Chapter 285: Full of helplessness

At the same time, the besieging troops had already rushed to the city wall, and they carried more than forty ladders, which were immediately erected on the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Fang Baifo and the others, whose faces were originally as heavy as water, suddenly showed a joy on their faces. If trebuchets can't do it, then rely on superior forces to take the city. Let's take the head office.

Fang Baifo even ordered to stop the manufacture of trebuchets and make every effort to manufacture the ladder. Since trebuchets are useless, of course they are useful ladders.

They looked at the soldiers who had all gathered under the city wall, and there was a look of anticipation in their eyes, and Song Zhen had even begun to look proud.

As long as the city wall is attacked, the mountain village can be broken. Even without trebuchets, they can still break the mountain village.

But at the moment when he was proud, he saw that on the city wall, there were suddenly bursts of fire.

Bang...... Bang...... Bang! At the moment when a sound like thunder sounded, I saw that the soldiers were holding a weapon with three round pipes and facing the city wall below.

Although the sound was one after another, with each sound, a soldier fell down the ladder with a bloody light.

If the soldiers under the city wall were hit, they would also burst into blood and scream. Not only that, but I saw that the soldiers on the city wall suddenly threw down a thing with a wooden handle and an iron head.

Behind the wooden handle, a puff of smoke rises and the sparkle can be seen. The things landed in the crowd below, and suddenly, with a thud, they exploded.

As long as the people around here were suddenly bombed and screamed. Some died instantly, others had their limbs blown off, howling there.

The 5,000 people who attacked the city, and in just one round, more than 1,000 people died. More than a thousand wounded. The rest are already scared. Turn around and flee back.

How can these people still have fighting spirit, they have completely lost their fighting spirit. There was only fear left in his eyes.

After all, it was the first time they had fought with the Disciple Army, and they had never seen such a terrifying weapon, killing people like invisible. They didn't even touch the side of the army, and they suffered heavy casualties.

Fang Baifo, Song Zhen and the other leaders were all dumbfounded, they looked at the soldiers who had retreated from defeat, and the ambition that they were still full of just now was like being poured a basin of cold water in an instant.

How the hell is this possible! They also thought that their men would attack the city wall and take down the hateful generals on the city wall.

But now, I haven't even touched the side of the army on my side, but I have lost thousands of troops, how can this battle be fought!?

With trebuchets, it doesn't work! Forcibly attacking the city, going up is to deliver food, no matter how many troops there are, it is estimated that the other party will be eating away little by little.

They really want to attack with all their might, but they can't even cross the city wall with all their strength, so they attack with all their might.

If there is no city wall in front of them, it is estimated that they have so many troops that they can advance to the backing village, but now that there is a city wall in front, they can push it horizontally!

A sense of grievance surged from the hearts of Fang Baifo and Song Zhen and other leaders, and they finally understood why Chen Renhui of the Pingle Army was defeated and captured.

As for the 50,000 Pingle army, it is simply wishful thinking to capture the army of children with strange weapons, even if it is their 250,000 army, they can't even break the wall of the army of children, let alone capture the mountain village.

"Collect the troops!" Fang Baifo had a gloomy face and said to the generals.

At this time, it was no longer possible to conduct siege warfare, and he had to find another way, otherwise, if he continued like this, he could only be blocked here.

You can't attack the city, you can't advance, you can't retreat! He still has a yarn!?

In this way, the 150,000-strong army had to think in the long run, with the loss of nearly 2,000 men. They were going to surround the mountain village before making plans.

As for Jiang Chao's side, they don't know how Jiang Chao is doing now.

In the capital, the emperor's face was full of excitement after knowing that the 250,000-strong army was besieging the mountain village. If Jiang Chao can be solved, then everything will be solved.

Even, he wanted to see if he could get Jiang Chao's head. In this way, it is also good to calm the anger of the Khitan army at the border pass.

It's just that before the army is defeated, he doesn't dare to move the river tide. He could only wait, wait for the final results of the 250,000-strong army.

On the Khitan army's side, except for the shouting, there was no substantive action. It's not that they don't want to, it's that they don't dare to do it for the time being.

After all, their purpose was to kill Jiang Chao first. When Jiang Chao is dead, it is not too late to attack. If you invade the land of Da Zhao again at this time.

In case the emperor asked Jiang Chao to fight against their Khitan army, who knows if the Khitan army would be able to resist the army.

The Khitan Emperor had this heart, but he could only wait for the opportunity first.

Who let Jiang Chao's army not only destroy their hundreds of thousands of troops, but also killed the Khitan army god Yelu Guangming.

On the other side, Jiang Chao returned to the boundary of Ningzhou Mansion with oil and crude oil, and further on was the location of Anqing County. But he did not go to Anqing County, but drove his troops in the direction of Qianzhou Prefecture.

Intelligence shows that 50,000 troops are lying in ambush at the Hangu Pass, waiting for the Zhoufu army to come and send them to death.

After Jiang Chao learned the news, he had already asked the intelligence officers to inform Murong Palace. Although the Zhoufu army came, it did not pass the test. Instead, wait outside the customs.

They are waiting for the river tide. Jiang Chao's purpose was to destroy these 50,000 troops first, and then add troops to destroy the 50,000 troops in Anqing County. In the end, it was the 150,000 rebels from all walks of life in the mountain village.

And Jiang Chao wants to completely annihilate these enemy forces, he must be able to solve the battle in two places as quickly as possible, and not let the enemy besieging the mountain village react.

He wanted to make the enemy besieging the mountain village think that there were 100,000 troops behind him and that he was absolutely reliable. At that time, if he attacked again, he would definitely be able to have an unexpected effect.

At that time, the 30,000 people of the Zhoufu army, plus the 20,000 people on his side, almost 50,000 people, can definitely annihilate the army of more than 100,000 here.

The Zhoufu army originally had only 30,000 people, but after the siege of Zhoufu, Jiang Chao asked Murong Palace to recruit another 20,000 people.

The current Zhoufu army is 50,000 people, and although the training method of the Zhoufu army is not completely copied from the children's army, it is also carried out according to most of the patterns.

The combat effectiveness of the Zhoufu Army is definitely not weak now. Even if it's not as good as the children's army. I'm afraid it's not much worse now.

In this way, Jiang Chao asked his subordinates to put most of the oil in a hidden place, and the 20,000 children rushed to Hangu Pass at a very fast marching speed.

Jiang Chao also informed Murong Palace, ready to respond to him at any time. Wait until they have eliminated the enemy in Hangu Pass, and then annihilate the enemy in Anqing County with a very fast marching speed.

Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe.
