The first thousand and sixty-three chapters show the enemy to be weak
Chapter 1063 Showing weakness to the enemy
As a marching general, Lu Bu could naturally feel the morale of the soldiers. These more than 10,000 people could no longer continue, and they might collapse if they charged.
When the military order was issued, the soldiers in the back carried the ladders and launched a charge, while the soldiers in the front row immediately retreated back as if they had received an amnesty.
"Shoot the arrows and don't let them escape."
Seeing the enemy retreating, a camp commander directly ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows at the retreating enemies.
"Pause shooting, rest, and wait for the enemy to come up."
Chang Lin immediately ordered a suspension of the attack. Now is not the time to pursue results. When the time is up, it is better to let the soldiers rest temporarily. The enemy's second wave of attacks has been launched, and they must be recuperated.
"promise."
After hearing Chang Lin's order, the shooting arrows stopped immediately, and the remaining soldiers of Lu Bu's army retreated hastily and exited the first battlefield.
"kill."
It didn't take long for the second batch of 20,000 troops to attack fiercely. Countless ladders and three cranes were already approaching the moat.
"Let them cross the moat, ensure shooting accuracy, and strive to kill one person with one arrow."
Seeing the enemy charging towards them, Chang Lin directly ordered the soldiers to postpone the attack and wait until they were close before attacking.
"Go ahead."
"kill."
"attack."
Seeing that no bows and arrows were fired from the city wall, the soldiers below the city became excited, roared and rushed towards the city wall.
"Fire the arrow."
Seeing the enemy charging at him like a vicious dog, Chang Lin smiled slightly and shot the bow and arrow in his hand directly.
As soon as he made a move, the soldiers who were waiting on the city wall also took action instantly. For a while, a continuous barrage of bows and arrows was like a heavy rain, falling from the sky and pouring on the heads of the siege soldiers.
Countless people were shot to the ground by a hail of arrows in an instant. The Jiaozhou Army, which was still full of momentum before, seemed to have hit a wall of air and was immediately stagnated.
"Keep rushing, don't stop."
Seeing that the army was stunned by the enemy's arrows, Lu Bu directly ordered to continue the attack.
"kill."
After hearing Lu Bu's order, the Jiaozhou Army who had just been stunned also reacted and continued to attack the city wall with a loud roar.
"Split arrows."
Arrows continued to rain down, killing the soldiers in front while blocking the reinforcements behind them.
Although Chang Lin's men are large and tenacious, Lu Bu's troops and horses in the attack this time are twice as many as before, and there are also Lou Che's attacks. It is still difficult to repel the enemy.
"The truck is accelerating."
To be honest, Lu Bu didn't expect those ladders to capture the city at all. What he really hoped for was the five carriages following them. As long as the carriages could reach the bottom of the city, it would be impossible to defend the city.
"The carriages are about to come up. Prepare the city guard's crossbow. Kill their carriages for me."
When Chang Lin saw the enemy's chariots rushing towards him, he immediately ordered the city defense crossbows that had been prepared to fire. He still had to rely on these tough guys to deal with the chariots.
For a time, the crossbows of the city defenders fired their strings one after another, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows were divided into three teams to attack the enemy's carriages.
The power of crossbows is still much stronger than that of bows and arrows, and the existence of city-defending crossbows is actually to deal with siege equipment such as louche. When an unprepared louche faced such an attack, there were two towers on the spot.
The car was torn into pieces.
"People on both sides attack the city wall with all their strength, cover the building's carriage, and cover the building's carriage."
Seeing the two carriages being shot and exploded, Lu Bu had nothing to say. He could only hope that his soldiers could put enough pressure on the enemy to cover the carriages and successfully climb the city wall.
Lu Bu's soldiers and horses were like a dark cloud, attacking Fengyang City Wall along countless ladders.
"Hold the enemy and don't let them come up,"
Chang Lin watched more and more enemies swarming up, and directly commanded the soldiers to go all out to suppress the enemies below the city.
The soldiers of the Jiaozhou Army climbed the city wall with steel knives in their teeth, but they were shot to death by arrows as soon as they took a few steps. Even if they were fast enough to take a few more steps, they would be picked down directly by spears, and they would not know whether they would live or die.
.
The bloody offensive and defensive battle began again. Lu Bu's army relied on its large number and was not afraid of life and death to attack crazily.
Although Fengyang City's guards were much smaller than them, relying on Fengyang City's perfect defense gave Lu Bu's troops no chance to enter the city.
Only one of Lu Bu's supporting carriages was still being supported by coolies, and the remaining four had all been shot to pieces by Chang Lin's soldiers.
"Stop firing the city guard's crossbows and let the enemy's chariots approach the city wall."
Looking at the corpses on the ground below the city, Chang Lin suddenly gave the order to preserve the enemy's carriages.
"Captain, why do you want to suspend the attack?
You can't let the truck over."
After hearing Chang Lin's order, everyone was confused. Why would he let the enemy's carts get closer to the city wall if he was fighting well? Didn't he know how much danger this would cause to the city wall?
"Idiot, what we have to do is not to capture the enemy, but to drag the enemy here. Now if the enemy can't get close and the enemy loses hope, then how can we delay it."
Chang Lin shook his head slightly. They fought too hard. With such skill, at least four to five thousand enemies died in the two waves. If the fight continued like this, he was really afraid that Lu Bu would escape.
"But if they really allow their people to go up on the streetcars, they won't be able to defend it."
A village chief glanced at Chang Lin. He knew how many people he had. Although they killed a lot of enemies, they also suffered hundreds of casualties. There were only more than 1,500 people left from more than 2,000 people. If they were released,
When the enemy's truck came over, it must be said that it was a dangerous move.
"It's okay, order the kerosene to be prepared. Once the resistance is no longer strong, set off the kerosene immediately. Burn the buildings and carts first, and then burn the soldiers below the city. There is still a way to save the city wall."
Chang Lin glanced at the village commander and directly stated his countermeasures. Even if he really couldn't stop the enemy, it didn't matter. He also had a trump card. At the very least, he could ensure that the city wall would not be lost.
"promise."
After hearing Chang Lin's explanation, the village chief felt relieved. He was right. With the kerosene, at least the city wall would not be lost, there would be no problem.
For a moment, the soldiers and horses on the city wall seemed to have forgotten the chariot coming towards the city wall, letting him wander to the edge of the city wall.
"General, the truck has arrived and the truck has reached the city wall."
The carriage reached the city wall, and someone immediately reported the news to Lu Bu, who was commanding from behind.
"Okay, tell the soldiers to attack the city wall through the building cart immediately. I will take them down in one fell swoop."
Lu Bu also saw it. He had already seen how many soldiers and horses there were on the city wall. Although the enemy's defense was very tenacious, the number of people was not large. There were only 1,500 or 600 people at most. A car was killing them.
, it’s enough for him.
Without hesitation, Lu Bu rode his horse directly to the carriage. Seeing the soldiers running past the carriage towards the city wall at high speed, he couldn't help but nodded.
Although most of these troops are new recruits, they have also grown up after the Bucheon Night Battle. It is not easy for them to still maintain a strong will to fight until now.
"Ready the crossbow and fire it."
Nearly a hundred soldiers were divided into two teams on the left and right, with countless crossbows at their feet. Their task was to use these single-shot crossbows to block the passage of the building and carriage.
Letting you get close to the city wall does not mean giving up the city wall. These crossbows are just a side dish prepared by Chang Lin for the enemy.
One hundred soldiers fired their crossbows alternately. After shooting, they threw them directly on the ground. They picked up the crossbows at their feet and continued shooting at the Jiaozhou soldiers who came through the building and carriage.
Poor Jiaozhou soldiers thought that this cart was an opportunity to take down the city wall, but what they faced was a purgatory. Even the soldiers holding shields could not withstand close range crossbow fire.
A wave of Jiaozhou soldiers rushed forward and were shot to death, and then another wave was shot to death. In the blink of an eye, the front of the truck turned into a sea of corpses.
"Why has it been so long that I can only see people on the city wall and not see any changes on the city wall?"
Lu Bu, who was under the carriage, watched the soldiers rushing up one after another, but they seemed to have farted without even a ripple, which made him a little confused.
"Back to the general, the enemy has deployed crossbowmen near the carriage. The brothers who rushed forward were shot to death before they could react. This is not a passage, it is a dead end."
Soon the captain in charge of the siege responded directly to Lu Bu. If Lu Bu hadn't been here, he might have led his men to retreat by now.
"Trash, you personally lead people to rush for me. If you can't rush to the city wall to raise your head to see me."
Lu Bu glanced at the captain and directly asked him to lead his men to charge into the city.
"General, I don't dare to rush. I have an old man above me and a young man below me. Please spare me."
Hearing that Lu Bu wanted to lead the charge, the captain immediately became stupid.
He was originally just a wealthy man. Only because he paid a lot of money and knew how to deal with the world, he was able to work his way up and reach the position of captain. Now, wouldn't it cost him his life if Lu Bu asked him to charge?
Lu Bu Fangtian flicked his halberd, and the captain's head fell down with a sound, and the headless body hit the ground directly.
"If anyone is afraid of fighting like this man again, he will be killed without mercy."
Lu Bu saw the headless corpse in front of him, and then jumped off the horse suddenly.
