Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 178
There was such a commotion in the city. Everyone knew that Liangshan troops were lurking in the city, and people were even more panicked.

In such a situation, it is difficult for the local hooligans to take advantage of the fire to rob, and their crimes are ten times stronger than the fire.The young and strong guarding the city loves his own family, and everyone is absent-minded.

The Liangshan army outside the city seized this opportunity and marched in.

Huge long and huge shields were erected under the moat, covered by crossbowmen on the hill. A large number of archers entered the shields and threw waves of arrows to the top of the urn.

With such a method, not to mention the young and strong at the top of the city can't hold on, even the Imperial Army of Dongping Mansion will complain again and again.

The arrows under the rain were so dense that the defenders on the city could not lift their heads. They could only put a dough card on their heads and block a shield in front of them. The crossbowmen in the defenders could only move blindly. Shooting arrows out through the lookout holes on the city wall, they responded slightly.

At the fourth correction point, there was a brief silence in front of Fucheng, but the breath before the bloody battle became more and more dignified.Even when Cheng Wanli received the report, he hurried to the south gate, ignoring the fire fighting and peacekeeping matters in the prefecture for the time being.

As soon as they arrived, they only heard bursts of horns sounding, and suddenly there were shouts of killing outside the city.

The defenders no longer passively dodge.At this moment, they must reciprocate, otherwise Dongping will be in danger.Although many people can't see clearly the number of enemies below.

The bed crossbow on the top of the city, which had not been moved before, launched a divine power.The leading commander in the lead took a step forward, slashed forward in the void with the long knife in his hand, and shouted: "Let go."

Suddenly, the sound of bowstrings rang out, as if someone had strummed the strings of the guitar heavily in the ear.

Lu Qian, who was in the rear, frowned tightly. Although he couldn't see it, he could know the effect of these bed crossbows after firing.But all the soldiers who are shot, even if they carry the strongest shield and wear the heaviest armor, will die but not live.

Therefore, the infantry charging now are all recruits, which can also be said to be cannon fodder in Lu Qian's eyes.Compared with the main battle camp.

They rarely wear armor, and very few of them carry shields, even the lightest and smallest flower cards.Many of them didn't even bring weapons, and their only task now was to put the big logs they carried into the moat.

Filling in the moat was too much work.Lu Qian's method is to make wooden rafts and bamboo rafts, spread out the links piece by piece, and build a pontoon bridge.

After that, the heavy infantry attacked the city.

The ladders needed for siege are just the simplest long ladders, not the ladder carts with bases.

Lu Qian knew that his method of attacking the city was not very beautiful, nor was it very clever.But maybe his current wisdom is not enough, or maybe he is not as lucky as Song Jiang. Anyway, Dong Ping insists on sticking to the city, so he really can't think of a better way.

All he can do now is try to confuse the enemy's military spirit, weaken their morale, and cause them to panic.Then in the dark night, at this time when the strength of the crossbowmen could be weakened to the greatest extent, they launched a fierce attack.It should be possible to take down the South Gate in one fell swoop.

Now Lu Qian has gathered all the elite crossbowmen in his hands, and divided one into two. One part stood on the top of the mountain and continued to suppress the Song army's top forces; The archers in the army, in batches and in an orderly manner, used waves of dense arrow rain to suppress all the enemy's activities at the top of the Wengcheng City.

That's all they have to do tonight.

When the heavily armored infantry in the rear rushed to the top of the city, the battle would be over.Lu Qian was extremely confident in the hand-to-hand combat ability of the Liangshan Army, not to mention the personal guard battalion leading the charge.As far as he knows, there is really no one in the current Northern Song Army who can compete with the Guards in hand-to-hand combat.

The distance of a hundred steps is a blink of an eye even for infantry.Besides, they had quietly walked half the distance before they were spotted by the Song army's police post at the top of the city.After the song army's bed crossbow was fired once, it took a long time to reload it again, and there were only two bed crossbows in Dongping Fucheng, and the number of other powerful crossbows was also very small.

Even with such firepower covered by giant shields or even turrets, it is impossible to stop the crowd below.

The heavy wooden rafts were thrown into the moat, and the lighter bamboo rafts were behind. The accompanying engineers—although Tao Zongwang, their boss, the nine-tailed turtle was not yet in place—jumped into the water one by one, struggling to push the wooden rafts. Swim across the moat.

A 20-meter-wide moat is a bit long, but for a wooden raft, it only needs four pieces.The two wooden rafts have chains, which are nailed into the land on the bank with iron drills. The four wooden rafts are fastened to each other with ropes and chains, which is enough to bear the passage of heavy armored infantry.What's more, after the pontoon bridge is built, it will be covered by two layers of bamboo rafts, and there will be bamboo rafts on the left and right to strengthen it.Although these bamboo rafts are only tied with ropes, they are enough to enhance the buoyancy of many wooden rafts.The length of the bamboo raft and the wooden raft is endless, just like a brick wall, calling each other wrong, and the iron brazing that runs through the upper and lower sides also makes the wooden raft more stable.It will be safer when such heavy infantry walks together.

You must know that the heavy infantry armor of the personal guard battalion is rarely less than forty catties. Wearing such heavy armor, it fell into the water in the dark night, but even the gods could not save it.

There are a total of two hundred heavy infantry, which is half of the elite guard battalion.

The entire guard battalion now has five capitals. Except for the newly established Houdu, the hand-to-hand combat capabilities of the left, middle and right capitals have always been at the top of the Liangshan capital's first-level organizational system.In other words, they are one two three.No one can deny this point.

The leader of the charge this time was naturally Han Bolong, with Tang Wu and Zhou Daming as his deputy.

And further back is the trio of Li Kui, Li Gun, and Xiang Chong.

There is no battle formation in the siege battle, and it is more of a random fight, which is more suitable for the fifth battalion led by the trio.

Dong Ping naturally knew about the crisis in Wengcheng.Although there is a city wall behind the urn city, compared with the difficulty of going down to the urn city, the difficulty of getting from the urn city to the city wall is much smaller.

A large number of rolling logs, stones, and gray bottles of golden juice had been prepared on the top of the city, but they were all ruined under the rain of arrows at Liangshan Po.

If the defenders were determined, they would naturally be able to prop up their shields and smash down the rolling logs and stones, the ashes of the golden juice, and the boiling oil.But now they can't, no one is willing to sacrifice their precious life.Even if Dong Ping roared in anger, it would not help.

When a long ladder was erected to reach the top of the Wengcheng, Dong Ping could already imagine the result.

Cheng Wanli was also roaring hysterically, and kept making promises. In the end, he would be rewarded a hundred guan for killing a Liangshan bandit, but few of them showed eagerness to try.So I could only cry in my heart: "It's bitter."

It's just thinking that my life's achievements will be over.But I was annoyed that I was younger than fifty, and there was still a daughter in my family who was never married.Thinking of this made him angry, and he couldn't help but hate Dong Ping. It was not because this man acted viciously that angered Liang Shanbo, so why did he bring such a disaster on himself?

Cheers sounded in the Wengcheng.Of course, it wasn't the defenders who were cheering, but the Liangshan Army who took the Wengcheng smoothly and unimpededly.

Even Li Kui stopped yelling that he didn't kill him.

It is a great joy for Liangshanbo to win the Wengcheng so easily.But at the same time, the cheers that suddenly sounded from the south gate were also heard by the people in the city.This caused Shi Qian and Yang Lin, who had just met, to suddenly show joy on their faces.

There is a saying that it is hard to avoid criticism when you cast a spear openly, but it is not easy to guard against an arrow from behind.The current Shi Qian and Yang Lin are not the arrows that secretly want to shoot.

　Thank you for not regretting Shenlong, Si_wan's support, thank you.
