In the corner of the military grain and supplies warehouse compound on Jinfu East Street, two officials with rosacea and a beard came panting and received the written order from the South Privy Council, and proudly shouted at Lin Jue and others.
"The order you asked for is here. King Han doesn't have time to come in person to give you the order. If he comes in person, you will be in trouble. Do you see clearly? What do you say? Can we unload the truck?"
Lin Jue took the order stamped with the seal of the Southern Privy Council and said with a smile: "Now that we have this order, we should obey it. We can't wait to do this. The sooner we deliver the mission, the sooner we will be out of touch.
"
The rosacea officer sneered: "You must be stubborn. I told you the order from above, but you just don't believe it. We are so tired that we made a trip. There will be something missing in the goods, but don't blame me."
This was simply a naked threat. What the rosacea official meant was that he would deliberately find trouble after counting the goods and saying that there was a shortage of goods. The responsibility naturally fell on the escorting soldiers and horses, and this was to retaliate against Lin Jue and others.
Cooperated.
Lin Jue laughed loudly and turned to Ma Bin, Sun Dayong and others beside him: "Did you hear that these guys are still threatening us? What should we do? If there is a shortage of goods, we will be punished if we turn back. How many times?
Brother, what should I do?"
Ma Bin laughed loudly and said: "What else can we do? If we don't do it, we will kill these two bastards."
Rosacea and Bearded were startled and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you looking for death?"
Sun Dayong shouted coldly: "It's you who are looking for death. My lord, the siege has begun. I can already hear the drums beating outside the city. It's time for us to take action."
Lin Jue shouted sternly: "Then what are you waiting for? First control the military supplies here and burn them on fire. Then we go to Nancheng and make them bloom inside and outside. Do it!"
The expressions of the two officials with beards and rosacea and a dozen of their entourage changed drastically and they started to leave. Sun Dayong, Ma Bin, Liang Qi and others moved their mouths faster and had already jumped out. In the blink of an eye, the swords flashed, and a dozen people immediately jumped out.
Account. At the same time, more than a thousand personal guards who had been prepared in the corner had already got on their horses. They rushed from the dark corner of the yard to the warehouse in the distance like a strong wind. With their long swords raised high and shouts of killing, they swept across the sky.
go.
The East Street Warehouse is one of the four warehouses in Xijin Prefecture, and it is also where the largest material and grain warehouse is located. Thousands of Liao troops are guarding it. Lin Jue and others are in the outer courtyard, which is where horses and carriages stop for shipment.
The real powerhouse of the warehouse is in the courtyard within the northern wall, where a large number of guard Liao soldiers also gathered to patrol. Because of this, not many people paid attention to the actions of the people in the outside courtyard. Lin Jue and others were here.
The purpose of the gangsters entering the city was to create a lot of chaos. They were originally looking for a place like the warehouse barracks to attack and harass, but unexpectedly they were taken directly to the warehouse on East Street. Naturally, they refused to let it go.
.The food and supplies warehouse was on fire, which was the most shaken military morale, and the most frightening move for the Liao soldiers guarding the city.
Thousands of soldiers and horses rushed towards the warehouse area in the north. There was a huge wooden door connecting the two courtyards. The door here is usually closed, but at this moment, because the inventory and unloading of goods is about to be carried out, so at this moment
The gate was wide open. When the Luoyan Army cavalry came from
When they rushed out of the darkness and headed straight to the North Courtyard, the guarding Liao army immediately noticed something strange, and their reaction was quick. The leader of the Liao army immediately shouted for the soldiers to close the door.
However, the Luoyan Army moved suddenly and came on horseback, giving them limited time to react. When the door was half closed, Ma Bin and Sun Dayong, with dozens of cavalry, had already arrived at the thirty
Steps away.
Whoosh whoosh! The repeating crossbows in the hands of the Luoyan Army cavalry were still fired. The firing of dozens of repeating crossbows knocked down more than a dozen Liao soldiers who were struggling to close the door. Ma Bin, Sun Dayong and others rushed into the courtyard and broke through the north.
The courtyard gate was guarded. The cavalry rushing from behind knocked the wooden door wide open, and the cavalry rushed in like a flood.
Arrows rained down from several Liao arrow towers around, and at the same time, urgent warning horns also sounded harshly. All the Liao soldiers and horses stationed here immediately rushed out, howling and rushing forward.
came to intercept. But how could these Liao troops be opponents? There was almost no resistance in the hasty battle. The Luoyan army fired their crossbows and shot in all directions. Hundreds of Liao troops finally gathered to attack, but were shot in just a moment.
They killed hundreds of people and fled in all directions with loud screams. The only thing that threatened the Luoyan Army cavalry was a few standing arrow towers, each with seven or eight Liao Army archers firing arrows down randomly. But they soon
There was no sound, because Bai Bingliang and the others had already targeted them as soon as they rushed in. Bai Bing rushed up to the arrow tower at the east end of the courtyard gate and chopped down all the seven or eight archers above.
, Liang Qiye and three personal guards rushed to the west arrow tower and threw down all the archers above.
The battle in the entire warehouse did not last longer than a stick of incense. The purpose of the Luoyan Army guards was not to kill all the fleeing Liao troops. They just wanted to control the warehouse and light the fire. Fires quickly broke out in more than a dozen warehouses.
, rising with the raging north wind of the autumn night, burning red and bright. When the fire rose into the sky, more than a thousand Luoyan Army Guards Cavalry had already rushed onto the East Street and galloped away.
…
The siege battle seemed to be going on very fiercely. The phalanx of Zhou soldiers and horses attacking the city had already reached the edge of the moat. Tens of thousands of Liao troops from the top of the city fired thousands of arrows, and countless arrows completely covered the siege phalanx.
The siege soldiers and horses held up their shields to form a shield array, lying on the ground like a turtle huddled in its shell, letting the arrows rain down on their heads like a storm. The thick shield was densely covered with nails.
Full of arrows, the large turtle-like phalanx turned into hedgehogs lying on the ground.
But what surprised the Liao army defending the city was that the opponent did not seem to have any intention of attacking the city, nor did they have the idea of building a passage on the moat. They just huddled together and endured the attacks of arrows. Although their shields protected them very well
It was tight, and the storm-like arrows did not cause them heavy casualties. But the powerful arrows would burst the shield from time to time, penetrating through the gaps in the shield, and always causing casualties to the opponent. Not to mention there were also
The powerful bed crossbow bombarded their formation. Every time the thick-armed iron-headed crossbow blasted into the formation, it always blasted a big gap in the opponent's shield array. Before the opponent could make up for the gap, there was always
Dozens of people were killed by random arrows. If the opponent maintained this passive situation of being beaten, the Liao army at the head of the city could use their limited dozen crossbows to eat up these stupid attackers bit by bit.
.
At this moment, the fire in the city was discovered by the Liao army at the head of the city.
Soon Han De Sui got the news, he quickly turned to the north of the tower and looked towards the direction of the fire in the city.
"What's going on? Where is that place? Why is there a fire?" Han Desui asked loudly.
"There is no specific information yet, but the direction seems to be the direction of the grain supplies warehouse on East Street." The general next to him said hurriedly.
Han De then cursed angrily, feeling furious in his heart. It was obvious that enemies had sneaked into the city and started causing trouble at this time.
"Your Majesty, would you like me to lead a team of soldiers to take a look?" A general suggested in a deep voice.
Just as Han Desui was about to nod in agreement, he suddenly became alert. His mind recalled the battle against Jin Mansion a few months ago. It was the opponent who broke through the city gate and forced him to divide his troops to recapture it, which led to
The city wall has been completely lost. If we divide our forces at this moment, the opponent is likely to repeat their old tricks. I don't know how many enemies are causing trouble in the city, maybe only a small number of them. Maybe they just want to distract themselves.
"No, pass the order. Guards and government soldiers from all over the city will all assemble towards East Street. Thousands of soldiers and horses in the city should be able to wipe out these troublemakers. Not a single soldier or horse on the city wall can be moved. The warehouse on East Street is set on fire.
Burn it as soon as you get it. We still have three warehouses with enough food and supplies, so we can't let them lead us around. The most important task now is to defend the city." Han Desui said in a deep voice.
Everyone had no choice but to obey, and Han Zongchang ordered people to go down to the city to deliver the order. There were still a lot of people at strategic points in the city, and there were three to four thousand people gathered together. These people should be enough to calm the situation in the city.
The siege is still going on. It is obvious that the siege troops and horses cannot stand it any longer. One of the siege square formations has been broken up. The siege troops and horses of the Zhou Dynasty cannot form a shield formation, and they have fled back.
Hundreds of soldiers were chased and shot by dense arrows, resulting in heavy casualties. Other siege formations also showed signs of loosening. Maybe even they themselves did not understand the significance of breaking into the city and being wantonly attacked by the opponent with arrows and crossbows.
"Hold on, believe in Mr. Lin and the others." Ma Changqing told himself through gritted teeth, but avoided Han Gang's gaze when he cast a doubtful glance. He knew Han Gang's doubts, and Han Gang was afraid that he didn't understand why his own soldiers
The horse has to do this.
Han Gang really didn't understand why Ma Qingshan didn't launch a fierce attack, but huddled under the city and was beaten passively. He neither attacked nor retreated. What kind of siege method was this? A suicide siege? Even if you don't fear death in battle.
, but it’s not such a way to die.
Han Desui on the top of the city was actually having a hard time. Their arrows were consumed a lot. The Liao soldiers had already fired several arrow pots, but the results were actually quite limited. The opponent's casualties did not exceed a thousand people. The opponent's protection
It's really great. The hexagonal shield specially made for city siege is really strong in resisting bows and arrows. Each phalanx is lying under the city like a shrunken turtle. It is indeed a living target, but the arrows cover it.
It can't hurt its fur when it goes up. It can only cause damage by bombarding it with crossbows and shooting the wooden shields into pieces with powerful arrows. However, the number of crossbows is limited and the killing effect is limited. Han Desui even doubted that the other party was attacking.
Playing the trick of borrowing arrows from a straw boat.
But this is not what worries Han Desui the most. After all, he has sufficient supplies of arrows. What worries him most is the situation in the city. He has returned to the north of the tower several times to take a look, and the situation in the city seems to be a little out of control.
