Chapter 120: The Battle of Jingyang City (4)
In the afternoon, the siege engines of Donglai Kingdom launched another attack, and there was no further action after that.
At nightfall, Tu Shaoxiong inspected the city wall as he had done before returning to the city tower.
Standing on the top of the castle tower, you can see the military camp of Donglai Kingdom from afar.
"Why did they turn off the lights so early today?" Looking at the dark patch in the distance, Tu Shaoxiong muttered to himself. After thinking for a while, Tu Shaoxiong felt that something was wrong, and the guards he called instructed: "Notify me, and all of them will be double-posted this year." Also, the walls of the four places will be patrolled as well! Tu Shaoxiong thought for a while and said: "In the city, we will also send more people to patrol!" ”
The guards agreed, but Tu Shaoxiong still felt a little uneasy, so he left the city tower again. Went around.
Wei Xia and 5,000 men had already infiltrated Jingyang City through a dry river, and only waited until it was dark before they began to act.
At this time, it was already completely dark, and Wei Xia divided the five thousand people into five teams, four of which set fire to various parts of the city, causing chaos, and the other team took advantage of the chaos to open the city gates!
At this time, outside Jingyang City, Orion, Murhajita and others had already come to the vicinity of Jingyang City to hide, just waiting for the fire in the city to be together, and immediately launched an offensive!
At this time, Wei Xia, who was on patrol, had already seen the fires in the city!
"General Qiyu, there are many fires in the city!" A guard came to Wei Xia to give a message.
"Let the third echelon send someone to extinguish the fire! Inform the second echelon to all go up to the inner city wall! Tu Shaoxiong immediately ordered. After speaking, Tu Shaoxiong immediately climbed the outer city wall and let people shoot a rocket out of the city. The rocket flew forward with a string of lights!
"There's an enemy down there!" The defenders on the city wall saw the Donglai army marching towards Jingyang City by the light of the fire!
"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Tu Shaoxiong shouted loudly.
"It's not good to be discovered!" Murhajita said.
"Attack hard!" Orion shouted and led the army to rush forward!
Not far behind, Murhajita also led his troops to rush forward!
"Discovered?" Wen Bufan stood in the big tent and said, "It seems that this Tu Shaoxiong is really not simple!" ”
"Now General Murha and General Orion have rushed up!" Li Dakui said.
"They will definitely rush forward, if they retreat, Wei Xia will be finished!" Wen Bufan said: "Notify the troops, go all out to attack!" ”
"Yes!" Li Dakui agreed, got out of the camp, and led his 100,000 reinforcements towards Jingyang City.
At this time, Wei Xia was indeed in an unprecedented predicament, they had come to the inner gate of the north city smoothly, but before they could do it, they saw a large number of people boarding the inner city wall.
Wei Xia summed up in his heart, even if he could open the gate of the inner city, he couldn't open the gate of the outer city. The 1,000 of them couldn't get out of the gate at all.
So Wei Xia made a quick decision, and while retreating, he gathered the other brothers who were still lighting fires everywhere. Retreat towards the south gate. The defense of the south gate was not very strict, so Wei Xia and the others successfully withdrew from the south gate and fled to a deep mountain. The defenders of Jingyang City who were chasing Wei Xia did not continue the pursuit, but returned to Jingyang City and joined the defense of the North Gate.
The news of the escape of Wei Xia and the others, Murhajita and Orion did not know.
They are attacking Jingyang City with all their strength at this time!
"Your Majesty! General Murha and General Orion requested the use of large siege engines! Yu Qingan said to Wen Bufan.
"Using large siege weapons? Our men are besieging the city, and it will hurt our people! Wen Bufan said.
"King, if we attack so strongly, our casualties will be even greater!" Yu Qing'an said.
Wen Bufan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Just do what they say!" ”
So a rain of arrows and stones flew towards Jingyang City again. No one on both sides of the fierce battle dodged, and they were smashed one after another, most of these stones and arrows rained down on the city wall of Jingyang City, and the defenders who were still concentrating on throwing rolling stone logs under the city wall were smashed into a large area!
"Hurry up and hide, it doesn't matter if they attack, they will also be hit by stones!" Tu Shaoxiong commanded loudly, and the defenders who were not hit hurriedly hid to avoid the rain of stones and arrows.
The soldiers of Donglai Kingdom, who had already stormed the city wall, shouted loudly to the bottom of the city wall: "Hurry up! They're hiding! "But as soon as the soldiers finished shouting, they were shot by rows of arrows! Fallen on the city walls!
Murhajita and Orion did not stop besieging the city, and the two of them braved the rain of stones and arrows to climb the city wall! Those soldiers of Donglai Kingdom saw that the main general was so desperate, and they also climbed towards the city wall.
After Wei Xia and the others fled into the mountains, seeing that no one was chasing them, they quietly sneaked back to the south gate of Jingyang City. Wei Xia learned a few bird calls, and a few bird calls came out of the city. Wei Xia was overjoyed, and sure enough, a moment later, the south gate of Jingyang City opened.
It turned out that when Wei Xia escaped from Jingyang City, he arranged for people to quietly lurk in Jingyang City, just waiting for those defenders to leave, and then kill the remaining soldiers and wait for Wei Xia and them to come back.
Wei Xia and the others quietly returned to Jingyang City.
"Listen to the fight in the north!" One of Wei Xia's subordinates said.
"Orion and Lao Ha must think that we are trapped in the city, which is why they are so desperate to attack the city! Since the brothers outside are so desperate! We can't be idle! Since we can't open the city gate, we will kill directly to the city wall, everyone remember, we have to fight and shout at the same time, just say that we have broken through the south gate! Wei Xia said.
"Lao Wei, why don't we continue to set fires! That way, we don't have to shout, and they'll know we're in the city! A person behind Wei Xia said.
"Lao Ji, you're a chicken thief! But what you don't say makes a lot of sense. You and Kuroko each take a thousand people to the city to set fires, it's still the old rule, you are not allowed to burn people's houses! Wei Xia said: "The rest of the people, first light this south gate with me, and then kill the city wall!" ”
Lao Ji and Kuroko agreed to go. Wei Xia pointed at the south gate and then led 3,000 people directly from the south gate to the city wall, all the way to the north!
"General Tu, in the city, the south gate is flooding again!" A partial general looked at Tu Shaoxiong and said.
"What?" Tu Shaoxiong said: "What is the third echelon doing? ”
"I've searched the city, but I haven't found anyone who lit the fire." The general said.
When Tu Shaoxiong heard this, his face changed, and he said: "Then the third echelon will immediately go up to the city wall, go up nearby, and then converge at the north gate!" ”
"Yes!" The general agreed.
But at this time, the walls on both sides of the city at the same time shouted to kill!
