Chapter 19: The Battle of Donglai City{2}

Thousands of Allied soldiers stood in line at the head of the city, all wearing black bright light armor, holding bows and arrows, and everyone's eyes were resolute! Dozens of huge trebuchets, like dozens of giants standing at the head of the city!

Su Shang and the generals stood at the head of the city, staring at the Wang Bo bandit army that was slowly approaching outside the city! More than 100,000 men and horses stretched for more than ten miles, overwhelmingly advancing under the city wall!

Wang Bo's bandit army did not go fast, they did not come to fight head-on, but to fight a siege battle! This is not what Wang Bo is good at, especially at this time! After Wang Bo's bandit army was defeated by Zhang Xutuo's army, they lost a lot of weight due to their rapid retreat, and all the siege tools were abandoned!

Wang Bo's original intention was not to attack the city, but unfortunately he had no choice! There is not much food and grass in the army, and Zhang Xutuo's army is about to catch up again! He must take the city of Donglai in a few days, obtain the food and grass supplies in the city, and then defend the city! In this way, Zhang Xutuo, who was chased from afar, can return in vain, so as to get a glimmer of life for his army!

It's a pity that he doesn't have enough information about Donglai City, and he only knows that after the previous Donglai garrison was transferred, the court has not sent a new army to station! It was for this reason that he decided to retreat to Donglai! He originally thought that after the army arrived in Donglai, Donglai City would definitely surrender! Then you can defend the city yourself, and you don't have to be afraid of Zhang Xutuo's pursuers!

But what he didn't expect was that there was still an army stationed in Donglai City! And this army is extremely elite, no worse than Zhang Xutuo's army! Last night's tentative siege had made him deeply aware of this!

There is not enough food and grass, there is a way in the front, and there are chasing soldiers in the back! Wang Bo is already difficult to ride a tiger! For the sake of that glimmer of life, he resolutely decided to attack the city with an army early this morning, hoping to capture Donglai City in two or three days!

There weren't many siege tools that the bandits had made overnight, only hundreds of simple siege ladders! The bandit army carried the siege ladder and slowly entered, and the arrows at the head of the city poured down like a torrential rain, and the bandit army suffered countless casualties in a while!

"Lord Wang, the defenders of Donglai City are too elite! I'm afraid I won't be able to attack it in three days! Sun Xuanya said worriedly beside him.

Wang Bo looked at the head of the city with a fierce gaze, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "If you can't attack it, you have to attack it!" In any case, you must take this city within three days! The order went down, and ordered the rear army to continue to step up the manufacture of siege tools, and the rest of the army to attack the city with all their might! ”

Hao Xiaode, who was on the other side, was very worried, and spoke out to dissuade him: "Lord Wang, this will cause serious casualties!" I'm worried that there will be unstable morale! It's better to withdraw the army first, and then attack after you have made enough siege tools! ”

Wang Bo looked at the bandit army under the city wall who was desperately attacking the city, and said in a deep voice: "You are also very clear about the situation of the army!" We don't have time to wait! ”

"General Sun, is that Zhao family kid still there?"

"Back to the prince, then Zhao San is still in the barracks! The lowly position makes people look up to him! ”

"Go and tell him that I can grant him all his requests! But he must have the gates open and let the army enter the city within three days! ”

"Yes! The last will arrange it now! ”

……

In Donglai City, in the open space between the inner city and the outer city, more than 2,000 private soldiers of the family and 10,000 allied troops stood in line. Everyone looked at the school platform in front of them and listened to the pre-war mobilization of coach Su Shang.

Su Shang was also wearing black Mingguang armor, holding a black overlord halberd more than a foot long, standing on the school platform with a solemn expression, like a god descending to earth!

He pointed the overlord halberd in his hand forward, and said sharply to the soldiers: "This Donglai City is the city of our Donglai people!" It's a place where we live in peace! Now that the bandit army has arrived, they want to kill people and rob money! Our parents and loved ones are here! They're all watching us! They need our protection! Today we are not just fighting for the city of Donglai, we are fighting for ourselves! It's also a fight for your parents and loved ones! Even if there is only one man left, Donglai City must not fall。。。。。。 Protect Donglai, protect your loved ones! ”

In the rumbling war drums on the school platform, the blood of more than 12,000 soldiers boiled, and they raised their weapons and shouted with all their might: "Protect Donglai!" Protect your loved ones! ”

The shouts shook the whole city, and even the people in the inner city who had been recruited to help carry the materials to defend the city were also infected, and they shouted! Su Shang waved the overlord halberd in his hand and shouted: "The bandit army has arrived, and the soldiers have returned to their positions!" Those who disobey military orders will be killed! Those who shake the hearts of the army, slash! ”

The soldiers left one after another and rushed to their respective positions! Su Shang walked quickly to the outer city wall, and said to several generals around him as he walked: "Don't go to the army, the bandit army doesn't know the reality of our troops!" Now they don't have enough siege tools, and there are certainly not many who actually attack the city. We will only use 5,000 soldiers first, and the rest of the soldiers will stay in the inner city for the time being, and recharge their energy first! Wait for my order before committing it! ”

"The last general understands!" Several generals said in unison!

"Also, send those 2,000 private soldiers up to defend the city first! They have not been training for a long time, and their combat power is not high. Let them go and see the blood first, and they can also confuse the bandits! Su Shang paused and said, "Their combat strength is too poor to be all together!" Separate them one by one and arrange them between the Confederate forces! Okay, let's go ahead and arrange it first! Seventeen Lang, you stay first! ”

"No!" Several generals turned around and left, leaving only Li Yixing standing there looking at Su Shang!

"Yixing, is there anything unusual about the family in the city? How are Ten Lang and Twelve Lang? Su Shang looked at Li Yixing and asked!

"Back to Marshal! The heads of the three major families in the city had a secret meeting in a small courtyard in the east city yesterday! It seems that the Zhao family proposed to dedicate the city, and also wanted to dedicate the marshal to the bandit army Wang Bo! As for the specifics of their plot, it is not very clear, the spies did not hear! ”

"Ten Lang and Twelve Lang have been obtained, and the initial trust of the Wang and Zhao families has been obtained. Shi Lang also sent news that the head of the Zhao family had a great opinion on the Allied army's entry into Donglai City! He has always wanted to find an opportunity to deal with you, Marshal, and to snatch the Confederates over! His third son, Zhao San, had already left the city three days ago, and it was possible that he was going to contact the bandit Wang Bo! ”

"This Zhao family! Looks like you're going to have to force me to do it! Su Shang secretly said in his heart!

"I guess they'll be doing it in four or five days! The bandit army does not have much food and grass, and if they want to sacrifice the city, they can only do it as soon as possible! Yixing, from now on, we must arrange people to monitor all suspicious people for 12 hours a day! In addition, we must quickly find out the details of their conspiracy to sacrifice the city! ”

"No! This will be arranged! Li Yixing turned around and left!

At the head of the city, thousands of Confederate soldiers stood at the head of the city. The soldiers looked coldly and raised their bows and arrows together! The private soldiers of the two thousand families were a little timid, and the overwhelming bandit army outside the city made them a little weak in their legs!

But the war has broken out, and they can only fight with all their might! Most of the squad of 2,000 private troops was assigned to be in charge of trebuchets! The huge trebuchet is about two feet high, with a long arm with a stone pocket hanging from the tail of the arm. Pulled by more than 100 people, the giant weighing hundreds of pounds can be thrown two or three hundred steps away!

Su Shang stared coldly at the black-pressed bandit army, and the siege ladders were full of bandit soldiers. The bandit army had already entered the range of two hundred steps, and Su Shang pointed at the overlord halberd in his hand, and gave an order, "Throw stones!" ”

The drums at the head of Donglai City sounded loudly, dozens of trebuchets started at the same time, and the long arm swinged out, and the big stone weighing more than 100 catties was thrown in the air in an instant! Dozens of large rocks swirled in the air, whistling towards the bandits!

"Boom!" Big rocks fell and rolled in the bandits! More than a dozen people were injured in every stone, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and it was unbearable to see! One after another, big stones smashed into the bandit army, and the screams of the bandit army rang out one after another!

"Click!" A siege ladder was hit by a large rock! The siege ladder was suddenly broken into several pieces, and dozens of people standing on the siege ladder fell down one after another, with serious casualties!

Dense boulders smashed into the siege ladder. The siege ladder of the bandit army is simple and crude! They were all made by the bandits when they were in prison, only their form and no god, and the slightest touch of the big stone will damage them and they will be unusable! In just over 100 steps, nearly half of the siege ladders were smashed by big stones! However, there are still two or three hundred siege ladders gradually approaching the city wall!

In the sky, large rocks are tumbling, whistling and smashing to the ground! In a short period of time, the trebuchet launched four or five rounds, and almost 200 large stones were smashed into the bandits, causing more than 3,000 casualties! But the bandits did not stop, and they gradually rushed into the range of the arrows!

For a time, the allied army on the head of the city was like a rain of arrows! Thousands of arrows were fired at the enemy in a dense manner. Arrows are used to defend cities, and they are longer and heavier than arrows from a bow! If you shoot it from a high place, it will shoot at the bandit army with its own weight, which is extremely lethal!

The bandits greeted them with their shields. The bandits had two kinds of shields, one was a wooden shield covered with cowhides, captured from the imperial army. This wooden shield is sturdy and durable! One is a simple wooden shield made by the bandits, and the planks are thinner. This kind of shield can only resist the arrows fired by an ordinary one-stone bow, and it can't resist heavy arrows at all!

Although there are quite a few bandit soldiers who have several layers of raw cowhide on their shields, they still can't resist the shot of arrows! The shields were pierced by arrows, and the enemy soldiers behind the shields were also killed! For a while, pieces of bandit soldiers fell to the ground screaming!
