Chapter 299: Rain Battle (2)
"Go up, go up...!" After the ladder reached the top of the city, the centurions under the ladder below kept urging their soldiers to rush up the ladder. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The people who came here to attack the city today are still the elite of Jiang Yiyuan's army, and they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield, because this is an excellent opportunity, Jiang Yiyuan doesn't want to waste it in vain, whether he can break through the city or not, it all depends on this blow. Only on a rainy day can Liu Qing's powerful trebuchet and fire oil be rendered useless.
However, Jiang Yiyuan also knew that the enemy's trebuchet and fire oil could not be used, so the combat effectiveness of his siege soldiers would be greatly reduced, after all, it was raining in the sky, even if it was climbing the ladder, not to mention being shot by the enemy's bow and arrow, even if it was not shot, it was not easy for you to climb up, the ladder was made of bamboo poles, and it was easy to slip many times, and it was very difficult to climb up.
Boom...
"Ahh
Suddenly, a soldier on top of the city threw a stone down, just on the head of an enemy soldier, the soldier was climbing up, and after being hit by a boulder, his body lost his center of gravity and fell, and several soldiers behind him were touched by him, and then five or six people who were climbing the ladder fell short, and all fell off the city. Although the city is not high, they have climbed to a position of two zhang high, and if they fall like this, they will either die or be injured.
"Ahh My head.... ”
"Ahh He's dead. ”
"Ahh
.....
There was a scream under the city wall, and countless soldiers defending the city around Liu Qing smashed down with boulders in their hands, and shot down with bows and arrows, and the archers behind the wall piers shot straight down, and those who were at the stone ladder shot from their backs, and the whole air, the rain mixed with the rain of arrows, impermeable, terrifying.
Half an hour has gradually passed in the siege battle, Liu Qing gradually began to feel at ease, although he defended the city very hard, the soldiers may not even be able to open their eyes, but after half an hour, the enemy did not even touch the wall, no enemy climbed up, at most half of the soldiers were smashed down, so on, he was very confident to hold the city.
"Hmph, this Jiang Yiyuan is nothing more than that." Lu Wen on the side said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Liu Qing also smiled, but did not speak.
An hour later...
"Report..." Suddenly, a soldier rushed up to the city.
Coming to Liu Qing, he reported: "General, there are an unknown number of enemy troops attacking the city at the south gate. ”
"South Gate?"
Liu Qing said a word, nodded and said, "Got it, let's go." ”
"Yes."
The soldier left.
"General, there are 10,000 of my soldiers stationed at the south gate, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Lu Wen said.
He was clearly worried.
Liu Qing also frowned, what he was worried about was not the south gate, but the east gate at the rear, since Jiang Yiyuan even went to the south gate, there is no doubt that this time he was going to attack the city gate on all sides, or to encircle three and kill one. The east gate, the weakest of the four gates, has not been repaired for many years, and there are not many soldiers stationed today, only 5,000 people, because it is in the rear, and everyone feels relatively safe.
However, at this time, Liu Qing didn't think so, maybe...
For some reason, Jiang Yiyuan became mysterious in his heart again.
"Newspaper... Enemy troops found in the west! ”
After a while, a soldier shouted.
This was expected by Liu Qing, but there was no surprise, but he just ordered the soldiers to continue to investigate, and let him go down.
After the soldiers left, Liu Qing said: "General Lu, the battle here will be handed over to you, I will go to the east gate to have a look." ”
"Okay."
Lu Wen didn't say a word, and gave up.
Liu Qing nodded, took Lu Chang and Chu Jun, and went to the east gate.
To get to the east gate, you need to cross the entire Crouching Tiger City, even if you go quickly, it will take more than half an hour.
The three of them rode fast horses, and when they passed by the barracks, Lu Chang went to mobilize five thousand elites and went with them, Liu Qing was faintly uneasy in his heart, he was confident to defend the city gates on the north, south and west, but he was not sure of the east gate, because the city defense was too simple, not to mention that there were still few soldiers guarding the city there now.
The more anxious he is, the faster he will move forward...
"Newspaper... reported, the east gate was in an emergency, and General Zhou begged for help. Suddenly, a soldier rode from the front and saw Liu Qing and others reporting loudly. The soldier looked anxious, obviously worried.
Liu Qing sighed in his heart, and secretly said that he guessed correctly, the most dangerous place today is not the other three gates, but the east gate of the rear, and Jiang Yiyuan is very likely to personally lead the troops forward.
"Damn, I knew that Jiang Yiyuan was here, and we should have sent more soldiers to the east gate yesterday."
"The general doesn't need to be in a hurry, even if the east gate is not easy to guard, but it is still no problem to hold it for an hour or two, at that time, my reinforcements have arrived, and Jiang Yiyuan is still in vain."
Chu Jun on the side persuaded him.
Liu Qing didn't say anything, and secretly said I hope so.
"Let's go, hurry up to the east gate! The moment you arrive early is a moment, and the city must not be lost! ”
Liu Qing shouted, and galloped forward with a whip.
Lu Chang stayed behind to lead the troops, and Chu Jun followed Liu Qing to move forward quickly.
........
East Gate.
"Kill...!"
The city was still gray, and the fog was too great to see clearly, but when they heard the earth-shattering roar in the distance, and countless footsteps, the soldiers in the city understood that the enemy was coming.
Bang bang bang...
The ladder hits the city.
As the ladder continued to shake, the soldiers in the city saw that countless enemy soldiers were climbing up below.
"Quick, push the ladder out for me, push it out...!" Suddenly, a loud shout came, and Zhou Yan, the general stationed at the east gate, walked behind the soldiers, giving orders as he walked quickly.
Zhou Yan is a deputy general under Liu Qing, and the 5,000 soldiers at the east gate at this moment are all Liu Qing's soldiers and horses.
Hearing the order, all the soldiers defending the city took the double-pronged guns that had been prepared long ago and pushed them outside, in fact, there was no need for Zhou Yan's orders, the soldiers also knew what to do, they were all veterans, and the techniques of defending the city were very skilled.
Now it is the north wind, the wind blows from north to east, facing the enemy besieging the city under the city, the soldiers take the double-pronged guns to the outside, and suddenly five or six ladders are pushed out, this is only the situation at the city gate, the other left and right sides must have the same effect. The wind was too strong and quite powerful against the soldiers defending the city.
Boom...
I heard a few loud noises, and the ladders fell back, and the soldiers who were climbing up below also rolled down the ladders.
It is very difficult to climb the tower, especially now, it is difficult for the siege troops to successfully build a ladder on the top of the city.
However, after all, there are only a few people who are pushed down, and Jiang Yiyuan likes to use a lot of ladders to attack the city, so there are still a lot of ladders on the head of the city at this time, and at this time, the enemies below are constantly climbing up.
"Kill, kill them, don't let anyone climb up!" Zhou Yan drank violently, holding a spear in his hand, constantly patrolling behind.
Puff...
Arrows rained down, and the screams of the city continued...
At this time, in the distance under the city, as Liu Qing expected, Jiang Yiyuan really came to the east gate, personally supervised the battle, watched the soldiers seize the city pass, although the fog was too big and he couldn't see anything, but listening to the movement ahead, he could guess the current battle situation.
Jiang Yiyuan kept frowning, listening to the extremely tragic screams coming from ahead, tilted his head and took a sharp breath... (To be continued.) )
