Chapter 2233 Shen Tu destroys food (3)(1/2)
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The fighting of hundreds of people did not make much noise in the extremely vast Shuofeng City, and the shouts of killing were only sparse.
But the Yan army, who was surrounded by the Liang army, began to set fires everywhere, creating as much chaos as possible, and their brains were still good.
The gradually rising fire is also a signal to the Yan army outside the city to attack the city.
"Woo~wu~wu~"
"The army assembles!"
Accompanied by bursts of shrill horn sounds, the Yan army outside the city finally moved.
Torches, braziers, and fire racks lit up one after another, illuminating half of the night sky.
Unknowingly, the Yan army had already arrived in formation outside the city and set up their posture.
"The Yan army is attacking!"
"Beat the drum! Get ready to meet the enemy!"
"Boom! Boom!"
"The entire army is on alert!"
"Dong dong dong!"
The rapid drumbeats echoed through the sky, making the quiet night completely restless.
Countless Liang soldiers rushed to the top of the city, rows of archers and crossbowmen were waiting in formation, and a murderous aura enveloped the night sky.
The Yan army did not carry out operations once or twice at night. The defenders had long been accustomed to it, and all actions to defend the city were carried out step by step.
Outside the city, Tuoba Hong appeared in the army formation, fully clothed and holding a spear in his hand, his sharp eyes shooting straight towards the city head.
There were faint shouts of killing in the city. It was obvious that the five hundred dead soldiers led by Morcha had already fought against the Liang army and were trying their best to make a noise.
Dong Emulang on the side looked at the orderly defenders on the city wall and praised:
"It's Liang Jun after all. He doesn't seem to be panicking at all."
As the future leader of the Dong'e clan, he rarely visits the scene in person.
This was Dong Emulang's first time standing in such a forward position, and Liang Jun's performance made him subconsciously praise him a few times.
Tuoba Hong glanced at the city head expressionlessly and said:
"Are you all ready?"
"Um."
Dong Emulang nodded slightly: "All the fire oil tanks have been placed and are just waiting to be lit.
General Tuoba, shall we take action now?"
"Need not."
Tuoba Hong shook his head calmly:
"It's not time yet, just wait."
The conversation between the two was very mysterious. What is ready? What fire oil jar?
Most of the Yan army generals still don't know their plan tonight.
But they knew that there must be a big battle tonight, because a total of 30,000 people with the Silver Leopard Flag on a black background had assembled and were forming formation.
This is an unprecedented move!
The endless cavalry stood quietly in the night, full of murderous intent~
Tuoba Hong squinted his eyes and waved his hand casually:
"Send the order, catapult attack, first find out the details of Liang's army."
"promise!"
More than ten cavalry messengers galloped out from the central general's platform, arrived at the catapult formation, and shouted angrily:
"General's order, catapult attack!"
"General's order! Prepare to throw stones!"
Waves of angry shouts echoed in the army, and the sturdy men guarding the catapult immediately started to move.
"ignition!"
"Throw stones to light fire! Get ready~"
"Hoo ho ho!"
"put!"
"Bang bang bang!"
As the hammer fell, huge balls of fire were thrown out with dazzling light.
The firelight drew brilliant arcs in the air, mixed with endless murderous intent, and crashed into the city.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Ahhhh~"
"Catapult, release!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Don't mess around! Put out the fire!"
"Catapult counterattack!"
"put!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Although the fierce offensive made the top of Shuofeng City extremely noisy and many soldiers were injured, the Liang army responded in an orderly manner and counterattacked without showing any weakness.
There are also catapults set up by the Liang army on the back of the city wall of Shuofeng City, and they can still attack the Yan army's position.
Throwing stones at each other, who is afraid of whom?
But what puzzled the Liang soldiers and generals was that these Yan troops were only interested in throwing stones and did not seem to have any intention of sending troops to attack the city.
What are you doing?
There were many figures in the archery tower somewhere at the top of the city. Several high-ranking generals, including Zhu Tianhe, all appeared here, paying close attention to the Yan army's offensive.
Originally, Ning Mofan and Mei Yushu firmly disagreed with Zhu Tianhe going to the city in person, but they couldn't handle the old general's stubborn personality, so they had to let him go to the city.
In desperation, not only Zhu Tianhe came, but also Xuesong, a scholar from Shuozhou, claimed that he could go wherever General Zhu could go.
Xuesong had obviously just woken up from his sleep, and was only wearing a single gown.
Several people looked coldly outside the city. There were countless Yan soldiers hidden in the endless firelight, which always gave people a suffocating and oppressive feeling.
Ning Mofan muttered to himself:
"The Yan army won't attack the city? What are they waiting for?"
The dead soldiers of the Yan army who sneaked into the city have already fought with the Liang army. At this time, the Yan army should attack the city in a large scale and cooperate with the inside and the outside.
Zhu Tianhe stood by the window of the archery tower and glanced outside the city with a frown. The dust thrown up by the falling stones not far away did not make the general's eyelids twitch. He was very calm.
Zhu Tianhe turned around and asked:
"How is the situation at Li Muhan's place?"
"Reply to the general!"
Ning Mofan cupped his fists and shouted:
"The Yan army made three tunnels and sneaked into the city. Li Muhan was leading his troops to fight fiercely. Now the Yan army was heavily surrounded and the army was dividing to surround and kill.
But according to the reports of the soldiers on the scene, the Yan troops entering the city are all elites with amazing combat power. I'm afraid it will take some effort to pack them up."
Mei Yushu on the side added:
"Shuofeng camp has mobilized a thousand cavalry to rush to various places, and will not give the Yan army any opportunity to take advantage of it."
Xuesong nodded slightly, it seemed that the situation was stable.
Zhu Tianhe looked coldly, first looked at the fireballs in the sky outside the city, and then looked at the fires that were ignited one after another in the city, and said coldly:
"Something is wrong!"
Several people looked at each other:
"What's wrong?"
So far everything is still under their control.
Zhu Tianhe said with concentration:
"Tuoba Hong is an old rival of our Liang Army. No matter how elite a few hundred people are, they will never be able to break through our city defenses.
To be continued...
