Chapter 278 God bless Danyang City, who is bullying the lonely woman and child here Plus more, drill 4000~~ Thank you for your support~~~
The prince of Anhui has besieged the city for six days, and because of Shang Yan's relationship in the camp, the prince looked in a trance for a few days, and he forgot about the siege.
Despite this, his generals dissuaded him from leaving here earlier and heading to the Yu border.
The mood of the prince of Anhui is getting worse and worse, and he doesn't believe that an empty city can stop him outside.
"Sikong Yan clearly didn't take me seriously!" Early this morning, the prince of Anhui was finally enraged by the dissuasion of his subordinates, and his subordinates received a report from the front that the enemy army of Yu State had retreated on all fronts.
If he led his troops to the border, even if he didn't participate in the battle, he would have had a share of the merit of retreating from the enemy, but now he is stalemate here with this empty city, and he has not made any achievements, not to mention, and has caused a commotion.
"Siege!" The prince angrily swung his sword and cut off a corner of several cases, and his generals were unwilling, but they could only keep their mouths shut and send troops out of battle.
If they continue to persuade them, the prince's sword may be cut off on their heads.
The army came to the city of Danyang.
The prince of Anhui rode on his horse, looked up at the city wall, and became angry.
"Attack!" He yelled.
He had enough of it, Sikong Yanfei ignored him, and now even Sikong Yanfei's woman dared to play tricks on him like this.
The soldiers carried the ladder and slowly approached.
Because the walls of Danyang City were five bricks higher than the old ones, arrows from a distance could only reach the outer walls.
The ladder was erected.
There was no movement in Danyang City.
The prince of Anhui laughed loudly, it seems that there are really no soldiers in the city.
He commanded his men to climb the ladder upward.
There are dozens of ladders, each of which is full of soldiers, like ants going up...... Up......
Suddenly, hundreds of heads appeared at the head of Danyang City, throwing out a long grass curtain.
The straw curtains were tightly connected, covering all the ladders inside.
Just as the prince of Anhui and his men looked up suspiciously, someone in the city poured black liquid again.
"What's that?" Prince Wan felt a little familiar.
"Yes...... Is it fierce oil? He shouted from someone else.
"Quick, get down!"
Prince Wan's expression was angry, he hadn't attacked the city yet, what to withdraw!
But his anger was no longer heard, and a torch was dropped from the city.
A small, insignificant torch rolled down on the oil-stained straw curtain.
All of a sudden, the flames rose dozens of feet high.
The ladder became a ladder of fire, and all the people on the ladder became people of fire.
Prince Wan and the others opened their mouths wide and watched in amazement as their soldiers screamed and rolled in the fire......
"Prince, retreat!" Finally, some generals couldn't stand it anymore.
He took his men with the crown prince to go to the border to retreat from the enemy and make meritorious contributions, not to let his carefully trained soldiers die in such meaningless places.
"Retreat!"
The clucking of Prince Wan's teeth has become like this, if he really retreats, won't he be disgraced?
"I don't believe it...... When this fire is finished, their walls will be fine! He shouted at the top of his voice, "Stay out of the way, and then attack when the fire is out!" ”
The fire burned for half an hour, and the head of Danyang City was scorched black.
Prince Wan sneered.
Don't look at this fire preventing them from attacking the city, but in the same way, there is no way to stand on Danyang City.
The heat of the flames was all upward, and not even an archer could stand on the head of the city, let alone defend it.
"Wait for the rest of the temperature to go down, and then attack." He ordered, "If you think their walls are burned, let's just break the city." ”
Fifty soldiers pushed the battering ram used to break the city, and the huge wooden frame supported the stone hammer, although it looked bulky but the strength was very strong.
The battering ram slammed straight into the walls.
Under the watchful eyes of all the people, there was still not a single soldier on the head of Danyang City, not even a single person who released arrows to stop them.
With a heavy blow, the stone hammer hit the city wall, only to shake the earth, and the soldiers who were pushing the battering ram were numb in their hands and feet.
Everyone invariably asked the same question: what kind of wall is this, and why is it so hard?
The prince of Anhui and the others were surprised to see that after the stone hammer impact, the city wall was still intact.
Not even a trace remained.
This is...... Miracles don't work? How could there be a wall so hard under the sky!
The besiegers were bewildered, and they looked at each other and stood there hesitantly.
"Prince, you can't attack anymore." One of the generals said, "Have you forgotten the rumors about Danyang City before?" ”
Last time, the prince secretly assigned his subordinates to disguise the city bandits to attack Danyang City, but he was summoned by the great witch who suddenly appeared in the city to "Heavenly Punishment", and a huge fireball fell from the sky, scaring all those people away.
"Danyang City is afraid that there are gods and ghosts protecting each other, prince, don't attack again."
The people of this era believed in the theory of gods and ghosts the most, and soon even the soldiers mentioned this matter.
"The external troubles have not been eliminated, the king of Danyang led his troops to retreat from the enemy, but we are here to attack his fiefdom......"
"This move is unjust, even the gods and ghosts can't stand it."
"I can't attack anymore, I shouldn't anger the gods and ghosts anymore!"
The prince of Anhui was angry and glared at the head of the city, "I am the royal family of Anhui, even if there are gods and ghosts, I can't help it, whoever can be the first to attack Danyang City today, I will reward this city to whom!" ”
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the reward.
As soon as Prince Wan's voice fell, there were really people in the army who were eager to try.
In the city, Zhong Ran snorted angrily, "It seems that there are really people who are not afraid of death." ”
Han Yue smiled helplessly, "Anyway, we still have a fierce oil grass curtain, and the city wall is not afraid of fire, so we continue to light the fire, but the city gate is tight." ”
Originally, the city gate was a wooden gate, but it was wrapped in three layers by Zhongran's public iron sheet, and it was extremely difficult to burn in case of fire.
"Then let's light another fire." Justice.
The prince of Anhui raised his voice and shouted, "Wait for the fear, with the protection of my royal bloodline, what can I do in Danyang City!" ”
"Kill!" His soldiers responded and prepared to attack the city again.
Han Yue ordered people to re-prepare the fierce oil and grass curtains, ready to throw them out.
At this moment, a deep male voice came from a distance, "The lonely commander is fighting bloodily in front of the battle, what a rat generation has taken the opportunity to bully the lonely woman and child here." ”
When Prince Wan heard this voice, he trembled.
The voice was so loud that even the people in the city could hear it clearly.
"Madame...... Madam! Zhong Ran Gong climbed down from the city, his excited eyes lit up, "It's the king!" It's the king who is back! ”
Han Yue carried the corners of her skirt and was almost dragged to the city by Zhong Ran Gong.
As far as the eye could see, I saw billowing smoke and dust rising from the path on one side, and a team of iron horsemen roared like thunder.
Prince Wan rode on his horse, looking at the smoke and dust, and his face lost blood.
There were only more than 1,000 iron horsemen on the opposite side, but they were well-equipped, and even the horses were all equipped with iron armor, and the riders on the horses were dressed in black iron armor and long halberds.
At the head of the war horse sat a person, black armor and black robe, a face carved like ice and stone, and starry eyes like frost, it was Sikong Yan, the king of Danyang.
