The next day, the camp was busy, the miscellaneous soldiers and logistics team were busy making long ladders and other equipment in the camp, Gao Yihuan was busy making a register to boost morale, and Zhao Daxian led a team of killers with several sentries to practice the formation of the siege.

In the early morning of the siege day, the sky was white, and the camps of the army outside Shangqiu City sounded the war drums of "Dong Dong Dong".

After the second brother gave the brothers involved in the siege a full meal, he led his subordinates out of the camp and lined up.

The elite soldiers of the old battalion also lined up in formation, and set up a high watchtower outside the northern city to observe and direct the siege battle.

Outside the northern city, the elite soldiers of the rear battalion gathered like ants, putting huge pressure on the defenders of the city, but they did not participate in the siege, and only after the second brother opened the city gate, they would enter the city to snatch the results.

The second brother, Liu Heizi, and the captain surnamed Chen, about 2,000 people stood in front of the army.

When the lieutenant surnamed Chen saw Gao Yihuan's men, he glanced at Gao Yihuan from time to time, with a fierce look in his eyes.

At this time, Li Guo was not on the watchtower, he led dozens of cavalry and went around under Shangqiu City.

In fact, since the siege of the city, Li Guo has a basic understanding of the situation in Shangqiu City, but before attacking the city, he still has to personally investigate it.

Shangqiu City has some history, it is the land of the ancient Song Dynasty, only near Kaifeng, it is very prosperous, the city is three zhang high, the head of the city can accommodate three carriages in parallel, it is a big city.

At this time, although Liu Liangzuo fled, the city wall was still secretly full of figures, and the young and brave people who defended the city were holding bows and arrows, vigilant but somewhat uneasy to watch the intrusive army outside the city.

"General, the ministries are ready, just waiting for your order." One of the generals galloped on horseback and clenched his fists in return.

Li Guo looked at the sky, then immediately pulled the reins of his horse, ran back to the big array, and then got into the lookout car.

He looked at the men and horses attacking the city in front of him, and his eyes fell on the body of Gao Yihuan on the right. Chen Baoping's department next to him carried several long ladders, and the soldiers of Gao Yihuan's department, in addition to having ladders, also held wooden boards, and the soldiers had a square table on their heads, and even wore cotton quilts, with a lot of patterns.

The intrusive army often drove the displaced people to attack the city, and did not accidentally surround the casualties of men and horses, so it was rare to see such battles.

Li Guo couldn't help but smile when he saw it, and waved his hand: "Let's start!" ”

Looking at the flag officer on the car, he immediately waved the red flag when he heard the order, and a row of drummers below saw the order and waved the drum vigorously, and the drum sound of "dong dong dong" slowly sounded.

The low and powerful drum beat made the defenders at the head of the city feel a pang in their hearts, and their eyelids and heartbeats involuntarily beat with it.

Gao Yihuan held a shield in one hand and pulled out a knife in the other, and was about to give an order, when Chen Baoping next to him suddenly roared when the drum sounded, "Give Lao Tzu a rush." ”

Before the second brother could react, he saw Chen Baoping like holding back a soak of urine, leading nearly a thousand people and horses to kill towards the city like a tide, and Liu Heizi on the other side also roared urgently, "Turtle grandchildren, kill!" ”

The second brother Gao watched the two teams scramble to be the first to pounce on the people and horses in the city, and his face was slightly stunned, "Mother, they rushed away." ”

Chen Duwei and Liu Heizi obviously wanted to fight for merit, but after the second brother was surprised, he scolded in his heart, two stupid birds, they started to run so far away from the city, and when the city corporal ran out of strength, they attacked the city with a fart.

"Brothers, rush with me and take precautions!" The second brother calmly pointed the knife forward, and slowly pressed his subordinates down to the city.

Li Guo, who was looking at the car, couldn't help but say something to the horse next to him, and then looked at Gao Yihuan.

At this time, the men and horses besieging the city, in fact, there is no discipline, even if it is the three hundred soldiers of the second brother Gao, most of them are a mess, and the men and horses he can really rely on are actually only fifty or sixty, but fortunately, most of the defenders in the city are young and strong people who have not been on the battlefield, not official soldiers, and there is no discipline in defense.

Chen Baoping's men and horses galloped all the way and first arrived at the moat. Because of the drought, there was no water in the moat, but in some places there were patches of thin mud, and many people and horses carrying ladders just rushed to the riverbed, and they fell into the thin mud, and the speed slowed down instantly.

Liang Yizhang, who was dressed in an official robe on the city, saw the thieves approaching the city wall, and immediately pulled out his sword, pointed at the thieves passing through the riverbed, and roared angrily: "Kill the thief! ”

The young men and volunteers who defended the city drew their bows and arrows one after another, and shot a rain of arrows at the city, killing Chen Baoping's people one after another.

On the other side, Liu Heizi learned from the second brother of high school, and also prepared some wooden boards and wooden cards, and the situation was slightly better.

The second brother is very shameful about Liu Heizi's behavior of stealing teachers, but there is no way, after all, there is no law to control this stubble.

On the head of the city, arrows continued to shoot down, and occasionally there were firecrackers, raising a cloud of white smoke, and after the second brother led the soldiers slowly to the shooting range, he suddenly accelerated his speed and ran towards the city wall, and then erected the wooden sign on the side of the moat, forming a simple wooden wall, and let Wu Shizhao lead Huang San and a group of archers to hide behind and shoot arrows at the head of the city.

There is no rule between the breaking army and the defending army, and whoever has order and can form a cooperation at this time will have a greater chance of winning.

At this time, the city was up and down, the arrows were intertwined, and many arrows were quickly inserted in the wooden wall, and the second brother Gao saw that he was attacking this section of the city wall, which was suppressed by Huang San, so he immediately swept off the arrow shaft on the rattan card, and the knife pointed forward, "Siege ladder, come with me." ”

Nearly 100 soldiers rushed out from behind the wooden walls, carrying wooden planks, ladders, square tables, and quilts.

The soldiers carrying the planks were in front, laying the planks on the mud, and the soldiers were shot by arrows from the city one after another, and the second brother hurriedly led the men and horses through the riverbed quickly.

The second brother said before the battle that if he won the first merit, then he only needed the official rank of captain, and the five hundred taels of silver would be distributed to the meritorious soldiers.

At this time, when the second brother's people just approached the city wall, Chen Baoping and Liu Heizi's people had already erected ladders and began to climb and siege the city, and because they approached the city wall first, they naturally attracted more firepower from the defenders, and the climbing soldiers were constantly smashed down the city wall by the defenders.

Gao Yihuan was under the left section of the city wall of the northern city, he held a shield with arrows in one hand, and waved his knife to direct Zhao Zhuzi and others who were carrying ladders to rush to the city.

At this time, there was a chaotic shot down at the head of the city, and the second brother waved his knife to block, but the soldiers carrying the ladder behind were shot three people, and they immediately fell to the ground with a wail.

The second brother Gao's eyes were red, and as soon as he threw away the rattan card, he took the ladder with one hand and carried the ladder to the bottom of the city, and immediately shouted loudly, "The ladder is erected!" ”

Zhao Zhuzi and others were busy holding the ladder and hanging the hook at the top on the city bricks to ensure that the ladder would not be easily overturned.

As soon as the ladder was fixed, a man bit the war knife with his mouth, and climbed with a rattan card, but after a while, he was smashed down by the defenders of the city.

The arrows in the city kept shooting, but although the second brother had no armor, they were on the square table and covered with wet quilts, and the casualties were not large.

"General, this kid can be promoted!" Ma Chongxu looked at the siege situation, Liu Heizi and Chen Baoping fought in a mess, only the second brother Gao was quite disciplined, and knew that he would go down the wooden wall first, suppress the city head with bows and arrows, and then attack the city.

When he was on the bank of the Suishui River, he noticed the team of the second brother of the high school, and now he sees that it is indeed different, and his face leaks with appreciation.

"This person does have some talents, but he is unlucky, I can only give him a captain, and what happens in the future depends on his own creation."

The army is also a time when there is a shortage of talents, and it stands to reason that Gao Yihuan should be reused, but Li Guo remembers that when Li Yan recommended Gao Yihuan to Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng's displeased look, Gao Yihuan wants to get ahead in the army, at least twice as difficult as others.

Under the city, the soldiers who climbed up to the city were constantly knocked down by the stones at the head of the city, burned by the gold juice, and fell down the ladder screaming.

Gao Yihuan looked at the pain in his flesh, and in a hurry, he took another rattan card from his subordinates, holding a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and climbed along the ladder rubbingly, Zhao Zhuzi didn't hold him, so he could only follow in a hurry.

"The captain is in town!" Wu Shizhao saw Gao Yihuan's slightly chubby figure, and crawled towards the city flexibly, feeling anxious, "Huang San, look at the shot, cover the captain." ”

Huang Sanzhang took an arrow with a bow, and a defender who had just lifted a stone was shot by an arrow, and the stone was missed, and the man fell from the city with a scream.

Several other archers also fired arrows at the top of Gao Yihuan's head and the defenders on both sides, and the second brother suddenly felt a light pressure, climbed up the wall battlement, and one of the defenders immediately stabbed with a spear.

The second brother has practiced for a few months, and he still has some ability, which is stronger than these strong men who have never fought.

When he saw the spear coming, he used his shield to block the spear, and then at the moment when the defenders collected the spear, he threw the ton's card directly and threw it at the man, and while he was blocking, he jumped on the city wall, rolled his body, and cut him to the ground with a knife.

When the soldiers below the city saw it, they cheered, and then Zhao Zhuzi also jumped from the ladder to the city wall, and the cheers suddenly surged.

Liu Heizi and Chen Baoping, who were in the distance, heard the cheers, their faces couldn't help but change, and their eyes instantly turned red......
