Chapter 54: The Siege is Setback

The main attack direction of the bandits was the East Gate. The other three gates were just feint attacks as a restraint. The total number of bandits exceeding 30,000 was half, and more than 100 people died. For the siege troops with more than 10,000 people, this loss was completely negligible. The bandits still took big steps and rushed forward.

Xu Daofu, who was supervising the battle, felt that his morale was not strong enough, and suddenly shouted: "Chu is a clan of the high school! Chu Shuang has a young daughter, who is just about to be a disciple of Ji, and she is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is still a man who is waiting to marry! Whoever attacks the city first will reward him with the woman, and give him another 100 kilograms of gold, and gets promoted to the third level!"

"Kill!" As if he was injected with chicken blood, the thieves were full of energy. The temptation of the high-ranking scholars and women to ordinary people was unimaginable. This was not only due to their beauty and body, but also to their unattainable identity. Just like Wei Feng spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of female celebrities in his previous life, it was actually just that. He took off his makeup and took off his clothes. In terms of appearance and figure, he might be inferior to that of a middle-aged and superior good woman, but the satisfaction and vanity that comes from playing with noble women is different!

Look? Don’t look at her slutty look in public, but she has slept for me? The thieves also have the same mentality!

"Shameless dog thief!" Chu Lingyuan was so angry that she shivered all over. She felt that Wei Feng was better than Xu Daofu. Although Wei Feng humiliated herself, she at least treated herself as an individual and did not let others get involved. Xu Daofu treated herself as a goods!

Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Lingyuan and advised helplessly: "Lingyuan, what do you care about him? He must be able to break through the city!"

"Yeah!" Chu Lingyuan nodded heavily and threw her resentful eyes down again. She just saw that the bandits had approached within fifty steps. Arrows were like rain on the top of the city. Although the power of the bow and arrow was not as powerful as a crossbow, it was still not to be underestimated at dozens of steps. Flashes of arrows fell, and the city screamed and the bodies were stacked layer by layer. At this moment, she felt too relieved. She wished that the soldiers could shoot all the bandits to death with just bows and arrows!

Mainland cities like Yixing are usually impossible to provide bed crossbows and catapults. The city can only be defended by bows and arrows, but this is true. The bandits do not have heavy weapons to attack the city. Facing the rain of arrows, they can only use their lives to open the way.

"Ah!" Before the excitement had passed, Chu Lingyuan screamed again. It turned out that arrows were shot up under the city, and several soldiers were shot in the face.

Chu Shuang shivered all over and said in anger: "Lingyuan, why are you calling? How can you die in battles? If you can't stand it, go home!"

"Oh, it's the little girl who has lost her composure. Please forgive me, father!" Chu Lingyuan responded embarrassedly, reached out to cover her mouth to prevent her from yelling again.

In fact, it was not only Chu Lingyuan, but also Chu Shuang, everyone in the building was extremely nervous. They looked down and didn't even blink. They were just as a man, so they were embarrassed to shout and scream.

Under the city, with the rain of arrows, the bandits rushed forward within ten steps of the city wall. Someone carried a thick log, roared at the same time, and rushed straight towards the city gate. Someone worked together to raise the stairs. As long as they ran a few more steps forward, they could lean on the city wall. Someone showed the city-breaking cone, intending to smash the city wall with brute force!

At that time, the city walls were all rammed earth walls, and only the capital and cities with strategic status would be covered with bricks. As a small county in the mainland, Yixing could not be so luxurious.

Xu Daofu's three-pronged approach showed that he was confident in attacking Yangxian. The audience in Wanglou also raised his heart to his throat. Although the defenders were elite, can they hold on with such a fierce offensive?

Jiang Xuan shouted loudly: "Stop!"

Immediately, a soldier carried a basket of black gadgets and sprinkled baskets of black gadgets down. Not only did Chu Shuang and others not understand, but even the bandits led by Xu Daofu were puzzled. What effect could this work? It was the size of an egg, so could it kill people?

As soon as the thought came out, I heard a series of oh-so-sounding sounds, and there were loud rumbling sounds. Balls of bandits fell to the ground with their feet in their arms, rolling and wailing in pain! A considerable number of them were hit by the stairs, the siege trees and the city-breaking cone, and they broke their tendons and even made into a ball of meat paste!

What Jiang Xuan asked the soldiers to sprinkle out was the caltrops made according to Wei Feng's requirements. It had four sharp caltrops, shaped like chicken feet. Each caltrop is about an inch long and has a hole in the center. It can also be spread out with ropes. It can also be thrown apart. When guarding the city, it can have unexpected results. You must know that at that time, whether the people or ordinary soldiers, they were basically straw sandals, and there were even people who did not wear shoes. Once they stepped on the caltrops, they would not die for a while, but don't think about getting up again!

Taking advantage of the chaos under the city, Jiang Xuan waved his hand again, and the soldiers worked together to lift the big pot and pour a pot of boiling oil into the city!

"Ao! Damn it, it hurts so much!"

"Who will give me a hand? I will turn around and give him all the money! Help, don't leave!"

"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly! This Yangxian is too difficult to chew, and we need to make a long-term plan!"

Accompanied by the heart-pounding cheering sound, there was obvious chaos among the bandits. The combat effectiveness of an army is not about winning the attack or defeating the battle, but about obeying orders and being able to calmly respond when in an unfavorable situation. This siege team composed of private troops of aristocratic families, county soldiers, bandits and the people is a group of mobs, and they will immediately become disorganized when they encounter setbacks!

The city had become a hell on earth. The shrill howl made my scalp numb, and even the burnt smell floated into the building. Chu Lingyuan and Mrs. Chu's faces turned blue and white, white and blue, and their throats were squirming violently. They were all relying on their strong will, so they could not vomit on the spot!

The effect of adding boiling oil to the caltrops is far greater than that of the crossbow. According to Jiang Xuan's estimate, there will be no more than five hundred bandits shot by the crossbow. The first two are used in conjunction with each other and the number of enemy troops has been killed in a thousand digits. If the damage power is further determined, it is stronger than the crossbow. If the crossbow does not hit the vital point, there is still the possibility of healing. If the caltrops are hit by boiling oil, it is better to die!

For a momentum, the city was full of momentum, and everyone was full of confidence in victory. Xu Daofu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Before he could reach the city, more than a thousand people had already lost. The feint attacks in the other three directions should also suffer corresponding losses. Moreover, although only a few people dared to flee back in the front, the offensive had stalled. When the back formation saw the miserable appearance of the front formation, the pace of progress was much slower than before!

Two days ago, he attacked Wucheng, the capital of Wuxing County (now Wuxing District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province). Xu Daofu sent people to enter the city a few days ago. He took advantage of the night to work inside and outside to break through the city gate. However, he had used similar methods for Yangxian, but the city gate was strictly investigated, and strangers could not enter at all, so he could only break through the city by attacking.
