Chapter 204: (Attack on Liaocheng)

Liang Xi had just put on his armor, and a guard ran into the backyard in a hurry and shouted to Liang Xi in the house: "General, General Zhao, the guard general of Linqing County, has come to report that many Cheng Dynasty troops are attacking the city." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Liang Xi hung up the sword from the shelf, walked out of the house, and said as he walked: "Linqing County is fifty miles away from my Liaocheng, and now I have come to report, it has been almost an hour, hurry, order all the soldiers in the school field to climb the city tower and prepare for battle, and also order the scouts to go to the counties in the county immediately and gather soldiers to Liaocheng." ”

"No—" The guard ran away from the county guard's mansion, then mounted his horse outside the gate and headed towards the schoolyard west of the city.

"I hope nothing big happens." Liang Xiwu said to himself, now all the circumstances indicate that the Liaocheng he is guarding will be in big trouble.

The guards on duty on the west floor of the city were talking with a smile, and suddenly, a building in the city was on fire, and then there were fires burning in all directions in the city, and the flames stained half of the sky above Liaocheng.

"Ouch, look, there's a fire..."A soldier on duty was the first to spot the fire, and then reached out and pointed in the direction of the fire.

The other soldiers turned their heads to look into the city, whispering.

"Hey, is it because of the fire that the drums on the other side of the school yard have asked us to put out the fire?" said a young soldier curiously.

"Not necessarily, you see that there is a fire all around, it may be that the sentinels of the princes of one side did it deliberately, and there is a good show to watch now." A veteran soldier said with a smile, they have been soldiers for a long time, and they know that there are many princes' sentinels in Liaocheng, and now the fire is very likely to be deliberately done by the intelligence of which party.

"It's still the case that my brother said, now it's snowing heavily in Hebei, I heard that the snow in Linqing County has frozen the Liaohe River, we're just dry and cold, in my opinion, it won't be long before we will have heavy snow." The captain on duty leaned against the city wall, looked at the direction of the fire, and shook his head: "It's good that we are guarding the city, otherwise we will go to fight the fire, this drudgery, whoever is unlucky." ”

The military marquis on duty on the city tower walked out of the city tower, looked at the direction of the fire in the city, and then shouted at the soldier who spoke: "What are you doing? Keep a good watch over them. ”

"Don't say it, Lord Junhou is angry..."Wu Chang quickly turned his head as if he saw an evil ghost and looked in the direction of the outside of the city.

After the military marquis finished scolding, he looked at the direction of the fire, and then walked into the city tower, the old soldier from before shook his head, and then said to the captain: "Big brother, what are we changing the guard, it's too cold, why don't I go get some wine to warm up the brothers?" ”

"Good, good, good...", the others happily echoed when they heard that they were going to drink.

"Big brother?" Seeing that the captain ignored him, the old soldier shouted again, but when he saw that there was still no movement, he walked up to take a look, fell to the ground in fright, stretched out his hand and trembled and said, "Enemy... Enemy... Enemy attack, beat the drum quickly... Beat the drums..."

The others all stepped forward curiously to take a look, and the captain slowly fell backwards, and these people saw clearly by the faint light of the fire on the castle tower that the captain had been hit by two arrows in the chest and throat, and died on the spot.

"Ahh

As soon as the cry sounded, a cold wind came from far and near, and these people looked up and saw that many arrows were flying from far and near in the night, and when they saw clearly that they were arrows, they had already been hit.

These arrows flew up the tower like a torrential rain, and the marquis felt that something was wrong, and as soon as he opened the door, he was shot into a hedgehog by the arrows, but before they could scream, they were shot all over the holes.

These arrows were fired by Song Zijiang and Song Zixian's infantry battalion, and according to Shangguan Yin Feng's requirements, there were 50,000 arrows, enough for these people to drink a pot.

After the rain of arrows, those who were still alive on the castle tower struggled to beat the enemy drums, and the drums spread very fast in the dark night.

"Hurry up to the city tower..."Liang Xi had just walked to the school yard when he heard the sound of drums, and he knew very well that there was an enemy attack.

"Boom... Rumble... Boom..."

The muffled sound like thunder sounded one after another, and then there was a violent explosion at the north wall of the city, the city wall was blown to pieces, the stones were scattered, and some of the soldiers on duty on the city wall were blown to pieces, and some fell into the moat, and they were embarrassed.

"The whole army is ready to fight, and the battalions are quickly in position..."After the explosion, Liang Xi knew who the person who came this time, so after shouting, he quickly led his troops towards the west of the city.

Outside the city wall of Liaocheng is the moat, the water in the moat is the water of the Liaohe River, the Liaohe River flows around Liaocheng in a circle, the water flow speed is not small, it is also a natural barrier of Liaocheng, this moat is about six meters wide, people will be washed away directly if they fall in, this is also the reason why Liaocheng has only one exit, it is like an island in the lake, once the suspension bridge in the west of the city is destroyed, it is difficult for the people who go in to get out, and the people inside will be trapped to death.

In a word, to defend the west of the city is to guard the entire Liaocheng.

On a high ground in the northwest of the city, Huang Botao is directing his men to cool the cannon body of the Shenwu cannon with water, just after the first wave of attacks, a huge gap has been blown out of the north of the city, and a section of the city wall in the north of the city has a gap of at least nearly ten meters, exposed, and the width of the gap can be clearly seen by the houses in the city wall at a high place.

"Lord Wang, the second wave of shelling will take about a cup of tea, and the Marquis of Pingxiang has already ordered an attack on the west of the city..."Huang Wei said with his fists clasped towards Shangguan Yin Feng.

Of course, Shangguan Yin Feng had clearly heard the shouting and killing sound in the west of the city, for safety, this time he gave Li Yanqing a full 50,000 horses to attack the west of the city, and gave Qian Menglong, Yuan Liang, and Yuan Han 30,000 people to attack Linqing County, and he still has 20,000 people and Cao Zhen's 6,000 cavalry in the vanguard camp can be called: "Huang Wei, go and tell Huang Botao that the second wave of artillery bombardment will target the city wall in the west of the city and kill these rabbit cubs." Shangguan Yin Feng said hatefully over there: "The Jinyi guards in the city did a good job this time, after Liaocheng is captured, let these people come to see this king." ”

"No..."Huang Wei said in response, the people in Liaocheng who were in the gambling house before were all people who were placed in Liaocheng by Jinyiwei a few months ago, and they have always been in the towns outside the city, and they all entered the city because they received the news, which is also because of Liang Xi's scout guards, the scout guards vigorously checked the princes' sentinels, so that they did not dare to enter Liaocheng easily, so as not to expose their identities early.

The second wave of shelling sounded again not long after, Shangguan Yin Feng looked towards the side of the artillery array, then turned his head to look at this side, and pointed at the night gun in his hand: "Attack." ”

After Cao Zhen received the order, he immediately ordered to run towards the north of the city, and his men were holding long ladders and many wooden planks, in fact, the reason was very simple, Shangguan Yin Feng learned about the city defense of Liaocheng, so he ordered people to build a ten-meter-long ladder, and then put the two long ladders together, put wooden planks on them, not only people can easily pass, even horses can pass safely, of course, the thickness of this ladder is stronger than the general ladder, otherwise it will be broken from the middle because of the long soldier.

After Cao Zhen rushed to the north of the city, he found that there was no defender in the north of the city, and all of them went to the west of the city to defend the city, and even Liang Xi couldn't imagine that the Liaohe River that he thought was safe would protect Liaocheng, because it was wide enough, after the north of the city was blown up, there was no need to defend the city, and all the soldiers were transferred to the west of the city to fight.

The ladder was smoothly placed in the gap of the collapsed city wall, and then the soldiers put the planks one by one, and when the first Cheng Dynasty soldier passed, Cao Zhen pointed his spear and shouted, "Kill it..."

"Kill..."
