Chapter 584: Defending the City
It has been proven that there are no weak people in the cruel living environment.
It has been more than half a month since the beginning of the hazy rainy season, there are no reinforcements on the north bank, and even some troops have left without permission.
After finding that they could not continue to encircle the point and send reinforcements, they finally decided to take Yuecheng, and they will let more Central Plains forces see what it means to be brave and good at fighting, defending the city and attacking the city According to the normal situation, the besieging side needs more troops to bear greater losses, but the reality is comparable.
After the fall of the former Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains suffered serious losses in perennial melee battles, weakened to a very low level, and the combat effectiveness of the army could not be improved.
At the head of the wall, the defenders of Yuecheng with vegetables on their faces looked at the dense crowd outside the city, and the people trembled.
The last few breakout battles have made them clearly see the strength of the opponent, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the Chibi people is no different from the generals and soldiers in the Central Plains army, if they are ordinary young and strong, strictly trained, well-fed and well-equipped, and are fully capable of fighting.
It's a pity that only the former Tang Dynasty can afford expensive military spending, and now, if you can get five taels of silver a year, you can kowtow to officials and generals and call them Bodhisattvas, and you can eat empty salaries, the equipment is tattered, and you eat gruel.
How can a person who eats porridge beat a person who eats meat, and his physical strength can't keep up with the art of war, no matter how good it is.
A full-professional army costs a lot of money, and no one wants to pay for it.
Jiang Mian, Pan Hongzu and Chenjia stood together, the drizzle wet their clothes were wet and uncomfortable, but the people outside the city didn't care about the slippery city wall on rainy days, and they only had rags around their waists that were not afraid of rain, and their dense bald heads looked spectacular.
Purple Void Pan Hongzu glanced at the person and shook his head.
"Pan Daoyou, what do you mean by shaking your head? Can't we hold the city?" asked Chenjia secretly.
"They were too disorganized. ”
“......”
Chenjia was speechless, dare to love you After watching it for a long time, your attention was all about whether the formation was neat or not, and he was worthy of being a pure yang disciple who was proficient in mathematics, and he could not tolerate flaws at any time.
The people outside the city were really messy, and they gathered together at random without a formation and yelled.
The soldiers in the rear avoided it, Qiao Jin came to the head of the city with a silver gun and stood up, followed by the Wu soldiers who were captured by the Yan army, and all of them received weapons to go to the city at this moment.
Don't worry about resisting suddenly, because the people outside are even more terrifying.
Jiang Mian, who was emaciated and full of stubble, smiled at Qiao Jin.
"Thank you, General Joe, for your help. ”
"I'm defending my own home, and it's none of your business. ”
Coldly shook off a sentence and looked outside the city and no longer cared about it, which made King Jiang embarrassed, but fortunately, at this moment, everyone's attention was outside the city, and no one heard the enemy.
Outside the city, a strange man with a tattoo on his face raised his horn and blew it hard!
Woo......!
The horn sounded throughout the plain basin, and the dense chaos rushed to the city wall like a swarm!
There is no tactics, no tactics, and no formation, his eyes are fierce and he runs wildly in the rain, carrying all kinds of rough and simple ladders and monsters to charge, Pan Hongzu feels that the general will not stand in the distance and sit bored at all, and it is very likely to rush to the front, because after the fight, there is no need for too much command, it is too chaotic......
Suddenly a dense array of arrows flew outside the city!
The defenders of Yuecheng immediately knew how powerful the archery skills of the Chibi people were, the craftsmanship was rough and the range was very long, and the rain of arrows kept falling towards the wall, causing casualties!
When those messy ladders or even just a bamboo pole on the city wall, the battle directly entered the white heat, and the crazy Chibi people climbed the city wall with the attack of arrows and rolling stones and ants, and were almost broken as soon as the battle began, but fortunately they were beaten down by the powerful generals.
Not only to defend against arrows but also to fight against the siege enemy, those Chibi archers don't care about the indiscriminate attacks of the ants and siege clans, and the Chibi people who climb the city wall scream and scream almost suicidal, slashing teeth and biting like beasts, and even dragged the defending soldiers to plant the city wall together before they died, and the crazy fighting method was bloody and brutal, and the defense of the city wall was crumbling......
No one thought it would be a bloody battle from the beginning.
There was no rest, no change of formation, just a non-stop onslaught, and it rained from early morning until dark.
The bloody water stained the red city wall, the rain mixed with the blood water flowed through the drainage channel, and the wounded soldiers were carried down the city with blood stains and wailing, and a bloody corpse was thrown down directly......
My arms are sore, numb, I breathe shortly, I feel nauseous in my stomach, and I want to vomit......
The soldiers climbed the city wall again and again and were beaten down again and again, and all the means of rolling stones, sasswood, and gold juice could not stop the crazy monsters.
When I found that those bald weirdos had receded like a tide, I found that it was getting dark, and the haze covered the sky without knowing the time, and I didn't know the time of day.
"King Wu is a madman......"
Jiang Mian scolded, and Qiao Jin next to him rarely did not refute, and began to shake his sense of belonging to Nanwu.
Seeing that the city wall was in a mess and suffered heavy casualties, the defenders not only did not have any advantages, but almost broke the city several times, Jiang Mian didn't know if he could survive tomorrow......
Looking at the lights of the Yanjun camp on the north bank of the river, many people watched Yuecheng on the riverside and hillside.
It is estimated that the reason why he didn't leave was to wait to see if King Jiang was killed by the Chibi people, otherwise the name of the rebellion would not be justified, and it would not be possible to rescue it anyway, so just wait for the change to be good, no one wants to fight hard with a Chibi madman like a beast.
Jiang Mian, who was exhausted, sat down, wiped the dirty rain off his face, and found that Pan Hongzu and Chenjia around him were spotless.
"Daochang Pan, will the Demon King come to save this king......
"You have made a covenant. ”
Pan Hongzu said a word and stopped talking.
The future human emperor Jiang Mian may not immediately understand the meaning of this sentence, and he was stunned before he remembered the covenant, and secretly complained bitterly, knowing that he should have seriously discussed it instead of fooling around at will, the covenant in the world is the least valuable, and now the north bank will not send troops to wait and see the situation, who knows if they can hold the city wall, and it seems that only demon soldiers are available, I hope that the demon king can send troops in accordance with the covenant.
Night falls, there are no stars at night, the moon is as dark as ink.
At intervals between the city walls, copper basins filled with fire oil were lit for lighting, and the rain was cold and hungry, and the hearts of the people were fluctuating in the face of crisis, and there were villains and ruffians in the city who took the opportunity to do something wrong......
Just when Yuecheng was in danger, the fleet from the Southern Wilderness took advantage of the floodwaters in the rainy season to sail overnight.
With the help of the helmsman and the help of the water monster underwater, the fleet traveled at great speed, passing the flickering lights of the villages and towns on both sides of the river.
Bai Yujun never felt how difficult this operation was, there was definitely a danger, and it wouldn't be too big.
The biggest purpose of sending troops to the Central Plains is to train troops and practice long-distance marches, and the melee of the Central Plains royal power is not enough to worry about, if you really want to kill Bai Yujun herself, you can make the army collapse.
In the comfortable cabin of the ship, the thick bedding is extremely comfortable, and the boat shakes slightly like a crib.
A certain white lay in the quilt, only his head and thick long hair were exposed, sleeping quietly......
