Chapter 4 The Battle Begins
The smoke and dust dissipated. Yuan Wenshu felt a chill when he looked at the soldiers outside the city. He knew that he might really have to explain this time. He looked at the neat soldiers and horses in front of him, at least 3,000.
The only thing that made him feel relieved was that the cavalry came out of the city, and they were not seen carrying siege weapons.
According to Yuan Wenshu's estimate, the enemy army should be able to use local materials to make ladders. Unfortunately, when he first took office, Yuan Wenshu asked the soldiers to cut down all the trees outside the city.
After all, he has been in the army for more than a year. It is difficult to capture a frontier castle like Weining Fort, without siege equipment.
Thinking of this, Yuan Wenshu's confidence increased greatly: "Helping me all, have you seen it, brothers? The barbarians all come to cavalry."
"They didn't have the trees outside Yunti City that were already dead, so I'd see what these barbarians used to beat us."
"We can definitely hold on for two days. At that time, we will not only protect our wives and children, but also make great contributions. Once the army arrives, we will be heroes, and rewards of merit are absolutely indispensable."
The soldiers under Yuan Wenshu were also very happy when they heard this, because they had already prepared to wrap their bodies in the horses and leather.
Unexpectedly, there is still a way out and maybe I can make contributions. At that time, I will get the reward money and go back to my hometown to buy dozens of acres of land, and that size will be a landlord.
Yuan Wenshu knew at a glance that he had succeeded. He had successfully lifted the soldiers' desire to survive and their yearning for a better life in the future. Only then did Yuan Wenshu truly let go of his hanging heart.
"Brothers, I'll tell me to divide it into two parts first, and go down and walk around the city frequently, so that the other party can feel that most of the troops have gathered here and see if the other party is ambushing at the east gate."
"Then I'll tell Lao Zhou that he would pull the team to the east gate and send the prepared gifts. According to my guess, the other party would fight once to try our combat effectiveness."
"Then I'm as he wishes, but I have the final say on which to attack. Let his side army attack our most powerful East Gate. I want him to make a big fuss and prepare the siege equipment."
"We will be able to win the battle,"
In fact, the big-headed soldiers didn't understand this. But looking at their Shangguan's look like Zhizhu is holding it, I felt that I had to say something at this time. After all, Lao Liu is not here, and it is not okay if there is no one to hold it, right?
Just as Yuan Wenshu was making a fuss at the top of the city, our other side was also very angry at this time, because he looked at the bare appearance of no tree around him, and he felt that he was almost angry.
Originally, he came with a military order, but now he probably won't be able to get it in the short term.
At that time, King Liang would not be able to escape if he didn't cut his head. When he thought of this, he would send a message to the deputy general and ask him to attack the East Gate immediately.
He himself was a feint attack on Ximen and prevented them from rescueing the East Gate. If the east gate had a great resistance, he would turn to a feint attack to attack Ximen as the main attack.
He is now waiting for the commander to pass the military order to the deputy general and then the two gates will start together.
Yuan Wenshu looked at this situation and felt that his plan had been successful, but he was inexplicably a little uneasy.
"People come and move all the hot tinctures from Curry and prepare straws, telling the people to move all the firewood downstairs."
In this way, both sides were waiting for about a quarter of an hour to fight and the enemy on the west gate had not yet moved.
After about a quarter of an hour, the enemy of Ximen finally moved. They sent about 200 people to fight towards Weining Fort.
Yuan Wenshu knew at a glance that the enemy was testing, but Yuan Wenshu did not intend to move the arrows in the fort. Moreover, Yuan Wenshu used many crossbows under his command, and the bows were fewer than the opponent and the scattered line, which was even more useless. It would be better to put them closer and then use crossbows.
The conversation was divided into two ends. The East Gate was fighting in full swing at this time. Both sides were going back and forth, but after careful observation, there were still many casualties and injuries on the siege.
Old Liu at this time on the East Gate wall no longer had his usual flattery. His face was only firm and he could see that his armor was red and covered in blood.
There are others and their own. They are covered in disarray and look at the soldiers around him, all of them are covered in blood, but no one retreats but they are fighting hard.
Yuan Wenshu's plan was successful. His decision to place Lao Liu and Lao Fang in the east gate was very correct. After receiving the military order from Jali Luo, the enemy's deputy immediately ordered to dismount and attack the city.
It started with a fierce attack, and five hundred people caught Liu Jie off guard in the first batch of sieges. Fortunately, it was a blessing.
Zhou Fang arrived in time and smashed the wood and stones under the city wall like rain. He poured a pot of killing weapons on his head. At that time, the enemy attacked and then fled back to the town.
After a while, the enemy came again. There were still 500 people, and the same fierce attack was still the last time the wooden and stones were used up.
Jin Yu didn't have time to burn the enemy's attack, and finally repelled the enemy's attack.
This time, more than 50 people were lost, and most of them were killed but not many were injured. Of course, it was not easy for the other party to live. The maximum number of troops that the other party could use was only 1,200. The reason why they lost so much was that most of them were injured. In fact, the maximum number of people died in battle was only more than 100 people.
Among these injured people, they were basically broken hands and feet, and some of them were more miserable, but they were still struggling.
Remove some of the wounded soldiers, so basically the only force that the enemy can use is left. At this time, people have begun to boil water under the East City Wall.
Because there is not much gold juice, it can only be replaced by boiling water. Some heavy objects in the city are carried up to the city wall to use as wooden rolling stones.
Just as the battle between Dongcheng was in full swing, Baliluo, who was in the west, heard no good news for a long time.
Then he waved his hand and began to attack fiercely. At this moment, Yuan Wenshu knew that something was wrong and he quickly asked someone to prepare the straw turmeric oil to siege the city slowly with 200 people before.
Now, 500 people have been added in an abnormal manner. In other words, Yuan Wenshu and the others are facing 7 times their siege force.
Yuan Wenshu forcibly suppressed his fear because he knew that he could not be in chaos now, and could not be afraid because he was the leader.
It was their backbone who was in chaos and he lost everything, so he shouted "Kill!" The soldiers around him couldn't help but shouted together: "Kill!"
Seeing the morale, Yuan Wenshu made a quick decision to make people prepare everything and wait quietly for the enemy to attack the city wall.
This time, Yuan Wenshu wanted to let the other party know that this is not the place they should come. Since they have come, don’t think about going back in full.
