Chapter 275 Envy, Jealousy and Hate (please subscribe!)

...

Outside Gaotang Prefecture, in the large tent of the Chinese Army in Erlong Mountain.

Song Jiang asked Wu Yong: "Does the military commander have any good strategies to destroy the city?"

Wu Yong shook his feather fan for a while, and then said: "Now we have to go back to Erlong Mountain first, and then seek revenge in the future."

It's not that Wu Yong didn't want to do his best, but that although Gaotang City is small, it has a lot of troops and food, and it keeps its gates tightly closed. Let alone Erlong Mountain, there are only 6000 or 2 people, and even 100 or 2000 people can't do anything to it. Wu Yong used almost all the methods he could think of, such as digging tunnels, etc. In exchange, more than [-] people were killed and injured in more than [-] days.

Song Jiang cupped his fists at Gao Tangcheng, and said: "Officer Chai is Song Jiang's best friend. When Song Jiang was down and down, Officer Chai treated each other with courtesy. I didn't teach Song Jiang to be half wronged. Today, Officer Chai is very close." In the prison, how could Song Jiang not try his best to rescue him? And the reason why Chai Daguan fell into the land he is today is because he helped me Erlongshan and took in Li Kui, that black guy. If it wasn't for that black guy who didn't know the severity After Yin Tianxi was beaten to death, Chai Daguan took the iron certificate of Danshu to sue the imperial court, even if Gao Lian had the guts of a dog, he would definitely not dare to arrest Chai Daguan."

The truth is this truth.

But the problem is, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it. Even if you say you broke the sky, you can't beat this Gaotang state.

Is it so exhausting all the time?

Let's not talk about food and grass.

The key is that the consumption of soldiers and horses is decreasing. If the imperial court sends troops to help, Erlong Mountain is in danger of being wiped out.

Moreover, they were originally a group of rabble, and they have not been defeated for so long, and the morale of the army has been lost. If they continue to fight, even if they do not mutiny, there will be deserters.

This is why Wu Yong suggested that Song Jiang withdraw his troops first.

It's not that Song Jiang doesn't understand these principles, but he is not reconciled!

If you want to get an official, kill and set fire to be recruited.

Li Yan is a living example. He jumped from a bandit to a second-rank official in the dynasty.

(According to the "New Book of Tang·Hundred Officials and Four Officials", the Andong Duhufu was the Daduhufu of the Tang Dynasty, and the official ranks of officials at all levels in the Daduhufu were from the second rank to the ninth rank. In addition, according to the Tang Dynasty For an official position, the governor should be a second-rank official, so Li Yan is now an official of the second rank.)
Second grade master!
If Song Jiang could get such a high official position, he would die in peace!

Song Jiang is envious, jealous and hateful!
Of course, no matter how jealous you are, you have to face practical difficulties.

After being silent for a long time, Song Jiang gritted his teeth and said, "Tonight I will personally command and fight again. If this city cannot be broken, we will retreat to Erlong Mountain tomorrow, and then Song Jiang will plead guilty to King Chao Tian and take on this matter independently!"

that night.

Sure enough, Song Jiang was wearing a helmet and armor and standing on the front line to command.

Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Dai Zong, Li Kui, Lei Heng, Mu Hong, Yan Shun, Mu Chun, and Li Li were all ready to attack the city.

Only Zhu Dian was left alone waiting to break through the gate city and lead the horse army to charge and kill.

Because it was the last battle, Song Jiang also went all out, and sent all the elite equipped with the two thousand soldiers provided by Li Yan to attack the city.

It can be said that Song Jiang really broke the boat this time.

As soon as the battle started, the elite of Erlong Mountain charged under the city wall with their large shields on their backs.

After paying the price of two or three hundred casualties, Erlongshan's infantry finally rushed to the wall.

With more than a dozen ladders set up, Erlongshan's infantry began to attack the city desperately.

Many people think that the most difficult to attack is the kind of big city with towering and majestic walls.

In fact, you are wrong. Most of the big cities are much easier to fight than small castles, because the protection of the main cities is generally guarded by the nearby continuous passes and troops. It can show that the defenders' troops are almost wiped out, all field battles have basically failed, important passes have been lost, and morale is gone.

Moreover, the huge city walls of large cities look terrible, but when they really fight, the defenders' forces are scattered on the walls for dozens of miles, and they can easily be concentrated and broken through. Like Li Yuan's defeat of Chang'an, and the Qing army's defeat of Jinan, they were easily won Yes, if you want to say that the most difficult to fight is actually the kind of small castle town, all kinds of defense methods are complete, the internal personnel are enough to rotate, and there are also troops waiting for the opportunity outside, the morale is high, the attacking party can only Can take human life recklessly.

This is the case with Gaotang City. Although the city is not big, it has a lot of army and food, so that Song Jiang failed to take it down after three or four months.

If it hadn't been for the weakness of Song Dynasty, who couldn't send out reinforcements, Erlong Mountain would have been defeated long ago.

Golden Juice!

Kerosene!

Rolling logs and rocks!

The screams of the minions of Erlongshan can be heard endlessly!
However, Song Jiang turned a deaf ear!
Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Song Jiang punched Qin Ming and the others, and said, "Brothers, whether we will eat meat or be thirsty for soup will depend on this battle, so please!"

Li Kui drank a jar of wine in one breath, then threw the jar on the ground, and then said: "Brother, don't worry, if you can't rush to the city, Tie Niu will never come back alive!"

Qin Ming also drank three big bowls of wine in a row, then smashed the bowls and said, "To capture Gaotang City, I will kill Gao Lian!"

The others also drank Zhuang Xingjiu and vowed to take down this Gaotang city!

It is not difficult to see from this that Song Jiang and others are really ruthless.

Li Kui took out two broad axes, and without a helmet or armor, he rushed towards the walled city without a helmet or armor.

Qin Ming didn't take his own life seriously like Li Kui, he wished he could arm himself to the teeth, but the Human Torch was not for nothing, and his charging speed was not inferior to Li Kui.

At the same time, Huang Xin and others also mixed in with the advancing pawns and followed them to the city.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"Go away, grandpa!"

"Stay out of Grandpa's way!"

"..."

Li Kui screamed, cursed, and rushed up the ladder!
Whoever dares to stand in front of Li Kui, Li Kui doesn't care if they are his own people, he will cut down the ladder one by one, and he will not be soft-hearted.

Li Kui is like chopping melons and vegetables for his own people. In addition to his super deterrent power, he is also extremely beneficial for charging!

For one thing, the little bosses and minions of Erlong Mountain on the ladder that Li Kui climbed will not hinder Li Kui's speed of climbing the ladder, so that Li Kui can be less attacked!

Secondly, on the ladder that Li Kui climbed, the little bosses and minions of Erlong Mountain had to rush forward if they didn't want to be hacked to death by Li Kui. Juice, kerosene, and even rolling logs and stones!

When all the little bosses and minions of Erlong Mountain on the ladder that Li Kui climbed are dead or they jump off the ladder, Li Kui will soon be caught in the wall city.

At this time, a pot of golden juice poured down against Li Kui's black head!

If it was someone else, he would either hide, or be scalded off the ladder by the golden juice.

But Li Kui only blocked his head and face with the axe, and then, without dodging or dodging, he rushed up to the city wall against the hot pot of golden juice, and then swung the two axe with a stench as if he hadn't been scalded by the golden juice. Hack and kill!

Li Kui's bravery frightened all the officers and soldiers defending the city, and unconsciously gave Li Kui a large piece of open space!

At the same time, for the first time, there was chaos on the city wall!

On the other side, taking advantage of the chaos created by Li Kui, Qin Ming also charged up the city wall, and then desperately hacked and killed the officers and soldiers!

Seeing that the two generals rushed up the city wall, Song Jiang threw down his crutches, then picked up the drumsticks and beat the war drum desperately, hoping to take down Gaotang City in one go!
