Chapter 274, Matsuyama Castle

After the army set out, the reinforcements from Dongjing City arrived much earlier than he expected, and this unexpected situation made Luo Ji hurriedly click on Guo Zhen's attribute panel to take a look, and sure enough, Guo Zhen, who has been fighting in the east and west all the year round, has already comprehended the tactics of 'soldier and god speed', and after leading the troops to leave Dongjing City, he directly made a rapid march and rushed over to meet them.

This situation is also trouble-free for Luo Ji, after all, the early convergence is relieved, with the advance of the army, the surrounding terrain gradually changed to a mountain, and the difference in the height of the terrain is even more obvious than expected, it turns out that Zhou Yi is right, the siege equipment can't be pushed up at all, and at the same time, the undulating terrain also makes it more difficult for the soldiers to advance than usual.

If it weren't for the bad location, Matsuyama Castle, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, would be the first line of defense in the east, which would probably add a lot of blockage to the hearts of players who invaded in.

But many things are not as good as people want, geographical advantages belong to geographical advantages, location belongs to location, the position of Eastern Border City just blocked the path of the enemy army, so it can be built as the first line of defense, but the location of Matsuyama City cannot do this.

"Chief, if you go about half a day's way, you will be in Songshan City." Zhou Yi, who confirmed the location, ran to Luo Ji's side and said.

"Okay." Luo Ji answered, and then said to a herald beside him, "Pass the order, let the soldiers familiarize themselves with the terrain here, and then find a gentle place nearby to set up camp, rest for the night, and attack the city at dawn tomorrow!" ”

Luo Ji's idea is very simple, while preparing for a long-term battle, he also wants to fight a wave of surprise warfare, even if Songshan City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is difficult to be captured by him in a wave, but he has to try, and he will give up directly if he doesn't do anything, which is not in line with his consistent style of doing things.

After dinner, Luo Ji and Zhou Yi discussed the specific details of tomorrow's siege, and after arranging the vigil task, they motioned for everyone to go to bed early.

Then, in the early hours of the morning, I looked up at the sky and estimated the current time, it should be two or three o'clock in the morning, and the night was still clear tonight, and the bright full moon in the sky added a bit of light to the night.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Luo Ji and them, one by one the soldiers quickly woke up from their sleep, almost at the same time as the sunset, they had already fallen asleep, at this time the spirit of each one can be called full, it took about ten minutes, after simply eating a little dry food with them, the two thousand army directly advanced through the moonlight.

Luo Ji didn't let them light the torches, in this era, the little fire in the dark night was too dazzling, and the soldiers standing on the city wall could see it at a glance from a long distance, which would undoubtedly expose their existence, causing them to lose this attack.

Fortunately, all the veterans brought out this time were in the army, although the night had an impact on them, it was not enough for them to waver, and they all took care of each other and moved forward calmly.

However, this incident reminded Luo Ji that after this battle, he felt that it was almost time to add items such as 'night raids' and 'night marches' to military training.

At dawn, an earth-shattering shouting sound woke up Wang Tong, who was sleeping soundly, on the spot, and his body that lost his balance fell directly off the bed, smashing his whole person to pieces, "What, what's going on?" Is it the enemy attack?! ”

Ignoring the exclamations of his wife and concubine on the bed, Wang Tong didn't even have time to put on a coat for himself, so he got up from the ground with his hands and feet, and then rushed out of his bedroom.

As soon as this person rushed to the courtyard, he bumped into a soldier who hurriedly ran over to report, "General! The enemy, the enemy is coming!! ”

Hearing this, Wang Tong's whole heart sank instantly, and then he grabbed the soldier's collar, "Where did you hit?!" ”

"It's already under siege." The soldier cried out with a sad face.

"Are all the soldiers on duty blind? I don't even know if the enemy hits me?! At this time, Wang Tong only felt that he was about to go crazy, this group of enemies was not a good man and a woman, after Dongjing City and Songhe City were breached, the bodies of Zhang Xijun and Liu Hu were directly hung on the city wall, this news, he also heard it! Now that this group of brutal enemies has already slaughtered outside Songshan City, and they have even begun to attack the city, how can Wang Tong not panic? He didn't want to go to the city wall and be in the company of those two goods!

The soldier was obviously frightened by Wang Tong's reaction, and his tone was already a little trembling, "General, it's really, it's too dark, and the brothers can't see it clearly!" ”

"It's too dark to see?! The sky is too dark......" Wang Tong's voice, who seemed to realize something, stopped abruptly, and then, I saw him look up in a daze, looking at the sky above his head that was still shrouded in night, his expression was completely stiff at this moment, "It was actually touched by the night?!" ”

"Send a herald and let him ride on a fast horse and go from the other side! Inform the reinforcements who are rushing here! After a short period of panic, Wang Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly gave the order.

On the other hand, the soldiers who launched an attack on Songshan City by night carried the ladder and pushed wildly, the ladder is indeed cheap, and it can be produced on a large scale, however, you don't expect it to work well, because to put it bluntly, it is an elongated ladder, and the advanced point has a telescopic function, and the advanced point is the ladder car.

At this time, what the soldiers under Luo Ji's command were holding was the cheapest kind, and Zhou Dongnan used these ladders as a means of assisting in the siege, after all, his center of gravity was on the siege tower, and the rows of ladders also played a role in disrupting or covering.

This situation makes Luo Ji have a stomachache, the current situation, can only rely on the number to win, one ladder can't be attacked, then install ten, ten crosses, then install twenty, until the soldiers on the opposite wall can't push it!

Although the battle situation is a little anxious, but with the advantage of the surprise attack, before the soldiers in Songshan City react, the current situation is still more favorable to Luo Ji, with the erection of ladders, the limited garrison on the other side of the city wall quickly fell into a state of inability to respond, Guo Zhen also saw the opportunity to quickly climb up.

Then, I saw him exert great might, wielding a battle axe to cut down several enemy soldiers to the ground in a row, and forcibly clearing a living space on the enemy's city wall.

And the veterans below were also quick-eyed, and when they saw the cloud ladder protected by Guo Zhen, they began to climb up frantically, and rushed to the wall of Nasongshan City in one breath!

The update is sent, thank you for the monthly pass of the book friend 'netizen'!
