Chapter 175: Battle at Dawn

After Wujie waited for everyone to calm down, he hurriedly asked Jingfu: "Isn't Jingfu waiting for Governor Zheng?"

Jingfu glanced sideways at Wujie, and in anger, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Han people are not trustworthy. We agreed to act together, but now they have not been seen and they have repeatedly broken their promises. We can't wait any longer."

Wujie was rushed by Jingfu, hesitated slightly, and said slowly: "Zheng Bao has sponsored us a lot of winter food. We won't wait for him..."

Jingfu didn't wait for Wujie to finish speaking, he hummed and said loudly to the leaders: "Don't think that this Zheng Bao is a good person. He is a wild wolf in the snow. He won't show up unless we take action."

There is such a good thing in the world. He gave you so much food for free. He wants us to smooth the way for him to become the governor of Lujiang. He wants me to compete with Lu Kang and the snipe and the clam so that he can be the fisherman. quot

;

Li Hu, who had endured it for a long time, was immediately overjoyed when he heard what Jingfu said, and immediately said: "Since the respected Jingfu knows that Zheng Bao is using us, why do you still cooperate with him?"

Jingfu raised the corner of his mouth, chuckled, and said: "Dear brother Li Hu, can we survive until now without that batch of food? Besides, I also have my own plans. The Han people think that we can't govern a city, but I don't believe it."

, this time I brought almost all the clan members with me. After taking Wancheng, I don’t plan to leave!"

"Ah..." What he said was really shocking. Li Hu, Wu Jie and others didn't know that Jingfu had such a plan. It would be a good thing to have long-term peace and stability in one place, but this is the heartland of the Han people. Even if they fight this time

If you run away from Lu Kang, there will be other Han people coming to attack you tomorrow. It will be difficult to gain a foothold on the Han people's territory!

Jingfu ignored the faces of the leaders below and continued to issue orders: "Order all warriors to attack Wancheng at dawn tomorrow."

Winter is rising, but the morning frost has not yet melted. It snowed just last night, and the sky is cold. A light ray of sunshine shines on people, but there is no warmth at all. It is still chilly to the bones.

Outside the east city gate, there are mountains and mountains. Thousands of majestic knights are walking slowly through the mountains. The shadow of the city wall appears in front, and the first ray of the rising sun can just shine there.

"Woo..." Cao Zhi woke up in the excitement of the horn and jumped up. Because Xu Zhu, Cao An and others were following him, it was inconvenient to live with Lu Jun and others in the special building of the south gate tower.

Cao Zhi slept peacefully in the "VIP Room", and Cao Zhi slept in the main bunk of a barracks between the east and south city gates.

Cao An rubbed his eyes and woke up with a start. Cao An jumped down to the ground, listened carefully, and shouted while running: "Jiangxia barbarians are attacking the city."

Cao Zhi and others quickly got up, left the barracks, and went straight to the south city. When Cao Zhi went up to the city tower, he saw Lu Jun and all his sergeants lying down behind the fortifications of the city wall, staring at the bottom of the city.

This was not the time for greetings and greetings. Cao Zhi quickly found an arrow stack to hide behind and looked down sideways. He couldn't help but be shocked at how so many barbarian troops suddenly appeared.

The Jiangxia barbarian army has attacked Wancheng several times in recent years, but they have been unable to attack it because the city is high and the trenches are deep. However, they are making a comeback this time, and they are determined to win. Moreover, many people of the Jiangxia barbarian people have died of cold and starvation this winter.

People. He is anxious about the current shortage of food and grass supplies in the army. They know that they cannot besiege Wancheng for a long time, so it is better to use all their strength to capture Wancheng as soon as possible.

As soon as dawn broke, groups of barbarian troops gathered from all directions. First they fired a burst of arrows, and then large groups of people rushed towards the city wall overwhelmingly.

The defenders in Wancheng City had been waiting in a tense manner all night. They saw the barbarian army swarming in with great momentum. They were really covering the field with banners and a forest of swords and guns. However, most of the soldiers in the city were battle-hardened and were not in a hurry to fight at this moment.

All the troops in the camp had stopped their flags and drums, and lay silently behind the battlement.

There are three trenches under the city. The trenches on both sides are filled with sharp wooden stakes. One of the deep trenches is the widest and is filled with sewage. Between each trench, there are antler fences to block the impact.

The barbarian army at the front quickly reached the ditch and was forced to stop, pull out the fence blocking the road, and build a bridge with bamboo ladders. Suddenly, countless soldiers were blocked by the ditch barrier and huddled together in a noisy way under the city.

Just then, a gong and a drum were heard blaring on the city top, and the soldiers lying on the city shouted in unison, knocking down the rows of bows and arrows. For a time, gunpowder smoke filled the air, gravel, and arrows rained down.

The barbarian troops crowded under the city were immediately beaten to death, and they staggered here and there. You pushed me and became a mass. Many people fell into the ditch in the chaos. They were either stabbed to death by wooden stakes or fell into the sewage.

Countless people drowned, were wounded by arrows, had their legs broken, and their arms broken.

The lime was so cheap that it would produce a chemical reaction when water came into contact with the eyes. Many of the barbarian soldiers were hit by the attack, and they fell to the ground screaming loudly with blood from their eyes. However, the barbarian army rushed forward one after another, and still rushed to attack the city wall regardless of life and death.

The defenders of Wancheng immediately lowered the wooden hammers and rolling stones. The wooden hammers were covered with copper sheets and iron nails. When rolled down, a "blood alley" was opened. A winch was placed every ten steps or so inside the city wall.

, tied with thin iron ropes, and in the middle is a log one foot in diameter and about one foot long. There are densely forested iron nails about five inches long on the log, which looks a bit like a giant mace.

The two soldiers were hiding under the arrow stack. They only had to lift the wooden stick and throw it towards the city. They heard a scream of pain. Then they shook the winch at both ends and twisted the "mace" back.

Although this kind of city defense tool is a bit cumbersome and time-consuming, it is assisted by several archers at both ends, which is enough to make up for the shortcomings, and its lethality is not small.

At this time, there were shouts of killing everywhere on the city wall. The soldiers were running back and forth on the city wall, constantly wielding their swords to cut off the hooks and ropes thrown from the city wall, and shooting back at the city wall with sharp arrows.

In the distance, I could only hear the roaring like thunder near the city wall, and the shots of strong bows and crossbows were like violent wind and rain. There were barbarian soldiers everywhere under the city, and the city wall was several feet high. They used hooks and ladders to throw them up the city wall.

, climbed up bravely without fear of death. Behind them, there were a large number of archers running back and forth on horseback shooting arrows to cover their attack on the city. The archers on the city also continued to fire arrows back. However, the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered. Although the location was convenient,

, was still suppressed to the point of being unable to raise his head.

A ladder had just been put up on the city wall. Xu Zhu's bow and arrow could not survive, but he had the strength to pull a pot of boiled tung oil with a hook, and pointed it at the bottom of the ladder. With a flip of his hand, it all fell down. There was an immediate rumbling from the city.

There were bursts of screams.

Xu Zhu lay down in the gap between the two arrow stacks, leaning his head to look down, grinning and laughing loudly: "Southern barbarians from Jiangxia, let you try Grandpa Xu's foot-washing water, please feel good."

?Ha ha......"
