Chapter 80: A Critical Moment
Li Tong immediately burst out laughing when he heard this, and shouted at Yang Ding: "With your bandit-like army, it's like forcing us to surrender without a fight?" You're dreaming! Let me tell you, don't say it's you, even if the four thieves Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji arrive together, I, Li Tong, will not surrender, and you will die of this heart! ”
"Good! In this case, then don't blame me for being polite, pass on my military order, the army will attack the city with all its might, and on the day the city is broken, all the soldiers will be allowed to slaughter the city for three days, and the old, young, women and children in the city will be disposed of at your will! Thief Li Tong, you must remember that all the disasters that have befallen the people of the city are caused by your refusal to surrender. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yang Ding pointed at the head of the city with a horsewhip, his eyes were cold, and he gave the order to attack the city with a cold face, and he also shifted all the blame to Li Tong's head.
However, Li Tong was unmoved, and said coldly: "I want to see how you break through my city?" ”
Immediately the order was given, and the army went all out to defend the four gates.
After that, the Xiliang army began to roar loudly and launched an attack on the four city gates.
However, due to the haste of the Xiliang army, they didn't bring much siege equipment at all, just relying on the soldiers to fill the river, and then climbing the most rudimentary wooden ladder, so the attack was launched, the result can be imagined, such an attack did not achieve much obvious effect, two hours passed, Yang Ding left hundreds of corpses of the Xiliang army, and then led the army to leave.
In the next few days, the Xiliang army did not move, but this made Li Tong more and more cautious, because he believed that the other party would not give up, and the other party did not move, which would mean that they would make a big move in the next few days and prepare for a new round of offensive.
Therefore, in the past few days, Li Tong did not dare to take it lightly at all, and ordered the entire city army and people to take action, build city defense equipment, and be sure to resist the opponent's next offensive.
A few days later, in the early morning of one day, the brief calm of these days was finally broken, and with the sound of a terrible horn, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army dismounted and launched a fierce attack on the county town together with thousands of soldiers of the Baibo Army.
This time, they prepared a large number of siege equipment, including a battering ram for mounting the city gate, a well, which is 100 zhang high and used to shoot down on the defenders in the city, a watchtower, a nest car for observing the enemy, and a ballista for siege.
In just a few days, the enemy army mobilized so many siege equipment, which shows how firm the Xiliang army's determination to siege the city is!
However, Li Tong did not waver in the slightest, and ordered the army to resolutely counterattack.
Although the soldiers were no longer receiving Li Tong's skill bonus at this time, they all had the determination and courage to fight to the death against the enemy, and launched a crazy resistance in the face of the attack of superior forces.
The archers on the head of the city after the bow and arrow are shot, they throw the stones around them down, in order to be able to cause terrifying lethality, they are often by several soldiers together, lift two or three hundred pounds of boulders, and smash them down, such boulders fall from the city tower, as the battering ram to smash, but also on the spot smashed more than ten enemy soldiers who could not dodge.
And for the Liangzhou army that climbed from the ladder, they also tried every means to kill, at the beginning it was a rolling log, a stone and other conventional defensive equipment, close to the spear and spear to stab, and some Liangzhou soldiers were lucky to climb the city, so the defenders brandished their swords, and they started a fight, and those who were seriously injured, lost the ability to fight the soldiers were not idle, they often hugged the enemy soldiers who had just climbed the city, and fell down the city with them......
"Kill!" When he saw the soldiers holding the city with such fearless courage, even Li Tong was red-eyed, brandished his spear, and launched a frenzied killing against the enemy soldiers who rushed up.
At this moment, a feather arrow flew from nowhere and shot directly into Li Tong's shoulder, but Li Tong did not stop at all, snorted lightly, waved his hand and pulled out the feather arrow, and continued to swing the gun to kill the enemy.
What's even more dangerous is that some of the Liangzhou soldiers who announced their surrender before were also a little ready to move at this time, and some even considered cooperating with the Liangzhou army outside to join forces with the outside and seize the county town of Shang.
Of course, the defenders of the city were not defenseless, and when these troops began to connect with each other in the army, Cui Jun found out about the matter and decisively sent people to quickly kill the few leaders, so that the situation of the riot was easily calmed down.
Of course, after this, Cui Jun naturally had to do some appeasement work, he summoned the troops over, and said loudly: "Soldiers, don't think that we will lose this battle, our army will have 100,000 reinforcements in the future, and they will arrive in a few days, and when the reinforcements arrive, the thieves will not have any life at all, in addition, you should also know how cruel Li Dao Guo Yan and others are to govern the army, even if you can help them get the county town of Shang this time, you will definitely be punished for defection in the future, Because Yang Ding, the commander of the enemy army, will definitely not give you this credit. And our army is different, my lord is the current Tai Lieutenant, Youzhou Mu Queen, as a member of the Han family, and a rebellious general appointed by the Son of Heaven, is a lord of benevolence, as long as you are willing to sincerely submit, you will definitely be indispensable to your benefits, you are in our army these days, you should know what kind of treatment our sergeants have, as long as you are sincere to our army, you will definitely get the same treatment as them. ”
Cui Jun's words immediately caused an uproar, because these Xiliang sergeants also inquired that all the soldiers under Liu He's command, their families are exempt from taxation for farming, and if they are injured and not suitable to continue fighting, they will also be arranged to be in the rear as small officials.
"Liu Yuanjun really, is he really willing to treat us as his own?" A commander of the Xiliang Army couldn't help but ask.
"This is nature, my lord is the lord of benevolence and righteousness, you can go to Yingchuan and Nanyang to inquire, if Cui Mou said half a sentence is untrue, I wish ten thousand arrows pierced my body, and I will not die well!"
Anyone who fights in a war, the most taboo is death, now Cui Jun swears by ten thousand arrows, showing endless sincerity, and immediately won the trust of those surrendered soldiers, those surrendered soldiers all clenched their fists, solemnly expressed their determination, one of the military marquis stepped forward a few steps, and said loudly: "Please rest assured that as long as Liu Zhijun can treat each other with sincerity, we will not betray again in this life, in order to show sincerity, we will go to the city and help Liu Zhijun guard Shang County, brothers, Let's also let the brothers of the Nanyang Army take a look, although we are surrendering troops, we are not eating dry food! ”
After saying this, the marquis turned around first and walked in the direction of the city.
The other Liangzhou soldiers were also resolute when they saw this, and followed the military marquis to the city to defend against the enemy.
At this time, Cui Jun's personal captain Cui Zheng looked uneasy, and said to Cui Jun: "Military division, they just went to the city?" If there is another rebellion, will we really be finished? ”
I saw Cui Jun Zhengse said: "You can rest assured, I think they will not defect, hehe, at the moment of crisis, with such a new force to join, we can easily survive this crisis, I believe that the lord's army is also coming soon, and the moment of our victory will not be far away." ”
