Chapter 56: Siege
In the early morning, the genius was bright.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Wusun Kingdom has been overwhelmed by a large army, it is estimated that a general attack will be launched today, and it is time for us to make a move, the Shen family will defend the north gate with everyone present, I hope you will not let the Hidden Killing Pavilion down, and don't let the people in the city down."
Shen Sinian summoned all the killers of the Hidden Killing Pavilion in the hall and said with a serious expression.
"Yes, Deacon! We will defend the north gate! ”
"Defend the North Gate!"
“……”
The crowd shouted in unison.
Su Yun just moved his mouth and thought, "What about PUA here?" ”
The death of the people in the city has little to do with him, and he only hopes that the Hidden Killing Pavilion will not be destroyed, otherwise he will not be able to get the antidote every month.
Immediately, Shen Sinian shouted a few more words to mobilize everyone's emotions, and then took them to meet the Shen family's guards.
Su Yun glanced at everyone, the two parties combined, there were probably more than five hundred people, and nearly three hundred of them were martial artists, and their strength should not be underestimated.
In addition, there are officers and soldiers guarding the city at the north gate, so maybe they can really hold it!
"Come with me to the North Gate!"
"Yes!"
Everyone followed behind Shen Sinian, went to the north gate of Yongze County, and then divided the team into two halves, half stationed on the city gate, and half behind the city gate.
Su Yun and Zhao Jin were both assigned to garrison the city gate.
On the way to the north gate, he noticed that the doors and windows of the rooms on both sides of the street were all closed, and no one was seen, only a few people would open a crack in the door to peek outside.
It's really going to be a war!
Along the stairs, Su Yun walked up to the city gate, through the gap, and looked out of the city, where nearly two thousand officers and soldiers were standing outside the city gate.
Siege engines, crossbowmen, catapults, fully armed.
In the past few days when the officers and soldiers of Wusun State have besieged the city, I am afraid that they are doing these things, and it is estimated that there are officers and soldiers attacking the city at all the city gates, just to break the whole city of Yongze County!
"Old Zhao, you have seen a lot, do you say that the county town can be defended this time?" Su Yun raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.
"There are Wusun officers and soldiers attacking the city at all city gates, I'm afraid they will attack at the same time, if any city gate is broken, I'm afraid the entire county will be captured, as for whether it can be defended, I can't say!" Zhao Jin shook his head.
It was the first time he had seen such a large-scale battle in Yongze County for decades, and the country of Wusun had only been fighting on the border before.
"Hmm!"
Su Yun nodded, looking at the officers and soldiers under the city, all of them were points one after another in his eyes.
As time passed, the sun gradually rose and the roosters in the city let out a rooster crow.
"Giggle......
Outside the city, a general in black armor on a fiery horse came to the army, raised his scimitar, and shouted: "Soldiers! Rush me! ”
"Rush! Kill......"
Boom!
The officers and soldiers in front of them launched a charge with various siege equipment, siege ladders, siege vehicles, and prepared for a strong attack.
In the rear of the Wusun army, there were also several catapults, attacking the city walls and the Qi officers and soldiers on the city walls.
One after another, huge boulders fell from the sky and attacked the city gates or walls, making loud noises!
Kang Hongzhuo, the guard of the north gate, looked serious, stared at the enemy below who was about to attack the city, and shouted loudly: "Crossbowmen prepare!" ”
"Yes!"
As the words fell, dozens of crossbowmen stood on top of the city wall, standing in three rows, and they all drew their bows and prepared to fire.
When the soldiers of Wusun Kingdom walked to the most suitable distance for attacking, Kang Hongzhuo waved his hand and ordered: "Release!" ”
In an instant, the first row of crossbowmen shoots their arrows, then retreats behind the third row, the second row of crossbowmen step forward and release the arrows again, and finally the third row of crossbowmen.
And so on and so forth!
Countless arrows shot from the top of the city wall to the soldiers of the Wusun Kingdom below, as if it was raining arrows from the sky, ruthlessly depriving a large number of soldiers of their lives.
However, some of the soldiers carried shields, and they continued to advance steadily with their shields.
"Defend! Defend! Don't let them get to the gates! Kang Hongzhuo shouted loudly.
"Yes!"
At the sound of an order, everyone on the city wall launched an attack. Lift the prepared rolling stones and rolling logs and throw them at the soldiers of the Wusun Kingdom who are preparing to go up the city wall.
Su Yun also lifted the boulder next to him and threw it heavily at the soldiers of the Wusu Kingdom below, throwing them one by one, smashing their heads like smashed watermelons.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for killing ......, system reward: points +40!] 】
[Ding, congratulations to the host for killing ......, system reward: points +30!] 】
[Ding, congratulations to the host for killing ......]
The pleasant sound of the system is constantly ringing in the ears.
However, both the rolling stone and the rolling wood are limited, and they are all used up in less than a stick of incense. Next, you can only rely on the spear to stab the enemy who climbs up with the siege ladder to death.
But the soldiers of Wusun Kingdom seemed to be not afraid of anger, and climbed to the city wall one after another.
A quarter of an hour later, quite a few enemies rushed to the walls.
Seeing this, Su Yun immediately drew his saber and fought with the enemies who rushed up, most of the soldiers of Wusun Kingdom were wearing rattan armor or soft armor, and it was difficult for a low-grade long sword to inflict fatal damage on them.
So every time he attacks the enemy's vital parts, the neck, the face, and the bare arms. A few moves can kill an ordinary soldier, but it will take some time to deal with a third-rate warrior.
The siege lasted for half an hour, and the city gate was still not able to be attacked for a long time.
The officers and soldiers of the Qi State who defended the city were already exhausted, and under the city walls, above the city walls, there were corpses everywhere, and the ground was stained dark red with blood.
After half an hour, Su Yun and the others were transferred to the city to rest, replenish their physical strength, and defend the city gate, while the people who were originally in the city gate were replaced to defend against the enemy.
The siege continued, and the sound of fighting could be heard all the time.
Su Yun looked ahead, there were still many soldiers blocking the gate inside the city gate, preventing the soldiers of Wusun Kingdom from breaking the gate, and every impact shook the entire gate to fight, and the two doors moved back a lot.
After pondering for a while, Su Yun turned his head to look at Zhao Jin and asked in a low voice, "Old Zhao, did you say that you can hold it today?" ”
"Yongze County has captured a lot of strong men, and he is fully prepared, he should be able to hold it this time, so it depends on whether he can hold on until the support of the imperial city comes." Zhao Jin muttered.
"Hmm."
Su Yun also thought so, but got another news from Zhao Jin's mouth that the support of the Imperial City was on the way.
When the support arrives, the 10,000-strong army of Wusun Kingdom will probably be wiped out.
Half an hour later.
Because they could not attack for a long time, the soldiers of Wusun State chose Mingjin to withdraw their troops and withdrew ten miles away.
"Withdrawn! The officers and soldiers of Wusun State have withdrawn! ”
"It's us who wins!"
"Victorious! Wow! ”
“……”
People inside and outside the city seemed to be celebrating and cheering.
Su Yun was expressionless, and thought to himself: "This is just a victory, Wusun Kingdom probably also knows that Yongze County will have support, and the next few waves of sieges will probably become more and more frequent!" ’
