Chapter 55: Defending Jinyan (Part I) (New Books for Recommendation and Collection)

……

As early as three days ago, the soldiers under the command of Ma Tong had arrived in Jinyan County, just besieged but not attacked, and seemed to be waiting for reinforcements, even if Lu Shun guessed the intentions of the official army, but there was no way at all, he could only brake quietly and defend Jinyan City!

Lu Shun was also a little hesitant, remembering what Su Jun had said before leaving, "Lu Er, even if you die, you have to defend Jinyan County for me, as short as three or five days, or as slow as more than ten days, I will send troops to help", what Lu Shun was waiting for was not Tsing Yi, but a steady stream of officers and soldiers.

Two days ago, I don't know where to rush a group of Yong'an troops, not only a large number of people, the momentum is mighty, but also carrying a part of the siege equipment, the seemingly impregnable Jinyan City is already a little precarious.

Under the Jinyan City, the endless war drums and the low horn sound resounded in the sky, on the endless wilderness, the Yong'an Army swept like a tide, a vigorous banner whirred in the wind, and the banner was embroidered with a majestic "high" word.

Directly below the banner sat on the horse, this person was in a white robe and white armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, his posture was promoted like a pine, and his momentum was as strong as the sun, it was Gao Chi, the commander of the reinforcements of Hongding City, and on the left and right sides of Gao Chi, who also rode a high-headed horse was the strategist Man Wencai and the partial general Fu Yu.

Gao Chi was very satisfied with Ma Tong's ability to give up the position of coach, and at this time he was in high spirits, and snorted coldly with an arrogant expression: "This Su Jun, he doesn't have much ability, but he is not small, with more than a thousand bandits, he wants to hold Jinyan City?" It's a dream! ”

Man Wencai and Fu Yu glanced at each other, and laughed loudly: "What knowledge can you have in a mere bandit?" After winning a few battles by luck, it is normal to not know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, but I don't know that the tall people have come with the power of the sky, and today is the time for them to perish."

Gao Chi arrogant naturally has arrogant capital, and the well-equipped Hongding City reinforcements are his arrogant capital that is neatly arranged behind him.

These reinforcements are different from the ordinary county soldiers under the command of Ma Tong, they are covered with a pair of black thin iron chain armor, they are all about thirty years old, the muscles on their bodies are strong, and their eyes are flashing with a terrifying essence, all the soldiers are holding a shield in their left hand and a sword in their right hand, even the small lock of cherry red on the top of the helmet looks miserable like blood in the light of the remnant sun!

At this time, if the seven county lords were here, they would be surprised to find that the reinforcements from Hongding City were not ordinary county soldiers, but garrisons stationed at the border, responsible for guarding the border passes and resisting the invasion of the Northern Barbarians.

Although there are only 2,000 garrisons here, with just these 2,000 people, they can easily destroy Lu Shun seventy or eighty back and forth, of course, the premise is that Lu Shun and other Tsing Yi thieves give up the advantage of the high walls of Jinyan City!

The county soldiers of Shen County and Hongding, as cannon fodder, have launched several charges, their role at this time is to consume the rolling stone and sassage on the city wall, and use the flesh and blood to fight hard to consume, the boiling oil is ruthlessly poured on the officers and soldiers who climb up the ladder, a wail, countless officers and soldiers rolled down from the ladder, and the soldiers behind them continued to make up for it.

Not far away, dozens of officers and soldiers had already begun to push a wooden behemoth, the siege tower, and slowly walked towards Jinyan City.

"Rockets, release rockets quickly" Lu Shun knew the power of the siege tower, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to launch rockets with outstanding archery skills, dozens of thieves in green clothes howled in response, and the sparse rain of arrows fell from the sky and tilted down against the siege tower.

The well-trained officers and soldiers had already been prepared, knowing that the wooden siege towers were afraid of rockets, and immediately a group of shield armor soldiers with large shields formed a strong shield wall to block the rockets fired by the Tsing Yi thieves.

"Master Lu, the rocket has no effect, I'll take the brothers up", the Tsing Yi thief on the side saw that his rocket had its due effect, and said anxiously.

"Okay, be careful", Lu Shun knew that the situation was urgent, and once the Yong'an army was killed on the wall, he would have no advantage at all.

"Brothers who are not afraid of death, come with me", the thief in Tsing Yi spat on a mouthful of thick phlegm, threw away the machete in his hand, and picked up the iron chain.

In an instant, nearly 100 Tsing Yi thieves rushed out, and they threw out the chains in their hands one after another, hanging them at the top of the siege tower, and all the Tsing Yi thieves pulled together, and the tip of the official army siege tower that was set out of the chains instantly tilted into an arc visible to the naked eye.

"The brothers work harder, and they will be pulled down immediately, who will contribute the most, and who will be the first to go up tonight", the Tsing Yi thieves on the side cheered up each other's morale.

"Boom", the behemoth reached the limit of force, fell down in response, and fell apart into a flying piece of broken wood and broken boards, and at the same time, the officers and soldiers on the tower did not have time to flee for their lives, and were instantly overwhelmed under the tower and turned into powder.

With the collapse of the last siege tower from Hongding City, the county soldiers began to step on the cloud ladder again, and started a war of attrition with their bodies.

"Fire oil, hurry up and pour the fire oil, and pour Lao Tzu to death this group of deflated grandsons", the boiling fire oil poured down from the city, and the soldiers who did not dodge were instantly disfigured and disfigured, and a smell of boiled meat permeated the entire battlefield.

"Rolling wood, stones, smash for Lao Tzu, smash ...... hard"

"Rockets, rocket launchers, shoot rockets at the oil and burn these dog-raised ......"

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

Rockets were shot down from the top of the city, and the flames of the arrows ignited the fire oil that poured down, and the entire foot of the city wall instantly became a sea of fire.

"General Gao, there are too many casualties in such a siege, even if we can take Jinyan City, our losses will be immeasurable", the partial general on the side said to Gao Chi in the middle.

"Mingjin withdraws the troops and fights again tomorrow", Gao Chi's face was unwavering, as if these people who died were not Yong'an's soldiers and had nothing to do with him.

"Woo~~"

With the sound of a low, desolate bull's horn, the Yong'an Army, which was crowded under the Jinyan City Wall, began to slowly retreat, retreating beyond the range of the thieves and archers to regroup.

"Haha, this group of dog officers and soldiers have been repelled by us"

Lu Shun's face was overjoyed, and he was so excited that he raised his arms and cheered loudly.

"The officers and troops have retreated, and we are victorious"

All the thieves and death row inmates also howled loudly, venting their fears of death and the joy of winning the first battle.

"It's good to be alive, everyone hold on, Su Ye's reinforcements will arrive soon, we will hold on, and when the time comes, we will teach this group of dog officials a hard lesson when we go out of the city", the Tsing Yi thief on the side wiped the blood on his face and said loudly.
