Quick, push the ladder away"

"Roll the wood, roll the stone, quickly drop the rolling wood and go down."

Seeing the enemy landing in the city, the low-level officers of the government soldiers at the head of the city hurriedly shouted loudly, the government military system of the Great Sui has only been established for two years, and Wanrong County does not belong to the border pass, most of the government soldiers have no combat experience, and when they see the enemy rushing up with a hideous face, they can't help but be afraid, and some people even subconsciously want to turn around and run away, fortunately, most of those grassroots officers have participated in one or two battles, and under their desperate urging, these recruits have stabilized their positions.

The huge rolling log fell from the city wall several zhang high, and before it landed, the wind brought up by the giant wood whistled down, and the Puzhou army in mid-air made all kinds of strange screams, and hid one after another, although they were cavalry, they carried out a lot of siege battles, and it was difficult for such a counterattack at the head of the city to pose a threat to them.

"Bang." The fallen giant tree smashed to the ground, splashing countless dust.

"Click, click." Although the people dodged, the ladders on the city wall were inevitably hit by huge trees and stones, and several of the ladders that were not of good quality had cracked, and then broke into two, and the Puzhou army who was on the ladder screamed and fell to the ground.

"Ah" when the government soldiers threw the rolling wood under the city, they didn't want to lean out too much, but they were shot by an arrow by the Puzhou army under the city, and fell down from the city, bang, bang fell under the city wall, the arrows on both sides came and went, and some of the arrows hit sparks in the air, and the number of government soldiers in the city was dominant, and they were condescending, but they couldn't raise their heads.

A Puzhou soldier deftly dodged the rolling log thrown from his head, and one turned over and stood at the head of the city of Wanrong County, wiping a single knife from the neck of a panicked government soldier, and with a "bang" sound, blood flowed out of the neck of the government soldier, and the government soldier's mouth made a ho, ho sound. Crashed down on the city.

"Hooray! Banzai! Seeing one person climb the city wall, the Puzhou army under the city let out a tsunami-like cheer, and more people began to follow behind and rush up, "Kill!" Several Puzhou soldiers held a single knife, stabbed at their spears, and killed several people in a row, and the soldiers next to the ladder were all shocked, and began to retreat step by step, and a gap was suddenly opened in the city.

Miao Meng was anxious: "Resist." Drive them down. rushed forward with a few of his usually best-connected cronies, but in just a moment, several cronies had fallen in a pool of blood, and even he himself was killed step by step. At the head of the city, even an ordinary sergeant on the other side could not defeat him.

Yang Yong led three hundred guards to stand behind the city tower to watch, these people stayed here to prepare to recuperate, and wait for the other party to attack the city and then go out of the city to determine the victory in one fell swoop, but this must have a premise. That is, the government soldiers alone can block the opponent's siege, Yang Yong naturally did not dare to pin his hopes entirely on the government soldiers, and all these guards were also ready to participate in the battle at any time.

"Your Highness. The enemy is coming! Liu Hu reminded beside him.

Although Yang Yong thought that the soldiers might not be able to stop the opponent's attack, he didn't expect that the city wall would encounter a crisis so quickly. In my heart, I was secretly glad that I had replaced most of my guards from the valley, and saw that dozens of Pu troops had already gone up to the city wall. Yang Yong knew he couldn't wait any longer. He turned around and said, "Qu Aiqing, you take a hundred guards to drive them down first." ”

"Yes."

Qu Tutong waved his hand back. A hundred prepared guards strode forward, followed Qu Tutong, and rushed towards the section of the city wall that had been broken through by the Puzhou army.

Liu Hu and Duan Da were very envious of Qu Tutong, and they were also eager to try, but without Yang Yong's permission, they had to stand honestly behind the city tower and watch the battle.

"Get out of the way! Flash away. A hundred guards armed with spears, lined up in a tight formation, as if a torrent of steel, crushed forward, shouting loudly as they walked, but unfortunately some of the panicked soldiers who were chased by the Puzhou army still bumped into them first, and they were immediately skewered into meat skewers.

"Ahh The screams of the companions in front finally alerted the underworld soldiers behind, and they hurriedly flashed to the side and moved out of the way.

Dozens of Puzhou troops at the head of the city are trying their best to expand the foothold on the city wall, chasing and killing the government soldiers around them crying dad and shouting mother, suddenly the front is empty, the enemy is all separated on both sides, the Puzhou army is overjoyed, is about to pursue, saw a forest of guns run over, can't help but be stunned, what is this?

"Kill!" The two armies fought, so let you be in a daze, just when the Puzhou army was delayed, the spear team composed of a hundred guards had already leaned over, raised their guns, and in an instant, the Puzhou army in front found that the left and right fronts were full of gun shadows, and they could only retreat backwards, and those who retreated a little slower were immediately stabbed into holes.

Bang on the ground. There was a thumping of footsteps, and the gun continued to run forward.

"Retreat, retreat!" The Puzhou army in front shouted with a crying voice, facing such a tight ground

Except for the archers in the distance, the single sword in their hands could not constitute any slaughtered life, but the sergeants who climbed up behind could not figure out the situation for a while, and desperately squeezed forward, so that the people in front could not retreat.

"Kill!" The retracted spear stabbed forward again, and the seven or eight Puzhou soldiers who had no time to retreat could only watch as the opponent's spear pierced holes in their bodies, blood splattered out, and then their eyes turned black and they fell.

The Puzhou army that climbed up soon found that they had to face a forest of guns, if they did not retreat, they could only become the souls of the guns under the guns, many people did not have time to go down from the ladder, they had to jump off the wall, and did not hesitate to break their legs and feet, and soon the Puzhou army on the city wall was cleaned up, leaving only more than 20 corpses with holes all over the body, and the government soldiers behind were greatly shaken, and took the opportunity to reoccupy the city, and desperately smashed all kinds of rolling logs and stones to the city, and smashed many Puzhou troops who had no time to retreat.

"What's going on?" Liang Shiyan saw that dozens of people had already boarded the city, and when he was about to command the follow-up team to follow, it suddenly happened that the sergeant who had gone to the city just now seemed to have seen a ghost, and he desperately retreated, and some even jumped directly from the city at the cost of falling and being injured.

Xue Mo'er and the others also looked at each other, they couldn't see anything under the city, so they naturally didn't know what was going on.

"Collect the troops!" Seeing that this wave of offensive could not be carried out, Liang Shiyan felt sorry for the casualties of his subordinates, and hurriedly ordered the troops to be collected.

The sound of "bell, bell, bell" sounded, and the Puzhou army under the city hurriedly carried the complete ladder and retreated, and there were bursts of cheers on the city wall.

Liang Shiyan counted the number of people who retreated, and he was so distressed that he almost fainted, only one hundred and fifty of the two hundred elite soldiers could retreat, and many of these hundred and fifty people were still wounded, and I am afraid that only a little more than a hundred people could continue to fight, that is to say, in the short siege time just now, one-fifth of his combat power had been almost abolished.

In fact, the Puzhou army suffered very little losses during the siege, only about a dozen casualties, most of them were minor injuries, and the remaining casualties of nearly 100 people were basically caused by Yang Yong in a short period of time after he dispatched the guard, and more than 20 Puzhou soldiers died directly under the guard guns, while the others were injured because they jumped from the city, and they were killed by the rolling wood stones thrown down from the city when they were unable to move, and some were casualties of rebellion when they were fired arrows from behind by the defenders of the city when they retreated.

Liang Shiyan took an officer who attacked the city and asked, "What happened in the city and why did you retreat?" ”

"Hui Guogong, ambush soldiers, there are ambush soldiers in the city!" The officer remembered the long spears of the city, and his heart still palpitated.

After listening to the officer's narration and looking at the city wall of Wanrong County in front of him, Liang Shiyan scolded: "Damn, the little Wanrong County dares to block this official, and this official swears to step on Wanrong." ”

"My lord, it seems that the situation is not right, why is Wanrong County so elite, it is not that Zhang Xu is already in the city." Xue Mo's face became solemn, but he immediately shook his head again: "No, it's impossible, if it's Zhang Xu, he doesn't need to plot against the adult, he can completely stop the adult from bringing troops along the way, if it weren't for Zhang Xu, who else...... Could it be the crown prince? ”

Liang Shiyan was taken aback: "You mean the prince wants to kill me?" ”

"Yes, only the prince has many elite guards around him, and in the past two days, the humble position has made Wanrong County Commander confused, so he didn't expect this layer, my lord, let's retreat, as long as it is too late to return to Puzhou."

Liang Shiyan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, bring that notice." ”

"My lord, which proclamation is it?" The pro-soldier asked inexplicably.

"It's the report that I brought back the day before yesterday with the official seal of the prince."

"Yes." The soldiers immediately rummaged through a package, and finally found an edict issued by Yang Yong to the counties, indicating that Liang Shiyan had rebelled and asking the counties to immediately organize troops to Wanrong to rescue the prince and encircle and suppress the rebels.

This edict was occasionally intercepted by the Puzhou army from a herald, but at that time, after Liang Shiyan was plotted, his heart was full of anger, and he wanted to quickly build siege equipment to capture Wanrong County, and he ignored this edict at all.

Liang Shiyan and Xue Mo'er looked at each other, they originally wanted to be counted as the prince, but they didn't expect that it was also the prince who counted them, Liang Shiyan suddenly shuddered, so from the beginning, the prince knew that they had treacherous intentions.

"Retire! Back to Puzhou. Liang Shiyan almost gritted his teeth and issued the order.
