At this time, Liang Wu was the most beautiful moment in his life, he led 3,000 cavalry into Lingwu County, and was warmly welcomed by the people of the city.

In bursts of cheers, looking at the excited smiling faces, the corners of Liang Wu's eyes moistened, he ignored the opposition of his family and followed Guo Song to Anxi without hesitation, he never imagined that he would have today's glory.

At this time, Liang Yundao interrupted his contemplation, "San Lang, everyone is waiting for you, let's go!" ”

Liang Wu nodded, led into the barracks, he asked the soldiers to rest in the barracks, and he came to the lobby of the command office, where dozens of important figures from the major families gathered.

Everyone was full of expectations, not only for the 3,000 troops of Liang Wu, but also for the reinforcements from Hexi.

Liang Wu coughed heavily, the hall was quiet, and Liang Wu said loudly: "I understand everyone's worries and anxieties, please rest assured, I am just a pioneer, Guo Yuanjun will lead an army of 30,000 to Lingzhou soon, and will never let the party members step into Lingwu County!" ”

There was a burst of applause in the hall, and at that moment, a soldier rushed in and shouted, "Beacon smoke! The smoke of the alarm is lit! ”

Everyone was shocked and walked out of the hall one after another, only to see three pillars of wolf smoke rising from the beacon in the southeast corner of the city, soaring into the sky, which meant that the party army was already sixty miles away.

........

Liang Yundao shouted: "The enemy army is coming, ring the alarm!" ”

'When! While! While! ’

The alarm bell rang, and the people who were still welcoming the Tang army into the city just now were panicked, calling for their children and daughters, and the cries of children everywhere were heard, and they fled back to their homes in panic.

The soldiers of each family went to the city one after another, and groups of soldiers quickly entered the combat seats, they had a detailed plan more than ten years ago, and each family was responsible for that piece, and everyone knew clearly.

Liang Wu led 3,000 soldiers to the city, Liang Wu had just been unanimously recommended by everyone as a commander, and more than 10,000 soldiers had to obey his command.

Fifty soldiers of the firearms battalion were assembled, and this time they carried not large iron mines, but thirty small ones.

"Uncle, is there a trebuchet in the city?" Liang Wu asked.

Liang Yundao thought for a while and said: "There are more than a dozen trebuchets, but they have not been used for many years, and they have been piled up in the warehouse, which is estimated to be a little rotten, maybe a few can be used, but they need to be repaired." ”

Iron Fire Thunder is too dangerous, and it is necessary to ensure that the trebuchet is intact, Liang Wu shook his head and asked, "What about the stone cannon?" ”

"There are stone cannons, there are stone cannons on every family fort, they have just been overhauled before, and they are very smooth to use, adding up to about thirty of them."

Liang Wu was overjoyed and said, "Bring ten crosses up!" ”

"Are the ten crosses enough, do you want to take them all to the city?"

"Ten is enough, but you can have two more as a backup."

"I'll arrange it!"

Liang Yundao hurriedly went to arrange for someone to carry the stone cannon, and after a while, a stone cannon was hoisted on the head of the city, this kind of stone cannon is larger than the whirlwind cannon, and finally the medium-sized stone cannon can shoot a small iron fire laser to a hundred steps away.

Iron fire thunder is directly installed at the head of the city, Liang Wu is a local, he knows Lingwu County very well, Xue Yantuo siege is to choose the east city or the south city, the north and west are mountains and forests and low hills, can not open the battlefield.

If nothing else, the party members should have attacked the city from the east.

The stone cannons were placed directly on the eastern city, and each one was fixed and sturdy.

An hour later, the dust in the distance was flying in the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the party army finally arrived.

After a while, a black line appeared in the distance, and an army of 10,000 party items appeared ten miles away.

This large army consisted of 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, both on horseback, and they carried three hundred siege ladders.

The commander of the Dangxiang Army is called Tuoba Black Thorn, the brother of Tuoba Heisong, the great chief of the Dangxiang Army, who is nearly fifty years old and is the number one commander of the Dangxiang Army.

As soon as Tuoba Blackthorn raised his hand, the army immediately slowed down, Tuoba Blackthorn of course knew the situation in Lingwu County, the Shuofang army was exhausted, and there were only thousands of family militia troops left in the city.

They have been dealing with each other for many years, Tuoba Blackthorn knows these families very well, they have a certain combat effectiveness, but compared to the real Shuofang army, they are still far behind, first of all, these families fight separately, lack of cooperation, as long as a weak point is broken, then the entire defense line will collapse, Tuoba Blackthorn knows very well where the weak point of this army is?

The army slowly arrived two miles away from the east city, and the city was full of large flags, representing various families, although there were many flags, Tuoba still saw the target he was looking for at a glance, a green flag.

In order to seize Lingzhou, the party people did full research, the green banner represents the Zhao family, the Zhao family ranks third from the bottom among the major giants in Lingzhou, although they are not the worst, but their defense has loopholes, most of the soldiers in their family are not locals, but people from Mingsha County, which is related to the fact that the Zhao family itself is from Mingsha County.

The soldier's family is not in Lingwu County, which makes them not fight to the death to protect their family like other soldiers, as long as they can't resist it a little, they will retreat and flee.

The second is the city gate, the city gate has not been changed for almost fifty years, but the other party has a moat and a suspension bridge, and it is not easy to attack the city gate, so it is better to start with the Zhao family.

This is the information that the party members have carefully studied, and they have spent a lot of energy to capture Lingzhou.

"Rest where you are, and attack the city in an hour!"

Tuoba Blackthorn ordered everyone to rest in place, and the soldiers sat down to rest, which was actually a kind of deterrent, putting pressure on the defenders at the head of the city.

At the head of the city, Liang Wu looked at the party soldiers under the city, and his 3,000 soldiers were added to the ranks of various families to enrich the defensive force, so he could not see the banner of the Hexi army.

"The equipment of the party is indeed different!" Liang Wu exclaimed in a low voice.

The leather armor of the Dangxiang people is no longer the rotten camel skin armor of the past, but the fine cowhide or horse skin armor, the weapons are neat, flashing in the sun, and even their bows and arrows are the same as the Tang army, which has indeed changed greatly, and the army looks murderous.

Liang Yundao sneered, "This is all given by Meng Cui Kuan, he really thought that the party members would help him seize Xiao Guan." ”

Five thousand infantry in front and five thousand cavalry in the rear.

After resting for more than half an hour, the drums under the city were loud, and the party troops quickly lined up, and after a while, they saw five thousand cavalry rushing all over the world, and Liang Wu immediately shouted: "Everyone squat!" ”

The soldiers squatted down one after another, only to see the arrows like flying locusts, and the dense jingling of arrows on the head of the city, at this time, the infantry behind carried the siege ladder to kill the sky, and under the cover of the cavalry, they gradually approached the city wall.

"Archer prepare!" Liang Wu shouted.

Thousands of archers took two steps back, together with their bows and arrows, thousands of arrows fired at the same time, arrows rained down into the enemy ranks, hundreds of party soldiers fell from the arrows, but hundreds of casualties had no effect on the party army, under the cover of cavalry bows and arrows, the army rushed to the moat, put on a wide plank, rushed across the moat, and attacked the city one after another.

At the head of the city, the rolling wood and stones fell like raindrops, and the soldiers under the city were smashed to the screams continuously, they raised their shields and climbed up desperately, and each soldier was equally eager to seize Lingzhou, which was the long-cherished wish of their party members for decades, and it was about to be realized.

The cavalry arrows covered the soldiers climbing, and the dense arrows were fired at the soldiers at the head of the city, and the defenders were constantly hit by arrows and fell down from the head of the city.

Liang Wu saw that the time was ripe, and shouted: "The firearms battalion is attacking!" ”

'Boom! Boom! Knock drums beat.

Ten stone cannons were fired at the same time, and ten iron fire thunders emitting black smoke flew out at the same time, towards the dense crowd a hundred paces away.

'Boom! ’

The first fire thunder exploded above the soldier's head, only to see a flash of fire, the explosion was earth-shattering, and the strong shock wave overturned more than a dozen soldiers around, but the real weapon of destruction was the iron shell fragments and thousands of poisonous nails inside.

In the newly made iron fire thunder, the Tang army no longer uses poison nails, this kind of hidden weapon is too vicious, once it is shot, the toxicity attacks, and it will be crippled if it does not die, but the other party is a party item, and it belongs to a foreign race that needs to be physically eliminated, so Guo Song decided to use the warehouse to poison the nail iron fire mine inventory.

At the moment of the explosion of the iron fire and thunder, thousands of poisons flew in all directions, and a scream suddenly sounded, and hundreds of people were hit by poison nails and shot into their bodies. Ten iron fire thunderbolts exploded one after another in the crowd, and the violent explosions were one after another, causing casualties of more than 100 people at the light and 2 to 300 casualties at the worst.

The party army had never seen such a weapon, they were completely stunned, and the families in the city were also terrified.

Tuoba Black Thorn was stunned, and after a while, he reacted and shouted, "Collect the troops!" ”

'When! While! While! ’

The gong sounded, and the party retreated like a tide, and at this time, the second round of ten iron fire thunderbolts fell into the retreating group of soldiers, and a series of violent explosions broke out.
