407, New Battles (19)
The famous soldiers of the Heavenly Dao Army were divided into three groups by Zheng Fei, each group of three people, and took turns to go to the city to kill the enemy, transport supplies and rest,
The state soldiers under the city are organized by the Qizhou army to organize all the archers to be responsible for pulling bows and shooting arrows to suppress the archers of the Tiandao army in the city, covering the siege of the Xuzhou army and the Yanzhou army.
I saw that the sky was full of arrows flying, and there were human arrows almost every minute and every second, but there was a world of difference between the treatment of the Tiandao Army and the state soldiers after the arrows, and the soldiers of the Tiandao Army who were injured by the arrows would be quickly transferred downstairs by the soldiers who transported the supplies, and the doctors from the military hospital led by An Daoquan carried out treatment; The officers and soldiers could only lie on the ground screaming miserably, no one helped them up and sent them out of the position, no one rescued them, and they themselves could not withdraw from the position to save themselves, because then they would definitely be executed by the Gao Tang soldiers behind as deserters! Only some slightly smarter people know how to pull the corpses of their fallen comrades around them as a temporary meat shield, and then pray that their injuries can last until the end of the war.
Under the city wall, the Xuzhou army and the Yanzhou army frantically used the cloud ladder to move the impact on the city wall, they are also the key objects of the archers of the Tiandao Army on the city wall, although most of them hold shields to protect the dangerous position, but they expose the lower body of the shield and become the attack point, at any time there are people and arrows from the ladder to the ground, or fall heavily to the ground, or hit the state army below, either dead or wounded.
There are also many Heavenly Dao Army soldiers on the city wall holding long wooden sticks with hooks, and several people hook the top of the ladder together and push it out, as the whole ladder is pushed away from the city wall, the state soldiers on the ladder will suddenly fall to the ground with the ladder,
There are also many soldiers of the Heavenly Dao Army who have taken out the big stones that have been prepared and piled up on the city wall, and desperately moved them up and smashed them at the state soldiers on the ground.
There are also many Heavenly Dao Army soldiers who smashed the clay pots one by one to the place where there are many state soldiers below, as the clay pots fell to the ground and were broken, the fire oil inside was also spilled out, splashing on the bodies of those state soldiers, and the Heavenly Dao Army soldiers then threw the torches there, and suddenly a small area of fire was over, and some state soldiers instantly screamed and became fire men.
But the state soldiers also have a way to deal with the soldiers of the Heavenly Dao Army on the city wall, in addition to many siege state soldiers also have bows and arrows, and will shoot arrows while climbing up the ladder to cause casualties to the Heavenly Dao Army, many of them also hold a hook rope with a three-clawed iron hook at one end and a long rope at the other end, and when they climb halfway along the ladder, they will throw it on the city wall, and the city wall is full of Tiandao Army soldiers. dragged the man alive from the city wall, and after falling to the ground, he either died on the spot or was hacked to death by a group of state soldiers who swarmed up and stabbed to death.
Although the Heavenly Dao Army relied on various means to cause huge casualties to the state soldiers who were besieging the city, because the number of state soldiers was too large, they were still lucky to attack the city wall by a few state soldiers on the cloud ladder, but they were greeted by the fierce attack of the Heavenly Dao Army soldiers, either they were killed on the city wall on the spot, or they were forced to jump off the city wall, and the corpses of the state soldiers on the city wall who were killed would be thrown down the city wall as stones.
In this way, the state soldiers attacked frantically, and the Heavenly Dao Army also desperately defended, and there were casualties on both sides at all times, but the casualties of the Heavenly Dao Army were far smaller than the state soldiers.
Zheng Fei's robe was also stained with blood, which was the blood of the three state soldiers who had just emerged on the ladder when he cut them, and I have to say that the combat effectiveness of these state soldiers who were forced to a dead end also made Zheng Fei secretly surprised!
But Zheng Fei's appearance like this, behind the eyes of the soldiers of the Heavenly Dao Army, also completely aroused their fighting spirit, just imagine, the boss is the first to fight hard, what reason do you have not to work hard?
The three teams of the Heavenly Dao Army took turns to fight and defended the city wall!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Gao Lianda's rear looked at the siege battle under the golden beach, and watched the state soldiers in the distance sometimes leaning on the ladder to approach the city wall, and sometimes being shot down from mid-air, countless figures were fighting to the death between the line of the city wall, his brows were tightly locked, and his heart was as anxious as ten thousand ants devouring his heart,
Through the successive blows, he had already guessed that the battle with the Liangshan bandits would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so cruel!
These Liangshan thieves are simply too tenacious, where did they get their courage from?!
The generals of Qizhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou have all come to him to ask him to withdraw people temporarily, because the current casualties are too heavy, but they have all been rejected by him, Gao Lian and others, he wants to use the four thousand men and horses of these three states to drag down the Liangshan bandits, and then he will lead the remaining three thousand troops to launch a general attack on the Liangshan bandits and defeat them in one fell swoop!
And before that, even if he beat all the 4,000 people in these three states, he didn't care!
At the same time, his eyes looked to the northeast again, he knew that in the general direction, Hu Yanzhuo was leading his 1,000 infantry and his five men and horses to attack, how he hoped to suddenly receive news from Hu Yanzhuo, saying that he had broken through the Liangshan bandits on the side of the mountain, and was leading the army into the mountain. It's a pity that since he and Hu Yanzhuo's soldiers were separated, he never received any news from Hu Yanzhuo's department.
Gao Lian couldn't help but be a little strange, what happened to Hu Yanzhuo?
Just when Gao Lian was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw a cronie running from outside the tent, he ran so flusteredly that he even knocked down once and almost ate a mouthful of mud.
Gao Lian couldn't help frowning when he saw it, and was about to wait for the man to come close and scold him, but when he saw the man rushing into the camp, he fell to his knees and said urgently, "My lord, it's not good!" The camp of the coalition army has been burned, and Yuncheng County has fallen into the siege of thieves! ”
What the?! Gao Lian only felt like being poured from the top of his head by a basin of ice water, pouring it cold inside and out!
He rushed to the man in a few steps, almost frantically grabbed him by the collar and shouted, "What did you say?!" Is it true?! ”
The cronies hurriedly said, "This ...... This is the letter from the head of Yuncheng County, he is waiting outside the tent at the moment, it is he who said that not long after the army left this morning, suddenly there are many thieves, killed the officers and soldiers who stayed in the camp, and set fire to the camp, and then began to attack Yuncheng County! Shi Bin, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, sent him to ask for help, saying that if the army couldn't go back, he would only be afraid...... Grain and grass are about to fall into the hands of thieves! ”
Gao Lian's eyes widened and let go of him, the whole person retreated a few steps as if he had collapsed, and his face instantly became extremely pale, but fortunately he was supported by the left and right in time to not fall to the ground on the spot.
"My lord! What's wrong with you, sir, sir?! "Left and right are in a mess, to the cheap pinching people, the fan of the wind,
Then I saw Gao Lian suddenly straighten up like a corpse and shouted in a hoarse voice,
"Quick! Hurry up and call it in! Return...... Return to Yuncheng County! ”
