Chapter 14 The Lord Will Go Out
Yang Wushu summoned a soldier and ordered: "Xiaoyu, you take ten people to walk around the city wall for me, find the weakest place, insert a short spear mark, and report back to me." Then a tall, thin young man led the way.
Yang Wudi wiped the fine sweat on his face and carefully looked at the city gate not far away, it turned out that the wooden city gate was replaced by two copper gates that opened and closed left and right, needless to say, he also knew that there must be a thick bolt stuck behind the city gate, and there was a wooden suspension bridge on the city gate, which increased the difficulty of breaking in.
"Boom!" a rain of arrows shot towards the doorway where Yang Wuyi and the others were hiding, and then some debris such as dry firewood and dry branches were thrown down.
Yang Wudi's heart was cold, and he hurriedly drank: "Retreat quickly! Walk against the city wall! The traitor is about to set fire!"
Sure enough, a burst of rockets struck, and the entire city gate was instantly submerged in a sea of fire.
Xuanyi frowned and looked at the burning city wall in the distance, his heart full of worry. Father-in-law An also held the silver whisk tightly, and his lips moved slightly as if he was praying silently.
Zhou Ke, the deputy commander of the avant-garde, saw that the offensive was suppressed, and immediately ordered: "Everyone dismount and advance two hundred meters of bow and crossbow support!" Six hundred guards dismounted and rushed towards the city wall, and the arrows in their hands were thrown at the city wall without money, and for a while, many of the rebels on the city wall were also hit by arrows, and the wails were endless.
Fang Yu sat indifferently on the city tower, ignoring the arrows whistling in his ears, which made a lot of pain for the guards around him, he was the deputy military division of the rebel army in the eastern province of the Fairness Party, which was equivalent to the top few people in the eastern province of the entire Fairness Party, and his safety naturally could not be lost.
Fang Yu slowly took a sip of a cup of tea, as if he didn't care about the scorching war, he only took hundreds of relatives and guards to Danyang this time to discuss the alliance with the secret envoy of Montenegro, but who expected that the news leaked and was discovered by the secret agents of the Liang Dynasty on the way back. Fortunately, the alliance matter has been roughly communicated, so he can return to Ningdu Mansion and present the secret letter of the alliance of Montenegro to Zhang Zhu, the "Lord of the Fengtian Society".
Fang Yu looked at the fierce offensive of the Liang Dynasty army in front of him, and gradually became a little worried in his heart, the army in front of him was very different from the local army of the Liang Dynasty that he had fought before, and his fighting spirit, resilience, and morale were all much stronger. Fortunately, when he came to Danyang before, he instructed his subordinates to repair the city wall, otherwise this battle would have been lost.
There were more than 30,000 people in Danyang Town, and most of them were "brainwashed" by the missionaries of the Fair Church to join the church, so Fang Yu's various methods were also smoothly promoted, and many young and strong townspeople also joined the team to defend the city. Fang Yu pinched the Black Mountain National Book in his arms, and felt a little relieved, although he was currently surrounded by the Liang Dynasty army, as long as he held on until night, he could definitely break out of the encirclement with the personal martial arts of his personal guards.
"Yang Tou!" Yu Xiaoyu stumbled over from the other side of the city wall with a few blood-stained soldiers.
"How's the matter I told you to do?" Yang Wushu roared with a bull's eye.
"Don't worry! I have found the weakest part of the city wall, the city bricks are only three meters high, and they are all made of mud, and I can insert a javelin into it more than half a meter deep!" Yu Xiaoyu pointed to a city wall and reported to Yang Wuving.
"Good boy, well done!" Yang Wushu excitedly patted Yu Xiaoyu on the shoulder and ordered everyone beside him: "Everyone take the hook and short blade and climb the city wall with me!"
"Yes!" the remnants of the surrounding soldiers snapped into agreement.
Yang Wushu led hundreds of soldiers under the guidance of Xiao Yu to touch the city wall that had been connected, and more than ten hooks and ropes roared and hung on the city wall more than three zhang high.
"Up!" Yang Wushu waved his hand, more than a dozen soldiers with short knives and short guns in their mouths struggled to climb up towards the city wall, the mud rammed city wall was not as solid as the brick and stone after all, the soldiers inserted a short gun deep into the city wall every other distance, so that not only could they use their strength to climb and stabilize their figures, but also delay the momentum of falling in case of accidental falling.
The soldiers of the Liang Dynasty who climbed up quickly attracted the attention of the defenders on the city wall, and for a time there were all kinds of shouts on the city wall, and all kinds of arrows and stones fell down.
"Brothers, hurry up, rush to the city wall for me and kill all these rebels!" Yang Wushu shouted loudly urging his subordinates to climb hard, and took out a golden whistle from his bosom and blew it vigorously.
The shrill whistle sounded throughout the four fields, and Zhou Kenan, the deputy guard commander who commanded the remaining avant-garde troops, slowly raised the knight's spear in his hand and roared: "Brothers! Mounts speed up! Attack the city gate with all your might!"
The remaining 600 cavalry, under the leadership of Zhou Kenan, turned their horses' heads and slowly accelerated towards the west, and then the horses of the 600 cavalry became faster and faster, and after making a semicircular circle from west to east, they rushed towards the city gate.
"Take the drawbridge, break the city gate!" Zhou Kenan roared, his majestic body made a huge arc on the back of the galloping horse, and he threw the spear in his hand towards the city gate.
"Boom!" the spear, the thickness of an adult's arm, plunged into the drawbridge, the end of which was tied with a thick black chain, and one end of the chain was wrapped around Zhou Kenan's right arm.
"Tuk tuk tuk!" More throwing guns pierced into the drawbridge covered by the city gate, and more soldiers of the forward battalion followed Zhou Kenan's example and threw their throwing guns with all their might with the impact of their horses. For a time, the entire front of the suspension bridge was densely pierced.
"Pull it off for me!" Zhou Kenan commanded his subordinates to urge the horses to run towards the rear, and the huge traction force broke the fixed iron chain on the suspension bridge, and the suspension bridge also emitted an overwhelming "crunch" sound.
"Woo woo woo!" The defenders on the city wall found that the situation was not right, and immediately gathered the bed crossbow under the command of Fang Yu and shot towards Zhou Kenan and the others, and the forward battalion soldiers who struggled to pull the drawbridge had almost no room to dodge, so they could only stand in place and try their best to block and dodge, not that someone was shot and fell off the horse.
Xuanyi's fists were clenched extremely tightly, and the fierce battle in front of him almost suffocated him, and every moment his subordinates lost their lives, and almost three-quarters of the more than 1,000 people in the entire avant-garde army were killed, and the small city in front of him had not even broken through the city gate.
Gonggong An on the side was also blushing, seeing that he had never been able to break through the city gate, he didn't care about leaving a little thin face for Xuanyi and said: "Commander Chu, a guard is about to fill in, and not even a city gate has been broken, is this still the most elite army of my Daliang?" I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to Your Majesty!"
"We are cavalry, not infantry. A guard on the side muttered softly.
Gonggong An stared at Xuanyi as if he hadn't heard it, and said: "Even if there are no siege equipment, presumably Commander Chu has a countermeasure, and this prison army will wait for good news!"
After Gonggong An finished speaking, he took a few entourages into the carriage on the side to watch the battle, and several masters of the inner mansion who accompanied him followed Xuanyi with eyes that seemed to be about to eat people.
Xuanyi looked at the battlefield that was still fighting in the distance and said in a deep voice to the guards beside him: "Gather the guards to fight with me and take the city gate!"
The guard beside him hesitated for a moment and asked, "My lord, do you want to let the central guard attack again?"
"No need!" Xuanyi waved his hand: "Let's do the storming matter, and then hand over the follow-up sweep into the city to them!"
"Obey!" A group of guards quickly assembled, and under the leadership of Xuanyi, they rushed towards the city gate.
