Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 588 An Unusual Thing Happened
"Kill!" The Wuyue soldiers in the city kept shouting and killing, one after another, some people fell in a pool of blood, their arms were chopped off, their heads were chopped off, and scarlet blood was sprayed on the city wall, but they still refused to turn back. Gu.

From the point of view of the Wuyue people, these Wuyue soldiers are heroes in the eyes of their people. They opened up territories, invaded the Tang country, and avenged their hatred.

However, in the eyes of people from Southern Tang and Runzhou, these are invaders, foreign enemies, the more ferocious they are, the more they are equivalent to demons.

The battle entered an incandescent phase and continued from noon to dusk.

But what is more bizarre today is that at dusk, when the sun sets and the sky is getting darker, Wu Yue's army did not withdraw and retreat, and continued to fight at night. What happened today?

Unusually, Wu Yuebing planned to continue attacking at night. Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of the time of day? The light at night was dim, which might provide light cover for the attackers.

In this way, the accuracy rate of the archers at the top of the city will be reduced, and people's spirits will also be sluggish. Is this the calculation of Wu Yuebing?

Lu Jiang couldn't figure it out for a while, and watched the battle under the city with a serious face, not relaxing.

.........

Wu Yue soldiers were attacking the city fiercely, even at night, they still attacked again.

Inside and outside the city wall, torches were brightly lit, and the south and east gates of the city wall were all lit with fire, illuminating the entire Runzhou city as if it were daytime.

This time, Wu Yuebing also used many large-scale trebuchets and made a lot of fireball bombs, that is, put a lot of burning materials such as grease into clay urns to make fireball bombs. , Throwing these fireballs into the top of the city wall and inside the city, immediately, the flames brought to the top of the city burned.

Such a method of attacking with fire brought certain difficulties to the Tang army defending the city.

"It's water, hurry up and put out the fire!"

"Ah, be careful, there is kerosene!"

The soldiers on the top of the city panicked. While resisting Wu Yuebing's attack, they also had to assign some people to put out the fire. They were very busy for a while.

Behind the Wengcheng in Runzhou, nearby farmers, houses, and temporary military camps were also hit by long-range rockets, igniting a block of houses and causing a fire.

"Extinguish the fire quickly, don't let the fire spread!"

Lu Jiang issued an order, and a Du Yuhou turned around and led 2000 people to inspect the fire site and extinguish it one after another.

If the fire is allowed to spread, it will separate the top of the city from the barracks in the rear of the city, thick smoke will billow, and the fire will spread, making it impossible to defend the city normally, which will have a great impact on defense.

Therefore, fire fighting is also imminent.

Wu Yue soldiers just wanted to create chaos and kept throwing fire bombs and burning objects at the top of the city.

Fortunately, within a few tens of meters from the inner city wall, there are very few farmers living, so these fireballs fell into the Wengcheng, but did not cause too many casualties to the people in the city.

But Wu Yuebing's fighting style today is a bit weird. Su Chen looked at the Wuyue soldiers below the city, the offensive has slowed down, but they still haven't given up, and they used this kind of fireball rockets to set fire to the top of the city.

Although it is said that it will cause trouble for the harvest, it is too simple to use this to break the city.
What does Wu Yuebing want to do?
With a trace of suspicion, this is not normal anymore, it seems that they are doing everything they can, and they are actively attacking the city, but Su Chen always feels that it is too deliberate.

Is this just a simple night siege, or is there another conspiracy?
Bao Zhi, the vanguard general of the Wuyue army, led two Duke Yuhou and several capital heads, lurking in a forest beside the canal outside the northern city.

Bao Zhi said: "This time is a good opportunity to make a contribution. General Shen entrusted me with the important task of sneaking into the city and cooperating with the inside and outside. This time we must live up to the entrustment! After the previous two failures, our pioneer battalion, Danshui Encountered an ambush, failed to attack the city successively, and received some punishment. But this time, General Shen gave me an adventurous mission. If you want to go all out, you must go to the city."

"Understood!" A group of dead soldiers all nodded.

Bao Zhi continued: "This strategy, proposed by Miaoshi Jiao, will definitely have miraculous effects, and we will firmly implement it to the end!"

"General Bao, don't worry, we must complete the mission this time.

"That's right. The first two times we lost our troops and lost our generals, and we were suffocated. This time we took the opportunity to enter the city and start a massacre, so that all Tang troops surrendered at our feet."

"Kill all the Tang troops and plunder the property. We must give the people of Runzhou a good look."

These dead men dressed in black were all in high spirits, their eyes full of fierce light.

They have a grudge against Tang Jun and the people of Runzhou.

Bao Zhi nodded, chose a Marquis of Du Yu named Zhang Shun, and said, "Zhang Shun, these five hundred pioneers, you bring them from the waterway to the water gate, and find a way to have the chains hung on the Qianjin gate. Pulling a lot of war horses from behind will definitely break the jack gate and fall down. You take the opportunity to rush in, occupy the position, and then release the signal arrows. We will go in through the bamboo raft and take the opportunity to seize the north gate and let the outside army enter the city. .

"Excellent!" Du Yuhou Zhang Shun nodded.

Zhang Shun is from Yuhang, he is good at leading sailors, and his water skills are also excellent.This time he led the team to pass through the waters of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and dive into the city from outside the city.

"General Bao, don't worry, this matter is left to us."

Zhang Shun first selected the two best divers, then went down the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and dived up and down from the water.

It took about a cup of tea, and the two of them followed the canal flow down, and had already dived from the water to the north city wall, which was the gate where the canal entered Runzhou City.

When the two were diving in the water, they held the rope in their hands. At this time, they tied the rope on the gate smoothly. This kind of gate, let alone relying on the strength of two people, even if ten or eight people come over, it is difficult to pry it up in the water. , but if it is pulled by a carriage far away from the shore after tying the rope, it is a method.

If it was daytime, this action would be watched by the guards on the top of the city, but at night, they used the light to block it, but they successfully sneaked into the city and tied them up.

At this time, in the east and south cities of the city, fires were being put out everywhere, and many city defenders rushed to fight the fire. In addition, the siege of the city was tight, and the defense of the city in the north was relaxed a lot.

Du Yuhou Zhang Shun saw that the rope had been tied to the Qianjin gate, so he sent a team of [-] men in black to set off along the banks on both sides of the Grand Canal, taking advantage of the darkness and fog.

These people were all dressed in night clothes, holding single knives and short distances in their hands, and slowly approached the canal water gate gate on the city wall at the back. As long as the heavy iron gate blocking the entrance was torn off, they could rush into the city along the canal flow and carry out Killed.
