Chapter 101: Defending the City of Languan
The next day.
As soon as the sky was bright, Xiang Lin's army came to the city of Languan, this time he prepared enough siege equipment, in fact, the so-called siege equipment is a series of sturdy ladders, about dozens of them, enough for siege purposes.
Xiang Lin ordered to the drummer beside him: "Drum challenge!" ”
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Knock knock
After a full round of three drums, Languan City did not have the slightest movement, Xiang Lin snorted coldly, and said: "If you don't engage in battle, then forcibly attack the city, pass on the general's order, and five hundred people will be an echelon, and they will attack and kill in turn." ”
"Order." While flying out of a horse, he ran to the front army with two small flags.
On the city wall, Liao Yun has been waiting here for a long time, and all the equipment for defending the city has been prepared, such as falling rocks, two hundred archers, boiling oil, giant trees, etc., but because the time is too hasty, there are not many preparations, but it is no problem to hold on for half a day.
Seeing that the enemy was approaching the city gate in two siege phalanxes one after another, Liao Yun looked around and said: "Defend the city for me, no one is allowed to go to the city, shoot with bows and arrows thirty steps away, attack with falling rocks and giant trees within ten steps, all the pikemen are in array, as long as the enemy climbs up, give me the bucket down." ”
"Yes," shouted all the soldiers.
The first batch of soldiers defending the city were all elite soldiers, just in case, Liao Yun put the 1,000 recruits in the back as a reserve, and never used them until the last resort, it was too dangerous to defend the city with new soldiers.
The first siege phalanx had already attacked the city, and Liao Yun personally picked up a bow and arrow, which was like a meteor, and shot directly at the enemy soldier carrying the ladder: "Archers, shoot me hard, only shoot the enemy soldier who carries the ladder." ”
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Two hundred archers raised their arrows and fired straight at them, and each sharp arrow went towards the enemy, although there were not many archers, but their power should not be underestimated.
Puff puff
A round of shooting, a hundred echelons in the phalanx immediately killed twenty people, five of them were soldiers carrying ladders, a ladder needed eight people to carry, five died at once, three people suddenly felt the weight of the ladder, slowed down, but this was all temporary, those soldiers holding shields next to them saw it, and immediately stepped forward to make up for it, and then the speed of the march returned to normal.
Lifting a boulder and throwing it down the city, Liao Yun said loudly: "Falling rocks attack." ”
Pieces of falling stones, huge trees to the city to throw, suddenly, the enemy army under the city came a large number of wailing sounds, just arrived at the city under the enemy army were smashed into meat sauce by the boulder, the south wall of Languan City is as high as four zhang, the power of the boulder falling is stronger than any attack, when it falls on the enemy, there are thousands of catties of weight, ** bear, the miserable scene can be imagined.
"Quick, put the ladder up." A centurion under the city shouted.
Bang bang bang
Five ladders were erected at the same time and placed on top of the wall, and all the enemy troops climbed up the ladder at a rapid pace.
When Liao Yun saw it, he immediately took a halberd, there is a pole on the top of this weapon, which can push the ladder out, he held the halberd and suddenly went to the ladder, and said loudly: "Don't stop the falling stones, take advantage of the enemy has not climbed up, and give me the ladder to go out." ”
At this time, the enemy army had not climbed much up, the weight of the ladder was not heavy, Liao Yun used his strength, and pushed it out more than a zhang away, and then the ladder lost its center of gravity and fell backwards.
The others also operated like Liao Yun, but they didn't have as much strength as Liao Yun, and they couldn't push it after only pushing it out for one meter, and finally had to give up.
"Boiling water, pour boiling water."
The siege team continued to fall from mid-air and attacked for nearly two hours, and the soldiers in the middle had attacked the city many times, but they were all repelled by Liao Yun and the pikemen on the city.
At the rear of Minglan's army, Xiang Lin frowned and said: "This Languan City is too high, it is really not easy to capture it, these thousand people are about to die, if you continue like this, I am afraid it will be useless to put all these soldiers in." ”
When the four strong men heard this, even one of them said: "If I go, I don't believe that I can't take this small city pass." ”
"Okay, with your help, great things can be done."
As soon as Xiang Lin finished speaking, the strong man rushed forward with a horse's belly, and at the same time, Xiang Lin once again ordered the two siege phalanxes to continue the siege.
Liao Yun stood on the city wall, he was a little worried in his heart, the attack just now in the past two hours, the soldiers had already died more than three hundred, if there was another round like this, he would have to use recruits to defend the city, and the recruits had not undergone any training, and the luck was unpredictable.
"Listen, the second wave of the enemy's attack is coming, and they have all defended the city for me, and if we lose the city, we will all have to die."
"Yes."
With such a strong pass, all the soldiers are highly motivated, especially the side defending the city, the wave of attacks just now is so fierce, but they have also been repulsed, they are full of confidence!
At this time, the enemy arrived again, and the strong man under the city held a sledgehammer, just like Zhang Meng's outfit, but much fatter than Zhang Meng, and stepped on the ladder to concave downward.
The boulder fell, the strong man snorted coldly, the sledgehammer went up, and the boulder weighing hundreds of catties was slapped aside, and then continued to move forward, although he was very fat, but the speed was not slow, and he climbed to the middle of the middle after a while.
Liao Yun was shocked when he saw it, he didn't expect the enemy to have such a master, and the boulder falling from such a high city wall was actually hard with a sledgehammer, how much strength did this have, Liao Yun asked himself, he couldn't do it himself.
"It seems that this fat man's martial arts are above me." Liao Yun frowned and muttered to himself.
Picking up the long knife behind him, he was ready to fight with the strong man, the long knife pointed at the strong man on the ladder, Liao Yun roared: "Smash it all for me, smash that fat man, don't let him go to the city." ”
When the centurion who was leading the archers in the distance heard this, he immediately commanded his two hundred archers to shoot at the strong man.
"Bow and arrow shooting."
At this time, the strong man had climbed to a place less than a foot away from the city wall, and suddenly heard the centurion in the city shouting, and was immediately startled, if it was only one or two arrow feathers, it could still use a sledgehammer to block it, but if the arrow feathers were too dense
"Don't let those arrows come in." This was the strong man's thoughts at this time, and with a low shout, he kicked hard under his feet, and stared at the tied ladder across two ladders, and at the same time, the strong man jumped up and rushed up the city wall.
Seeing that those archers had already raised their bows and arrows, he immediately took out the hammer in his hand without hesitation, the hammer weighed a hundred catties, and when the hammer fell, six archers were immediately stoned to death.
He landed steadily on the pier of the wall, with a look of disdain.
But at this moment, a long knife roared and went straight to his waist, this change made him unexpected, and now he no longer had any weapons in his hands, and in a hurry, he blocked the long knife with both hands.
But
Burst!
yes
The long knife cut off the strong man's waist, and the two terrifying broken corpses slowly fell down the city wall.
Liao Yun probed out from behind the wall pier, looked at it, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I finally solved you." ”
