Chapter 122: The Fall of the Star [5]
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
The elite army of the bamboo flying ladder, carrying a big knife has made a starting shape, waiting for the cloud ladder troops to move forward slowly, when the cloud echelon is still three zhang away from the city wall, the commander ordered, hundreds of bamboo flying ladder elite troops let out an earth-shattering roar, started to run wildly, and the bamboo flying ladder behind their waist was also supported by five strong men to take off.
"Change the fork rod!" At the moment when Cen Peng and Ma Wu's military orders sounded, the enemy's ladder had already buckled on the city wall, and the elite army of the bamboo ladder was walking on the city wall like a gecko with the support of their waists.
People who have never joined the army don't know what a fork pole is? Even some people who don't know how to pretend to understand will laugh at the enemy army for already using crowd tactics to climb the city wall, and at this time there is no need to smash stones and rolling logs down, and they deserve to die?
For these ignorant people, people usually complain that they are self-conscious. The fork pole is a magic weapon specially used to defend the enemy army from climbing the city wall, it is in the shape of a flying goose-shaped horizontal blade, similar to the crescent shovel, the only difference is that the tail does not have an axe-like handle, instead of a two-zhang long wooden stick.
When the enemy army climbed the city wall, the fork pole in the hands of the defenders of Wancheng became a sluice knife to harvest human lives, lifting and falling again and again, creating severed limbs and broken corpses in one place.
In addition to the setback of the attack of the cloud echelon, the current situation of the elite army of the bamboo flying ladder is not optimistic, among them, the people who climbed the city wall first, because they did not get help were consumed alive, and those who failed to climb the city wall were also resisted by the horizontal blade of the fork pole against the flying ladder, in the face of other fork poles rushing in front of them, they jumped off the wall and died nine lives, and if they did not jump, they died ten deaths.
When it comes to offensive and defensive equipment, the two sides are about the same. In terms of numbers, the Green Forest Alliance Army was several times larger than the Wancheng defenders, but the Green Forest Alliance Army first dispatched catapults and then used Linchong cars and wooden curtain cars, and finally let the bamboo flying ladder and cloud ladder go up together, but it still overturned, and the number of dead and wounded before and after had exceeded 10,000.
The generals of the three armies of Zhutiandu, Xuanjia, and Xinshi all had black faces, and Jia Fu, Chen Jun, and Liu Ji even went out to ask for battle, wanting to earn back the lost face.
"The defenders of Wancheng are fully prepared, and if they continue to attack, they will only lose both, let the army retreat first, and then we will think about it in the long run." The nominal boss of the Green Forest Alliance Army is Liu Xuan, although Liu Yan's direction of thinking is correct, but he has the element of acting as a substitute for Liu Xuan. Among the people present, except for Chen Jun and Liu Ji, no one supported Liu Yan's decision.
Liu Yan was furious in his heart, he thought that he was better than Liu Xuan in all aspects, but the whole world seemed to be against him again, and he really couldn't figure out why everyone chose such a waste person to be the coach?
Is Liu Xuan a waste material???
People who don't know Liu Xuan will think that he is a puppet who can only have fun, but those who know Liu Xuan will say that he is a villain who knows how to forbear. During the time when Liu Xuan served as the first general, he first quietly discovered and supported Zong Tong to ascend to the throne, and then quietly discovered Hu Yin, Shen Tujian, and Yin Zun, and recently he even quietly got the main general of the Xinshi Army: "Zhu Kun".
Liu Xuan is still playing the role of the first general with a low IQ as always, he gives full play to his acting skills, any decision seems to be with the team, but in fact it is to consume the strength of the friendly army, and repeatedly emphasizes that everyone chooses it, it must be right.
Liu Yan has never been compromised, and no one insisted on his decision-making, so he chose not to play, and stood on the side with his army to watch this group of stupid birds laugh at himself, while thinking about how to take Wancheng without blood.
Since ancient times, the best way to attack any important military town, in addition to using human lives, is to rebel against the city's sergeant clan or the main generals in the army.
By this time, the sky had already darkened, and both the enemy and us had already withdrawn their troops and were making arrangements for another battle the next day.
In a certain handsome tent in the military camp, there were soldiers who sent the existing scholars and generals in Wancheng in a pile. Liu Yan took Liu Ji to prepare to spend all night screening out the scholars who could be used for themselves, but who knew that there would be a harvest at the beginning.
This scholar family is the Li family, which is the Li Tong and Li Zhi families who were cheated by Liu Yan and Liu Xiu in the early years and signed the nomination certificate.
At first, Liu Yan wondered if he was mistaken, the world was already so chaotic, why did the Li family dare to seek skin with the tiger?
The next day, when the scouts sent the verified information, Liu Yan confirmed that the Li family really dared to seek skin with the tiger.
With a breakthrough point, it's much easier to make a plan. Liu Yan wants to stage a bloodless and terrifying battle for Wancheng to prove that he is the preferred task of the leader of the Green Forest Alliance, but the dream is always beautiful, and the reality is always cruel, the Li family ignored Liu Yan at all, and even imprisoned the messenger he sent, saying that he would not let people leave until the battle situation became clear.
Liu Yan's whole person is fried, the Li family can't be used by him, can't bring him meritorious service, and it's useless to keep it.
As the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, love is not in charge, righteousness is not financial management, and kindness is not an official. Liu Yan's heart is also a big demon king, he used the dead man to deliberately leak the Li family's name certificate to the Wancheng defenders, Cen Peng and Ma Cheng got the name letter, and decided on the spot that Ma Cheng would defend the city, and Cen Peng led people to level the Li family.
The background of the Li family is Li Shou, the father of Li Tong, who was the master of the dynasty, and Li Tong has also served as a general of Wuwei under the guidance of his father in the past two years, and then served as a county governor of Wuxian County. According to normal operation, even if the Li family has an official position to protect them, even if they are guilty, Cen Peng must also present the evidence to the imperial court, and wait for the emperor Wang Mang to send someone to arrest him, but Cen Peng believes that the general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, and he will copy the Li family with the soldiers. At first, the Li family was still trying to muddy the water and buy time for Li Shou, the patriarch of Chang'an, to deal with it, but who knew that Cen Peng didn't follow the rules at all, and he started arresting them when they met.
Young people can bear this kind of thing, it's not called young people.,The two sides went from quarreling to fighting each other in just a moment.。。
Obviously, the Li family underestimated the authority of the general in the troubled times, Cen Peng took the soldiers, regardless of men, women, and children, and killed people when they saw them, and the Li family had nearly 100 people, only Li Yi, Li Song, Li Qian, Li Chong, Li Xun, and Li Ji The six brothers barely killed out of the Li Mansion and found a corner to hide.
Loved ones are dead, and the family is ruined! Li Yi was always angry in his heart, and he was going to assassinate Cen Peng with an iron gun, and the rest of the Li family brothers also responded to go with him, only Li Ji blocked the entrance of the cave and shouted loudly: "You are also sent to death if you go, and the top priority is to find a way to leave and complete, and go to your uncle and brother to avenge the clansmen." ”
