Chapter 226 First Battle of Mountain Army
After the five thousand soldiers under his command lined up the army to be launched to attack, Lu Meng only gave an order to Deputy General Zheng Zheng: "The whole army is on standby and wait until the enemy from Ximen begins to mobilize, we will report to me!"
It had been a whole hour since Lu Meng gave the order. At this moment, the deputy general Zheng Chang had been walking around Lu Meng like an ant on a hot pan.
Looking at his boss who was still sitting still, Chang Zheng finally couldn't help but scream: "Zi Ming, you are so sure that the enemy soldiers in this city will be transferred away? Can we really get this first achievement?
This really doesn’t seem to be true, it seems like the enemy will have contact with you. Tell the truth to Brother Wei, this is impossible!
That! The three of them have already launched a general attack! Look at the defenders at the city still don’t move at all. Our large number of people are standing in front of others’ doors, and you still want them to be transferred away. It’s unreliable, it’s really unreliable!
Let’s attack. Although it’s a little later, with the skills of the brothers, it’s still possible that they will be the first to enter the city! You’re talking!”
Immersed in the endless tactical thoughts of grandson, Lu Meng finally raised his eyes from the book and glanced at Zheng Chang who was getting more anxious.
He smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, please be calm and wait for the first time to win the first prize! Haha!"
At this time, the scout sent by General Zheng came to report: "Report! General, General Huang Gai has personally led the army to the top of the North Gate and killed the enemy guards. He is now fighting fiercely with the enemy troops on the top of the city. It seems that the North Gate has been captured!"
A desperate anger rose in Zheng Chang's chest. He sat heavily on the stool beside Lu Meng. He glared at Lu Meng, who was still calm.
He complained hatefully: "Look. Look, Ziming, look at you! You are all confused when reading books! You are all trying to make some clever tricks. Now, you're fine! I missed the opportunity to show our mountain army's face.
Originally, my brothers have been practicing hard for the past two years, just to fight to show their power. What a great opportunity today, and my lord is watching from behind. Let you let it go in vain.
In the future, you have to listen to your brother. Isn’t it just enough to attack the enemy with all your strength? You insist on letting the enemy surrender without fighting. Seeing that the other three gates are so hard to fight, how is this possible?
Alas! I’m afraid this time it’s not about showing off my power, but I’ll be laughed at by others. We haven’t started yet. They have already taken down the city. Alas! This battle is really boring!
People say that we are planning and then acting, but we are planning and not moving when siege the city. Alas! Forget it! The battle is over. You can explain this matter with the soldiers! Alas!"
However, Zheng Chang complained a lot and released all the depression just now. He then returned to his calmness, looked at Lu Meng without making a sound, waiting for the next step of his commander to make.
But Lu Meng still smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, don't worry, wait!"
The resentment that had just calmed down in Zheng Chang's heart began to churn again: "Do you have to wait? Should we just wait until others clean the battlefield and we will withdraw our troops and return to the camp? Forget it, you are the chief general, and it will be embarrassing to you. I don't care."
After saying that, Zheng Chang lay down on the stool and closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep. Lu Meng was still confident in holding the book, and continued to look down while walking.
But at this moment, Zheng Chang's heart was surging, and he could not find any sleepiness. However, he had no chance to sleep. Before the scout in front had left, another scout had been waiting for him from a long time running from the city gate.
Before the people arrived, the voice arrived first: "General Lu! General Zheng, the defenders of the West Gate began to move! They walked thousands of people and divided into two teams toward the East Gate and the South Gate!"
Zheng Chang, who was still pretending to be sleeping, rolled from his horse to the ground, and didn't bother to pat off the dust on his body.
He jumped up and grabbed the scout's clothes, and asked repeatedly: "What! You said it again? What did you say just now? Have the enemy really transferred? Oh my god, Ziming, you, you are really. It's true."
Zheng Chang looked at the little fellow villager with a dull look inhumane eyes, and the report from the commander came from behind him again.
"Report. Two generals! General Huang Gai's troops in the north of the city were faced with the counterattack of the enemy general with the new force. General Huang Gai could not fight the enemy general and was about to be driven down from the city by the enemy!"
Looking at Zheng Chang who was even more shocked, Lu Meng turned a solemn look on his face and said calmly: "Zheng Zheng listens to the order! I will order you to lead half of the mountain army to attack from the left side of the Xicheng City Gate.
This general personally led the remaining half of his men to attack a section of the city wall on the right side of the city gate. It was time to let the brothers show their power, so let the lord and the military advisor see the true strength of the mountain army!
I hope that my brothers can show the might of our mountain army in this battle! Zheng Chang, do you have confidence to compete with me? Whoever climbs the city first will be the commander of this mountain army."
At this moment, Zheng Chang was already impressed by Lu Meng, a boss who was both civil and military. Before Lu Meng could finish his words, Zheng Chang was like a chicken eating rice, nodding in a hurry.
He said carelessly: "Zi Ming, don't worry, I really don't have the ability to plot these things Zheng Chang! If you say you are siegeing the city, then Zheng Chang must be the first to enter the city! But Zi Ming, you are really amazing. How can you calculate such a situation?
Oh, okay! OK, let's not talk nonsense, just look at the brothers when siege the city! Hehe! This commander of the mountain army may have to be replaced. Haha!"
With Lu Meng's order, the mountain soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately advanced towards the city. The well-trained mountain soldiers did not take any heavy ladders in their hands, nor did they use sharp siege tools such as wells.
As soon as they approached the city wall, the first group of soldiers who rushed closest to lift their crossbows in their hands and began to suppress and shoot at the enemy who were poking their heads out of the city. After the dense rain of arrows overturned the first group of soldiers who were looking at Jingzhou, they even shot the Jingzhou soldiers on Ximen City that did not dare to emerge.
The second team of mountain troops who followed immediately threw out steel claws connected to ropes. The steel claws flew over the city and immediately locked firmly in the bricks of the battlements.
The first group of mountain soldiers who had shot crossbow arrows calmly put away their crossbow bows and began to climb up the city along the ropes with countless knots. Then, groups of mountain soldiers who cooperated tacitly followed them in an orderly manner.
There was no living guard at the top of the city covered by the rain of arrows. As for the dead soldiers, they were even shot into sieves and were still shot by constant arrows.
They are really some poor people who are still shot while lying down. To be continued...
