Chapter 150 Occupy Leping City
"All the crossbows are propelling! The city rushing car will follow!"
Qing Cang directed the route of the crossbow cannons. Under the control of the crossbowmen, three hundred crossbow cannons slowly moved towards Leping City.
This made Liu Gu on the city tower frustrated. He didn't care about the two concubines around him. If Qing Cang was invaded, his life would be gone, and life would be more important than women.
"Who has a way to retreat? Do you know about Velus?"
The Varus in his mouth was a general, carrying a bow and arrow, and holding a long cherry rifle.
Velus said: "Master, the opponent's young man in white is too strong, causing us to lose two powerful generals. The others are not strong in force, so they may not be able to withstand the enemy's strong attack."
"Then how about you and that Shaobai?"
"Sir, I can't beat Shi Le, let alone a boy? I'm afraid I can't hold on to two rounds in his hands, and I will lose."
"What should I do!"
Liu Gu was completely anxious. If he hadn't had the small amount of food in the city, he wouldn't have gone to Huaxia City to ask for food. If he didn't want to ask for food, the Chinese army would have been worried about it. There would be nothing that happened today. Everything was caused by him. Now he is in a state of anxiety and doesn't know what to do.
At this time, someone came out to offer advice: "Don't be afraid, sir. The terrain of Leping City is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they want to attack my city, they have to pay a price."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Gu's heart calmed down for a while.
“That’s right…”
Another adviser echoed: "Yes, I think they don't have ladders. How can they break the city with just a crossbow?"
"It would be better for us to send a letter to Luoyang and ask the court to send troops to support us. This city will not be broken within ten days."
"I don't think it's necessary. They will mobilize their troops within three days. They will be impatient. When the food and grass are used up, the soldiers will inevitably retreat."
The people on Liu Gu's side have been comforting themselves, as if they were as they said, and the city could not be broken.
"Sir, the crossbow cart stopped. It was just two hundred feet away, and they seemed to be igniting the fire."
Several people were interrupted by the guards' discussion. Liu Gu immediately left the city tower and saw three hundred crossbows in three rows, with flames lit on each frame. These crossbows were placed together, with a strong momentum, comparable to thousands of troops.
"Verus, order people to set rockets, I will burn their striking cart!"
Varus was another Liu Gu general. He was good at using bows and arrows, but at this time he looked embarrassed.
"Sir, they are two hundred feet away, but our archers can only shoot a hundred feet away. Their position is far beyond our range."
"What! What do they want to do!?"
On the other side, Qingcang is located at the head of the army, looking at Leping City from afar. He murmured: "What a pity that such a beautiful mountain city will be destroyed in a while."
Zhang Wenhao and the other two whispered to each other, saying that they were puzzled why the crossbows were parked so far.
Zhang Wenhao said: "What are the adults of this Chinese Legion doing? Stop the crossbow at such a long distance."
Shi Le didn't understand. "I don't understand. The crossbow cannon truck can only hit a maximum of one hundred feet. Do they want to burn out the outside of Leping City?"
"It seems that they can't defeat this city. They want to scare the city lord, right?"
"Maybe the city lord can come and rescue us."
Shi Le was still lucky and hoped that Liu Gu could send troops to rescue the two of them. But here Qing Cang gave an order.
"The bifurcated car is ready to fire!"
A large number of crossbow arrows flew out of the crossbow cart with tinder oil and flames and rushed towards the city wall. These crossbow arrows hit the city tower in an unrighteous manner.
When the two saw this, they were stunned. The arrival of the crossbows slapped them in the face.
Shi Le sighed: "Are we really going to surrender?"
"Look at the fire in the city tower is getting bigger and bigger. The city lord doesn't know if there is anything wrong."
They were even worried about Liu Gu, not knowing what medicine Liu Gu took for them, which would make them so worried and loyal. If Liu Gu was still alive, they might have turned against each other one day, so in Qing Cang's heart, Liu Gu must die.
While the two of them were talking, a large number of crossbow arrows flew out, and the fire spread rapidly, burning countless soldiers on the city wall to death. The huge flames made the enemy dare not get too close to the city wall.
Leping City is just a small city, it is one number smaller than Quyang, so there is no so-called rock shaking existence. Therefore, as long as the army on the city wall cannot approach, it will be half the victory.
Qing Cang saw the time was ripe. "Prepare five vehicles in the rushing car city and equip Niuli."
I originally thought Leping was a big city, but after seeing it, I immediately made a judgment and did not use all the cars to rush into the city.
The soldiers quickly equipped the Crazy Bull, and waited for Qing Cang to give the order, and then they could aim at the city gate and rush away.
Shi Le and the others felt shocked again. It turned out that Chongcheng Car had such an operation, and what was even more shocking was still coming.
With Qing Cang's order, five rushing cars rushed towards the city gate and frantically. This scared Liu Gu on the city tower. Once the city gate was broken, the two armies would have a fight. He compared the two armies and had a completely different mental outlook. If there were a few casualties on his side, the soldiers would definitely escape directly. What's more important than life? Due to the disarray of military discipline, it doesn't matter if they are a deserter or something.
Liu Gu felt the threat and immediately shouted, "Shoot the arrow! Raise! Shoot them to death!"
Everyone received the order, and a large number of bows and arrows flew out from behind the city wall, and were shot at five rushing cars. But what he could not have imagined was that none of these bows and arrows were inserted into the rushing cars.
"The city lord is completely useless. The car rushing to the city is like a wall of iron and can't be shot through at all!"
These cars rushing to the city gate as if they were entering a no-man's land, rushing towards the city gate frantically.
boom
The first car to rush into the city gate has begun to raid.
Boom boom boom boom
Immediately afterwards, the other four vehicles also arrived, and the entire city tower was shaking.
"The crossbow cannon has advanced ten meters, and I want everyone on the city wall to be cleared!"
Once the city gate is broken, if the archers on the city wall are unclear, then some of their own army will inevitably die once they enter.
"The bifurcated car is ready to fire!"
A large number of crossbows shot towards the city wall, and the entire city wall had fallen into a sea of fire. From a distance, you can see Liu Gu quickly fleeing with his men.
At the same time, the city gate was broken.
"Four major commanders obey the orders!"
"yes!"
"The whole army attacks"
The army quickly entered the city like bulldozers. After they arrived, no enemy army could escape the pursuit. A large number of enemy troops surrendered, and casualties were killed and injured.
This battle took only two hours to resolve.
The Chinese Army lost more than 600 people, in exchange for killing 3,000 enemies, surrendering 2,000, and nearly 3,000 deserters. Qing Cangling searched the entire city, but no matter what, he could not find Liu Gu's trace.
"Captain Zhao, Commander Zhang, you will each lead two thousand cavalrymen and be sure to recover Liu Gu!"
Liu Gu must not let him run away, so he sent cavalry to chase him, because infantry alone could not catch up.
