Chapter 753 The wolf is coming (Part 2)
The two brothers of the Cheng family listened to the shouts coming from the top of the city from afar, laughing loudly, and shouting that they were about to prepare to attack the city immediately.
Li Muyun shook his head and denied the two of them: "It is not the best time to attack the city now, wait and see."
Cheng Chumo was a little depressed: "Wait? When will you wait? In three days, the old monster Junji will come up to steal your wife!"
Is this human words? Li Muyun rolled his eyes. It seems that there is a difference between pretending to be stupid and being honest. No matter how hard he tries, he can't catch up with talent.
Li Dejian took over the conversation at the side: "Should you wait for another day and let the news spread more widely. Today's lesson should be enough."
Cheng Chuliang naturally stood on his elder brother's side, staring at his big eyes and came over: "I really don't understand what you are waiting for. What a good opportunity tonight. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to attack with one go?"
"Okay, don't fight anymore. We don't even have the equipment to attack the city at hand. You won't want to climb to the top of the city empty-handed, right?"
Seeing that there would be no result if the fight continued, Li Muyun waved his hand and turned back to the camp.
What he just said was the fact that as a vanguard army, he did not have many things to use to attack cities. Even if he seized the time to build it, he would just cut down some trees nearby and make some ladders.
But having a ladder is also good, it should be enough for the 20,000 panic defenders.
...
The next morning, the confrontation continued.
However, the defenders on the top of the city were obviously even more nervous, and everyone stared at the city nervously, for fear that someone would approach.
That damn iron ball is simply unpredictable. You can hurt a large area of people with just one piece, and the more unlucky ones are simply a ball of rotten meat.
Several generals Gaochang, who were fifty or sixty, were patrolling the city, but their flashing eyes were enough to prove that they were not much better than those big-headed soldiers.
When they were at their age, they had already passed the time to exchange their lives for merits. Thinking about the wealth and beautiful wife and concubines at home, they unconsciously slowed down a little.
Just at noon, when the fire-headed troops on both sides delivered food, the soil under the city was suddenly lifted up. Before the defenders at the city could react, the dozens of people below threw dozens of black iron balls at the city and ran away.
Originally, at this time, the defenders on the city wall should have done their best to keep dozens of people who escaped, but the black iron ball was really terrible. Escape was still compared to the enemy's death, and escape still had the upper hand.
...
On the third day, hundreds of heads hung on the top of Gaochang City, probably the guys who escaped yesterday.
Obviously, the people of Gaochang also knew that this was not a solution, so they decided to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
But the senior officials of Gaochang obviously did not realize that the will of the defenders at this time was actually very fragile. They were already full of fear of the Tang army and needed to arouse morale. As a result, all the officials disappeared and they were not allowed to retreat. What's going on?
Besides, the resistance at this time actually has no meaning at all. The 20,000 vanguards of the Tang army already had such momentum. If the main force comes up again, it would be a total of 100,000.
It is impossible to beat it at all. Not only Gaochang can't beat it, but even the Western Turks cannot beat it, otherwise they wouldn't run faster than rabbits.
Under such circumstances, the senior management still wanted to resist desperately and did not consider the lives and death of their soldiers, which almost caused the morale of all defenders to fall to the bottom.
...
The wind that had been blowing for several days stopped, and the flag of Gaochang Kingdom on the top of the city was drooping, as if he was silent for Gaochang's future.
The defenders on the city were also listless. From time to time, they looked at the heads of the high people hanging, and sighed to themselves or their companions.
Under the city wall, Tang army appeared again, and 20,000 people were piled up together, so big.
However, at this time the defenders no longer paid attention to it. They only care about when and where the black iron balls were thrown up.
But what they didn't know was that today's situation was somewhat different from the past. At some point in the Tang Dynasty's military formation, there were more than a dozen trenchers that were so simple that they could not be simple. Some black guys who were much bigger than the black iron balls thrown on the city wall were piled into the net pockets of the trenchers.
Cheng Chumo stood in the middle of the military formation, holding a telescope and looking at the city head, seeing the hundreds of heads and the depression of the defenders.
Li Muyun said it right. The several confrontations made the defenders completely ignore this confrontation. What they really worry about are those black iron balls.
Even if Li Muyun hadn't called him to the Central Army to arrange a mission in the middle of the night yesterday, Cheng Chumo would have thought that today was still the same as yesterday, and continued to throw dozens of grenades and then returned to the camp for dinner.
No wonder this is inertial thinking? Or...
Forget it, I didn't think about it anymore, put down my telescope and turned my head to look at the soldiers beside me.
After two days of holding it in, everyone was excited and just waited for a while to rush to start the killing.
Everyone said that one thing would be done, and then it would decline, and then it would be exhausted. It seemed that these things had changed a little in this battle.
It was obvious that after standing for two days, everyone was not only unsatisfied, but they were a little overwhelmed.
Is this the so-called provocation?
Looking back, even the eldest son of the Cheng family had a good performance and let that bastard Li Muyun take a good look. Even without a plan, he could still rush Gaochang City to rush down, not to mention the big-headed soldiers who had been standing for two days and had no trust and were full of anger.
...
Time passed little by little while waiting, the wind became smaller and the air was filled with depression.
"Dongdongdongdong..."
Suddenly, a shocking drum sound came, which shocked everyone.
Then, a series of whistling sounds were heard.
Hundreds of huge black iron balls rose into the air under the traction of the trencher and flew towards the head of Gaochang City.
Damn! What's this?!
The Gaochang people were also alarmed by the sound of drums. Before they could react, they saw countless huge black iron balls flying up to the top of the city, either landing on the city wall, or landing into the city.
At that moment, everything is bullshit, such as killing chickens to warn monkeys, and what is the supervision team.
The black iron ball with a fist can be destroyed so much. The people who are thrown to the city are all big. If they are blown up, wouldn’t they even be able to find a whole body?
Escape, escape quickly. At worst, you can stop joining the army after escaping. As long as you are not caught, you can still be saved.
But if you leave resistance...
Go to his uncle, I won’t play anymore. Even if I can block these 20,000 Tang troops outside the city, there are 80,000 troops behind. Can I still block those 80,000 people?!
