Chapter 260: Fierce Battle
This Pakistani army, which suddenly appeared at the north gate of Xiaoling, was naturally led by Gan Xingba, one of the three commanders of Pakistan.
It is also a coincidence, because the battle between the army led by Li Keyong and the Xunzhou army in Wuxian County was too close.
Gan Xingba pondered and took the opportunity to make a surprise attack on Cili, if Cili could be captured, the territory they occupied in Zhenzhou would be able to expand outward again.
It's just that before he came to Cili, he learned a new news.
Xiaoling was actually captured by the Light Dynasty again.
Immediately, Gan Xingba decided to take advantage of the unstable situation of the enemy army to attack Xiaoling.
Therefore, there was a scene of dividing troops to feint and attack Qingfeng Town.
In fact, all the main forces of Gan Xingba have quietly touched the city of Xiaoling.
After this army had gained a foothold at the north gate of the tomb, there was no pause, and the drums of the attack rumbled.
The next moment, these soldiers pushed the crashed car and carried the ladder straight to Xiaoling.
There are also some catapults outside the city, which are not short to throw boulders towards the city.
The siege battle that began in an instant caught the defenders at the head of the city off guard.
When Yang Feng saw this scene, he looked at the nearly 5,000 people outside the city and compared the defenders at the head of his own city.
In addition to the three hundred people led by himself, there were three or four hundred people who were strong men of the squire's rich family, and these were also able to fight, and in addition to more than two hundred people, they mobilized the people in the city to come to help.
This is less than a thousand people, and it can be said that Yang Feng has all the soldiers who can be mobilized.
And these soldiers are undoubtedly recruits or village warriors who cannot be called soldiers.
It seemed very difficult to expect these people to resist the five thousand well-armed soldiers outside the city.
But all Yang Feng could do was to resist desperately.
Immediately, Yang Feng laughed and said: "Grandpa Guo's expectation is good, they came to attack the city just after leaving the city, and now they fell into Grandpa Guo's scheme, and when Grandpa Guo led his troops to attack, it was when they were defeated." All of them are ready to defend the city. ”
Yang Feng's words were naturally to comfort these soldiers and the righteous soldiers who didn't know the specific situation.
And when Nan Ke and the others will be able to support them, Yang Feng is not clear.
Therefore, he needs to seal the city gate at the first time, and only in this way can he rely on the strong city to defend it.
Randomly, Yang Feng sent people to seal the city gate.
Soon the righteous men in the city piled up the collected stones behind the city gate, and in addition to piling up many tables, chairs and benches, in short, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking the city from the city gate, they first blocked the city gate.
Because of the large number of people, this was done quickly.
At this time, the catapult outside the city was still firing stones unhurriedly.
Some of the stones flew into the city, directly smashing some houses.
At this time, a righteous man who was blocking the door saw that his house was smashed in an instant, so he scolded: "his grandmother, Lao Tzu has no grievances with them, and he dares to destroy my house!" If you don't give them some color to take a look at it today, he won't know how powerful Brother Erniu is in Xiaoling. ”
Saying that, Brother Erniu picked up the weapon assigned to him by Yang Feng and was about to rush to the city.
When he rushed to the top of the city, he was stopped by the soldiers above.
"The head of the city is very dangerous, I didn't ask you to go to the city to support, you just need to help prepare the rolling stones and golden soup under the city."
"Those barbarians smashed Lao Tzu's house, and Lao Tzu wants to fight with them." Brother Er Niu shouted.
"Yes, my house was also smashed by them, let us also come to help!" Another shouted.
Hearing the dispute here, Yang Feng rushed over when he heard the news, and after inquiring about the situation, he called Wang Lun and said: "Everyone is in high spirits to participate in the war, but you can't let them go to the city on their own like this, these people are all handed over to you." You go and sift through it, and put some brave people into a team! As a second party, let them fight in the city when needed. ”
Wang Lun, who had already changed into a long shirt and put on armor, responded with a "promise" when he heard this, and led Erniu and others down to the city, as well as to select those who dared to fight.
And these righteous men also have temporary armor and weapons that have been issued.
After all, in the previous battle with the Pakistani army, there were many enemies killed and captured, and the original equipment of the Pakistani army naturally became Nanke's trophies.
When they were able to use it, they were given to them again.
Of course, in order to distinguish the difference between them and the Ba army, they also followed Wang Lun's example before tying some strips of dark cloth to their arms.
While the fierce eagle army was actively preparing for war, the Pakistani army attacking the city outside the city was also getting closer and closer to them.
Knowing that they had entered the range of the city, the fierce eagle army, which was hiding behind the moat, hurriedly attacked them with bows and crossbows.
After each shot, they quickly hid behind the mound, recovering and expanding, mounted crossbow bolts and continued to shoot towards the castle.
The child has become their best protection.
The moat is also known as the tooth wall, which is the raised low wall at the head of the city, which is used to protect the soldiers. The external one is called the childish wall, and the internal one is called the female wall.
Even if the bow and crossbow at the head of the city have a certain suppressive effect on the attack of the Pakistani army, the number of enemies is too much.
And there were few defenders at the head of the city, so it didn't take long for the enemy army to stay under the city as promised, and still build a ladder.
The soldiers who pushed and crashed the car went straight to the city gate, and crashed into the city gate of Xiaoling again and again.
When they stormed the city gate, they were also attacked by the flying stones of the Eagle Army.
Gradually, as more and more ladders were built on the top of the city, everyone had no time to care about the crashing cars that continued to crash into the city gates, but focused on the strength to deal with the ladders.
Some of the ladders were overturned with spears by the soldiers at the head of the city as soon as they were erected.
Then the soldiers under the city continued to build ladders.
The ladders that had not had time to be pushed away were already full of soldiers, and they quickly climbed towards the city.
In the face of these soldiers, the defenders at the head of the city could only smash the opposing rolling stones down fiercely, and some of them carried boiling golden soup and poured it on their heads.
With these rolling stones and golden soup blocking, the speed of the Pakistani army's climb to the top of the city was finally slowed down.
But even so, gradually some people climbed up to the top of the city and fought with the defenders at the head of the city.
Yang Feng, who is in charge of command, can only act as the captain of the firefight, and will pounce on the place where the enemy is attacking the most fiercely at any time.
As more and more soldiers climbed the city, Yang Feng had to send people to summon Wang Lun and other second echelons to the city to join the battle.
In this way, the battle at the head of the city became more and more fierce.
Another battle outside the city continued, and the intensity of the tragedy continued.
Although the enemy was outnumbered, these soldiers of the Light Dynasty showed no sign of retreating.
As they fought, a small group appeared in the distance, watching the scene.
The first person is none other than Li Cunxiao (An Jingsi), who is riding a flame horse.
