Chapter Ninety-Three: Liang's Father City

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Liangfu City is close to mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is only more than 20 miles away from Yangguan, and it is only more than 40 miles away from Jupingcheng, and the enemy reinforcements can be killed at any time, while the Xuzhou Righteous Army only has three regiments and 600 people, and there is no feasibility of attacking the city.

However, if he did not attack Liang's father city, he would not be able to pose a threat to Yangguan, let alone help Meng Rang break through the danger of Yangguan.

At this time, the scouts who rushed to Juping and Liang's father to inquire about the military situation reported to Li Fengyun and saw an official army hurrying towards Qufu. This shows that Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming's attack on the front line of Surabaya played a role, Duan Wencao really asked Zhang Xutuo for help, and Zhang Xutuo also hurriedly went south to support.

The opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come, Li Fengyun resolutely ordered to attack the city immediately.

Before the siege, Li Fengyun summoned Du Fuwei and ordered him to take a few little brothers over the mountains and mountains to the north of Yangguan, get in touch with Meng Rang, and make an appointment to attack Yangguan together.

How did the three regiments storm the city? Xu Shisan, the captain of the Fengyun Regiment, Hai Dongqing, the captain of the Eighth Regiment, and Nan Yutang, the captain of the Ninth Regiment, all looked at Li Fengyun with blank eyes, expecting him to come up with a clever plan.

"At dusk, Captain Hai and Captain Nan led the army to light a fire outside the southern city, covering the city with billowing smoke, beating drums and trumpets, waving flags and shouting, and launching intermittent attacks with arrow arrays, attracting all the officers and troops defending the city to the southern city." Li Fengyun pointed at Xu Thirteen, "Captain Xu led the Fengyun Regiment to lurk outside the Dongcheng City, prepare all the siege equipment, and once he saw an attack signal in the city, he would attack the city with all his might." ”

The three captains looked at each other with puzzled expressions, not knowing what Li Fengyun had to plan for him to appear in Liang's Father City.

"The general is going to put his life at risk?" Xu Shisan couldn't help but ask.

Li Fengyun shook his hand at him, signaling that he didn't need to worry, "The sewer channel in Liang's father's city is connected to the moat surrounding the city, and the moat is connected to the outer river to its north, so as long as you bring a few brothers with good water quality, sneak into the moat from the outer river, and then cut the iron fence separating the moat from the city channel under water, you can enter Liangfu City." A certain fire is burning in the city, and when the fire rises to the sky, you will attack with fire. ”

This strategy seems simple, but the difficulty is extraordinary, first there is a distance between the river and the moat, and the defenders of the city will definitely be on full alert, if you want to enter the moat from the river, you must always dive underwater, this water is not generally good, ordinary sailors can not do; Secondly, the underwater iron fence is the focus of the city's defense, and its solidity can be imagined, and ordinary sharp weapons can't move it at all, unless it is a legendary divine weapon, and the legendary divine soldier can not be possessed by ordinary people?

"The general has a magic weapon?"

Xu Shisan didn't doubt Li Fengyun's wateriness, but he knew that Li Fengyun didn't have a divine weapon, so he couldn't destroy the solid underwater iron fence at all.

Li Fengyun smiled, "Of course there are divine weapons, otherwise how dare you risk your life?" ”

Xu Shisan was more suspicious and had the intention to dissuade him, but he also understood Li Fengyun's character, as long as Li Fengyun made up his mind, no one could stop him.

"Act immediately, before dusk, strive to take Liangfu City, and attack Yangguan."

The third lieutenant suddenly agreed and bowed down to receive the order.

The northern city of Liangfu City faced the turbulent river, and there was no need to deploy heavy troops, and the enemy figure appeared in the east, south, and west directions, so that the defenders in the city focused all their attention on the direction in which the enemy might attack, leaving only two fires and twenty village soldiers in the north city.

Luo Shixin only has 500 people in his hands, 500 people to defend a county town, the number of enemy troops is not much to support, if the enemy army is several times his own strength, he will not be able to hold it at all. But Luo Shixin knew that there was only one Linyi regiment in Yangguan, and there were only 500 people in the direction of Juping, so he had no way to ask for help, and if he begged, it was in vain, so he could only hold for as long as he wanted.

While the defenders inside the city were uneasy, the enemy forces outside the city moved, and they took their talents on the spot, cut down a large number of trees and piled them up outside the southern city, as if intending to set the trees on fire for lighting during the night attack. Based on this, Luo Shixin judged that the enemy army was going to attack in the direction of Nancheng, so he concentrated 300 township soldiers in Nancheng, deployed 50 township soldiers in the direction of Dongcheng and Xicheng, and 80 township soldiers were in the center to make preparations to support all sides at any time.

Almost at the same time, a raft appeared on the river outside the northern city, and about seven or eight topless enemy soldiers operated the raft and slowly approached the city, apparently intending to probe the movement of the northern city.

The village soldiers on the tower stared intently at the raft, fully alerted, their bows and arrows held high, and the arrows were ready when the enemy soldiers approached the moat.

Slowly, the raft turned into the passage between the outer river and the moat, approaching the firing distance of the longbow. The weapons of the township soldiers are basically ordinary weapons, such as horizontal swords, longbows, shields, etc., long knives, lances, strong bows, heavy crossbows, and other heavy weapons are still strictly forbidden to equip so far, and the range of more than 200 paces is specially equipped with light crossbows for individual soldiers, such as arm crossbows, horn bows and crossbows, which are already considered heavy weapons for the township soldiers. The two firefighters only had two horned crossbows, so the light crossbow fire was no threat to the enemy soldiers, and could only be regarded as a warning at best.

As soon as the light crossbows of the defenders of the city rang out, the arrows roared out, slashed through the air, and shot into the water by grazing the raft.

Instead of panicking, the enemy soldiers on the raft became arrogant, and with one arm and one crossbow, they fired a volley at the defenders of the city. It takes time for the crossbow's arrows to be reloaded, and when one round is finished, you have to stop and reload the arrows. The defenders of the city took advantage of this effort to stand up in unison, draw their longbows and shoot, but to their surprise, the enemy soldiers on the raft did not bury their heads in loading arrows, but took out a batch of loaded arm crossbows, aimed at the villagers standing in a row with Qi Shushu and fired another round of cavalry. The township soldiers in the city were caught off guard, shouted in panic, and hurriedly retracted their heads and bent down, but the flight of the crossbow arrows was too fast, and it was more than two hundred steps in the blink of an eye.

The enemy soldiers on the raft set up a shield array, sped up, and quickly rushed into the moat.

Angry and frightened, the soldiers of the city and the countryside hid behind the battlements, raised their longbows and horned crossbows, and fired indiscriminately.

The raft drove slowly down the moat under the fire of arrows from the city, as if looking for something. Guarding the city walls along with the village soldiers were a few other county officials, who immediately thought of the underwater iron fence that separated the channels and moats in the city. Enemy soldiers are looking for this iron fence and then trying to destroy it. When the two fire commanders of the township soldiers heard this, they immediately sent five strong men, with only two horned bows and crossbows, and followed those subordinates to the iron fence.

Dusk is approaching, the enemy soldiers are burning trees outside the southern city, for a time the fire is in the sky, the smoke is billowing out, and the fire borrows by the wind, the more it burns, the smoke is even more billowing up, and soon it envelops the city of Liangfu.

Then the drums and trumpets were noisy, and the shouts were even more earth-shattering. The enemy army was about to attack, and the thick smoke blocked the view, and the defenders on the city could not take advantage of the opportunity of the arrow array to effectively block the attack, and launched a fierce attack on the city.

Luo Shixin ordered, wait for the battle, kill the enemy in blood, and swear not to retreat.

As soon as his order was issued, the roar of arrows was heard in the thick fog, which was terrifying. "Buzzing ......" hundreds of long arrows came in an instant, smashing into the city tower like a raging storm, making people suffocating.

The shout of "kill ......" followed, like bursts of thunder, and exploded in the thick fog.

The "Buzz ......" long arrow came again, dense and violent, shooting the soldiers in the city and countryside, feeling that the end was coming.

Luo Shixin couldn't help but scold, straight lady thief, is this Yingyang Mansion or a thief army, if it is a thief army, how can its arrow array be so fierce? This arrow array is obviously from the strong bow and crossbow, and the strong bow and crossbow can only be equipped by the army of the Eagle Yang Mansion, could it be that this thief army outside the city is the Eagle Yang Mansion?

"Urgently report to the Qin Soldiers Division of Yangguan, the thieves in Xuzhou attacked Liang's father, and it is estimated that they will fight overnight, and the shape is critical."

The herald villagers thought that Luo Shixin still had a follow-up, and squatted by the wall and did not move. Luo Shixin was furious, raised his hand and gave him a head to taught, "Go and report the news." ”

The herald was startled, and hurriedly turned around and left. The enemy attack was so fierce, how could 500 men hold the city? The herald thought that Luo Shixin was going to ask for help from Yangguan, but Luo Shixin didn't mention it.

When the sound of killing in the direction of the south city shook the sky, the sky above the city was filled with black smoke, and the atmosphere was extremely tense, the battle on the north side of the city did not stop, and the defenders of the city stood up from time to time to shoot at the raft in the moat, and the shield array on the raft had been withdrawn, only two shields were still erected on the raft, it was estimated that there were only two enemy soldiers left behind the shield, and the rest dived into the water to destroy the iron fence.

Sure enough, there was movement on the other side of the iron fence. Five villagers raised their crossbows and fired into the water. A miracle was born, and streams of blood bubbled out of the water, and soon stained the surface of the water where the iron fence was located. If an enemy soldier is hit by an arrow, and if he is shot underwater, if he is wounded to the vital point, he will surely die.

The news was quickly delivered to the city walls. The townsmen on the city wall immediately raised their shields and lay on the battlements to carefully observe the raft in the river. There were still two shields on the raft, and it was estimated that two people were hiding behind the shields, and none of the other divers appeared. Is there such a coincidence? The enemy soldiers who dived into the water were shot to death while breaking the iron fence? When he was in doubt, the shield on the raft was removed again, and another person went into the water, presumably because he saw that his companion had not shown up for a long time, and went into the water to look for it. Soon, the divers appeared, dragging one in their hands, and behind them, there were red blood stains floating on the water.

"Dead, really dead, all shot dead." One of the villagers suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, excited.

"Shoot, shoot them...... "One of the bolder villagers jumped up, raised his longbow, aimed at the enemy in the water, and shot an arrow. More villagers followed, full of anger and the thrill of killing the enemy, and fired wildly at the raft and its surrounding waters.
