Chapter 84: Li Chao (2)

Huang Mengjia gave a stick of incense time, saying that it was to let the city surrender, but in fact, it objectively gave the city time to prepare for defense. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but the time for a stick of incense is too short, and it is placed in a large-scale state and county, and nothing can be done in this time.

Fortunately, the county seat of Lingao is really not big, and there are only a few large households, and when they heard that the Li people were attacking the city, they panicked, and sent the healthy servants of the family to come, and in a hurry, they also gathered one or two hundred people, carrying sticks, and went up to the city wall.

Wu Xian Ling looked at the sticks in the hands of many people and even the temporarily removed door bolts, and then looked at the steel knives in the hands of the local soldiers under the city, and a sense of powerlessness surged in his heart. The county treasury has some swords in stock. But at this moment, the siege of the rebels is already on the line, and it is too late to return to the county treasury to take out the swords and distribute them. That's it, it's a big deal to die for the country today and leave a good name behind you.

looked around and found that only Master Qian was with him, and none of the other county officials were gone, so he was furious.

"Come on, call Wang Xiancheng and them, today's thieves are attacking the city, whoever retreats and evades, this official will join him to escape from the battle, and he will be taught to take off his official robes!"

In addition to the Zhengyin sitting county order, Zuo Erguan County, there is only a classic history, the main Bo is temporarily vacant, the former Bo has just returned to his hometown, no one is willing to come to this remote state and county, it is not easy to fill the vacancy, and it can only be temporarily empty. The official of Zhengyin Hall was furious, the county and the history of the canon couldn't hide, and no one could afford to take down the big hat that escaped from the battle, so he could only come to the city wall from his home in disgrace.

The county surnamed Wang, and the classic history surnamed Lin, are all locals, and they are well aware of the severity of the Li rebellion -- the contradictions between the Li and Han in Qiongzhou have been around for a long time, and the Li people of all dynasties have made many rebellions, and it is not the first time that the Li people have attacked the county seat. The two of them wanted to hide at home, if the city was broken, they would pretend to be the people to fool the past, and now they were forced to wear official robes and go up to the city wall, scolding Wu Mingjin in their hearts for the eighteenth generation of their ancestors, while thinking about how to get out.

The time of a stick of incense passed quickly, and Wu County Ling would definitely not open the city gate to surrender, Huang Mengjia raised his knife and shouted: "Siege the city!" ”

Dozens of native soldiers rushed towards the city wall with ladders, and more native soldiers with swords followed. Without the interference of bows and arrows, several ladders were quickly erected on the city wall, and the natives bit their hook knives in their mouths, climbed up the ladders, and climbed up one after another.

The officials on the city wall, together with the healthy servants, were less than 200 people, and they had no experience in defending the city, and they were panicked when they saw the soldiers trying to climb up, some people went to push ladders, some people picked up fragments of bricks and threw them down, and some people took wooden sticks and iron rulers to smash the native soldiers who were about to climb to the battlement.

In the face of unorganized and chaotic resistance, the native soldiers just silently climbed up, during which some were hit by bricks or stabbed by wooden sticks and fell down the ladder, but the number of people on both sides was quite different, and the resistance of the city head was like throwing a few stones in the lake, stirring up a few waves and then there was no movement, and soon there were native soldiers who climbed the city and fought with each other.

Wu Mingjin watched as one native soldier climbed the wall, then two, three, more and more, nervous and scared, but there was nothing to be done. He was a civil servant, and he had read many books of sages, but they were of no use at the moment.

Although he secretly hated Wu County's order to call himself to the city, everyone was still a grasshopper on a rope after all, seeing that the situation was critical, he stood up and commanded loudly, and ordered everyone to concentrate their hands to cut and push, destroying several ladders, pushing down, and the momentum of the siege was blocked. When you have your hands free, you will besiege the dozen or so native soldiers on the city wall.

On the city wall, the defender of the city occupies a local advantage, everyone is on the sticks, the native soldiers are outnumbered, several people are killed and wounded, the rest of the people see that they are invincible, and jump off the city wall directly, the city wall of the county town is not too high, the legs and feet may be broken, and they can't fall to death.

Wu Xianling saw it clearly, and couldn't help shouting: "Lin Dianshi, do a good job, this official will definitely ask for credit for you!" ”

Lin Dianshi thanked him, but turned around but elongated his face. The city defense of the county seat is too simple, and it has been peaceful for a long time, and there are no castle defense equipment such as sassal wood, wolf tooth slapper, fire pot, etc., even if it is with gold juice, it is too late to boil. And there are a lot of people on the other side, even if they repel an attack, it will be useless, and they can only take one step at a time.

Under the city, behind the array of Chopping Foot Mountain, Xia Nan took Huang Hansheng, Yang Youji and all the guards to hide in the woods to watch the battle. Seeing that the first wave of attacks was blocked, Xia Nan shook his head: "This is only a remote state and county, the number of defenders is far less than the besieging side, and they are all rabble, if it is a big city in the Central Plains, this siege battle is afraid that it will be even more difficult." ”

He ordered Huang and Yang: "I have been training with us for a while, and these native soldiers are my reserve soldiers, and we can't have too many casualties in this senseless siege." The two of you go up and lead the people who are good at shooting in the foot-cutting mountain, suppress the city, and help them take the county seat in one go! ”

The two took the order and left the battle. When he arrived at the Foot Cutting Formation, Huang Hansheng said to Huang Mengjia: "Lord Huang Mountain, the master has a life, you send a warrior who is good at shooting in the mountain to suppress the city head with the two of us." ”

Huang Mengjia had an unforgettable experience of the archery skills of these two people, and even agreed, calling out ten people who were good at archery shooting when hunting on weekdays, and followed the two of them.

The two led ten archers to the city, stretched out their bows and arrows, and aimed at the head of the city. At this time, the native soldiers launched another wave of attacks, erected several ladders that had not yet been damaged, and climbed up again. Many heads appeared out of the battlements at the head of the city, and they wanted to repeat the old trick and push the ladder away from the wall.

Huang and Yang took the lead in shooting the arrows in their hands, and the two healthy servants were hit by arrows in front of the door, and fell down with their heads up, and the ten shooters behind them also shot one after another. Even if it wasn't for the arrows, at such a close distance, the hit rate was also very high, and everyone in the city fell for a while.

Two rounds of arrows came down, and Lin Dianshi's hands and feet in the city were cold.

The enemy has used bows and arrows, and the enemy has no power to fight back, how can this city be defended? Many of the arrows shot up are used by hunters, the lethality is average, and the middle one may not be killed, but there are a few arrows that are obviously heavy arrows, and the middle one is killed immediately, and the fatal is the quasi-scary, which can be called the arrow without missing a shot. As long as these strong bows are there, everyone defending the city will not dare to come forward.

The pressure on the wall disappeared, and the native soldiers climbed up quickly, and soon reached the top of the city, jumping up one after another, and in a moment, the number of native soldiers on the head of the city was equal to the number of defenders. As soon as the number of people approached, the combat effectiveness of the local soldiers was revealed, and one could fight two or three servants. The people defending the city already relied on the courage of the people, and the number of people was not dominant, and they were defeated and retreated, and they had already turned around and ran away.

Lin Dianshi saw that the general trend had gone, so he turned around and ran, followed by Wang Xiancheng.

Master Qian also had no idea of martyrdom, and followed Lin Dianshi and Wang Xiancheng to run under the city wall. When he passed by Wu Xianling's side, he hesitated slightly, but still pulled his sleeve robe, and at this time, he didn't care about any condescension, and shouted: "The proprietor, stay in the green mountains without fear of no firewood, and it is important to keep a useful body!" ”
