Chapter 95: Stalemate

Tokyo's Kaifeng Prefecture is the capital of the world, and the defense measures are complete, which is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

Just when Ximenqing thought that the moat Hao River had been filled in and could launch a large army attack, there was a loud "boom", the earth and wood flew sideways, the dust covered the sky, and a flame suddenly came out of the moat Hao River that had been filled.

It turned out that the Tokyo Castle guards had anticipated this kind of reclamation during the siege, so they had made adequate preparations in advance. The city wall is through the hole, He Guan ambushed the fire and the blower in it, and so Liang Shan worked hard to pile up the firewood into the river, he leisurely ordered, put the lamp in the water, the lamp under the water to find wood, can burn wet firewood, the flame is sheng, He Guan ordered people to blow the wind, the fire borrows the wind, the wind helps the fire, its flame is in the sky, and the firewood and grass are burned to the end.

At this moment, the road changed again, and the infantry army could not rush up. Fortunately, the infantry army was newly formed, and the reaction was still relatively slow, so they did not rush up, in case they had rushed up with great speed, and now they could not retreat, then they could only be hit by the Song army on the head of the city as a moving live target, and the casualties would inevitably be heavy.

He Guan also reacted at the head of the city - why didn't I order the fire after the rebels crossed the river and gathered under the city? Thinking of the place of remorse, He Guan couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth, and the opportunity to hurt the enemy's vitality and frustrate the enemy's spirit made himself wasted!

In fact, it's no wonder that He Guan is a peace official in this festival, but he is just talking on paper and has never fought a war, and now it is already good to have this performance.

The fire was finally extinguished. Ximen Qing gave an order - throw sandbags and dirt bags into the moat!

Didn't you build a long fence a few days ago? Pouring the excavated soil into the bag is a ready-made fortress, and carrying the bag on the back during the siege is a sharp weapon for turning defense into attack. Ximenqing prepared a lot of sandbags and dirt bags, thinking that they would be thrown under the roots of the imperial city and become a gentle slope pedalway in the upper city, so he used flammable wood products as the materials for filling the river, but he didn't expect to be burned clean by a fire, and now he can't even cross the moat Hao River!

The tofu scum project kills people! While reflecting on it, Ximenqing watched the real sand bags fill into the moat, and this time even if He poured some fierce fire oil into the ditch, he couldn't move.

At the sound of drums, the infantry swarmed up, and the siege officially began.

The main force of the attack is the ladder. The ladder went up to the city wall, and the soldiers climbed it, and the jiashi was clearly a member of the death team. The defenders above pushed out with their halberds on the head of the ladder, and the people below were fixed to death, and suddenly there was a "bang", and either a bloody person fell on the head, or a big stone was thrown, and then there was a miserable shout and scolding, and the ladder was pushed down crookedly, and then stubbornly erected again.

Agile soldiers climbed the city on the huge arrows fired from the three-bow bed crossbow, and the defenders at the head of the city, even if they were not agile, would not do anything to look at inaction, bows, crossbows, boiling oil, ash bottles...... How convenient and how to come, for a while, it was full of shouts and shouts, and then the climbers fell one after another.

Liangshan prepared a lot of sand bags, filled the moat Hao River and there is still a surplus, seeing that the gentle slope pedaling road is getting higher and higher, He Guan hurriedly ordered, the corresponding section of the city wall also piled up sand bags, everyone compares high, to see who can compare with whom. Obviously, the logistics front of Liangshan is too long, the transportation cost is extremely high, and the base is in Zuihou, and finally Wangchengtou sighs and sighs, and the rolling wood thunder stone splits his head and faces and straightens down - in fact, this thing basically has not stopped......

Liangshan's killer feature was pushed up. This thing is called the goose cart, as the name suggests, the shape is like a goose, wrapped in leather iron, the elite soldiers are in the goose head wooden house with the same height as the city head, and the city head defenders confront, far away with bows and arrows, the second with spears and halberds, when the goose cart is pushed under the city wall, you can fly and jump the city. The problem is that the fierce fire oil that defends the city is not vegetarian, and although the goose cart is coated with thick mud and cowhide, it cannot change its wood? The essence of the product, the perseverance of the city with the fierce oil spray canister pouring oil upwards, the zuihou throwing rockets, the goose cart finally burning brightly, and the people in the car fleeing for their lives - this fully proves that it is always easier to destroy than to create.

Ximenqing looked at the Shura field in front of him, and his mind was full of the words "the back attack is not good". The battle to this point, it is completely to fill with flesh and blood, Liangshan soldiers have climbed the ladder and fallen, there are those who have been hit by the arrow stone and stumbled, and there are those who have been subjected to lime boiling oil, and there are many people, but they have never been able to grab the first step in the city.

The soldiers of the forbidden army who defended the city were all brave. They are the highest paid and the most well-paid in the national army. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the family can also be taken care of very well, and not every family has beautiful sisters and wives who are remembered by the second generation of officials such as Gao Yanei. So their life is very nourishing, and if there is no big thief like Ximenqing, they will definitely be able to continue to nourish.

Several expeditions to Liangshan, the forbidden army troops were transferred tens of thousands of people. As a result, some of these people never returned, and some were captured and released back but were liquidated internally, in short, none of them ended well. When it came to Zuihou, the forbidden army was infected with Ximenqing's phobia - Ximenqing is the plague, and whoever gets involved is unlucky.

Today, this great anti-thief plague has finally reached the city of Tokyo. Even if it's not for some bullshit loyal monarch to die, you have to fight to the death for the peace and happiness of your own family - Ximenqing wants to clean up the emperor, but they are the lackeys of the royal family, there is no shortage of blessings on weekdays, and there is no less lack of morality, in case the city is broken, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, he can't fly and he can't run you, only fight to the death!

So the forbidden army also risked his life. Those who are near are struck with cannons and wood, those who are far away are shot with bows with divine arms, and those who are far away are hit with bed crossbows and cannons, and the fight is impressive. The best thing is that the long-range attack troops of Liangshan are afraid of injuring their own people who are attacking the city in front, and the frequency and density of bows and arrows and stone cannons are greatly reduced, but the defenders at the head of the city have no such scruples.

Compared with the forbidden army's will to fight, what gave the Liangshan army more headaches was the means of defending the city. Bow and arrow, rolling wood, thunderstone, fire oil, ash bottle...... These ordinary props are just that, what lacks virtue is the gold juice - this gold juice is not a metal solution, but a dung that is heated at a high temperature in the open air in a large iron pot, and splashed down the city without a nose and face, and the physical and psychological lethality is extremely dramatic. It is no wonder that in the later demolition battles on the land of China, the old ladies dipped the dung on the heroic demolition soldiers with sweeping kang brooms, and they could always have the upper hand for a while, which turned out to be the wisdom drawn from the ancient city defense war.

Ximenqing watched from behind, screaming in his heart, he was finally able to understand and forgive the massacre in the war. The soldiers who struggled to victory in the Shura Blood Prison were not iron-clad, their tense nerves needed a channel to vent, but it was unrealistic for everyone to send a psychiatrist, so they had to use the means of war to psychologically adjust them - that is, the sacrifice of life, using flesh and blood to calm the throbbing of flesh and blood, so the slaughter of the city was inevitable. After all, the commander is responsible for the lives and health of his subordinates, and slaughtering the city is the least costly and fastest way to achieve results, and there is no one.

Thinking of this, Ximenqing was frightened, looking at the sun, this siege battle had been fought from Mao to noon, so Ximenqing decisively issued an order to collect the troops. He was afraid that if he continued to attack, he would have to order the slaughter of the city in Zuihou, although he was not against killing, but the law of man is the Tao, the Tao is natural, and killing should be a means of cleaning up and evolving, and it should not be abused in the name of slaughtering the city.

Seeing that the Liangshan army finally retreated, the city cheered and thundered. Huizong also sent the eunuch Lao to ask questions, and the codex was praised, and the forbidden army soldiers were given wine, silver bowls, colored silk and other things to commend the merits, and the cheers were even louder for a while.

Listening to the cheers in the city, Ximen Qing smiled slightly - Lao Tzu always has a comeback.

Next, both families were busy saving lives. Ximen Qingyi counted that in just four hours today, he lost 800 soldiers, and he grinned so distressedly that he said secretly: "Damn, sure enough, attacking the city is the most devastating business!" ”

After appeasing the wounded, Ximen Qing passed the general's order, the military flag was crooked, the drum horns were chaotic, and the appearance of a defeated and withered army was put on a false appearance, and at the same time ordered the Liangshan army to be divided into four squads, and waited for the enemy to take advantage of the small victory to steal the camp and rob the village.

Sure enough, He Guan saw that after the Liangshan army retreated, the scouts were listless, and the golden drum order was all wrong, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Sure enough, it's a bunch of grass cobs, and after a slight setback, they will collapse!" So he gathered three hundred dead men, and went down the city in the middle of the night, and came to cut down the camp. Unexpectedly, Ximen Qing had already prepared, there was a bang in the dark, and the lampball torch Liangzi pine shone like day, and at the same time, the arrows were like rain, and the three hundred dead soldiers did not escape a single one, and they were shot to death in a pile.

On the second day, the Liangshan artillery truck threw 300 heads into the city of Tokyo, and the heads of the people were covered with red paper, with the following words: "Corrupt lackeys, there are no dead bodies." "The defenders of the city are collecting everywhere, and they are all angry.

He Guan suffered a big loss and no longer dared to act rashly. Although Ximen Qing pulled back a game, he couldn't get out of Tokyo City after all, so the two were deadlocked.

In the city of Tokyo, the town movement (the suppression of Ryoyama Uchi, or "the town") is in full swing. Under the strict punishment law, soon some students who were willing to make meritorious contributions confessed that Chen Dong was one of the leaders of Ximenqing's internal Ying, and according to the wishes of the above, they went around to climb the number of people. The relevant departments strictly interrogated Chen Dong, and Chen Dong shouted: "Patriotism is guilty, and corruption is not guilty." State affairs are like this, but what can I do! "Chewing his tongue and killing himself.

The prison officials arrested people according to the list, and it turned out that the interior of Liangshan should be all rich families in the city. So everyone was imprisoned, and soon a referendum was held to deter the villain's courage, and his family wealth and food were confiscated into the official to be used for the state; or did not enter the Yanfeng warehouse, with the capital of the army and food, and the city was full of thousands of horses.

At this time, Ximenqing was thinking hard about Tokyo's plan. On this day, Ximen Qing went to see the city, and suddenly a sergeant came to report: "Marshal, catch a ** fine!" "This is exactly what it is:

The city is high and thousands of troops are all changed, and the people's anger can be destroyed. But I don't know who the spy is? Let's listen to the next breakdown.
