Chapter 232: Must Be Won

Although he was tired from the vigil yesterday, when he woke up, Jiang Long was refreshed.

In the end, it is the body of a teenager, and it has been tossed and turned.

And the more tired young people are, the more they will progress.

Knowing that the alien army had come to the city, Jiang Long hurriedly took a few bites of breakfast and took two steamed buns and went straight to the wall.

Delis sent outside the inner door.

Jiang Long walked in a hurry while eating steamed buns.

When I came to the top of the city wall, I just finished eating the steamed buns.

Qin Yu handed over a kettle.

Jiang Long took it, raised his head and poured a few sips, and wiped away the overflowing water stains with the back of his hand.

"Lord Jing!" Zhou Xi arrived a step early, and then stepped forward to say hello.

The rest of the officials followed behind and stepped forward to say hello, "I've seen Lord Jing!" ”

Jiang Long gave a hand and asked, "Do the aliens have any unusual behavior?" ”

"Nope." Zhou replied.

Nodding slightly, Jiang Long looked at the alien army outside the city, although the other party suffered a little loss yesterday, the morale of the alien army today was not affected in the slightest.

"Third Prince, let's attack the city?" The burly man's name is Niwang, who is one of the top ten warriors of the Mona tribe, and he has been with the third prince Hu Chige a long time ago, and he is loyal, knowing that Hu Chige wants to use this battle to kill Jingjiang Dragon and establish prestige on the prairie, so he is also very anxious to serve the dead.

Hu Chige thought about it all night yesterday, but still couldn't think of a good way to attack the city.

In general, a siege requires large siege equipment, such as ladders and even trebuchets.

But no one in the steppe tribes knew how to make trebuchets.

As for the ladder, there are forests in the prairie, but there are relatively few of them, and they are too far from here, and they will toss for half a month to go back and forth, and they can't cut down trees and make ladders.

So after thinking about it, in the end, what I can rely on is the flying claw.

Yesterday, a small number of people threw out flying claws that hooked the city wall, but they were cut by the officers and soldiers of the Great Qi.

Hu Chige came to inquire carefully, and finally came to the result, the flying claws were thrown up, pulled slowly, there was still a certain chance of hooking the city wall, and he could eat strongly, so early this morning, he carefully told his subordinates not to be too anxious.

Throw the claws up, pull slowly and tentatively, and then climb up when you have eaten and stopped.

The alien sergeants are all good at throwing claws, they often throw ropes and lassoes, and yesterday it was because they were used to it, so they hurriedly wanted to climb up, which greatly reduced the success rate.

Hearing Niwang's inquiry, Hu Chige waved his right hand vigorously, "Be sure to take Lingtong County today!" ”

"Yes!"

Niwang responded, then vigorously waved his spear and shouted: "Take Lingtong County!" ”

"Take Lingtong County!"

"Take Lingtong County!"

The alien sergeants responded in unison, up and down, like a tidal wave, and their morale was rising again and again.

The officers and soldiers of the Great Qi guarding the city and the people who were recruited were all nervous after hearing this, and unconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands.

Half an hour later, Niwang commanded his men to attack the city.

More than 900 foreign soldiers, riding horses and hooves like thunder, rushed to the city gate like the wind.

One by one, the bow is bent, and the arrow is bent.

After two rounds of arrows rained down on the walls, they began to shoot back from their backs.

Suddenly, the archery skills were poor, and the officers and soldiers of Daqi, who were small in number, could not raise their heads after being suppressed.

"Do you want to shoot that commander?" Fan Ren came to Jiang Long at this time, pointed at Niwang and said coldly.

It turned out that Niwang was too eager to attack Lingtong County, but the city wall he leaned on was a little closer.

With Fan Ren's hard bow and archery skills, he can shoot Niwang and take his life.

"Not yet." Jiang Long shook his head, "The other side only has more than a thousand people, it is impossible to capture the city, and most of the sergeants on our side do not know the cruelty of the war, it is necessary to let them experience it, although it is inevitable that there will be deaths and injuries."

But it is better to pay some price now than to have a large alien army attack in the future, and it is much better to be breached by the city walls. ”

"I see." Fan Ren nodded.

Jiang Long wants to use the other party as a whetstone to sharpen the officers and soldiers of Lingtong County.

Fan Ren is not a person with the benevolence of a woman, he is decisive in killing, and he has a more overall view, and he also agrees with Jiang Long's proposition very much in his heart.

Then he left and went to shoot the ordinary alien sergeant.

On the city wall, Fan Ren and Gunty Buck had the most skillful marksmanship, and there were already more than two dozen enemies who died under the hands of the two of them.

Tudu's archery skills were inferior, but there were also five or six killed.

Qin Yu was close to Jiang Long, and his archery skills were not much stronger than those of the officers and soldiers of Great Qi.

The two sides shot at each other, and the rain of arrows flew back and forth, and in mid-air, one after another black arrows broke through the air and made a whooshing sound.

Although the officers and soldiers on the city wall were suppressed, with the experience of yesterday's battle, they were already a little good at shooting, so the number of casualties today has dropped sharply compared to yesterday.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of alien soldiers had already come to the city, took out their flying claws, and threw them at the head of the city wall.

Because they knew the reason for yesterday's miss, they all took their time today, and only a few people who were still a little anxious failed to hook the city wall with their flying claws.

The rest of the people immediately grabbed the rope and quickly climbed up the wall.

In the distance, Hu Chige saw this, and a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Jiang Long personally took the steel knife and asked the shield hand to block the incoming arrows and cut the rope connected to the flying claws.

The alien sergeant, who was clinging to the rope and climbing, let out an exclamation and fell from mid-air.

Although you can't die if you fall, it hurts enough.

After the alien sergeants retreated yesterday, why not explain to the officers and soldiers how to deal with the siege of the flying claws, so the other officers and soldiers also cooperated with the shield bearers to cut the ropes one after another.

In the end, only three of these alien sergeants climbed the city wall, and then were stabbed to death by the Daqi sergeant with a spear and fell off the wall.

The smile on Hu Chige's face was gone, and his expression was gloomy.

Niwang jumped to his feet angrily at this time, and immediately waved his hand, allowing the second group of people to rush forward.

Jiang Long was still quite satisfied with the performance of his sergeants, which was much stronger than yesterday.

It can be seen that without experiencing war, it is really impossible to really grow up.

Seeing the second group of enemies come up, Jiang Long also shouted loudly to cheer up the sergeants.

With the fairly good performance of the officers and men of Daqi, the enemy's second offensive was soon repulsed.

It's not that the alien sergeants aren't brave enough, it's that the number is too small.

A thousand people, even if all of them pour up, it is impossible to attack the four walls at the same time, but only a little attack, then it is difficult to succeed, if you attack more at the same time, there will always be a leak in the defense, and then someone climbs the city wall, and then you can use it as a stronghold, hold on, so that your companions can continue to climb the city wall, and continue to expand the results.

There were only a thousand people, and they did not dare to divide their troops.

There are at least thousands of people in Lingtong County, and if the troops are divided, Jianglong will recruit and mobilize the people, so the small number of foreign soldiers will not be able to achieve combat effectiveness at all.

The wolves have to gather enough to be terrible.

There are only a few, a dozen, and even if the people are less combative, they can easily be killed by taking advantage of the advantage of numbers.

In this way, a series of four attacks were made, throwing more than a hundred corpses, and the alien sergeants retreated.

As soon as Niwang came back, he knelt down in front of Hu Chige, his face full of shame, "My subordinates are incompetent, please punish the third prince!" ”

Hu Chige's eyes were cold, but he was looking in the direction of the city gate.

He had been watching the previous attack, and knew that it was not that his subordinates were not brave enough, and no one was afraid to retreat just now.

It's not that Niwang is ineffective in commanding, and it is indeed difficult to climb the city wall without ladders and other siege equipment.

What's more, Lingtong County also smeared a layer of blue-gray unknown things, which are very hard and smooth.

Stretching out his hand to help him, Hu Chige retracted his gaze and stared at Niwang, "The real purpose of this prince's attack on Lingtong County this time, you know in your heart that if you can't capture the city and kill Jingjianglong, you don't know how many people will be laughed at secretly when you go back."

At that time, let alone conquer the steppes, even the chieftain of the Mona tribe, it will be difficult for me to inherit it.

So no matter how tough it is, you have to take Lingtong County.

Otherwise, you won't have to go back! ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, Niwang's body trembled violently, and then he clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes turned red.

After a short rest, Niwang once again led his soldiers to attack the city.

This time, he doubled the number of people attacking each group, and the pressure on the officers and soldiers on the city walls suddenly increased.

Jiang Long poked his head out from time to time and looked at the battlefield, only to see that one by one the alien sergeants were shot and fell off their horses.

Screaming and screaming.

Blood oozed from the wounds, and some were seriously injured and dragged to death by their mounts.

If the number of attackers is large, it means that the density is high, and the probability of the officers and soldiers in the city shooting at the enemy will increase invisibly.

However, this time, when the alien sergeant rushed to the bottom of the city, nearly a hundred flying claws were thrown up and hooked the city wall.

And the rope on each flying claw, there are several people climbing up one after another.

I just want to be able to climb the city wall early.

Jiang Long originally wanted to annihilate the other party's army, but Dai Lisi told him last night that this alien sergeant was led by the third prince of the Mona tribe, and there was a lot involved, so he decided to let Hu Chige go, but if he let it go, he still had to hurt the other party.

As long as it doesn't hurt Huchige's life.

This battle does not say how much prestige it wants to erect for Lingtong County, but it also wants people to know that Lingtong County is not a soft persimmon, and no one who wants to pinch it can be pinched.

Only in this way can Jiang Long do things quietly in Lingtong County.

"Frying pan!" Jiang Long stretched out his head and looked down, and saw that many foreign soldiers had already climbed to the middle of the city wall, so he shouted loudly.

The voice fell to the ground, and he quickly retracted his head.

Bang bang!

Two arrows were fired at the shield in front of him, and it seemed that the archers on the other side had been paying attention to it.

Also, the main purpose of Hu Chige's trip is to kill Jiang Long, so he must send people to take care of this place.

As long as you can kill Jiang Long, no longer attack Lingtong County, and retreat immediately, it is also possible.

Hearing Jiang Long's order, Zhou Xi immediately commanded the officers and soldiers who were taking care of the oil pot.

One by one, the sergeants picked up the iron pot with a wooden pole, moved it to the city wall, and then raised it, tilted the iron pot and poured boiling oil.

"Ahh

A climbing alien sergeant was poured on his face first, and immediately his face was blistered, and his hands instinctively released to block it, and then his arms were also burned.

The whole person fell in an instant, smashing on the companion above.

The people below were also doused with some boiling oil, and they also screamed and fell.
