Chapter 168: Unraveling the Broken Liang City (I)
[It's not easy, it's been on the shelves for a month, and I finally gave Heng Yi a small recommendation, embarrassment]
"Coming to the world!"
"The light shines and dispels the darkness!"
Thousands of bright sergeants wearing uniform black "uniforms" fanatically shouted slogans and rushed towards the Jieliang county town, and in front of them there were three siege vehicles about the same height as the Jieliang county town driving towards the Jieliang county town under the impetus of manpower, and on the top floor of one of the siege vehicles, there was a particularly eye-catching person.
He was wearing armor, holding a red tasseled spear, tall and strong, with a slightly rough face, he was the commander of this Bright Army-Wan Qingliang, the left deputy helmsman of the Zezhou branch of the Bright Sect of the Black Water Hall.
There were more than 60,000 soldiers before the uprising of the Zezhou rudder of the Guangming Sect, of which 10,000 were elite soldiers, after the Guangming Sect uprising, the Zezhou rudder soldiers were divided into three roads, the helmsman Zhu Wen led 10,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 general soldiers to attack Huichuan County, the left deputy helmsman Wan Qingliang led 20,000 general soldiers to attack Jieliang County, and the deputy helmsman Xu Chang led 20,000 ordinary soldiers to attack Luwei County.
More than half of the time in March 30, more than half of the cities and lands of Huichuan County, Jieliang County, and Luwei County had been captured by the Guangming Army, but the footsteps of the Guangming Army did not stop and continued to launch a new offensive in all directions.
Although there will be certain losses in the Bright Army when attacking the city, but under the attraction of a large amount of money and food in the hands of the Bright Army, many young men and women have joined the Bright Army, so that the strength of the Bright Army has not decreased in any way, but is increasing rapidly.
In Jieliang County, Wan Qingliang felt that the speed of attacking the city was too slow, and the enemy's resistance was very weak, so Wan Qingliang divided his army into three roads, and his two deacons with the strength of the ninth order of the day after tomorrow led 5,000 soldiers to attack the city on both sides, the target was the twelve county towns in Jieliang County, and he Wan Qingliang personally took 10,000 soldiers to face the city of Jieliang County.
Before Wan Qingliang's 10,000 army arrived, the chief official of Jieliang County had received the news in advance, and quickly ordered the army to be reorganized for battle, and requisitioned a large number of militia to defend the city wall.
A few days have passed, and what the Guangming Army has done has been known to the big families, and a small number of timid big families have dragged their families out of Jieliang County to go to the safer Zezhou City, but most of the big families are still in Jieliang County, and some of the big families have fled from other counties in Jieliang County.
Here are their roots, how could they leave here so easily?
Thinking of the fate of the city after being breached by the Guangming Army, the big families have money to pay, food to pay, and someone to give people, of course, these may not be more than ten percent of all they have, but this is what they take out, it can greatly increase the defensive strength of Jieliang County, Wan Qingliang led an army of 10,000 to use various siege equipment to storm for two days, and the city has not yet been taken.
What made Wan Qingliang even more unimaginable was that he was about to break through the city wall during the previous siege, but two white-haired innate warriors suddenly appeared, driving the Guangming Army that had already rushed to the city wall and occupied the footsteps off the city wall.
In the previous investigation of the Guangming Army, it was not found that there were innate martial artists in the city of Jieliang County, but now two suddenly jumped out.
Some families in the land of Shenzhou educate their children in this way: Don't underestimate any family when you go, even if it is a family that has declined, maybe there will be innate martial artists in secret.
Now Wan Qingliang has encountered it, although there are two congenital warriors on the opposite side, Wan Qingliang has no intention of retreating, in Wan Qingliang's heart, there are 10,000 troops in his hands, and the two innate warriors are just a small trouble, if the two congenital warriors jump out, the 10,000 army can easily crush the two innate warriors to death.
The battle of Jieliang County continued, at the beginning of the Guangming Army because of the rapid march, a large number of siege equipment were thrown behind, only with part of the ladder, bed crossbows, crash cars, now the rear siege vehicles, trebuchets have been transported.
When the various siege equipment of the Guangming Army lined up in front of the county town of Jieliang, the county guard standing on the city wall looked at the siege equipment in the distance, and was dizzy for a while, as if there was a devouring tiger in front of him.
"Coming to the world!"
"The light shines and dispels the darkness!"
The black-pressed Light Army slowly advanced with all kinds of siege equipment, bringing boundless pressure to the people on the city walls.
"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! Seeing the Bright Army approaching closer, the county guard shouted in horror.
Hearing the order of the county guard, the archers on the city wall opened their bows to shoot at the Bright Army, although standing on the city wall the bow and arrows can shoot farther, but the Bright Army has not yet entered the effective range of the bow and arrow, and the arrows can't shoot the Bright Army at all, even if a few arrows are shot into the Bright Army, they can't bring much damage to the Bright Army.
In fact, there were bed crossbows in Jieliang County before, but unfortunately those bed crossbows are all antiques, it's okay to look at it, if you put it into actual combat, maybe you can't shoot an arrow.
"Pull!"
"Put!"
With one pull and one release, five trebuchets threw five basin-sized stones high and slammed them into the direction of the city wall.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Four loud bangs indicate that four stones hit the target, two of them hit the city wall, smashing two pits into the tall brick and stone wall, and two stones fell on the city wall and smashed into the crowd, killing several enemies of the Bright Army and injuring many more.
The trebuchet did not bring many casualties to Jieliang County, the important thing was the deterrent power of the trebuchet, even the innate warrior did not dare to take the stone thrown by the trebuchet, once he was hit head-on, the congenital warrior was seriously injured if he did not die.
A few stones directly frightened the county guard into retreating from the city under the protection of his subordinates, and handed over the matter of defending the city to the county lieutenant. (The lieutenant is the adjutant of the county guard and is in charge of the military)
"Forward!" Wan Qingliang, who was standing on the siege vehicle, continued to give orders, and the bright army column moved steadily, but the trebuchet did not move, and continued to throw stones in the direction of the city wall in the same place, but the time of each throw was relatively poor, and it took about forty or fifty breaths to launch once.
"Shoot the arrows! Keep firing the arrows! Dressed in armor and holding a sword, the county lieutenant quickly gave the battle order to the soldiers.
Not long after the lieutenant's voice fell, hundreds of arrows fell from the walls into the ranks of the Bright Army.
There are not many people who can shoot arrows in the city of Jieliang County, and now there are hundreds of archers, most of whom can only draw bows and shoot arrows, don't think about it, but there are so many enemies, even if you shoot casually, you can shoot the enemy, but the bright army is a shield soldier in the front row, and the shield guards the other soldiers, as well as the three tall siege vehicles, they also block arrows for the soldiers behind them.
There weren't many people in the Army of Light who were actually killed by arrows.
