Chapter 56: Runing (2)

"The thieves under the city can know that my city is strong, the armament and grain and grass are sufficient, and there is also the king of Chong sitting in the city, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, everyone is still fighting, and they are unstoppable.

How can you capture our city when you are far away, exhausted, with backward armaments, less food and grass, and thousands of people? ”

The officer standing on the top of the city, after a few words of analysis, said:

"If you are weak and difficult to attack, our army will win the battle, but the Lord Zuo Du has the people in the city in his heart, is sympathetic to the soldiers, and is willing to kill lightly.

Therefore, if you are willing to put down the butcher's knife and surrender to me, then the food and armaments will be endless, and the Lord Zuo Governor will also ask the general army to collect you and others.

Just like Huang Long and Zhang Er in the Gao Chuang camp, he has been the deputy general of our army, and the official is the third military attache of the imperial court, which is recorded in the annals of history and has been passed down through the ages. Among them, the interests are self-evident, and the two sides will stop the army, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

It can be seen with the naked eye that there is a huge disparity between the enemy and us, and the new generals in the city, such words, Mingli helped Liukou analyze the current situation, and secretly wanted to shake Yang Kaijun's heart.

Yang Kai stood in the distance and had never heard of it. Han Bin heard it clearly, he couldn't bear this kind of constant gossip, and scolded:

"The dog officer at the head of the city, it is really a basin on the head, the dog is drenched in blood, what tens of thousands of elite soldiers, enough food and grass, it is simply smelly. I don't know the details of your city, how can we cover up in the southwest and attack the east gate of you? When death is on the verge of death, you still have to speak wildly, trying to lure us out of charge? Fools talk about dreams, eat your grandfather's arrows. ”

He only bent his bow and shot at the head of the city, but the cannon had no eyes, and smashed down a battlement on the head of the city, and the roar exploded, and the bricks, rubble, and the archers at the battlement flew together, and the city wall was shaken.

The bearded man standing beside the general was panicked, and in a panic, he grabbed the young general's arm and pressed him down.

The powerful arrow flew, only hit the general's helmet, and flew out, the hairband fell off with the helmet, and the black hair on his head was scattered, and the rebels saw this, and their morale was greatly shocked.

"Into your ancestors' soft feet!" Han Bin scolded with hatred, put away his hard bow, rode his horse forward, and only swung the three bags of sand and gravel on the horse's back into the moat, and then, reined in the horse, raised the bow and pulled out the long arrow, and went straight to the city, shooting five or six in a row, taking the lives of five people.

The prestige of the righteous army was mentioned again, Han Bin took advantage of the situation to make a big fuss, and shouted above the city: "Our army attacked urgently, from Heishuiyu, into Shangzhou Road, broke Shangnan, plundered Nanyang, Runan, Kaifeng, and other officers and soldiers were invincible, and even Zuo Liangyu, the governor of Er, almost wanted to be captured by our master.

In such a lonely city, why should I always win the majestic army of the vanguard? What's more, in the north of Ercheng, my two or three hundred thousand friendly troops struck hard, and Ren Er held on, and it was just a turtle in the urn.

It just so happens that our boss Bill and other left governors are even more merciful, so that those who surrender in the city will not move in their official positions, and as long as the soldiers and the common people in the market are willing to surrender, they will be rewarded and sealed, and if they do not surrender at this time, when will they stay? ”

The cannons roared, the arrows exchanged back and forth, the men and horses on both sides, the moat was separated, and they did not give in to each other, Han Bin discussed and drafted the manuscript in advance, he did not remember it completely, tampered with it and said it nonsense, and also boasted about his own army with all his might, belittling the other party.

The two sides were coerced by arrows and artillery, and took the lead in completing a mouth-to-mouth artillery contest, but the rebel army was outnumbered, and the officers and soldiers were weak, which greatly damaged the morale of the army, and the crisis was even worse.

"The moat has been filled."

On the platform, the tense discussion was always observing the changes in the battle under the city wall, and he turned around and said hurriedly beside Yang Kai.

In the midst of this rumor, Yang Kai's left banner was pressed, and it was time for Cai Qian's generals who held high the red flag to cross the river and attack the city.

He still placed the shield soldiers in front of the army, and rushed to the front of the moat, stepping on the sand and stones to gather into a bridge.

The last batch of gravel was cast, and a road four or five feet wide stretched to the other side of the moat, and the bridge was crossed in a leap.

"Order the remaining army of our department to suspend the march, so that the team of Liang Lao's team can be added to the siege army of Cai Qianhu." Yang Kai only gave an order to his own soldiers, and then turned his flag to the city, and continued to command the archers of Han Bin and Cao Mang, standing a hundred steps away from the city wall, and shooting the head of the city with bows and arrows.

Yin Zuochan, who was looking at the top of the city, had been silent since he left the army, and at this time he also whispered by Yang Kai's side: "Little vanguard, be a heavy drum to hit the city!" ”

The light drum is to advance, and the heavy drum is to hit. Around the platform, the sound of the drum array turned heavier, Yang Kai personally held the drumstick and hit the drum surface, and in the midst of the drumming, Cai Qian held a shield in one hand and waved a knife in the other, even blocking the arrows that fell down, urging the pawns to rush to the city gate, pouring Zi oil, and wanting to repeat Cai Cheng's old skills.

Several barrels of catalpa oil were splashed, more than ten people fell to the ground, the dead did not care, the screaming and struggling people dragged back, blew the bright spot and ignited the fire fold, and threw it into the city gate of the oil, and in a moment, the smoke rolled up.

The sky is gradually brightening, the early sun in the east has been white, and the first step of the siege is finally completed. Above the city, seeing the current ant-attached scene, the young general with the hair pulled the bearded officers and soldiers, and I don't know what to say.

Some of the guards were withdrawn, and they were replaced by short-range firebolts and birds, and the archers were replaced with rockets, and the fire rain streamers were able to pour down, cross fire, and cover the city gates.

In the previous verbal battle, although he didn't take any advantage, he finally knew a news - Liukou attacked the heavy troops in Dongcheng.

At present, Runing Mansion is facing the enemy on all sides, and it is impossible to ask for help, so they can only use their current strength to attack the enemy's leading siege troops, according to the experience of the previous battles in all aspects, as long as they are beaten painfully, they will withdraw their troops, and Beicheng is known as the Liukou with hundreds of thousands of troops.

He should have thought that the same would be true of the army now.

At present, the guards are in decline, one is suppressed by the bearded man who killed several cowardly soldiers, and the other is that they are aroused by the thieves outside the city, and they reluctantly form an army.

Since the city gate can't be held, then he doesn't plan to gnaw at the city gate, and the urn city is their last barrier. The Liukou broke through the city gate and entered the urn city for the first time, which was the time when their morale was at its peak, and it was also the time when they lost the cover of the army outside the city.

Seeing this situation, the general discussed on the stage, stopped copying the handwriting of the meritorious service, frowned slightly, crossed a few steps, came to Yin Zuochan's side, and asked softly: "Mr. Yin, do you know what the officials and soldiers want to do so?" ”

Yin Zuochan, who came to the battlefield for the first time, also saw Yang Kai's deployment for the first time, and his heart shook, "With such a courageous army, even if the guards are overlords alive, they are also stubborn resistance, Mr. Shang, let's see, even if this city is difficult to fight in one battle, but within three wars, our army will break Runing." I will retract the biased remarks made in my previous assessment. ”

"If a word is spoken, like water that has been spilled, is there any reason to take it back?" Discussion was lightly white-eyed, and his heart changed his opinion of him slightly.

Undisguised appreciation, Yang Kai was stunned.

There is a saying that compassion is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not wealth, kindness is not an official, and it is difficult to do things. Since he was in charge of the army, Yang Kaitong has experienced it all over again.

He knew that his military discipline was not strict, and his courage was also piled up by promising heavy rewards before the war, but according to their current situation, and the habit of fighting with the peasant army for a long time and plundering the rich people, it was impossible to build an army with both strict and brave skills overnight.

The two sides in the city and the city fell into a confrontation, Cai Qian's troops were mostly foot soldiers, and the counterattack was weak, relying on the archers led by Han Bin in the distance, and the battle was very hard. It took only a quarter of an hour to burn the city gate, and more than 100 people fell to the ground, but Cai Qian did not retreat, but he did not see those who fled in a cowardly fight.

This situation finally changed after the arrival of the army led by Liang Guangsuo, and the generals who thought about whether they could break the city were inspired by the power of the army behind them, and the panic and fear were all dispersed.

Soon after, after the fire and the bombardment, the city gate finally could not hold on, turned over and fell to the ground, and smashed with a loud bang.

Yang Kai's drumming became heavier and heavier, and became more and more urgent. After the artillery shells of the Yanhou Department were fired, he returned to his life. The generals of the city gate only heard a loud noise, and the gate fell and the city opened, and their eyes lit up.

Heaven and earth were completely brightened, and a hurricane driven by the ocean current in the southeast direction swept the mainland of China, passing through the mountains and rivers, and arrived in Zhongzhou, only raising pieces of branches and leaves, and a birdsong was unpleasant in the vast wilderness.

A drop of dew falls off the end of the leaf and smashes into the ground.
