Chapter 124: The Fight Begins
"Let me think about what else I can use to defend the city!" Ning Shaoqiu closed his eyes and thought for a long time: "That's right! Falling stones, when the Liao soldiers get under the city wall, you can use falling stones to deal with them! ”
Before Ning Shaoqiu crossed over, he didn't watch a lot of historical films, but where there are siege fragments, there must be fragments of the defenders using stones to deal with the enemy, which can be seen that this is the most effective defensive means to deal with sieges in ancient times.
"Are there rockfalls in our city?" Ning Shaoqiu asked Yu Sibao, who came back to report.
Yu Sibao was stunned for a moment, and then hugged his fists and said: "The city defense of Lizhou City in the past five years has basically been maintained, so there are no such things!" ”
Ning Shaoqiu frowned, then the situation would be terrible, without falling stones, it would be as difficult as it would be to stop the Liao soldiers from breaking through the city by relying on those thousands of bows and arrows alone.
"So, is there any way to replace these stones?" Ning Shaoqiu's eyes began to search around, and suddenly, he was slightly stunned: "That's right!" There are no falling rocks, so you can use boiling water! ”
"General Yu, immediately organize people to boil water upstairs in the city, the bigger the pot, the better, the stronger the fire, the better, one pot is definitely not enough, prepare two more pots, cook together, go and prepare immediately!"
"Yes!" Yu Sibao was stunned for a moment, and then didn't ask, he directly responded with a fist and went down to prepare.
Ning Shaoqiu was annoyed: Why didn't I think of this matter earlier, I don't know if it's too late to burn now!
"His Royal Highness King Ming! Yelu Hongqi called for battle outside the city again, indicating that His Royal Highness would attack the city directly if he didn't go out to reply! "A soldier suddenly came to report at this time.
"Shhhh Is the time for half a pillar of incense to come? Ning Shaoqiu muttered a sentence in his mouth, secretly chilling in his heart, now he doesn't even have the equipment to burn the fire, can this hot water boil at that time?
"Dehua, you take people to people's homes and let them boil water together, as well as tables, chairs and benches, borrow as many as you want! Tell the people that it was borrowed by His Royal Highness King Ming, and it will be returned when the time comes! ”
Ning Shaoqiu gave a few more orders to Lin Dehua beside him, and then leaned towards the wall of the city tower.
"Hey! General Yelu, long waiting! Ning Shaoqiu shouted towards the city tower.
"His Royal Highness King Ming, this half-pillar incense time has passed! I don't know what kind of reply you will give to General Ben?! Yelu Hongqi's face was ugly, in his opinion, Ning Shaoqiu must be delaying time, this question was just an ultimatum.
"This king can give the stone width to the general!"
"Give it to me... Kindness? Yeluhong's words came to his lips and quickly tasted wrong, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't dare to imagine what he heard with his ears: "You, what did you say?" ”
"I said, I can give it to the general," Ning Shaoqiu shouted again.
"This!" Yelu Hongqi glanced at his adjutant, who also happened to be looking at him, both of them with shocked and incredulous eyes in their eyes.
"General, don't be a deceit here!"
Yelu Hongqi nodded, but he really couldn't think of it, even if Ning Shaoqiu really wanted to cheat on this matter, what method could he use?
"General Yelu, since you don't speak, then I'll treat you as if you have heard it, and I will have someone send you the stone width!" Yelu Hongqi was still worried, and Ning Shaoqiu spoke again.
As soon as he said this, Yelu Hongqi said to his adjutant, "Look again! In case what this guy says is true, it's possible, then we'll save trouble! ”
"General Yelu, then I'll come down!" Ning Shaoqiu waved his hand to Yelu Hongqi again, and then walked towards the staircase of the city wall, and when he turned around, his expression changed abruptly: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Inform Yu Sibao to move faster, and there are also commanders waiting for the city gate to open, and quickly notify the troops outside the city to retreat to the city gate! ”
"The archers on the city wall should also pay attention, once the other party starts to charge, regardless of whether the king gives an order or not, they must act immediately!"
Ning Shaoqiu's voice echoed in the ears of every soldier who passed him, and the sense of urgency in his tone and the eagerness contained in it were contagious to these soldiers, making their somewhat numb soles no longer so weak, and making their somewhat timid hearts no longer so afraid.
"General, the first batch of soldiers have already transported the borrowed tables, chairs and benches to the city wall, and everyone has taken the initiative to lend us these furniture!"
Ning Shaoqiu nodded with satisfaction, with the support of the people, he would have more confidence to face this war!
"Then open the door! Let's all come in! Ning Shaoqiu waved his hand and ordered.
"Okay!" Yu Sibao nodded and asked the soldiers guarding the city gate to open the city gate.
。。。。。。
Outside the city, Yelu Hongqi watched the city gate open, and his heart slowly rose to his throat, for some reason, he suddenly became a little nervous, and at the same time, more doubts came to his heart: This Ming King really gave me the stone width so easily?
"General, General, the situation is not right, you see how the soldiers outside their city are retreating inside! Checkmate! The adjutant said abruptly to Yeluhongqi.
"Huh?" Yelu Hongqi looked at the city gate, and it was true that more than half of the soldiers in Lizhou City had disappeared, and the remaining half were also running quickly towards the city gate.
"Not good! Fooled! This guy is just trying to delay us! Kill me! Yelu Hongqi soon realized that he had been deceived and immediately gave the order to charge.
"Kill!" The earth-shattering sound of the battle was suddenly deafening.
"Your Highness, they're coming!" Yu Sibao shouted towards Ning Shaoqiu.
"Then hurry up and release the arrows!" Ning Shaoqiu shouted towards Yu Sibao.
The archers on the city wall who had long been ready to attack were ordered, and in an instant, the rain of bows and arrows in the sky fell, and the momentum of the Liao soldiers' charge slackened.
"Quick! Hurry up! Ning Shaoqiu shouted at the soldiers at the city gate, most of the soldiers had already entered the city at this moment, and there were still a handful of tails that had not yet entered.
"The soldiers who came in were divided into two stacks, one under the city gate waiting for orders, and the other hurriedly went to the back door!" Ning Shaoqiu came back to his senses as he watched the soldiers standing by under the city gate, and hurriedly ordered.
"Hurry up later!"
Outside the city gate, Yelu Hongqi, whose charge was blocked, was not flustered, he immediately said: "Hurry up, the shield soldiers are in front, slowly advance forward!" ”
"Yes!" The well-trained shield soldiers quickly came to the front with Yeluhongqi's order and built a shield wall. The slender bow and arrow were already limited in power, but now with a shield in front of them, there is no threat at all.
"Alright, let's move on!" The corners of Yelu Hongqi's mouth curved, if Ning Shaoqiu only prepared these things, then the outcome of this battle was already under his control.
