"Send the order, send troops immediately..." Chang Yu shouted loudly while galloping. Suddenly, he pulled the reins fiercely, looked at Zhengnan and fell into silence, and then a sneer appeared on his face!
I almost got fooled!
Chang Yu chuckled, turned his horse's head and returned to the South Gate City: "Send the order for Commander Zhou to come over immediately."
"Sir, General Zhou wants you to mobilize troops to Fuchengmen immediately!" At this moment, a messenger came panting and riding.
Chang Yu chuckled and shook his head slightly: "Quickly call General Zhou, only mobile manpower is left in Xicheng, the rest are mobilized here!"
The messenger was stunned!
"Hurry up and go!" Chang Yu yelled, and the orderly soldier trembled, got on his horse, and galloped away!
"Huang Lai'er, I know you are hiding down there." Chang Yu looked at the dark night sky in the south of the city and sneered!
Once the drama is over, the flaw will be exposed!
It’s too dark in the south of the city!
If the bandit army were to attack from the west city, they would definitely have flanking assists. But except for some small movements in the east city, the south city was unusually quiet, and it was too dark. What was hidden in the darkness!
Huang Lai'er, show your real fangs!
Chang Yu took a rocket, put it on his iron bow, shouted with all his strength, and pulled it to the full string.
With a whooshing sound, the firelight brushed against the night sky, flew far away, and landed on the moat.
Niu Yong and others next to him couldn't help but tremble, and goosebumps fell to the ground. They saw a dark and dense band of thieves lying on the moat, and they were so dense that it was terrifying to see!
Chang Yu made the right bet!
Li Zicheng finally positioned the South Gate as the main attack point. One afternoon, he led the officers and soldiers around the city like walking a dog. In addition to responding to the artillery fire from the officers and soldiers on the city, he also used it to confuse the enemy and induce the defenders to make mistakes in their judgment.
When it got dark, they deliberately lit only a few torches to draw the attention of the officers and soldiers on the city with cannon fodder. However, the main force quietly returned to the south gate and lurked, waiting for the battle in the west city to attract all the attention of the officers and soldiers. Suddenly,
Attack fiercely from the South Gate. At that time, it would be too late for the officers and soldiers to mobilize troops or heavy weapons!
This strategy can be described as cunning, and it was carried out step by step, and it also achieved results. However, at this time, someone unexpectedly broke the situation and had to launch a general attack in advance.
"Do it!"
Li Zicheng roared from behind the thief camp. Since it had been exposed in advance, there was no need to hide it. Most of the thief army's troops and heavy weapons had been transferred to Fucheng Gate in the west city.
At this time, Nancheng's troops are weak, which is a good time to attack the city. Maybe by the time the officers and soldiers react and bring those big guys here, his men and horses will have already captured the South Gate!
Following his angry shout, the drums outside the South City shook the sky, and the sound of killing arose. Countless bandit troops roared towards the South Gate. The cannon fodder who had originally been ambushing the moat set up ladders to climb the city and pushed the siege vehicles.
Go straight to the city wall and the city gate. On the moat that has been frozen again behind you, there is a dark area that stretches for several miles, full of thieves' figures.
Hahaha, Chang Yu laughed wildly on the top of the city: "Intruder, you have fallen into the trap" and shouted: "Brothers, give me a blast!"
Immediately, on the south city, every fifty meters, a total of ten artillery began to roar, the shells fell into the swarming rebel camp, and the ground shook...
Haven't all the artillery of the officers and soldiers been transferred to the West City? Why are there still so many in the South City at this time?
Are there many artillery pieces hidden in Taiyuan City?
When the artillery roared and lit up the night sky, Li Zicheng was extremely shocked!
of course not!
Taiyuan City only has ten artillery pieces at this time!
The cannons that the bandits saw the officers and soldiers moving back and forth on the city all afternoon were nothing more than wood that was as thick as the barrels!
Chang Yu had an idea at that time and ordered the soldiers to reverse the direction of the cannon barrels and hide them in the inner city wall. Instead, they placed wood on the carts to coordinate with the bandit army's "exhausted running back and forth" performance.
The real cannon doesn't move at all. At this time, you only need to adjust the muzzle to bombard!
The power of a cannon in the dark is not its lethality, but its deterrence!
Especially those rebel soldiers who originally saw that there were only two cannons in Nancheng suddenly changed and became uneasy.
Li Zicheng did not think through the key for a while, but so what if there were a few more cannons, it would not have much impact on the entire battle situation. Before the main force of officers and soldiers was mobilized, attacking the city was the top priority.
The moat was only three miles away from the city wall. The bandit army launched a charge and arrived in a blink of an eye. The nearest one was already only a hundred meters away from the city wall.
Seeing the thieves below the city howling and fighting towards them, Chang Yu yelled a few times: "Brilliant guy!"
There was a roar, and the officers and soldiers hiding behind rushed to the battlements, raised their bows and fired. Dozens of trebuchets behind them also started quickly. For a moment, stones and flying arrows filled the sky like a pouring rain, and the people charging below the city
The rebel army suffered countless casualties in an instant, and fled back in panic.
Whether it was a bow or arrow or a trebuchet, within a hundred steps there was an excellent killing range. This wave of counterattack instantly caused the rebels' charging formation to be completely thrown into chaos.
This sudden change made Li Zicheng momentarily stunned. Although the lights on the city were dim and he could not see clearly, this powerful counterattack was definitely not something that the few men and horses he had seen could do. It would require a large force and many trebuchets.
Do it!
Damn it! I fell into a trap!
Li Zicheng yelled. At this time, he finally realized that he had been busy all afternoon in vain. He thought he was walking the dog, but in fact, someone else was walking him in the dark!
What he couldn't bear more than the blow he suffered from falling into the trap was the humiliation and the crushing of his IQ!
At this time, the thieves realized that all their pride in the afternoon was a joke, and now they looked like retards!
That's right, Chang Yu's soldiers and horses had almost never left the South Gate. They cooperated for a while during the day, and when the sky darkened, they had already quietly withdrawn.
Li Zicheng was not the only one who knew how to play tricks under the light. Chang Yu had already determined that Li Zicheng was going to play dirty as early as when he discovered that there were too few torches in the bandit army in the city.
But he almost deceived Chang Yu. After all, he had a lot of cannon fodder. He transferred them around, but the number never changed. It was just that the main force had secretly infiltrated Chen Cang. This couldn't be easily distinguished from the city. There was no flaw.
So at first, when the rebels attacked Xicheng, Chang Yu suspected that he had made a mistake in his judgment and became panicked. You must know that the main force of officers and soldiers and the most important defense equipment were in Nancheng at that time, and Xicheng was just an empty frame. How could he not panic?
Fortunately, at that moment, he suddenly discovered something fishy.
"So what if we were prepared in advance. This Taiyuan City is not made of iron. I don't believe we can't defeat it!" Liu Zongmin roared, got on his horse, and led his troops straight towards Taiyuan City.
"Stand back and chop!"
Outside the moat, Hao Yaoqi, Gao Yigong, Zhang Nai, Liu Tichun, Ren Jirong, Gu Ying, Gu Kecheng and other bandit leaders were giving orders to their subordinates.
Li Zicheng was determined to defeat Taiyuan City, mobilized his generals, and gathered all the main forces to attack the South Gate. As for the flanks, Bai Guangen and Chen Yongfu led the old, weak, sick and cannon fodder to pretend to attack the east and west cities.
"Archers, come on, trebuchets, trebuchets... and artillery, let me blast them..." Li Guo shouted angrily from his horse to command the overall situation. At this time, although the rebel army was in a panic by the officers and soldiers, there were still some
Many people have already touched the city wall. At this time, the intensity of the attack must be increased, and they must push forward in one go.
The archers of the rebel army had already begun to counterattack on the city, and the trebuchets were also pushed across the river. However, the artillery was too heavy to cross the river and could only be fired from the river bank, but its range was enough to hit Taiyuan City.
In fact, although the two armies were fighting fiercely, it was almost a smear campaign. After all, it was late at night, and the darkness could hide. Whoever showed the light was the target. If the rebels below the city could not light the torches, the officers and soldiers on the city would naturally know it.
reason.
But in general, the officers and soldiers still took advantage. Not to mention being condescending, they fired a lot of rockets. At this time, the city was completely open, and almost all the targets of the rebels appeared.
"The thieves are leaning against the wall!" someone shouted at this time. Chang Yu looked around and saw that thieves carrying ladders had already rushed to the city wall and started to set up ladders to climb the wall.
Damn it! Chang Yu yelled, took out his two-stone bow, and fired at the city. The arrows were all fired, and the thieves below the city fell down in response.
The Divine Arrow team led by the ligament on the side and the men of Tengxiang Guard also kept shooting at the city.
Boom, boom, boom, there were several loud noises in succession. Chang Yu suddenly felt his body shake, and he knew that the rebel artillery had hit the city wall.
"Niu Yong, ask someone to blow away the rebel army's artillery!" Chang Yu shouted.
In fact, it is easy to negotiate a peace to knock out the rebel artillery. Firstly, the enemy is hidden in the darkness outside the moat. Secondly, it is not easy to move the muzzle of the cannon on the city and aim at it.
"Hook, hook, hit with stones..." Chang Yu shouted anxiously as he saw more and more siege ladders leaning against the city wall, and countless thieves climbing up with knives without their lives.
In fact, without his order, the officers and soldiers with rich experience in actual combat had already taken action. They took out long poles with hooks and hooked the ladders of the rebels, pushing them away or pulling them down diagonally. The soldiers nearby who cooperated with each other in tacit understanding lifted the rolling stones and slammed them at them.
The destructive power of rolling stones and wood is much greater than that of bows and arrows. A bow and arrow can kill one at most, but a big stone can kill several, and if it happens to hit the ladder, it will be the end of the nest!
On a night of dark moon and high wind, the two armies fought fiercely. The sound of drums, artillery fire and the sound of killing could be heard for more than ten miles.
The officers and soldiers on the city used all means, including artillery to attack the rear camp of the rebels, trebuchets to attack the middle section, and bows and arrows to shoot at the front. As for the rebels who had touched the city wall, they used wood, rolling stones and gold soup to deal with it...
The rebels were not naive in their methods. They kept adjusting their cannon muzzles to bombard the city wall. The trebuchets had already crossed the river and started to counterattack as the army approached the city wall. The archers also provided organized firepower to cover the rebels who boarded the city...
For a time, the two sides fought extremely fiercely and evenly. The officers and soldiers were tightly defended, but the rebels attacked fiercely and attacked the three gates with multiple forces. Although the east and west wings were only feigning attacks, they were able to contain the strength of the officers and soldiers and distract some attention.
force.
