Chapter 292: The Fisherman Profits

Su Shang motioned for the generals to pause the discussion, glanced at everyone, and said: "After the battle in the mountains, the Wagang army has re-surrounded Liyangcang, and the current defenders of Liyangcang are less than 20,000 people, which is no longer enough to hold on, I estimate that the Wagang army will attack again tomorrow." If there is no accident, within a day or two, Liyang Cang will be breached, and we must also be prepared! ”

The generals immediately stood and listened quietly, they all knew that the marshal was going to arrange a task!

Su Shang glanced at the generals again, "Let's arrange the combat mission below, Su Dingfang!" ”

Su Dingfang took a few steps forward and said solemnly: "The last general!"

"Before the end of tomorrow, you will lead 20,000 soldiers to lurk outside the north gate, and when the Wagang army breaks through the city gate and the army enters the city, you will attack them halfway!"

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

"Wei Chigong!"

Wei Chigong was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Not yet!" ”

"Before midnight tomorrow, you will lead 20,000 soldiers to lurk outside the south gate. In the same way, when the Wagang army breaks through the city gate and the army enters the city, they will be attacked halfway! ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

Su Shang pondered for a while, and continued to order: "Pei Changcai, Liu Lancheng!"

The two hurriedly stepped forward and stood solemnly, and said in unison: "Not yet!"

"The Wagang army has built a pontoon bridge on the artificial river connecting the Yongji Canal, and you have led 2,000 soldiers to lurk on both sides of the pontoon bridge, and once you find that the Wagang army has signs of mutual support, immediately set fire to the pontoon bridge!"

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

…

After the task was arranged, Su Shang asked Fang Xuanling and Wei Zhengxiao again, "Do you two have any reminders?"

The two glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time, Fang Xuanling smiled: "The marshal is very thoughtful!"

Su Shang smiled, looked at everyone and said, "At the end of the fifth watch tomorrow, the army will set off at the same time, everyone will go back and arrange it now!"

"Yes!"

……

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

In the south city of Liyang Cang, the huge war drums continued to come out, and the same war drums beat together in the city, and the scene was very shocking.

After the first battle of Shanyu yesterday, the Wagang army was non-stop, and once again surrounded Liyangcang, and this morning, it launched an attack at the south and north gates at the same time.

In the southern city, the Wagang army is launching a general attack, and in front of the city wall that is more than two miles long, 50,000 Wagang soldiers are overwhelming and densely packed.

A series of siege ladders have been set up at the head of the city, and the Wagang soldiers are like ant colonies, one after another, climbing up the siege ladders. They slashed with their swords, stabbed with their spears, smashed with their shields, and attacked the city with all their might.

On the city, the defenders desperately bent their bows and arrows, and under the command of the generals, sharp arrows shot one after another, like dense rain.

The giant trees were rolling, the boulders were smashed, and from time to time the Wagang soldiers who climbed the ladder couldn't dodge and fell down screaming.

More than a dozen long-armed beast-like trebuchets were thrown one by one, and suddenly more than a dozen large stones smashed into the dense ant-like Wagang soldiers.

Every time a big stone falls, a gap will appear, blood bursts out, blood mist fills the air, and a terrible wail and scream will immediately tear the space and resound through the earth. But in an instant, the gap will close again, and it will be flooded by the tide of Wagang soldiers.

"Click!" With a bang, a siege nest car was hit by a big stone and broke, suddenly sawdust splashed, the beams collapsed, and hundreds of Wagang soldiers on the nest car suddenly stood unsteadily, lost their center of gravity, they fell one after another like dumplings, and the terrible screams instantly resounded throughout the battlefield.

These nest cars were all brought by Xu Shiji from Liyang City. When attacking Liyang City, the more than 20 nest cars prepared by Xu Shiji became the key to breaking through Liyang City. It's a pity that the more than 20 nest cars are all simple products made in a hurry, and after the First World War, they have been damaged.

However, in the treasury of Liyang City, the Wagang soldiers found thirty more dusty and somewhat rotten siege nest vehicles, and in order to successfully attack Liyang Cang, Xu Shiji brought them over.

"Click!

Another nest car was hit by a big stone to the bottom, the stressed beam wood was broken in response, the nest car suddenly lost its center of gravity, swaying, in a rapid tilt, the Wagang soldiers on both sides of the nest car shouted and ran away, in the scream, the nest car fell down.

At the head of the city, Yuan Min looked at the wave after wave of the city, the Wagang soldiers who were rapidly attacking the city, did not speak, looked up at the Wagang Shuai Qi in the distance, and his face was very gloomy.

He thought that the Wagang army would rest for a day or two after the battle in the mountains, but he did not expect that as soon as the sky was bright this morning, the Wagang army beat the drums of war and directly launched a general attack, and its offensive was even more fierce than the attack a few days ago.

At this time, a letter soldier rode a horse and galloped over, "Report to the general, the enemy attack at the north gate is fierce, our soldiers have suffered more than 3,000 casualties, General Liu was killed by an arrow, and a small number of enemy soldiers have attacked the city." ”

Yuan Min was suddenly shocked, his face changed constantly, and then returned to normal, he was a little glad that he had foresight, if he hadn't prepared for it, let General Zhang completely seal the north gate, maybe the enemy army had opened the city gate at this time.

Yuan Min pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Inform General Yuan, let him lead 3,000 soldiers to support immediately, and be sure to drive all the enemy soldiers off the city."

"Yes!"

…

An hour later, the battle between the attackers and the defenders entered the most brutal stage, the casualties on both sides increased in a straight line, and as the soldiers continued to suffer casualties, the defenders gradually ran out of manpower, and the defense of the city head appeared to be porous.

North Side.

An hour ago, the general surnamed Yuan arrived in time with 3,000 soldiers, and after a bloody battle, he finally took back the city head that was temporarily lost because the general surnamed Liu was accidentally killed by an arrow, and hundreds of Wagang soldiers who took the opportunity to climb the city were also killed.

At this time, the crisis reappeared, and hundreds of Wagang soldiers followed the siege nest car to the top of the city again.

The soldiers defending the city did not give an inch, and there were dozens of soldiers defending the city in front of each nest car fighting fiercely with the Wagang soldiers, but their physical strength had declined, and the Wagang soldiers who climbed the city were as imposing as a rainbow.

Wagang soldiers held large swords and wooden shields, waved spears and sharp spears, spears stabbed, big knives slashed, and the courage was abnormal.

The morale of the defenders of the city plummeted, and they could no longer stop the fierce attack of the Wagang soldiers, so they gradually retreated and slowly retreated towards the city gate.

Before the north gate, Li Mi, who had been paying attention to the battle situation at the head of the city, was suddenly overjoyed, and shouted: "Beat the drums and order the army to charge!"

The rhythm of the drums suddenly became rapid and dense, and the morale of the Wagang soldiers instantly soared, and they rushed to the city wall one by one shouting, climbing the ladder...

South City.

In front of the nest car, a soldier defending the city was slashed on the forehead, and immediately blood gushed out, and he fell on his back, and another soldier defending the city rushed forward with a spear, and the spear instantly pierced the enemy's chest, picking the Wagang soldiers off the city, temporarily withstanding the gap.

Immediately afterwards, a strong Wagang soldier pushed him with a wooden shield, pushed him away, and jumped onto the city.

The strong soldier backed the battlements, held a wooden shield in his left hand, and held a giant hammer in his right hand.

The Wagang soldiers, who had been suppressed on the nest car, seized the opportunity one after another, and in an instant, more than a dozen fierce Wagang soldiers rushed to the city.

Together with the strong soldiers, they formed a circle with their backs to the battlements, and they brandished their swords and spears to kill the defenders of the city fiercely, while the nest carts behind them came out, and the Wagang soldiers were pouring up!

There are more and more Wagang soldiers who climb the city, and their morale is greatly increased, they use long knives to chop, smash with wooden shields, the more they fight, the more courageous they become, the morale of the defending generals drops greatly, and they no longer have the heart to fight hard, they have turned around and retreated, retreating to the inner city.

Half an hour later, the city gate was finally opened by the Wagang soldiers who attacked the city, Zhai Rang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and ordered sharply, "The army enters the city!" ”

The Wagang soldiers changed direction one after another, shouting and rushing to the city gate, they wanted to kill through the city gate hole.

Tens of thousands of Wagang soldiers rushed to the city gate like a tide, passed through the city gate hole, and quickly entered Liyang Cang!

"Let's go! Let's go in too! ”

A quarter of an hour later, seeing that a small half of the soldiers had entered Liyang Cang, Zhai Rang was in a good mood, greeted the soldiers beside him, and prepared to ride his horse to lead the rear army into the city.

At this moment, there was a sudden abnormal vibration from the earth, giving people the feeling of ten thousand horses galloping, and then a burst of shouts of killing came from the west, getting closer and closer.

Zhai Rang's face suddenly changed greatly, and he turned his head to look west. A few miles away, a huge cavalry force was rapidly approaching, and the cavalry was overwhelming, and it looked like there were at least 20,000 men.

The generals beside him were the same, and Wang Ruxin hurriedly said: "Big boss, it seems that there are at least 30,000 people, and it is not good, let's withdraw first!"

Zhai Rang looked back at Liyangcang, and felt a little bitter in his heart, the snipe and the clam competed, the fisherman profited, and he spent a huge price to break through the city gate, but before he had time to taste the fruits of victory, he was about to be taken away by someone's horizontal knife.

"Big brother, let's give the order quickly! This is Donglai's allyd army, and if it doesn't withdraw, it will be too late! Seeing that Zhai Rang was still hesitating, Xu Shiji also hurriedly reminded him that he had seen clearly that the incoming cavalry army was playing the flag of the Allied Army.

"Confederates?"

Zhai Rang came back to his senses in an instant, and he also saw clearly that the subordinate flag of the attacking enemy army was a black and gold flag, and the three fiery red characters of "Allied Army" embroidered on it were very conspicuous!

"They're all cavalry, where are we going?" Zhai Rang was a little panicked for a while, and he couldn't make up his mind.

"Let's retreat to the north gate first, and meet the four masters..."

"No!"

Before Wang Ruxin's suggestion was finished, Xu Shiji interrupted him and hurriedly said, "Withdraw directly to Liyang City!" The allies are prepared, they won't let us cross the river, and even the soldiers at the North Gate may be attacked! ”

Hearing Xu Shiji's words, Zhai Rang did not hesitate any longer, and said sharply: "Inform the soldiers who have entered the city to evacuate freely to Liyang City to rendezvous, and the other soldiers will withdraw to Liyang City with me."

The cavalry of the Allied Army that came at high speed was the 20,000 soldiers led by Wei Chigong. Not long after the Wagang army launched the siege in the morning, Wei Chigong led the army to the vicinity, and they had been lurking for more than three hours.

"Qihu, you immediately lead the soldiers of the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion to follow and pursue the enemy army!" Seeing that Zhai Rang retreated before fighting, Wei Chigong couldn't help but hurriedly order, this big boss of Wagangzhai is a great merit.

"Yes!"

Qi Hu answered the order, then raised the weapon in his hand and shouted: "Brothers of the first battalion, the second battalion and the third battalion, follow me!"

The cavalry team did not pause, and automatically divided 6,000 people to kill Zhai Rang with Qihu, while Wei Chigong continued to rush to the city gate with the remaining cavalry soldiers and entered Liyang Cang.

Wei Chigong took the lead, and the eight horse lances in his hands flew up and down, smashed through and stabbed the thorns, passing along the way, and within the long lance, the Wagang soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

Fifteen thousand Allied soldiers, each armed with spears and spears, pierced through the city gate and followed closely behind Wei Chigong.

They quickly formed a giant cone formation, with Wei Chigong as the tip of the cone, like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, all the way at high speed across the Wagang soldiers along the way.

"Zhai Rang has fled, and those who abandon their weapons and surrender will not die!"

The soldiers of the Allied army rushed all the way and shouted all the way, and the Wagang soldiers were suddenly beaten, they had just broken through the city gate, and they were about to enjoy the fruits of victory. Unexpectedly, the fruit pickers came, and even the big boss was beaten away. For a while, they were all a little blindfolded on the spot and at a loss!

The surviving defenders of the city were greatly demoralized, and they turned back to counterattack, shouting to kill the Wagang soldiers.

……

Before Beicheng, Li Mi's face was a little gloomy at this time, he had already received the news that the city gate had been completely sealed, and it would be difficult to open it in a short time.

"General, let's turn to the south gate! Wait any longer, and we'll be in vain! Bing Yuanzhen suggested out loud.

He is Li Mi's confidant and staff, and he knows Li Mi's thoughts very well, and the reason why Li Mi is willing to come this time is because he is worried that Zhai Rang will monopolize the results of the battle and will greatly increase his strength, thus threatening the existence of the Pushan camp.

Li Mi pondered for a moment, nodded, and ordered: "Immediately send an order to the army to retreat and assemble, rush to Nancheng at full speed, notify the soldiers in the city to kill the south gate, and assist the soldiers of Nancheng to open the south gate."

The military order was issued, and the Wagang soldiers who had not yet climbed the ladder to the city retreated one after another, and even some soldiers who had already climbed the city also withdrew along the siege ladder, and for a while, the scene was a little chaotic.

In a dense forest miles away from Li Mi and the others, Su Dingfang was waiting quietly with 20,000 soldiers, his patience was very good, although he had been waiting for several hours, he was still in a calm mood without any fluctuations.

Qi Leopard was a little impatient, and muttered: "What is the matter with the soldiers of this Wagang Village, they have been on the city for so long, but they don't open the city gate?"

Su Dingfang glanced at Qi Leopard, and also felt a little strange, and asked Wei Zheng, "Does the military advisor know what the reason is?"

Wei Zheng stroked his chin and short beard, and said with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, the city gate should be sealed, and it is estimated that it will not be opened for a while!"
