Chapter 237: Stalemate!
"I suspect our intelligence is wrong!" Lu Sheng questioned, "There are more than 3,000 enemy troops in Yongxing City!" ”
The reason why he said this was because from the first day of the siege, the Great Xia troops had thrown a total of thousands of boulders, and half of the stones around Yongxing City had been used. But even with such a fierce and dense boulder bombardment, its effect was very limited.
The main wall of Yongxing City was not completely destroyed, and the defenders of the Zhou Dynasty were always able to repair it quickly after rounds of bombardment.
Moreover, after the defenders of the Zhou Dynasty initially appreciated the firepower of Great Xia, they became more and more accustomed to such attacks. At first, the defenders suffered a lot of casualties every day, but later, the defenders' battle losses became smaller and smaller.
After besieging the city for five days, the Great Xia army did not achieve much success.
At the same time, Liu Mo also received a handwritten letter from the six princes. The letter proudly states that the city of Hetu has been taken.
What made Liu Mo feel even more incredible was that that night, the scout came to report that Wei Changjun was marching all the way to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
The other two roads have frequent successes, but Liu Mo's Yongxing town has not been able to attack it for a long time.
"It feels weird!" Liu Mo frowned. "What is Yang Yizhi thinking? Exactly how the forces are deployed. Or am I scared? Don't want any other territory? Choose to gather all your forces to defend the Crystal (Capital)?
It doesn't make sense, that's not how the battle is fought. ”
"What's going on with this Yongxing, why is the front-line outpost so hard to attack!"
"Lord Governor, let's attack the city tomorrow!" Zhu Min proposed, "You can't let others look at it." ”
"If we attack, our losses will be very large." Sun Kan said, "The current situation of my Great Xia..."
He wanted to say that if the loss was too great, he would suffer a loss in the internal struggle with Wei Changjun after the war.
Send spies into the city? Come to an inside-out combination? That must be deployed in advance and mixed in before the war.
Now that the army has been besieging the city for several days, the other party is extremely guarded, and there is no such opportunity.
At this moment, Liu Mo suddenly felt that Yang Yizhi's previous methods were not so despicable.
If there is a choice, he also wants to catch a wave of Zhou Dynasty strong men as cannon fodder, launch a tentative attack, and find out the truth and reality.
Maybe it's war, 'Tzu is not in charge!' ’
"Tomorrow, I will personally lead 2,000 elite soldiers to attack the east gate of Yongxing. Brother Zhu, you lead 2,000 troops to attack the south gate. Liu Mo ordered, "Remember, the main thing is to find out the truth and the truth, and you can't kill the red eye." ”
"My lord, you went into battle in person?"
"Yes, there's nothing more motivating than a manager coming into play!"
"It's too dangerous!" Zhu Min said with concern.
"Haha, if you fight alone, Brother Zhu, you will have to take me down for more than twenty rounds." Liu Mo smiled, "There is no master like you in Yongxing City, right?" ”
Indeed, now Liu Mo's martial arts have improved a lot, and he can already fight with Zhu Min back and forth.
"That'll do!" Zhu Min bowed, "The last general will take the order!" ”
"Zhao Da, Sun Kan, the three of you each lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and ambush the soldiers on both sides."
"Ambush on both sides?" The three were puzzled.
"That's right, I suspect that Yang Yizhi is nearby!" Liu Mo told them.
"Your Excellency, you're worried!" Lu Sheng said, "Is that poisonous snake crazy?" Don't want the capital? ”
"Yes, if you lead the troops here, even if you defend Yongxing and the capital falls, won't you want to be the prince of the country?"
Everything is Liu Mo's speculation, and he doesn't really have real evidence, "Needless to say, carry out the order!" ”
~~~
A soldier bears a nest of bears.
An army's combat effectiveness, military appearance, and military discipline are directly related to its generals.
Zhu Min's ability to lead the troops is not weak, coupled with Liu Mo's aura of "God of War", under their leadership, two thousand elite soldiers rushed towards Yongxing City with a rainbow of momentum.
On the city wall, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty guarding the city stared nervously at the approaching Great Xia soldiers. They were armed with spears and shields, and they were clad in heavy armor, and their eyes were determined, as if they wanted to forge an invisible line of defense with faith.
At this time, in the Great Xia army besieging the city, the catapult was reloaded again. Lu Sheng gave an order, and then the Great Xia soldiers pulled up their catapults and aimed a burning boulder at the city wall.
The soldiers defending the city were not surprised, and they looked for cover in an orderly manner.
A moment later, the boulder burst through the air, streaked through a blazing trail, and hit the city walls. The boulder hit the city wall with a deafening bang.
The walls trembled, the masonry splashed, and at that moment, the whole world seemed to tremble.
"Kill!" Liu Mo rushed to the forefront as the coach, and his morale was immediately aroused.
Leaning on the rear to continuously throw boulders, the Great Xia soldiers rushed forward, then climbed the city wall with a ladder, and hit the city gate with siege vehicles.
In order to prevent accidental injury, the catapult began to stop attacking when the siege soldiers began to climb the ladder.
Waiting for the wooden door of the Great Xia Siege Tower to open, Liu Mo held a shield in his left hand, held the "oath" in his right hand, roared angrily, and rushed up.
When the arrow struck, he lowered his sword and raised his shield to block.
Then, Liu Mo lowered his head and half-squatted down. "Right now!"
At the sound of an order, the Great Xia soldiers behind him fiercely threw the flying spears in their hands, and the defenders of the Zhou Dynasty who were not in a hurry on the opposite side fell to the ground.
In an instant, Liu Mo had already rushed into the enemy formation, and the battlefield instantly shrank to a few feet around.
A Zhou Dynasty infantryman poked at his chest with a spear, and with a swing of his long sword, the spear was opened, and the man jumped backwards, intending to try again, but Liu Mo was faster, he turned around, and cut off the opponent's head with a sword.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Liu Mo heard the roar of the wood being hit, and there was no doubt that the battering ram was thrown into battle. Huge hinges creaked like the groans of a dying giant.
"All the team!" He shouted, and the Great Xia soldiers who attacked the city tower quickly gathered.
Ushering in a moment of leisure, Liu Mo poked his head out, looked under the city wall, and his heart suddenly trembled.
I saw that the square in front of the gate of Yongxing City was full of soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty, and the horses were lined up in more than a dozen columns, and a rough count showed that there were at least 10,000 defenders!
"No, Lord Governor, we are too few in number." A Great Xia general shouted.
Liu Mo also knew this, the intelligence was wrong, and the defenders would be longer than imagined.
At the moment of being stunned, I saw a shadow emerge from the shadow of the city wall, this person was wearing smoky gray armor and holding a silver spear, majestic!
I saw that the man waved the silver spear in his hand, and one after another Great Xia soldiers were pierced through the body and fell off the city wall.
This skill, this silver gun!
I'm going to Nima, Yang Yizhi?
How could he appear in Yongxing, not to win me once in the capital, but also to slaughter me?
Take a closer look.
No, not quite right, his armor is gray, not black!
Looks... It's him!
The son of King Guojun who was killed by Liu Mo in Xingluo! King Xiao Yi of Guojun!
Tang Qingfeng is not by my side, if it is Yang Yizhi, I will definitely die without a place to be buried, this may be the only good news.
Can... Little Yongxing, the king of Da Zhou County is stationed here, which is not normal!
"Lord Governor, it's time for us to withdraw!" A Great Xia general reminded again.
Liu Mo turned his head and saw that hundreds of Zhou Dynasty soldiers had poured onto the city wall.
If you don't leave, it's really too late.
"Withdraw!" He had no choice but to order.
So, less than half an hour after attacking the city wall, Liu Mo withdrew with his subordinates.
On the city wall, the defenders of the Zhou Dynasty let out one after another victor-like shouts, which were so piercing!!
