Disarmed and returned to the field: the goddess of war returns to the village to engage in construct

268 The Great War 1
It is said that after Qi Sheng had arrived in Rongcheng, the army camped five miles away.

Not besieging the city, just besieging but not suppressing.

But the rebels didn't dare to open the city gates. They were already terrified of being beaten, and managed to escape back. They didn't dare to attack rashly. They were waiting for the arrival of other coalition forces.

Qi Sheng looked gloomyly at the closed gate of Rongcheng, without saying a word.

A young general asked puzzledly: "General, why don't we attack the city? Shouldn't we make a quick decision? If we delay it, if their reinforcements arrive, it will be bad for us."

Qi Sheng: "No hurry!"

Banyan City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you attack by force, you will injure the enemy 1000 and self-damage 800. The price is too high.

As the saying goes, "Suspending troops to attack fortifications is taboo in the art of war."

Several leaders held a small meeting. Some advocated forcible siege, while others believed that they should be outsmarted and try their best to reduce casualties.

Parents look forward to their son's return, their wives look forward to their husband's return, and their children look forward to their father's return.

Everyone should live a good life and go home with glory to honor their ancestors.

In the end, they decided to carry out a surprise attack, using fakes to confuse real ones, real ones and fake ones, and finally deal them a fatal blow.

Qi Sheng made the decision: "Lu Deyong, tonight, you will lead [-] soldiers to the north gate of the city. The purpose is to harass them and keep them from being too idle."

Qi Sheng pointed at the map and said, "Some people are fighting at the south gate, and the rest are going to the official road to intercept their food and grass, is it clear?"

"Clear!"

Qi Sheng nodded: "Everyone, get ready."

There are so many people in a city, and so many horses, they need to eat and drink.

It is impossible to store so much grain and grass, and intercepting grain and grass will cut off their retreat and expand their own granary, so why not do it.

For three days in a row, there were Long Xiaojun from the north and south sects calling for formation. They were very smart and stood outside the range of bows and arrows.

The distance is far away, and the people on the city wall can't hear a person's shout at all.

So, they all formed a phalanx with hundreds of people.

One phalanx shouted after another. When this phalanx was tired of shouting, another phalanx continued.

The voice is so loud that it's hard not to hear it.

Most of the scolding content is related to the organs of the human body, and there are people in the family, from the 18th generation of ancestors to the grandchildren, how ugly and how come.

The people on the city wall who heard it gritted their teeth, wishing to open the city gate and fight them to the death.

There are irritable people who directly bend their bows and shoot the big eagles, oh no, bow their bows and shoot the Dragon Xiaojun.

It's just that the distance was too far to help. He was so angry that he threw his bow and arrows to the ground and beat the city wall desperately.

Long Xiaojun was also going too far, they changed wave after wave, shouting no matter day or night, which made the rebels even more angry.

A lieutenant general couldn't bear it anymore, and led a team of troops to open the city gate and rushed out.

And Long Xiaojun got on his horse, turned around and ran away.

The rebels were so angry that they chased after him desperately without even thinking about it.

Wait until the people on the city wall react.

That group of people had already been divided up by Long Xiaojun, so there was no trace of them, only the reddened land, vultures flying in the sky to snatch food, and the sound of Long Xiaojun laughing.

After five days like this, the rebels have gotten used to the presence of Long Xiaojun.

If you didn't hear the shouting, you're not used to it, thinking that the siege has already begun.

That night, just after the ugly hour, there was a sudden sound of war drums at the south gate of Rongcheng, and the messengers ran quickly and shouted: enemy attack, enemy attack.

Outside the city gate, there were countless infantry regiments and heavy armored soldiers, who could not see their heads at a glance, and they were densely packed. Their torches were like a fire dragon, and they surrounded Rongcheng heavily.

Inside the city, Qiu Mu stroked his chin first, and asked in a deep voice, "General Jin, what do you think?"

Jin Qingshan said with burning eyes: "General, it's been so many days, everyone is really miserable, the general is willing to lead the troops out of the city, and fight them to the death."

In the past few days, he also went up the city wall, and the enemy's scolding was too harsh. If he hadn't been able to bear it, he would have killed him with a knife.

Qiu Muxian is not young anymore, he has been with King Chen all his life.

When I was young, I came to Jiangnan from the capital.

King Chen is just a fiefdom prince, and he does not allow too many soldiers and horses on the surface, but he has never been a law-abiding person.

Therefore, the secret recruiting and training of soldiers were all done by Qiu Mu first.

In the past, if he had guarded such a very stable city, Qiu Muxian would have been able to defend it even against the imperial court's millions of elite cavalry.

But now, under Gongsun Baili's hands, they have already suffered too many defeats, and they cannot bear defeat.

If this battle fails, it will make them desperate. King Chen's great career will come to an end here, and there will be no chance of a comeback in the future.

So, they have to win.

Because the enemy has traveled a long distance, so what if they rest for five days, is it better than them:

I waited for work with ease, the city was thick, the blade was sharp, and the reserves were sufficient. Could it be that these were not enough to win a victory?
Most importantly, this may be the last battle of his life.

Whether you succeed or fail, you have to face it anyway.

The blood in Qiu Muxian's veins gradually boiled up. If he wins, he can continue to support King Chen. Seeing his enthronement ceremony, he will have no regrets in this life.

If he loses, he has a clear conscience. Before he dies, he hopes to give King Chen a chance to breathe.

In this battle, let him fight for glory.

Qiu Muxian felt that he was 20 years younger in an instant, full of strength, and he was the passionate young man back then.

"Get your slings and logs and fire oil ready, all archers..."

His eyes were a little red, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. Finally, he stood up suddenly: "Everyone come out with me, and kill all these bastards."

This is the beginning of the war!
The battle signal was quickly transmitted to the entire Rongcheng, and the clanging of war drums resounded through the sky.

However, when the rebels came to the city wall and saw horses, armor, and swords and guns emitting cold light outside the city gate, some people trembled in fright.

Some rebels were so frightened that they sat on the top of the wall, their eyes stared straight, and they murmured: "We can't run away."

This Gongsun Baili is really angry, and he will not let anyone who hurt him go, what should I do, can I still escape?

The cold long wind is howling!

The city gate opened slowly, and then closed quickly.

A team led by Jin Qingshan rushed out.

Qiu Muxian stood on the tall tower, watching Jin Qingshan and his men, in the army of rolling horseshoes, like a small stone falling into the sea, without a sound and without bones.

Can't wait any longer, Qiu Mu gave an order first.

There was a creaking sound on the city wall. It was the sound of heavy crossbow bolts being opened, and everything was ready.

Qiu Muxian stood on the top of the city, wearing a battle armor, holding a knife in his hand, the sword is not old!
Looking at the dark crowd of enemies outside the city gate, he shouted: "Launch!"

Rumble!
Too far away to hit anyone.

The earth was shaking, and the soldiers shouted earth-shatteringly: "Kill!"

The drums of battle continued to sound.

Long Xiaojun launched its first full-scale attack on Rongcheng.

The horseshoes were like an earthquake, and the swords, guns and arrows radiated cold light.

The cold wind is like a knife, but the soldiers' blood is boiling.

"kill!"

The sound of roaring charges resounding through the sky suddenly came, and the drummers of the Long Xiao Army sounded the sound of battle.

The heavy armor is in front, the cavalry regiments follow, and the infantry is distributed on both sides.

Archers rushed forward under the guard of armored soldiers, ready to attack at any time.

Compared with Long Xiao's roar and blood boiling, Rongcheng's head was a different world.

The trebuchet didn't hit anyone just now, and the soldiers who operated it instantly became nervous, afraid of being punished.

Qiu Mu wasn't angry at first, it's normal to make mistakes, after all such a long distance, he just told them coldly: "Go on."

The operation of the trebuchet is not so fast. It needs a process of transporting stones, loading stones, and launching.

Qi Sheng watched the movement on the city wall, suddenly held a sharp arrow, slowly opened the crossbow, squinted one eye, the bow was like a full moon, and suddenly let go of his hand and shot!
Hearing the sound of "嗖", the person on the city wall was shot immediately. The bow and arrow were extremely powerful, and he took a few steps back before stopping.

The rebels were stunned for a moment, startled by Qi Sheng's move.

Qiu Muxian: "Quick, then launch."

"Get ready!" Qi Sheng shouted coldly and raised his hand: "Shoot!"

In the middle of the air, the dense rain of arrows was like locusts, sweeping over the sky and covering the earth at an astonishingly fast speed.

People who were too late to get down were shot, screaming, blood stained the city wall, and the eyes were dazzling bright red.

However, the rain of arrows and stones on the city wall also struck instantly.

The heavy armored cavalry and shield soldiers of the Long Xiao Army had rushed forward to guard, and the rain of arrows roared from overhead.

Unfortunately, the stone hit Long Xiaojun.

Some people turned into meat sauce in an instant, and some were lucky enough to only have their limbs injured by the aftermath of the stone.

Qiu Muxian waved his hands again and again, and Du Zhan said, "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot these bastards to death!"

"General! General!"

The messenger hurried forward and shouted: "General, look quickly."

Qiu Mu hurriedly looked outside the city.

I saw a row of trebuchets that were nearly four meters high had been pushed over, and that stand was much taller than theirs.

This is not an ordinary trebuchet, it is improved, with more advanced technology, and all the stones are even bigger. Once launched, the throwing distance is more than double that of a normal trebuchet.

A Long Xiaojun held a dagger in his hand, and when he heard the order to go up the mountain, he suddenly shouted and slashed on the rope.

The sound of the machine spring starting suddenly sounded, and the trebuchet turned suddenly and flew out.

Just when everyone was stunned, a huge stone suddenly flew up from under the city and rushed towards the city.

The speed was astonishingly fast, and then with a bang, it slammed into the city wall fiercely, and a big hole was smashed into the city wall in an instant.

Immediately, screams resounded through the sky, and the person who was hit had turned into a pool of blood.

The stone continued to roll, hitting other people.

There were terrifying screams on the city wall.

From this moment on, their real nightmare came. All the trebuchets were launched at the same time, and stones fell from the sky all over the sky.

I don't know when it's dawn.

However, even the rising sun could not illuminate this purgatory on earth filled with rain of red blood.

"Go on, oil your bows! Burn them."

A rebel general ordered loudly.

However, before he could see the flaming bow and arrow being fired, a sharp arrow pierced through his head with a "swish", blood flowed, and he suddenly fell to the ground, never having a chance to stand up again.

It was terrible, the city wall was full of corpses, as if the whole wall was about to collapse in the next moment.

The rebels began to feel timid, they wanted to live, they wanted to go home, and their parents, wives and children were waiting for them to go back.

"Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!"

After killing a soldier who rushed down the wall, the other rebels dared not retreat.

On the street, there are rebels rushing to support the city wall, while the people of Rongcheng keep their doors and windows tightly closed, for fear that if they are not careful, they will become dead souls under the sword.

Under the cover of trebuchets and archers, Long Xiaojun's Long Xiaojun quickly approached the moat on a flying bridge.

Qiu Mu first stood on the high tower: "Archers get ready!"

The rebels fired dense arrows at Long Xiaojun.

Their arrows hit Long Xiaojun's armor and shield fiercely.

Unfortunately, one Long Xiaojun was killed by an arrow, and another Long Xiaojun was immediately on top.

They were so fast that they were able to reach the moat with five flying bridges during the rotation gap filled with arrows.

Nearly a hundred people were killed or injured by Long Xiaojun.

However, in exchange for the opportunity to attack the city wall, death is worth it. We are heroes, and I also have a share in the general's achievements.

"Go up the ladder!" Qi Sheng ordered, and the ladder rushed up the flying bridge.

The trebuchet on the city wall can only be thrown into the distance, and it has no effect on the ladder under the skin.

Moreover, most of their catapults have been destroyed.

The archers of the rebel army rotated batch after batch, shooting down the city wall like locusts, but the number of opponents was too many. When a soldier fell, new soldiers would immediately grab the ladder, like a villain. Wolves generally pounce upwards.

At the same time, Long Xiaojun's long-range trebuchets were not idle, and the terrifying boulder was still approaching rapidly.

The stone slammed on the city wall, and the archers couldn't dodge, and were knocked to the ground severely, causing countless casualties.

There is no place to stand on Nuo Da's city wall, and there are casualties everywhere.

Qiu Mu had no choice but to order the corpse to be removed first.

"The general is bad! It's kerosene!" A soldier shouted heart-piercingly, with despair in his voice. He wanted to run, but it was too late.

I saw that the boulder turned into a huge ball of fire. This is a stone that has been doused with kerosene, rushing towards the city wall with raging fire.

Some rebels watched helplessly as the fire group smashed their accomplices to death, and then watched them burnt to charred by the fire.

The city wall is still standing after being hit many times, which shows how much painstaking effort, manpower, material and financial resources were spent on the construction of this city.

Qiu Muxian's angry eyes were already burning, and he swung his knife out: "Keep shooting!"
