Chapter 175: The Praying Mantis Yellow Sparrow (Part I)
In Linzi County, Qi Gongshun led 30,000 Qijia bandit troops to besiege Dongyang City in Beihai County, and it has entered the sixth day.
In the past six days, the Qijia bandit army attacked night and day, and every morning as soon as the sky was bright, they began to attack the city on time, and it was not until the bright moon rose in the evening that the gold was withdrawn.
It's a pity that these Qijia bandit army are all ordinary people and bandits, lack siege experience, and lack siege tools, although for several days, the Qijia bandit army has attacked the city every day, paid a huge price, seriously injured and killed more than 5,000 people, but Dongyang City is still Wei Wei standing in front of them!
However, the defenders of the city did not have an easy time. Although they temporarily held the city, more than half of the 2,000 court garrisons had suffered casualties, more than 700 were seriously wounded or killed, and more than 1,000 civilians who assisted in defending the city were also killed or wounded.
Moreover, there is still a big problem in the city, weapons such as knives, guns and arrows are about to be exhausted, and the current inventory is less than a thousand.
Perhaps, Qi Gongshun already knows the weapons situation in the city, from this morning, the Qijia bandit army has obviously strengthened the intensity of the siege, the momentum of the siege is wave after wave, there is no sign of pause or weakening for several hours, the soldiers and civilians defending the city in the city have no time to rest, they can only fight hard and hold on!
In the scorching sun, the battle of attack and defense of Dongyang City is still continuing, more than 100 siege ladders have been set up on the battlements, and the soldiers of the Qijia bandit army are constantly climbing upward.
The bandit soldiers tied their broadswords and spears diagonally to their backs, and held the wooden shields in their hands high above their heads, blocking the swords, guns and arrows of the defenders at the head of the city, and climbed bravely all the way.
The defenders at the head of the city have been weak, although they are still desperate, still keep going to the siege ladder, moving the rolling wood and radium, but the speed has slowed down, the defenders at the head of the city have gradually unable to hold on, they can no longer resist, the Qijia bandits who climbed the ladder!
At the head of the northeast city, a sturdy and mighty bandit general suddenly violently sent the wooden shield in his hand upward, taking advantage of the moment when the soldiers defending the city were pushed away, he quickly climbed a few steps up, stepped over the battlements quickly, and finally became the first Qijia bandit army to climb the head of Dongyang City!
Several of the soldiers defending the city who were pushed away by him reacted instantly, couldn't help but roar, and even waved the weapons in their hands in unison, slashing at the bandit general's head, and for a while, the bandit general held a shield, blocked and retreated, and his back went straight to the battlements!
The bandit general had no way to retreat, nowhere to hide, his life hung by a thread, suddenly his aura flashed, and he directly smashed the wooden shield in his hand towards the first two people, taking advantage of this gap, he pulled out the big knife on his back with his backhand, and a five-foot long knife was blocked by him on the right side, fierce and abnormal, and the two soldiers who defended the city in time were cut down by him in an instant.
The fierce bandit general slashed and slashed, and several of the soldiers besieging him fell to the ground with stabs one after another, and he finally won a place at the head of the city. Under his protection, the follow-up Qijia bandit army continued to climb the city, and the soldiers defending the city, who were already exhausted, could no longer resist and retreated again and again!
The Qijia bandit army has finally stabilized its position at the head of the city, and the opportunity to break through Dongyang City is just around the corner!
The Chinese military department of the Qijia bandit army under the city, riding a war horse and holding a long lance in his hand, has been paying attention to Qi Gongshun, who has been paying attention to the bandit army in the city, a burst of great joy, this time he dispatched 10,000 soldiers to attack the city at the same time, that is, he intends to capture Dongyang City within today, because he already knows that the arrows and weapons in the city are about to run out, and he no longer needs to worry about the army storming Dongyang City and causing heavy casualties!
"Soldiers, after the city is broken, the whole army will loot for half a day!"
Qi Gongshun loudly announced that his soldiers had been blocked outside Dongyang City for several days, with heavy casualties, and they needed to boost their morale!
"The whole army is on duty! Besiege! ”
The Qijia bandit army instantly seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and kept shouting, "Siege!" Besiege! ”
"Boom! Knock knock! Boom! Knock knock! ”
The earth-shattering war drums were becoming more and more rapid, one after another, constantly echoing in the sky above the battlefield, like a tide, the Qijia bandit army, densely packed, they shouted all the way, and rushed towards Dongyang City.
The soldiers who defended the city without arrows and arrows could no longer stop the approach of the Qi family bandit army, nor could they stop them from climbing the ladder to climb the city......
"General, we can attack! Wait any longer, Qi Gongshun will enter the city! ”
On the top of a hill three miles away from the north city of Dongyang City, looking at the team of Qijia bandits successfully landing on the head of Dongyang City, the generals of the pro-soldiers who came to the whole city were in a hurry, and couldn't help but make suggestions!
Two days ago, Lai Cheng and Zhang Lihong took 5,000 cavalry soldiers and rushed all the way, and finally arrived outside Dongyang City on the same day!
However, at this time, Zhang Lihong was not by his side, they had already divided into two ways, Zhang Lihong was leading two thousand soldiers, ambushing outside the south gate of Dongyang City, preparing to cooperate with the inner part of the city and enter Dongyang City from the south gate!
"Wait!" Lai Cheng frowned a little, in fact, he was also anxious, but he couldn't wait.
In the order note Su Shang gave him, he had already explained that he must wait until the Qijia bandit army breaks through Dongyang City, and some bandit soldiers attack Dongyang City, and the cavalry team can attack the Qijia bandit army, although he doesn't understand the meaning, but he must follow the order!
A quarter of an hour later, the bandit generals who first ascended to the top of the city finally led the Qijia bandits to kill from the city to the bottom of the city, and slowly opened the gate of Dongyang City!
The soldiers of the Qi family, who had not yet climbed the ladder to the city outside the city, instantly increased their morale, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the entrance of the city gate, like a torrent, about to devour everything that was in the way of the city!
The time has come!
Lai Cheng didn't wait any longer, and ordered sharply: "Full speed forward, pierce and attack!"
The banner soldiers immediately waved the banner, and the 3,000 cavalry soldiers who had already made all preparations for the attack under the mountain instantly rode their horses and galloped, heading towards Dongyang City, three miles away, killing at high speed!
Three thousand cavalry ran at full speed, the horse's hooves shook the earth, and the sound of neat horses' hooves tore through the sky and echoed over the battlefield.
Qi Gongshun looked back, and his face changed instantly, "Not good!" There is an ambush! ”
His more than 20,000 Qi family soldiers are pouring into Dongyang City in a steady stream, and it is impossible to turn around and defend in a short period of time, although there are also 3,000 cavalry around him at this time, but they are far from being able to compare to the elite of the incoming cavalry!
Qi Gongshun was in a hurry for a while, and he was helpless!
Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
