Chapter 18: The Battle of the Siege of Donglai City{1}

On this morning, Shichiro Zhang Lihong was patrolling near the fork of the official road with about 20 brothers!

It is about thirty miles away from Donglai City, and it is the only way for the bandit army to attack Donglai City! It's the rainy season every year, and last night's heavy rain caused water to accumulate on the official road, and the road surface was a little muddy!

Zhang Lihong suddenly jumped off the horse and fell on the grass suddenly! He put his ear directly to the ground and listened! The twenty or so soldiers also realized that there was a situation, and they all immediately tightened their horse ropes and became nervously on guard!

Zhang Lihong stood up and rode directly on the horse again! He had a solemn expression on his face and squinted into the woods in the distance! The soldiers, a little strange, followed him into the woods!

The woods were about two or three miles away, and a large flock of birds was flying from the trees! Then everyone saw a herd of deer running out as if frightened, and then a group of cavalry in different armor ran out of the woods!

"It's a bandit! Come on! "Zhang Lihong hit the horse and turned around and ran." There are hundreds of bandits, and we can't deal with them for the time being! Let's go and smoke first! ”

Zhang Lihong and his party ran out for six or seven miles, and a mound mountain of dozens of zhang appeared in front of them! There is a beacon tower on the top of the mountain, which Su Shang specially asked to build! There are not many garrisons in the beacon tower, only five people!

Zhang Lihong ran up to the beacon tower and shouted loudly: "Hurry up the beacon!" Light the three-pillar beacon fire! ”

At this time, hundreds of bandit cavalry had already appeared in the distance. They were divided into ten teams and slaughtered in the direction of the beacon tower! This is the vanguard scout of the bandits, responsible for clearing the sentinels and beacons along the way!

Zhang Lihong looked at the cavalry running in the distance, turned his head and found that the brothers stationed in the beacon tower had already lit the beacon fire, so he waved his hand, "All follow me!" Let's retreat to Donglai City first! ”

More than 20 cavalrymen immediately urged their horses and galloped towards Donglai City! On the beacon tower, the three-pillar wolf smoke is slowly rising, informing Donglai City of the news of the arrival of the bandit army!

……

As the news of the imminent arrival of the bandit army broke, the clouds of the great battle hung over Donglai City! In the past four or five days, the scouts of the Allied army have discovered small bandits one after another! These bandit armies range from five to ten people, and they are bandit troops who have been scattered!

The preparations for Donglai City are proceeding in an orderly manner! The reinforcement and renovation of the city walls of Donglai City was completed shortly after the Allied troops were stationed! These days, the allied forces are in military training, all-weather intensive training, queues, knife techniques, long qiāng!

There are now more than 13,000 allied troops in the city of Donglai. In addition, there are about 2,000 private soldiers of the family! These private soldiers have been trained to be all disorganized, and their combat effectiveness has also been greatly improved!

Su Shang, Wei Yunqi and the others walked slowly on the city wall, inspecting the preparations of the city! Around them, there was a constant stream of people. Almost all the people of Donglai City have mobilized to carry arrows, rolling logs and other materials to defend the city!

It is inconvenient to carry materials from the suspension bridge, so they use the crane tower to lift all kinds of materials directly from the city! Everyone shouted slogans, pulled ropes, and there were scenes of Unity and Sincerity everywhere!

Su Shang stood at the head of the city, looking at the people under the city wall! At this moment, a pro-soldier pointed to the south and shouted: "Marshal, three pillars of wolf smoke!"

Su Shangmeng raised his head, only to see that the beacon tower more than 20 miles away in the south was rising with three pillars of wolf smoke! This is the early warning of the scouts around Donglai City, which means that the vanguard of the bandit army has officially arrived, and the offensive and defensive battle of Donglai City will officially begin!

……

That night, more than 100,000 bandit troops with different armors arrived outside the south gate of Donglai City one after another! After the bandit army arrived, Wang Bo immediately sent 5,000 men and horses to test the siege! However, the city is well prepared! More than two hours later, the besieging army left more than a thousand corpses behind and retreated in disarray! The bandit army can only be temporarily stationed outside the city gates!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! "The next day, when the sun rose, the mighty war drums sounded among the bandits outside the city! In the sound of thousands of big drums beating at the same time, a cavalry phalanx of 3,000 people surrounded Wang Bo and slowly walked under the city wall!

There were tens of thousands of bandit troops distributed in front of and behind the 3,000 cavalry, and the black oppressive army seemed to be boundless, stretching for more than ten miles!

As this cavalry advanced, the tens of thousands of bandit troops in front of it gradually split their way to both sides! Wang Bo rode on a tall horse, dressed in golden armor, and held a Daguan knife with a length of a zhang!

Wang Bo's eyes were cold, and the city wall was five hundred paces away in the distance. Looking at the black and red blood stains left under the city wall, the situation of Donglai City being captured appeared in his mind! The flames soared into the sky, and the soldiers and civilians all over the ground knelt in front of his horse and surrendered and begged for mercy!

This is an extremely tempting and longing scene, and he can't wait! At this time, he is no longer just to seize grain and grass, he wants to capture this city! Let his subordinates know that his army is still strong! He wants to win with all his strength to cheer up the rustic spirit, and then turn his head to deal with his fierce rival Zhang Xutuo!

A black-gold handsome flag fluttered in the wind above his head, and behind him were more than a dozen generals in the army! And next to him on both sides were Sun Xuanya and Hao Xiaode!

Sun Xuanya and Hao Xiaode are both important generals under him, and both of them have more than 30,000 rebel troops in their hands! This time, after he was defeated by Zhang Xutuo in Zhangqiu, he was forced to lead the remnants of the army to rendezvous with Sun Xuanya and Hao Xiaode to protect himself!

Wang Bo stared at the direction of Donglai City with a sharp gaze, and asked the generals behind him, "Who is going to call for battle with me?"

"King, my subordinates are willing to go!" A general with a little short stature came out of the crowd!

"Okay, there you go! If you can come back victorious, I'll give you the first credit! Wang Bo said to the people behind him: "Summons the drum and cheer!"

The drums in the barracks shook the sky, and the dwarf general rode his horse past the generals quickly, ran to a place about a hundred paces in front of the city wall, and stopped! He pulled the horse rope in his left hand and held a nine-foot-long black sharp gold qiāng in his right hand!

I saw him holding Ruijin qiāng in his right hand and pointing at the head of the city: "The head of the city is the guard of the city, I am Zhang Jinzhong, the general under the prince!" If you are interested, quickly open the city gate and surrender to my lord! If you don't say a word, I will definitely turn you all into my qiāng downstream souls! ”

The bandit army outside the city beat thousands of drums in unison, and the drums shook the sky! Hundreds of thousands of bandit troops are mighty and murderous! For a time, the bandit army outside the city was mighty!

Su Shang and the young generals were talking about the military situation while looking under the city wall. He was wearing black Bright Light armor, exactly like the generals were wearing!

"Marshal, the last general is willing to go out of the city and take his head! Please be lowly and humble! The generals listened to Zhang Jinzhong's shouting under the city, and their hearts were on fire! At this time, a young general crossed the crowd and bowed to Su Shang for battle! This is his student, Su Hachiro zhāngchāng!

Marshal, this is the military position that Su Shang set for himself! He stipulated that in wartime, everyone in the army had to call him marshal!

Su Shang looked at zhāngchāng calmly, and then looked at the other generals. All but three of these generals were students he had adopted before! "You all want to fight? There's fire in your heart, right? ”

"Soldiers, the great affairs of the country! Anger can make people impulsive, and anger can make people lose their minds! As a general, you must not raise troops out of anger! Su Shang looked at them and said in a deep voice: "They are numerous, but they don't have enough siege tools, and at the same time, they don't have much food and grass!" All they want is to fight us as soon as possible! ”

"And we have too few troops to fight them head-on! Now we have the advantage of defending the city, and we have plenty of food and grass! As long as we hold on for a few days, they will collapse without a fight because of lack of food! ”

"If we go out of the city in a rage, they will surely attack the gates! When the time comes, if the gates are too late to close, then we will be defeated! So we can't take that risk! ”

"However, if the bandits continue to call for battle, it will affect the morale of the generals very much! Lichang, go and bring my bow and arrows! ”

"No!" zhāngchāng immediately flew out. After a while, he ran back again. He was carrying a three-stone strong bow and a heavy pot of iron arrows in his hand, which was Su Shang's special bow and arrow!

Since his body broke through the limit three times, Su Shang's strength has increased significantly! Ordinary one-two stone bows break as soon as they are pulled, and they are useless at all! This three-stone strong bow was found in the garrison camp of Donglai, and I heard that it was the collection of the former general of the garrison of Donglai City!

At this time, all the generals understood what Su Shang meant, and they were all a little ashamed! Their eyes widened and they looked at Su Shang fixedly! I saw Su Shang holding a bow in his right hand, and in his left hand, he took out an iron arrow from the quiver in a hurry. Then he drew the string with a bow, and with a whoosh the iron arrow was shot out!

Zhang Jinzhong kept shouting, but no one in the city paid attention to him! This made his heart very angry, and he drove his horse a few steps forward, just about to continue scolding!

At this time, he found that there was a general at the head of the city who was about to shoot an arrow at him! It's so far away, archery has a fart use! What a stupid general! He was very contemptuous in his heart!

"Ha......" Zhang Jinzhong just wanted to open his mouth to laugh, but suddenly he felt that his chest was hit, and then he fell heavily to the ground and passed out!

"Ah, General Zhang fell to the ground!" As soon as the bandit army under the city saw this, some people couldn't help but cry out! At this time, a group of infantry quickly stepped forward and carried Zhang Jinzhong back!

When Wang Bo saw this situation, his heart was furious. He felt like he was about to bào zhà! He held the Daguan knife in his right hand, and pointed forward fiercely: "Siege!" Besiege! Give me the order, and the whole army will attack the city! ”……
