The end of the world begins with the king
586 Chapter 1
586 Chapter 1
In Yanfeng County, a ray of sunlight has been cast on the city wall.
On the northern city wall, a large number of soldiers and young adults gathered, and they are all ready to fight.
A mile away from the city wall, a large number of imperial guards lined up to rest.
Ma Shan's worries were unfounded. After rushing all night, as long as the generals of the imperial army were not stupid, they should let their soldiers rest before attacking the city.
Looking at the army stationed ahead, Duan Qingyu, the county magistrate, said solemnly: "They are already preparing siege equipment. I think they will launch an attack after lunch at the latest!"
Glancing at the soldiers and young men on the city wall, Duan Qingyu asked Ma Shan, "You said...we can really hold it?"
Ma Shan gripped his saber tightly, turned to Duan Qingyu beside him and said, "It must be possible, it must be possible!"
"Master Duan, if you have nothing to do, go to the city and organize more women and children, let them send rolling wood and stones to the city wall, and put a few more cauldrons on the city wall to boil water..."
"Don't do anything to disturb the morale of the army!"
The last sentence was Ma Shan's warning to Duan Qingyu.
The war is imminent, and any words or deeds that may shake the morale of the army will be severely punished by Ma Shan.
Seeing Ma Shan's murderous aura, Duan Qingyu suppressed the desire to argue with him, and it is only reasonable to cooperate to tide over the difficulties now.
"What Ma Qianhu said is right, I'm going to organize women and children!"
"However, please don't doubt me, Ma Qianhu. Even though I have not joined the army, I can fight to the death for Your Highness!"
After saying this, Duan Qingyu turned and left.
After Duan Qingyu left, Ma Shan showed a smile, but he underestimated the magistrate Duan.
Next, Ma Shan patrolled the city wall, mainly facing the enemy's northern city wall.
After joining the army, Ma Shan also learned a lot about marching and fighting in the process of promotion.
He also has some understanding of how to attack the city.
It's freezing right now, and water attack is definitely not an option, not to mention that there are no big rivers nearby.
It took a long time to pile up the soil and dig the tunnel, but Ma Shan was more than happy for them to do so.
I'm afraid the reinforcements from all over the country have already arrived before the work is finished these days.
Therefore, these forbidden troops who attacked the city could only use the easiest way to attack the city, and that was to use ladders.
In fact, those forbidden soldiers on the opposite side did exactly that.
On the other side of the city, Zhou Qing and Cai Yongkun stood together, in front of them were busy soldiers.
These soldiers are assembling the ladders, each two or three meters wide, all made of heavy wood.
This kind of ladder can be used by six or seven people side by side to rush upwards, which is more reliable than a single-person ladder.
The ladder is about seven or eight meters long, two or three meters higher than the city wall. It will not be so steep on the city wall, and you can free your hands when climbing.
Looking at the ladders being completed one after another, Cai Yongkun said helplessly: "We are not ready yet, but the other side is ready!"
"As expected, it is impossible for us to take the ladder and rush on the road, we can only use local materials to build!"
Zhou Qing sighed: "Fortunately, we sent troops suddenly and didn't let them fortify the walls to clear the fields, otherwise where would we find these good logs!"
Cai Yongkun continued: "I thought there were only 500 people on the opposite side, but they pulled young and strong guards from the upper city. It's hard to say that we have any advantage in strength!"
"It's just young and strong, a bunch of mobs, as long as our army kills the city wall, they will definitely disperse like birds and beasts!"
"The key point is that our army must go all out and kill the city wall!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Qing said solemnly: "According to what I mean, you and I will each have 500 troops to hold the line, and the rest will all attack the city!"
"Isn't it too crowded for 4000 people to attack the city?" Cai Yongkun hesitated.
In fact, the siege was not fought like they did, it was just forced to do so.
"4000 people, divided into ten teams to attack..."
Turning around and looking at the city wall ahead, Zhou Qing said in a low tone, "The city wall to the north is two miles long. Ten teams are divided into the middle section, and each team is separated by fifty steps (about 40 meters). They can support each other!"
After saying this, Zhou Qing turned around and asked Cai Yongkun, "What do you think?"
"There is no way, no way!" This is Cai Yongkun's evaluation, and it also shows his attitude, this battle will be fought like this.
Conventional siege methods cannot be used, and these unconventional methods can only be thought of temporarily.
"The siege team, with shields and knives in the front, and crossbowmen in the back cover, as long as the ladders are put on the city wall...the victory is in sight!"
As for the problem of climbing the city wall and after that, Zhou Qing didn't think it was a problem at all.
"When to attack?"
Glancing at the progress of the construction: "Wait another half an hour, so that you can rest and recuperate!"
While the two commanders were discussing the siege plan, the soldiers who were recuperating in front were already discussing what would happen after victory.
"After entering the city, I don't need any food. I need to find a woman first..."
"Don't any of you stop me, whoever stops me, I will fight with my life..."
"I have to find a woman first, so I won't die... If I don't hurry up and have a good time, I might die soon!"
"It's just..."
While a few people were discussing, they suddenly heard the voice of Baihu from behind: "You guys, keep your voice down, don't you see that the brothers are still catching up on sleep?"
After rushing all night, although they had a good rest yesterday, everyone was still exhausted, so many people were trying to catch up on sleep.
The few people who were chatting immediately shut up, and after the patrolling hundred households left, everyone started talking nonsense in a low voice.
These sergeants who have been in battle for a long time can quickly adapt to the upcoming battle, so they can talk and laugh at this time.
At this moment, someone teased and said: "Chuanbao, after entering the city...how about finding you a woman too? You're still a boy!"
Everyone laughed out loud, and they all looked at the boy next to him, who was sitting on the cushion, looking at the rising sun.
"Chuanbao, be honest... have you ever thought about women? I'll beat you if you tell lies!"
Chuanbao turned his head, looked at the crowd, hesitated for a moment and said: "I only want my mother, I want to go home!"
This was said with sincerity, no one would say it was a lie, because everyone present was homesick.
They both suppressed these emotions in order to appear stronger.
Following Liu Chuanbao's words, everyone at the scene was in no mood to joke.
After a few breaths, someone finally said: "If we want to go home, we have to win this battle!"
Someone else said: "The above said, as long as we break through Longyou and enter the customs, we can go home!"
That's what I said, but in fact, everyone present understood that the hope of returning home was very slim.
Time passed quickly, the ladders were dispatched one after another, the officers began to organize and train the troops, and the troops of the imperial army began to adjust.
Their actions were discovered by the defenders on the city wall, and the young and strong soldiers resting on the city wall immediately went on alert under the reminder of the officers.
On the city wall, many stones and logs have been piled up, as well as a cauldron that has been boiled.
Everyone's expression is full of determination, they will risk their lives to defend their hard-won peaceful life.
Looking at the army array already lined up on the opposite side, a hundred households reminded: "My lord, they are coming!"
As soon as the voice fell, drums sounded from the opposite side, and the soldiers of the imperial army began to move forward.
Their forwards were more than 500 meters away from the city wall. At first, they had to walk slowly during this distance, and charge when they approached the city wall while conserving their energy.
"Brothers, go into the city, get whatever you want..."
"The commanding officer said, except for the food...anything in the city, whoever grabs it will be it!"
After some encouragement, the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the imperial army was high, and they couldn't wait to enter the city.
