May 4

, the moon is dark and the wind is high

In the dark night, under the south of Luokou City, Zheng Jun, who had just suffered defeat, took the initiative to launch a night battle

In the rumbling war drums, countless torches were lit, and the entire southern city was reflected as if the Zheng army was countless days and began to carry the ladder, holding a shield and slowly attacking the city This time, Zheng Jun's attack was clear and eye-catching, and it completely belonged to the textbook night siege strategy

The shield men were in the first line, followed by a large number of archers, who advanced as they marched towards the city

Behind the archers, there were a large number of infantry carrying ladders, pushing battering rams, cloud carts, building carts, catapults,

Crossbows and other large instruments slowly stepped forward

Zheng Jun's attack was one and a second, not in a hurry or slow, and Li Jingzhi on the head of the city frowned at this rhythm, even if the rebels fought for ten days and a half months, it would be impossible to capture Luokou Cangcheng

"Report, report to the marshal, the defenders of the northern city heard the sound of the urn buried at the foot of the inner wall of the city, and the rebels were digging a tunnel" A soldier came quickly to report

"That's right, that's right" Li Jing finally smiled, he was still wondering about the unreasonable fighting style of the rebels under the city, and now when he heard the news, he finally understood that the rebels wanted to attack the east and west, repair the plank road and secretly cross Chencang

Outside the northern city, Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin, the second general, led 50,000 elite soldiers, are ambushing here, hundreds of soldiers who are good at digging tunnels are digging ten tunnels at the same time, and the familiar soldiers are advancing quickly and quietly

"Mao Gong, are you sure?" Shan Xiongxin looked at the city in the dark night with some concern, and there were many people and strong guards

"It's man-made," Xu Shiji said with a frown

In the dark, Xu Shiji turned his head to look at Shan Xiongxin, his mouth opened and closed, and he repeated it several times, but he still couldn't open his mouth

Shan Xiongxin on the side found, "What's the matter with you."

Let's just say it, do our brothers still use this? ”

Xu Shiji said with some hesitation: "I saw a person in the barracks today, guess who?" ”

"Who?"

Xu Shiji pondered for a moment before saying: "

“

Why are you here, is she here to persuade you to surrender to Chen Kefu? Hearing that Zhai Rang's daughter had come to the barracks, Shan Xiongxin was both happy and worried, and finally a little disappointed

In the dark, Xu Shiji covered his face with his hands, lowered his head and said slowly: "Second brother, do you think we are going on like this now, is there a way out?" Li Mi is finished, completely finished second brother, you know that you can't leave these old brothers in Wagang but Wagang is long gone, and since the day Brother Zhai was killed, Wagang has been gone."

Shan Xiongxin's iron-clad man couldn't help but wet his eyes with tears at this time

"Mao Gong, I know what you want to say, you don't have to say it, you are right, Mao Gong, you are the smartest among those brothers in Wagang at the beginning, you have read a lot of books, Wen Neng Anbang, Wu Neng Dingguo, is a rare talent, if you vote for Chen Pojun in the future, with your talent, he will not treat you badly, at the beginning, Boss Zhai and I originally thought that you were and

It would be a couple, but I never thought that we would end up like this."

"Second brother, let's vote for Chen Kefu together, I watched it for a long time, this world is still Chen Kefu after all, and Li Mi killed Zhai Da in the first place, how can we protect him from such a person" Xu Shiji persuaded

Shan Xiongxin gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "I will have one sooner or later."

I want to kill Li Mi with my own hands and avenge my eldest brother"

"Then we will descend Chen Kefu together, I have already thought about it, I will deliberately offer an authentic strategy tonight, and I will invite myself to lead troops with you, I plan to fight for a while, and we will take the opportunity to explain to Li Jing that we will belong" Xu Shiji whispered into Shan Xiongxin's ear

Shan Xiongxin had no prestige, and after a long time, he turned his head to Xu Shiji and said: "

Is it okay now, she is married to Chen Kefu, but she is still happy? ”

Xu Shiji smiled: "

You don't know that temper yet, it's a big grin, most people really don't dare to marry Now she is married to Chen Kefu, although she has to share a husband with other women, but Chen Kefu is not bad, very good to her Although Chen Kefu is high and powerful, but right

But it's very tolerant of pets

Marrying him is also a good marriage Today she was going to see you, but because of the urgency of time, I was afraid that I would be found out after a long time, so I sent her back first"...,

"Mao Gong, if you do what you want, I won't be with you, when Li Mi killed the eldest brother, I couldn't help the eldest brother, and afterwards I didn't follow him together according to our original oath It's really guilty, now, I just want to kill Li Mi with my own hands and tell

, the second uncle is sorry for her, and the second uncle wishes him happiness when he sees her."

"Second brother, what happened at the beginning

How can you be so remorseful? We defected to Chen Kefu, not either

Does it happen to be a family? If you want Li Mi, there is a chance If it weren't for the fact that we have been guarded by Li Mi all the time, there are not many available people under my subordinates, I originally planned to attack directly in the camp and destroy Li Mi and their second brother together with Chen Kefu, you just listen to me, let's vote for Chen Kefu You have to stay here with Li Mi all the time, in case something happens

What to do? ”

"Don't say it, I don't have the face to say goodbye

When I kill Li Mi, I will go to wander the world Maogong, the world has been in turmoil for a long time, and I am about to be governed, you have great talent, and you will try it in the future

Hand takes care of the dots for me

, don't let her be wronged," Shan Xiongxin said slowly

"Second brother, if you don't go, I won't go," Xu Shiji said while holding Shan Xiongxin's hand

In the north of Luokou Cangcheng, Li Jing leaned down and listened for a while against the big urn buried at the foot of the wall

"Pass my commander's order, immediately dig a deep ditch along the city wall, collect firewood and grass from the city, pile it on the side of the ditch, prepare the fire, and then go to the sappers to operate some smoke bombs."

At the command of the order, the soldiers immediately got busy

In the second half of the night, the rebels dug ten tunnels outside the north city to lead directly into the city, but suddenly exposed in front of the deep ditch, the defenders of the north city who had been prepared immediately lit bundles of firewood and grass and threw them into the tunnel entrance, and threw the smoke bombs of the engineer battalion into the tunnel engineer camp

The smoke of the fire blew into the tunnel, and the soldiers in the tunnel were burned to the point that the rebels hurriedly retreated, but they were blocked in the tunnel but it was difficult to retreat for a while, and it burned for a long time, except for a few soldiers behind the tunnel, thousands of rebels who entered the tunnel were choked to death by the smoke

The news was transmitted back to Wang Xuanying's imperial tent, and the anger of the people who were looking forward to it almost vomited blood

When the plan failed, Du Ji offered another plan, and at dawn the rebels hit the city wall with a "attack car", and Li Jing immediately ordered a curtain made of cloth to open it in its direction, and the attack car hit it, and the cloth was immediately suspended after being impacted, and the city wall was not damaged

The rebels still did not give up, and tied the dry pine branches and hemp stalks to the long poles, poured anointing oil to light the fire, and burned the tents, trying to burn the Luokou Cangcheng Tower together Li Jing asked the soldiers to tie the sharp hook knife to the long pole, and when the fire pole attacked, they raised the hook knife to cut it, and cut off all the pine branches and hemp stalks that were being lit

Li Mi also proposed to use the tunnels, digging 20 tunnels around the city in the dark, and when they dug to the foot of the city wall, they were supported by wooden pillars, and then set fire to the wooden pillars to cause the city wall to collapse

This effect was excellent, and more than a dozen gaps appeared in the fortified Luokou Cangcheng City at once, and in the vast darkness, hundreds of thousands of rebels who had been waiting in ambush for a long time rushed towards the collapsed gap like a tide

The situation is very critical, when it is critical, Li Jing mobilized the engineer battalion to desperately throw explosive packs into each gap, although the violent explosion has expanded some gaps, but the momentum of the rebels who are like the water of the embankment is also sluggish, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Zhongjian also mobilized a large number of crossbowmen, countless arrow rain densely poured into each gap, under the blow of countless arrow rain, the rebels still fought to the death with shields, and fell down, and there were many rebels on top

The engineer battalion gathered all the fire oil bombs in the city again, one time

Countless raging flames were thrown into the gaps, and finally the momentum of the rebels' charge was stopped, and that little splash

As long as the oil is stained with the rebels

, it will burn violently, and the rebels can't shoot it

The rebel soldiers, under the urging of Li Mi and others behind, could charge with bows, arrows and spears, but they were facing each other

One by one, the companions on the side burned into the burning man, but they were extremely afraid of the miserable howl of the burning burning man before he died, which made many rebel soldiers terrified...,

The engineer battalion smashed a large number of poison gas bombs and smoke bombs into each gap, and then the engineers put an iron horse to the gap, and the iron horse was full of sharp thorns, blocking the gap, just like a small infantry spear phalanx, the rebels could not enter for a while, Li Jing immediately commanded the sappers to block the gap with a fence, and then brought stones and huge trees to fight with the rebels while rushing to repair the city wall, so that the rebels could not attack the city

By daybreak, the gaps were blocked, and the rebels stormed all night, only to retreat

After three days of the war, the rebels exhausted all kinds of strategies, but they still lost their troops and counted them after the war, and there were originally 150,000 soldiers and horses, 50,000 auxiliary soldiers and civilians of the rebels, and in a blink of an eye, only 130,000 soldiers and horses remained, and those cannon fodder auxiliary soldiers and civilians were consumed in three days of fierce siege warfare In addition to the 20,000 soldiers and horses killed in the battle, among the 130,000 soldiers and horses of the rebels, there were as many as 20,000 light and serious wounded in addition to these wounded soldiers, Wang Xuanying, who had only been the emperor for three days, suddenly found that there were only 100,000 of the available soldiers left for them

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Wang Shishi, who managed the logistics, reported urgently that the grain and grass in the army were exhausted, and there were only three left

The bread of the Food

Wang Shishi's voice had just fallen, and another scout Pegasus came to report

"Report to Your Majesty, Chen Pojun of Yanshi moved the scout in front to report, Chen Pojun had already set off the camp when it was dark, and he was rushing towards Luokou City in the starry night" (to be continued)
