Gao Meng's military advisor nodded and said: "The matter has come to this, it is useless for the general to talk more. In my opinion, it is better to let Gao Qiang lead the soldiers to feint attack here. The general and I will lead the main sergeants to attack the east gate in a detour. As long as one gate can be opened.
, Jinan City is ours."
Gao Meng nodded and said: "That's right, let's set off now! Gao Qiang, I'll leave this to you. I'll give you 30,000 troops. You just need to feign an attack. No problem?"
A tall and thin man next to him nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, General Gao, we will keep attacking and we will definitely contain the opponent's main army."
Gao Meng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Gao Qiang, Jinan City is your hometown. You are more familiar with the terrain here than I am, so don't embarrass me."
This young man was Gao Qiang, the son of Gao Agu. Hearing what Gao Meng said, the young man nodded quickly and said, "General Gao, just don't worry."
Gao Meng nodded and quietly withdrew from behind with 30,000 rebel troops.
Gao Qiang commanded the bandits to continue attacking Jinan City to contain the main force of Chu Yunfei's army.
When Lan Ling came to the east gate, Chief Situ and the sergeants were looking on the city wall. When they saw Lan Ling coming with five thousand soldiers, they hurriedly stood up to greet him.
Lan Ling gave a few words of encouragement and asked about the situation below the city.
Chief Situ waited and said: "Princess Qi, there is nothing serious happening here at the east gate. The thieves below the city are just surrounding the city, but there is no sign of attack."
Lan Ling nodded and ordered the soldiers to go up to the city to wait while he looked down the city carefully.
The soldiers under the city are still dozens of miles away from the city gate. They say they are surrounding the city gate, but in fact they are just waiting in the distance. They are probably waiting for orders from above and just watching.
Lan Ling made a rough estimate and found that there were only more than 10,000 soldiers under the city. Speaking of which, if he estimated that the 10,000 soldiers on hand were to attack in full, these rebels would definitely not be his opponents. Lan Ling felt that
I was a little hesitant, should I take the opportunity to kill and kill only a few enemies?
Lan Ling was somewhat hesitant. After all, he was guarding the east gate. If he went down to start a war, it would be terrible if this was the opponent's trick. Once the east gate was lost, the entire Jinan City would definitely fall into the opponent's hands.
After thinking about it carefully, Lan Ling decided to defend the east gate. After all, the overall situation was more important. If the east gate was lost, even if he could kill all the rebels under the city, it would be of no avail.
Thinking of this, Lan Ling turned back to Sister Liu and Chief Situ and said, "Generals, we must guard the city gate. As long as the east gate is not lost, there is no need to worry about bandits."
Situ Changhou and the Liu sisters both nodded. Defending the city was several times easier than attacking. If we attack rashly, we might fall into the opponent's trap.
At that moment, everyone had finished discussing and arranged the soldiers guarding the city. As soon as everything was arranged, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Lan Ling felt a chill in his heart. He looked up against the night sky and saw tens of thousands of people rushing toward the east gate.
Although Lan Ling followed Zhou Long to practice martial arts and mental techniques, he had not had much contact with the art of war. When he suddenly saw the insurgents rushing over in a menacing manner, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Liu Moyu, who was standing next to her, felt that Lan Ling was a little nervous, so she smiled slightly and said, "Sister Lan Ling, it's not a big deal to put life and death aside for things like war."
As he spoke, Liu Moyu suddenly reached out and took off the small bow from his back, pulled it to the full moon with a swishing sound, and fired three arrows in a row. He only heard three screams from the knight on horseback in the distance. By the moonlight, Lan Ling
He could clearly see that the three knights fell straight down from their horses!
The Sui soldiers on the city cheered loudly, but once these three arrows were fired, the morale of the Sui soldiers was immediately shaken!
Situ Changhou smiled slightly and said: "The boss is indeed very capable!"
Liu Moyu put the bow and arrow on her back with her backhand, clasped her fists at everyone and said with a smile: "Thank you brothers for supporting me!"
Lan Ling couldn't help but smile. Although Liu Moyu had surrendered to the Sui army, his behavior still vaguely retained the demeanor and demeanor of the leader of the Red Scarf Army. His heroic appearance made everyone feel refreshed.
Gao Meng originally rushed over with great momentum, but when he was shot by these three arrows, the front army was slightly confused. Gao Meng shouted angrily: "What is the chaos? Hold on to my position!"
Hearing the ferocity of his shouts, the soldiers hurriedly stabilized their positions and continued to march forward. However, they all raised their shields in front of them, no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.
Gao Meng led his troops and met up with the soldiers previously stationed outside the east gate city. He took a look at the top of the city wall and saw some figures sparsely exposed on the city wall. He didn't know how many soldiers were guarding the city. Gao Meng called the deputy general.
, ordered: "Order to attack the city!"
The adjutant responded hurriedly, and immediately arranged for the infantry to open the way and push the siege chariot forward. The archers next to him covered the chariot as it moved forward quickly.
As soon as the soldiers heard this, they took action immediately. In a moment, the siege tanks were ready. The adjutant gave the order, and more than a dozen giant siege tanks moved forward quickly.
Lan Ling looked back at Liu Moyu and said, "Sister Moyu, you have to help me more."
Liu Moyu nodded and said: "Sister, what are you talking about? This is all our own business. Since these thieves want to attack from the east gate, let them have a taste of the power of our women's army!"
Lan Ling nodded. She had participated in countless battles recently. After seeing Liu Moyu fire three arrows with a bow, which dampened the enemy's spirit, she felt much more at ease. Now when she heard Liu Moyu say this, she felt even more confident.
Standing still, seeing the opponent's siege chariot rushing forward, Lan Ling shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"
The city wall is condescending. Against giant weapons like siege chariots, sharp arrows are still more powerful. Following Lan Ling's shout, thousands of arrows were fired from the city wall. The rebel army was shot to death by a burst of arrows, but only those behind him were killed.
The supervising team stood like menacing gods, holding the giant ax in their hands mercilessly in the air. Although many of the rebels died, no one dared to take a step back, mustered up their courage, and rushed towards the city gate.
Amidst the hail of bullets, some soldiers finally pushed the siege chariot to the bottom of the city. As the distance got closer, the long arrows lost their previous power. With the cover of the archers on both sides, the rebels climbed up to the siege chariot.
Holding a shield in his hand, he climbed up the city wall against the rain of arrows.
Lan Ling immediately ordered the soldiers to throw torches at the siege chariots. Some of the rebels' clothes were set alight by the torches, and they screamed and rolled on the ground.
Gao Meng looked at the miserable condition of the soldiers coldly and said to the adjutant: "Send more men and keep charging up!"
He has been on the battlefield for a long time and is used to this kind of death. In any siege war, tens of thousands of people have to die? Otherwise, why would Gao Agu go around to recruit soldiers for the King of Wisdom?
The adjutant had been following Gao Meng for some time, and of course he knew Gao Meng's character. After hearing what he said, he hurriedly waved back and said: "Brothers, rush forward for me! Take down the city gate, use it for women to enjoy, and kill for men.
