Chapter 111: East and West Fight
"Don't panic, the whole army will go to the city wall, pass my orders, gather all the private soldiers of the slave owners in the city, and cooperate in the defense!"
Hato, the defender of Langya City, rushed to the city wall, looking at the beacon flames in the distance, and the red fire crow army flag fluttering, his heart trembled in shock.
He knows more about the news of the Fire Raven Army, and few people know that the Thousand Households Hasuo of Daha City is actually his own brother.
Originally, he was still worried, his younger brother surrendered to the enemy, and after the king fish checked and recovered Daha City, how could he intercede to save his brother's life.
I never dreamed that it would be the Fire Raven Army that took the lead and killed Langya King City.
And at a cursory glance, the enemy's 20,000 cavalry, although the formation is panicked, but the combat strength is not bad.
The infantry meandered in, and the number is difficult to judge, but according to the convention, if you want to capture the Langya King City, you need at least tens of thousands of infantry.
In a short period of time, the Fire Raven Army had such strength, which was completely unexpected by him.
"General, our army only has 10,000 defenders, three of the eight slave masters in the city died, three followed the king to the battle, and now there are only two left, and the maximum number of private soldiers will not exceed 20,000, so let's ask the king for help!"
"The king is storming the loess hill, and he will return in a day or two at most, can't we hold this time?"
"Guard the fart, don't forget that there are still hundreds of thousands of big ghost slaves in the city, this is also a hidden danger, someone must be sent to take care of it, how can we do it!"
"Don't make any noise!"
Hato waved his hand irritably, and ordered loudly: "Send a letter to the king immediately and ask for support." ”
Soon, more than a dozen eagle doves flew into the sky and flew in the direction of Black Valley City to the north.
Eagles and pigeons are similar to pigeons, they can take off from anywhere, but their destinations are relatively fixed, and the delivery can only be sent to Black Valley City, and then Black Valley City can be delivered to the front line.
On a hill, Jebel left the Yucha camp and wandered around alone, frowning slightly when he saw the eagles and pigeons flying in the sky.
"Whoosh," an arrow flew into the clouds, shooting down an eagle dove thousands of kilometers above the ground.
"The tens of thousands of troops of the Fire Raven Army are storming the Langya King City?" After reading the note, Jebel's eyes lit up, and he turned over his horse and headed south.
At the same time, the infantry of the Langya army had arrived ten miles outside the city of Langya King.
"There is no need to set up camp, three infantry battalions, take turns feints from the west, south, east, three directions!!"
Li Wenhao issued a military order, and the new second battalion, the new third battalion, and the new fourth battalion pushed the siege equipment and entered their respective positions.
When the three battalions reached their respective positions, the new second battalion in the west took the lead in attacking, and more than a dozen catapults flew through the air, smashing large fireworks at the head of the city, and screaming.
The infantry, with shields and ladders, shouted and charged the walls.
"Launch!"
Above the city, Harto was also not to be outdone, and the trebuchet and crossbow installed at the head of the city began to fight back.
Fireballs, bed crossbows as thick as small arms, across the battlefield, shields exploding, flesh and bones flying.
Li Erkui personally led the troops to charge, the giant axe in his hand was burly, and the oncoming arrows were sent flying, stepping on the ladder to climb the city, and he went up the city wall in two or three clicks.
"Big Split!"
The third-order Xuanbing giant axe slashed down heavily, and with a loud bang, the city wall was split into a big hole, and the battle strength of the Langya soldiers was unstable.
Li Erkui waved the giant axe in his hand, and more than a dozen heads flew into the air.
"Stop him, boom!" The two third-order Langya generals rushed up, one by one, and took turns to release their combat skills, and Li Erkui, who was fighting, could only retreat.
Li Wenhao rode a scaly horse, opened the ten-mile sand table, and looked at the battle situation in front of him while checking the changes in the enemy army in other places.
In just a quarter of an hour, the first attack failed, more than 2,000 people were killed and wounded, and the battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"General, our soldiers are all new recruits, and the casualties are too great in this way!" Li Wenkui ran over panting, sweating all over and carrying a blood-stained giant axe.
"Ci is not in charge of the troops, we are pressed for time, we must familiarize the soldiers with the atmosphere of the battlefield as soon as possible, pass on my order, and the new fourth battalion in the east will attack!"
Li Wenhao turned his horse's head and headed to the east, observing through the ten miles of sand table, the enemy troops were all attracted to the west, and now was a good time to attack from the east.
After a while, Li Rong led the new fourth battalion to attack from the east, and for a while, because there were fewer defenders in the east, he actually hit the city.
However, there were many defensive equipment in Langya Wangcheng, and the recruits suffered heavy casualties and were beaten back.
"The new fourth battalion rests, and the east second battalion in the west begins to attack!"
Li Wenhao saw that the Langya army ran from the west to the east, and turned his head and ordered the west to attack.
"Despicable!"
On the city wall, Harto had just run to the east wall, and heard the shouts of the west city wall, and he cursed angrily.
"General, the big ghost bullied us with few soldiers and deliberately dragged us on both sides, it won't work like this!"
"Yes, if it goes on like this, it doesn't take a few back and forth, and the soldiers are all tired and lying down. ”
"But if you don't run, you can't rely on those private soldiers, if the enemy really attacks, won't you lose the city!"
A group of Langya generals were panting and noisy while running to the west of the city, and they couldn't come up with a good solution.
"Use this to smash the trebuchet on the city!"
Under the southern city, Li Wenhao took out more than a dozen gasoline barrels and distributed them to several catapults.
"Boom, boom," the new third battalion, which had been standing still in the south, suddenly opened fire on the catapult.
Oil bombs, mixed with gasoline drums, exploded on the city wall, and the city turned into a sea of fire in an instant.
Hato and his soldiers were on their way to support the west when they were caught off guard by a bomb, screaming for a while, and countless figures turned into fireballs and fell under the city.
"Shameless!"
Harto punched out, trying to extinguish the flames around him, but the gasoline produced by the system was of high quality, but it was not ordinary fire oil, how could it be extinguished.
The fire was swept away by the fist wind, and the "whew" was even more ferocious, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, and the cultivators below the third order were also burned.
When the group ran to the west city wall, they were burned black one by one, and there were thousands of dead and wounded.
"General, the fire oil in your big iron bucket is too powerful, throw more and burn them!" Li Erkui's big black face lit up.
"Nonsense, I want to have enough of them, and I still need you to say, just a dozen barrels, gone!"
Li Wenhao also knows that the effect of gasoline barrels is good, but it is a pity that this thing is not easy to explode like powerful explosives.
He only has more than 500 kilograms of powerful explosives, and a shell requires two kilograms of explosives, and he is reluctant to use it until the critical moment.
Fortunately, the current situation is under his control.
"General, if you don't leave half of the men and horses on the side, we won't wait for the big ghost to attack the city, and we will be finished ourselves!"
"General, the last general will lead the troops out to rush, it's too embarrassing to fight like this!"
It's another back and forth, Langya people can't stand it anymore, they spread on the ground one by one, and they don't want to run anymore.
