Chapter 1204 Siege
Seeing Jingyang's happy and embarrassed look, Ling Yao felt distressed, diverted his attention, and said with a smile: "This is called the invisibility cloak. My sister gave it to you. Do you like it?"
"Uh-huh!"
Jingyang nodded heavily, tears falling from his eyelashes, obviously he liked this gift very much.
Ling Yao took Jingyang's little hand and said in a voice as crisp as a nightingale: "Come on, I'll show you. I still have a lot of good things. My father captured Jicheng without any blood, so I didn't take them out. Now I'm giving them away."
It’s your time!”
Zhou Puzhong and his sons looked very ugly. For them, this matter was not honorable.
"good!"
Jingyang jumped off Dongming Ziyu's knees and returned to his young and mature look, as if the person crying in his father's arms just now was not him.
Jingyang happily brought Ling Yao into his tent, and the two of them chatted inside, with pleasant laughter coming from time to time.
After a while, Jingyang ordered someone to bring a large pottery basin.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Jingyang called all the guards in, "You dip your feather arrows, sleeve arrows, crossbow arrows, and your portable concealed weapons in this pottery basin, and let them dry before use."
The guard was slightly surprised, "Is this poison?"
They carry their weapons with them, and it is inevitable that they or their comrades will touch them accidentally. If they are poisonous, then they have to be careful.
Jingyang rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "It's poison, but he fainted first and then suffocated to death. I have the antidote here. If any of you are accidentally injured, I have time to save you."
Although the guards were a little worried about the baby Jingyang, he was the prince's son and they had to obey orders.
During war, weapons are distributed to each soldier, and weapons are not distributed before battle.
In order not to lose the efficacy of the medicine, the weapons in the arsenal are not quenched in Jingyang for the time being.
Ling Yao also helped him quench the poison from the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, and left him several bags of poison powder, and of course, the antidote.
After Dongming Ziyu finished discussing the matter, Ling Yao talked coquettishly to her father for a while, making Father Bingshan smile, and then followed the team back to the auxiliary barracks.
Dongming Ziyu had the invisibility cloak and the ghost carapace, so of course he would not waste it. That night, he sent An Yi and Mo Xiang to lead two hundred assault troops to dive across the moat from a distance.
After crossing the river, a formation was actually set up.
But An Yi and Mo Xiang have been with Dongming Ziyu all year round, so ordinary formations cannot stop them.
Their purpose was to plant explosives under the city wall, blow it open, then lower the drawbridge and let the soldiers over.
Mo Xiang and An Yi's martial arts were incredible, and they successfully reached the base of the city wall.
In fact, if the city gate is thin, it is easier to blow it up, but the defense there is tight, so they had no choice but to blow up the city wall.
"Boom! Boom!"
Several earth-shaking explosions directly blew a big hole in the city wall! Luo Yunhai, the general sent by Chu Song and Nanyun Lengyue, had just finished inspecting the defense and was walking on the stairs to the lower tower when he was shaken and rolled down the stairs.
Chu Song was shocked, "Quick! Fort defense, archers ready! Quick! Quick!"
He hurriedly gave orders while rushing to the top of the tower.
Luo Yunhai also gave a loud order: "Quick, bring two thousand soldiers to guard the exploded city wall!"
Luo Yunhai brought eight cannons, placed one at the other three gates, and placed the remaining five at the north gate, facing only Dongming Ziyu's army.
He thought that destroying all the bridges on the river would reduce the combat effectiveness because the suspension bridge was so narrow that Dongming Ziyu's cannon could not cross the river. But, what is going on now?
Chu Song and Luo Yunhai ran up the tower and saw a black ball rolling towards the suspension bridge.
I knew immediately that the equipment of the ghost soldiers had been seized.
Bows and arrows were useless against the black ball, so Luo Yunhai ordered cannons to be fired at the black ball.
When all the firepower was directed at the black ball, the soldiers guarding the suspension bridge fell silently, and the suspension bridge was lowered.
That's what Mo Mo, who is wearing an invisibility cloak, wants to do.
Chu Song shouted: "Blow up the suspension bridge!"
"Whizzing!"
A burst of crossbow arrows came from the artillery fire and hit the soldiers on the fort.
The soldiers ignored the cannons and evaded the crossbow arrows.
At the same time, thousands of troops suddenly emerged from the weeds and woods on the other side. Some rushed towards the suspension bridge, and some jumped into the moat to swim across the river.
The two hundred elite soldiers had already entered the city through the collapse of the city wall. They stood under the city wall and bombarded the soldiers who were occupying the city.
The soldiers who captured the city did not dare to throw bombs at them. With their backs against the city wall, they would blow up the gap in the city wall.
Over there, Wang Feng and his men, under the cover of shield soldiers, had pushed the trebuchet across the suspension bridge. At the same time, the suspension bridge was also blown up behind them.
Wang Feng ordered people to use trebuchets to throw explosive packets at the fort and blow up their cannons.
But the trebuchet is not a cannon after all, and its range and accuracy are not as good as that of a cannon.
Although it didn't completely succeed for a while, it also reduced the opponent's firepower.
Soldiers continued to cross the river from the moat Fushui, and soldiers from Yuancheng who had already crossed the river rushed towards the gap in the city wall under the cover of shields.
Chu Song shouted, "Archers! Archers, stop them!"
A gap has been blown into the city wall. Once the main soldiers attack, the consequences will be disastrous.
Immediately, arrows rained down from the sky one after another.
There was an artillery battle in the middle, and arrow rain on the left and right sides. The war entered an anxious state.
Chu Song commanded firmly: "Fire! Blow up their trebuchet!"
As soon as Chu Song commanded the battle, he entered the state quickly. The opponent had no cannons, and the suspension bridge was blown up by him. Relying on the water, the opponent could not transport much gunpowder.
Therefore, they have a great chance of winning! None of Yuancheng's assault soldiers are fuel-efficient. They dodge the sharp arrows and approach the city tower. Many of them have already jumped up from their horses and rushed to the city tower.
.
Chu Song and Luo Yunhai were shocked. They could see that there were many martial arts masters among Dongming Ziyu's elite soldiers, but they did not expect that there were so many! Seeing that the situation was not good, Chu Song decisively ordered, "Come here, open the city gate and fight.
!”
The number of people crossing the river on the other side is small, only more than 5,000, but they have 50,000. If they take the initiative to fight, they will definitely annihilate the enemy! As soon as the city gate is opened, all the soldiers and horses come out, and Tongming Ziyu's elite soldiers fight head on.
, in this way, it somewhat restrained the masters who flew up to the tower.
Luo Yunhai also made a prompt decision and mobilized crossbow carts to deal with the masters who threatened the tower. Arrows were fired indiscriminately, and many masters had to retreat.
At this time, the bombs in the hands of the more than 200 elite soldiers who invaded through the gap in the city wall had been used up, and they fought hand to hand with the soldiers who captured the city.
Chu Song breathed a long sigh of relief and finally stabilized the situation.
Chapter completed!
