Chapter 690: Fighting against the encirclement

(Thanks to the ambiguous moonlight for the monthly pass, Muzi didn't know what the monthly pass was like for a long time...... Tear-jerking in grief)

Lu Shishen entered the city with a hundred knights who had been carefully selected a long time ago, and before he came, all of the hundred selected knights were already wearing double layers of heavy armor. In addition to the mounted spears, iron shields, bows and arrows hanging on the surface. In the bag next to the saddle were four repeater crossbows and twenty grenades.

One hundred men, four hundred seven-company archers' crossbows, two thousand cavalry grenades, plus a hundred horses, a hundred shields, a hundred bows, a hundred cavalry spears, and a hundred horizontal swords. Such an armament can be said to be truly armed to the teeth.

Its firepower is even completely comparable to the firepower of a battalion. Whether it's melee or ranged, for a short period of time, they are absolutely invincible. Such equipment and such a powerful firepower configuration can only be taken out by a unit like the Hebei Army.

A team of 100 horsemen slowly stepped across the moat, which was more than three zhang long, and according to Liu An, the moat was two zhang deep. If you launch a strong attack on Los Angeles and only attack with ordinary equipment and techniques, I am afraid that this moat, which is three zhang wide and two zhang deep, and introduces the living water of the Luo River, will be an insurmountable moat.

To be honest, this plan is very risky, but Lu Shishen and Guo Xiaoke are both bold people. In the face of the opportunity in front of them, they did not hesitate or fear at all. Seeing that the defenders so easily let a force like them without the slightest military order token enter the city, although they only let a hundred people enter the city, Lu Shishen rode on the horse, and he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

Are they too paralyzed? Are they emboldened? Or is it some kind of trickery they have? Looking at the dark and deep city gate, looking at the heavy gate, Lu Shishen remembered many personal experiences in the past. In Liaodong, their first major victory was that King Chen pretended to be the defenders of Goguryeo New City, and then tricked open the gates of New City at night and took it in one fell swoop.

Later, they pretended to be the defenders of Liaodong City, and deceived the two Goguryeo tribal soldiers and horses of Baiyan and other cities into the city, and when the Goguryeo army was halfway in, the heavy city gate suddenly fell, cutting the Goguryeo enemy army below into two sections, and then their ambush soldiers suddenly killed......

Looking at the strict Wei defenders at the head of the city, and looking at the dense archers with cold faces behind the battlements, Lu Shishen, a bold and fierce general couldn't help but sweat in his palms. In this kind of unobstructed open land, if the opponent suddenly turns his face, the bow and arrow alone will be enough to wipe out their hundred-man horseman. However, now he has no choice but to take the risk and take a solo bet.

The troops crossed the moat safely, walked through the open area in front of the city gate, and finally walked to the city gate hole. In front, Meng Ke and a group of officers above the left-behind team of Luokou Cangcheng were already waiting there. Although there was only a captain in front of them, after hearing Liu An say that Captain Huang was General Lu's confidant, everyone directly greeted Captain Huang with the specifications for welcoming General Lu.

From a distance, Lu Shishen saw the group of officers on the opposite side who were obviously not ordinary soldiers under the flickering torches. Seeing so many officers greeting him there, he couldn't help but feel happy. He reached out and quietly tapped on the saddle a few times, and the knights behind the hundred-man squad slowed down noticeably and fell behind.

Lu Shishen's front team had already arrived in front of the city gate cave, but the dozen or so horsemen of the rear team were still on the suspension bridge.

Seeing Lu Shishen arrive, Meng Ke hurriedly stepped forward with his subordinates, and said with a smile, "The last general greets Captain Huang, it's been hard all the way." The last general has already asked people to prepare hot water, wine and food in the city, and asked Captain Huang not to be too hasty and the wine and food are not good enough. ”…,

Lu Shishen pretended to be very arrogant, raised his head and looked at people with his chin, and said coldly, "Lead the way ahead, General Lu will arrive in a while, don't be lazy!" ”

"Yes, yes. Captain Huang, please, please. Meng Ke squinted and replied carefully.

At this moment, there were suddenly several loud sounds of gold and iron from behind the team. The cavalry who deliberately fell behind was cutting the sling, the moat was too wide, and if it only occupied the city gate and could not take the sling at the first time, everything would be useless. So just now they had already discussed, cut the sling as soon as possible, and then seize the city gate.

"What's going on behind the scenes" Meng Ke's face changed and asked.

It's just that he was halfway through his words, Lu Shishen had already picked up the crossbow in his hand, and shot him down with a crossbow.

Lu Shishen held a crossbow in each hand, and after shooting down Meng Ke, he shouted, "Do it, throw thunder and notify General Guo to attack!" ”

Before the captains and captains who had come to greet them at the city gate had not yet understood what was going on, they saw several black bumps with white smoke already flying towards them.

"Boom!"

The explosion of several grenades sounded the order of Guo Xiaoke's soldiers and horses outside the city.

The continuous shooting of crossbows shot out one after another like flying locusts, and there were grenades mixed with them, and the fierce attack instantly killed the group of officers in front of the city gate.

"Brothers, take the gates. Array of shields! Lu Shishen roared, he had already heard the sound of iron hooves from behind him, and if he held on for a while, Guo Xiaoke's cavalry would enter the city. He did not send people to seize the city towers and city walls, and his hundred horsemen were all double-armored, and they brought shields and many weapons, and their defense was very high, but they were inconvenient to move. Their task is to control the city gates, and as for the rest, it is better to leave it to Guo Xiaoke.

The successive explosions, and the screams of the officers before they died, finally made the bewildered defenders of the city understand that the enemy is attacking!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Pull up the sling, close the gates, and lower the gates! "On the tower of the city gate, there was a loud shout from the calm petty officer who had escaped.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" The men at the head of the city were desperately shouting and firing arrows.

It's a pity that it's too late, and the first thing the Hebei Army dealt with was the iron cable, although the iron cable was thick. But several knights, with sharp heavy axes, slashed hard, and finally took the drawbridge down at the first time.

The archers at the head of the city began to draw their bows and shoot arrows, but the knights who rushed first were all dressed in iron armor, and the arrows did little damage to them.

Thousands of iron hooves galloped past, rumbling like thunder on the earth. Like a gust of wind, Guo Xiaoke, with a thousand cavalry, quickly stepped across the suspension bridge and rushed directly to the city gate.

Lu Shishen and the powerful firepower they formed in front of the city gate had already made the passage to the city smooth. Therefore, the Wei army, who risked their lives to regain the city gate, were either killed or fled under the fierce blows of crossbows and grenades. After charging several times in a row and leaving behind a place of dead bodies, no one in the Wei army dared to come directly to grab the city gate.

When Guo Xiaoke arrived, Lu Shishen and they still had zero casualties. Lu Shishen led his subordinates to get out of the way, and Guo Xiaoke's cavalry rushed into Luokou Cangcheng like a whirlwind.

"Rush!" After Guo Xiaoke rushed into Cangcheng, he didn't stop immediately, according to the plan, after they rushed into the city. A thousand cavalry will be divided into three divisions and continue to move quickly to the west, east, and south to seize the city gates.

Lu Shishen and their siege time was at night, in addition to the guards on duty on the four gates of the city wall, more than 7,000 of the 10,000 soldiers who stayed in Luokou Cangcheng were resting in the barracks. After the cavalry rushed into the city like a whirlwind, nearly 30,000 infantry who were lying in ambush outside the city rushed towards the north gate like a tide. …,

The Hebei army held a shield and rushed into the city quickly with bows and arrows on the city.

The Hebei army that entered the city had already made arrangements to go to the city wall to sweep away the enemy's troops and immediately go to the city wall. Many of the soldiers went straight to the military camp in the city, and the rest began to go to the other three city gates to control the city gates. The last part began to quickly seize control of the granary.

"General, Cangcheng has been taken, and it has been successful!" Liu An was not as fully armed as Lu Shishen and them, but when he seized the door just now, he was very heroic, although he was only wearing a piece of Mingguang armor, but he was stunned that he killed several officers with only a horizontal knife. These officers were ordinary soldiers, and although the other party was unprepared in advance, these people were all tough people. He killed several of them by himself, but he was also stabbed himself, and he was bleeding profusely.

Lu Shishen gave Liu An an appreciative look, he didn't believe him when he wanted to take Liu An into the city just now, but felt that if Liu An lied to him, then he would have to kill this guy with his own hands in the end. didn't expect this guy to work so hard.

At this moment, a huge cry sounded from the top of the city: "Hurray! "The Hebei infantry who attacked the city head had already taken the north city head, and the soldiers picked up the Wei army flag planted on the city head and threw it down the city head, and replaced it with the Chen character banner of the Hebei army and the two general flags of Lu and Guo, as well as the battalion flag of their headquarters.

"Fix the drawbridge now, pull it up, close the gates, and defend it now! Little cubs, we haven't won yet! Lu Shishen scolded with a smile.

The soldiers at the north gate quickly carried out Lu Shishen's order, the drawbridge was repaired and pulled, the city gate was closed, torches were lit on the city, and a team of crossbowmen boarded the city. Lu Shishen did not send the soldiers of Beicheng to the other gates, although Beicheng was taken, but Beicheng was also the first direction for the enemy's reinforcements to come to help. Luokou in the north has more than 100,000 Wei troops, and the distance is only twenty miles, once the spies of the Wei army find out about the movement here, the Wei army can also arrive the fastest.

Lu Shishen climbed the north city tower, standing on the high north city tower, he could clearly hear the noise and shouting everywhere in the city. He did not have much to worry about the victory of the Hebei army, the enemy was only 10,000, and he had 30,000 horses. What's more, they still suddenly entered Luokoucang Castle, and when they entered the city, most of the enemy troops were still sleeping in the barracks.

What he was really worried about was the granary in the city, 20 million stone of grain. Fortunately, he watched for a long time, and although he could see the fires in various parts of the city from time to time, he did not see any fires burning. Taking Cangcheng is only the first step, and only by capturing the granary can it be considered a success.

And to maintain this success, the most important thing is how to withstand the Wei army that is about to arrive from the west, north, and east.

From this moment on, their 30,000 people will be encircled by more than 200,000 Wei troops on all sides, can this be regarded as a self-defeating net? Lu Shishen smiled, his heart was full of heroism, and his fighting spirit was unlimited!
