Is the imperial army going to attack the city again?

Wang Shifan had some doubts in his heart, but a trace of disdain flashed on his face.

Isn't the imperial army still giving up, they have attacked the city several times, but they have all failed, and continuing to attack the city is just to increase casualties.

Guessing this, Wang Shifan didn't care, so he ordered Liu Jun, "Commander Liu, you quickly go back to take charge of the city defense war, and don't let the imperial army attack the city." ”

"The last general obeys!" Liu Yan, who was dressed in armor, hugged his fists.

Just when Liu Yan was about to turn around and leave, someone came to report, "Jie Shuai, the whole army of the imperial court has been dispatched and is already lined up outside the city!" ”

"The whole army is on the move?"

Hearing this news, Wang Shifan's first reaction was not to believe it, and the generals below did not believe it.

So Wang Shifan quickly changed into armor and went to the city tower under the escort of his own soldiers, and he was also a little surprised to see the imperial army waiting at the city gate.

Before Wang Shifan came to the city tower, the golden drums on the entire city wall had already sounded in unison, and the sound of the horn resounded in the sky, spreading to the entire Qingzhou City.

Although the morale of the soldiers in Qingzhou City is a little low, this is not the first time such a situation has happened. After the soldiers patrolling the city wall gave warnings, the soldiers stationed under the city drove to the city wall one by one, and according to the orders of their superiors, they came to their positions and prepared to meet the enemy.

When Wang Fan came, the soldiers on the city wall were almost ready, and the iron juice, rolling wood, and stone were all placed in the battlements.

"Jie Shuai, the imperial army is about to attack the city, the arrows have no eyes, the city wall is too dangerous, I hope that the festival marshal will leave quickly, as long as there is a general, the enemy will not be able to attack this Qingzhou City."

Seeing that Wang Shifan actually came to join in the fun, Liu Yan was in a hurry, and when the siege began, where could he take care of him.

"Commander Liu doesn't have to worry, Ben Shuai just looks." Wang Shifan had never seen a siege of the city, and he was only sixteen years old, and it was when his curiosity was bursting.

"Jie Shuai..."

Liu Yan wanted to persuade him again, but Wang Shifan raised his hand and interrupted him, "What's the matter with this imperial army, you want to use cavalry to attack the city?" ”

Looking at the cavalry waiting behind the infantry formation, Wang Shifan was a little puzzled.

Liu Yan hurriedly looked over and found a neat queue of silver-armored cavalry, led by a white-robed young general.

It's not that the armor of these cavalrymen is made of silver, but that the iron armor, after being polished, looks like silver from a distance, and it is very dazzling.

Seeing the white-robed young general and the cavalry, Liu Yan's face was a little ugly.

Although there were quite a few cavalry on the opposite side, he was impressed by this small number of cavalry, but everyone was in armor. In the previous battle of Dizhou, he was defeated by this cavalry, which he regarded as a great shame.

And the cavalry next to them, although there are a lot of them, but the military appearance is much worse than this silver-armored cavalry.

"Marshal Qiyu, this is the cavalry of the Zuo Shenwu Army of the Imperial Forbidden Army. Although the number of people is not large, everyone wears armor, and the war horse they ride is also a good war horse, which is really difficult. ”

As soon as Liu Yan's words fell, a mocking voice sounded next to him, "Deputy Commander Liu was defeated by this cavalry in Dizhou before!" ”

"The surname is Wang, what do you mean!" Seeing this person making trouble for himself several times, Liu Yan was also angry in his heart.

However, after seeing that Wang Shifan's face was not very good, Liu Yan thought that his family was also surnamed Wang, and hurriedly said, "The marshal forgives the sin, and the last general is not talking about you." ”

Wang Shifan said in a deep voice, "Ben Shuai knows, you command the battle well, Ben Shuai will go home first!" ”

"Congratulations!"

Seeing Wang Shifan leave unhappily, and then seeing the colleague who had been against him, Liu Cheng was also very angry.

But before he could get angry, there was a fierce drum beat outside the city.

The imperial army is attacking the city!

Standing on the city tower, seeing that the imperial army outside the city began to attack the city, Liu Yan also felt nervous, hurriedly walked down and left the city tower, and ordered the soldiers to avoid arrows under the city wall.

Before the siege, there will be several waves of arrows, and this is the norm.

Sure enough, not long after entering within 300 paces, the imperial army stopped, took bows and shot arrows, and for a time dense arrows shot at the city wall.

Liu Yan held a shield and leaned against the battlements, and did not forget to remind the soldiers around him.

Even though the soldiers had been prepared, many soldiers were still shot by sharp arrows when the rain of arrows came. Seeing that someone was hit by an arrow, the people next to him immediately picked up their shields to plug the gap, while the others carried the wounded soldiers aside for treatment.

After a few waves of arrows, the real siege began. Liu Yan threw aside the shield full of arrows in his hand, and carefully stuck his head out of the battlements, watching the enemy's movements.

At first, Liu Yan didn't care, but when he saw the middle of the enemy army, many soldiers pushed six or seven wooden carts towards the city gate.

These wooden carts are very strange, they are covered with wooden planks, and I don't know what is hidden underneath, even if they shoot a sharp arrow, they can't shoot through the planks?

It's a battering ram, but it's too short!

Looking at the wooden cart that was as invulnerable as a turtle shell, Liu Yan's eyelids kept jumping, and he always felt that something was wrong.

Although he blocked the gate with gravel behind it, he always felt a little strange.

Although he didn't know what was under the turtle's shell, since he was covered by so many elites of the imperial army and approached the city gate, he couldn't let the other party get his way.

"Shoot me, throw me, and don't let those cars get near the city gates!"

Although he felt that there was nothing to break through the impregnable Qingzhou City, he still ordered his soldiers to find a way to stop these enemy vehicles.

For a while, under Liu Jun's order, a dense number of arrows were shot over, but they didn't have much effect. Even through the gap, they shot the soldiers holding shields around the vehicles, but soon some people couldn't fill it and continued to move towards the city gate.

As the vehicles crossed the moat and approached the gates, the soldiers on the towers kept throwing logs, stones, and even iron juice downward, but to no avail, and finally pushed the cars under the gates, blocking them.

"Throw it at me! Throw it at me! ”

Liu Yan lifted a stone with great force and threw it down, and then commanded loudly.

"Commander, it's useless!"

"Commander, those enemy troops have run away!"

"Ran away?"

Liu Yan hurriedly looked down, where was there still the figure of the enemy soldiers, the enemy soldiers who had covered the wooden cart to the city gate before ran fast, as if something terrible had happened.

Just when Liu Yan was puzzled, among the enemy soldiers who had retreated, he didn't know who suddenly turned around and came towards the city gate.

"Commander be careful!"

Just when everyone on the city tower thought that the arrow was shooting at Liu Yan, they saw that the arrow fell under the city gate, and the arrow was still on fire.

Just after the first arrow was fired, the enemy soldiers who had run dozens of paces suddenly raised their bows and arrows and shot at the wooden cart at the city gate.

Without exception, they were rockets with arrows wrapped around strips of cloth soaked in fire oil, and after firing these arrows, the soldiers quickly fled into the distance!
