The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 52

As soon as Xu time arrived, outside the palace city, suddenly the drums sounded like thunder, and the horns sounded like weeping.

There were countless shouts of killing, and the densely packed Leizhou army of more than [-] began to attack the city.These two armies are under the command of Lord Ge Li's cronies, and they are still working hard.

On the wall of the palace, the torches illuminate the top of the city like daytime.

When the Leizhou Army arrived within 300 meters, the catapult was lifted up with a bang, and the stone was thrown towards the army formation outside the city.

Numerous imperial guards crowded around the city gate, making it impossible to get through.

The Leizhou army walked tens of meters with the stone on top of them.

Countless crossbow bolts roared out from the crossbow base of the city wall again.

Many soldiers in the front row of the Leizhou Army were shot and fell to the ground.

They walked another 200 meters with the catapults and crossbow arrows in this way.

Su Quandang, Su Liuyi, Yue Peng and other generals shouted in unison on the city wall, "Shoot the arrow!"

Because Lord Geli gathered all his troops in the east to attack, and there was no enemy army in the south, Yue Peng was also transferred to the east to assist in the defense.

In an instant, rockets rained down towards the Leizhou army formation.

These rockets are coated with kerosene, which is oil.When it fell into the Leizhou army formation, countless Leizhou soldiers were set on fire, and the flames rose instantly, turning those soldiers into burning men, screaming and dancing, which was extremely miserable.

They are much more miserable than those soldiers who fell to the ground directly because the flames will not kill them instantly.

Mr. Ge Li was sitting at the end of the army formation, but he kept shouting, "Beat the drum! Let's beat the drum! Let's beat the drum!"

He knew that with his own strength alone, there was no possibility of breaking the city, and he pinned all his hopes on the soldiers of the Yuan army.

Everyone knew in their hearts that as long as Zhang Hongfan and Li Hengdeng shouted, someone would definitely mutiny immediately after the Yuan army fell to a stroke.

The days when these surrendered pawns were accepted and surrendered were still very short, and it was impossible to sincerely support the Southern Song Dynasty court.

A few minutes passed like this, the Leizhou army withstood several waves of arrow feathers, leaving corpses everywhere, and finally rushed to the bottom of the city.

The Southern Song army no longer used catapults on the city wall, and the soldiers lifted up the stones and threw them down.Now that the city is densely populated with Leizhou soldiers, there is no need to aim at all, and some unlucky ones will always be smashed and bloody.

Several siege teams of the Leizhou Army pushed the siege vehicles, guarded by shield soldiers, and robbed the city gate.

There were stones and arrows raining down on the top of the city. These soldiers fell, and soldiers immediately came up behind them, pushing the siege vehicles forward.

Along the city wall, dozens of ladders were erected by Leizhou soldiers, directly on the wall of the city wall.

Countless archers drew their bows and shot arrows, and fought back at the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty on the city wall.

Speaking of it, although there are more than 4 soldiers in Xinggong City, the soldiers of the Yuan army are useless. The Leizhou soldiers who have just surrendered have low combat effectiveness, and they are mostly arranged next to those soldiers of the Yuan army. Not many people, not even twenty-five thousand.Among them, 5000 people are deployed on the south wall to prevent the enemy from sneaking in. On the east wall, the real combat power is definitely less than 2.

But fortunately, there are indeed many loyal men in the two armies of supporting and protecting the state, and they are also very hardworking in throwing stones and shooting arrows.

The Leizhou army under the city paid a huge price all the time.

Attacking a city requires several times as many troops as defending it.

After a stalemate for 10 minutes, no one from the Leizhou Army under the city was able to attack the city.

At the gate of the city, although the siege engine had arrived at the gate and kept crashing, the suspension bridge firmly stuck by the steel was not easy to break.

Mr. Ge Li watched from the back as he lost all his efforts and made no progress in attacking the city, so he couldn't help looking anxiously at Zhang Hongfan's army.

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were in no rush, they just let the sergeant beat the drums to cheer for the Leizhou army.

It wasn't until the time of Haishi that the Leizhou army under the city had probably lost several thousand, and it was only then that someone climbed the ladder to the top of the city.

They were actually scared of being beaten, but they couldn't see Mingjin, so they could only bite the bullet and grab the city.

Yue Peng was standing on top of the wall with a gun in his hand. When he saw a Leizhou army climbing up the ladder, he stabbed him with a single shot.

The Leizhou soldier puffed up his eyes immediately, his vitality disappeared instantly, he fell towards the city, and even knocked down two people.

Yue Peng glared angrily, and shouted to himself: "You bastards, come here!"

At this time, a soldier rushed to report, "General, there are no more stones and arrows!"

There are not many craftsmen in Quzhou Island, and there is already a shortage of arrows. Even though they have been working overtime these days, and they have obtained a lot of arrows from the soldiers who surrendered from the Yuan army and the surrendered troops from Leizhou, they can't stand the consumption.

"Master's!"

Yue Peng cursed angrily, and shouted: "If you don't have any arrows, let the archer draw a knife for me! I will throw everything that can be smashed!"

"Yes!"

The summoner was ordered to run away in a hurry.

Not long after, some soldiers pushed down the catapults.

Yue Peng watched, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "This group of prodigals!"

Then he saw the catapult falling down and knocking down many Leizhou soldiers, he grinned again, "Well done!"

Just in time, an arrow flew towards him.

In the night, even Yue Peng's eyesight couldn't see clearly.Fortunately, the arrow just grazed the top of his head and shot off the red tassel on his helmet.

Yue Peng scolded again: "Fuck your grandma!"

Then he took off the helmet on top of his head and threw it down.

After another 10 minutes like this, almost all the things that could be smashed on the city wall were smashed.

Su Liuyi knew that it was Yue Peng who gave the order, so he almost didn't come over to fight him.

After the arrow feathers stopped, the Leizhou army, under the cover of archers, finally rushed to the top of the city.Their family background is much stronger than that of the imperial guards in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The two armies fought hand-to-hand on the top of the city wall, but the Leizhou army only had a small number of soldiers on the city wall, and they were always suppressed.

Yue Peng's face was covered in blood, and he kept yelling and cursing.

He actually looks handsome, but at this moment, he looks like a demon god.

Su Quandang is good at kung fu, but he has a different personality from him. He just leads his soldiers to run around, and supports them wherever they can't support them.

Mr. Ge Li learned from the messenger that the soldiers had taken the top of the city, showing a little joy, and said to the military commander next to him: "Go and let those martial arts masters help our army to take the top of the city. The government has raised them for so many years, it should be It’s time for them to do their part.”

In this day and age, there are so many Lianjiazi, it is not unusual for the government to raise some martial arts masters.

The military division led the order to go down.

Not long after, hundreds of Leizhou troops of various shapes and colors came out of the tents and rushed towards the city.

When they marched, they were extremely scattered. Although they were wearing armor, they were still loose, more like a show.These people are naturally those martial arts masters bought by Mr. Ge Li.

Of course they couldn't fight in earnest, but at this time the Leizhou Army had soldiers rushing to the top of the city, and the Imperial Army of the Southern Song Dynasty didn't have enough stones to stop them from climbing the city wall, so these martial arts masters could play their role.With their skills, as long as they climbed the city wall, they could pose a big threat to the Imperial Army of the Southern Song Dynasty.

But at this moment, during the bloody battle on the city wall, no Southern Song generals noticed these people in the night.

Almost at the same time, the Yuan army led by Zhang Hongfan also charged towards the palace.

As they charged, they shouted: "Soldiers of the Yuan army, if you don't open the city gate, help me take the city, when will you wait?"

When the soldiers of the Yuan army in the city heard these shouts, they couldn't help whispering to each other.His eyes also kept looking at the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty next to him.

The situation in the Southern Song Dynasty was weak, if they were not afraid of not being able to go back to the north, how many of them would choose to stay in Quzhou Island?
Now that Zhang Hongfan is leading the army to attack the city again, they naturally see hope.Surrendering was a helpless move. They felt that the commander would definitely not punish them, otherwise, the commander would not let the soldiers shout and let them assist in the capture of the city.

In just a few minutes, many of the hundreds of martial arts masters in the Leizhou army had climbed the city wall.

Most of their skills are good, far from being invincible to ordinary soldiers.

And in the city, some soldiers from the Yuan army really started to mutiny.They suddenly burst into a violent fight, wrestling with the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty next to them.

This kind of mutiny spread quickly like the Duogu Nuo card, and more and more soldiers from the Yuan army began to attack.

Wan Yanzhang, a general of the Yuan army, was immediately surrounded by dozens of Southern Song guards at the top of the city.

His eyes flickered slightly, and after several changes, he didn't make a move, but shouted to the city: "Jurchen soldiers stop quickly!"

Even Su Liuyi, who was not far away, felt a little surprised, but he never let the guards around him evacuate.

A soldier of the Jurchen tribe under the city heard Wan Yanzhang's shout, looked up and saw that it was the general, and actually stopped, knelt down and surrendered again.

Wan Yanzhang still had a very high prestige in the Jurchen army, after all, he was one of the few high-ranking Jurchen generals in the Yuan Dynasty.

However, there was chaos in the city at this time, and his shouts did not achieve much effect.

Hundreds of Leizhou Army's martial arts masters raged on the city wall, but in a short while, they forcibly won a foothold of more than ten meters for the Leizhou Army.
