Chapter 165

Pei Ren hadn't rested for long, and the golden morning sun had just dispersed on the earth.

The war drums of the Chu army suddenly reached the ears of the Tang army in the city from afar like thunder.

Pei Ren didn't go down the city wall all night, and with the soldiers, he rested against the city wall.

When the war drums of the Chu army came, Pei Ren was the first to jump.

Under the reflection of the rising sun, Pei Ren clearly saw the Chu army waiting in formation, and also saw his own shadow that was stretched out.

"Brothers! The little cubs of the Chu army are coming again! Can you beat them back! ”

"Yes!"

The morale of the Tang army was high, and the constantly improving fighting spirit made Pei Ren full of confidence at this time.

"Woo~~~!"

"Boom, boom, boom······"

The tone of the war drums of the Chu army changed, and the Chu army in the front row gradually approached the city.

"Bow and arrow ready!" At the same time as Pei Ren gave the order, he also picked up the bow and arrow.

The Chu army approached step by step, and soon entered the range of bows and arrows.

After the shield soldiers entered the firing range, the archers of the Chu army followed on the heels and approached the city wall under the cover of the shield soldiers, as long as they resisted the firing range, they could cover the attack of the infantry.

"My lord! It's in range! Seeing the shield soldiers entering the firing range, the deputy county lieutenant reminded loudly.

"Wait!" Pei Ren did not give the order to release the arrows.

Pei Ren was waiting, waiting for the archers of the Chu army to enter the firing range.

In fact, the biggest threat to them, apart from catapults, is these archers.

"Whew!"

At this moment, there was a whistling sound in the sky.

"It's a stone! Avoid! While Pei Ren shouted, he hurriedly squatted in the corner.

"Boom, boom, boom······"

Dozens of huge stones smashed on the city wall, and the ground shook suddenly, and he couldn't even stand on his feet.

Fortunately, the walls of Wucheng are still relatively thick, and the boulders have not been able to break through the city walls.

The catapult of the Chu army did not stop, and the boulders in the sky were still whistling.

Pei Ren squatted in the corner of the wall, but still stuck out his head and looked at the Chu army under the city through the gap.

Just as the archers of the Chu army entered the firing range, Pei Ren stood up suddenly.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Pei Ren's voice may not be able to reach everyone's ears, but seeing Pei Ren get up and shoot arrows, the soldiers also got up and released arrows.

Although the shield soldiers of the Chu army were trying their best to protect the archers, a large number of archers were still shot.

In desperation, the Chu army could only withdraw the archers.

I thought that under the suppression of the trebuchet, the archers would be able to advance to the designated position with a small number of casualties, but I didn't expect the Tang army to be so brave that they could stand up under the sling.

You must know that archers and cavalry are elites that are not easy to cultivate in the army, and they can't afford to lose them like this.

Lu Cheng took a deep breath and waved the Ling Qi in his hand.

"Attack!"

The heralds of the Chu army conveyed Lu Cheng's orders one by one, and the Chu army launched a charge towards Wucheng to the sound of war drums.

"! Don't want to break through the city where Lao Tzu is stationed! Pei Ren roared angrily and released the sharp arrow in his hand.

Huge siege ladders were set up on the city walls, and huge battering rams slowly approached the city.

"Fire oil ready!" Pei Ren shouted to the soldiers behind him.

Barrels of oil were brought up by the soldiers, and as the oil was ignited, black smoke suddenly curled up on the city.

"Pour the oil on Lao Tzu! Burn these bitches! Pei Ren himself lifted a pot of fire oil and fell directly towards the city wall.

This pot of fire oil was poured precisely on the battering ram, and immediately the battering ram was enveloped in fire.

The giant battering ram is made of wood, but it is not so easy to burn.

However, the entire battering ram was burned, and the Chu army couldn't get close at all, so naturally it couldn't be used.

But there were still some Chu troops who were not afraid of death who rushed forward, pushing the battering ram even if they were burned to death.

"! These Chu troops are crazy! So desperate! Seeing this scene, Pei Ren's heart sank.

Pei Ren didn't know that Lu Cheng, the chief general of the Chu army, had already given an order.

Those who ascend first, as well as those who break through first, will be rewarded with thousands of gold, knighted, and given good land.

This is an opportunity for ordinary soldiers to change their fate, and it is naturally a desperate siege.

"Boom!"

A siege ladder collapsed under the fire.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

At the same time, the fire on the battering ram under the city was already much smaller, and the Chu army screamed and pushed the battering ram, smashing on the city gate one by one.

"Smash it, smash it! Lao Tzu has already ordered someone to block the city gate! Pei Ren shouted angrily, and another pot of fire oil was poured down.

"Ahh

Pei Ren screamed, and when he poured the oil on the fire, an arrow shot at Pei Ren's shoulder.

It turned out that after the Chu army was killed under the city wall, the archers of the Chu army also quietly advanced to the firing range.

"Archer suppress! Fast! Pei Ren slashed the arrow on his shoulder with a sword.

Ignoring the arrow wound on his body, Pei Ren picked up a bow and arrow to counteract.

However, the Chu army was too crazy, and gradually, Pei Ren couldn't stop it.

There were already a small number of Chu troops staring at the city wall, although they were killed, but it already showed that the Tang army was already difficult to resist.

When Lu Cheng saw this scene, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If it drags on in Wucheng for too long, it will make the Tang army fully prepared, and it will be difficult to fight again in the future.

Although the Chu army said that it did not plan to fight Tang City this time, it also wanted to take a piece of meat from Tang Guo.

If this is a stalemate, then this piece of meat will shrink a lot.

Moreover, how to fight Wucheng, the teacher has demonstrated to himself before.

Although the teacher is no longer there, he will still implement the teacher's teachings and use the teacher's way to open up territory for my Chu country.

Lu Cheng looked at the young general next to him, "In the siege battle, there are not too many tactics to speak of, what is compared is bravery, and what is compared is the number of people!" ”

"The old general captured this city last year, and he was also rewarded so much, and it was the first lesson of the old general to produce a brave man under the heavy reward."

The young general bowed his hand to Lu Chengyi, "Disciple understands. ”

"It's good if you understand, but you have to remember. Those who are soldiers can produce brave men, but those who are generals must not produce brave men. ”

"Once the general is brave, he will definitely affect the three armies."

Lu Cheng carefully taught the young man next to him, obviously attaching great importance to this young man.

Although the young man was listening, his eyes were always on the battlefield ahead.

The battle intent in his eyes was difficult to hide, and he seemed to want to charge into battle, instead of listening to Lu Cheng's preaching here.

Seeing the appearance of this young man, Lu Cheng sighed silently in his heart.

Just then, a fast horse galloped from the left.

"Report! General Qiyu, a fine cavalry has appeared on the north side of our army, which has come towards our army. ”

"What! Where did the fine rider come from! Lu Cheng was taken aback.

At this time, this elite cavalry had already rushed into the camp of the Chu army.

Like a sharp sword, the entire Chu army was easily torn apart, and it went straight to the middle army of the Chu army.

Lu Cheng's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered to stop this elite horseman.

"Yu'er! Come back! ”

Lu Cheng was just a distraction, and the young general next to him had already rushed out with a gun and went straight to the elite cavalry that suddenly appeared.
