Before this, He Dong almost never thought that Wubao would be unable to be defeated.
Not only him, but also the minions who had just joined the gang had the same idea. Everyone thought that this battle would be a hearty one.
In the face of absolute strength, no matter how strong the Wubao is, no matter how much the people guarding the Wubao resist, the bandits will break through their defenses with overwhelming force, and then kill and plunder without mercy.<
/p>
The emergence of rumors has caused some thieves to hesitate.
He Deng had to move his direct troops to the front to replace those who were hesitant.
His idea is very simple. As long as the walls of Wubao are attacked and the two sides engage in close combat, any rumors will be destroyed and the battle will continue to go as originally expected.
However, this is not the case.
The direct siege team encountered fierce resistance. Those people did not need to show their heads at all to pour down the scalding boiling water and throw down the powerful stones. His men were scalded by the boiling water and their skin and flesh were torn apart, and their brains were exploded by the stones.
Bones and tendons were broken, and people kept screaming and falling from the hook ladder.
He Deng also ordered people to use giant logs as battering rams to break down the Wubao gate, but they soon discovered that this was in vain because the inside of the gate seemed to be sealed with bricks and stones.
On the one hand, this conclusion comes from their own experience of being unable to attack, and on the other hand, it comes from what Zhang Xiaoliu said on the loudspeaker in the city.
In less than a stick of incense, He Dong suffered hundreds of casualties. Most of those who were lucky enough to survive were seriously injured. They were not even snatched back by their companions in time, and they wailed and cried under the city wall, facing it alone.
Abandonment and death.
He Dong had no choice but to temporarily retreat his troops and gather momentum to attack again.
When the arrows at the bottom of the city stopped, heads poked out of the arrow stomping holes on the city. Then an incredible scene happened, and then the hooks and ropes hung down one by one.
"Brothers, you have put in your own efforts to attack the city, and some of you even sacrificed your lives, but He Deng has abandoned you here and ignored you. Do you dare to ask if he treats you as brothers by acting like this?
?"
"Once upon a time, I, Zhang Xiaoliu, was like you, lying under the city waiting to die, but now I am not living well... Brothers, hold on, I will rescue you soon..."
"He Deng ignored the lives of all the brothers for his own selfishness. Are you really willing to work for him? Not to mention that you can't capture this Wubao at all. Even if it is captured, how many of you can do it?
Get gold, silver, silk and women..."
Zhang Xiaoliu stood at the top of the city and spoke word by word.
Most of these words were given to him by the scholar named Chen Chong, but there are also his personal things in them. However, these are all inspired by his feelings and do not deviate from the gist of the words Chen Chong gave him.
He was a little nervous at the beginning, stammering when he spoke, and nervously looking at the scholar next to him from time to time, for fear of irritating him with inappropriate words.
But gradually, he became more and more fluent in speaking, so that when he finally looked at the scholar, what he saw was encouraging and approving eyes, and even a thumbs up.
Chen Chang was originally a dead horse doctor, but what he didn't expect was that the bandit prisoner named Zhang Xiaoliu could actually perform exceptionally well. The effect of Zhang Xiaoliu's words was quite obvious.
You can see it in the reaction of the bandits.
Although the die-hard elements under He Dong are desperate to attack the city, most of the bandits are hesitant, hesitant, and at a loss...
Some people have begun to retreat. The originally dense siege team has been cut into two parts by the small moat. The side of the moat near Wubao are He Deng's direct descendants, while most of the non-direct descendants have retreated to the other side of the river.
They did not retreat immediately, but they would not come back again in a short time.
In fact, Chen Chang's attack on the heart was not the first to do so, but he borrowed lessons from Zhao She and Zhao Kuo and his son who had learned from the battle of Maiqiu.
At that time, after Leyi defeated Qi, King Zhao Huiwen ordered Zhao She as a general to attack Maiqiu in Qi. Before that, Zhao Jun had attacked the isolated city of Maiqiu many times, but because Maiqiu had enough food and grass, some of the defenders were good at defending.
The Mohist disciples of the city came to help but failed to capture it. King Huiwen was very angry and ordered Zhao She to capture Maiqiu within a month.
Zhao Jun's army was approaching the border. After a long attack, Zhao She asked the captured prisoners about the situation in the city, but the prisoners remained silent. Zhao Kuo was not angry either. He gave these prisoners food every day and was very polite to them.
They were also given food to take back to the city to feed their families. So, someone among the prisoners quietly told Zhao Kuo that there was not much food in the city, and it was all controlled by the Qi army. The people had long been out of food and had begun to eat people.
p>
So Zhao She followed Zhao Kuo's advice, stopped the attack, and released all the prisoners back. After the prisoners returned, they said that Zhao's army was very polite, did not insult them, let them eat well, and would even bring food back.
General Qi saw that the prisoners had caused a commotion in the city, so he locked them up. The soldiers and the people complained about this. After that, Zhao Jun threw food into the city every day and then returned to the camp to rest without saying anything to the city.
What.
After a few days like this, the Qi army guarding the city sent representatives to send back the grain and told Zhao She that if Zhao Jun wanted to fight, he would come and attack, and not to throw away any more grain.
Zhao She asked him to go back to the city and wait, but he did not attack. He only continued to throw food into the city after a few days. After a few more days, the Qi general who defended the city sent a representative to Yan to choose a day with Zhao She.
There was a decisive battle, but Zhao She listened to Zhao Kuo's advice and refused to meet him. A few days later, Maiqiu's men killed the Qi generals guarding the city and surrendered.
There was some joy in Wei Chuanzheng's eyes, and he said to Chen Chang: "They are already panicking. Even if they attack the city again, it won't be too violent. We finally survived!"
Chen Chang glanced at him and did not answer directly. Instead, he said to the approaching Miss Wang, "What do you think?"
Wang Huan said: "The other side is already in disarray, but to be honest, it is still impossible to split on a large scale. He Dong's next attack will be even more violent than the previous ones. We must be prepared to fight a tough battle.
Prepare..."
Chen Chang looked at He Deng who was shouting at his men in the city, and said calmly: "That's it. The thieves today are no longer what they were when they first confronted us. He Deng will definitely not let us go. He
The big leader named Song behind us will not let us go. Even if He Deng's men are currently divided due to internal strife, we may still face a fierce battle at the moment."
Wei Chuanzheng said worriedly: "But we people may not be able to hold on any longer."
Wei Chuanzheng was not afraid of death, but worried that the strong people would not be able to bear it psychologically. After all, some people even thought that the thieves were about to retreat, and were already running around telling the good news.
If the thieves attack again, I'm afraid many people will collapse.
"We must hold on even if we can't hold on!" Wang Huan's eyes were firm, "If we can't hold on, we will all die!"
Chen Chang looked at the two of them and said: "To be honest, their combat power is far superior to ours. Without this fort, we are just fish on the chopping board. They will definitely fight, but while fighting, He Deng's
Those direct descendants will still worry about whether someone stabs them behind them. And every moment we hold on, their strength will weaken. From now on, we have actually surpassed them in terms of actual combat effectiveness..."
Miss Wang looked at Chen Chang and saw that he was shrouded in a ray of sunshine, the army under the city was in shock, and he was talking.
Her expression was a little dazed. Is this still the timid-looking down-and-out scholar that she saw yesterday?
He Dong temporarily retreated, giving the soldiers and civilians in the city a rare chance to breathe. When everyone heard Chen Langjun talking here, some people began to gather around, and those who were not allowed to leave because they were on duty also pricked up their ears.
Chen Chang gave them a completely different feeling. He didn't speak in a casual way, and he didn't quote scriptures very well. He didn't sound mysterious or obscure.
For these relatively simple villagers, it is easier to understand in straightforward terms. As long as the Wubao is broken, thieves will sleep with their wives, spend their money, beat their children, etc.
, it is far easier to impress them than a passionate and literary statement.
At first, they thought that the backbone of this battle to defend the city was the eldest lady of the Wang family and the guards, but with the appearance of Chen Langjun, it seemed that some things were quietly changing.
The news spread that the bandits who attacked in the secret passage were forced back by the poisonous smoke. The role of Zhang Xiaoliu and other prisoners gradually began to play a role, and the defense mode of the watchtower and the city wall was somewhat unfamiliar but very effective...<
/p>
All of this was done by Chen Langjun.
Speaking of which, these things are not incredible, such as the poisonous smoke, which is often used by ordinary hunters when discovering the caves of beasts, and the one-to-one corresponding digital command mode. The military flags that Wei Chuanzheng knew were compared to
Able to convey more information...
However, neither Wei Chuanzheng nor the villagers with some knowledge thought they could do it in a hurry to arrange all these things one after another.
Chen Langjun's voice is not loud, but he sounds like he has an aura that can easily convince others.
Ma Liang, the personal guard who followed him, was deeply touched by this.
Apart from other things, let’s just talk about Zhang Xiaoliu’s captured thieves. From the beginning, they were as fearful as tigers, to now they obey Chen Langjun’s words. How can such a change not be surprising?
Ma Liang is not very clear about the reasons. He also knows that he cannot understand these things with his head. I am afraid that Wei Chuanzheng and even Captain Zhou may not be able to understand. Maybe in the future, he can only ask the eldest lady to explain his doubts.
Confused.
When Ma Liang was distracted, he heard Chen Xiaolangjun selling his views again.
"For the next wave of attacks, we can no longer accept it forcefully. We must think of some ways. As the saying goes, those who wade in deep water will get the dragon, and those who wade in the shallow water will get the fish and shrimp. The less effort you put in, the more you will gain...
