Qin Yangming heard the shouts from the walls of Dongliang County and whispered: "What are they shouting?"
Yang Xiandao: "They seem to be saying that they have occupied Dongluocang."
Qin Yangming frowned, and Xian Zhai said: "General, you must have deliberately disturbed our military morale. How can they have the strength to allocate more manpower to attack Dongluocang?"
Yang Xiandao: "Yes, even if they attack Dongluocang, they will not be able to break through the strong walls of Dongluocang. General Chang Fanqi is a fierce general in the world, how can he be defeated so easily."
Qin Yangming thought to himself that while they were attacking Dongliang County, Hu Xiaotian sent troops to attack Dongluocang. They had already considered this possibility. Because of this, he asked Chang Fanqi to garrison Dongluocang out of caution.
, Qin Yangming strived to be impeccable with his troops. Although he thought that the possibility of Hu Xiaotian sending troops to Dongluocang was slim, he still took adequate defensive measures. Hearing the shouts of the opposing soldiers, Qin Yangming's state of mind was somewhat affected. Dongluocang was a big enemy.
One of Yong's seven major granaries, its important strategic position is undoubted. As General Shao Yuan, one of his most important responsibilities is to help each other with Dongluocang.
Of course Qin Yangming knew what it would mean if he lost Dongluocang. He was afraid that he would not be able to save his head. After pondering for a moment, Qin Yangming decisively ordered an attack on the city. The team began to advance in the direction of Dongluocang. When they entered the opponent's attack range, the tower
Shangyu Tianxing waved the red pennant in his hand, and the small flag flew in the sky of snowflakes, like a cluster of beating bright flames. This cluster of flames announced that the defensive battle of Dongliang County had officially begun. Four slingshots were arranged at the corners of the city wall.
The machine started launching, and the boulder was thrown into the gray sky by the trebuchet. The beautiful and crystal snowflakes avoided the menacing attack route of the boulder like an elf. The boulder turned into a small black dot in the gray sky, and then fell down due to the pull of gravity.
Falling rapidly from the highest point.
Seeing the attack from the sky, Yong's army retreated to both sides. Dozens of soldiers who could not escape were hit by boulders, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere, splashing shocking beauty on the endless white snow. From the sky
Looking down from the center, it looks like clusters of bloody plum blossoms blooming on the ground.
There are seven catapults, four installed on the city wall and three installed inside the city. This combination can carry out medium and long-distance strikes. Although the catapults are powerful, after all, each attack requires a certain amount of time, and even if it can
The number of casualties caused by the enemy was nothing compared to the total number of enemy troops. It was impossible to shake the foundation of Yong's army.
When Yong's army quickly approached the city wall and advanced to the moat, they pushed the bridge carts to the shore and built temporary bridges on the moat. Yong's army bravely and fearlessly crossed the bridge carts and rushed to the other side.
A siege crossbow accurately hit the bridge carts, destroying one of the bridge carts. However, more bridge carts arrived at the river bank. The Yong army crossed the moat like a tide and rushed under the city wall.
The spy sent to inquire about the situation quickly came to Qin Yangming's side. There was no need to salute on the battlefield. He bowed and clasped his fists and said: "General, I just received the exact battle report. Dongluocang was attacked by the Kang army. There are currently many fires.
, the specific war situation is ominous.”
Qin Yangming's heart sank. The thing he least wanted to happen happened after all. Hu Xiaotian followed him and came up with a strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. While he was organizing an army to attack Dongliang County, he led his army to sneak into Dongluocang and attack their strategy.
If the important land is lost in Dongluocang, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my head.
Qin Yangming looked to Zhai Yuan aside. Zhai Yuan knew that Qin Yangming was asking for his opinion and said respectfully: "This is a plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. They know they are unable to resist our army's attack on the city. So they dispatched a group of troops to attack Dongluocang.
There are five thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Dongluocang under the command of General Chang. I think even if they attack the city, they will not be able to invade Dongluocang in a while. With our current situation, we can take Dongliang County in three hours at most.
, then we will gather superior forces to support Dongluocang."
Qin Yangming frowned and said in a low voice: "Hu Xiaotian has so many tricks up his sleeve. I don't know how many people he sent to attack Dongluocang."
Zhai Yuandao: "According to the information we have, he can mobilize up to 10,000 people to attack Dongluocang, and there can be no more."
Qin Yangming pursed his lips. Ten thousand people were already more than twice the number of people in Dongluocang. If he was not afraid of ten thousand, he would be afraid of the worst. If Hu Xiaotian really broke through the city gate of Dongluocang, then he would have occupied Dongliang County.
It cannot offset this crime. You must know that the grain and materials stored in Dongluocang provide supplies for Dayong's entire southeastern front. If Dongluocang is breached, it means that their southeastern cities, including the navy along the Yongjiang River, will face military rations.
Tight dilemma. Qin Yangming thought carefully and turned to his deputy Yang Xiandao: "Mr. Yang, you immediately inform Huang Xincheng to suspend the plan to attack the east gate and return to Dongluocang immediately to provide assistance. You must ensure that nothing goes wrong in Dongluocang."
"yes!"
When Zhai Yuan heard Qin Yangming's decision, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Qin Yangming was too conservative. The walls of Dongluocang were first-class strong. Chang Fanqi, the guard of Dongluocang, had the courage of ten thousand men. Even if he only had five
Thousands of people, as long as they hold on to the city, even if the opponent has ten times the force, they will not be able to break through the gate of Dongluocang for a while. They should gather superior forces to capture Dongliang County first. How can they change their plans and weaken them before the battle?
For the offensive here, the result of such troop deployment is bound to greatly reduce the attack power. The siege plan originally planned to be completed in three hours is likely to be greatly extended. Zhai Yuan's worry is not unnecessary. After Huang Chengcheng received Qin Yangming's order
, immediately led 15,000 soldiers to evacuate, and immediately returned to Dongluocang. Huang Chengcheng was the deputy commander stationed in Dongluocang. For him, the significance of Dongluocang was obviously much more important than that of Dongliang County. Today
The first attack on Dongliang County was to cooperate with Qin Yangming's military operations. Qin Yangming must be credited with the first victory in Dongliang County, but if something went wrong in Dongluocang, both he and Chang Fanqi would definitely lose their heads.
Huang Chengcheng knew Chang Fanqi's temperament very well. He knew that although this general had superior force, he was impulsive. If he misjudged the situation and made the wrong decision, it would probably lead to irreparable mistakes. Therefore, Huang Chengcheng was very cautious about turning back to rescue.
There was no objection to the matter, and we set off immediately after receiving the order.
Yu Tianxing saw that Dongmen Yong's army began to retreat just after launching the attack. He knew that his strategy had begun to work. He secretly admired Hu Xiaotian's foresight. It was Hu Xiaotian's idea to spread the news of the attack on Dongluocang in advance. It was this news
Instead of fighting against the enemy, the number of people attacking was reduced by 15,000, greatly reducing their pressure. Yu Tianxing did not know that someone else had actually thought of this idea.
Liang Yinghao made a gesture and pointed upward, where the exit was located. Based on the distance traveled, they had successfully entered the hinterland of Dongluocang. Ten soldiers put together the I-shaped iron beams they carried.
, soon became an escalator. Liang Yinghao went up the escalator. After making sure that there was no movement above, he slowly moved the stone slab above him. He climbed up first, and everyone climbed up one by one. This should be a stable.
, there was sewage all over the ground and it was muddy. Although it was a bit filthy, it was easy to hide their activities.
Liang Yinghao unfolded a piece of parchment, quickly determined their location with the light of the night pearl, pointed to the east and said: "This is a place where grain and grass are piled. I led a hundred people to set this place on fire, because
This place is relatively isolated and the fire will not spread to other places. Once the fire is ignited, it will definitely attract the attention of the defenders in the city. We left immediately after setting the fire and set fire at two points near the North Gate and East Gate to create as much chaos in the city as possible.
"
Hu Xiaotian whispered: "Is a hundred people enough?"
Liang Yinghao said: "That's enough! Our main task is to attract the enemy's attention and capture the city wall. The task of breaking through their defense is the responsibility of the lord."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and looked up at the city wall. There were eight towering arrow towers on the city wall. Except for the one that was destroyed by a trebuchet just now, there are still seven towers left. If you want to occupy the city wall, you must first
After capturing the seven arrow towers, the remaining 900 people were divided into nine teams. The seven teams were led by Zhan Peng and sneaked into the city wall respectively, striving to capture the seven arrow towers as soon as possible. The remaining 200 people were killed by Hu Xiaotian.
Under his personal guidance, he was responsible for stopping and killing enemies along the way.
Several people agreed to take action as soon as possible after the fire broke out.
When they broke up, another huge boulder fell on the stable. The stable partially collapsed, and sand, stone, and snow flew everywhere. Fortunately, they did not hit one of their own. It seemed that Zhu Ba and the two thousand beggars were still operating the trebuchet.
Launch a remote attack.
Chang Fanqi led 3,000 soldiers and horses out of Dongluocang and headed towards the west hill at full speed. They had already judged that the attack was coming from the hill. Chang Fanqi held a Zhangba snake spear in his hand, and his red-haired Qiu stubs stood on end.
He stood up, with a murderous look in his strange eyes, and the red rabbit and horse under his crotch galloped on the snow like the wind and lightning, like a flame traveling through the snowy night.
A beggar who was in charge of the lookout came to Zhu Ba out of breath: "Report! Hall Master... there are about 3,000 people coming towards us at the west gate of Dongluocang!"
Zhu Ba nodded and said: "Withdraw! Liu Wu, Jia Liu, you two take twenty brothers to break up the rear, wait until they enter the forest and set fire to it, and the rest will follow me to Dongluocang immediately."
"yes!"
The fire suddenly shot up from the northeast side of Dongluocang. The fire was in a warehouse storing hay, not far from the stables. The hay was used to provide winter fodder for horses and was one of the eight forage yards inside Dongluocang.
The fire and thick smoke immediately attracted the attention of the defenders, who hurriedly mobilized their manpower to rush towards the fire. (To be continued.)
