Chapter 56: The People Attack the City

Dingcheng.

The army of Changguo exceeded 80,000, blocking the south gate and east gate of Dingcheng, the sword was tense, and the battle was about to break out.

Xu Fan stood on the city gate, pointing at the Changguo army outside and scolding, most of them were mocking the other party for using this kind of indiscriminate trick to be easily seen by him.

In front of the Changguo army, Liu Wei, who had a scar on his face, looked at Xu Fan who was jumping on the city gate, his face was gloomy, which made his subordinates around him feel cold.

After a while, I heard Liu Wei scold fiercely: "This damn bastard, I've never seen someone who can run like this." ”

On this expedition, his task was not to plunder as usual, but to attack the city, and the target would naturally not be Mengcheng, but Dingcheng in front of him. The fierce battle of Langkou Mountain has not disappeared, if he takes Dingcheng, it is equivalent to smashing Huanglong, which will be a fatal blow to the morale of the front.

Chen Tao's surrender made him see an opportunity that could be easily resolved, pretending to besiege Mengcheng to besiege the city for reinforcements. If the bearded beard leads the veterans of Dingcheng to fight, as long as they are defeated in one go, Dingcheng can be easily defeated.

If the bearded man leads a new soldier into battle, he can deceive the city gate by defeating him and pretending to be a rout. Everything went very successfully, after defeating the opponent's army and capturing Cai Cai, Liu Wei personally led the light cavalry all the way to Dingcheng.

When they met someone, they were killed, and the deserters who were killed did not dare to come in this direction, so that the news of the battle of Mengcheng could not be transmitted back to Dingcheng.

Everything went smoothly until I met Xu Fan.

A man who ran up and was ashamed of himself even as a war horse, and what was even more ridiculous was that the nearly twenty-meter-high city wall of Dingcheng, this guy actually ran up directly as if he was walking on the ground, and he didn't even have to open the city gate.

After that, he still tried to pretend to be a rout to deceive the city gate, but unfortunately with Xu Fan here, this plan was naturally useless.

It's just that the plan was broken, and he was so ridiculed that Liu Wei couldn't rush to the city and cut off the guy who kept jumping.

"This ...... This...... This can be held!"

At this moment, Xu Fan was standing beside an elegant man, who was the Dingcheng Supervisor. Although he can also be said to be a high-ranking authority on weekdays, even Qi Shaohu has to ask his opinion on many things.

He also often participated in the analysis of the war reports of all parties, but he really participated in the war so directly, but it was the first time after coming to Dingcheng. Especially at this moment, the enemy is still strong and weak, and he is naturally panicked in his heart.

"There is no need to worry about the prison army!" Xu Fan immediately reassured: "The art of war is cloudy: ten times surround it, attack it five times, and divide it twice." Our army has the strength of the city, and he doesn't have ten times the number of men, so he doesn't have to think about it at all. ”

"But there are less than twice as many men and horses as us, and even field battles may not be won, let alone siege battles. Please see the prison army, he Liu Wei only surrounded the south gate and the east gate, which shows that he also knows that there are not enough soldiers and horses, and he has no confidence. ”

After the prison army looked left and right, he breathed a sigh of relief: "So very good, so very good!"

After staring at it for a long time, Liu Wei pointed the long knife in his hand at Dingcheng, and shouted loudly: "Listen to the people in the city, Qi Shaohu is trapped in Langkou Mountain, and it is difficult to protect himself." Old man Cai's 20,000 horses have all turned into loess, and you will not have any support in Dingcheng. ”

"If I surrender now, I don't have to worry about it, or I'll wait to be slaughtered by me!"

"Put your bullshit, you break the city and show me!" Xu Fan pointed at Liu Wei and scolded loudly, before the words fell, he jumped suddenly, and actually ran down the city wall, rushed to Liu Wei only a hundred meters in front of him, and shouted arrogantly: "Lao Tzu is out now, you come and kill it!"

Twisted his butt a few times, groaned a few times, and ran up along the city wall again, making Liu Wei angry, with a wave of the big knife in his hand, and ordered loudly: "Push those wastes out of me!"

As soon as the words fell, a large number of people were immediately driven in front of the army by the sharp blades of spears.

"What are they trying to do?" the overseer wondered.

"The people of Mengcheng!" Xu Fan was stunned for a moment, then his face sank, and he secretly exclaimed, naturally he had already guessed what the other party wanted to do.

A group of ordinary people, even if they live in this remote place, can face the enemy army like wolves and tigers, and they are confused for a while, like sheep, and they don't know what to do.

Liu Wei took a big bow, pulled the string with an arrow, and as soon as his hand was released, there was a roar, and a person was pierced through the chest. The arrow was so powerful that it did not stop there, but passed through seven or eight people in a row in an instant before it stopped.

Immediately all the people panicked. Liu Wei shouted loudly: "Don't say that I won't give you a chance, let me run now, and you can live if you run close to Dingcheng, otherwise, there will be no mercy!

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of crossbowmen opened their bows and set up arrows, and when Liu Wei gave an order, hundreds of sharp arrows flew out.

"Ahh

There was a scream, and hundreds of people were shot and fell to the ground.

"Run!"

Someone shouted, and everyone immediately ran in the direction of Dingcheng.

"Ready, put!"

An adjutant beside Liu Wei kept ordering, and as soon as the bow and arrow were shot, the people of Mengcheng fell down one by one. The living heart was extremely panicked, blank, and ran in the direction of Dingcheng. It's your own city, and as long as you can get in, you can live.

"This ...... This...... This...... Brute!" the overseer at the head of the city looked frightened, he never thought that the other party would force the city gate open in this way.

"Lord Overseer, let people go out to the rescue!"

Xu Fan couldn't stand it anymore, and suggested a little weakly.

"Impossible!" The prison army immediately refused: "I won't fight, but I also know that once the city gate is opened, Liu Wei will wait for the opportunity to move, and what if the city is lost when the time comes." ”

"But this is tens of thousands of lives!" Xu Fan also knew that what the prison army said was correct, but it was really difficult to watch and do nothing.

The prison army asked rhetorically: "What about the hundreds of thousands of lives in Dingcheng?"

Xu Fan was silent, resourceful and helpless at the moment.

"Report!"

At this time, a scout galloped over and came to Liu Wei's side: "General, there are a large number of people and horses from the Ji Kingdom who have killed from the east, about five thousand. ”

Liu Wei was stunned: "Five thousand...... Who else can lead troops to support at this time?"

"It seems that the defeated army of the Ji Kingdom was brought over after being collected by someone. ”

"Oh, it's kind of interesting, I don't know who the leader is?"

The scout shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't seen it!"

As he spoke, he heard the sound of the earth thumping, and when he looked back, he could see a large army galloping from the east.

Yang Fanhai was anxious, although he had been living in Panshan, there was a cynical father who talked about the situation outside and the suffering of the people from time to time, which made him unconsciously affected.

Now that he has a beard, he has only one thought in his heart, he must save people, and he must relieve the siege of the city, otherwise more people will die under the knife of the guillotine.

Rushing to the edge of the battlefield, he saw the figure in black armor in front of the enemy army at a glance, and even saw the fierceness in his eyes.

Screams were heard, and groups of ordinary people fell under the sharp arrows, blood all over the ground.

"Stop!"

Yang Fanhai roared, such words were inappropriate for such a battlefield, which made Liu Wei smile coldly: "It seems that he is a stinky kid!"

Then he instructed the people around him: "Drive the rest of the waste to the back and see if he dares to rush!"

There are more than 100,000 people in Mengcheng, and he divided them into two batches to be used later, and they are just right to use at this moment.

He gave a loud order: "Siege!"

At this time, many people had already run to the front of the city wall only a hundred meters away, if the soldiers on the wall shot arrows, they would die faster than the soldiers of Changguo without armor protection.

As soon as the military ordered, the ladder and the broken city cone moved in response, and tens of thousands of troops rushed towards Dingcheng.

"General, isn't it too impulsive, there is still time, but you can figure it out slowly. ”

An adjutant beside him reminded that it only takes more than 100,000 horses to win a city with 30,000 defenders. They could have infiltrated slowly in various ways to reduce casualties.

Liu Wei shook his head and sneered: "Don't worry, someone has already inquired about us, and the other party is responsible for guarding the city, not the general." The prison army is a dog thing, greedy for merit and afraid of responsibility. If there is merit, they will be more vicious than the vicious dogs, and if they are to be held accountable, it will be a joke. ”

"The lives of tens of thousands of people are here, even if he wins today, I am afraid that he will become a hidden danger in the future. If he loses Dingcheng, the biggest responsibility is Qi Shaohu, and he has little to do with him. I left two doors for him to escape, and he should know how to choose. ”

Liu Wei has a vicious mind, but his resourcefulness is not bad, and he is expected to hit the facts.

Seeing the Changguo army attacking the city, there was no attack order on the wall of Dingcheng.

Xu Fan's face was gloomy, he was just a recruit, how could he give such an order. And the prison army was even more pale, not knowing what to do.

ordered to shoot tens of thousands of people, even if he wins today, I am afraid that he will be imprisoned when he goes back, how dare he move for a while. I have a splitting headache, and I can't wait to fall into a coma, so that people can send themselves out of the city to escape for their lives, and they don't have to face this troublesome choice.

On the other side of the battlefield, Yang Fanhai also encountered great trouble.

Liu Wei drove tens of thousands of people to block in front of the army, hitting his weakness.

"But it must be remembered that it is impossible to kill people. Soldiers are used to protect the people, and weapons must not be aimed at the people of their own country, so we must remember!"

The bearded advice swirled around his mind, and even without his advice, he would not have been able to rush over and kill people by stepping on the bones of these tens of thousands of people.

How is it good, how is it good...... Yang Fanhai's heart was in chaos, the shouts of the people, the entrustment of the beard before he fell into a coma, and the sneer of Liu Wei in the distance kept lingering in his heart.

"Captain Yang, attack, there must be people who will die in this war!" The partial general on the side suggested, he had no other way at the moment, it was impossible to watch Dingcheng be destroyed.

At this time, the Changguo army in front of them had already climbed along the ladder to the city wall, although there were some arrows to resist, but the strength was not large, it could not be blocked at all, and several places at the end of the ladder had even begun to fight.

After thinking about the war situation for a long time, Yang Fanhai finally made a decision.
