Chapter 108: The Siege of the Barbarians
Luo Gou returned to the phalanx with more than a hundred Banyu warriors. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
And this time Luo Ming did not show up, but through the Ban Yu Man eyeliner that he bought, he learned that Luo Gou was captured by the Chengdu official army again, and then returned safely again.
Luo Ming can already be sure that this Luo Gou has indeed betrayed Yi Yi!
The most troublesome thing is that he is still in the phalanx of Ban Yuman.
Although Luo Ming knew that he was outnumbered, he also knew that if he led people to choose to leave now, he would inevitably be attacked by the barbarians, and it would be a dead end at that time.
So Luo Ming calmed down and prepared a suitable opportunity to escape, of course, the escape here refers to Luo Ming leaving with a few cronies, as for the remaining private soldiers of the Hao family, Luo Ming can't take care of it, not to mention their life or death, for Luo Ming doesn't care.
Just as Luo Ming was planning an escape route, Luo Gou had already begun to reorganize his troops and horses, preparing to attack Chengdu City in a tentative manner.
Luo Gou took 500 leather-armored Banqi warriors as the vanguard, with fifteen ladders and a rushing cart, and then sent all the only 100 or so archers to take cover.
As for the rest of the troops, they basically had to shout and cheer at the back, because of the lack of ladders, it was impossible for Luo Gou to invest more troops to come to the city and serve as a live target for the archers of the Chengdu official army.
And the siege weapons provided by Luo Gou in his hand are also the most rudimentary version.
For example, a ladder is a ladder of sufficient height, with iron hooks installed at the bottom and head to prevent it from being easily pushed down by the defenders.
And rushing the car, to put it bluntly, is a board car, with a rope fixed with a sharpened log, Luo Gou looked at the gate of Chengdu City, very suspicious that even if it hits a day and a night, it may not be able to break the city gate.
All in all, Luo Gou had little hope for this siege, but because he sent people to supervise him in the back, Luo Gou had to send people to make a show.
Luo Gou had already made up his mind, as long as the situation was wrong, he would order to stop the siege, and then set up camp and honestly besiege Chengdu City.
Half an hour later, the Ban Yu army advanced to a mile from the city wall, and then, according to the original plan, the vanguard of more than 600 men began to attack the city.
Liu Xin led everyone to the city wall, and saw that Ban Yuman only invested more than 600 people to attack the city, and the siege weapons were not only rudimentary, but also small in number, so he knew that Ban Yuman's attack was just for show.
However, this is exactly what Liu Xin intended, Luo Gou's attack was obviously to perfunctory his subordinates, so as long as he "cooperated" with Luo Gou's attack, then Luo Yi's subordinates would be even more suspicious of Luo Gou.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin said to Jiang Wei: "Boyo, you let the soldiers defending the city put down the water, as long as you suppress the siege of the Ban Yu barbarians, try not to use killing moves, you should understand what I mean." ”
Jiang Wei smiled and nodded, then turned around and instructed the soldiers on the city wall to wait for the barbarian siege, do not use falling rocks and hot oil, the archers try to shoot where there are few people, and the spearmen who are responsible for dealing with the ladder do not kill them, and try to poke the enemy's arms and shoulders as much as possible.
The spearmen mentioned here are genuine spears, the spears equipped for the soldiers defending the city are more than six meters long, and Liu Xin has also seen spears of nearly ten meters, so these spearmen are professionally trained to be able to use such super-sized weapons to poke and kill enemies who climb the ladder.
At Liu Xin's signal, the archers on the city wall did not care at all to carry out projectiles, and a round of arrow rain fell, killing and injuring more than 20 Ban Yuman.
After two rounds of arrow rain, the siege troops of the Ban Yu Barbarian arrived at the foot of Chengdu City "smoothly", and the ladder was also "smoothly" built, and the Ban Yu Barbarian soldiers began to climb the cloud ladder and prepare to attack the city.
As for the rushing car, because of the quality problem, it was scrapped on the way because of the damage to the wheels.
At this time, the Ban Yu Barbarian army finally suffered the most "fierce" "resistance" from the Chengdu official army, and there were constantly Ban Yu barbarian soldiers who were attacked by the spearmen of the Chengdu official army and were injured and fell down the ladder.
Moreover, the Chengdu officials and soldiers also poured hot oil, of course, the temperature of this pot of hot oil was only about 40 degrees, and taking into account the temperature in winter, and the height difference when it fell on the Ban Yu barbarian soldiers, the actual temperature was more than 30 degrees, and basically did not cause any substantial damage.
And the biggest loss to the Ban Yu Barbarians was their own archers, because most of the weapons were simple hunting bows, plus the city wall as high as twenty meters, the arrows shot by the Ban Yu Barbarian archers basically failed to resist gravity and flew up the city wall, but shot their own people when they fell...
In this way, a seemingly evenly matched, but in fact it was like a siege battle at home, after lasting less than a quarter of an hour, Luo Gou saw that there was no possibility of capturing Chengdu City, so he Mingjin withdrew his troops, and the Chengdu official army did not take advantage of the fire to rob when they found out that Ban Yu was withdrawing, and directly stopped the attack.
Jiang Wei counted the losses, only six unlucky city guards, unfortunately were injured by Ban Yuman's bow and arrows, and one spearman was caught by Ban Yuman because of his spear, and as a result, his hands were strained, and the spear was also taken away by Ban Yuman...
After counting the losses, it was found that a total of 56 people died, of which more than 70% were killed by the arrows of their own people, and then 181 people were lightly injured and 36 people were seriously injured, and more than half of the injured people were also injured by friendly forces.
After listening to the battle damage statistics with a black face, Luo Gou knew that he would not send the barbarian archer troops, so that the losses would be reduced by half.
And after Luo Ming learned of the battle damage report, he was even more furious and scolded Luo Gou, this is already a blatant anti-counterfeiting war.
After thinking about it, Luo Ming decided to strike preemptively and find trouble with Luo Gou, so that he could justifiably escape from here after "exposing" Luo Gou, so that Yi Yi would not blame himself, but he still had credit to take.
Thinking of this, Luo Ming brought a few guards, found Luo Gou with a fierce attitude, and said loudly: "Leader Luo, why did you stop attacking the city so quickly?" ”
Luo Gou frowned, and scolded angrily: "Don't you have eyes? Don't you see that we can't take it? Do you want my people to die in vain? ”
Luo Gou's series of rhetorical questions made Luo Ming speechless, and Luo Gou also looked at himself angrily, making Luo Ming's back soaked in cold sweat.
Only then did Luo Ming remember that he was the leader of the Ban Barbarian in front of him.
Luo Ming instantly shortened by half a cut.
