Chapter 256 Battle Drums
Tens of thousands of people who came to take refuge from all over the country gathered in Wuji County. These people were placed in the city in an orderly manner, and each county had an area of each county to avoid conflict. In addition, Zhao Fengyue, the prime minister of Zhongshan and the county magistrate of Wuji County comforted the people who came to take refuge one by one. In addition, Taishi Ci sent troops to control the situation, tens of thousands of people were safe and sound in the city.
But there are more and more people gathering, with more people and more talkatives, and the daily money and food consumed is very large.
The grain storage in Wuji County is also under tremendous pressure.
Over the past few days, Wuji County has consumed a lot of food, but there is no way to do it, so I can only grit my teeth and endure it. During this period, Zhao Fengyue and the county magistrate walked almost every corner where the people were. Zhao Fengyue lost a lot of weight, his eyes were red, but his eyes were full of energy. Zhao Fengyue vaguely enjoyed this feeling, because every time he went, the people would be grateful to him.
Those in power make meritorious, speak, and be virtuous. Zhao Fengyue is both making meritorious and virtuous.
"Dong!Dong!!"
The war drums rang out in the city, echoing for a long time.
Zhao Fengyue, who was pacifying the people, was shocked when he heard this. He was the prime minister of Zhongshan. He knew the meaning of ringing the war drum and knew that the war was coming. Without time to appease the people, Zhao Fengyue left the county magistrate to appease the people and rushed to the city tower.
On the city tower, Taishici stood solemnly holding a large iron spear.
Outside the city, there are dense troops.
This army was the Gongsun Zan army that came from Hanchang County.
Tens of thousands of troops stood solemnly and lined up neatly.
In addition, you can see the catapults, siege cars, cloud cars, cloud ladders and other siege equipment placed outside the city. It can be seen that Gongsun Zan was fully prepared and wanted to conquer Wuji County in one fell swoop.
The rumbling drums and sobbing horns intersect each other and echo outside the city.
Taishici was not willing to be outdone and ordered the soldiers to beat drums to cheer for their power.
"Come!"
Taishici shouted, and a captain guarding the city arrived.
"General!" the captain clasped his fists.
Taishici said in a deep voice: "Are the equipment to defend the city ready?"
"Everything is ready, please rest assured." The captain looked serious and replied: "This time we are fully prepared. Even if Gongsun Zan wants to attack the city, he will definitely return in a defeat."
There is a strong sense of self-confidence in the words.
"It is a good thing to be confident, but blind confidence is stupid. Be cheer up and deal with it carefully." Taishici stared at the Youzhou soldiers outside the city, his eyes sarcastically, and he didn't know what he was thinking?
Gongsun Zan was wearing a white robe and a white horse with a divine horse under his crotch. He ordered: "Send someone to surrender!"
He is confident that he can break the city, but it is naturally the best to not fight.
The order was conveyed. Soon a civil servant rode a horse out of the military formation. The official rode his horse down the city tower, stared at Taishici on the city tower, raised his voice and said loudly: "Taishici, my lord can't bear to see the miserable creatures in Wuji County. I hope you open the city gate and surrender. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"
Taishici stared at the civil servant downstairs, snorted without replying.
Taishi Ci put down the big iron spear in his hand, ordered the soldiers to get the iron-tied bow, pick up a feather arrow and put it on the bowstring.
"call out!!"
The feather arrow broke through the air and blinked to the civil servant.
Puff!
A single arrow penetrated the chest of the civil servant, and it was instantly fatal.
Gongsun Zan saw the civil servant under his command being killed in front of the military formation. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to tear Taishici apart. He said viciously: "Damn Taishici, do you think I, Gongsun Zan, are you doing it by a clay man? Is it easy to control it? Send the order to attack the city!"
With a command, the front army under his command began to attack.
A dense army rushed towards the city tower.
Zhao Fengyue came to the city tower. As soon as he walked to Taishici, he saw the Youzhou army that was already rushing towards him. Zhao Fengyue was shocked and looked at Taishici and asked, "General Taishi, what should I do?"
"Fight to the death!"
Taishici answered with a cold face.
Zhao Fengyue nodded and pursed her lips.
On the city tower, the soldiers guarding the city were all ready. Seeing that the soldiers under Gongsun Zan were approaching within twenty feet of the city tower, Taishici decisively ordered: "Arrowman, prepare!"
On the city tower, rows of archers were ready.
"put!"
Taishi Ci waved his iron spear, and in an instant, thousands of arrows were fired at once, running towards the army under Gongsun Zan.
"Swoosh!!!"
The bow and arrow shot out, as if a rain of arrows fell, which was spectacular.
The dense rain of arrows fell into the group of soldiers under Gongsun Zan like rain hitting a banana. The arrow tips were sharp and sharp. Although they were not aimed at random, the crowd was too dense. The bows and arrows shot into the dense crowd and easily shot the charging soldiers. The arrow tips tear their clothes, broke into their skin, entered the soldiers' bodies, and took away the lives of soldiers.
In an instant, a large number of soldiers fell down.
The feather arrows on the city tower attacked strongly, but they could not stop the impetus of the soldiers under Gongsun Zan.
Waves of soldiers followed one after another, rushing towards the city tower.
As the distance narrowed, the soldiers rushed to the city. At this time, cloud chariots drove slowly, and ladders were placed on the city tower. At the same time, siege cars were transported over immediately, and countless soldiers launched fierce attacks on the city tower.
"Prepare the wood and put it!"
Round of wood rolled down from the city tower and hit the siege soldiers.
Each squat is very thick, one foot in diameter and about one foot in length.
Not only that, sharp iron nails were worn around each of the woods. In addition, the woods themselves were strongly sank. After rolling down from the city tower, the iron nails that kept turning hit the soldiers, either dead or injured. The soldiers who were smashed to death were no longer suffering, and the non-dead were scratched by the iron nails, and immediately flew with flesh and blood, and their hobbies were screaming.
"Pull oil, pour!"
A rustling sound came out, and the boiling oil that was steaming steam fell from the city tower. In an instant, the tilted oil everywhere was like the tilting river of heaven, splashing on the siege soldiers.
"Squeeze!Squeeze!!!"
When the boiling oil was poured on his body, it immediately made a whispering sound, and any of the boiling oil was splashed on his body had bubbles.
The soldiers screamed and jumped like they were playing with monkeys, and the situation was miserable.
"Prepare the Rockets!"
A group of soldiers holding rockets emerged, and these soldiers aimed at the place where the wood and boiling oil fell.
"put!"
The order was issued, and rockets fell and shot into the soldiers, and also hit the squash and boiling oil that fell on the ground. With a shout, the squash and squash and the dry squash and splashed with squash also burned.
Under the city tower, a sea of fire soon became a sea of fire.
The burnt smell, the thick smoke filled the air.
All this failed to stop the Youzhou soldiers under Gongsun Zan's command.
Soon, soldiers rushed up to the city tower.
Taishici carried a big gun and rushed wherever there were many enemies coming.
"kill!"
The gun trembled like a dragon shuttled through, brushing across the necks of Youzhou soldiers. Taishi Ci kept rushing, his body was covered with blood, and the soldiers guarding the city fought bravely to kill the enemy. The soldiers who rushed up were knocked down and rushed up soon, and this was repeated almost all the time.
"Boom! Boom!"
Large stones flew from outside the city and smashed onto the city tower.
Standing on the city tower, you can feel the shaking of the city tower, as if the city tower would collapse at any time. However, this cannot stop Taishici's determination to resist to the death, and he cannot surrender even if he dies.
The war continued, and at noon, the sound of the gongs of the sound of the gold and the withdrawal of troops finally came outside the city.
Chapter completed!
