Chapter 309: Offensive and Defensive Changing Momentum (Four Changes)

I'm tired today.,The small four more offered.,Ask for a reward.,Ask for genuine subscription.。

In the afternoon, Luo Rucai's army finally launched an attack on the city of Guidefu.

There are four city gates in Shangqiu City, each of which is facing a path that goes out from the lake, and the road is not wide, only about twenty meters.

Luo Rucai's army was completely useless, and only arranged about 2,000 archers on the roads of each city gate, each with a hard bow in his hand, and the quiver behind his back was full of arrows.

"Siege!"

Luo Rucai was draped all over, riding a horse facing the west gate of the city, waving the saber in his hand, and giving the general order to attack the city.

Immediately, the heralds standing on the high platform raised their flags and conveyed the message of the commander's order in the other three directions, and after a while, more than 8,000 archers from the four gates approached Shangqiu City from four directions, and Geng Zhongming, who was guarding the city, jumped his eyelids.

"Damn, it's going to be played for real!"

In his heart, killing the enemy like last night was just a casual play, and today's siege battle was a real confrontation.

"Brothers, pay attention to defense!" Su Baiyi was not there, Geng Zhongming and the four of them each took about 500 people to guard one door, and he, Geng Zhongming, was responsible for facing Luo Rucai's West Gate: "Once the thieves release their arrows, you will raise your shields, and when the arrow rain passes, we will return the color!" ”

"Got it, General Geng!"

"Got it."

"I heard you!"

The excitement on the faces of the recruits due to yesterday's robbery of the camp was long gone, and they looked at the neatly clad archers in the city queue, obviously a little flustered, but no one was afraid.

The general taught them more than once that when they were shooting arrows from the opposite side, they should only take refuge against the parapet wall of the city wall, and at the same time put their shields on their heads, so that more than ninety percent of the arrows would not pose any threat.

"Stop!"

On the ground outside the west gate, two thousand archers, led by the captain, suddenly stopped fifty paces from the door.

"Draw the bow!"

The sound of the bow was heard in the city, and the heart of every railway guard was tense.

"Shoot!"

At the sound of an order, the arrows of the two thousand soldiers outside the door flew from the sky like a dense rain, and from a distance, they looked like a cloud.

"Shield!" Geng Zhongming shouted, his body hurriedly approached the daughter wall, and the wooden shield in his hand was raised on his head, so that a tight protection was formed, and if nothing else, a simple wave of bows and arrows could not hurt him.

At the same time, more than 500 soldiers guarding the west gate did the same thing.

A second later, there was a sudden whistling sound piercing the air, and then the sound of the shield "snapping" was heard, like hail in summer, falling on the plank.

"I really can't shoot us!" He Shancun smiled and winked at an equally small soldier next to him: "Xiaofeng, it's a pity, you can't go down to kill the enemy in the city, and you can't exchange it for silver." ”

"Be content!" Xiao Feng said sourly: "Last night, you cut six levels by yourself, I really don't know how you did it, so I cut one." ”

"Hey, hey!" As soon as he talked about the matter of cutting the level to repay the merit, He Shancun's eyes showed a fine light, and he whispered to Xiao Feng: "Not to mention the six levels, the Governor also rewarded each of us with a month's salary, plus the first two months, and my six levels, I have saved fifteen taels of silver." When I get home this time, I will give it to my mother and let my mother buy more land, so that my sister and mother will have a good life in the future, and I don't have to look at the faces of the elders in the clan. ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Feng asked curiously: "Each level weighs six or seven pounds, I tied one to my waist and was tired to death, you still have a knife in your hand, how did you get the six levels back." ”

"Hey, hey!" He Shancun lowered his voice and said, "You are not allowed to tell others, before I went, I secretly carried a pocket in my arms, hehe, hehe......"

While the two were talking, the rain of arrows had stopped.

The generals Geng Zhongming shouted "open", and everyone removed the shields on their heads, and their eyes fell on the city again. He Shancun was shocked: "When did these dog-day thieves get so many people?" ”

Originally, there were only 2,000 archers in front of the city gates.

But now, under the fire of a round of archers, the defenders of the city all shrank under the female wall, and the thieves took advantage of this pass to transport a lot of soldiers, and these soldiers were still siege soldiers, and they had more than a dozen long ladders in their ranks.

"Damn!" Geng Zhongming scolded and said, "It's time for us to shoot, shoot the siege first, and don't let them climb up." ”

They each raised their arrows and shot them at the besieging soldiers beneath the city.

Attacking the city is a laborious task, not to mention the fear of falling down when climbing up the ladder, and always worrying about the arrows shooting down from it, so the two sides of the attack and defense stalemate for about half an hour, and still no one can go up to half of the ladder.

Luo Rucai couldn't attack the anxious fire, but Gui Defu's side was also uncomfortable.

On the one hand, there were too few archers in the city compared to those in the city, and the rain of arrows was not dense enough. Moreover, the quality and range of the bow and arrow of the shooters outside the city are superior. Some of the arrows landed on the top of the city, some were stuck in the wooden shields of the soldiers, but many more flew into the city.

The people in the city were already densely populated, and the streets were almost full of tents, leaving only a small passage. So when those arrows came down, they really hurt a lot of people.

More than a dozen unlucky civilians were even shot to death.

Hundreds of students in Yuyuan were patrolling at this time, and their task was to watch the people and prevent infighting, theft, and other things. Fu Lin also jokingly said that he was a "thief captain", but now, a new mission has appeared.

As soon as they found people injured on the streets, the students of Yuyuan immediately organized these people and guided them into the Tongji Hall, which had been converted from the Temple of Literature, and these injured people were treated free of charge.

As for the people who were shot to death, some students also came forward to appease them, asking their families to burn and bury their bodies as soon as possible.

"Master Fu, you tell the officials at the head of the city, let my wife go up, I can't help with anything else, but I can help throw stones." An old woman pulled Fu Lin's clothes and pleaded earnestly.

Fu Lin smiled bitterly: "Old woman, I'm not an adult, I'm just a student. Just call my name in the back, my name is Fu Lin. ”

"None of this matters!" The old woman stomped her foot hatefully, "These days, they shot and injured my little grandson, and the old woman said that she would smash them twice." Or, if you talk to Mr. Su, just say that when he got married, he still made a red hijab made by his wife! ”

"Ah, it's your mother-in-law!" Fu Lin was in awe, but still rejected her kindness: "It's not yet time to let the people help defend the city, if your old man has the heart, help us take care of the people in this area, in case something goes wrong, you always tell me in time." ”

"That'll do too!"

……

At the head of the city, Kong Youde pulled out an arrow on his arm and scolded: "The things raised by the son of a bitch actually hurt people with secret arrows." Look at Grandpa not to skin you and feed you to the dogs! As he spoke, he took off the sandalwood bow from his back, took out an arrow and put it on his hand, and despite the pain in his arm, he aimed it at one of the leaders of the bow team below.

The arrow whizzed away, striking the captain and sending him to the ground with a single arrow.

Kong Youde laughed.

The leader who was shot should not have been injured to the point, and he was immediately furious, and with a wave of his hand, more than 2,000 people under his command raised their bows at 45 degrees at the same time, and aimed towards the city.

"Grass!" Kong Youde scolded: "Come again, hurry, boys, attach to the wall and raise a shield for protection!" ”

At the same time, everyone made turtles with shrunken heads, nesting their bodies in the corner of the female wall, holding a horizontal shield on their heads for protection.

After a rain of arrows, there was a huge rafter on the path into the city opposite the north gate, the rafter was sharpened in front of it, and dozens of people behind it were carried by ropes at the same time, and they ran quickly in the direction of the city gate.

"Oh no, these dogs are going to bang on the door." Kong Youde hated it, and looked at the archers below who raised their bows forty-five degrees again, and he hurriedly said: "In a team of two, one person defends and one shoots arrows, shoots, shoots, shoots at those bitches who carry wood, shoots, shoots, shoots to death." ”

The soldiers of the city worked in pairs, one holding a shield for protection, the other shooting a bow and arrow, aiming at the thieves who came to the door with siege spikes.

However, the thieves were also prepared, and one let the archers behind them press the formation and keep shooting at the city, increasing the pressure on the defense of the city. The second is that the besiegers also have shields in their hands, and the rain of arrows in the city is dense, but they cannot shoot them all. Moreover, because there was a team of 2,000 archers behind them, after the siege soldiers in front of them fell, they were supplemented by two people in the back, and the large rafters approached the city gate in an instant.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the giant tree finally slammed into the city gate. At this time, because the castle tower formed a shooting corner, the soldiers in the city could not attack the soldiers who were charging the city.

"It's over, it's over!" Kong Youde hurriedly said: "We don't have an urn city in this city, if this gate is knocked open, Shangqiu City will be abandoned." He picked up a soldier in one hand and said loudly: "You go to the city and inform the other soldiers, no matter what method you use, even if you use someone to fill it in for me, you can't let them break our gate." ”

"Yes!"

The gate of Guide Mansion was originally an old gate that was in disrepair and could be knocked off with a little force. When Su Baiyi knew that Luo Rucai was going to attack the city, he replaced the gates on all sides with new ones, not only using hardwood soaked in dung water, but also a layer of iron on the outside of the wooden door.

Not only have the doors been replaced, but the door frames are also new, and the pilasters around the gate are still made of reinforced concrete. In this way, it is naturally much stronger than the average city gate.

But no matter how strong it is, it is still a door after all, and the hard part is all on the deadbolt. If you let dozens of big men outside the door collide, it won't take an hour, and it will naturally open.

After the students of Yuyuan came over, they immediately organized the people in the city to move stones and stack them in a large pile behind the door, so that the bolt of the door was broken by them, and the door could not be opened.

It's just that there's one bad thing about doing this: don't go out yourself.
