The rebels outside the Burmese Pass had not seen the rebels who had taken a detour around the path to raid Lincang City open the city gate for a long time, and at this time they could only withdraw from the range of the catapult and stare closely at the city gate with the last glimmer of hope.

Su You looked at the rebels under the city who were cowering, and had already predicted the outcome of their return.

After hearing that the sneak attackers had been killed several times by Zhao Man and Zhang Muchong to form a confrontation situation, Su You secretly recruited the remaining elites of Dong Jiao and Xi Jiao, and decisively withdrew the fourth team of city defenders led by Zhao Hu from the city wall, and ordered them to use catapults to strike a powerful blow to the sneak attackers.

After passing down these orders, Su You looked at the eager eyes of the three hundred guards on the city wall, and finally couldn't help but say, "Come on, you can go with me to the city to kill for a while!" ”

Wang Dynasty Ma Han knew that it was dangerous for Su You to do this, but how could he say half a word?

After the catapult had attacked the sneak attackers three times, Zhao Hu ordered to stop their attack, while Su You led his three hundred guards directly to the east gate.

When Zhao Man and Zhang Mu learned that the rebel sneak attackers were going to retreat the same way, they didn't even have to wait for Su You's order, so they rushed over and beat the water dogs.

But their combat effectiveness is nothing in front of Su You's three hundred guards, not to mention that Su You and these people have a spear and armor all in their hands, and the horses that Su You and they ride alone are enough to throw them dozens of streets.

If the combat effectiveness of the rebels and the cavalry of the East and West can still be opened, then when they face Su You, they can only take this way.

In the face of Su You and the cavalry of the East and West Planners in turn, the rebel raiders had long lost the motivation to fight, and when Zhang Long appeared on their escape path with three hundred other guards with torches, they were completely desperate.

In this battle, Duan Ruqi sent 3,000 forward troops to launch a surprise attack on Lincang City, but less than 100 people were able to safely leave Lincang City and flee back, and half of the remaining 2,900 people were killed, and nearly 1,500 were captured.

When Duan Ruqi learned the news from the soldiers who had fled back, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Duan Ruqi sent these 3,000 forwards to insert them into Lincang City like sharp knives, and rushed directly from the east gate to the gate of Mening, opening the city gate so that his army could take advantage of it; It's a pity that because of Peng Sheng's demonic sixth sense, they are doomed to failure.

Speaking of which, it is also strange that Duan Ruqi has more than IQ and lack of experience, and his mistake is that his siege army was assembled too early, and he also believed too much that his forward army could still fight against the cavalry in the city without the help of horses.

If it weren't for the catapult plan, maybe he would have quietly left after this defeat.

On the other side, although Su You's guards did not have any casualties, the elites of Dong Fu and Xi Ji still lost 20%, and Su You needed 200 people each to guard the prisoners, so after this night, Su You's hands were also stretched.

What Su You is thinking about now is to hope that Princess Biyun of the Showa Kingdom will arrive soon.

Su You, who won the battle, also tossed and turned like Duan Ruqi this night, and did not fall asleep until dawn, but fortunately, he slept really comfortably this night, and no one asked him to get up this day.

At noon, Su You naturally woke up, and it was really commendable for him to sleep until noon at the forefront of the war.

But Su You's mood at the moment did not become comfortable because of this sleep, because at this time, the country of Showa and Biyun should appear in Lincang City; But he still thought too much, not only did these two not appear at the dock in Lincang City, but they were also fifty miles north of Lincang Chen Pier!

So Su You stayed up from noon to afternoon, and from the morning of the next day to noon

In the evening, when Su You asked the soldiers who had returned from patrolling in the upper reaches of the Lancang River as usual, there was still no news of Princess Biyun and Jian Guozhao as usual.

In desperation, Su You had to routinely go to the city to boost morale, and take a look at the scenery outside the city by the way.

After getting along with Su You day and night in the past few days, seeing that Su You not only made a catapult, but also arranged the defense of the city in an orderly manner, and even took the lead when Su You charged into battle, so the soldiers at the head of the city worshiped him like a god.

After all, Su You's official position is a civil official, isn't it?

Feeling the heartfelt greetings from the soldiers, Su You also swore to them, "You are doing your best to defend the city, and let the rebels cut down the bravery of our Nanzhong generals, you are all good!" Let's hold on for a few more days, and when the reinforcements arrive, this official will definitely ask for a reward for you to the king of Nanzhong! ”

The soldiers listened to Su You's encouragement, and they applauded, and a satisfied smile involuntarily appeared on their haggard faces.

The cheers fell, but a dull trumpet sounded outside the city.

"The rebels are coming to die again?" After Peng Sheng had been in danger for the past few days, he obviously didn't take Duan Ruqi to heart anymore, and he actually made a joke beside Su You at this moment.

Su You nodded, but when he turned his head and saw the catapults under the city slowly advancing towards the city gate, he couldn't help but be startled.

There are no less than 500 catapults under the city!

When did they start building cars? How can there be so many? Is this the rhythm of filling Lincang City with stones?

When Peng Sheng saw the catapult outside the city, he couldn't help but be taken aback, "Envoy, this"

Su You ignored Peng Sheng's surprise, and after calming down, he hurriedly ordered, "Order Zhang Long to lead the first team to the city and suppress them with bows and crossbows; ordered Zhao Hu to lead a catapult to bombard the outside of the city without stopping; ordered the four teams of defenders to clear the stones in the cave of the city gate first; Order Zhao Man and Zhang Muhe to form two teams as one, leaving 400 people to guard the prisoners, all of them are ready to go, and Zhao Man will lead them to the south gate to stand by."

When Su You's order was passed down, Duan Ruqi also launched the order for a general attack at the same time; Next is the duel between Su You's 300 catapults in the city and Duan Ruqi's more than 500 catapults in the city!

The catapults of the defending side are international goods brought by Su You, and the cannonballs are mainly fired mud balls; The catapult of the besieging party is an improved version of the copycat, using cannonballs and mainly stones.

In this comparison, it is obvious that Duan Ruqi's firepower is more sufficient, but the fly in the ointment is that their geographical location is a little awkward, and the besieging side obviously has one more gravitational potential energy on each shell than the cannonball on the rebel side; This gravitational potential energy caused by the difference in altitude will inevitably add a kinetic energy to their attack

Another advantage of the defenders is that Lincang City is relatively large, and they can dodge the cannonballs flying under the city at will, but the people under the city can't do this.

The attack orders of both sides were ordered, and the catapults defending the city attacked the rebels' catapults and soldiers, but the rebels' catapults first smashed the city gate and then smashed into the city.

Listening to several stones whizzing past him, Peng Sheng hurriedly pushed Su You, "Envoy, let's go down to the city first?" ”

When Su You was about to speak, he heard a few "bang" sounds, and saw that it was the local stone that had knocked down the mud balls and hot oil that had accumulated earlier

"It's good to order them to go down!" Su You frowned, and walked towards the city.

When I reached the ground, there were a few big stones around me that fell down "ping pong", and smashed the ground into several big holes at once; Some stones fell directly on the roofs of houses not far from the city wall, which was naturally invincible.

Peng Sheng watched those houses being smashed, and couldn't help but give Su You a thumbs up and said, "It's really prescient for the envoy to let them withdraw from the city!" ”

Su You smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The withdrawal is still not complete enough, the reason why they made the catapult must be that these people who helped us make the catapult are mixed with spies." ”

After Su You mentioned it, Peng Sheng also realized this immediately, but what could he say?

In fact, it doesn't matter if the spies or anything else, if the army sent by Jian Guoming and Jian Guozhao has already been killed at this time, what is the use of the spies? I'm afraid that I would have crushed it and captured Duan Ruqi a long time ago, right?

Su You walked towards the catapult convoy commanded by Zhao Hu, and Wang Dynasty Mahan and more than a dozen guards around them guarded Su You tightly, keeping a close eye on the rocks that might fly overhead as if they were facing a great enemy, so as not to hurt him.

After walking dozens of steps, he saw a man dressed as a scout hurriedly running towards Su You.

Unexpectedly, a few rocks suddenly flew at this time, and the man couldn't dodge, and was instantly hit in the leg by a stone, and he couldn't help screaming.

"Are you alright?" Su You hurriedly walked over, squatted down and asked with concern.

"It's okay. I came here to report the situation ahead to the envoy, the army of General Zhenxi and Princess Biyun has entered the Lincang realm, and there are still fifty miles to go to the dock."

"Hurt the city and say it's okay like this? Someone comes, carry him down for treatment first! Su You looked at the man in front of him with pity, and his face sank for a while.

Peng Sheng heard the scout's words, and immediately cheered, "Are they finally here!" We're saved. ”

"Are we saved?" Su You snorted, how did they play the role of savior? Isn't the savior supposed to play himself?

"By the way, the envoy, you just ordered the soldiers to remove the stones from the city gate cave, is this what you want?" Peng Sheng suddenly remembered the question that he had been holding back for a long time, and asked nervously.

Su You replied, "Have you heard of Emperor Yao Chang of Qin Wuzhao after that?" ”

Peng Sheng shook his head blankly.

Su You immediately said, "Yao Chang once used 1,600 people to defeat the 100,000 iron cavalry besieging the city, and after this battle, less than 3,000 of the 100,000 soldiers who besieged the city were able to leave alive. ”

Peng Sheng looked at Su You in disbelief, is this telling a story?
