Chapter 558: Useless Wu Yong
Song Jiang ordered his minions to build siege equipment, and at the same time discussed with everyone how to break the enemy, but there were not many people in such a large group who went out with their brains, and everyone pinned their hopes on Wu Yong.
It's just that Wu Yong is also very entangled, he has never seen this kind of castle, and he has never attacked the city, and his previous experience is just on paper, and now you let him engage in this upgraded version of the city wall, Wu Yong is also blind.
What's more, what he is good at is also some cleverness, and it is completely difficult for him to really let him handle such a siege battle, and in the end, Wu Yong can only come up with a plan to combine the inside and the outside, and send people to lurk in Zhuangzi.
But now that Liangshan has reached the door of people's homes, you have set up a caravan, as long as people are not stupid, they will not believe it, and when you come to do business during the war, are you stupid or stupid?
The so-called building of siege equipment is just to make a few ladders, and a day is enough, but when the ladders are built to attack the city, everyone will be numb, where does this come from? Do you start with a bulging corner or a concave wall?
On the city tower, Zhu Wu has ordered the ballista to be hung with fire and oil bombs to be on standby at any time, and the middle-level officers commanded on the city tower are also veterans who have participated in the Yangzhou campaign, but the Liangshan army on the opposite side is unwilling to attack the city, so that everyone does not know what to do.
The bandaged Qiu Yue rode a new horse, looked at the city wall, and when he saw that everyone didn't dare to move, he asked, "Why don't you try a dozen first, this is not a way to just stand here?" ”
Song Jiang nodded and said, "Who of you brothers wants to take the lead?" ”
If this is usually someone would have stepped forward to fight for this first credit, but at this time, everyone look at me, I see that you don't dare to come forward, Zhu Biao saw that no one dared to go up, so he said: "I'll come!" ”
Song Jiang nodded happily and said, "Okay!" Brother take a thousand men and horses and just charge, and I will wait for you to sweep the battle. ”
Zhu Wu looked at the Liangshan soldiers who rushed to the city wall, and sighed, this is also not a siege of the city, how can there be waves of siege, is this here to send death or to attack the city?
A thousand people carrying twenty ladders under the city rushed to this side with a roar, Zhu Wu couldn't bear to fight when he looked at their shivering formation, there were ten ballistae on this side of the city wall, and twenty ladders were only enough for two rounds of crossbow bombardment.
Zhu Wu saw that the other party rushed to the range of the ballista, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Release!" ”
Ten fire oil bombs roared towards the military formation under the city, although the main target was the ladder, but the accuracy of the ballista was not very good, but Zhu Biao and the people did gather in a pile, except for two shots missed, the others all entered the crowd, two burned to the ladder, and the others burned to the people.
The effect of ten rounds of fire oil bombs is leveraged, there are more than 100 of Liangshan's minions that are glued to the fire, whoever goes to fight will stick to whom, the fire can't be extinguished on the ground, and there is no water, and the second round of fire oil bombs is being slapped and falls into the crowd, and the rest are scattered, desperately running towards the main formation, just ten fire oil bombs make Liangshan minions frightened.
Song Jiang and the other leaders looked at the people who were screaming and rolling there, and their scalps were numb, and Zhu Biao was also palpitating, and everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to speak, and only then did they remember that the Ryukyu Army still had this big killing weapon.
Song Jiang muttered, "Is this the mythical Ryukyu Divine Fire Bomb?" It's really inextinguishable, I heard that water can't be extinguished. ’
After the momentum was captured, it was impossible to charge in mind, everyone stood there and discussed for a long time, and there was no good way, so they had to withdraw their troops and return to the barnyard, Zhu Wu was also worried, and secretly complained that he had just gone too far, is this too much, what if the Liangshan army ran away?
Song Jiang and the others returned to the barn and hurriedly strengthened the wall, and did a good job of fire prevention, especially those firewood piles, which were far away when everyone set up camp.
Wu Yong sighed and said: "It seems that the three Zhuangzi of Dulonggang can only outwit and not attack hard!" ”
Song Jiang suddenly remembered something and clapped his hands and said: "By the way, Zhang Heng and Tong Meng's brothers' warship has a divine fire bullet that can be fired with a bed crossbow, although the power is not as great as this, but it is also very powerful, why don't we go to the two brothers for help." ”
Wu Yong was stunned for a moment and said, "Really? Then please ask Leader Song to repair the book quickly and let them come as soon as possible. ”
Song Jiang hurriedly went back to the camp to write a letter to Tong Meng and Zhang Heng, and after the letter was sent, Song Jiang told everyone about his new weapon in order to calm people's hearts.
The disadvantage is that within two quarters of an hour after Song Jiang finished speaking, the news that Liang Shan had dropped the bed crossbow and fired the fire oil arrow had already been sent to Zhu Wu, and Zhu Wu was stunned when he received the news.
This is going to use the weapons of the Ryukyus to kill him.,Although it's only a foreign trade version, it can still cause heavy casualties on the city wall under a sudden attack.,Especially at night.,But fortunately, there's still a few days to prepare.。
The first is the arson of the granary, which is very important and the most important thing, and the second is to check the inventory of fire oil bombs and formulate a battle plan, but fortunately, Zhang San has always paid attention to the reserve of war materials, especially Dulonggang, as the front line to resist Liangshan, has more than 10,000 rounds of fire oil bombs.
This kind of reserve was given to the Liangshan minions below to send two to each person, so Zhu Wu put a fire oil bomb on all sides of the city every quarter of an hour in accordance with the requirements of Liangshan's city defense code that afternoon to prevent the enemy's sneak attack.
Because it is a foreign trade version, the range of the fire oil arrows fired by this bed crossbow is not advantageous to the ballistas of the Ryukyus, not to mention that the Ryukyus have been restricting the export of fire oil, and the Ryukyus have special fire extinguishing methods that can minimize losses.
The so-called method of extinguishing the fire is to cover it with a wet cloth or bury it with sand, these things are very common, and there are preparations on the city wall, Zhu Wu does not think that Liangshan can make any waves by relying on a few crossbows, but the person who operates the crossbow arrows on the other side is indeed a problem.
The crossbow arrows may be operated by Zhang Heng and Tong Meng's people, since the two are from the Ryukyus, then his subordinates are naturally half of the Ryukyu soldiers, and there will inevitably be casualties when attacking each other, and Zhu Wu, as the president of the entire Shandong, has to face this problem.
How to play a good show of one's own people beating one's own people under the surveillance of others, and not being seen by others, this is a challenge, Zhu Wu arranged the defense of Dulonggang on the one hand, and commanded the deployment of the Liangshan army on the other.
Zhu Wu didn't understand why he made a Liangshan issue so troublesome? It may be better to arrange one's own people to do it instead of arranging one's own people to do it with Zhang San's current arrangement for Liang Shan, and looking at Zhang San like this, he wants to support Liang Shan and is afraid that Liang Shan will become bigger, what is the purpose of doing this law?
