Chapter 855: Siege and Bloody Battle
Zhao Youji laughed and said: "Yes, then you have to have the ability to capture my Yangwu County, otherwise how can you kill me?" Do you scold the county to death with your mouth? ”
"Zhao Youji, are you afraid that you are crazy, can't you see the prestige of my Qingjiao? I have an army of 100,000 here, how many defenders do you have in your little Yangwu County? This apologetic sect is just giving you a chance, once you attack the city, you will capture Yangwu overnight. Meng Xiang shouted.
"What 100,000 troops? You deceived your subordinates, but it was only a rabble of twenty or thirty thousand. There will be 10,000 forbidden soldiers in my city, and if you don't come, we will still look for you. You come to die, that's the best. If you have the ability, you will attack the city, and the county is too lazy to grind with you. Zhao Youji said loudly.
"Hahaha, tens of thousands of forbidden troops? I'm afraid you're emboldening yourself. The tens of thousands of forbidden troops in your mouth are now in Fengqiu County. Lao Tzu used a little trick to trick these fools into Fengqiu. You only have a few hundred regiments in the city to practice government service, and you also want to defend the city? It's ridiculous. Since you don't want to give you a chance to live, there really is no need to grind your tongue anymore. Wait for me to catch you, hook your tongue, and see how you still talk to Lao Tzu. ”
Meng Xiang said, turned the horse's head and returned to the team. Persuasion to surrender is just a routine thing, and it is naturally better not to attack, but he really didn't have much expectations. If you can't talk about it, then you will attack the city.
Suddenly, a clear voice at the head of the city shouted: "Meng Xiang, is your master of the village okay?" ”
Meng Xiang was stunned for a moment, Le Ma turned his head and frowned, "Who is talking?" ”
Lin Jue slowly appeared under the firelight of the city tower, his face was full of smiles: "Meng Xiang, sure enough, it is Meng Xiang on Peach Blossom Island." I couldn't believe my ears before, and I thought it was just the same name and last name. Meng Xiang, do you forget how much you are? Have you forgotten who I am? ”
Meng Xiang turned his horse's head and stared at the city head carefully, the distance was far away, and the light was not sufficient, so he couldn't see the other party's face clearly. But the voice seemed familiar, as if it had indeed been seen somewhere. And the other party revealed his true identity in one mouthful, could it be said that it was an old man?
"It seems that you have indeed forgotten me, hey, you bandits, you just forget the pain of the scars, and you always refuse to live in peace. I would never have imagined that it was you who caused the trouble, which is really surprising. Needless to say, your Holy Father is Hai Dongqing, isn't he? This guy isn't dead yet, it's really fateful. But this time he is dead, learn to rebel, do you want to be the emperor? Stupid. Lin Jue sneered loudly.
Meng Xiang listened to him, frowned and thought about memories in his mind, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he pointed to the city and shouted, "You are ...... You are...... Forest...... Lin ......"
Lin Jue laughed and said, "It's your grandfather Lin Jue here." Guys, I'll tell you a joke. This Meng Xiang, do you know what he used to do? He was originally the head of the Eight King Kongs under the sea bandit Haidong Qingzuo on Peach Blossom Island in eastern Zhejiang, and he was a bandit who specialized in robbing homes and houses for a living. Back then, I took more than 100 people to Peach Blossom Island, gave them a nest to bloom, and co-ordinated their 30,000 pirates. That Hai Dongqing took Meng Xiang and more than a thousand remnants of bandits to hug their heads. I thought they would live in peace, but I came to the north to bewitch the people and get some kind of Qingjiao. Needless to say, the Holy Father of the Qing Sect is my defeated general Hai Dongqing. Hahaha, I really didn't expect that. Your nemesis is here, are you afraid to see me? Meng Xiang? You speak, you speak, your subordinates are defeated. ”
Lin Jue stood on the city tower and taunted the other party unscrupulously, Lin Jue was really surprised. When he heard Meng Xiang's self-registration just now, Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had misheard. When Meng Xiang was about to leave, he asked tentatively, knowing from Meng Xiang's reaction that they were Hai Dongqing's gang. The surprise in Lin Jue's heart can be imagined. Even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't imagine that this Qingjiao was set up by Hai Dongqing and them. Surprised, I was slightly impressed. A few years ago, the bandits' nest on Pick Flower Island was smashed to pieces, and Hai Dongqing was able to make a comeback, he was really a talent. When this guy was entrenched on Peach Blossom Island, he had a lot of ambitions, hoarding armor, weapons, fire, oil, and so on, intending to rebel. At this moment, using the cult to rebel again is a move in the same vein.
Meng Xiang was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to meet Lin Jue here. Lin Jue's unscrupulous ridicule made him ashamed. Lin Jue scolded him for being a defeated subordinate, which is true. Wasn't the original cottage made yellow by him? But Meng Xiang soon realized that he couldn't let Lin Jue continue to talk about it, and the unbearable old foundation was lifted, what would the sect members think?
"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to come. Dog thief surnamed Lin, we've been looking for you for years. You've come to your door today. Hey. When I catch you, I will light you alive. Just wait. Meng Xiang pulled his horse and left.
Lin Juehaha laughed loudly in the night sky, pointed to his back and said, "Meng Xiang, your subordinates are defeated." What an Anglican apologetic, a group of pirates, a group of my men defeated. The last time you were defeated, this time you will also be defeated by me. Hahaha. ”
Meng Xiang didn't look back, and turned his horse and galloped back to the battle. Although the distance was far away, Lin Jue's clear voice in the quiet night still faintly reached the formation of the sect members. The congregation, who had a good ear, heard the words and immediately began to talk in a whisper. Li Yunqing, the altar master of the Yincheng Branch, heard the discussion, and came forward to ask if he didn't know the current affairs.
"Meng Shoujiao, is what this guy said true? You were ...... before"
"If you don't say anything, attack the city immediately. Lord Li Tan, I want you to personally lead the soldiers and horses of the Yancheng Branch to attack the city gate. There must be no mistakes. Meng Xiang shouted.
Li Yunqing was stunned, stunned.
"What are you doing? Besiege! Meng Xiang pulled out his waist knife.
"Yes, yes, siege. Kill me! Li Yunqing shook his head, reacted immediately, and roared out of his voice.
All the cultists were agitated, and in the midst of the torches, a large black flag was raised in the air, with a large word 'saint' written on it. A star and a moon are drawn. The black flag was unfurled, and all the sect members became excited, shouting loudly: "The Holy Father is the greatest, Ze is the heaven and the earth, kill all the evil demons, and the Holy Sect is respected." ”
"Kill!" With a wave of Meng Xiang's long knife, the sect members rushed like wolf dogs that had loosened their chains, rushing straight to the city wall.
On the city wall, everyone was as if they had fallen into the clouds and fog by Lin Jue's words. When the bandits attacked, Wei Dakui hurriedly asked, "Lord Lin, is what you said true?" This Qingjiao was made up by Haidongqing's gang of bandits? Lord Lin has exterminated them? ”
Lin Jue laughed and said, "Don't you think it's incredible? In fact, until just now, I was still in the dark until I met this Meng Xiang. The world is too small, where don't we meet at the end of the world. ”
Wei Dakui raised his big finger and said, "I didn't expect it, really."
Unexpectedly, Lord Lin was powerful and served. However, tonight, when the enemy met him, he was very red-eyed, and I was afraid that Meng Xiang would like to eat Lord Lin alive. ”
Lin Jue burst out laughing. On the side, Zhao Youji shouted in a deep voice: "They are attacking, let's talk about it after the success of defending the city." ”
The siege methods of the Qingjiao cultists were very primitive, they flocked to the bottom of the city walls in a swarm, and there was no organization at all. In fact, they were a rabble and could not be organized. On the contrary, this way of rushing forward together can arouse their fighting spirit even more. Everyone emboldens each other, but it boosts morale even more.
Although Meng Xiang was born as a bandit, he has been entrenched on the island for many years and led the bandits to harass the inland, and has experienced many battles large and small. For war, he still knows some military strategy. But he was also unable to turn these congregations into a commanding force in a short period of time. In two days of haste, he only selected about 4,000 people to form a slightly decent contingent that had been put together on an improvised basis. These people are also the backbone of the entire siege cult and the strength they rely on.
When those ignorant sect members rushed violently, Meng Xiang let these more than 4,000 people stand still. He knew that the first wave of blows from the defenders of the city would be the most ferocious. The first wave of soldiers was full of strength and morale. The arrows are not yet consumed. There are plenty of rolling logs and stones on the city. The first wave of siege is actually equivalent to sending people to death. Therefore, these sect members rushed up, which was exactly what Meng Xiang wanted to see. He had to wait for a few waves of supplies on the head of the city to be consumed, and then when he was weak, he would let these 4,000 people attack the city. There will be twice the effect with half the effort. As for these sect members going up to death like this, Meng Xiang didn't care.
As Meng Xiang expected, the countless sect members didn't understand the cruelty of war at all, and they had no idea how many things that could kill them were waiting for them in the city. They rushed to the city wall with a bundle of simple ladders, and there was no moat dug around the county seat of Yangwu County, which gave them greater convenience. They thought that all they had to do was rush under the city walls, set up hundreds of ladders, and climb up in a swarm. And the city was taken.
However, these poor bewitched creatures were greeted by a storm of arrows in the sky. A thousand soldiers of the Forbidden Army, that is all carrying crossbow arrows. Even there were more than three hundred crossbows, and the rest were armed with ordinary bows and arrows. When the bandits rushed to within seventy or eighty paces from the slope, Wei Dakui gave the order to release the arrows.
'Buzzing' 'Whoosh' Patches of crossbow arrows and ordinary arrows rained down on them. The cultists have no armor, no shields, and no experience in combat, and they are completely a group of live targets. They don't even know how to charge in a skirmish formation to avoid the huge damage caused by the opponent's arrows. The more ferocious the arrows, the more instinctively they pushed, and as a result, they became the preferred targets.
The flesh and blood on the battlefield were accompanied by heart-rending screams, and countless sect members failed to obtain the divine power protection of the holy religion they believed in. The five times a day pouting prayers didn't give them any superpowers, and they didn't win them even a little more protection and luck than any ordinary person. Arrows pierced bloody holes in their flesh like vipers, pinning them to the ground and shooting them like hedgehogs or porcupines. They fell to the ground and sprinkled their hot, foolish blood on the hot, sun-scorched ground. I'm afraid they didn't understand what they died for.
