Chapter 90: Youzhou (46)

There are advantages and disadvantages to the concentration of the gates of Icheon Castle in one place, and all the defenses are concentrated here, and there is no need to guard against other gates. The disadvantage is that once the opponent uses a trebuchet or a crossbow, the casualties on this side are also very heavy.

Eleven years ago, Youzhou was slaughtered, and the other party broke the gate of Cangzhou City before entering. Even if there is eight or nine deaths on this side of Icheon City, it can still stand it. This is also the reason why in the past eleven years, Hui has rarely attacked this side. On the other hand, Cangzhou City, with so many city gates, occupies a large area in the city wall, and it is easy to find a breakthrough.

If the Hui people don't leave, they have to hold their nerves!

Saitoha received information that his eldest brother had broken through the opponent's newly built city wall and was about to transport trebuchets and crossbows, but unfortunately there was also a row of stone pillars on the ground of the new and old city walls, which were harder than the city walls, and their trebuchets and horses could not get through.

Saitoha had already sent someone to dig up those stone pillars, but he didn't expect to dig so deep before he dug out the stone pillars. He saw that the bottom of the pillar was actually red.

Another subordinate leaned over and said, "My lord, it's a brick." The information that came before said that the Tai'an people were making bricks, which was this kind of red. ”

Saito Ha wanted people to continue digging, but the Icheon Castle side had already discovered it, and had adjusted the position of the bow cart to shoot at the Hui soldiers digging cement.

In the end, Saitoha had no choice but to have people hold shields against the human wall, and the rest of the people began to dig. They were soon able to get over the pillars and drive the trebuchets in.

Li Daxiao, the general of Lichuan City, frowned and looked at the movement in the distance, and said to Lan Ronghe: "It's time for us to strike back." ”

On their walls, the weapons that had been assembled were ready to be fired, and as a dozen soldiers pulled together, stone projectiles were thrown far from the height of the city gates, and the two-bar trebuchet was in the middle of the return.

"It's so cool!" Li Daxiao shouted.

When Song Guan sent Captain Lan here, he still didn't understand. That's a good plan now!

Block the enemy's path with concrete pillars, and when the opponent's trebuchet is ready to cross the concrete pillars, you can open fire. Hui Hui's trebuchet didn't have the same range as their new trebuchet, and if they tried to get close, they had to be beaten. This makes Hui Hui's trebuchet useless!

Lan Ronghe moved his gaze to the new trebuchets at the city gate, not expecting that the drawings given by his mother would be such powerful trebuchets. General Song was afraid of leaking the news, so he secretly developed these weapons, and shipped them in batches, and only assembled them when he came here.

Lu Yingfang couldn't care about the war anymore, Wanling had a high fever again, she had no choice, so she bought antipyretic medicine from Taobao again. This made Wanling's fever subside. At the same time, Qian and Qian's mother also rushed over from Binh Duong Mansion.

When Wan Ling saw her mother and grandmother, she had some spirits.

Qian Gu thanked Lu Yingfang, and the two chatted for a while before Lu Yingfang went to rest.

Lord Wang went to Lu Yingfang, and Lord Wang persuaded her to take her female dependents back to Pingyang Mansion.

Now that the battle is deadlocked, Cangzhou City and Lichuan City may be attacked by the Hui infantry at night tonight. Lord Wang believes that he can defend the city, but the Lan family is too important now, and if it is lost, it will be the loss of the people of the world.

Lu Yingfang was reluctant to go, first, she had a system to broadcast live, second, Lan Ronghe was here, and third, Wanling's body was too weak at the moment to move.

"Thanks to Lord Wang's kindness, the old body still decided to stay." Lu Yingfang wanted to come and said her plan. That night, Mr. Wei Guo was invited to chat with Lu Yingfang.

At this moment, the Hui people outside Cangzhou City and Lichuan City decided to attack at night.

The Tai'an sergeants noticed that there was something unusual, and as soon as their Kong Ming lantern rose, they were shot down by the Hui archers, and they could not see the movement in the night.

However, they had bows and arrows made of cement, pouring cement into molds, and the front was a three-edged copper arrowhead, and the cement arrows more than a meter long were shot by a dozen soldiers with bows and crossbows at a long distance, and no matter what kind of armor they had, they were basically penetrated.

A dozen new crossbows were fired in the middle of the night, and the soldiers changed several stubbles, and it was almost ten minutes before dawn that they stopped. Anyway, cement arrows don't feel distressed to use, and they are simply an essential weapon for harvesting human lives.

At dawn, it was discovered that the Hui people who attacked at night were wounded, and some cement arrows even pierced three soldiers.

If their infantry had attacked the city directly yesterday, I am afraid that they would have died even more!

Even if the stone stakes in the ground are dug and the cavalry attacks them in one go, the opponent's stone sword has a long range and great power, and the cavalry casualties will be very heavy.

The Uighurs did not withdraw, and on the night of the next day, the sound of the guard sounded in the city of Icheon, and the Uighurs had quietly solved the soldiers who were guarding on the stone mountain, preparing to raid the night on the path.

Li Daxiao had already had a countermeasure, several rows of archers kept taking turns to shoot, but a small number of Hui soldiers avoided the rain of arrows and jumped down from several places in the stone mountain.

The city walls suddenly became a battlefield.

The Hui manpower is infinite, and these elites who were sent quickly fought their way out. Hand-to-hand combat is their forte, and when they encounter a rain of arrows, they pull the Tanner soldiers to block them.

More than 30 Uighur soldiers caused chaos in the city tower.

As for the Hui soldiers under the city, two or three people carried a wooden plank forward, reducing the casualties caused by cement arrows.

Lan Ronghe also joined the battle, a taller and stronger Hui soldier than him had already raised his knife and pounced on him, he avoided it sideways, and the sword in his hand slashed sideways, but it only drew a line on the opponent's armor, and it couldn't hurt the internal organs at all.

Several Tai'an soldiers came over with spears to help, but the other party did not take the usual path, and smashed the big knife forward, causing the soldiers next to him to burst into tears, he took the opportunity to snatch the spear, and waved it directly, and the sharp spear actually directly cut the throats of several soldiers!

Lan Rong's eyes widened, and the other party smiled mockingly at him, and he rushed forward to fight with his sword.

Then the arm strength of the Hui soldier was amazing, and after a few rounds, the arm with which he was carrying the knife had been shaken to the point that he was almost unable to use his strength, and the opponent used the force for the last time, and the knife in his hand was gone.

The knife in front of him had already fallen in front of him, and the other party's head suddenly tilted, and the whole person was dragged out.

As he was dragged to the ground, several Tai'an soldiers poked his head with spears in unison! He didn't have time to scream before he died.

Only then did Lan Ronghe discover that a soldier had lassoed the head of the Hui soldier with a rope and dragged him away. The little soldier was on the inside of the tower, where the light was insufficient, why did he look familiar?

The soldier next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Captain Lan, are you okay?" ”

Lan Ronghe stood up, still staring at the soldier in the shadows in front of him, and the soldier on the other side gave him a thumbs up, probably complimenting him on how good he was.

"Captain Lan, look!" The soldier next to him pointed down.

Although all the Uighur soldiers on the city wall have been killed, the Uighur soldiers under the city have already taken the opportunity to approach!

The archery skills of the Hui people are well-known, and now the Tai'an soldiers are standing in the light and do not dare to probe at all. As soon as you show your head, you will immediately become a target.

The concrete piles in the distance had been dug up in the night, and now the trebuchets had slowly been transported, and once the trebuchets were in range, the stone projectiles would cause damage to the city.

The walls of Icheon Castle have also been strengthened and heightened, but it is difficult to achieve the original intention of reducing casualties.

In the middle of the night, when the sky is unclear, the Kong Ming lantern will be shot down as soon as it rises into the sky.

After each Kong Ming lantern ascended to the sky, with the moment of illumination, the Tai'an soldiers adjusted the position of the trebuchet and eliminated the trebuchet moving forward.

Soon, Hui Hui's trebuchet had reached the firing range, and the opponent's stone projectiles also roared over the city walls, causing damage to the soldiers in the city!

The concrete arrows on the crossbow had been replaced with oil-coated arrows, and just before they could be fired, the arrows were ignited and rushed straight down with a roaring fire, falling directly on the Hui soldiers and on the trebuchet.

Below, the flames were everywhere, and the Hui soldiers had no time to extinguish the fire, and a steady stream of rockets came at them.

The firelight illuminated below, and the huge crossbow kept changing its direction slightly, and the fiery arrows kept shooting downward.

The Uighur soldiers were busy extinguishing the fire on the trebuchet, but the Tai'an soldiers shot at the oil cans, which fell to the ground, and some of them were contaminated with sparks, and immediately burst into flames.

More canisters of oil caused screams beneath the city gates......

- Wow, the blueprints of the giant bow and crossbow and the new trebuchet you gave to Song Guan have made a huge difference! It's up to you to win this time! Although the soldiers didn't know that it was you who sent the blueprints, they were very grateful to these machines, and the system automatically converted them into your merit points. There are more than 200 in one night! You'll soon have thousands of merits, do you want to buy potatoes in the mall?

Lu Yingfang: You are really an emotionless machine. The war is in full swing over there, and it's like a harvester of human lives. You also count the things in this mall.

- I've been with you for more than half a year, and it's been almost a year since rounding up, and you haven't spent anything in the mall! By the way, because I was not doing well, I didn't like it, and the rights and interests of Taobao shopping that I originally won for you were also canceled.

Lu Yingfang felt that it was a pity, but there was no way. Fortunately, the novels I bought before can still be read, I hope that the authors of those through novels are more reliable, and check the information when writing novels! This way she can get some recipes directly from the novel.

Lv Yingfang: Thank you for your hard work.

- You're suddenly like this, people are not used to it! Boom......

Lv Yingfang: Why don't you turn off the computer and hibernate for a while!

- Uh-huh, you won't be able to get a live broadcast this way!

Lv Yingfang: That's right! What's going on now?

- The Uighurs suffered heavy losses, and the trebuchets of the Uighurs outside Cangzhou City and Lichuan City were burned to the ground, and their night attack failed. There are no trebuchets, morale is low, and it is not pleasing to forcibly attack the city. In addition, the power of cement arrows is too great, and the cavalry is not useful. They estimated that they would have to retreat tonight, otherwise they were afraid that there would be pursuers after dawn.

Lu Yingfang asked in hindsight: How is the situation of the fourth child?

Mu has a way, she has been worried about Wanling's high fever, and besides, the weapon blueprints she gave should come in handy. The safety of the fourth child was temporarily left behind by her.

- He was hit by a stray arrow, and he injured his arm.

Lu Yingfang breathed a sigh of relief: "There shouldn't be a big problem with the arm!" If you hurt the meridians, you will be in trouble. ”

- He doesn't have a big problem, but your other son has a big problem.

Lv Yingfang: ?
