The city tower is both a command center and the backbone of the city defense system. It is often made of large stones and huge trees. It is an extremely strong fortress, but it seems that it is not safe here today. The Song army did not know what weapons it used. It is said that it is a bed crossbow and is much more powerful than it is. It is said that it is a stone thrower, but it is much more accurate. It simply means to hit wherever it is. In just a few breaths, the front of the city tower was riddled with holes. Several thick pillars were hit one after another, cracking a few finger-wide cracks, as if it would break it with one foot.
'puff!'
‘Ah…’ Seeing that the city tower was no longer there, Liang Xiongfei moved out under the escort of his personal soldiers, but as soon as he went out, a spear flew over there, and the big shield covered with two layers of cowhide was penetrated like a piece of paper. Yu Jin's spear was inserted into the chest of the shield-holding soldier and nailed it to the door post. Fortunately, he was not dead yet. He looked at the still trembling gun body and howled in horror.
"Go away, go down the city!" Liang Xiongfei tried his best to lower his body and hide behind the shield wall and move down the city. He realized that there was no safe place on the city. The battlements built with heavy bricks could not stop the stone bullets shot by the enemy, let alone those war sheds, which had been smashed down long ago. Now only the city behind is still safe for the time being.
"Don't escape, go back and shoot arrows, and never let the Song army go up to the city." Liang Xiongfei moved under the flying rain of arrows and stone bullets to the female wall behind the horse road, and then he felt a little relieved, but there were less than ten personal soldiers who were guarding him, and the rest fell on this road less than thirty steps. At this time, a group of soldiers also fled over and wanted to follow the city. He drew his sword and scolded him fiercely.
"General, you can't stop it, run away quickly!" a soldier said in a panic.
"Those who retreat, kill!" Liang Xiongfei slashed down with a knife, chopping down the head of the strong soldier, and shouted. The personal soldiers went up and chopped down a few more people, which scared the deserters coming from behind and bombed them back to the city. But the people went back, but they all hugged behind the wall and didn't dare to show off, let alone counterattack.
‘Bang bang…’ The stone bombs that were shot up the city continued to fall, even if they did not hit people. The cracked fragments splattered everywhere, but could still make people beat their heads and blood. Listening to the sound of hitting the shield was really heartbroken. Liang Xiongfei felt that this place was not very safe, and he was wondering if he would hide in the door hole.
"The Liang thief. The king's army has arrived and surrender, otherwise you will be told to keep your armor!" Suddenly, the shooting stopped under the city, but there were screams and scolding.
"Go and see. Are you going to attack the city?" Liang Xiongfei did not dare to move. He was worried that the enemy was cheating and ordered a personal soldier to go and inspect.
"General, tens of thousands of people have gathered under the city, and the pontoon bridge has been laid, as if it is about to prepare to attack the city." The personal soldiers were also afraid of death, so he ran a few steps and lay down under the chassis and took a look and reported back.
"Let everyone in the city go to the city to prepare to roll wood and stones. You must not let the enemy go to the city. Do they really think that I, Liang, are easy to bully?" The screams and scoldings from the city rose and fell. Liang Xiong flew upwards and said viciously.
"Yes!" The personal soldiers went down to pass the order. Liang Xiongfei stood up and took two steps to the city, but retreated again. After walking towards the city tower, he summoned the generals to discuss the matter and prepared to hold an on-site meeting...
After a while, the generals arrived and saw the deaths and wounded on the city, blood was flowing everywhere. In addition, the shaking city tower was not very good-looking, and this was just a round of two armies that had not yet met. The faces of the main general Liang Xiongfei looked ashen and it was as dark as it could rain. But everyone understood it. He had greeted all the eighth generation of ancestors and all the women, but he could not say anything back. Naturally, his mood would not be much better, so he was careful and did not dare to speak loudly.
"Mr. Li Qian, what's the loss?" Someone asked the guard of the South Gate softly.
"Oh. I have damaged more than 200 people in just this time, and the city walls and war sheds have been destroyed. I don't know what to do below!" Mr. Li Qian sighed and said, "Brother Zhang, you have never heard of war on your side, and you will have to support me!"
"Oh, I can't go much better. Thousands of enemy troops gathered outside the East Gate. They are also preparing equipment. I'm afraid they will attack the city after a while. I don't know if I can defend it." The guardian of the East Gate looked bad, and sighed.
"Oh!" The two of them suddenly heard someone sighing heavily and asked anxiously, "Mr. Sun Qian, aren't you still calm there?"
"Don't mention, it's not good for me. The thousand-killed salt men not only helped the enemy to capture Chicheng, but also colluded with their accomplices in the city to attack the city gate. Fortunately, they had already been killed by me. But there were strong enemies outside and unstable inside. I don't know how long it would take to defend." The Ximen Guard also said helplessly, "I don't know which army came, and so many people gathered? There were hundreds of warships and tens of thousands of soldiers."
"Yes, after coming for so many days, I have never heard of any powerful force that could gather tens of thousands of people!" Mr. Zhang Qian was also confused.
"In my opinion, it is not the local tyrant, but the Yiwang Army. The troops under the city are rigorous and well-known, and they are not like the mobs composed of rural villagers." Mr. Zhang Qian said in a low voice again.
"I think so. You see, there are no three large ships moored in the sea, like imperial boats." Mr. Li Qian nodded in agreement.
"Ah?! Then it's because of the imperial commander-in-chief, Guangzhou is determined to achieve it!" Mr. Sun Qian's face changed drastically.
"Well, although the court has been defeated repeatedly, there are still 300,000 soldiers in its hands. If we try our best to attack the city, how can we stop it?" Mr. Zhang Qian was already ashamed and glanced at Liang Xiongfei and said.
"Yes, those Red Army Exploring Horses are showing off their power and are invincible, and they think they are invincible. They are killed in a mess." Mr. Li Qian shook his head and sighed.
"There are rumors in the city now that it is said that there is a master who has the ability to move mountains and seas. He summoned meteors to fall into the camp and smashed them all to death. He has the virtue of being a virtuous person and cannot bear to hurt the people in the city. Only then did he temporarily save the city. If this continues, we are afraid that we will be doomed." Mr. Sun Qian said mysteriously.
"Brothers, Pei Jing, a family of a certain family, has returned to the court anyway, and has been named the ruler, with a bounty of 1,000 taels..." The three people were whispering, and suddenly heard that the city was quiet for a moment, but someone called the city.
"It must be because this guy opened the Shui Pass and let the enemy enter, which made our city surrounded and wait for the Sa family to shoot him!" Mr. Li Qian was angry and said hatefully.
"Brother Li, wait, listen to what he said!" Mr. Zhang Qian grabbed him and said.
"Brothers, the Tartars have run away, don't work for them. The court will bring tens of thousands of soldiers to seize the city, you can't stop it. Your Highness has issued an edict: Those who offer the city will not blame them for the past, and will be rewarded with a thousand taels; those who kill the thieves of Liang will be given a title and a bonus of two thousand taels; those who resist will wait for the city to be destroyed and the family property will be confiscated, and their families will be given an official..."
"Shoot, shoot arrows... kill this traitor!" Liang Xiongfei ordered loudly without waiting for Pei Jing to finish shouting.
"Are you going to disobey?" After shouting for a long time, no one moved. The soldiers looked at him with strange eyes. Liang Xiongfei suddenly felt cold in his neck and held the hilt of the knife in his hand and shouted. He secretly scolded him for being such a bullshit. The one who offered the city rewarded a thousand taels, but the one who killed himself was promoted and rewarded two thousand taels. Compared with Xiancheng, killing himself would definitely have a low risk and a high return!
"Shoot the arrows, let the arrows!" It was thought that Liang Xiongfei's remaining power was still there, General Li Qian hesitated and ordered his subordinates to shoot arrows, while the others sat down again in disappointment.
"General, the general's big business is not good!" As soon as this side calmed down, another person ran up to the city panting and shouted.
"What's wrong? The enemy has attacked the Northern City!" Liang Xiongfei knew that the visitor was a centurion guarding the sect, so he asked anxiously.
"General, no... no. It's because the prefect Zhao wanted to open the city gate to Yingde to take office. Mr. Huang Qian refused and argued. He ordered his subordinates to forcibly rush to the pass. The fight has already started. Mr. Qian asked his subordinates to ask the general to go!" The hundred households finally made everyone understand what was going on.
"This guy didn't take office early or late, but he wanted to leave the city to besiege the enemy. Wouldn't he have to use the same trick again and open the city to surrender to the enemy?" Zhang Qian said angrily. Zhao Ruogang, the magistrate of Fanyu, secretly opened the city gate and offered the city. After rebelling against Song and surrendering to the enemy, he was named Yingde's prefect, but he disliked that there was not as prosperous as Guangzhou, so he stayed in Guangzhou for a long time. But now he returned to the north of the Yuan army. When the Song army besieged the city, he had to force out of the city. How could people not doubt his ulterior motives?
"Is there an enemy outside the city?" Liang Xiongfei raised his hand to silence everyone and asked the hundred households.
"General, there is no enemy brigade yet, only a small team of scouts explore the city!" Baihu reported.
"It's okay!" Liang Xiongfei said after hearing this, turning around and going down to the city.
"General, General..." Seeing that he said such an inexplicable thing and was about to leave, everyone shouted anxiously.
"Oh, you each defend the city. I'll go and deal with it and go back!" Liang Xiongfei then seemed to remember that there were people in the city waiting for his orders, and said with a face turned around, then he took a team of personal soldiers down the city and drove away.
"He doesn't want to abandon the city and escape, right?" Mr. Zhang Qian said in confusion as he looked at Liang Xiongfei's back as he gradually moved away.
"Damn it, he can't go much better. I want us to be scapegoats!" Mr. Sun Qian said angrily.
"We should make plans early to avoid being idle!" Mr. Li Qian said with a sneer, and then turned around and left...
At this moment, the Song army, who had ineffective persuasion, attacked again, and the navy soldiers also dropped off the boat to participate in the siege. For a moment, people were like tides, war drums were roaring, arrows were like rain, and terrifying crossbows were fired again. The three city gates in the east, south and west were almost at the same time. The war between the South Gate was the most intense. Not long after the battle, hundreds of casualties had been killed or killed. Ding Zhuang, who assisted in defending the city, could no longer hold on, jumped into the city and fled, and the troops were immediately tight. The Song army took the opportunity to rush to the city and began to break the door. The sound of the "dongdong" hitting the door was terrifying.
"Liangcheng guards out of North City and escapes!"
"Escape quickly, the heavenly soldiers have entered the city!"
