The skitarii under Hai Dongqing was already quite well-equipped, and the delay of more than ten days gave him a chance to breathe, giving him the opportunity to deliver all the supplies transferred from Snake Island. Although Liao
They didn't give much supplies, but they still gave a lot of basic combat supplies such as weapons and arrows. Combined with the previous support, the quantity was enough to equip a decent soldier and horse.
Although not everyone of the 25,000 Skitarii has armor, everyone has weapons. Among them are more than 3,000 bows and arrows, more than 5,000 Liao horse light shields, and 10,000 light helmets.
Many pieces. Therefore, this is the most well-equipped skitarii that Hai Dongqing has led since the uprising.
As the first echelon, eight thousand skitarii were fully equipped. Four thousand well-armored skitarii charged forward carrying ladders, followed closely by two thousand archers, plus two thousand shield bearers holding shields as a shield.
Cover. Form a three-dimensional formation and rush within a hundred steps of the city.
Without waiting for Guo Kun's order, the defenders at the top of the city fired arrows, and the arrows rained down like a downpour. However, due to the cover of the shield soldiers, and the road leading to the city was no longer blocked, it was unobstructed. In addition, the Holy Spirit had previously
The cupping thrown by the regiment had not yet been extinguished, and some of the defenders at the top of the city had to free their hands to put out the fire. The firepower was limited. During the tea time, the Skitarii rushed to the city at the cost of only more than a thousand people.
The defenders at the top of the city began to throw down logs and rocks. Countless rocks and logs rolled down, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere below them, and screams to the sky. However, despite this, dozens of ladders were still among the rocks and arrows.
It was erected in the rain and put on top of the city.
Two thousand Skitarii archers began to shoot arrows at the top of the city to suppress them. The Skitarii under the city began to attack the city. The second echelon of eight thousand Skitarii also roared over. At the same time, seven or eight assault vehicles were also attacking the bandits.
Pushed by the force, he rushed towards the city gate which was already on fire.
Almost instantly, the people above and below the city fell into a fierce and anxious battle, quickly reaching the climax of the battle.
For the Forbidden Army defending the city, there is actually not much pressure in the face of such an attack. With more than 10,000 defenders, there is not much disadvantage in terms of numbers. Even if there is a disadvantage, they are still overwhelmed by the high walls and equipment of the strong city.
The strength of the city defense force made up for it. In addition, the city defense supplies were sufficient, and there was no pressure at all. As the battle progressed, the Skitarii suffered heavy casualties, and the defenders at the top of the city were not only burned a lot by fire, but also shot sporadically by the archers below.
A few were killed and injured, but there was not much loss at all.
The Skitarii's attack did not make much progress. The attack on the city wall suffered heavy casualties and was hopeless. The only progress was at the city gate. A fire broke out at the city gate and the drawbridge was burned. This may
It has become a hidden worry for the city defenders. And it seems that the defenders at the top of the city did not care about this. They did not even pay attention to the fire at the city gate, nor did they increase their manpower to prevent the charging vehicles from bombarding the city gate. For the Skitarii, this
Maybe it's a breakthrough for them.
Sure enough, after the siege entered the second hour and hundreds of breakthroughs at the city's head were repelled, Hai Dongqing was anxious about this, when good news came from the city gate that made Hai Dongqing excited.
With a loud rumbling sound, the thick city gate with smoke and fire was blasted open by several rams, and the passage leading into the city was suddenly opened. The city gate would not have been blasted open so easily.
The thick east gate of Xingren Mansion is blocked by more than a dozen iron bars, and even a huge charge may not be able to shake it. In addition, in such a siege, there must be a forest of logs behind the city gate, and it is completely blocked with sandbags.
Horses and other objects may not be useful even if they blast open the city gate.
However, what was surprising was that the moment the city gate opened, the Skitarii found that the city gate was empty and unimpeded. The cool breeze in the hall made the sweating bandits feel comfortable all over. This was a real surprise.
It's too sudden.
After receiving the news, Haidongqing looked up to the sky and laughed. The officers and soldiers were too arrogant and stubborn, thinking that they could defend the city. It seemed that they did not expect that the city gate would fall. This was the price of their arrogance. The two thousand members of the Holy Spirit Regiment
The kid deserved to die. At least the fire they set at the city gate and tower had an effect. The city gate was burned to a fragile level, the tower was still burning, and the defenders were unable to reinforce in time. Once the city gate opened, Xingren Mansion
Easily available.
After learning this exciting good news, the Saints' group suddenly sang loudly, and the sound of silk and bamboo echoed throughout the battlefield.
"The Holy Duke is so great that he is invincible. His divine soldiers are so powerful that no one can match him. The Holy Duke is so great that he can attack cities and strongholds and kill all stubborn enemies as if he were walking on plain ground."
Accompanied by the seductive singing, Hai Dongqing gave a loud order: "Attack all, go to the city, don't fight with them at the top of the city. After entering the city, kill everyone on sight, leaving no chickens or dogs behind. Force them to go down to the city to fight."
"
Hai Dongqing personally led the remaining nine thousand Skitarii to the city gate. All the Skitarii who were attacking the city wall gathered at the city gate. They stepped on the embers of the city gate and rushed into the city with shouts. A moment later
, tens of thousands of skitarii poured into the city gate. Although the defenders on the city head struggled to gather towards the city gate, intending to stop all this, the city head was narrow, and they could not get many people at all, and there was no way to stop them.
Everyone was dumbfounded. The people in the city who were waiting for good news never expected that instead of waiting for good news, they waited for fatal news. They only lasted for more than an hour and were guarded by more than 10,000 troops.
The east gate of Xingren Mansion was breached by the religious bandits. They were panicked and looked at each other in horror, not knowing what to do.
In the government office, the officials who gathered together to wait for news of the battle were also dumbfounded. Some of them began to curse the defenders for their incompetence and the generals of the imperial army for their stupidity. In order to defend the city, a large number of sandbags were piled up in the east city gate.
, blocking the city gate to death. However, the generals of the Forbidden Army ordered all the sandbags to be removed and the city gate to be vacated. They said that the bandits could not attack at all and there was no need to be so cautious. Blocking the city gate with sandbags was a sign of lack of confidence.
Well now, the city gate has been knocked open. What's the use of being taller than the city wall? They have invaded. You must know that once you enter the street fighting, the advantage of the opponent's large number will be completely useful. The forbidden army is incompetent and ruined Xingren.
The house is over.
Someone directly pointed the finger at Lin Jue, the man who said he wanted to do this. What can a scholar do if he leads the army? This man is Zhao Kuo, who can only talk on paper, and everyone will suffer at his hands.
Compared with the panic in the city, Lin Jue on the city wall had a weird smile on his face. Guo Kun frowned and said to Lin Jue: "I agreed to do this at a huge risk. Don't mess it up.
Now we are luring the wolf into the house, so the religious bandits are pouring in."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Don't worry, isn't this what we discussed last night? Don't you agree with it with both hands? Why are you afraid again now? This trick is called inviting you to enter the urn, closing the door to catch turtles, and calling Haidong Qing to insert
Wings cannot escape and will be completely destroyed here. In case he cannot capture the city, he has to choose to grease his feet. This person is extremely cunning. If you don't give him some sweetness, how can he be fooled? Don't say anything, uncle, I have to go
Get ready. Brother, your task is to wait for Hai Dongqing's people to enter the city, immediately retake the city gate, block it with sandbags, and prevent them from getting out. I have to go and immediately tell Wu Yongbo to guard the inner city gate.
."
Guo Kun smacked his lips and said: "That's all. Now that things have come to a point, you can do whatever you want. Do you still regret it? Act quickly and don't let them break through the inner city gate."
Lin Jue laughed loudly, turned around and shouted: "Wei Dakui, are you ready? Go with me to get the credit. I guarantee you a big credit this time."
Wei Dakui, who was already gearing up, said loudly and happily: "Master Lin, thank you for your support. I have been waiting for this for a long time. Everything is ready. I am just waiting for your order."
Lin Jue nodded and shouted: "Okay, take action immediately."
After the East City Gate was unexpectedly breached, countless skitarii swarmed in and rushed into the city. Hai Dongqing led a third echelon of nine thousand skitarii who also rushed into the city as quickly as possible. In the process, they did not encounter much resistance.
The defenders in the city seemed to have panicked and could not organize an effective attack. Nearly 20,000 skitarii rushed into the city gate unimpeded.
However, they soon felt that something was wrong. They soon discovered that although they had invaded the city, they had actually only invaded the outer city walls. Less than two blocks into the charge, they found that in front of them lay the
There is another tall city wall. This is the inner city wall of Xingren Mansion. Although the inner city wall is not as tall and strong as the outer city wall, it has become a barrier in front of them at this moment, blocking their way to attack. They just
As they got closer, arrows were fired from the city wall, forcing them not to get closer.
In order not to be delayed and occupy the inner city as quickly as possible, the Skitarii generals chose to explore and attack along the inner city wall in both directions. However, they soon discovered that the inner city wall spread all the way, tightly fitting together, and there were no gaps at all. There were
The thoughtful general suddenly realized that what they were rushing into was a sandwich area between the inner city wall and the outer city wall, which was only two or three miles wide. The inner and outer city walls sandwiched them like minced meat.
Unable to take a step forward, I could only take a circuitous route to both sides along the ring-shaped sandwich area, but I couldn't get in.
This is exactly the trap designed by Lin Jue. Lin Jue is well prepared to annihilate the cult bandits. He is not satisfied with just repelling the opponent's attack. If it is just to repulse Hai Dongqing's attack,
City, such a goal is too easy to achieve. With more than 10,000 fully armed defenders guarding Xingren Mansion, it is not a problem at all. With Hai Dongqing's current strength, it is impossible to capture Xingren Mansion only by doubling the manpower.
However, Lin Jue did not want to let Hai Dongqing go. Once the siege was blocked, a shrewd person like Hai Dongqing would definitely escape. Although that would not affect the overall situation of counterinsurgency, Hai Dongqing might still disappear.
Without a trace, this person definitely has the ability to escape.
