Chapter 316: Red Face and Disaster Water 19
The premonition of the leader of the rebel army in Xishan Province was right.
When he entered Dongshan Mansion, there were people patrolling the border of Dongshan Mansion who asked him not to enter, and after he didn't listen, he left, and didn't have a hard time with them, at that time he also despised the other party, feeling that the other party was scared, and did not dare to fight him, now it seems that people have been prepared.
From the border of Dongshan Mansion that he entered, to the city of Dongshan Prefecture, it is about a hundred kilometers, not to mention that every kilometer will encounter harassment, but every two kilometers, there will definitely be a harassment, and these people who harass them have lost their temper.
Originally, they still wanted to walk along the road to rob and get something, but now they are harassed by these people, and they don't dare to stay, they just want to hurry up to the location and fight to the death with the people of Dongshan Mansion.
In this way, the casualties have been casualties, and before they reached the Dongshan Mansion City, they had already suffered hundreds of casualties.
Before the fight, hundreds of people were killed and wounded, and then the morale dropped greatly, especially the wailing of those wounded really affected morale, causing the leader of this team to let those wounded stay behind and not go with them, so as not to affect morale too much.
Without the screams of the wounded, the morale of the team was much better.
Because it was almost there, the leader of the rebel army cheered everyone up and said: "Dongshan Mansion is a small mansion, unlike those famous cities, the city walls are thick, there is no moat, and the city gate is not so thick, let's just use the wood to knock them open, and when we get in, we can fight, can we still be afraid of them?" It's just that they can't get in, so many of us have been surrounding them outside, after a long time, there is no food, they will starve to death, what are you afraid of? ”
Because there are many of them, if they are outside, he is not like the bandit army in Dongshan Mansion before who is afraid of being harassed by the people sent by Linlang, anyway, there are many people, and the impact of harassment is limited.
Besides, the view in front of the city gate was wide, and it was impossible for the people of Dongshan Mansion to harass them with bows and arrows like before, because as soon as they appeared, they found out.
If it weren't for the previous road, unlike the north, which was an endless plain, and no matter how flat it was, there were woods on both sides, otherwise, if it was an endless plain like the north, they could see at a glance whether there were people in the distance, and they would not be afraid of being attacked at all.
As for food, although they only brought dry food for three days, they are not afraid, there are so many of them, who dares not to give food on the spot near Dongshan Mansion?
Speaking of which, he felt strange, why did the rebel army before Dongshan Mansion leave without besieging Dongshan Mansion, isn't this stupid?
Regarding this, because those rebels had already run away, these rebels in Xishan Mansion didn't know the reason.
However, I inquired that the female leader of Dongshan Mansion was particularly beautiful, which caused the leader of Xishan Mansion to itch and want to see how beautiful it was, in fact, this was also one of the reasons why he attacked Dongshan Mansion.
As a result, the leader of the rebel army in Xishan Mansion came to the city of Dongshan Mansion with people, and immediately asked people to call the spies over, and gave him a big horse whip.
"Didn't you say that the walls of Dongshan Mansion are very primitive and there is no moat? What is it? ”
Looking at the sparkling moat, the spy was also dumbfounded, and said, "When I came here ten days ago, it was still flat here, and some strange houses were built in front of me, and there was nothing else. ”
He had limited knowledge and didn't know what the strange houses that the other party had built in front of the city walls were.
But those who understand it will know that there are things like arrow towers and urn cities, all of which are used to block the enemy's entry.
In this era without explosives, Linlang used the construction method when the city wall was strongest in later generations, and it was difficult for ordinary people to break through it - at least these people in Xishan Mansion couldn't break it, because they didn't have explosives, and the siege tools were limited.
But the leader of the rebel army in Xishan Mansion has never been to a big city, and he has little knowledge, and he also can't recognize the things that Linlang built in front of the city wall, but it doesn't matter, let's cross the moat first.
There was also a horse rejection pile in front of the moat, and the leader of the rebel army asked people to go over and tear it down, so as not to block it and make it inconvenient for everyone to cross the river.
As a result, when I arrived at the place where the horse was rejected, and I was about to get rid of those horse stakes, I found that the upper floor in front of the moat shot arrows, and it was not easy for me to move the horse stakes.
The leader of the rebel army in Xishan Province didn't want his people to die, so he planned to send people to find the people around the city and let the people dismantle these things.
- This is also the trick that most of the siegers will use, using the lives of ordinary people to fill the moat.
But Linlang will let them get their wish, long ago, let the surrounding people move into the city as much as possible.
If you don't want to move, let them quickly dig a tunnel and hide in the tunnel.
As for those who are farther away, it will be better, and when they come, they can hide in the tunnel; Second, they scattered to arrest the common people in various places, and the patrols in the city could continue to harass them, and they could send more people to harass them, after all, they were scattered, and they were suitable for siege.
Or do you scatter the people and get together...... If you only look for ordinary people in one direction, how much you can find is of limited use to them.
Moreover, when they get together, it is more convenient for Linlang to send people to harass them with bows and arrows.
So, the leader of the rebel army in Xishan Mansion soon found that they went around to look for the common people, but they couldn't find it.
In fact, when they came before, they found that there were no ordinary people around, but at that time, they only thought that the common people were hiding at home, but when they looked at it again, it didn't look like they were hiding at home, but completely disappeared.
He hadn't thought that people were hiding in the tunnel, but he thought that he was brought to the city by Linlang, so there was no one outside the city.
So after walking about ten miles away, and still couldn't find anyone, I thought there was no one here, so I didn't continue to search, of course, the main thing was that there were people constantly harassing along the way, resulting in casualties, and the leader of the rebel army in Xishan Mansion was really fed up with these, so he didn't want to continue looking outside.
But when you come back and look at this city, you need to move your own people to reject horses and fill in the moat, which is difficult, after all, someone shoots arrows as soon as you get close, isn't it troublesome?
Not only did he feel troublesome, but some of his subordinates also felt troublesome, discussed with him, and said, "Why don't you go back first, get some siege equipment, and then fight." ”
The leader of the rebel army in Xishan Mansion also felt that he needed this, otherwise, the other party would make the city so powerful, and there were no ordinary people around, he would not be able to attack it in three days, and he couldn't even find food around, how could he fight?
It seems that next time we will bring food, and also, we will bring siege equipment.
He thought about it, and when he arrived, he would recruit the people from the West Mountain to transport grain, and when he arrived at the place, he would let these people be cannon fodder to help move the horse piles and fill the moat.
So at that moment, the leader of the rebel army in Xishan Mansion listened to the advice of several brothers and prepared to retreat.
