353 Linzi Defense Battle III
"Puff puff ......"
Although the vast majority of the guards of the Linzi city are recruits, they use arrow array projectiles, which are not accurate, but intensive, so there is not much technical content. Two rounds of arrows rained down, and hundreds of people fell in Yuan's army formation.
Seeing that the arrows thrown by the Linzi guards were faster and faster, Yan Liang hurriedly called out to the soldiers to speed up the charge. In an instant, Yuan's army array arrived seventy steps away from the city wall. In the middle of the battle, the archers spread their longbows and threw sharp arrows onto the walls.
The guards of the city were inexperienced, and in the face of the cold light, the long arrows that covered the sky were panicked for a while. Hundreds of people were killed on the spot.
Li Su was in a hurry and scolded, "Is the shield an ornament?" Raise the shield, raise the shield quickly. ”
At the urging of the veterans, the recruits, who saw blood for the first time, reacted and shivered behind their shields.
Patriarch Luan Lu saw the recruits who had tasted war for the first time, and after seeing the arrows in their robes, they clearly showed a look of fear, and their morale dropped significantly. Immediately ordered, "Where is the choir of the labor propaganda team?" Military music is played. ”
Suddenly, the bells and drums on the city wall rang out in unison, the gongs and cymbals sounded, and a row of divine servants held simple iron horns that were wide in front and narrow in the back and raised their heads, "It seems that there are two armies in the world that are against the enemy, that is, evil and good, and I must belong to one side, and I cannot stand in the middle...... Ready, ......"
The veterans defending the city immediately followed the servants of the Labor Propaganda Team to lead and sing, "It seems that there are two armies in the world that are evil and good against each other, and I must belong to one side, and I cannot stand in the middle." I am the personal soldier of the Great Lady, and I will be with my commander, and though the enemy is vicious, the Lord can protect it, and if there is victory, there will be no defeat. The commandments which the Lord has revealed to me are written in the holy book, that I may obey them and never break them. I am a soldier of the Most Holy Mother of Heaven, and I will follow my commander, although the enemy is vicious, the Lord can protect it, and if there is victory, there will be no defeat, both good and evil. ”
Driven by the majestic singing, the lights of fear in the hearts of the recruits gradually dimmed, and their trembling voices emitted the same notes as the veterans, singing sacred songs in unison. After chanting the lyrics for a short time, the fear was swept away, and the body and mind were filled with holy energy.
Emotions of anger and excitement converge in their eyes, and surging power is contained in every corner of their bodies. "Come on! Dog thief, come on! ”
Yuan Bing was near, and he was closer. They lifted the ladder and climbed the city wall.
Roll the wood......
At the top of the city, powerful guards went back and forth between corners, lifting boulders and throwing them down the city.
"This won't work!" Li Su stepped forward to stop, "No matter how much strength you have to move around like this, you have to run out." Line up, relay! ”
"Whoa!" Countless neat queues were lined up on the city wall in an instant, and a guard at the end of the line was close to the female wall root on the inner side of the city wall, and at his feet were piles of rolling wood, thunder stones, and wolf tooth beats. He picked it up and handed it to the one in front of him, who passed it forward, all the way to the strongest guard at the front. He threw out of the city and smashed it into the Yuan soldiers under the city.
For a time, all kinds of sharp weapons to defend the city fell from the city, and immediately took the lives of countless Yuan soldiers. Everywhere there were smashed and sparse bodies, and the internal organs of people who were scattered outside the body, and blood was splattered all over the walls.
The siege of the city Yuan soldiers were all shocked.
If the rolling wood and stone rely on the huge gravitational potential energy to inflict heavy damage, then the wolf tooth slap can be said to be the most terrifying existence among the many city defense equipment. The guy was more than seven feet long, covered with sharp iron nails, and he was smashed down from a high place, and he died on the edge, and he died in a tragic state, leaving no corpse.
In addition to the wolf tooth slap, the Linzi guards also threw a large number of Molotov cocktails under the city.
At first, a group of Yuan soldiers also said that the Linzi guards had gone crazy, and actually sealed the most expensive wine of the Han Dynasty in an equally expensive glass vessel and threw it out.
There are even more greedy people scrambling to pick up the pie that fell from the sky, but the moment they got close to the landing point, they regretted it. The glass bottle fell to the ground, the alcohol was diffuse, and it was instantly ignited by the heat, and the fire spread out at once, and it immediately fell into a raging fire within a radius of one zhang.
An incendiary bottle still has such power, thousands of incendiary bottles hit the ground at the same time, and countless Yuan soldiers fell into the sea of fire, letting out a scream like a ghost crying wolf. "Ah......h
At this time, Li Su added fuel to the fire again, pouring the hot oil boiling on the city into the city. Billowing smoke immediately rose in front of Linzi City, further expanding the area of the sea of fire, and more than 7,000 Yuan soldiers on the city wall of the four sides were deeply caught in the fire, and those who were burned to death by boiling oil, burned to death, and those who were shot dead by the church guards took the opportunity to die, no longer a few, thousands of dead, and countless wounded.
Suddenly, Yuan Bing was scared, and Yuan Bing was so timid that he didn't even think about it, so he turned around and ran. One fled and ten thousand followed.
Yan Liang knew that the army's heart was no longer there, so he had to withdraw his troops for the time being.
Seeing Yuan Bing retreat like a tide, Li Su let out a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Holy Mother bless." ”
But Our Lady blesses today, what about tomorrow? In the battle just now, the recruits under his command barely had much contact with Yuan Jun's hand-to-hand soldiers, only ate two rounds of arrows, and more than 600 soldiers died after a simple handover. If the Yuan army rushes to the wall tomorrow, will they be able to withstand the fierce Yuan soldiers?
What made Li Su even more worried was that the guards had thrown all the Molotov cocktails out today, and there was not much boiling oil left, which meant that there would be no more moats like today's tomorrow. "O Our Lady! Help us......" As he kept babbling, the camera paused as he swept to a broken Molotov cocktail beneath the city.
Then he remembered the scene where Yuan Bing was fighting for the glass bottle, and sneered at the soldiers behind him: "These greedy people! Even Molotov cocktails dare to rob, this treasure is also what you can rob? Bring about one's own destruction! ”
Everyone laughed.
As soon as the sneering words crossed his lips, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Greed! Greedy? Pregnant. ”
Early the next morning, the war drums of Yanliang Dazhai sounded again. After the first battle yesterday, the Yuan army, which had only 29,000 soldiers and horses left, formed a solid array and poured into Linzi City again. It's just that today, they have obviously learned the lesson of yesterday, and the shield arrays are tightly lined up to resist the dense rain of arrows thrown from the city wall.
It's just that to Yan Liang's surprise, the arrow rain on Linzi City today has not only not strengthened compared to yesterday, but has weakened a lot.
What shocked him even more was that from the moment he stepped out of Yuan Jun's village, the soldiers at the head of Linzi City were busy, shouting neat trumpets from left to right. At first, he thought that the church guards were carrying the equipment of the city guards, but when his soldiers and horses were less than 70 steps away from the city wall, he saw that the church guards in the city poured the things they had carried into the city, and they were silver cakes with white flowers and dazzling gold cakes, in addition to the bronze coins skewered together, coral, antlers, jade, and silk, all of which were of value.
Seeing these things, Yuan Jun's eyes turned green in an instant. How much does it cost! Two pieces of gold cake are enough to live a lifetime of leisure, if you take something else......
Just by the expressions on the faces of the Yuan soldiers, Li Su knew that his plan had succeeded. In fact, most of the gold and silver in the city are the deposits of the people in the vault of the Linzi church. At first, Luan Lu did not let him use it, and he was not allowed to embezzle the believers' savings without an order from the sect master.
Li Su persuaded Luan Lu with a big tongue and told Luan Lu that if Linzi was captured by Yan Liang, there would be no eldest son left in the treasury. Rather than that, it is better to take out a part of it as military resources for him to design. In that way, after successfully defending Linzi, it will be replenished in the future, and it will not bring any losses.
Luan Lu weighed it again and again, and felt that what Li Su said was not unreasonable. He handed over the key to the vault to Li Su.
Li Su took a part of it and poured it under the city, in order to take advantage of the greedy habits of the Yuan soldiers, disintegrate their morale, and split their formation.
Sure enough, after seeing the real money, more than 20,000 Yuan soldiers were boiling and chaotic. Rushing to the bottom of the city, there were no shield soldiers, spearmen, and even soldiers who resisted the ladder threw down the ladder, rushed to the root of the city wall, and began to grab gold and silver.
Many soldiers also shouted and even fought because of the uneven distribution of gold and silver, and finally fought against each other and killed each other.
Seeing this, Yan Liang was in a hurry, ordered the three armies not to fight for property, and personally led the supervising team to the front line to supervise the army.
But the chaos has been created, where are the tens of thousands of chaotic Yuan soldiers who still have people to obey orders! Having said that, even if they wanted to regroup, Li Su would not be able to let them succeed.
With the melodious sound of the trumpet, the guards of the city head suddenly burst out, slapping bows, rolling logs, stones, and wolf teeth into the chaotic crowd of Yuan troops.
Yuan Bing, who was full of gold and silver, remembered that there was still an enemy above his head, but at this time, it was too late to defend himself and resist. The overwhelming crossbow bolts fell from the sky at such a close distance, falling into the dense crowd, and in an instant, they set off a flood of blood. Coupled with continuous boulders and rolling logs...... It's like cutting wheat, and put down a piece of Yuan's pawn.
At this moment, the gate of Linzi, which had been sealed for a long time, suddenly opened, revealing Li Su's figure wearing a purple gold leaf chain armor. He personally went into battle and led 1,000 soldiers and horses out of the city. At the moment of his departure from the gates, he raised his gun and shouted, "Brothers, let me kill the thief!" Defeated Yuan Bing, and the gold and silver outside the city are all yours. ”
There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and when they heard that they could get so much silver for defeating the enemy, the 1000 church guards suddenly felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, their eyes glowed red, and every cell in their bodies was filled with infinite power. Entering the enemy formation, according to the chaotic Yuan soldiers, there was a burst of slashing and slashing.
The number of kills was so great that it was impossible to count, and no one knew how many heads were cut off. I just feel that my hands are numb when I kill people, and even the head of the gun has become dull a lot in the fight.
At the moment when the city gate opened, Yan Liang quickly caught Li Su's figure. Seeing Li Su rushing back and forth in his own formation, he immediately led his own soldiers to meet him. But there were soldiers and horses everywhere along the way, blocking his way. Angry, he yelled, "Get out of here, get out of the way." ”
Finally drove the roadblockers away, Li Su's figure in the line of sight was getting closer and closer, and Yan Liang roared angrily: "Don't that thief be rampant, you have the ability to fight with a certain family." ”
