Chapter 139: Breaking through Lijiazhuang
After speculating on Li Ying's plan, Deng Long did not hesitate and directly began to order the siege of the city, not even bothering to say the opening words of the war.
With Deng Long's order, the archers, dressed in heavy armor, marched forward with a bang, and when they reached fifty steps away from Lijiazhuang, they all stopped and began to draw their bows and arrows.
The guests of Lijiazhuang in the city found out about this scene and hurriedly called Li Ying, who was resting.
Li Ying walked to the top of the city and saw that the archers under the city were all brushing and shouting: "Don't do it, the good man must not do it, Li Jiazhuang is willing to hand over the grain and grass!" ”
Deng Long said loudly: "Please also ask Brother Li to go out of the city to see him, otherwise the fate of Hujiazhuang will be the fate of you." ”
Li Ying was taken aback, in just half a day, Hujiazhuang was taken by Liangshan?
Deng Long saw that Li Ying was standing at the head of the city, and he didn't talk nonsense, and shouted: "Release!" ”
As soon as Deng Long waved the flag, the marching drum sounded, and as soon as the archers let go together, thousands of sharp arrows rushed to the head of Lijiazhuang City.
"Ahh
There was a riot at the head of the city, and this rain of arrows killed more than 20 people and injured hundreds of people, and the head of the city was suddenly cleared.
Li Ying clinged to the head of the city and was not injured. However, seeing that Zhuang Ke killed and injured hundreds of people, after all, he was not a professional soldier, and now his morale suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Li Ying didn't dare to order an attack on Liangshan's men and horses, if he really caused damage to Liangshan, it would really be endless.
Unwilling to surrender, he didn't dare to fight, Li Ying is now aggrieved to death.
Deng Long didn't get entangled, seeing that Li Jiazhuang did not fight back, he immediately understood Li Ying's thoughts, and immediately ordered the archers to retreat, and the death squad forcibly attacked the city.
More than 1,000 men and horses in the rear, divided into four teams of 300 men each, carried ten siege ladders, trotted to the city wall, put the ladder under the city wall, and began to climb the city wall.
Li Ying's heart was beating wildly, watching the dense sergeants start to climb, and he didn't know what to think, so he pushed down the siege ladder hard.
The soldier on the ladder suddenly fell and fell to the ground wailing.
The soldiers of the death squad were stunned, and when they saw that their men and horses were injured, they all took out their crossbows and shot at the people at the head of the city.
"Whoosh."
The crossbow bolts were aimed at the outcropping villager, killing twenty or thirty people in an instant.
Suppressing the enemy at the head of the city, the soldiers on the siege ladder quickly climbed to the city wall and began to kill the enemy.
In the face of the fierce Liangshan people, the villagers did not dare to resist at all, and began to surrender.
Li Ying sat on the wax completely, as the number of people and horses in Liangshan gradually increased, there was no one to resist in the city, and they all squatted down with their heads in their hands, and the people and horses of Liangshan completely controlled the city.
This battle came and went quickly, and in less than half an hour, Lijiazhuang was completed. The main reason is that Li Ying is hesitant, otherwise it will be known whether it will be a battle or a surrender.
The siege of the city this time was all small soldiers, and none of the leaders participated, but after seeing death yesterday, they are ruthless today, and they are not weaker than those old pawns.
Li Ying was brought to Deng Long, drooping his head, not daring to look at Deng Long.
Li Kui was taught a lesson by Hu Sanniang, and it was a depressed time at this time, when he saw Li Ying's pretending to be cowardly, he was angry and raised his hand to fight.
"You fucking look at grandpa, dare to fight with grandpa, why don't you dare to look at us?"
Li Kui's hand was so strong that he couldn't say it, and after a few strokes, he was beaten with blood, and he couldn't see that face.
Deng Long didn't stop Li Kui, Li Ying was too thoughtful, and he was obviously not a candidate to put by his side.
Besides, in the original trajectory, Chao Gai's death, this guy is likely to play a big role, Deng Long will not be stupid enough to put this time bomb by his side.
As for Li Ying's whereabouts, Deng Long had already thought about where they should be very comfortable, right?
Li Ying was knocked unconscious by Li Kui, Deng Long waved his hand, and asked the minions to carry Li Ying down and lock him up, and wait for the next day to make plans.
Lijiazhuang was officially captured by Liangshan, and a large number of prisoners were taken prisoner, all of whom were tied into strings, and teams were pressed out of Lijiazhuang.
Excluding the dead and wounded in the battle, there were 3,000 people, and it seems that Li Ying has made a lot of money this time.
After asking clearly which things were the villagers, and which were Li Yingyang's villagers, Deng Long ordered the villagers to be released, and all those villagers were naturally taken to Liangshan to do hard labor.
The villagers who died in the war were given a pension of 200 yuan per family, and 50 yuan for the injured, Deng Long did not seize all this money, and all of them were distributed.
The grain, grass, and money were all packed and waited for the Liangshan reservists to deliver them.
Not to mention, Li Ying's accumulated family property is fifty percent more than that of Hujiazhuang, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
After finishing these, it was getting late, Deng Long asked the people to take turns to watch Zhujiazhuang, and did not let them take the opportunity to escape.
The tents in the camp were all moved to the outside of Lijiazhuang, and a large camp was set up, and there was no edge in sight.
The soldiers were all in their tents to absorb the day's gains, and the leaders all gathered together to discuss the attack on Zhujiazhuang tomorrow.
Deng Long sat on the chair and listened to the reports of the crowd.
"One hundred trebuchets have all been assembled, and more than 10,000 stone bullets have been transported to the gate of Zhujiazhuang tonight."
"The death squad has organized more than 2,000 people, which is enough to take Zhujiazhuang!"
"Mule carts and donkey carts are ready for tens of thousands of vehicles to transport grain and grass materials back and forth, and all the materials of Li Erzhuang will be transported to Liangshan tomorrow night!"
After listening to the summary of information, Deng Long said solemnly: "Zhujiazhuang is not comparable to Hu, Li Erzhuang, so tomorrow's battle will be extremely tragic, brothers, please be mentally prepared!" ”
Everyone responded in unison, and Deng Long continued to advise: "This big battle is mainly for military training, so you can only command tomorrow, you can't participate, if the soldiers really can't hold on, I will ask you to shoot!" ”
Li Kui said with a gloomy face: "If you don't ask us to kill, it's better to be a copycat!" ”
Deng Long's face darkened, is Li Kui this guy here to dismantle the stage?
Ignoring this guy's complaints, Deng Long introduced Hu Sanniang to everyone, and there was a chorus of joy, and Liangshan finally had the first female general.
Hu Sanniang greeted everyone boldly, without the slightest twist, and her generous style added a lot of points to herself.
That night, Deng Long asked someone to prepare a few drinks and dishes to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Hu Sanniang.
At the banquet, Hu Sanniang did not refuse, the black porcelain bowl was filled with wine, and he drank it when he raised his head, which was very chic.
Deng Long finally discovered a fact that Hu Sanniang's alcohol consumption was much larger than Li Kui's!
Early the next morning, the army finished breakfast and rushed to Zhujiazhuang under the leadership of their respective leaders.
At this time, the trebuchets were lined up, and the gray stone bullets under their feet were stacked into a mountain, and at a glance, it was impossible to estimate the number.
Zhujiazhuang also found out about this situation as early as last night, but they couldn't do anything about it, so they could only watch the people of Liangshan and prepare calmly.
Zhu Chaofeng's expression at this time can no longer be described as difficult, it is simply a dead gray.
Who would have thought that Liangshan would be able to make trebuchets, and there were more than 100 of them, and he didn't have such a sharp weapon to attack and defend the city!
The imperial court can tolerate private possession of weapons, after all, there are endless bandits and bandits, and the people have to defend themselves.
However, large-scale field equipment such as trebuchets can only be owned by the imperial court, and once privately made, the lightest ones are distributed to fishing in Yuzhou. (To be continued.) )
