Chapter 232: Victory in the First Round (Second Update)

I saw that the speed of the Liaodong Army's charge was very fast, the shield soldiers lined up in formation, one by one at the expense of life and death rushed to the front, defending the siege army behind them, the city and the city were already flying arrows, wails sounded one after another, and the soldiers on both sides were constantly falling, but the Liaoxi Army on the city obviously occupied a huge advantage in the overlook, and the casualties were much smaller, and the rounds of flying arrows fell from the sky in an orderly manner, harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Liaodong Army like raindrops, especially Li Fei and Li Shang, the two archers, were even more arrows. With one string and three arrows, in just a few moments, the two of them had already shot dozens of soldiers.

When the loss of five or six hundred people, the soldiers of the Liaodong Army finally rushed to the bottom of the city, a long ladder was set up in an instant, the soldiers of the Liaodong Army immediately looked fierce and climbed along the ladder towards the city, but just halfway down, countless stones and rolling logs fell down one after another, and a large piece of stone was killed in an instant.

Yan Rou had an army of 40,000 to defend the city, and with only 5,000 people, he couldn't shake the fortified city of Liaosui at all.

In just a short time, the tentative troops of the Liao Sui army had already suffered heavy losses, and no one could even climb to the top of the city slightly.

However, for this scene, Gongsun Du under the city not only did not get angry, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, five thousand people were just a temptation, and it was impossible to attack it, but being able to approach the city so quickly, and even set up a cloud ladder, already showed that Yan Rou's defense was only like that.

"The army is dispatched" Gongsun Du immediately ordered loudly after staring at him.

"No!"

After the military flag was waved violently, the six phalanxes at the front, more than 15,000 people, rushed towards Liaosui City like a tide, and the fierce shouts of killing resounded in the sky, and the real attack began.

Yan Rou, who had been standing on the head of the city, did not move at all, like a Dinghai god needle, looked at this scene, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and a trace of expectation flashed in her eyes.

"Prepare the Cupola"

"No!"

Twenty cupola cannons were immediately pushed to the edge of the city, and huge boulders were instantly loaded on them.

"What is this?" Gongsun Du looked at the wooden shelves that suddenly appeared, and a trace of doubt flashed on his face.

"Launch" When the Liaodong army approached a distance of two hundred paces, Yan Rou immediately ordered.

"Fire" one of the officers shouted as he drew his sword.

In an instant, twenty cupola cannons were launched at the same time, and after a huge gust of wind sounded, stones larger than basins flew into the air at high speed, and then fell from the sky like meteorites, and smashed fiercely into the Liaodong army formation that was advancing with shields, and instantly smashed a batch of them, and many soldiers were killed on the spot.

"Shoot, shoot, shoot," the general in charge of the cupola commanded in a high-pitched voice.

The boulder suddenly poured down like a shower, the earth was shaking, the dust was flying, the endless Liaodong army was directly smashed to the ground, the shield was shattered, the plasma was constantly splashing, and the endless wail sounded, the tragic scene of being hit by the boulder, the team that charged behind the frightened retreated again and again.

Looking at the messy land, not only the Liaodong Army was shocked, but even the Liaoxi Army defending the city was also dumbfounded, and it was the first time they saw the power of the cupola so intuitively.

Gongsun Du's pupils contracted violently, looking at the flying stones that were still falling in the sky, and asked angrily, "What is it at this time?"

"Master Hou, the last general seems to have heard that when Yuan Xi recovered Yuyang, he used such a thing, which can throw flying stones, I originally thought it was extremely precious, but I didn't expect that there were so many in the Liaoxi Army" A general rushed over in panic.

"Bastard, why don't you report such an important military situation," Gongsun Du roared.

"Master Hou, the enemy army is on guard, do you want to withdraw the troops" Looking at the frightened soldiers, another general hurriedly asked.

Gongsun Du's face was pale, looking at the Liaodong army that was already cheering above the city, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and said: "Continue to attack, but turn it into pieces, I have to see how many means he Yan Rou has."

"No!"

With the issuance of the military order, the frightened soldiers of the Liaodong Army were forced to attack again helplessly under military discipline, but this time they were all scattered and did not assemble at one time, but even so the soldiers were still afraid, and they kept looking at the sky above their heads in fear, fearing that the boulder would fall on top of their heads, and their morale was far less than just now.

"Haha" Yan Rou smiled excitedly and said: "In this way, his Gongsun Du still wants to capture Liaosui City, it's just a dream, order the archers, give a good practice of archery, this is a rare live target"

"No!"

The shield soldiers could not form a formation, the defense of the Liaodong army was immediately greatly reduced, the feather arrows on the city wall shot down again, and the soldiers of the Liaodong army immediately continued to fall, the scene was like cutting wheat, batch after batch, and it was impossible to get close to the city at all.

When some of the shield soldiers were just about to assemble together, the cupola cannon on the head of the city immediately adjusted the direction, and it had been launched again, brutally shattering their ideas, and after the attack lasted for about a quarter of an hour, the Liaodong army, which had lost three or four thousand men, was still unable to approach the city under the attack of flying stones and feather arrows, and the losses were constantly increasing.

"Master Hou, you can't fight anymore, it's just sacrificing soldiers in vain" I saw Yang Yi rushing over from the rear army in a hurry.

After Gongsun Du frowned, he finally sighed and "Collect the troops"

"No!!"

As the piercing golden bell echoed, the soldiers of the Liaodong Army suddenly breathed a deep sigh of relief, the boulder was so terrifying that it quickly retreated like the sea water at low tide.

"O!!" Seeing this scene, a huge cheer resounded above the city.

Xu Shu, who had been firmly guarded, also showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, walked slowly to Yan Rou's side, looked at the face that became serious, and said curiously: "Deputy Marshal, what's wrong?"

Yan Rou sighed and said seriously: "It's too fast, I hope that Gongsun Du can continue to attack, so that he can buy a little more time for Xingba and fight for a little more advantage."

Hearing this, a trace of admiration flashed in Xu Shu's eyes, and he comforted: "Deputy Marshal, don't worry, Xingba will not let you down, now what our army has to do is to closely monitor Gongsun Du's camp, once more than 30,000 people leave, our army will immediately dispatch to directly approach his camp and aid Xingba."

Yan Rou nodded and said, "Judging from the siege of this trial, with the power of the cupola cannon and the current strength of our army, Gongsun Du will definitely not be able to attack if he relies on a strong attack, but such a defense is too passive."

"What the general said is extremely true, the best defense is actually an offense, but the time has not yet come, and Shu is also waiting for the news of my Youzhou spy personnel" A cold light flashed in Xu Shu's eyes, although Yuan Xi did not send troops, he did hand over all the black devil personnel arranged in Liaodong to Xu Shu.

"Have you already sent someone?" Yan Rou hurriedly asked.

"I already set off two days ago, and the spy arranged by Hou Ye is really terrifying, and even such news is clear," Xu Shu said with a smile.

"How sure are you?" Yan Rou said with concern.

"Forty percent, maybe less, but it's better than nothing, if it can be successful, the third-line defense of the Liaohe River outside Liaosui will be self-defeating, all of them are Gongsun Du's internal and external difficulties, and they will definitely fail" Xu Shu looked into the distance with cold eyes.
