Chapter 616: Shield Array
The small city was not large, and the fire that ignited in the Xicheng military camp soon became known to the whole city. The defenders on the walls only had to look back at the city to see the raging fire, and everyone knew that it was the granary and the barracks of supplies, and they couldn't help but be worried.
In the city lord's mansion, General Alajiang's military meeting had just ended, and he was tired and was lying on the recliner in the back house to accept two ** with beautiful maids. His pressure is also quite high, and after returning from the rescue of the city, he knows that his next target is his own Motuo City. So after retreating into the city, he racked his brains to prepare for all the battles.
First of all, with the permission of the general of Kamigawa, he collected more than 10,000 remnants of the castle under his command to help defend the city. Next, he vigorously mobilized troops and horses to eradicate all the grass and trees on the stone slope leading to the stone beam of the city of Metuo, turned the long hillside into a smooth bald stone field, strengthened the number of archers in the dark fortress, and blocked the passage of the ** attack. Although various measures have been taken, Alajiang also claims that this city is an iron wall, and it will never be able to be attacked. But having said that, the overwhelming ** in the valley is eyeing the attack at any time, how can he not be afraid.
The general of the Shenchuan Metropolitan has a message, and the city of Motuo cannot be lost, if the city of Motuo is lost, let Alajiang come to see him. Of course, Alajiang didn't want to raise his head to see him, this Enaergu general, the new general of Shenchuan Capital, broke through the stone castle city in the north, and he is currently in the limelight, and he is also a difficult master to serve, so it is better not to take chances.
The topic of tonight's meeting is to find a way to strengthen the inventory of the detailed work in the city, so as to prevent the best fine work from mixing into the city and causing chaos. Because the war report from the west penetrated the ears of Alajiang. It is said that the Qionglong Silver City was broken by the Tang Anxi Army, and that city was also a strong city, and there were many soldiers and horses. But it was carefully touched into the city by the Tang people, and was taken by the inside and outside. Therefore, Alajiang feels that it is necessary to strictly prevent the intrusion of the best people, and from now on, it is necessary to check the soldiers and civilians in the city every morning and evening, and strengthen the inspection of the city to prevent the intrusion of the fine work.
However, although the subordinate generals said that they were no, they all felt that it was unnecessary. For the city lord's frightened bird state, the generals showed disdain. Someone even said half-jokingly and half-sarcastically: "Does the city lord think that all the Tang people are heavenly soldiers and generals?" The cliffs on both sides are steep, and there is a large canyon across it. There are also several beacon sentry posts on the peaks on both sides, and even a bird can't go up to the mountain beam. Not to mention going into town. ”
The generals laughed together, and this laughter was disdain for Alajiang's proposal. The key is that according to the city lord, checking the identities of the military and civilians in the city every day and strengthening vigilance and inspections will greatly increase the burden on the generals. No one wants to do this kind of errand, it's complicated and time-consuming, and who wants to do it.
So tonight's meeting was noisily withdrawn for a long time, and in the end, the generals agreed to agree, but they didn't decide who would do it, and Ajiang was also angry because he was sarcastically said a few words by his subordinates.
The maid's gentle fingers bounced on Alajiang's fat body, little by little, the fire in Alajiang's stomach and the exhaustion on his body were played clean like playing a pipa, and a trace of fire was raised in Alajiang's body. Alajiang squinted at the young and scented bodies of the two maids beside him, slowly set up a tent under him, stretched out his hand to grab the delicate palm of a maidservant girl and began to rub it.
The servant girl wanted to welcome and refused, struggling slightly. It's not that they really have to struggle, but they all know that the city lord general doesn't like others to be too obedient, and the more he struggles, the happier the city lord becomes. So in order to cater to the hobby of the city lord general, they also learned this hand.
The temperature in the room began to rise, and the entanglement between Alajiang and the two maidservants had reached a white-hot stage, and Alajiang had already taken off half of the maid's clothes, revealing her white trembling breasts. Another maidservant had also stripped off her clothes and sat on Alajiang's lap. At this moment, the sound of panicked footsteps shattered it all in an instant. The door was pushed open suddenly, and Alajiang's deputy general of the guard broke in breathlessly.
The two maidservants exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly covered their clothes, and hid behind the screen like frightened birds, Alajiang's face was full of anger, and he hurriedly sorted out his clothes, and shouted: "What are you doing?" Looking for death? ”
"Death to death, death. The humiliation was not intentional, it was because something big had happened. The deputy general of the guard hurriedly bowed and said.
"What's the matter?" Alajan was also startled by his panicked tone.
"The barracks of the Xicheng granary are on fire, and the fire is burning very much,...... It's huge. The lieutenant shouted.
"Huh?" Alajiang seemed to have been stung by a scorpion, his body trembled, and his face changed drastically.
He strode out of the door and into the courtyard, glanced at the western sky, and hurriedly called out, "Bring the ladder, quick, go up to the room and see." ”
The adjutant brought a ladder, and Alajiang quickly climbed up to the roof along the ladder. Through the treetops, he saw the fire rising to the west, and he heard the voices of people in the street. Alajiang scolded angrily and said: "Meticulous, it must be meticulous, I have a premonition, but these idiots still think I am making a big fuss today." ”
Alajiang quickly got down the ladder, and the adjutant general asked, "General, do you want to go and see for yourself?" General Gesang had already taken people to put out the fire. ”
"Save the fart. Quickly order him to come back, and give the order that all the generals and soldiers who defend the city must not leave their posts without permission, and all of them will immediately go to the city to be on guard. **Carefully enter the city to make trouble, outside the city**How can you not take the opportunity to attack the city? Give me a change of clothes and put on me, and I will personally go to the city to supervise the battle. ”
Before the words were finished, the footsteps outside the second entrance were knocking, and a general rushed in with great strides, shouting in his mouth: "City Lord, the big thing is not good, ** has taken action, it seems that the siege has begun." ”
……
As soon as the fire in the city was blazing, the ** battalion, which was paying close attention to the situation in the city, got the news as soon as possible. A few soldiers climbed up the ridge at the back of the valley to observe the situation in the city. Their duty is only to spot the fire. Therefore, when the sky-high fire burned in the city, they immediately lit torches and shook them to let the soldiers in the camp know, and reported the news to Song Jiangong and Li Mi and others.
Tens of thousands of ** had already been fully equipped and had been quietly staying in the camp, and they were told to launch an attack at any time, just waiting for an order from above.
In advance, he agreed with Wang Yuan to launch an attack with the fire as the signal, and at this time, he learned that the fire was rising in the city, and all the generals knew that the marshal had been launched in the city. Song Jiangong gave the order to attack loudly, and tens of thousands of ** lit torches and drove to the bottom of the stone slope.
At the forefront of the team was not Jiannan's soldiers and horses, but Ge Luofeng's soldiers and horses. For the safety of Ah Luo and Wang Yuan, Ge Luofeng did not retain his strength anymore, and this time he took out his secret weapon. It's not a secret to say that it's not a secret, he once took it out once when he was fighting with Datang, and that time also made Song Jiangong suffer. That was the giant vine shield array of the Nanzhao Kingdom
If this mountain beam is to be attacked, it will have to withstand the attacks of thousands of archers in several hidden fortresses, and although the large shield of ** can be blocked, it is far less effective than the giant vine shield of Nanzhao Kingdom. The rattan shield can not only block the arrows fired from all directions in a large area, but also give the ** in the rear a chance to counterattack.
Only ten giant rattan shields are lined up in front of him, which can basically block most of the arrows. And compared with the ** big wooden shield, the giant rattan shield also has the advantage of fire prevention. Although they are made of vines, these vines are unique to the forests of Nanzhao Mountain, and they are dense and elastic. And all are soaked. When soaked in water, it becomes hard and non-flammable. The exterior is smeared with clay to form a fireproof barrier. The arrow hit the rattan shield and was most likely bounced off. Even if it is stuck in the shield, it will not burn immediately. Unlike the big wooden shield of **, once it is shot by a rocket, the shield will soon burn, and the effect is much worse.
The offensive soon began, with layers of rattan shields lined up at the bottom of the hillside, followed by dense ** soldiers. They slowly moved up the smooth stone slope, like a long dragon with armor scales on top of it. Soon after, they came within range of the first bunker. At the sound of an order, arrows rained down from above, covering the entire ** offensive formation.
There were still a lot of casualties, but they were much smaller than expected, and the effect of the vine shield was obvious, covering a large number of arrows, only exposing flaws in the gaps and sides, so that many people died under the arrows.
Seeing that the effect of the rattan shield block arrow is excellent, the morale is greatly boosted, and the speed of the attack is gradually increasing. The soldiers charged up the rocky slope, quickly approaching the first line of defense of the bunker.
