Chapter five hundred and sixty-fifth: Steady defense of Lucheng
"Still fighting? I've gone back to the inner city for the winter." After hearing the information, Chang Shiro was startled.
"We are still fighting. According to previous intelligence, King Dongwen of Liangzhou has rushed to Lucheng with his army. It is estimated that the city will be besieged by now."
"He is so angry. Even a monster like Sima Xiu fell into the hands of Xiaodong. But... Xiaodong's family hid it very deep. Zhongde, you read that right. Poisonous Eagle is really not dead." Chang Shiro
It was a bit unpleasant, but I soon felt relieved and a smile appeared on my mouth.
"With this move of his, he was able to cripple an arm of that crybaby. After a few years, the little boss's Shuzhou will be completely wiped out."
"When Liangzhou is really lost, I think this little crybaby will be shameless enough to call himself the King of Liangzhou?"
The old counselor beside him looked at his lord speechlessly.
"The poisonous owl is not dead, but it is a serious problem for the Lord."
Changshiro smiled and did not answer.
"Zhongde, first set your sights on the four states of Hebei. In the spring of next year, the Yuzhou army will also launch a full-scale attack. That bitch Gongsunzu is poor and ugly, and I can't stand it for a moment. Sooner or later he will be put down.
Drowned in a urinal."
"You are so ugly but you think you are so beautiful. You can jump up and down even if you are on the dragon's throne, but you still want to fight for the throne."
"My Lord, don't be careless, don't forget about the backstab before." The old counselor hurriedly advised.
"No, I will be very careful, sooner or later I will kill that dwarf!"
Perhaps because he was happy, Chang Silang let out a breath and said, "Zhongde, when we attacked Huzhou, we also captured some robes and armor, right?"
"Exactly."
"Keep it of no use and give it to your little boss."
"Lord, how can this be done!"
"It was a bet. Back then, he brought twenty-two villagers into the inner city. I bet right once, and now I bet again."
"My lord, if we put it in the future, the King of Shu might be a formidable enemy!"
"Zhongde, in my life, I am really destined to be a widower. It is the same with Xiao Taotao, and it is also the same with my little boss. I don't accept this fate! Besides, one day I am unlucky and get stabbed again.
Crossed your legs. In this world, there is at least one little boss who knows how to beat Di Gou, right?"
"Xiao Taotao and I were so accurate back then. He finally came out, hehe."
The old counselor sighed and was silent for a moment.
"Just wait, if you don't retreat in the winter, the little crybaby will have to cry for two more years. He's just a clumsy hero, a coward who killed his father and brother. He should go to hell as soon as possible to atone for his sins."
…
"Hachi!"
While riding on the horse, Dong Wen suddenly sneezed.
"It's getting colder, please take care of yourself, my lord."
"I know." Dong Wen rubbed his nose, frowned, and looked coldly at the battle ahead.
It has been two days in a row, and no matter how intensive the attack is, there is still no sign of victory.
The battle was brutal, with nearly 10,000 casualties among the Xiqiang people at the front. Several Xiqiang chiefs were already cursing their mothers.
"King Liang, it's freezing cold, it's time to retreat!" King Fu Xun, wearing a golden felt helmet, came anxiously on horseback. If we continue to fight, I don't know how many more warriors of the Fu Xun tribe will die.
Dong Wen said expressionlessly, "King Fu Xun, have you forgotten your clan's long-cherished wish? If you want to step into the Central Plains, then this is the best opportunity."
King Fu Xun looked hesitant. The land in the Central Plains is fertile. Compared with the Gobi desert and the life of living in oases, I don't know how much better it is.
He didn't want to think about it, but the defenders of Lucheng were too stable. After attacking for two days, there was no sign of the city being broken. Instead, there were corpses piled up in several layers under the ravine.
"King Liang, you also know that there will probably be heavy snowfall soon——"
Dong Wen's face turned cold for a moment, "If Lucheng cannot be captured in three days, I will naturally return to Liangzhou."
King Fu Xun was silent for a while and did not persuade him again.
"Notify the whole army to push up all the siege equipment and make sure to break open the city gate!"
It seemed that the fighting was becoming more and more fierce. In the area around the north gate of Lucheng, there were throwing stones and flying arrows everywhere. Some exploded in the siege square formation, or among the defenders at the top of the city, people were hit by arrows from time to time and rolled down.
"Handgun!"
The tree roots covered with iron teeth rolled over them, and a Xiqiang phalanx that had attacked the city was instantly crushed and lost its armor.
"City ladder, take the city ladder over first! Use flying arrows to cover it!" A Xiqiang chief shouted, holding up his sword and shield.
Before he could finish shouting, he was struck by arrows shot from the city wall. He screamed and died on the spot.
From a high position, the power of the flying arrows became more and more fierce. Under the command of an old Shuzhou general, he tried his best to block the enemy troops approaching the city.
"Lord, Liang Ren's Jinglan is coming."
Jinglan is a mobile arrow tower. Although it moves very slowly, when it is close to the city gate, the power of long-range shots is extremely terrifying.
"How many seats?" Xu Mu frowned.
"About five."
Dong Wen tried his best to pile up all the siege equipment. It can be seen that he will not give up until Lucheng is destroyed.
Without any hesitation, Xu Mu ordered coldly.
"Tell the garrison at the top of the city to use the heavy crossbow and wait until the well is close, then shoot the fire cloth over it."
Firecloth is a curtain soaked in kerosene. Unlike kerosene cans, it covers a larger area. It is usually rolled into a roll, and then slowly hangs down after the iron crossbow pierces it, destroying the enemy's artifacts.
wet.
On the battlefield, the wisdom of the ancients has always emerged in endlessly.
"My lord, I have an order."
"Wait a minute." Xu Mu suddenly spoke again, "The reserve camp under the messenger city will be divided into hundreds of cavalry, waiting in the middle of the city to deliver the message. The other three city gates, no matter how big or small, if there is any change in the Liang army's offensive, they will
You must come and report to this king."
Again, Dong Wen may be violent, but he is definitely not a mediocre general. Xu Mu is worried that Dong Wen will have a back-up plan. If the fight continues like this, he will naturally have nothing to fear. He only needs to hold on until the winter snow is covered and Dong Wen does not retreat.
Gotta retreat.
Defending a strong position is nothing more than water and earth cover. No matter what kind of offensive, as long as it can be resolved, you will be safe.
"My lord, a letter from the military advisor." Just as Xu Mu was thinking, suddenly, Gong Dog came over in a hurry.
After receiving the letter, Xu Mu couldn't wait to open it. He only glanced at it for a few times, and his face gradually became silent. Many times, he didn't want his military advisor to take risks deep into the enemy's territory.
"Lord, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xu Mu took a breath, and his face suddenly darkened, "Longbow, take your divine bow camp, wait until the well fence is close, and it will be wet with kerosene, and shoot the fire arrow immediately!"
"Be careful. The power of long-distance shots from wells cannot be underestimated."
Gong Gou had no fear on his face, he just held his fists high and said five words, "Xu Changgong takes orders!"
…
Not long after, Dong Wen saw the first well gate, which was still far away, and was covered by fire before he could show off his violence for a long time. Dong Wen shouted angrily.
He had thought that although the well gate would be destroyed, he only needed to protect the soldiers who climbed up first, and it would be considered a success. However, he never expected that he would be stopped by the commoner thief just at the beginning.
"Lord, if not, push back the well railing first."
"If you don't need it, just use it as a diversion."
In an instant, Dong Wen's face showed a trace of ruthlessness, and he summoned a confidant.
"Take my token and inform the ambushing army twenty miles away to attack at the west gate! We must fight quickly and catch the Shu dog off guard!"
