Chapter 908: Defend the City Gate
Zhega really lacks experience in defending the city, and he doesn't know that he will block the city gate at this time, forcing the opponent to build a cloud ladder to climb, looking at the roaring crossbow arrows, dense like a raging storm, his heart is panicked, and he doesn't know what to do. Eagles
Suddenly, he thought of someone and hurriedly shouted, "Quick, let the messenger come." ”
The messenger, the intelligence network left the person in charge of communications, Li Jingren's subordinates.
Not long after, a sturdy man hurried over with his waist hunched over, didn't care about saluting, sat down with his back against the wall, there were too many crossbow arrows, too fierce, and he would be shot if he didn't pay attention to it, and asked, "General, do you need to send a letter to me?" ”
"No, let me ask you, how did King Han defend the city?" Zhega asked.
"The Han King guards the city?"
The other party was stunned, he was a person responsible for transmitting information, where did he know how King Han defended the city? couldn't help but think about the question, reacted suddenly, and said: "I've heard of some of the Han King's ways of defending the city. ”
"Come on!" Eagles
Zhega's eyes lit up and he asked.
"One is to dig a big pit at the gate of the city, and the enemy will break open the gate and come in, and all of them will fall into the pit, and the archers will be arranged around the pit to shoot and kill, so that they can kill the enemy; Another way is to fill the city gate with bags of soil, so that it will be difficult for the enemy to enter, but it will also be difficult for your own people to get out. The other party hurriedly said.
"Dig a pit? Blocking the door? ”
Zhega is a veteran of the battlefield in the end, a little penetration, his eyes are shining, and he said excitedly: "Digging the pit is too slow, it's too late, Manla!" ”
"Here!" One of the generals replied loudly.
"Take your men and quickly dig up the earth and bag it, and block the city gates."
"Obey!" Eagles
The other party said yes and quickly took the person away.
"We'll have to delay a bit."
Zhega secretly said in his heart, looked carefully, and saw that the imperial army was shooting frantically without money, and it was impenetrable, and he would die if he showed his head, and there was no way to fight back, but he couldn't fight back, and shouted loudly: "Shield cover, archer, shoot me a wrestler, and the others don't move." ”
Immediately someone stood up with a shield and blocked the way.
As soon as the shield was erected, countless crossbow arrows roared, nailed to the shield fiercely, pierced the shield, stabbed the arm holding the shield, and the pain was so painful that he had to crouch down.
Seeing this scene, Zhega shouted: "The three shields are stacked and bundled together. ”
Everyone hurried to find the rope, and when there was no rope, they took off their clothes, and tore them into strips of cloth, and the shields on top of each other were stacked on top of each other, and they were quickly tied, and those who had the courage and courage took them up and got up. Eagles
"Aggressive!"
The crossbow bolts flew by, nailed to the shield and buzzed, penetrating two percent, the third layer was fine, everyone was overjoyed, and they picked up the bundled shields and erected them, and the archers took the opportunity to get up, and with the help of the shield cover, they saw the wrestlers under the city who were hitting the city gate, and quickly pulled their bows and shot arrows.
"Woohoo!"
One by one, the feathered arrows roared away, hitting the wrestlers accurately.
In an instant, several wrestlers fell, and the thick wood crashed out of control and fell to the ground.
Many wrestlers were pulled by the collision and fell to the ground, causing a mess.
More feathered arrows pounced away, fierce and indifferent. Eagles
After only a while, the wrestlers lost most of their losses, and the rest of the legs were scattered, but where was the fast feather arrow? They fell down one after another, unwilling to die.
Seeing that the wrestlers were killed, and the city gate was temporarily protected, Zhega was overjoyed and roared angrily: "Brothers, do a good job, just fight like this, now hide it for Ben General, don't show your head." ”
"Hahaha!"
The crowd burst into laughter and morale.
The imperial army was unwilling, and arranged for the soldiers to escort another group of wrestlers up with shields, this time, there were a lot of people with shields, two or three people protected one, and the cover was very tight, and there was a tendency to not give up until the goal was reached.
The old trick is repeated here, the average archer may not be able to shoot, but the arrangers are all archers, the archery skills are superb, and the slightest gap can hit, dozens of people carry the bumping wood to hit the city gate together, constantly moving back and forth, how can there be no gap?
What's more, the average wrestler is tall, and the shield is difficult to protect the whole body. Eagles
After a single shot, Lux fell nearly half of it again, and the rest of the people couldn't even lift it up to hit the wood, and they couldn't break the door.
"Bang Bang!"
A hurried gong sounded, and the wrestler threw off the crash wood and quickly retreated under the cover of his shield.
"Hahaha!"
"Withdraw, they withdraw!"
"We won!"
The soldiers cheered and waved the weapons in their hands, and their morale was like a rainbow. Eagles
Zhega frowned, staring at the 10,000 crossbowmen who slowly retreated, his mind was heavy, the imperial army came from afar, it was impossible to give up like this, and greater difficulties were still to come.
However, when he thought of the continuous attack just now, the imperial army shot at least more than 100,000 crossbow arrows, all of which fell in the city, and shouted: "Someone! ”
A general hurried over.
"Take people to collect crossbow arrows, hand them over to logistics, let the blacksmiths melt them, make them into feather arrows, move quickly, and the manpower is not enough to recruit the young and strong people and blacksmiths in the city, and give wages, we can't insult the name of the Han king's benevolence and righteousness."
"Obey!" The other party solemnly replied and hurried away.
As long as there are enough feather arrows, Zhega is sure to hold on for a few more days, and the messenger in charge of communication is instructed: "Send a message to General Xu and the King of Han, saying that the imperial court of 50,000 troops is coming to attack, and the general will swear to live and die with the city." ”
"Obey!" The other party hurriedly went. Eagles
Not long after, several carrier pigeons flew out of the city and into the distance.
……
Almost at the same time.
The imperial army, under the banner of the handsome word.
A middle-aged general stared gloomily ahead, and there were more than a dozen generals gathered next to him, all of whom had very ugly faces, in the same way, everyone was caught off guard by Qinzhou and successfully won, but they didn't expect Jincheng County to be ineffective.
A general hugged his fists and said: "General, the enemy's archery skills are better than the defenders of Qinzhou, our side has suffered a dark loss, it is better to attack again at night, you can follow the example of Qinzhou in the first battle, do not shoot torches, the enemy army does not see the truth, and our side has a greater chance." ”
Qinzhou, that is, the third watch suddenly attacked and took it in the middle of the night. Eagles
It is also a crossbow cover, not giving anyone on the city wall a chance to show their heads, at the same time, crossbow arrows flying into the city can also create panic, chaos, and even hit a lot of people, and after the city gate crashes open, the cavalry enters the city to rush and kill, and it is also a loss that Xu Shiji is there, and don't want to run away if you change a personal leader.
But now it's daytime, and it is clear that Zhiga has received a military report again, knowing the siege methods of the imperial army, and does not let people show their heads to counterattack, only targeting the wrestlers, hitting the weakness of the siege plan.
The general said coldly: "During the insurance period, build a ladder, and fight again at night, and the ladder will be handed over to you." ”
"Obey!" Just now, the general solemnly clenched his fists and responded.
"Everyone!"
The general said and looked at everyone, his eyes were cold and gloomy: "Taking Jincheng County and blocking Longyou Dao is the task personally assigned by the saint, and it is very important. ”
"Obey!" Eagles
Everyone looked stunned and responded violently.
