Chapter 1,306 Xiyan attacks the city with flying rocks
At the same time, there was a temporary tent in Jinyong City. The fortress was only two or three miles in radius, and there were no official offices such as the governor's office inside. There were more than a hundred tents, which were the usual shelter for the defenders.
Therefore, Liu Yu and more than ten senior generals, as well as Lu Xun and Xu Daofu, less than twenty people, were all sitting in the tent, with a sand table piled in front of them, forming a circle and conducting the final military discussion.
Lu Xun looked at Liu Yu who was sitting at the top and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you could actually take care of all the five thousand Xiyan soldiers and horses. I'm very surprised why you didn't bring over the more than 20,000 Liangzhou soldiers and horses."
Well, with this army, the siege of Luoyang can be solved without a fight."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Liangzhou soldiers and horses did not receive the order from the imperial court. They went out without permission and violated their duty to defend the territory. They were originally here to intercept Fu Pi, but unexpectedly they ran into the Xiyan branch. It was an unintentional attack.
, I have a good relationship with General Mao Qiu, so I happened to contact them and we won this victory. However, Hanzhong is not safe now. Yang Ding and Dou Chong both have ambitions to plot Hanzhong. Their army cannot stay out for a long time, so they still go back.
Well, we still have to fight the battle of Luoyang on our own."
Liu Yi curled up his lips: "Murong Yong broke through two formations and lost his vigor. Now he no longer has the strength to attack Luoyang. However, their army has been building fortifications and a long siege in the past few days, and has surrounded our Jinyong City and Luoyang itself.
The cities are separated, and it seems that they want to concentrate their forces to attack our Jinyong City first."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "I can't get what I asked for. Although there are many people defending the city in Luoyang City, most of them are civilians newly recruited. In addition, they have to defend the outer city. The city wall is too long and the troops are divided everywhere, which is dangerous. However, in our Jinyong City, the city defense
It is strong and more than two thousand defenders are enough to defend all aspects. This time, we will use the defense to defeat Murong Yong so that Xiyan and Xianbei will never dare to enter Tuluoyang again."
He Wuji nodded: "Jinu said it well. These days, we have reorganized the troops defending the city. The Tianshi Daoists and the Beifu Army are all mixed together. The Tianshi Dao disciples do not have heavy armor and long spears.
But he has superb swordsmanship and is good at close combat. He is the best jumping soldier. There is no need to form a formation to defend the city. Personal martial arts is more important, so I put more Tianshi Dao disciples on the city.
, Senior Brother Lu, do you have any objection to this arrangement?"
Lu Xun smiled slightly: "Of course I have no objection. Since we have all entered the city, we must work together and give full play to our respective strengths. Fat Join the Army has renovated Jinyong City in the past few days. There are a large number of hidden caves and secret doors.
, even if the enemy bombards us with trebuchets, it will not hurt our defenders at all. There is no need to leave too many soldiers and horses at the top of the city to prevent the enemy's bows and arrows from shooting. Just a small number of people and horses can be observed. If the enemy forces climb the city in large numbers, then
Go to town and deal with it.”
Liu Yu nodded: "Our army now has 2,000 people, divided into six groups. Liu Yi, He Wuji, Lu Xun, and Xu Daofu each lead 300 people. Each person is responsible for the defense of one city wall. Liu Daogui and I lead two groups.
The strategy of defending the city has been explained in great detail. When the enemy attacks from a distance, the troops should be deployed lightly in the front and in the rear. When the enemy's large group is dispatched, additional troops will be added from the hiding place. Look at my flag and use different tactics.
If necessary, open the hidden wall, rush out from the wall, and launch a counterattack against the enemy."
There was a close sound of gongs from the top of the city, three long and one short, followed by a short blast of horns. Liu Yu frowned: "It seems they are going to use trebuchets to attack the city. Everyone, follow the instructions just now.
Plan to return to our respective posts and defend in a defensive way. This time, we must continue our efforts to defeat the Yan thief!"
Everyone stood up, drew out their swords, and said in a deep voice: "Destroy the Yan thief!"
When everyone's figures disappeared outside the tent, accompanied by the impact of armor leaves and the sound of military boots on the ground, they walked all the way to the top of the city. The sound of drums outside the city also came in. Liu Yu was sitting in the military tent.
, Liu Muzhi on the side was a little nervous and kept drinking water from the bamboo tube. Liu Yu looked at him and suddenly laughed: "I suddenly remembered, this is your first time to defend the city, Fatty."
Bar."
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips and said, "So what? I've been on the battlefield just once or twice. It's not a big deal to defend the city this time. You don't think I'm a coward, right?"
Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "Who wouldn't be scared if there were big rocks flying above your head or spiked arrows running in your pants? When I first watched Shouchun, I didn't even know I peed in my crotch. Fatty, what if you
If you're scared, just shout out loud, there's no shame in it."
"Woohoo", bursts of sound piercing the air sounded, Liu Muzhi's face changed slightly, Liu Yu said calmly: "Sure enough, they are throwing stones to attack the city. It seems that the main force of their attack is from the north. The ones flying from that direction
There are more rocks than the other three sides, Fatty, how do you deal with it?"
Liu Muzhi gritted his teeth: "I dug a large hole under the city wall, which is more than half the height of a person. When flying stones or arrows are coming, people can hide in these wall holes and they will be fine. People in the city
The buildings, warehouses, and tops are all built with multiple layers of thick wooden boards and covered with soil in the middle. Even a thirty kilogram boulder cannot break through our fortifications."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "Peng" sound, and there seemed to be a thunder above his head. Something hit the top of the military tent hard, and a burst of fly ash fell from the sky, drenching Liu Muzhi's head and face.
Yes, he yelled "Mom" and immediately fell to the ground with his head in his arms. His chubby body was trembling slightly, but he didn't dare to look up again.
Liu Yu and more than ten soldiers from the Beifu Army were sitting motionless. Meng Longfu, Kuai En and others all had their flags on their backs. In this battle, these outstanding soldiers were also used as messengers. If the situation was dangerous, they would be there.
After passing the order, they had to go into battle on the spot. Many of them knelt down on one knee and sat on their slightly bent legs so that they could get up and run at any time. In a fierce battle, time is life.
However, Liu Muzhi's appearance made everyone laugh. Although the soldiers of the Beifu Army were fearless, they were trapped in the small town and were bombarded by enemies more than ten times their size, unable to fight back. Just now
The atmosphere was somewhat depressing, but seeing Liu Muzhi's bearish appearance, all those worries disappeared with laughter.
Liu Muzhi's fat face blushed slightly, and he sat up. While patting the dust on his body, he said: "Look, the top I added is so strong, but you still find it troublesome when I ask you to do it like this.
Now you know how it works."
Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, Fatty, everyone understands, there is no need to explain anything."
