 1,000 of the only 2,000 officers and soldiers in Beihai City to the southern city wall of Beihai City.

He estimated that according to the direction in which the Yellow Turban Army appeared, if they were to attack Beihai City, they would definitely reach the south gate of the city first.

The 1,000 men and horses sat on the ground at the head of the city, and the officers and soldiers rested against the wall battlements or back to back.

At the foot of the wall within the city wall, there are also about 2,000 men and horses, they are the reserve army of Beihai City, they are also resting in place, once they find the enemy's situation, they will listen to the order, they can rush to the city head at any time, and assist the officers and soldiers on the city head to defend the city.

In addition to these two thousand men and horses, there are also three thousand men and horses in the barracks not far away, and they can all be transferred to the city at any time to assist in defending the city.

Zheng Liang is a descendant of Zheng Qing's Zheng family, following Zheng Qing to join the army, and he is also sent by the Zheng family to protect Zheng Qing.

At this time, he hid behind a battlement in front of the city gate tower, and had been quietly looking into the distance outside the city.

Suddenly, he noticed that in the darkness in the distance, some shadows faintly appeared.

It was too dark to see clearly, but Zheng Liang was in good spirits, he knew that the shadows that came out of the darkness must be those Yellow Turban thieves.

It's so cunning that he didn't even light a torch, so he came directly in the dark. If it weren't for staring without blinking, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been found even if they were killed under the city walls.

Zheng Liang breathed shortly, looked at it seriously, and made sure that there were indeed many figures in the darkness, he hurriedly took a cat, and then slowly retreated, and after retreating a few steps, he turned around and ran towards the city gate tower.

"General Zheng, here, the Yellow Turban Army is really here."

Zheng Qing was stumbling at the desk, and sat up when he heard this.

"Really here? How many centaurs came? ”

"It's too dark outside to see clearly, but there will definitely be a lot of people."

"Good! Finally came, and the order was sent down, so that all of us were ready to defend the city, but none of them were allowed to take the lead. The Yellow Turban Thieves thought they could attack our city, but they wouldn't have thought that we had been waiting for them here for a long time. Let them go to the city wall, and when they are ready to attack the city, they will listen to the orders of the general, and immediately attack the people under the city with the rolling stones and skulls we have prepared. This time, they were told to lose their troops if they failed to sneak attack. ”

Zheng Qing said with some excitement on his face.

Zheng Qing was born in a scholarly family, but he was determined to join the army, hoping to fight on the battlefield and make contributions. However, there are really not many opportunities for him to actually go to the battlefield. made him feel that he was full of talent, but there was nowhere to show it.

This time the Yellow Turban Army came to attack, which was exactly what he wanted, and as the supreme commander of the officers and soldiers of a county, this was also his first time in the real sense of the unified army, so he seemed a little excited.

If it weren't for the intelligence, the strength of the attacking Yellow Turban Thief Army was indeed too much, otherwise, he would have wanted to lead the army out of the city, set up a formation outside the city, and fight with the Yellow Turban Thief Army who came to fight in a dignified manner.

He grabbed his simple knife, and together with Zheng Liang, he went to the city gate, stood behind the battlements, and looked outside.

By this time, the Yellow Turban Thieves had advanced hundreds of paces below the city walls.

It seems that they really think that they are very secretive, and plan to capture Beihai City quietly, but they are almost under the city wall, and they have not yet lit the torches.

There are really a lot of thieves who touch it, and it's black.

It wasn't that they didn't make any movement because they came in the dark, and from time to time there would be one or two falls, but it was clear that they were all suppressed, and there was no louder noise.

At this time, thousands of officers and soldiers on the head of the city were also quietly woken up and prepared.

These officers and soldiers, all of them were agile and well-trained, and when they learned that the thief army was coming, they did not have too many panicked expressions, but acted silently. From this, it can be seen that there are indeed many differences between the officers and soldiers of Beihai City and the officers and soldiers of the ordinary county below, which may be because of Zheng Qing's relationship.

This may be a soldier who will be a nest of bears. Zheng Qing has the strength and a certain ability, so he can command these officers and soldiers well.

Soon, the thieves were really getting under the walls.

There is no moat outside this Beihai City, so they can easily touch the city wall.

The city walls of Beihai City are indeed taller and stronger than ordinary county seats, but this is also limited, and the height is actually more than ten meters high, just like the height of the three- and four-story buildings in later generations.

At such a height, if it is a frontal attack, it is not so easy to attack.

But now these thieves want to sneak attack, they sneaked in from the darkness, and they never found any movement in the city, so they thought that the officers and soldiers of Beihai City really had no preparation.

They also believed that as soon as they attacked, the officers and soldiers defending the city would definitely be frightened and flee.

Among the Yellow Turban thieves, they naturally also prepared some siege ladders, and some people carried bundles of ropes.

When they came to the city wall, they were in a hurry to capture Beihai City as soon as possible, so they directly set up a cloud ladder on the top of the city, and at the same time, they also flew up the hook and hung it on the head of the city.

When the ladder is erected and the hook hooks the city, the Yellow Turban thieves climb up the ladder or rope.

The thieves who were the first to climb up the ladder looked excited, and always felt that victory was in sight, thinking that as long as they climbed up to the top of the city and killed those ignorant officers and soldiers on the head of the city, then Beihai City would be theirs. The women, money and food in Beihai City are all theirs.

Just when it looked like it was about to climb to the top of the city.

Suddenly, an order came from the city.

"Brethren! It's time to kill the thief, kill! ”

Coax and coax!

On the top of the city, countless torches were lit almost at the same time, and in an instant, the light of the torches reflected the city and the city and the city clearly.

Then, the officers and soldiers who had already seen the situation on the outer wall of the city wall clearly, they shouted in unison, picked up the rolling stones and logs that had been piled up on the head of the city, and smashed them down on the heads of the thieves.

This sudden change was fatal for the Yellow Turban Army who intended to attack Beihai City.

At this time, those Yellow Turban thieves who were full of excitement and thought that they would soon be able to climb to the top of the city, they were really completely stunned and shocked them to death.

Even, they stared, not knowing what to react for a while, they could only watch the big rock fall on their heads.

Bumper Bumper!

The rolling stone slammed down on the bodies of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and the hard object slammed into the flesh and blood, causing a clashing sound.

"Ahh

"Not good! The officers and men are ready! ”

"Ah......h

The screams suddenly tore through the silence of the darkness before dawn, and the terrible screams also woke up Beihai City at once.

"Kill the thief, kill the thief! Smash me! Shoot the arrows, release the arrows! ”

The officers and soldiers at the head of the city quickly threw heavy objects outside the city wall at this time, whether it was rolling stones, sasswood, or others, they smashed down as fast as they could.
