Chapter 925: Lu Chenghe's response
"Knock knock!" Boom
The drums of war roared and shook the wilderness.
A murderous aura suddenly erupted and soared into the sky.
Lu Chengqing looked at the cavalry roaring away, his eyes lit up, and he was excited.
"Oh no, what's that?"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Lu Chengqing's eyes crossed the cavalry, crossed the siege troops, and saw war horses emerging out of thin air in the distance, countless soldiers turned over their horses, rushed up, and was immediately shocked - how could there be cavalry?
"Not good, it's cavalry." Boom
"It's a trap, the enemy cavalry has already laid an ambush."
"That's right, the horses and people are lying in the low-lying place, covered with grass, so they can't be seen."
Exclamations rang out, accompanied by panic.
Lu Chengqing also reacted, the opponent's cavalry and men and horses hid in a low-lying place, lying on the ground, covered with grass, and were waiting for their banner soldiers to rush out of the city to die, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, Mingjin collects the troops." ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
A series of sharp, piercing voices rang out, hurried like rain.
The cavalry who rushed out did not know why, but the military order was like a mountain, and they did not dare to disobey. Boom
It will definitely not work to turn around directly, there will be a rear-end collision, and you can only go back in a different direction, and the leading general did not hesitate at all, and led the army to rush to the side.
In this way, it is equivalent to exposing the flanks.
"Shoot arrows, shoot arrows quickly!" The commander of the siege force shouted.
For a moment, the arrows swept up like a raging storm.
Countless people fell from their horses and fell, countless horses were injured by arrows, and even if they fled back, it would be difficult to fight again, and they were considered useless.
When the cavalry made a turn and rushed towards the city, a large number of cavalry caught up, joined the war group, and shot arrows and chased as they ran.
The troops that had previously attacked also quickly dispersed, and the archers rushed out of the circle and shot arrows one after another. Boom
Attacked from both sides, where could the Qinzhou cavalry withstand it, and they fell off their horses one after another.
By the time they stormed the city, only a few hundred of the 2,000 men remained.
"Quick, shoot arrows, cover them into the city."
Lu Chenghe shouted the order.
The archers on the walls struck out and shot at their pursuers.
The cavalry that caught up stopped and watched countless arrows fall on the ground in front of them, laughing excitedly, while brandishing their weapons to vent their fighting spirit in their hearts, and their morale soared.
Lu Chenghe looked at this scene with anger, his face turned blue with anger, and his palms holding the wall battlements were bruised, and he used his strength hard, and it was not the wall battlements that he grabbed, but the opponent's head, and he couldn't pinch and explode to relieve the hatred in his heart. Boom
Not long after, the cavalry general who went out of the city to fight ran over, his face was gloomy and terrible, he swore to leave, and came back in a gray manner, not to mention the loss of face, how to bear this responsibility, he didn't dare to look at Lu Chengqing at all, and shouted with his head down in shame: "Dashuai, your subordinates should die!" ”
"You're damned."
Lu Chenghe was furious, flew up and kicked the other party over, pulled out his saber and put it across the opponent's neck, and said coldly: "Recklessly, don't give orders, you still have the face to come back." ”
"Handsome?" When the other party heard that this was going to take the blame himself, his face changed greatly.
"Poof!"
The sharp knife cut through the carotid artery in the opponent's neck, and blood splattered.
Two thousand cavalry went out of the city to fight and returned with a heavy defeat, so if such a big responsibility is not thrown to his subordinates, is it possible to carry it himself? Lu Chenghe didn't have this hobby, so he slowly put away his knife and reprimanded: "If you dare to go out of the city to fight without the order of the commander, even if you fight, you have suffered such heavy losses, how can you explain to the brothers who died in battle?" "Huh
"Handsome?"
The other party covered his neck stiffly, his voice was weak, but his eyes were wide, and he wanted to distinguish a few words, but he was unable to speak, his head was crooked, and he couldn't bat himself.
After successfully throwing off the pot, Lu Chenghe looked at the opponent who was shouting outside the city, and he couldn't command the army to go out of the city, and finally suppressed the impulse, and shouted: "Pass on the commander's order, close the city gate, no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight, otherwise it will be decided!" ”
Everyone looked complicated and was silent.
The besieging army outside the city did not retreat this time, but rested in place, and could launch a sneak attack at any time, invisibly putting pressure on the defenders of the city and not daring to relax.
After waiting for a while, Lu Chenghe saw that he was still surrounded but not fighting, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he was helpless, he went back to breakfast, and halfway through eating, there was a shout of killing outside, and he scolded angrily, filled a few mouthfuls, hurried over with the guards, and climbed the city wall again.
The siege troops outside the city once again withdrew from the place of a stone's throw and sat on the ground, very relaxed and arrogant. Boom
Immediately, a general came over and said: "Commander, the archers outside the city suddenly attacked, rushed up and shot an arrow and ran, although the loss of our army is not large, but if it goes on repeatedly, the cumulative casualties will not be small, and what is even more odious is that the soldiers have been nervous for a long time, and their bodies can not bear it." ”
"Do you have a way?" Lu Chenghe asked rhetorically.
The other party hesitated for a moment, but still said: "At present, the enemy outside the city is to use bows and arrows to sneak attack, and will not really attack, it is better to send only a small number of people to keep an eye on it, and the large army will go back to rest, and keep up the spirit just in case." ”
"What if you choose to attack?" Lu Chenghe asked.
The other party also knows the terrible attack, but according to the current defense, it will not be able to hold on for a long time, so he has to bite the bullet and say: "Each city wall sends a thousand people to keep an eye on it, once the opponent is found to be attacking the city, immediately warn, the large army is not a big problem to arrive within a stick of incense, and there is no problem for a thousand people to guard a stick of incense." ”
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with a stick of incense." Lu Chengqing was a little moved, but he didn't dare to bet.
The other party continued to persuade: "The soldiers don't take off their clothes and armor, and the knives don't leave their bodies, the problem shouldn't be big, if you don't rest well, I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to carry it for three days." "Huh
Lu Chenghe didn't answer immediately, he looked at the soldiers around quietly, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was haggard, and he was all holding on, not to mention three days, I am afraid that after two days, I will not be able to swing the knife and draw the bow, how can I fight at that time?
Just thinking about it, a sneak attack was suddenly launched outside the city, a large number of archers rushed up and shot, turned around and ran after shooting, unable to prevent it, and wanted to fight back but couldn't find anyone, so angry and scolded.
"Despicable, shameless!"
Lu Chenghe also scolded a few words, and suddenly thought of a question, his expression was grim, and he asked, "How long is the interval between this sneak attack?" ”
"It seems like half an hour." A general next to him hurriedly said.
"In other words, the interval between sneak attacks has become shorter?" Lu Chenghe asked, seeing the other party nodding, his face became more and more difficult to look at, and he shouted: "Each city wall leaves two thousand people, of which one thousand are shield soldiers, one thousand archers, sword and shield soldiers hold shields to protect archers, and the others go back to the camp to rest, and rotate every hour." ”
"Obey!" The other party clenched his fists and hurriedly went to give the order. Boom
"Hopefully it's okay." Lu Chenghe muttered to himself in a low voice, the frequency of sneak attacks has increased, which means that the soldiers defending the city are becoming more and more nervous, and the consumption of physical strength and energy is increasing, and they can't bear it at all if they don't take turns to rest.
Thinking that he has enough troops in his hands, he can sleep for a few hours on rotation, which is not a big problem.
Each wall has 2,000 people to defend, and even if it attacks, it is not a big problem to block a stick of incense.
After careful deliberation for a while, Lu Chenghe felt that he had no problem with the arrangement, and his heart was a little settled.
"Come on, let's see who can't carry it first."
Lu Chenghe looked out of the city, his eyes a little more confident.
