(Ask for a commuter pass!) These days, I have insomnia, and I can't fall asleep until dawn in bed every day, and I can't torture and suffer. I'm trying to find a way to turn it around, and the state is extremely bad, so let's wait for Muzi to raise a better state before breaking out! ）

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the enemy was underestimated during the day, but Huang Chao, who was defeated by the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Zhenguo Army, was annoyed and angry, and despite Shang Junchang's opposition again, after reorganizing the troops and horses, he made a comeback. This time, Shang Rang selected 3,000 elite veterans to sneak to the east gate of Yucheng, preparing to attack the south gate. However, the Zhenguo army had already prepared, and there seemed to be no one on the city, but in fact, the battlements were full of elite soldiers.

Shang Rang stood in the night, and was overjoyed to see hundreds of old brothers climbing up to the top of the city with hooks. Listening closely, there was a sudden sound of gold and iron on the top of the city, and then it immediately fell silent.

Looking at the city gate of the black hole, Shang Rang's face turned pale, but he didn't expect more than 100 brothers to be buried like this.

"General, look, the city gate is open, and the old scar has taken the city gate." Suddenly, an exclamation sounded in his ears, and Shang Rang raised his head and looked at the gradually opening city gate, his eyes full of disbelief.

Before he could give the order, the three thousand thieves who were in ambush not far from the city had already shouted and rushed towards the slowly opening city gate. Shang Rang wondered how he could take the city gate so easily. But the brothers had already rushed over, and he had no choice but to follow the charge.

Seeing that the hundreds of brothers in front of him had rushed into the city, Shang Rang's heart finally let go. Now, no matter what, the city gate has finally been taken.

Shang Rang was excited, waving his horse lance and shouting: "Rush, rush." Rush! ”

Nearly half a centaur had already rushed into the city. Shang Rang was only a few feet away from the city gate. Suddenly, there was a loud roar, and the entire East Gate Tower suddenly collapsed, countless smoke and dust rose up, and dozens of people who were at the City Gate Tower were immediately crushed into flesh.

Shang Rang's war horse stood up, and a few drops of liquid suddenly splashed on his face, it's raining? Shang Rang looked up, the sky was not raining, and he wiped the liquid from his face with his hand. But there was still a hint of warmth, the blood of the brothers.

This sudden collapse made Shang Rang stunned. Why did the city gate tower suddenly collapse?

Before he could figure out the result, through a pile of rubble and wood, there were already countless sounds of gold and iron on the other side, as well as the neighing of war horses and the sound of human voices screaming. Shang Rang's face changed drastically, and he already understood what was going on.

They were tricked, and it was not their own brothers who opened the door. It was the Don army, who deliberately lured them into the city. Then suddenly he crossed the gate tower and split them in two.

"Rush, rush in!" Shang Rang shouted, these 3,000 people are all his own capital, and now half of the city is in the sky at once, how can he not be angry. To Shang Rang's delight, although the collapse of the city gate tower separated them, it also allowed them to climb directly over the ruin mountain and enter the city.

The grass thieves scrambled to climb, using both hands and feet. Seeing that he had climbed to the top and was about to enter the city, countless sharp arrows suddenly flew from all directions, and the sound of the bang was non-stop, and hundreds of people who had just climbed up were hit by the arrows and fell.

Several successive charges only added countless corpses to the ruins.

Half an hour later, the sound of killing in the city faded away, and finally stopped, and then, there was silence.

Shang Rang Zhilu said, the more than 1,000 old brothers are gone. He angrily slammed his hands on the ground, but to no avail.

Half an hour later, Wang Xianzhi, Shang Junchang and others arrived with 13,000 soldiers and horses who had reorganized the city. This time, they didn't bring those auxiliary servants, but let Cao Shixiong come with the auxiliary army in the rear.

When he arrived in the east city of Yucheng, he saw Shang Rang, who only had more than 1,000 people left.

Knowing that Shang Rang had fallen for the Tang Army's plan and lost almost 2,000 brothers, Wang Xianzhi was furious.

He is now eager to break the city immediately, and all the officers and soldiers in the city will be crushed and scattered.

"Siege, Siege Immediately!"

Shang Junchang comforted his brother a few words, and said to Wang Xianzhi: "Big brother, the official army is strong in the elite and sophisticated, and we are better than the crowd. I thought that we should send 3,000 men to attack the three walls on the west and the north, 1,000 men on each side, and only make a feint. In addition, we will transfer 5,000 men and horses to storm the eastern city, and give full play to our numerical advantage to break the city. ”

"Why don't you send five thousand more people together?" Wang Xianzhi was puzzled.

"This is reserved as a reserve, although the remaining three sides are feints, but if the Tang army really dares to transfer all the soldiers and horses to Dongcheng, then our five thousand reserves will be sent to the rest of the weak points, and in one fell swoop will raid and break the city, killing him by surprise." Shang Jun said coldly.

Wang Xianzhi patted Shang Junchang's arm, "Okay, the second brother is smart, so let's do it." ”

As Wang Xianzhi's military order was issued, dozens of big drums among the grass thieves shook like thunder. At the same time, in the dark of night, grass thieves attacked the city from all sides.

Li Jing sat in the South City Gatehouse, still leisurely looking at the book of soldiers. The other soldiers were originally a little nervous, but seeing the handsome's relaxed performance, they couldn't help but relax their nervous hearts a lot.

"Marshal, do you want to let someone lead his troops out of the city to rush and kill for a while?" Zhou Dewei asked, he had already seen that the enemy army did not bring auxiliary troops this time.

Li Jing smiled, "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Even the thieves and soldiers want to fight at night, don't you know that in addition to sneak attacks, night battles are actually the most difficult battles to fight? Now that the thief's plan to sneak attack has been exposed, not only did he not retreat, but instead attacked the city by himself, which was looking for death. The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the thief army has no siege equipment first, and secondly, it is not an elite, and it is really a big joke that they still want to fight in the night. Let Liu Xun let a few boys play with them, just to temper the selection of the front army. ”

Fighting a night war is not something that can be fought. Cold weapon warfare, even if it is fought during the day, is also difficult to command. And a rabble army like the thief army is difficult to command in peacetime, let alone in night battles. What's more, those hungry and homeless people are already thin and weak, and it is even more difficult to see at night. Even if you have a torch, I'm afraid that your eyes won't be good. Under such circumstances, a rabble army without siege equipment actually wanted to storm the city guarded by elite officers and soldiers, which was really self-defeating.

To the east of the city, most of the grass army fiercely attacked the city.

Although it was violent, it was just a loud shout, and in fact, they had no other siege equipment except for dozens of ladders. A large crowd of homeless people dressed in a mess rushed up.

Li Cunxiao, who was in charge of the east gate, looked at it coldly and did not move.

Shang Junchang personally commanded the assembled more than 1,000 archers to line up in an array, slowly pressed down the city, and after reaching the bottom of the city sixty steps, he began to release arrows. Most of the archers among the grass thieves used to be hunters, and thousands of them released arrows, and they were also very powerful.

Some of the whizzing arrows were fired at the walls, some whizzed over the heads of the defenders of the city, and some went directly at the sandbags piled up at the head of the city.

"Camp master, are you going to fight back?" Zhu Wen stood beside Li Cunxiao and asked loudly.

Li Cunxiao shook his head and looked down at the city lightly, "Don't worry, tell me when the thieves reach fifty steps." ”

After speaking, Li Cunxiao took off the gourd in his hand and took a sip with his neck up. Zhu Wen whispered beside him: "Camp master, the regulations in the army, it is forbidden to drink alcohol during the battle, and those who violate the rules will be punished with twenty rods." If serious consequences are caused, the heaviest punishment can be beheading. Zhu Wen is still very grateful to this boss, he has heard that this boss has said a lot of good things for him in front of the big boss.

"Penalty a bird!" Li Cunxiao scolded, "Lao Tzu's gourd is filled with water, and you can't drink the water in the war?" ”

Zhu Wen obviously smelled the wine, but when he heard him say this, he didn't say anything, so he had to turn his head and stare at the thief.

"Camp master, the thieves are already fifty paces!"

"Tell me when the thief is nearly thirty paces." Li Cunxiao raised his head and took a big sip of wine. It was indeed wine in the gourd, but it was fruit wine, like water. Although he didn't have much energy, he didn't dare to really drink liquor in the battle. This fruit wine is also drunk secretly, which can be regarded as an addiction reliever.

"Yanei, the thief has already reached within thirty steps!" Zhu Wen shouted.

When Li Cunxiao heard this, he stuffed the gourd, hung it on his waist, picked up a throwing gun, and shouted at Zhu Wen: "Brother Wuying obeys the order, throw the gun and prepare!" Shoot! ”

There were not many reserves of bows and arrows in the city, and most of them were given to archers who were very good at archery. The city didn't have time to make catapults for a while, so Li Jing asked them to collect wood from the city and made many simple throwing guns. Although the throwing spear is simple, each soldier has a spear throwing device on his body, and the two are added to the head, and he stands on the head of the city to attack downward, so the effect is still excellent.

Li Cunxiao directly grabbed a sharp wooden stake about the thickness of one arm, and did not need to put an iron spear head, directly held it in his hand, twisted his waist and raised his arm, and threw it forward, and suddenly the sharp wooden stake flew to the city like a big crossbow, and directly strung up three thieves. In the case of such a dense city under the city, there is no need to prepare at all, just shoot and kill three of them.

Li Cunxiao's brave performance attracted a warm cheer and cheer from the city.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the soldiers took spear throwers and threw their simple spears towards the thieves under the city.

While the other soldiers threw their spears, Zhu Wen scattered around the city with more than 100 archers from the fifth battalion, watching the enemy get closer and closer, and had already entered within thirty steps, and couldn't help but show a little excitement on his face.

A top archer who can penetrate Yang in 100 steps. The archers who take one step shoot their bows within sixty steps, but when they open the bow at sixty steps, they are generally random arrows.

Sperm ejaculation, on the other hand, is much more difficult. Especially at night, it's harder.

Li Cunxiao's order to Zhu Wen was to let him take those archers to block the siege of the thief army, that is, to shoot accurately. Specialize in shooting officers in iron armor and leather armor and brave thieves. If you want to shoot accurately, it is impossible to shoot at sixty paces, but if it is within thirty steps, and it is condescending, hiding behind the arrow stack, this greatly increases the success rate.

"Archer, release the arrow!"

Zhu Wen shouted, the stone step bow in his hand was held up like a full moon, and as soon as the finger holding the arrow was loosened, an armor-piercing arrow had already left the string. With the sound of the bowstring, a tall thief army in iron armor rushed in front of the city and fell! (To be continued......)
