386 Siege
Outside the city, Wang Jiayin, accompanied by a group of leaders, pointed at the head of Dai County. I saw him smile and said: "See, the head of the city is not enough, there are many of us, we will besiege the city first and attack together, don't give the city a chance to organize Ding Zhuang, and strive to go down with one drum!" ”
The advantage of a surprise attack is that it can make the general county town have insufficient troops, and if Ding Zhuang is temporarily mobilized to defend the city, it will inevitably be in a hurry, and it will be difficult to be effective.
The other chieftains naturally had eyes, and they themselves could see the situation at the head of the city. Seeing that the city head was harassed by the cavalry, although there were many heads, the number was still very weak compared to the city head, and it was obvious that it was indeed as the alliance leader said, the incident happened suddenly, so that the city head was not enough.
"Brother Alliance Leader is right, there are indeed insufficient troops in the city!"
"Let's come by surprise, and if we can close the city gate and defend the city, it's already the power of the dog official in the city."
"If we defeat Dai County, not only can the general soldier who does business come to the rescue quickly, but also let us have a good rest in the city, and then wait for work and beat his mother!"
"Yes, yes, it looks like I can rest in the city tonight!"
“……”
After seeing the situation in the city, most of the leaders were optimistic and expressed their opinions loudly.
Wang Jiayin glanced at them, with a smile on his face, obviously in a good mood. He knew that a loose ally like this would have to win in order to rally them around him. Otherwise, if everything doesn't go well, they will definitely go their separate ways.
He waited for a while, and then let them all have their own amusement before he said, "Chiefs, let your cavalry continue to harass the city, and don't give them a chance to rest. As soon as the infantry arrives, it will be time for us to attack the city! ”
"Okay, listen to the alliance leader's brother!" Breaking into the sky immediately responded, and immediately asked his subordinates to pass the order.
"Brother Alliance Leader, don't worry, let's go!" King Chuang also responded with his fists in his fists, and immediately asked the guards around him to go and give orders. The other leaders also gave orders to the cavalry to continue to harass the city.
The cavalry among the thieves was mostly a rout of the border army. They are different from the ordinary thieves who are affected by the disaster, and they know that the cannon is actually just like that, and it looks powerful, but in fact, a cannon can kill a few people at most. As long as you avoid the direction of the gun, or run as far below the city as possible, it will be safe.
Therefore, these cavalrymen were not afraid of the cannons on the city, and continued to roar around the city, and from time to time they fired an arrow at the city. Even if he misses, he shouts loudly, as if he is happier than he is shot.
This kind of noisy sound completely surrounded the city of Daixian City, and the sound was so loud that the county dignitaries in the official office almost got under the table, and they trembled in panic.
Although the county lieutenant is a little stronger than the county magistrate, it can be seen from his face that he also seems to be very panicked. He should have been at the head of the city, but he kept standing at the door and said to the county commander in the house: "The county is in a panic, there are subordinates, and the thieves don't want to enter the house!" ”
Just when they were panicking, a servant suddenly rushed in from outside, and when he saw that the county lieutenant was there, he clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and at the same time said loudly: "Lord Sun has an order, please ask the county lord and the county lieutenant to go to the street to appease the people, just walk around the street, so that the people can see it and feel at ease." There is Lord Sun at the head of the city, and there will be no trouble! ”
As soon as he heard this, the county lieutenant strengthened his courage first, and hurriedly went into the house to talk to the county honor. The two of them didn't dare to disobey Sun Chuanting's words, and they also believed in Sun Chuanting's ability. As long as they are not allowed to go to the city, they still have the ability to act.
About an hour later, when the sun was overhead, the thieves' infantry finally arrived. The mountains are all over the wilderness, densely packed with human heads. This kind of casual way without military discipline made the people in the city look at it, and there was a feeling that there were countless thieves.
"Lord Sun has an order, except for the lookout post, the rest of the soldiers are all resting. It was impossible for those cavalry to climb the city walls, so they were all rested. One of the heralds shouted loudly, bending slightly to avoid being hit by stray arrows from outside the city, and trotted around the city, shouting loudly.
In the arrow tower at the head of the city, Baihu said a little worriedly: "Patriarch, why are there so many thieves in this place?" ”
Sun Chuanting ignored it, just frowned, kept scanning the situation outside the city, and waited for a while before saying: "The thieves in Qin and Jin have been driven together by the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, what is so strange about this number of people!" You see, the infantry outside the city, there are hundreds of simple ladders used for siege. It seems that these thieves have been prepared for a long time, and they want to take advantage of the large number of people to attack the city from all sides. Hehe......"
Obviously, the hundred households were looking at the number of people outside the city, but Sun Chuanting was verifying the number of siege ladders outside the city. The focus of the two observations is not at one point.
Hearing Sun Chuanting's sneer with a little contempt, Baihu felt a sigh of relief for no reason. Adults are obviously very confident, and that's good!
Seeing that the infantry army outside the city was burying a pot and cooking rice, Sun Chuanting immediately ordered: "The order will go down, and according to the prior agreement, the big households in the city will provide food together." Except for the existing troops on the head of the city, no other people shall go to the city, and there shall be no mistakes! ”
"Yes, Patriarch!" Baihu immediately agreed, and immediately asked people to pass the order.
Sun Chuanting was not mistaken, the thief infantry outside the city had just eaten and had no rest, and began to besiege the city. Without any other measure, the thieves took advantage of their large number and began to attack the city almost simultaneously from all sides.
The thieves hid behind their shields, attracting the attention of the defenders at the head of the city, covering the archers among the thieves, and the musketeers to suppress the city from a distance. The thieves carrying improvised ladders shouted and ran down the walls.
At the head of the city, the defenders naturally began to return fire. The artillery roared again, plowed deep trenches of flesh and blood outside the city. The archers and musketeers at the head of the city also beckoned down, trying to stop the thieves from approaching the walls.
However, the thieves were so numerous that they did not delay until they rushed under the walls and began to climb up the ladder in a hurry.
Such scenes, one, twice, three places...... Not long after, on the outside of the city wall of the county seat of Daixian, a series of simple ladders have been erected, and there are thieves at the bottom, stepping on the ladders and starting to climb up.
It was only at this time that Sun Chuanting coldly ordered: "Blow the trumpet!" ”
But when a long trumpet sounded, and the shouts of slaughter sounded, the defenders at the head of the city began to throw wood and stones to the ladder.
Suddenly, almost nothing was wasted, and they smashed on the thieves gathered below, killing and wounding them.
In the distance outside the city, King Zijin Liang was a little distressed when he saw it for his own use, and couldn't help but say: "A lot of brothers have died!" ”
"How can there be no dead in a war, this is still a siege, and the dead are even more inevitable." Wang Jiayin was not affected at all and said, "It happened suddenly, how much rolling wood and stone savings can be in the small county, wait for these, see how they can stop it!" ”
