Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 711 Siege of Wenzhou City

Wuyue territory.

Outside Wenzhou City, armies surrounded from all sides.

This place was called Oudi in ancient times, also known as Dongou. It was established in 323 A.D. as Yongjia County. It is said that there was a white deer holding a flower around the city when it was built, so it was named Lucheng.In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Wenzhou, and it was known as "the best mountains and rivers in the southeast".

At the south gate of Wenzhou City, Lu Chaoqun and other Heiyundu military generals gathered here to watch the gate tower. The governor of Wenzhou and the defenders were too frightened to leave the city.

If you look down from the top of the city tower, you will see an army of thousands of troops.

Lv Chaoqun, Lv Zheng and his son merged all the way, and together with surrendered troops, a [-] army entered the jurisdiction of Wenzhou, successively conquered the four surrounding counties of Yongjia, Yueqing, Pingyang, and Ruian, and approached the city of Wenzhou.

The father and son are very happy now, because now they have a [-] army in their hands, and they seem to be able to rule the world.

As the saying goes: with ten thousand soldiers, there is no border; with one hundred thousand soldiers, the earth reaches the sky.

The [-] army spread out, and the formation could stretch for ten miles, besieging Wenzhou City, and almost surrounded the ancient city of Wenzhou.

Lu Zheng said: "Father, Wenzhou City has Wu Yue Jinghai Jiedu Envoy Cheng Rui and Inspector Shi Dianzhen, who are free from battle and will not go out of the city to face the battle. This time we can attack from all directions, conquer Wenzhou City with one effort, and strengthen our army!"

Lu Chaoqun nodded. He had already expected this situation.

"Shuai Lu, the last general is willing to ask for a command arrow to lead the army to attack the south gate."

"Shuai Lu, the last general, is willing to be the vanguard and lead the troops to attack Ximen."

Generals of the Lu family army, such as Gao Fuquan, Wang Yuanbo, Zhao Cong, and Liao Xian, volunteered for the mission one after another.

The two deputy commanders, Wei Dongqiang and Qi Ying, were naturally not to be outdone, and wanted to lead troops to attack the city. They were in charge of the north and east gates.

Lu Chaoqun nodded. Seeing that the morale of the Heiyundu army was high, there was really no need to think too much about it. Moreover, the food and grass they carried was limited, and they only relied on supplies from the granaries in the counties. Once they took Wenzhou City, the food and grass in the city would be enough for them One hundred thousand troops have been used for several months.

"Okay, Gao Fuquan listens to the order, you quickly lead [-] troops and attack the south gate!"

"The last general takes orders!" Gao Fuquan clasped his fists and held the order.

Lu Chaoqun continued to issue orders: "Wang Yuanbo and Zhao Cong listen to the order. You two will lead [-] troops to attack Ximen."

"Decree!" The two also clasped their fists together.

Lu Chaoqun looked at the two lieutenants Wei Dongqiang and Qi Ying, and said: "General Wei, General Qi, you two can lead your troops to besiege at the north and east gates!"

"Decree!" Wei Dongqiang and Qi Ying also took the command arrow.

Lu Chaoqun then said: "A moment later, attack from all sides, work together, take down Wenzhou City, and strengthen our army!"

"Yes!" All the soldiers responded loudly.

A moment passed quickly.

Outside the city of Wenzhou, the army moved, ready to attack the city.

"Siege the city immediately, charge!"

"Kill!"

Heiyundu's army launched an attack on Wenzhou City
The shield hand blocked the front, trapped the ladder hand, knife and axe hand, and spear hand in the middle, and rushed to the city.

"Shhhhhh!"

A sound of piercing through the air resounded, and several rows of archers in the back shot wildly towards the top of the city to cover the attack of their own soldiers.

The general waved his flag, and thousands of archers lined up in front of the formation, shooting arrows at the top of the city. The arrows were scattered like locusts, and the sky was covered with black arrow feathers over Wenzhou City.

Wuyue soldiers used long boards and shields to block the flying arrows. At the same time, the archers in the first few rows of the city began to shoot randomly at the Heiyundu army below the city. For a while, the long-range attacks of the two sides had already clashed.

Because the city wall of Wenzhou is very high, it is more difficult to move ladders and climb the city. The soldiers of Heiyundu are brave and brave, braving arrows and stones, burning wood with oil, and poisonous smoke from stone powder, they still attack the city gate.

A siege is not like a field battle. There are many people and they rush forward to surround and annihilate the enemy. The more people, the more powerful the momentum.

Due to the limited area of ​​the siege and the limited ladders, the attack space that can be used is also limited.

It is useless for more than [-] people to rush to the city at the same time, only to be shot and killed by the guards. Because there are too many people, if you close your eyes and throw a stone casually, you can hit several people.

Often smart generals attack in separate waves, one after the other, and fight with each other vigorously, one after another, so that the soldiers in the rear can rest and rest, and the most important thing is to avoid playing the role of cannon fodder.

There are less than [-] soldiers who can stand apart from the defenders on the city wall. The defenders in the city are lining up to replace one after another, and the sound of killing is loud.

The random arrows scattered vertically and horizontally. Even the soldiers inside the city pass had to be careful, pay attention to dodging, and always use shields to block their bodies, otherwise they would be shot by the arrows that suddenly flew in the air at some point.

"Kill!"

"Breaking Wenzhou City!"

Under the Sifang City, tens of thousands of charging soldiers shouted in their mouths, their fighting spirit was high, and they rushed forward like a tide rolling towards a dam.

Heiyundu soldiers who climbed the ladder had single knives hanging from their waists, held a shield in one hand, and climbed up the ladder with the other hand. They used their shields to block the stones and logs falling head-on. He fell down and was disabled even if he did not die.

"Don't be afraid, keep going!"

"Making meritorious deeds is just around the corner, brothers, kill!"

There are many Dutou and Duyuhou in Heiyundu, constantly encouraging the soldiers to attack the city regardless of life or death.

The Wuyue archers on the city saw many enemy soldiers, blocked the stones in front with their shields, approached the top of the city slowly, and couldn't help but shot a few arrows from the side.

Hei Yundu's soldiers who were climbing the ladder were hit by an arrow unexpectedly and fell down, dying on the spot.

"kill--"

The two sides have not yet engaged in hand-to-hand combat, but there are already thousands of casualties. The soldiers in Heiyundu are at a disadvantage in terms of casualties and losses, because they do not occupy a geographical advantage.

But Heiyundu's army has [-] people, there is no shortage of people, [-] died and fell down, and [-] rushed up, making the defenders at the top of the city very busy, and were accidentally shot by arrows from the army below In the middle of the arrow piercing, amidst the screams, he fell headlong to the city, broke his leg, and burst his brain.

"Give it to me, keep going!"

Gao Fuquan held a broadsword and sat on a horse commanding the army. Seeing that many of his subordinates were killed by arrows or fell down by stones and rolling logs, he was furious. Shoot them dead with your hands, and suppress them fiercely!"

It has to be said that the black clouds are too fierce, and in terms of momentum, they have already overwhelmed the defenders.

Dianzhen, the governor of Wenzhou City, felt nervous and afraid when he saw such a huge and fierce army. There were only 2000 defenders in the Jinghai Navy and 5000 guards in the city. [-] people, but compared with the [-] troops under the city, it is still much less.

In recent years, Wu Vietnam has no wars, so there are very few recruits in normal times, and the Jing Navy has been reduced to 8000 people stationed in Runzhou.

Inspector Dianzhen was a little shaken, if he continued to defend like this, he would definitely not be able to defend, it was only a matter of time before the city was broken, and he was secretly worried.
