Chapter 417: The war resumes
Li Yunyang kicked the strategist away, stepped on his chest, and said coldly: "Lord Strategist, you are a member of the death squad, if you want to leave now, I can kill you directly in accordance with the rules of the army!"
For a useless guy like a strategist, Li Yunyang felt dirty when he killed him, and the two hundred captains just now reported to Li Yunyang, saying that the strategist had missed several opportunities to inflict the greatest losses on the enemy.
If it hadn't been for their timely order to make up for it, I'm afraid the enemy would have regrouped his ranks and launched a charge towards the general's mansion.
These words came out of the mouths of the two hundred chiefs, and although they were a bit self-defeating, they did illustrate the incompetence of the strategists.
"Master Strategist, I'll give you two choices. ”
Pulling out the long sword on the ground, Li Yunyang let go of his foot, threw the sword at the strategist, and said with a sneer: "The first choice, become a member of the death squad, and now go below to hold on;
"I'll choose the first, I'll choose the first!" The long sword fell on his body, and the strategist who smashed it grinned in pain, but he didn't care so much, and hurriedly made a choice, for fear that if he took a step slower, he would be killed by Li Yunyang.
In any case, it is better to die on the battlefield than to be killed as an assassin or a deserter.
After throwing the strategist to the members of the death squad, Li Yunyang suddenly had a bold idea, and immediately beckoned Wager over, and whispered to him: "You take a small team to gather all the war horses in the General's Mansion together, and then find a set of clothes that the lord usually wears, go quickly!"
"Huh?" Wager was confused by Li Yunyang's order, now their first task is to hold on, and the war horse is obviously only needed when charging, as for the clothes worn by the lord, Wagle doesn't know what to use.
However, Li Yunyang had already established enough prestige in the hearts of the soldiers, and Wager naturally would not question his orders, so he immediately took a team to collect war horses and clothes.
"Knock! knock!"
After the whole enemy army was assembled, and then the war drums were beaten, and the dull sound shook the ground slightly, Li Yunyang observed the movement of the enemy army on the arrow tower, waiting for the best time to counterattack.
At the same time, all the soldiers of the death squad had already drawn their bows and arrows, and the two catapults were also loaded with fire oil bombs, and they could attack only after Li Yunyang's order.
A cold wind blew, and thick dark clouds gathered in the sky, enveloping the moon hanging in mid-air, and the ground instantly darkened.
"Woooooo
"Shoot the arrows!"
Just when the General's Mansion was plunged into darkness, the enemy's horn suddenly sounded, and a large number of shield soldiers carried the siege ladder and rushed towards the General's Mansion with a loud roar.
Li Yunyang also gave the order to release arrows at this moment, and hundreds of burning arrow feathers fell from the sky, and the shield soldiers who were charging in front suddenly fell a large piece.
However, this time, no one retreated, but the fallen companions stimulated their blood and made them rush more bravely.
"Catapult ready!"
Li Yunyang had already expected this to happen, and he didn't panic at all, but commanded the soldiers, lit the incendiary bombs on the catapult with torches, and yelled: "Release!"
Two basin-sized incendiary bombs, with raging flames, smashed into the enemy's army, and suddenly someone couldn't dodge, and was directly hit by the incendiary bombs and burned alive!
The incendiary bomb fell to the ground, and the flames instantly splashed on the other soldiers, one by one, and in an instant, dozens of soldiers were ablaze!
However, this was not the end, after more than a dozen incendiary bombs were thrown into the enemy's large array, another stone filled with fire oil was launched.
Not only the threat of flames, but more than 20 catties of stones fell from the sky, and almost as long as they were hit, they could not escape the fate of being stoned to death.
A farmer shield soldier saw his brother, smashed in two by the burning stones, and the corpse was still smoking, and the blood that was temporarily aroused was finally overcome by fear.
The peasant soldier let out a frightened roar, dropped his weapon and was about to flee when a sharp arrow shot straight from behind him with a whirring sound of breaking wind, piercing his heart.
"Whoever dares to run away again, he is your example!"
The archer commander stared at the peasant soldier who was glaring at him like a wolf, took his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the peasant soldier who still had a breath left, killing him directly.
The peasants, who were almost stuck to their necks with their knives, had to raise their shields and rush forward, and could only pray in their hearts that they would not be hit by stones.
"In the end, they are vulnerable peasant soldiers, and the war is really too cruel for them. ”
Seeing the tragic death of the enemy's peasant soldiers, Li Yunyang sighed, but he did not show any mercy, and still let the soldiers keep shooting arrows and throwing spears, and the catapult never stopped.
It's not that Li Yunyang has reached the realm where his heart is like stone, but that he has never sympathized with his enemies, and since he has taken up arms to fight, he has to pay the corresponding price.
"Boom!"
Driven by the archers, the shield soldiers finally rushed to the side of the siege vehicle that had been discarded earlier, and a group of people used all their strength to push the siege vehicle towards the gate of the general's palace.
"Bang!"
A burning stone fell on the baffle of the siege vehicle, and with a bang, it smashed a spark, but unfortunately the baffle was a thick iron sheet, but it did not cause any damage to the siege vehicle.
With the resistance of the siege vehicle, the enemy's charge speed increased instantly, and at the same time, the enemy's archers also began to release arrows, and the momentum was several times greater than that of Li Yunyang's side.
"Defense!"
Fortunately, Li Yunyang judged accurately and commanded the soldiers to defend in time, but someone still didn't have time to dodge and was shot into a hedgehog by the arrow.
Just a rain of arrows, more than a dozen people died on Li Yunyang's side, although the number was small, but the death squad under him only had more than 300 people.
And these people dare to be bloody good men, Li Yunyang really wants them all to live.
Li Yunyang didn't want anyone to die under the rain of arrows again, so he had to tell the soldiers of the death squad again: "Don't be greedy, our purpose is to drag the other party's attack and cover the lord's withdrawal, not to die in a meaningless battle!"
The enemy army seemed to be fully armed, and after three consecutive waves of arrow rain, there was no sign of stopping, and the soldiers of Li Yunyang's death squad were all pressed and couldn't raise their heads.
Li Yunyang used his sword to block an arrow feather that shot at him, and when he stood in the arrow tower to take a look, he found that the enemy had already rushed to it, and it was less than twenty meters away from the general's mansion.
The gap in numbers is still too big, the other party has more than 3,000 archers, it is difficult for Li Yunyang to organize a counterattack with bows and arrows, his eyes sank, and he jumped directly from the arrow tower.
"Ahh
Li Yunyang roared, hugged a boulder of hundreds of catties on the ground, ran his fighting spirit, and lifted it from the ground, taking advantage of the gap in the rain of arrows, and then retreated step by step.
After retreating more than ten steps, Li Yunyang ran his fighting spirit to the peak, lifted the boulder above his head with both hands, rushed several steps, and then threw the boulder out.
"Boom!"
The huge stone was thrown directly out of the General's Mansion by Li Yunyang, and smashed heavily on the siege vehicle, and with a 'bang', the siege vehicle was instantly smashed into a pile of broken wood, and the soldiers pushing the siege vehicle were smashed into meat sauce alive!
Li Yunyang endured the pain and pulled out two arrows from his shoulders, and when he threw the boulder just now, the enemy threw another round of arrow rain.
Blood poured out of the wound, Li Yunyang gritted his teeth, bandaged it casually, sealed the wound with his fighting spirit, lifted a boulder again, and threw it towards the enemy troops outside the general's mansion.
The continuous screams came from outside the wall, and after Li Yunyang kept throwing the boulders, the screams gradually turned into fear -- these peasant soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time were frightened after all when they saw their comrades die tragically again.
However, the archers of the enemy army were in charge of solving the lives of the deserters with one arrow after another, suppressing the idea of these peasant soldiers to escape.
It's just that he sighed in his heart and said: "Alas, I don't know what the general is doing with the elite battalion, if you let this group of wastes attack the general's mansion, I'm afraid our army will suffer heavy losses!"
Fortunately, there were not only peasant soldiers among the shield soldiers, but also some veterans who had experienced many wars just now, so the pace of the army's charge still did not stop.
"Build a ladder! Lift the wood, hit the door!"
After Li Yunyang threw another pile of boulders, commanded the soldiers of the death squad, and counterattacked two waves of arrows, the enemy finally hit the general's mansion.
With the order of the enemy commander, ladders were erected up to the wall, and several tall soldiers, carrying huge logs removed from the siege engines, roared angrily and slammed towards the gate of the general's palace.
"Boom!"
After only two hits, the door was a bit crumbling, and the dust was constantly shaking off from it, as if it would be knocked down at any moment.
"Torch ready! Ballista wound!"
Li Yunyang placed a crossbow arrow on the ballista, pulled the bowstring of the ballista to the tightest, and aimed at the gate, and several other soldiers were also ready to throw the torch against the wall at any time.
At this time, Wagle returned to the gate with his team, stood next to Li Yunyang with two clothes, and said with some shame: "Your Excellency, Commander, I only found more than fifty war horses......
"That's enough! Now find a team of brothers with good riding skills, divide them into two groups, and be ready to flee to the backyard of the General's Mansion at any time!"
Li Yunyang handed the crossbow arrow in his hand to another soldier, took a piece of Shildken's clothes, put them on his body casually, and continued: "Wagger, you put on another piece of clothing. ”
"Why do you want to escape?" asked Wagle while getting dressed, he thought that Li Yunyang wanted to use these war horses to make a final charge, but now he really couldn't figure out what Li Yunyang was going to do.
The war was imminent, Li Yunyang didn't have time to explain too much, and he didn't care about Wagger's thoughts, he directly ordered in a commanding tone: "You just have to convey the order to them, tell them not only to escape, but also to set the entire general's mansion on fire when they are on the run!"
