Chapter 1086: Night Attack
Although the gunpowder crossbow bolts were not small, they were far inferior in number to artillery, and their power was much worse, which made the defenders of the city breathe a sigh of relief, as long as it was not as indiscriminate as the bombardment just now, they could cope with it.
"Bow and crossbow momentum!"
Wang Yu watched as the enemy got closer and closer, and waved his hand to signal the crossbowmen to prepare.
"Shoot!"
With a loud roar, bows and crossbows rained down the city.
The defenders of the city should have fought with great ease due to the terrain, but the constant explosion of gunpowder crossbows prevented the defenders of the city from concentrating on the battle.
"These people are not ready to attack!"
Yang Keshi finally saw the enemy's intentions, the enemy just didn't want them to rest, didn't want them to repair the fortifications, and those ladders and rushing cars didn't mean to step forward at all.
"I should have thought of it a long time ago, Sun Lei is not the kind of person who can fight bloody battles at all!"
Wang Huan sighed and said, now that they are being led by the nose by the enemy, they have to become tired soldiers if they continue to fight like this.
The shouts under the city continued, which made the defenders of the city dare not be careless, and could only concentrate on defense.
From morning to now, the defenders of the city did not dare to relax for a moment, and the physical strength and energy consumption under this kind of preoccupation was huge.
The siege continued until sunset, the Qi army retreated, and the artillery stepped forward again.
Seeing the rows of swarthy cannon muzzles again, the faces of the defenders of the city finally showed a look of despair.
"After the artillery hits the infantry, after the infantry rushes the artillery bombardment, just like that!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
The bombardment continued until dark, when the Qi army retreated, and soon the smoke curled and the smell of food filled the air.
The Song army, who had been guarding Zhen Cheng for a day, was screaming in his stomach, they were now hungry and tired, and they just wanted to eat something and fall asleep.
"Quick, let the reserves come up! Shift! ”
Seeing the appearance of the soldiers, Wang Yu immediately ordered that the soldiers must be fed and rested now, so as to ensure that they have enough combat strength tomorrow.
"Damn, these thieves don't want to attack the city at all, how can Zhen Cheng stop it if they fight like this?"
Liu Guangshi gritted his teeth and said, he waited for a day and the enemy didn't really build a ladder to attack the city, and he couldn't actually kill or injure the enemy if he didn't build a ladder to attack the city.
"I'll take people to attack the camp tonight!"
Yang Keshi looked at everyone and said.
"Raiding the camp?"
Wang Yu frowned.
"Sun Lei is the best at these schemes, will this go out and fall for the scheme?"
Wang Huan said.
"Firelight, firelight!"
The soldiers who had just entered the city pointed out of the city in fear, and at this time, piles of bonfires were lit outside the city, illuminating the entire battlefield.
"Not good, they will also attack the city at night!"
Wang Yu's face was a little ugly when he looked at the bonfires, which were the prelude to the siege.
The gun was pushed out again, and after an hour of eating, the barrel had cooled down.
In the dark night, the artillery spewed fire snakes again, and there was another fire above Zhen City, and the soldiers of the new Shangcheng were so frightened that they immediately hid behind the bunker.
Linpu County.
"Report, General, the enemy has been attacking Zhencheng!"
A soldier reported to Yang Weizhong.
"General Yang, we have to go on like this, Zhencheng can't be stopped!"
Han Shizhong looked at Yang Weizhong and said.
"Send troops and attack the enemy's rear at night!"
Yang Weizhong nodded and said, they didn't go out of the city during the day, they were waiting for a night attack, and their target was the baggage in the enemy's rear.
In the dark night, tens of thousands of troops slaughtered out of Linpu County and headed east.
"Han Shizhong, Wang Yuan, you take 20,000 soldiers and horses to Guhe Town, where the enemy's baggage must be."
Yang Weizhong said to Han Shizhong and Wang Yuan, while he himself took Zhao Ming and Li Ming to lead an army of 20,000 towards Sun Lei's army.
Attacking the enemy's rear can defeat the enemy, but now the top priority is to relieve the siege of Zhencheng, if you don't go, maybe Zhencheng won't be able to hold it tonight.
The two armies are good, and you are about to separate.
"There is an enemy's baggage in Guhe Town, and the enemy must be heavily guarded, right?"
Wang Yuan looked at Han Shizhong and asked.
"It should be!"
Han Shizhong shook his head and said, he has never been able to see through Sun Lei, and he has no bottom in his heart when he goes to attack at night this time.
The army advanced slowly, all the way to the outskirts of the town of Guhe.
"No, why are there no guards at all, it's dark in the town!"
Han Shizhong immediately asked the army to stop, the situation in front of him was not right, no matter how arrogant the enemy was, it was impossible to be defenseless, this Guhe Town revealed strangeness.
"It's pitch black, you can't see anything clearly!"
Wang Yuan also frowned, they came to attack at night, they didn't dare to light torches, they completely relied on a little thin moonlight to move forward in the dark, but now Guhe Town is also pitch black, if it weren't for the Guhe River reflecting the moonlight, they might not be able to find the location of Guhe Town.
"General, do you want to fight?"
All the generals looked at Han Shizhong and Wang Yuan.
"Let's fight!"
Wang Yuan looked at Han Shizhong, he has come here, how can he go back to pay if he doesn't fight?
"Don't fight, there's a problem, withdraw!"
Han Shizhong shook his head firmly in denial, and the taboo of fighting with Sun Lei was that the situation was unknown.
"Withdraw? Where to retreat? ”
Wang Yuan looked at Han Shizhong in confusion, their mission was to attack Guhe Town.
"Go to the enemy's rear, there must be an ambush in Guhe Town!"
Han Shizhong said.
Yang Weizhong also led the army to the rear of the Qi army.
"General, the enemy is still attacking the city!"
Li Ming pointed to Zhen Cheng in the distance, they had also heard the scouts say that the enemy was attacking the city very fiercely, but they knew with their own eyes that the enemy was attacking the city, where is this siege, this is to raze the city to the ground.
"Can Zhen Cheng really hold it?"
Zhao Ming couldn't hide the worry on his face, at this time, if he really didn't know what to do in the city.
"Kill!"
Yang Weizhong did not hesitate at all, and immediately led his troops to start charging and killing, he must let the enemy be confused, and he could not let the enemy continue to attack the city like this.
"Ignition!"
In the dark night, a war drum sounded, and several fire dragons on the ground suddenly ignited, rushing straight towards the enemy.
"Kill!"
Lu Zhishen, Wang Jin, Wu Song, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Zou Yuan, Zou Run and others led a large army to kill the enemy along the fire dragon.
"Meet the enemy!"
Yang Weizhong saw that the enemy had already prepared, although he was uneasy, he still led his troops to kill him, and he had to make the enemy stop attacking the city.
The two armies rushed together, and the army of Qi State, which had been prepared for a long time, directly blocked Yang Weizhong's army.
"Kang Jiong, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Lu Zhishen laughed and looked at Yang Weizhong, Yang Weizhong's original name was Kang Jiong, Kang Jiong is the grandson of Kang Bao's descendants, Kang Bao's descendants were captured, Kang Jiong fled back to the Great Song Dynasty and changed his name to Yang Weizhong, joined the Western Army in his early years, recovered the northwest territory, established Pingxia City, and shocked the northwest, which is also famous.
"Ruda, you traitor!"
When Yang Weizhong saw Lu Zhishen, his teeth were about to be crushed, he hated traitors the most.
Yang Weizhong waved the big knife in his hand and killed Lu Zhishen directly, and Lu Zhishen waved the water mill Zen staff to meet him.
Yang Weizhong's martial arts are not bad, and it was difficult to distinguish Lu Zhishen for a while.
Above Zhen City, the defenders also saw the battle in the distance, and their morale was greatly boosted when they saw reinforcements coming.
Yang Keshi immediately wanted to lead his troops out of the city, but the Qi army on the front had no intention of stopping, and the artillery continued to bombard indiscriminately, so that the defenders in the city could not raise their heads and were unable to get out of the city.
