On September 11, the tribal coalition launched a general attack on Lucheng.

Liu Xikun inexplicably felt that today was a good day, and he was bound to win Lucheng, so he unreservedly bet all his troops.

The main attack was in the east of the city, with more than 9,000 troops invested, and more than 3,000 people in the south and north of the city were also invested to contain and disperse the defenders.

In the west of the city, more than 20 pirate ships, large and small, also docked and sent more than 1,000 people to feint and harass.

In addition, nearly 10,000 people of the Moli and Taya tribes were used as a reserve to cope with the changes in the situation of the war.

The war drums beat and the four directions attacked the city wall at the same time, like a monstrous wave surging towards the isolated island, and the momentum was extremely huge.

There was no formation or order, and the more than 9,000 tribal armies in the east flew like locusts to the city walls.

Although most of them were holding wooden shields, few of them held the wooden shields in front of them seriously, anyway, it was said that the Song army did not have many arrows, and today's task was to rush over and destroy the city wall, and the only role of the wooden shield in their hands may be to use it as firewood.

When rushing into the sixty zhang, the tribal army was still a little nervous, judging from the experience of the previous days, when it reached this distance, the Song army would use strange tools to throw stones and shoot 'javelins'.

Maybe this won't kill many people, but if you are unlucky enough to be hit, you will either be smashed into meat sauce, or skewered into meat skewers, the tragic situation is still very terrifying, only missing arms and legs can be regarded as the blessing of the ancestral spirit.

Strangely, the city was still quiet today, as if it was frightened by the momentum of its own side.

Seeing this, the morale of the tribal army became more and more high, and they cried wolf howls at the ghosts of the city as they ran, just as they used it to intimidate and drive away the deer during the hunt, in an attempt to intimidate the defenders.

It wasn't until they had successfully approached forty zhang that a dense stream of crossbows suddenly flew out of the city, forming a dark cloud in the air, and then rushing into the surging crowd of the tribal army like a torrential rain.

At least four or five hundred people were hit, and the screams of misery continued.

Then, more than thirty crossbow guns roared, ploughing straight ravines one after another, and a dozen stone balls the size of a human head drew graceful arcs, falling from the sky, scribbling the bloody flesh in the crowd with scribbled strokes.

Then a large field of crossbow bolts poured down like ink, embellishing the scroll with fine blood flowers.

In just this round, the tribal army paid thousands of casualties, and the surging crowd came to a standstill, and began to panic.

This scene stunned everyone watching the battle on the stage, and Liu Xikun was even more furious.

"Why? Why!? Why did the Song army still have such a strong attack ability? ”

Liu Jianming said leisurely, "As I said below, the Song army is not a fool, most of them will have reservations, and they will use it at a critical moment, and it is not difficult to guess that we will attack from the east, the stone artillery bed crossbow can be loaded in advance, and then the two thousand divine arm crossbows can be wound up and fired in two salvos, so there is this effect." ”

Cai Qicang opened his mung bean eyes, and his face showed hesitation, "The casualties are so big, I'm afraid I can't resist a few rounds, why don't you withdraw first?" How many days will you continue to consume? ”

"Ridiculous! How can there be immortals in war? ”

Liu Jianming unceremoniously refuted Cai Qicang, and gave Liu Xikun a vague look, "Leading the army to fight is the most taboo to change the order of the day, since the general attack order has been issued, then there is no turning back from the bow, and it must be resolutely implemented to the end!" ”

When Liu Xikun saw Liu Jianming's eyes, he immediately thought of his previous suggestion to take the opportunity to kill and injure the natives.

And Liu Jianming continued, "What's more, no matter how much the Song army retains its strength, it is limited, and it is only after careful consideration that we hold back such a hand, if we are frightened, won't we be in their hands?" ”

"Or Mr. has seen the matter far-reaching, I think the Song army may be able to bluff like this, and when the crossbow bolts were fired in a volley just now, there were obviously a lot of unevenness, probably just a return to the light, you see, after so long, there is no follow-up salvo, so we should continue to attack."

Liu Xikun calmed down at this time, and after carefully analyzing the war situation, he agreed with Liu Jianming's point of view.

"But... Brother Liushi, you see that those natives are so frightened that they don't dare to move forward, how can they continue to attack? Cai Qicang pointed to the tribal army that had almost stopped on the battlefield.

Liu Xikun frowned, and then turned his head affectionately to look at Hatoya beside him, "My chicken, do you have a way to boost morale?" ”

Hatoya has been served very comfortably by Liuxikun these days, and it is when the love affair is hot, how can he bear to refuse Ailang's request.

Soon, the costumed Hatoya stood on a wooden platform, carried towards the battlefield by more than thirty strong local men, followed by a band of blowing and beating.

Seeing Hatoya approaching, the tribal army suddenly came and screamed, as if they had lost their fear of death.

At this time, the big drum on the platform became louder and louder, and became more and more urgent, urging the clan army to re-start the pace of charging.

The head of the city continued to fire crossbow bolts at the approaching tribal army, but it seemed much sparse and scattered, which also accelerated the morale of the tribal army, and it was about to rush to the moat.

The stone cannon, which had been silent for a long time, finally activated again, throwing an object two or three times larger than the previous stone ball, but it immediately shattered when it landed, sputtering sharp shards and viscous liquid.

The natives who were injured by the splinters screamed, but the natives who were stained with the liquid did not realize the danger.

The next moment, the city pushed out a number of square cabinets, and from a distance it could be seen that there seemed to be dense lattices on them.

"A swarm of bees!?"

As Ryu-kun screamed, the cabinets burst into flames, and thousands of rockets erupted with a sharp whistling, dragging white smoke through the air to wrizzle a strange trick and pounce on the place where the stone cannon had shot before.

This is a traditional rocket in the Song army, that is, an ordinary arrow with a gunpowder cartridge responsible for propulsion, using a sharp arrow to create damage, and can also be used as a fire attack.

After falling, it did not explode, but it struck at least a thousand natives, and even ignited the fire oil, forming a sea of fire in front of the moat.

Thousands of natives were writhing in the sea of fire, scurrying around like headless flies with flames, and the natives outside the fire were frightened by the terrible scene and fled.

It wasn't until he ran out of the city wall more than 100 zhang away that he was stopped by Hatoya and a group of tribal leaders, and at a cursory glance, less than 5,000 of the more than 9,000 people remained.

Liu Xikun angrily grabbed Liu Jianming's shirt, "Why don't you say that Song Jun has a swarm of bees!?" Don't tell me you don't know! ”

Liu Jianming looked innocent and said with a wry smile, "Most of the materials stored in the warehouse are recorded, but the army also has a special warehouse, which is not subject to the jurisdiction of the warehouse, and the main book of the party did not know before, let alone the next......

Seeing that Liu Xikun was skeptical, Liu Jianming said again, "Actually, Lang Jun doesn't have to be too excited, this swarm of bees wants to reload it can take a long time for a special craftsman to do it, that is to say, it will be scrapped after one use, and although the current loss is a little bigger, the remaining number of people is completely enough to take Lucheng, isn't this the best of both worlds?" ”

"The natives are scared, how can they take Lucheng?!" Liu Xikun seemed to believe Liu Jianming's statement, but his expression was still annoyed.

"It's not that hard." Liu Jianming looked confident.

For Liu Xikun, the most important thing is to take Lucheng, if it does not affect this goal, the more local casualties the better.

So he immediately let go of his hand, and smoothed Liu Jianming's shirt with an apologetic face, "A momentary gaffe, abrupt sir, I hope Mr. is not strange, I don't know how to capture Lucheng next?" ”

Liu Jianming smiled magnanimously and cleared his throat, "These natives are frightened, it is really not suitable to serve as the main attack task, simply change them to the north and south, and then gather the more than 6,000 people, and then transfer 800 people from the west of the city to be the vanguard, and then let your Lang Jun's subordinates go to the battle, and supervise the battle with those tribal leaders, in my opinion, the means that the Song army can use are exhausted, and at this moment, while the iron is hot, it will definitely be able to destroy the city wall, even if the Song army is still stubborn after the city is broken, isn't there still the Moli and Taya tribes, You can't let them watch the show all the time. ”

Liu Xikun pondered for a long time, and then gritted his teeth, "Okay, it's up to Mr. 's policy, but I have to convince Hatoya ...... first."

Liu Jianming followed Liu Xikun's gaze and turned his head to look, and saw Hatoya running back with a black face, obviously angry at the heavy losses of the tribal army.

Liu Xikun took the initiative to greet him, first blaming himself, and even slapped himself twice, until Hatoya couldn't bear and felt distressed in his eyes, he was careless and gently soothed, and he didn't know what he promised, Hatoya gradually turned his anger into joy, and hugged Liu Xikun and kissed him fiercely, and then turned around to discuss with those tribal leaders.

Although the attack plan was reformulated, the flames in the east of the city were still raging, so there was no way to attack again in the morning.

After some adjustments, by the afternoon, more than 7,000 siege troops appeared in the east of the city again.

It is said that the pirates are the vanguard, but standing in the front row are still a thousand natives with wooden shields.

The pirates, on the other hand, wore simple leather armor, held small shields, and held large swords and strong bows, and were obviously much more elite.

With their joining, and not directly witnessing the tragic situation in the morning, the morale of the natives was not bad, and Hatoya was dancing hard behind them, and her precious white bird was released again, standing on the elevated shelf repeating the native language.

"Big win! Victory! ……”

Liuxikun himself beat the drums, and the troops began to charge towards the city wall.

Sixty zhang, the head of the city is not moving, fifty, forty, thirty...... There has been no movement.

Song Jun really ran out of donkey skills!

Liu Xikun's spirit was shocked, and he even took out the strength to eat milk and beat the drum.

It wasn't until the besieging troops smelled the aroma of barbecue and stepped on the charred ashes to reach the moat that a salvo was fired from the city, but it was only three or four hundred crossbow arrows, and only a few dozen people were killed or wounded.

The pirates returned fire with their bows, and although the Song army had armor, more than a dozen of them were shot in the face and planted from the city, and the Song army never formed any powerful blows after that.

So many natives rushed through the moat along the filled passage, and many natives carried moats made of bamboo to build on the moat.

In a short time, two or three thousand natives reached the city walls and began to knock out the mud layer outside the walls and accumulate combustibles, while the pirates kept suppressing the city.

In the process, the Song army in the city fought back desperately, and also killed and injured nearly 1,000 natives, but it seemed to be to no avail, the natives piled up enough wood and grease under the city wall and set it on fire, and then slowly retreated.

The flames rose into the sky, and it didn't take long for the wooden walls to ignite, and in two or three minutes at most, this section of the wall would be completely burned down!
