752. Chapter 752 - Thinking Change 6
Three days later, in fact, Xue Dingfeng, as a guard, had no time to think.
With the bloody human head projected by a stone-throwing vehicle, the last and last sub-city outside Kaiyi City, Xishan City, together with tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, collapsed.
The sub-city defender who died in battle, in terms of origin, was still the cousin of the young feudal lord, the son and nephew that Xue Dingfeng was familiar with, and one of the generals cultivated by the younger generation, so helplessly died in the hands of the enemy clan.
Coupled with Han Tianlin, Wu Bingyi, Wang Yima, Wanli, Zhou Xin and other important generals who have served for generations who have been defeated before, as well as Xue Chufeng, Xue Hengtai, Xue Pingguo and other generals in the clan, the Xue family can be said to be broken and weakened, and the talent has withered.
But he didn't even have time to grieve and feel his feelings, so he had to rush to the part of the city that had been climbed by the enemy, with his armored and sword-wielding reserves, amid the urgent cries of the city.
After the cruel and chronic torment of repeatedly suffering such blows and a little loss of hope.
Under normal circumstances, I was afraid that the morale of the city would have been low and people's minds had changed, and it was only by relying on the common enemy who might be wiped out by the whole family, coupled with the fact that the current daily reserves were still sufficient, so I was able to barely hold on.
But in the current situation of more hope and only frequent bad news, in this huge city, there is still some thoughts floating and panicking.
As the men and horses of the various feudal lords went into battle, the form of defending the city became more and more dangerous and harsh every day.
After all, the majority of the forces defending the city were Xinmu's feudal soldiers and people's strong soldiers, and after their blood and strength were almost exhausted, their weakness of lack of training and cooperation was exposed in front of the attacking enemy.
There were even people who showed cowardice and fled partially, relying on Xue Dingfeng to take the horses of his own family and the remaining iron guards who dismounted as infantry troops, and divided them into several units to take turns like a fire brigade to rush to the various parts of the city wall; Even the first soldier to break through to occupy the city's head for a while, to drive down the hard again, so that he was able to hold on.
When he drew the iron arm bow again, he personally shot a tall and strong Luo clan leader who was quite brave and nailed to the city to kill all directions, and stabilized the situation.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang behind the front and back, and a catapult that had been overused suddenly disintegrated under the action of taut stress, and the fragments that broke apart were scattered, and suddenly knocked down the people standing next to them, and they rolled unconscious or rolled in a pool of smoke and blood, or rolled and howled.
But after these rounds, although the catapults in the city were covered by the city walls, they still lost more than half of them under the targeted blows of the enemy's superior numbers, and the greater losses were those operators who could not dodge, were killed and wounded by fragments, and the craftsmen who maintained them;
Therefore, the remaining equipment can only be put down, and the transfer and maneuver along the cleared city road, waiting for the opportunity to carry out short-term key support and cover.
This is the result of defending the dead city without external help. Although there are advantages to the defense of the city, it can only be useless to fight a little bit of consumption and reserves. Passively wait for possible changes and surprises.
And in the camp outside the city walls, there were rushing cars and corner cars, ladder cars, wells and towers and earthen ramparts. As the chief general of the reinforcements, Luo Zhanrong also had some equipment to arrive with satisfaction.
This is the official and military standard equipment that he spent a lot of money to get from the nearby Huaidong Town, and even the secret channels of the sea route in the south.
It is said that most of them are large equipment that were used by the military in the past. Therefore, in addition to the traditional southern-style stone artillery crossbow used to project firearms, there are not only flying fire thunders as thick as wooden stakes, but also a swarm of bees shaped like flat boxes; Thick leather cannons and starry wooden cannons......
There are also many matching sub-powder quivers, as well as a large cart of special fierce fire oil and gunpowder jars loaded in a large car.
Therefore, since the morning, more than half of the stone cannons and catapults have replaced the stone pills and pottery bombs and poisonous smoke balls, and they are projected in turn, and suddenly a burst of fireworks is splashed, and the defenders on the city are burned to the ground.
Then the approaching fire nest cars and a swarm of bees fired a dense rain of arrows one after another. It fell diagonally upwards on the head of the figure who was still running in the fireworks, and suddenly there was a miserable cry again.
"This firearm is certainly sharp, but it is also extremely fast to consume......"
Then, he couldn't help but sigh to the left and right.
"I still have to save some money......"
With a bang, several large puffs of smoke and dust suddenly erupted from under the base of the wall, and then in the violent uproar and shaking, several diffuse cracks appeared on the wall of the towering city wall visible to the naked eye.
For a time, the city was thunderous with joy and morale. However, it was from the vassal princes of Cangyan Prefecture, who were mostly miners, and the siege methods provided by several caves began to work.
However, as another earthen fortress, on the towering lookout, Jin Fushi, who was standing next to the boss Luo Zhanji and the lord of the small division of Cangyan Prefecture, did not have much joy, but explained with some sincere fear
"The foundation of Kaiyi City is still too thick......"
"The sons and daughters dug down twenty feet day and night,"
"It took several landslides and collapses to find a place to hollow out......
"But apparently it is used to break the wall and trap the city, and there is still something insufficient......"
"It's okay ......"
Luo Zhanji, whose expression was a little relaxed, said to him with relief
"The established reward will not change ......"
"The corresponding bereavement pension cannot save half a cent......"
"It's just that you still need your sons and daughters to make persistent efforts......"
In fact, since the princes and vassals of the Covenant entered the war one after another, and scrambled to launch fierce attacks in turn in the order of extraction; He has always been worried and cautious, but he has suddenly become a little more enlightened, and he has become more and more relaxed and better at speaking.
In fact, only in this case will he feel that many troublesome things have returned to his control, and he has more confidence and confidence.
It is the so-called inducement to benefit, drive to the momentum, and appropriately maintain the balance and equality of each family; This is the important means and purpose of Luo's reign in Anton for many years, and after several changes and crises, it has always stood tall among the princes.
Between the words, the daring warriors and jumping soldiers led by Luo Fan had once again rushed to the cracked city, and occupied a foothold in the city, and planted the blue and blue banner of Anton.
That night, several figures descended straight from the city walls. Then he passed through the outlying sentry posts, and finally appeared in front of Luo Zhanji.
"Wang Wenbin, the head of the Xiaping Ludao Soldiers and Horses, has seen the ...... of honorable candidates"
A man dressed as a soldier with a dirty face introduced himself.
"I'm sure there were many of you who knew ...... at that time"
"I don't know if it's all dry bones in the city, what else is there to say......"
The free man interrupted him on the spot, which was considered a dismount.
"Of course, there is a good thing, and I want to dedicate it to the prince......"
Wang Wenbin continued to say without changing his face.
"It's a light thing to say...... Come on, pull it out"
Another voice shouted, and suddenly two guards stepped forward.
"Don't you want to take Kaiyi City with fewer casualties......
Wang Wenbin hurriedly shouted.
"Is that still interesting......
Luo Zhanji also touched his beard and finally spoke.
"You and I have a deep hatred like the sea, is there anything else to say......
"I'm brave and brave, I'm just a guest teacher who was invited to help in the battle......"
Only then did Wang Wenbin continue to talk about the lotus flower.
"No matter how much hatred there is, is it better than the Xue family, which has been fighting for generations......
"This time, the Xue clan is guarding the fortified city, even if it breaks a corner,"
At this point, he paused, and quickly observed the expressions and reactions of everyone present.
"I'm afraid I don't know how many casualties and twists and turns will cost......"
"It's just that General Li of my family also has no intention of accompanying the Xue family to the funeral......"
"That's why I'm venturing down and talking to you......"
"It is planned to use the covenant of Kaejo to avoid more casualties ...... two families"
"The perfidious man says it nicely...... They are trapped in a dangerous city."
"Falling overnight is just a matter of more effort and effort......
"What qualifications and confidence do you have to negotiate conditions with us?"
"The plan now...... The lowly subordinates also ask for nothing."
"I just want to be able to get out of it...... Others are no longer involved".
The request from the Pinglu army in the city was to open the city gate secretly in exchange for the opportunity for this foreign guest army to get out of this tired war.
After some verbal confrontation and bargaining, Luo Zhanji, who had thought about it for a long time, roughly agreed to the other party's conditions, and agreed that as long as the other party fled out of the city as scheduled, his own men and horses would never pursue or hinder him.
"Let's send this news to the distant ...... in the south."
Then, he turned back and privately commanded the left and right
"I just promise to restrain my family's people and horses, and I will never invade each other......"
"As for meeting other people halfway, it's no wonder that someone else......"
"The Lord Sees ......"
A group of retainers and subordinates suddenly realized, or they were convinced.
"These thieves have helped Xue Shun for many years, and have repeatedly disturbed Anton's land...... Rao is killable, damned."
"It's easy to be cut off from the back road, and you can't let it go easily......"
