Chapter 153: The Siege of the Rogue (Part II)

The War Readiness Division sent a hot meal to reward the soldiers defending the city.

At this time, no one dared to leave the city walls. Even Ouyang Shuo did not leave. He asked Sangu Restaurant to prepare some wine and food, and sent them to the rest room of the city tower to entertain Bai Hua and the others.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, several members of the Shanhai Alliance chatted while eating. The topic of the chat naturally focused on the siege of the rogue that had just ended the first half.

"I really didn't expect that the siege of the rogues would be so fierce." Looking for the dragon point said with emotion.

"yes, I don't have any confidence anymore." The phoenix prisoner echoed, looking unconfident.

Bai Hua glanced at Ouyang Shuo with some concern, and asked with concern: "Wuyi, are you confident in the attack in the afternoon?" The others also looked at Ouyang Shuo with concern.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and said, "It's okay." In the morning, he blocked the onslaught of the rogue, and the opponent's sharpness had been lost, and as long as he didn't make a mistake in the afternoon, there shouldn't be much of a problem in blocking it. ”

"However, the army of Shanhai Town in the morning also suffered great losses. Moreover, there are 1,000 elite rogues and 1,000 cavalry on the other side, and they have not yet been dispatched. Bai Hua was not as optimistic as Ouyang Shuo.

According to post-war statistics, among the 6,700 bandits, 700 were killed, 300 were captured, and 200 escaped. 3,000 ordinary rogues, 1,200 killed in battle; 1,000 elite rogues, 300 killed in battle. In other words, the rogues still retain more than half of their combat power. Of course, such a large battle loss is a very fatal blow to the morale of the Liukou, and whether you can work so hard in the afternoon is a big question mark.

On the side of Shanhai Town, the North Sea Fleet's 500 naval troops lost 50 people; There were 400 crossbowmen in the city defense battalion of Shanhai Town, and 50 people were lost; 1,100 sword and shield soldiers, 200 men; 500 people, 80 people lost. Compared with the Liukou, the battle loss ratio between the two sides is about 1:5, which is already a very ideal battle loss ratio.

"The battle losses of the rogues are greater than ours, so let's see how they deal with them in the afternoon." Ouyang Shuo meant something.

……

At the same time, the big tent of the rogue.

"Big brother, the situation is a little bad, how should I deal with it in the afternoon?" The Black Rider asked.

Huo Kui was very calm, heyed, and said, "In the afternoon, it's time for you to appear, second brother." ”

"How?" The Black Rider was a little confused.

"In the morning, I arranged for someone to build a pontoon bridge, and I was ready for both. During the siege of the city in the morning, according to the report of the retired son, the other party transferred a group of reinforcements at the last moment. This batch of reinforcements must have been transferred from the north gate or the east gate. In this way, Shanhai Town's defense at the North Gate and the East Gate must be further weakened, and this is our opportunity. Second brother, you immediately take your cavalry, take a detour from behind, cross the moat from the pontoon bridge, and raid the opponent's north gate. Remember, you have to wait for Simon to attack before you start the attack, you can't advance it, so that the other side is on guard, understand? Huo Kui explained.

"Understood!" The Black Rider said excitedly.

……

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the rogues attacked again. This time, Huo Kui did not leave any reserve troops, and ordered the whole army to press, making sure to put huge pressure on the West Gate, so that Shanhai Town had no time to take care of the North Gate.

Ouyang Shuo stood on the city tower and saw that the original thousand cavalry on the flank of the Liukou had disappeared, and he immediately had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, a signal flare rose in the sky to the north, which meant that it had been attacked.

"Herald!"

"In!"

"Order the North Sea Fleet to immediately enter the moat and assist in the defense of the North Gate."

"Whoa!"

After the herald left, Bai Hua on the side said with emotion: "These rogues are really cunning and shrewd, and once they find a hole in our defense, they will not hesitate to fight. ”

Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "Originally, I wasn't absolutely sure, but now I can be sure that Shanhai Town will win this siege of the Liukou." ”

"How?"

"The enemy is also clever by themselves, they want to use idle cavalry to attack the north gate of Shanhai Town. But I didn't know that there were still 400 soldiers guarding the city at the north gate, plus the North Sea Fleet's response. With those 1,000 cavalry alone, it was absolutely impossible to break through the north gate in a short time. What's more, the other party transferred the cavalry, so the six hundred cavalry ambushed in the west gate of Shanhai Town would have a place to use. Originally, the rogues had a thousand cavalry to protect them on the flanks, and I didn't dare to send cavalry to attack. Now that they are killing themselves, I am no wonder. Ouyang Shuo explained.

Bai Hua's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I see, the other party definitely didn't expect that there were still so many cavalry in Shanhai Town, and they had been standing still." ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, and called the herald again, "Pass my order, order General Lin Yi, be ready to go out of the city at any time, and wait for my order at any time." ”

"Whoa!"

"Brother Wuyi, why don't you let the cavalry attack now." Mulan Yue on the side asked curiously, the little girl finally adapted to the battlefield environment and walked out of the city tower lounge again.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and explained: "Now that Liukou has just launched an attack, both physical strength and morale are in the best condition, and it is not a good time to attack. ”

"Oh!"

An hour later, the battle in the west was still in a stalemate. Although the Liukou added 1,000 elite Liukou new troops, the defenders of the city also increased the reinforcements by 300, and the fierce fire oil tank that was once again powerful, the two sides were still evenly matched.

The sneak attack at the north gate was frustrated, and the west fell into a stalemate again, and Huo Kui finally stopped calming. Especially as casualties have increased, the morale of the rogues has dropped to a critical point, and if no action is taken, there is a high risk of desertion. Huo Kui didn't dare to slack off, and decided to go into battle himself to boost morale.

Ouyang Shuo stood on the city tower and was relieved to see that the leader of the Liukou had finally joined the battle group. He hurriedly summoned Wang Yuanfeng, the head of the Shenji Battalion, and pointed to the leader of the Liukou in the distance and said, "General Wang, do you see that middle-aged man in the middle command?" ”

Wang Yuanfeng's eyesight is amazing, and he can naturally see it clearly at a glance, "See, that's the leader of the other party?" ”

"Not bad. How, are you sure to shoot him? ”

Wang Yuanfeng pondered for a moment and said cautiously: "The other party is about 1,300 meters away from the city wall, and it is within the range of the bed crossbow, so you can give it a try." ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, "General Wang, let's give it a go." Remember, it is better to fire two bed crossbows together, such a chance, only once. ”

"Understood."

Wang Yuanfeng turned to leave and began to beckon the bed crossbowmen to correct and aim the two bed crossbows. If you want to shoot the enemy chieftain, you must fire the most powerful arrows with three bows and eight ox monnieri crossbows, that is, "one shot and three sword arrows", with a range of up to 1,500 meters. As for the previous suppression of the trebuchet, it was the jackdaw arrows that were fired, and dozens of arrows could be fired at a time, and the suppressed opponent did not dare to approach the trebuchet.

After aiming, two three-bowed and eight-cow monnieri crossbows were fired at the same time under the command of Wang Yuanfeng. A spear and three swords and arrows as huge as a javelin crossed a graceful arc in the air, pointing directly at Huo Kui, the leader of the Liukou.

Ouyang Shuo stood at the head of the city, nervously watching the trajectory of one shot and three swords and arrows. Wang Yuanfeng really lived up to his expectations, and two sharp arrows, one after the other, slashed across the sky, accurately finding the position to hit Huo Kui.

At this time, Huo Kui is boosting morale. In the face of the sharp arrows falling from the sky, there was no way to fight back, and the sharp arrows were like javelins, piercing Huo Kui and dying on the spot.

As soon as Huo Kui died, the morale that Liukou had just recovered immediately fell to the bottom. Especially the way Huo Kui died, it was too shocking. They had no idea that the other party could shoot such a terrifying deadly arrow from a distance of 1,300 meters.

Of course, Ouyang Shuo would not miss such a good opportunity, and shouted loudly: "Herald! ”

"Here!"

"Order the cavalry to go out of the city immediately, break through the opponent's defenses, and completely crush the enemy."

"Whoa!" The herald did not dare to slack off, and immediately ran down the city wall.

Under the city wall, six hundred cavalry were already in battle, and after receiving the order, Lin Yi looked excited, turned to the cavalry behind him and said, "Brothers, it's time for us to play." ”

"Kill!" Six hundred cavalry roared excitedly.

These excellent soldiers held back for almost a whole day, and even the Minfu team was arranged by the adults to go to the battlefield, but they kept waiting. Now, when it's finally time for them to show their talents, how not to be excited.

As the city gate slowly opened, six hundred cavalry, like a sharp arrow, rushed out of the city gate and plunged straight into the belly of the Liukou army. Behind them, the gates of the city, which had just been opened, were quickly closed.

The news of Huo Yu's death has slowly spread among the rogues. At this time, the rogue was at a time when morale was low and he lacked the backbone. The attack of the cavalry of Shanhai Town was like the last straw that crushed the Liukou, completely crushing the Liukou's will to resist.

For such a charge, Lin Yi has long been familiar with it.

Especially in the Battle of Zhuolu, Lin Yi saw Zhang Liao's superb cavalry command art from beginning to end and benefited a lot. Lin Yi is also a person with a heart, and when the war was armistice, he humbly asked Zhang Liao for advice. Zhang Liao is not the kind of selfish person, he is full of good feelings for Lin Yi, a young general, so he does not hesitate to teach him.

Six hundred cavalry, under the command of Lin Yi, rampaged through the group of rogues, like no man's land. The incoming rogues are prepared for siege, and the formation that is arranged is also an attack formation. In the face of the cavalry charge, it was really unprepared, coupled with low morale, how to resist the charge of the iron cavalry.

Lin Yi is also smart, leading the cavalry to destroy the ladders, trebuchets and mobile arrow towers of the Liukou, so as to win a respite for the comrades defending the city. The siege equipment was destroyed, and the besieging rogues were forced to evacuate.

After a burst of shock, Lin Yi didn't dare to stay on the battlefield too much, led the cavalry, and quickly returned to the city. At this time, the rogue was like a frightened bird, and he was powerless to stop the retreat of the cavalry. (To be continued.) )
