Chapter 226: The Battle of Shu County
Knock knock knock......
The sound of war drums spread from the city walls.
Five hundred Shu County defenders with swords in hand were ready to fight.
The bloody breath came to the nostrils, and more than a thousand thieves rushed over like a tide.
"Report, North Gate Emergency"
"Newspaper, Simon is in an emergency"
"Report, East Gate Emergency"
A soldier from Mingshu County ran quickly on the city wall, followed by a series of battle reports.
The man standing on the tower of the north gate was dressed as a general in armor.
His brows were furrowed, and his face was full of majesty: "Since the bold Chen Ce dares to take advantage of the main force of the Lujiang army and horses to rush to the aid of Runan, he will attack the counties."
"Soldiers, who dares to take off the head of this thief for Ben General," the general asked aloud.
Several men stepped up and puffed up their chests: "I am willing to go out of the city for the general and destroy this thief"
"By no means, our army is only five hundred, but Chen Ce's department is no less than a thousand. If you rush out of the city, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable," said one person.
The general's anger subsided a little, and his sanity gradually returned.
"Report ......"
A soldier ran quickly and bowed to the general: "Taishou sent an urgent report from Runan"
Everyone's eyes looked at the silk book in the soldier's hand at the same time.
The general hurriedly took the silk book in his hand and then opened it.
A few lines of handwriting appeared in front of him, his eyes wandered quickly, and his heart sank.
"General," someone couldn't help but shout.
The general gritted his teeth fiercely and said the news on the silk book: "Too observant, let me hold on"
"Now that the war has broken out in Gepo, it is no longer feasible for the main force to return to help, so we can only wait for reinforcements according to the city," the general said.
The hearts of the people sank with the general's words.
"The main force of Lujiang can't come back to help, where are the reinforcements from us?" One couldn't help but ask out loud.
This resonated with everyone, and the voice gradually sounded in their ears.
"In this way, the counties in Lujiang County have become empty cities"
"How's that okay?"
The general's eyes looked out of the city, and when he saw the slowly approaching bandits, sweat appeared in his palms.
"Taishou has a word, the chief of Chaohu has already sent troops, which can solve the urgent need of Lujiang," the general said.
Everyone looked at each other, and one of them couldn't help but laugh.
The laughter was full of mockery: "Chief Chaohu? What Taishou said is that the son of the Jia family? ”
"Now that Chaohu Lake has been decided, how can we send troops in a short period of time? At first, the army of Changhe Town was only more than 100 people, although it annexed the Chaohu water thieves, but the hidden dangers were countless. How do they send troops? The man asked.
A sigh came, and one person said: "As far as I know, the water thieves entrenched in the mouth of the water are storming Changhe Town, and they are fortunate not to ask for help at this time, so where do they have the spare strength to send troops to help?"
"Lonely city, lonely city," the rest sighed at the same time.
There was also a trace of desolation in the general's heart, could it be that Taishou had given up the Lujiang County Government? .
Knock knock knock......
The drums beat a little louder.
A phalanx of water thieves walked out of the formation, and then saw that the phalanx made way for the way.
Dozens of wrestlers pushed three simple siege vehicles and slowly moved forward with heavy steps.
A water thief with a shield guards by the side of those wrestlers.
"Siege and siege vehicles"
A voice came from the city wall, and a Shu County soldier with a bow and arrow showed a look like he was facing a great enemy.
The general's heart sank when he stood on the city tower, where did these bandits come from the siege vehicles? .
Judging from the direction of these bandits, is it ......
Anhui County, if Anhui County is not attacked by thieves, won't the siege equipment fall into their hands.
"Destroy the siege engine, don't let it hit the gates"
"Where are the cavalry, get out of the city immediately......"
"No"
Hundreds of Shu County soldiers on war horses shouted in unison.
The north gate was wide open, and the cavalry of Zhongshu County slapped their horses at the same time and roared forward.
"Shield"
There was a violent sound among the bandits, and the shield soldiers guarding the siege vehicle stepped forward at the same time.
Shields are stacked in front of them, and since they are not special classes, they cannot form a shield array.
Even so, these shields in front of them can also block the impact of those cavalry.
Rumble......
With a loud bang, the horses crashed into the shields, and more than a dozen shield soldiers fell to the ground and died.
Then the horse neighed and fell to the ground.
The soldiers with large shields took the opportunity to throw their shields to the ground, pulled out their swords at their waists and killed the Shu County cavalry.
The bandits around reacted at the same time, clenching their blades and swarming towards the place where the cavalry fell.
The sound of swords and soldiers sounded, and a hundred Shu County cavalry drew their blades and fought to the death with those bandits.
The siege vehicle took the opportunity to avoid those Shuxian cavalry, and approached the city gate under the escort of the bandits.
"Shoot the Arrow"
The sound exploded in the castle tower and spread in all directions.
Woohoo......
The sky suddenly darkened, and a Shuxian crossbowman standing on the city wall pointed his arrow in the direction of the siege vehicle.
A dense rain of arrows flew from the sky, but it was still a little rare compared to the more than a thousand bandits.
A series of damage values appeared, except for the death of the dozen or so bandits who rushed to the front, the rest of the bandits only showed wounds of different sizes.
Chen Ce, who was standing at the rear of the army, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and when he saw that the siege vehicle was about to hit the city gate, the pride in his heart also rose.
Rumble......
With a loud bang, the siege vehicle slammed into the city gate under the impetus of the wrestlers.
The health bar on the city gate bursts with a huge amount of damage, and the amount of health drops at an incredible speed.
"Hold the gates"
More than 100 Shu County soldiers were divided into three and rushed to the three city gates. With flesh and blood, he pressed behind those gates, trying to block the pace of siege vehicles.
Rumble......
There was another loud bang, and the gates shook.
The crack appeared above, spreading in all directions.
The soldiers of Zhongshu County, who were behind the city gate, couldn't help but feel a sense of impending disaster.
Bang bang bang......
There was a series of sounds from the city walls, followed by the sound of a tsunami of mountains roaring.
"Kill"
A roar sounded from the south gate, and I saw a cloud ladder appear outside the city wall.
I don't know when Chen Ce actually appeared here, leading hundreds of bandits to climb the southern section of the city wall that defended the emptiness.
Dense and heavy footsteps sounded, and hundreds of water thieves followed the city wall soldiers in two directions to kill in the east and west.
"Report ......"
"The bandits have been killed from the southern section of the city wall using the ladder"
The bad news sounded on the tower of the North Gate, and the generals felt as if they were in an ice cave.
I didn't expect to fall for this thief's plan.
"Hurry up and meet the enemy"
The general pulled his neck and roared, and led more than 100 soldiers behind him to run wildly towards the northern section of the city wall.
A soldier from Mingshu County suddenly panicked, clenched the blade in his hand and followed.
Rumble......
At this moment, the north gate shattered, and hundreds of thieves entered from the north gate.
The aura of despair shrouded in the sky above Shu County, and the sound of panic resounded throughout the four fields in an instant.
The people of the city were in chaos, and the sounds of angry scolding and mourning were intertwined like a tidal wave.
