Volume 1 Chapter 262 There is no way to heaven and earth

"Brother Tai, even if the little brother is afraid of you, he won't say if he kills the little brother, you let me go." Li Shimin looked like goosebumps all over his body, crying and begging with a sad face, and seemed to have understood the power of his son.

Laughing and laughing, but it did not affect the scattered horse nails under the city wall at all, and a total of fifty people were arranged to go down, each with two large baskets, and after the dispersal, they withdrew, fortunately, they were not discovered by the rebels, or the rebels felt that our defenders would definitely not be able to make any new tricks.

“…… Except for an unlucky ghost who accidentally stepped on the zama nail that he had scattered, everything was fine. Li Yuanfang's report made everyone cry and laugh. That guy was too unlucky, he could step on anything he threw himself.

"Okay, now all we have to do is wait for Senior Daoist Brother and Brother Maoyo to bring those wine jars and fire oil, and then, let's make Molotov cocktails again." Ben Gongzi took a deep breath, very proud, at this moment, I am full of confidence in being able to guard the Shangchun Gate.

"Brother Xian, what we brought is obviously a wine jar, why do you call it a Molotov cocktail?" Liu Hongji scratched his chin with a thick beard, looking confused.

"Think about it, I thought it was a bottle, but it turned out to be a jar thrown down, which not only gave them a surprise, but also fooled them again, how good?" Ben Gongzi explained very seriously.

Hearing my explanation, Liu Hongji blinked, and finally could only roll his eyes speechlessly. The others snickered, well, it's good to be happy, you can't just keep a city and make the big guy sad like a dead father and a dead mother, it's too passionless, and it's too unatmosphere.

But to be honest, whether it is a siege or a defense, or a field battle, a war, it is all boring, insensitive killing, personal heroism, that is only an occasional appearance, there may be many generous and tragic scenes, but it is impossible that there will be historians who will completely record this scene and pass it on to future generations.

In the world, there are really few people who can really face life and death generally, at least this son is not, and among the fox friends and dog friends around me, even if it is a hob like Liu Hongji, unless he is forced to die, otherwise, whoever wants him to die is likely to be slaughtered by him first.

After those spies crawled back, we finally got a general news, that is, Yang Xuangan's rebels were building siege weapons on a large scale, and it seemed that they were moving troops and horses.

Frightened everyone and mobilized troops and horses, doesn't that mean that something will happen?

"Where are they mobilizing troops and horses, on the shore of Luoshui, is there any movement?" Li Shimin frowned, and asked in a low voice to the secret agent.

"On Luoshui, there are still sailors patrolling, and nothing unusual has been found." The agent thought about it, and was sure of it.

"It seems that maybe Yang Xuangan that guy wants to break through the Spring Gate in a battle tomorrow, otherwise, why is it used like this?" Chai Shao also expressed his opinion.

"It's better if they don't come, but if they do, the 180,000 Zama nails can give them a good taste. What's more, there are those fire oil jars. Ben Gongzi sneered twice and said, this was recognized by everyone present, and I don't want to think about it, those things that Ben Gongzi made are definitely sharp weapons to defend the city, so I don't believe that those guys can easily attack the city.

"However, it's better to inform the general of the change on our side, what do you think?" After thinking about it, I came up with a new proposal. "After all, if something happens because of a momentary negligence, when the time comes, we will ......"

"What the virtuous brother said is, come here, report this news to General Duan and the guards in the north of the city, and let them know that there is an abnormal movement in the rebels tonight, and I don't know if there will be any changes." After giving the order, he continued to stare at the lights of the rebel camp.

Time passed minute by minute, but today no one really has the interest to rest, but is in the city tower and lying in clothes, originally wanted to take a cloth curtain to separate, let Li Yaoguang sleep alone in a corner, but Li Yaoguang ignored it, too, everyone is lying in clothes, afraid of fart, besides, with this girl as high as more than 90 force value, who dares to go in the middle of the night, it is simply looking for death, anyway, this son is not that guts, others, well, all sleep far away, of course I am also a gentleman, naturally I also sleep far away.

There was nothing to do all night, and when they woke up early the next morning, they were very refreshed, and the soldiers who had also slept almost all night were also very refreshed, and they were all curious, or looked at the rebel camp opposite, or looked at the rebel camp opposite, as if the resentful woman who had been trapped in the boudoir for more than ten years was looking forward to the return of her husband.

It's an exaggeration, but it's practical, because many people are looking forward to seeing the rebels screaming after stepping on the zama nail, including me, and the problem is that we haven't seen anyone come out of the rebel camp after we have finished breakfast.

It wasn't until we were all a little impatient that it was close to noon that the rebel camp finally poured out of the camp and began to appear in the open field outside the camp.

"It's about the same as yesterday, thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses, but it seems that they don't have much more siege equipment than yesterday." Li Yaoguang narrowed his apricot eyes and looked into the distance, his long eyelashes half-covering his bright eyes, as if he wanted to distinguish the number of siege equipment.

"Maybe they're not trying to make siege equipment, but just want to strengthen the defense of the camp." Li Shimin touched his bare chin and yawned loudly.

While chatting, while observing the movements of the rebels on the other side, soon, the rebels approached our side again, and from the north, there was also the rumbling sound of war drums, the earth-shattering war drums, as if even the clouds in the sky could be dispersed, and the churning smoke and dust were filled with a strong killing intent.

Looking at these rebels who are getting closer and closer, I can only watch silently, just hoping that the reinforcements from all over the country can arrive earlier, at least it will make Yang Xuan feel difficult to retreat.

With a shout, the first wave of at least seven or eight thousand rebels rushed towards the city wall, still with shields in hand and straw bags on their backs, and when they rushed into the range where the Zama nails had been sprinkled last night, in the blink of an eye, at least hundreds of people fell, all of them let out an inhuman howl, and more and more rebels continued to rush forward for unknown reasons, and then, like the unlucky ones at the beginning, threw away their shields and straw bags, and rolled to the ground with their feet in their hands.

At this moment, the crossbow had begun to exert its power, and rows of arrows flew up from the city walls, streaked across the sky, and landed on the heads of those people. The ground was a myriad of zama nails hidden in the grass, and above the sky, there was a rain of sharp arrows, and more and more rebels fell to the ground struggling and screaming, and the luckiest ones, at most, rushed to a hundred paces from the moat and fell to the ground.

There is no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground, which is probably the most desperate mood of these rebels at this moment. Seeing more and more rebels falling to the ground groaning and struggling and wailing, the dense rain of arrows kept taking away fresh lives, most people looked a little gloomy, even if it was a heartless lord like Liu Hongji, he couldn't help but feel sad at the moment.

"It seems that unless they don't want their lives and let these 100,000 rebels rush over, it will be difficult to capture the foot of the city wall." Yang Gongdao stroked his long beard and said half-loudly.

The sound of fighting from the north is not as weak as before, and there is even a tendency to cover up the sound on our side, which makes everyone secretly frightened.

"No, in the past, the rebels have always focused on our side, and the rebels in the north are mainly contained. Now it seems that the rebel attack over there is even more fierce than ours here. "Pei Yuanqing, the buddy who temporarily accompanied us, is very strange.

"These days, those catapults that we got here were originally drawn from the northern city wall, right?" I frowned and asked Yang Shidao.

Yang Shidao nodded, "There are not many catapults in Luoyang City, because most of the catapults in my Great Sui are used in the pass or the border to defend against foreigners, not to mention that the Son of Heaven is in the north to conquer Goguryeo, and he needs such a siege weapon, so now the total number of catapults in Luoyang City is only more than 100, and the ...... we gather here"

"Perhaps, the attack on us here today is just to contain it. And the main attack is placed in the north city. Yang Gongdao's face couldn't help but change.

At this moment, the rebels had fallen at least two thousand, but the retreating rout, once again forced by the officers, rushed towards this side again, like the furious raging waves, slapping on the reef on the coast.

Just when we were anxious about the battle situation in the north of the city, we saw a horse galloping from the foot of the northern city wall to this side. The news brought made everyone nervous. Now the total number of soldiers and horses of the rebels in the north of the city exceeds 100,000, and there are probably one or two thousand ladders alone, in addition, there are nearly 20 arrow towers, and more than 40 catapults.

Now, Zhang Tong'er, who originally stayed in the center of the city as a support team, has already led the whole army to the north of the city to support, and General Duan has sent many messengers to each gate, so that each gate will send elites to aid the north of the city.

"The general asked the last general to ask General Yang Lang, how is the enemy's offensive here, if so, please also ask General Yang Lang to send a small number of elites to aid the north of the city." The messenger didn't care to wipe the sweat from his face, and said loudly.

A few of us immediately got together to discuss, with so many catapults, plus those Zama nail arrays that made the rebels suffer a lot, plus the rebels in the north of the city have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, then the rebels here will not exceed 40,000, I believe that there should be no problem in transferring 1,000 people.
