Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Siege of the City
When the matter was agreed, the leaders withdrew from their tents and returned to their garrisons to prepare for the siege of the city tomorrow.
"Hmph, this Lei Ming really doesn't know what to do, and wants to treat my Montenegrin Army as a wronged leader and fight the autumn wind in the back?" in the poison road.
"Heh, I'm afraid he didn't fight this idea alone, which of these leaders is a good person, I'm afraid that at this time they are all dissatisfied with my order, but they are afraid that our army is the most powerful and dare not refute, but I just want to suppress people with power, since they want to get benefits, they have to pay, maybe after this attack on Hedong, our Montenegrin army will be the only force in the state." Zhou Cang Road.
"What do you mean?" Yu Poison seemed to think of something, and asked with joy on his face.
"Haha, then Liu Meng is not easy to follow, I guess that the difficulty of capturing Hedong this time will not be small, as long as these leaders have a large number of casualties, then we can take advantage of their slight situation to annex them, you must know that these people have hoarded a lot of wealth in the past few years, and after obtaining these wealth, our army can expand rapidly, and then there will be who is the opponent of my Montenegrin army." Zhou Cang laughed.
"Commander Wise." Yu Poison flattered the way.
"But this Lei Ming is indeed a thorn in the head, and the power is not weak, let him lead his troops to attack the city first tomorrow to test the strength of Liu Mengjun." Zhou Cang Road.
On the second day, more than 400,000 thieves appeared under the county town of Hedong, and Liu Meng also led the soldiers and people to wait on the city wall.
Standing on the tall city wall, you can't see the end of the thief queue, Liu Meng is now a battle-hardened person, and he has participated in several big battles before, so he is not afraid to arrive at this time.
The elite of his subordinates are also in a state of high morale, but those reorganized Xiliang soldiers are only in a calm state, but they are not to blame, in the face of several times the pressure of these ordinary soldiers of the enemy, Liu Meng is most worried about those people.
Xiang Yong
Melee Attack 5
Charge power 1
Armor Defense 1
Frightened
This attribute is 3 points higher than the melee attack of Xiang Yong in the game, because Liu Meng sent all the remaining weapons in the Hedong Mansion to these people, because the weapons are easy to wear out, so there is a stock, but there is no armor.
"This state of affairs is really worrying, and I still overestimate the psychological quality of these people. But it's not bad, at least I didn't turn around and run. Liu Meng sighed.
"Knock knock" With the sound of war drums, the thieves began to attack the city wall.
"Give it all to me, there is money and food in the city. Slaughtered into the city and plundered for three days. Lei Ming shouted.
This attack was led by Lei Ming, and he was responsible for leading the two slightly weaker thieves to attack the city this morning.
The dense rain of arrows continued to wash away the thieves who stormed the city walls, because these thieves were far less well-equipped than the regular army, so the thieves were constantly killed by arrows, but those thieves were not afraid or angry at the death of their comrades at all. For many years of life licking blood, there are companions dying every day, so that they take these very lightly, and people die for money, birds die for food, they only think about killing into the city to loot, and the death of a companion is one less person to compete with them.
After paying the price of thousands of lives, these thieves finally reached the city wall, and the ladder was also built on the city wall.
Liu Meng didn't expect a bow and arrow to repel these thieves, but he didn't have any worries before the thieves approached, let alone push the sorcerer out, these thieves' combat power was only a little higher than the original Yellow Turban Thieves, and he hadn't taken it seriously. He only has the Montenegrin Army in his eyes, and the Magnum's ammunition is a hard wound, so he wants to keep it to deal with the Montenegrin Army, which is relatively powerful.
The thieves began to climb the ladder with the rocks and rolling logs, and finally climbed the city wall and waited for them to be the soldiers of the Cangya battalion, Liu Meng did not let Xiliang descend to the front, he planned to repel the enemy's attack with an absolute advantage, so that all the thieves except the Black Mountain Army were afraid of their own army, so that they would not let these small fish and shrimp consume his strength, and he could concentrate on dealing with the Black Mountain Army.
Because of the siege war, the Cangya camp abandoned all the spears. They all stood at the head of the city with short-bladed shields, they were fearless in the face of these thieves, and the combat power of the two was not of the same level at all, especially the soldiers around Liu Meng, Xu Chu and others were even stronger because of the increase in the attributes of the main general. The attack power of up to a dozen points is even more extraordinary in the state of high morale, not to mention those thieves in sackcloth, even some thieves in leather armor were also killed by one of them.
The blood soon stained the city wall red, but most of them were left by the thieves, but Liu Mengjun did not suffer any casualties, and Hedong City kept strangling these thieves like a huge meat grinder.
Lei Ming looked secretly anxious under the city. The enemy's combat strength far exceeded his estimates, and the losses of his army exceeded 10,000 in an hour, but they did not occupy a single corner of the city wall.
"Leader Lei, it's not a way to go on like this, my men will have more than 2,000 dead and wounded." The leader of the other road who followed Lei Ming to attack the city together.
"I can't do this anymore, and if I continue to fight, I can't say that I will become the commander of the light pole." Lei Ming said secretly.
Lei Ming's loss was even greater, and more than 6,000 of his subordinates would be filled in.
"You wait here, I'll go find Commander Zhou."
After Lei Ming finished speaking, he hurriedly patted his horse and rushed to Zhou Cang's front and said: "Commander Zhou, my subordinates have suffered heavy casualties, is it time for other brothers to come forward and attack the city." ”
"Oh? Didn't Leader Lei say that the defenders of Hedong were not to be feared? It's only been an hour, why is it going to be taken down? Zhou Cang pretended to be puzzled.
Lei Ming was choked by Zhou Cang's words, but for the sake of his brother's life, he still showed his face and said: "I underestimated the enemy army before, but I didn't expect the enemy's combat strength to be so strong, and I hope that Commander Zhou will forgive me, our army really can't continue." ”
Zhou Cang saw that Lei Ming lowered his head and couldn't insist anymore, so he had to say: "Okay, then let the other leaders continue to attack the city, which of you is willing to replace Leader Lei?" ”
These leaders are not stupid, and when they saw Lei Ming's miserable appearance, they naturally didn't want to be the first bird, and no one responded for a while.
"It seems that these people are afraid, and they can't be forced too hard, it seems that only the first wave of the army has been attacked, otherwise these people may not be willing to contribute." Zhou Cang said secretly.
However, Zhou Cang's plan was to consume the strength of these people, so naturally he would not replace Lei Ming so happily.
"Since no one wants to go, then my Montenegrin Army will set an example, but only this time, if you wait for no one to help later, don't blame Zhou for being unsympathetic." Zhou Cang Road.
"That's a certainty, since we are gathered here, we are sitting in the same boat, and we will not sit idly by." The leaders were also relieved to see that Zhou Cang was willing to come forward, and they echoed one after another. (To be continued.) )
