Hai Dongqing is a big disaster. As long as he is alive, something might happen again. He escaped from the island back then, which led to today's disaster. This time, we must not let him escape. Just run away.
With Hai Dongqing, even if the counter-insurgency is successful, it will not be perfect, and Lin Jue does not want to leave any regrets.
In view of this, Lin Jue set a trap. He wanted to invite you to enter the urn and use the unique city structure of Xingren Mansion to introduce Hai Dongqing's troops into the city and catch them all in one fell swoop. Although doing so was risky, Lin Jue believed that the risk was controllable.
The results can be expected.
When Xingrenfu was upgraded from a prefectural city to a prefectural city, it expanded the city outline and built a new wall around the outside of the old city. This layout is a natural cage. You only need to lure opponents into the outer city and tighten the pockets of the outer city.
, and arrange enough manpower for defense on the inner city wall, so that the opponent can be trapped in it and strangled. This was the approach proposed by Lin Jue when they first discussed how to use Xingren Mansion to resist the enemy.
Of course, Guo Kun and others have doubts. Guo Kun's idea is to be steady, and defeating Hai Dongqing is victory, not whether he can catch him. Lin Jue's idea is that Guo Xu cannot be cheated.
Leave a tiny bit of credit behind. He has to finish the meal himself and not even let Guo Xu drink a sip of the soup. Doesn’t he want to borrow a knife to kill someone? Aren’t they still thinking about taking their own lives? Then give it to Guo Xu completely
Xu was so embarrassed that he got nothing. If Hai Dongqing escaped with the remaining men, wouldn't it be an advantage for Guo Xu and give him a chance to catch Hai Dongqing. This would never happen.
Guo Kun also learned from previous lessons. Every time his brother-in-law proposed a strategy, it was difficult for him to understand, but it was obvious that he could not keep up with his brother-in-law's ideas. His previous objections almost led to disaster, so he had better follow his brother-in-law's ideas.
It is better to hide one's shame than to show off one's ugliness. Lin Jue said that he could do it, so he had better not insist on it. So, Guo Kun followed all the arrangements and just divided more than 3,000 people from the 12,000 soldiers and horses guarding the city.
The inner city wall was defended, and according to Lin Jue's request, the obstacles at the east city gate were removed, and even the iron bars sealing the gate were removed. Even without the Holy Spirit Group's fire burning the gate, the gate would not be able to withstand the opponent.
Hit by a car.
Lin Jue even devised a backup plan. If the bandits could not break through the city gate, Lin Jue planned to deliberately send people to set fire to the city tower, pretending to be a civil unrest and open the city gate to welcome guests. In short, he would definitely not trick Hai Dongqing into entering.
Give up.
This is also the reason why the opponent didn't feel much counterattack when they attacked the city gate. The soldiers on the city tower were thunderous and rainy, and their attacks below were not ferocious enough. It was all an act.
Of course, Lin Jue did not expect that there would be appearances and performances by the Holy Spirit Group and the Holy Spirit Group. But he didn’t know that those old members of the Holy Spirit Group who showed up for the Holy Religion and were willing to serve as flesh and blood stepping stones knew that their sacrifices were completely meaningless.
, the other side will create opportunities for us to attack the city, and their death will be completely unnecessary, will you feel that you are so stupid?
After Hai Dongqing entered the city, he quickly realized that something was unusual. When he learned about the layout of the city and that all his troops were trapped in the strip area between the two city walls, Hai Dongqing smelled an extremely dangerous atmosphere.
But he didn't panic. There were 20,000 skitarii by his side, so he didn't need to worry.
"Give me the order to attack southward along the inner wall, away from the east city. Look for a gap that can break through the inner city wall. There are not many defenders in the inner city, so I don't believe that they have enough manpower to defend the entire inner city wall."
Hai Dongqing ordered sharply.
Hai Dongqing's idea is actually reasonable. When he attacked the city, the number of defenders on the east city wall was tens of thousands, which means that there cannot be many people defending the inner city wall. Since there are archers on the inner city wall facing the east gate
Guard, then other places must be empty. What we have to do now is to break away from the east city, take advantage of the gap where the defenders mobilize their troops to the inner city, find an empty place, break through the inner city in one fell swoop, and create a flower in the city. At the same time, avoid being trapped.
A dilemma between two city walls.
After receiving the order, more than 20,000 skitarii and churchgoers immediately rushed southward along the city wall. They occupied several barracks and several empty government offices along the way without encountering any resistance. However, after rushing out of the land of Lixu,
, a high wall stretched in front of them. It was a newly built wall built with sandbags. It stood between the two city walls, blocking the way like a high cliff, blocking the church.
The bandits were attacking the passage to the south. The sandbag wall was more than three feet high and more than ten feet wide. There were hundreds of crossbowmen stationed on it. When the skitarii rushed forward, the crossbows above were fired, and arrows rained down like rain.
More than a hundred religious bandits were shot and killed, forcing them not to dare approach.
After receiving the report, Hai Dongqing felt a little panicked. This wall was obviously a temporary obstacle, sealing off the passage between the two walls. There were crossbowmen stationed above it. If an attack was ordered at this moment, although it would take some effort to attack it, but
It is still impossible for the army to pass through here. In addition, the ladders and other objects have been abandoned outside the city. Taking down this sandbag fortification wall will probably cost a huge price, because you can only climb it with bare hands, which is simply a living target for the opponent. More importantly,
Unfortunately, the time lost is extremely precious. Once the troops and horses on the opponent's east wall are deployed in place, they will be unable to break through the defense of the inner wall.
"Turn around and go north." Hai Dongqing decisively gave the order to turn around and attack north. Since the road to the south is different, there is no need to worry. Attacking north is just as feasible.
The rear team of the Skitarii changed into the front team, turned around and fought back along the way they came, and then attacked north on the narrow passage between the two city walls. However, when they attacked outside the narrow passage, a dark streak appeared.
A huge sandbag wall once again stood in front of us, blocking the passage to the north. It was the same as the previous sandbag wall, tall and wide, and there were densely packed crossbowmen above it, watching eagerly.
Hai Dongqing broke out in a layer of sweat. Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, bad news came again. The Dongcheng gate was recaptured by officers and soldiers. At this moment, thousands of officers and soldiers were piling up sandbags next to the city gate hole and blocking the gate exit.
.At this moment, Hai Dongqing truly realized that he was in big trouble.
At this moment, if you have a pair of eyes that can look down from a high altitude, you can clearly see the situation of the entire battlefield. In the small area between the inner and outer city walls of Xingren Mansion, there are densely packed with skitarii soldiers and horses. And the two city walls in the north and south
The passage in each direction was blocked by a huge fortification wall. All the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Skitarii were trapped in a rectangular box three miles long and about a mile wide, like a group of wild beasts locked in a cage.
Lin Jue mobilized eight thousand young men in the city last night and built two high walls in a few hours, connecting the inner and outer city walls. The entire inner and outer wall area of the East City was built into a cage for trapped animals. In Lin Jue's words
, this is a simple urn city that was built quickly. Once the city gate is opened, the religious bandits rush in and then block the exit. It is a real situation of closing the door to beat the dog and catching the turtle in the urn.
Another advantage of doing this is that a small number of archers can be used to defend the inner city wall. Because what is to be defended is not the entire inner city wall, but only a small section of the city wall. Three thousand archers only need to defend a distance of less than three miles.
Defending within a small area, the scope of mobilization is not large, and the firepower of the soldiers is sufficient. After blocking the passages on both sides, the activity range of the religious bandits was limited to these three miles. If they wanted to attack the inner city, they could only attack towards
Attack this section of the city wall that is guarded by personnel. And with these two horizontal walls, the defenders on the east wall can actually quickly reinforce the inner city wall through the passages at the top of the two walls. In fact, the two sandbag barriers just now
The repeating crossbowmen on the high wall are the reinforcements on the outer city wall.
This was Lin Jue's whole plan. He invited you to enter the urn, shut the door and beat the dog, and kill Hai Dongqing and his last loyal cult bandits. Hai Dongqing could not escape even if he had wings.
"Holy Duke, what should we do? We have no way out, we are trapped by them. Holy Duke, think of a way quickly." The guardians and guardians beside them were in panic and shouted one after another.
Hai Dongqing was heartbroken and shouted angrily: "Why are you panicking? We still have 20,000 troops, so why are we afraid of them? What if they surround us? What can they do to me? Don't panic, let me think of a countermeasure.
"
Everyone hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's not disturb the Holy Duke to think of a solution. Don't panic."
A guardian said loudly: "Let's pray, bless the Holy Father's sanity, and come up with countermeasures. Come on, come on, you guys, sing quickly, sing quickly."
A group of saints who were dragged in by carts sang with trembling voices: "The Holy Duke... is the greatest and invincible. The evil heretics disappear into thin air. Ahu, Akbaba, Ahubaba, Yier...
…”
Even these saints are aware of the crisis of the current situation. They are afraid, their voices are trembling, and their singing is even out of tune, which is not pleasant at all. However, when the hymns started to be sung, the bandits still knelt down like a conditioned reflex.
Start praying.
Hai Dongqing frowned and sat on the horse, and when the sound of prayers rang in his ears, he felt a little more at ease. In the past two years, whenever these people knelt in front of them and shouted that the Holy Duke is the greatest, Hai Dongqing
Everyone will be greatly encouraged. As long as someone still believes in him, he is not alone and has available strength. When the prayers end, his anxious mood calms down, and Hai Dongqing returns to normal.
"Pass my orders to storm the east gate of the inner city and break the inner city regardless of the cost." Hai Dongqing shouted loudly. This is the most direct way. He cannot retreat and has no way to retreat. What he has to do now is
Storm the inner city, break through, and break this cage-like situation.
"Yes! Brothers, attack!" The guardians also knew that this was the last resort and they could only break through in one place. Regardless of the inner city or the outer city, they always had to break through a city wall. So they mustered up their courage and shouted loudly.
