Chapter 099: No Soldiers

The towers are both the headquarters and the backbone of the city defense system, and are often made of large stones and huge trees, which are extremely strong fortresses, but today it seems that they are not safe in this place. The Song army didn't know what weapon was used, saying that it was a bed crossbow and it was much more powerful than it, and saying that it was a stone thrower was much more accurate than that, it was simply a matter of where to fight, and in just a few breaths, the front of the city tower was smashed, and several thick pillars were smashed one after another, cracking a few finger-wide cracks, as if it would break if one more foot was given.

'Poof! ’

......Seeing that he couldn't stay in the city tower, Liang Xiongfei moved out under the escort of his own soldiers, but as soon as he went out, a spear flew out, and the big shield covered with two layers of cowhide was penetrated like a piece of paper, and the spear was inserted into the chest of the shield pro-soldier again, nailing it to the doorpost, fortunately he was not dead, looking at the body of the spear that was still trembling and howling in horror.

"Let's go, go downtown!" Liang Xiongfei tried his best to lower his body and hide behind the shield wall and move towards the city, he realized that there was no safe place in the city, and those battlements made of heavy city bricks could not stop the stone bullets fired by the enemy, not to mention those battle sheds, which had already been smashed down, and now only the back of the city was still safe for the time being.

"Don't escape, go back and release the arrows, you must not let the Song army go to the city." Under the rain of arrows and stone projectiles, Liang Xiongfei moved to the female wall behind the horse road, and felt a little more at ease, but there were less than ten people left in the team of personal soldiers who guarded him, and the rest fell on the road of less than thirty steps. At this time, a group of soldiers also fled to follow the city, and he drew his sword and scolded sharply.

"General, you can't stop it. Run! One soldier said in shock.

"Retreat, slash!" Liang Xiongfei slashed down with a knife, cut off the heads of the forcibly released soldiers, and shouted, and the soldiers went up and cut down a few more people, which frightened the deserters who rushed behind. Bombarded them back into the city, but the people went back, but they all cowered behind the wall and didn't dare to show their heads, let alone fight back.

The stone projectiles that were thrown into the city by 'Bang Bang ......' continued to fall, and even if they didn't hit people, the broken fragments were splashed everywhere, and they could still break people's heads and bleed. The sound of striking a shield is heart-wrenching. Liang Xiongfei felt that this place was not very safe, and wondered if he should hide in the doorway.

"Liang thief, Wang Jun has arrived. Surrender quickly, or you won't be left with a piece of armor! Suddenly, the shooting stopped from the city, but there was shouting.

"Go check it out. Is it going to attack the city? Liang Xiongfei didn't dare to move. Fearing that this was an enemy trick, he ordered one of his own soldiers to go and inspect it.

"General, tens of thousands of horses have been gathered under the city, and the pontoon bridge has been laid, and it seems that it is ready to attack the city." The soldiers were also afraid of death, so he sprinted a few steps and crouched under the battlement to take a look and then report back.

"Order all the people under the city to go up to the city, and prepare to roll the wood and stones, and never let the enemy army go up to the city. Do they really think I, Liang, am easy to deceive? The shouts and curses under the city rose and fell with each other, making Liang Xiongfei soar upward. Said viciously.

"Yes!" The soldiers went down to give the order, Liang Xiongfei stood up and walked two steps towards the city, but he retreated, and after walking to the city tower, he convened the generals to discuss and prepare for an on-site meeting......

After a while, the generals arrived, and saw that the city was full of dead and wounded, blood was everywhere, and the face of the crumbling city tower was not very good-looking, and this was only a period before the two armies met to become like this. Looking at the main general Liang Xiongfei's face was pale, and it was gloomy and it could rain, but everyone also understood that people greeted the eight generations of their ancestors and all the women, but they couldn't talk back, and their mood was naturally not much better, so they were all cautious and didn't dare to raise their voices.

"Mr. Li Qian, how about the loss?" Someone asked the South Gate keeper in a whisper.

"Alas, in this period alone, I have injured more than 200 people, the city walls and war tents have been destroyed, and I don't know what happened below!" Mr. Li Qian sighed and said, "Brother Zhang, you haven't heard of the war over there, and you will have to support it then!" ”

"Alas, I'm not going to be much better, thousands of enemy troops have gathered outside the east gate, and they are also reorganizing equipment, and I am afraid that I will attack the city, and I don't know if I can hold it." The East Gate guard's face was not very good, and he sighed.

"Alas!" The two of them suddenly heard someone sighing heavily, and asked urgently, "Mr. Sun Qian, aren't you still calm there?" ”

"Don't mention it, it's not good on my side, those thousand salt people not only helped the enemy to capture Wing City, but also colluded with the accomplices in the city to attack the city gate, but fortunately, I sent troops to kill them long ago. But there is a strong enemy outside, and there is no quiet inside, and I don't know how long I can hold it. The Ximen guard also said helplessly, "I don't know which army is coming, and so many people have gathered?" There were hundreds of warships and tens of thousands of soldiers alone. ”

"Yes, I've been here for so long, and I haven't heard of any powerful people who can gather thousands of people!" Mr. Zhang Qian was also puzzled.

"In my opinion, it's not the local heroes at all, but the Yiwang army, the soldiers and horses under the city are well-organized, and the advance and retreat are well-founded, not like a rabble composed of those rural villagers." Zhang Qian said in a low voice.

"I think too, you see that there are three big ships moored in the sea, like royal boats." Mr. Li Qian nodded in agreement.

"Huh?! So it is said that it is the royal driving pro-conquest, and they are determined to win it in Guangzhou! Mr. Sun Qian's face changed drastically.

"Well, although the imperial court has been defeated repeatedly, there are still 300,000 soldiers in its hands, and if we attack the city with all our might, how can we stop it." Zhang Qian's face was already dead, and he glanced at Liang Xiongfeidao.

"Yes, those Tanma Red Army show off their strength on weekdays, thinking that they are invincible in the world, and they are not killed in a daze." Mr. Li Qian shook his head and sighed.

"Now there are rumors in the city that there is a master over there, who has the ability to move mountains and seas, and it is he who summoned meteors to fall into the camp and stone them all to death. And it has the virtue of a good life, and it can't bear to hurt the people in the city, so it temporarily keeps the city, if it goes on like this, we are afraid that it will be difficult to escape. Mr. Sun Qian said mysteriously.

"Brothers, a certain navy is a hundred households Pei Jing is also, now anyway, he has returned to the imperial court, he has been named a commander, and the bounty is ...... thousand taels" The three of them were whispering, and suddenly heard that the city was quiet for a while, but someone shouted the city.

"It must be this guy who opened the water pass to let the enemy in, so that our city was surrounded, and the Sprinkler family will shoot him to death!" Li Qian always became angry when he heard this, and said hatefully.

"Brother Li, slow down, listen to what he has to say!" Mr. Zhang Qian grabbed him and said.

"Brothers, the Tartars have already run away, don't die for them. Tens of thousands of generals of the imperial court came to take the city, you can't stop it, Your Highness has an edict: Those who donate the city are not to blame, and the reward is 1,000 taels; Those who kill the Liang thief will be promoted to the knight and added to the official, with a bounty of 2,000 taels; Those who resist will be killed in the city without forgiveness, their property will be confiscated, and their dependents will be ......"

"Shoot the arrow, release the arrow...... Kill this traitor! Liang Xiongfei didn't wait for Pei Jing to finish shouting, and ordered loudly.

"Are you going to disobey?" After shouting for a long time but no one moved, those soldiers and generals looked at him with strange eyes, Liang Xiongfei suddenly felt a chill in his neck, and shouted with the hilt of his knife in his hand. In my heart, I secretly scolded this bullshit His Royal Highness is really enough to damage, the city donor will have a reward of 1,000 taels, and kill himself but become a knight and be promoted, and a reward of 2,000 taels. Compared with Xiancheng, killing yourself must be a low risk and a high return!

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" Thinking that Liang Xiongfei Yu Wei was still there, Li Qian hesitated and ordered his soldiers to release arrows, while the others sat down again stupidly.

"General, the general is not good!" As soon as this side subsided, another person ran up to the city panting and shouted.

"What's wrong? The enemy has attacked the northern city! Liang Xiongfei knew that the person who came was a centurion guarding the gate, and he asked anxiously.

"General, no...... No. It was the prefect of Zhao who wanted to open the city gate and go to Yingde to take office, Huang Qian always refused, and the two argued, and he ordered his subordinates to forcibly rush to the pass, and the fight had already started, and Mr. Qian asked his subordinates to ask the general to go quickly! "The hundred households finally let everyone understand what is going on.

"This guy won't go to work sooner or later, but the enemy army is besieging the city, and he wants to go out of the city, isn't he going to repeat his old tricks and open the city to join the enemy!" Zhang Qian said angrily. At the beginning, Zhao Ruogang, the county governor of Panyu, secretly opened the city gate to dedicate the city, and was named the prefect of Yingde after rebelling against the Song Dynasty and surrendering to the enemy, but he disliked that it was not as prosperous as Guangzhou, so he stayed in Guangzhou and did not go to his post for a long time. But now that he is in the north of the Yuan army, he has to force himself out of the city when the Song army is besieging the city, how can he not make people suspect that he has bad intentions.

"Is there an enemy army outside the city?" Liang Xiongfei raised his hand to silence everyone and asked the hundred households.

"General, no enemy brigade has been found, only a squad of scouts are waiting to explore the city!" Hundred households said.

"It's fine!" Liang Xiongfei said after hearing this, turned around and was about to go down to the city.

"General, general......" Seeing that he was about to leave after saying such an inexplicable word, everyone shouted hurriedly.

"Oh, you each hold the city, I'll go and deal with it!" Liang Xiongfei seemed to remember that there were still people in the city waiting for his order, so he turned his face and said, so he took a team of personal soldiers down to the city to fight horses.

"He doesn't want to abandon the city and flee, does he?" Zhang Qian looked at Liang Xiongfei's back as he gradually moved away, and said suspiciously.

"Damn, it's not much better, you want us to be substitutes for the dead!" Sun Qian said angrily.

"Father and mother get married, we must also plan early, so as not to get a void!" Mr. Li Qian said with a sneer, then turned his head and left......

At this moment, the Song army, which failed to persuade to surrender, launched an attack again, and the soldiers of the navy army also got off the boat to participate in the siege. For a time, people were surging, war drums were ringing in unison, arrows were raining down, and the terrifying ballistas were fired again, and the east, south, and west gates were engaged almost simultaneously. The battle at the South Gate was the tightest, not long after the battle, hundreds of casualties had been lost, and Ding Zhuang, who assisted in defending the city, couldn't stand it at first, and jumped out of the city one after another, and the troops were immediately tight. The Song army took the opportunity to rush to the city and began to break down the door, and the sound of the door spine 'knocking' was terrifying.

"Liang Cheng has escaped from the north city!"

"Flee, the heavenly soldiers have entered the city!"

At this critical moment, there was a sudden chaos in the city, countless people rushed to the north gate, and the soldiers defending the city suddenly panicked, they knew that as soon as the city was broken, they would lose the last barrier, and they could not stop the army outside. And the officials have all run away, and they are still stupid and waiting for death...... (To be continued.) )
