Chapter 157: Linglong Hits
Zhao Chong attacked the city, he could have taken out the burden first, threw the chaotic stones to disrupt the formation of the guards on the city tower first, and then supplemented it with bows and arrows to hinder the replenishment of troops. However, due to his intention to attack quickly, in order to avoid the sound of the heavy rolling being detected by the castle tower, he directly arranged a long-range night attack by archers without warning without warning, and caught people off guard.
But it also gave Jiang Linglong a chance.
The Pingnan army has not yet come out, and the catapult that Kuang Yu has reformed overnight is equivalent to having no opponent on the field.
She probed out from Teng Dun and reached out to catch another guard.
When the little soldier saw that it was her, his face was shocked, "City Lord, go back quickly!" β
"Leave me alone!" She hoarsely voiced in the noise for fear that the other party would not be able to hear clearly, so she pulled the person closer and shouted into his ear, "You find someone to help, I want a lot of snow!" That's big enough for a catapult to fill! Be quick! Immediately! β
The man's face was the same as that of the soldier who had gone to push the baggage before, and he should have gotten into the rain of arrows, and bowed to find someone to help.
"Xue An, let me ask you," she just finished giving the order, and shouted at Xue An again, "Is Zhong Lei in the Red Ghost Camp?" β
Xue An waved his hand at her.
Her expression was visibly settled.
But Xue An's heart suddenly made waves.
He felt that he seemed to know why the Lord of Shaohua County was so angry with King Pingnan just now.
He felt that the stiffness at the moment when she ascended the tower was instinctively afraid.
Reverence for war and life.
It was at that moment that she seemed to think of something.
The anger washed away the fear, and she was able to move again.
"Do you want to go to the south of the city to have a look?" He carried Teng Dun and led her to the center point.
Jiang Linglong shook her head.
"Luohe plague, don't let anyone out!"
Xue An's heart was not a taste.
Righteousness is righteousness, but you are dying!!
Ancestors!
The baggage moves more slowly than expected.
The Pingnan army rained arrows, and the stone slabs of the city tower were inserted into the ground, and the rollers were pushed by people and pressed slowly.
Downstairs, the sound of the heavy impact of wooden stakes never stopped.
Jiang Linglong couldn't wait, and rushed out of Teng Dun, and ordered the city guards who were pulling bows and shooting at the other party in front of them, "Go and help!" Give up shooting, clear the way for the baggage, and more people will push the catapult over! Teng Dun cover! β
Everyone didn't have time to think about it, and those who heard the command immediately went to help, and those who didn't hear the command in the distance were soon sent by the signal soldiers, who also carried bows and arrows on their backs, and were slow to fly.
The soldiers who had just collected the snow arrived with people and carts with eight large wooden barrels.
"City Lord, the snow is coming!" After he finished speaking, he pointed to the rear, "There are many more, the people from the lion camp are loading the truck, and they will be delivered immediately!" β
Jiang Linglong bowed her head, "Push it over and load it with snow!" β
The man tilted his head.
"Fill it with snow instead of stones!"
I'm afraid that the other party didn't understand the meaning of reloading.
"Order!"
He pushed the cart and joined the baggage soldiers under the cover of rattan armor.
"The person who followed Kuang Yu to make a catapult is not here!" Jiang Linglong almost shouted and asked, but her strength was not enough, and the sound was quickly covered by the friction of catapults and the beating of the drums of the Pingnan army.
"You let everyone repeat," Xue An understood her intentions and stopped a running soldier, "The person who made the catapult is not here, and he wants to operate it." β
There it was, for a moment, the sound of questions in tone like slogans, and on the other side of the tower, someone came from the crowd and the rain of arrows, and stood still among the catapults.
Everyone immediately put up shields to take cover, and he commanded them.
I saw that he dismantled the valve bolt thrown by the catapult, and the handle of the catapult immediately lay flat. Buckets of snow pressed up solidly, and the reload was completed.
Under his command, seven or eight men pushed the handle of the vessel from the other side, and it was seen that it was about to cross the tower, and a semicircle of one hundred and eighty degrees was drawn in the plane where heaven and earth met.
Under the city tower, thirty or forty people carried piles to break the door, tirelessly, seeing that the door bolt had been knocked into a bend, the great work was imminent, I don't know who shouted, "Be careful of the sky!" Everyone looked up in unison, and in a panic, a huge snowball fell straight down on themβ"Boom! β
After this muffled sound, time stood still for about three breaths. Even the rain of arrows stopped.
After three breaths, there was no more crashing sound.
On the city tower, someone held Teng Dun downstairs and cautiously stretched out his head to look, looked back, and reported loudly, "Dizzy!" Dizzy dizzy! I'm dizzy in the snowdrift!! β
The cheers resounded through the city tower for a while.
"Can catapults still be used like this? It's so much fun! Just like that, drop it! β
"It's such a big one, it's a snowball, it's going to be replaced with a stone, and it will kill people directly!"
"It's better than throwing a stone at us!"
"You don't have to take a net, no one will find out if you shoot through the arrow first."
The besiegers fell, and the rain of arrows did not reappear. After all, the point of cover is lost.
"Fortify the gates!" Jiang Linglong didn't dare to relax, and the Pingnan Army in the distance was obviously watching. "The city guards continue to defend the city, the catapults continue, and then use them normally, just smash snowballs at them, compact them, smash them to stun, try not to smash them to death."
The people in the city should be in unison.
Luohe Niangniang is a fairy.
People are beautiful, and their hearts are kind.
The Pingnan army is disgusting, but they are Luohe's soldiers, and they feel that they are following behind the mother, and they have changed from rough old men to young men.
Everyone is a Gu Han. Don't kill your own people until you have to.
This was the will that came out of the palace at the beginning.
Everyone waited, watched, tensed their muscles, and waited for the movement of the Pingnan army.
The clarion call for retreat remembered.
The Pingnan Army failed to sneak attack and withdrew!
Jiang Linglong turned his head sideways to Xue An and said, "You go to the east gate, if you are still fighting, you will inform Cheng Houli about the catapult." The East Gate also has a baggage guard that will use it. β
Xue An refused, "I'm leaving, what should you do." He leaned in to her and whispered, "There are so many private soldiers in the army. β
"That's why," Jiang Linglong emphasized, "I only have you to believe at the moment." She nudged him, "Go ahead, I'm fine." I was with the one who used the catapult, he was a soldier picked by Kwong Yu, and he escorted me back to the camp. β
Xue An looked uneasy, and his face was full of reluctance to let the soldier go directly to the east gate.
"You are good at light work, you have a fast foot, without me, you will fly twice to Dongcheng." She pushed him again, "It will take time for the soldier to ride his horse." What's more, Cheng Houli has seen you, but he has never seen him. β
Xue An sighed, told her to be careful in everything, and jumped off the city tower, stepping on a cloud of dust on the rubble of the roof in the city, and disappeared to the east in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Linglong saw it with her own eyes and was breathtaking.
No wonder Zhao Chong knew that he was unfaithful and wanted to stay.
Xue An is a treasure!
On the castle tower, some people cleaned the battlefield, some people continued to stand guard, and there were a few more people next to the catapult, surrounding the mechanism of learning how to move the valve bolt.
She took off her rattan armor, felt much more relaxed, and was about to go to the baggage, when suddenly her expression tightened.
"The Pingnan Army feinted to retreat !!"
The sentinels were making quick announcements, beating trumpets, and in the darkness of the night, something was flying in front of them.
"It's rocks! They're going to attack the baggage! β
The whole army was fighting, and for a while the footsteps were panicked, and they avoided everywhere in all directions.
The main attack of the rocks is the baggage.
But it's not just baggage.
It's to destroy the catapult, and by the way, destroy some more human lives.
Jiang Linglong was able to dodge a stone, and the guards on the side rushed over, "City Lord, what is going on now, we listen to your orders!" β
She bowed her head and raised her hand to a certain place, but her complexion was different suddenly, and she didn't even have time to react or call for help, Jiang Linglong fell straight to the ground like a fainting-
Almost on the ground, a pair of big hands supported her waist and buckled her back into her arms, the person who came was dressed in a military uniform, hugged the lord of Shaohua with one hand, and held a big knife in the other, and the tip of the knife pointed directly in the direction pointed by Jiang Linglong.
It's a beacon that's still burning.
"Attack with fire." He was masked in the night, revealing only a pair of eyes like a clear spring.
The little soldier's eyes lit up, recognized him, and said happily, "Master Kuang! β
Kuang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked into the distance, and after identifying the other party's situation, his voice was calm and decisive, and he relied on internal force to convey to the Quartet, "Don't be soft." Kill! β
