Teacher is too tough

Wu Zhong didn't need to seize heads and gain military glory. He stayed on horseback behind the army and waited for the dust to settle before entering the city calmly.

There were still [-] troops standing solemnly behind him. These were his direct troops. They originally wanted to follow the large army towards the city gate, but he stopped them.

Even in this inevitable victory situation, he still had a hand in reserve just in case. Although the possibility was unlikely, if something happened, these 2 men would be ready to take action.

Just in time to wait for victory, he suddenly discovered that there was chaos in the army in front. He reacted immediately and sent his close associates to check the situation. After a lot of effort, he realized that the captured city gate had been lost again.

To be precise, the city gate may not have been captured at all. The comrades we saw earlier wearing our own armor and fighting bloody battles with the enemy seemed to be the disguise of the rebels. The fierce battle between the two sides was just a play put on by the other side!

Upon hearing the news, Wu Zhong's heart sank and his eyes narrowed habitually. If this was true, then was it the other side's deliberate attempt to let his own soldiers attack the city?

Obviously, this is done to make them mistakenly think that the city gate has been breached, and then they will launch a charge like this!

But why did the army close the city gate just as they rushed to the city gate?
Wu Zhong could understand if he let some troops in and then closed the door, it would be nothing more than luring him into an urn, but what was the purpose of doing this now?
Just to make fun of yourself and show humiliation?

Wu Zhong didn't quite understand, but he didn't take such humiliation to heart at all, and ordered the mobilization of manpower to maintain order and allow the army to withdraw in an orderly manner.

No matter what the other party is planning, as long as there is no chaos on our side, even if there is an unexpected ambush by these rebels, they can only stage a farce like a clown.

However, before the troops sent to maintain order had taken a few steps, there was suddenly a dull and loud bang.

The ground seemed to shake.

After the soldiers were stunned for a short time, they began to look around to find out what was going on. Wu Zhong winked at his cronies, and the cronies led his soldiers to run forward.

When the loud noise rang out just now, Wu Zhong quickly located the source of the sound, which was the tunnel filled in by them. At this time, the place was filled with smoke and dust, and it was difficult to see what was happening.

The trusted general quickly turned back, with a solemn expression and a hint of panic: "General, it's not good, the tunnel we filled has sunk again for some reason, and our people can no longer withdraw!"

Wu Zhong frowned and quickly ordered: "Send the order and ask the soldiers trapped inside to form a defensive formation! You and your people will refill the tunnel!"

After saying that, he clamped his horse's belly and went to the tunnel to check the situation in person.

He moved very quickly, and when he came closer, the smoke and dust had not yet dispersed. He saw that the place they had filled had indeed sunk, and it had sunk quite a bit. It was almost the same as before, with a depth of about three feet!
Wu Zhong immediately understood that the bottom of this tunnel must have been tampered with, and it was disguised as wooden boards. The bottom of the wooden boards had also been hollowed out and propped up with wooden stakes and other objects. After they filled in the tunnel, someone below used something unknown. The method was to remove the support, or simply destroy it, so we have the current result.

Careless!I didn't think of checking whether there is any mystery in this tunnel before...

But who would have thought to check the bottom of the pit?In this situation, the hole needs to be filled anyway, so no one would check the bottom of the hole, right?

Why did the other party do this?
Even if the escape route is cut off, what's the use?Do those rebels really dare to fight their way out of the city?

Wu Zhong saw that the soldiers on the other side of the tunnel had raised their shields in panic and were retreating towards the tunnel, and suddenly he had a bad feeling.

He didn't know where this premonition came from, but he suddenly remembered something and secretly cursed himself for being stupid. He wanted to refill the tunnel. He would definitely not be able to do it for a while. He chose to fill the tunnel before to facilitate the charge of the army. Now he just wanted to get out of trouble. Why bother with such a thing?

He ordered in a deep voice: "Tell the soldiers on the opposite side to use the ladder to withdraw!"

The ladder used to siege the city is very long, but this tunnel is wider, and there is no way to build it from one side to the other, so there are only two options, use the ladder to climb to the bottom of the pit and then climb back up, or connect two ladders to the tunnel. Let's build a bridge together on the tunnel.It's a pity that the rebels didn't give them a chance to retreat calmly. Wu Zhong's expression suddenly changed. The situation he least expected to see finally happened!
He watched helplessly as dozens of boulders suddenly flew out from the top of the city, carrying endless power and crashing down on the crowd.

Those are real boulders. A quick glance shows that each piece weighs hundreds of kilograms!
These rebels actually made a trebuchet!
The next moment, the rumble of boulders falling to the ground and the shrill howl could be heard for an instant.

Without anyone's orders, the soldiers began to scatter in all directions, driven by their survival instinct. However, the first round of intensive attacks had already caused the loss of more than half of the elite troops of the imperial court!

The rebels at the top of the city seemed to have calculated all the possible scenarios and had done countless drills. The second round of boulders flew in immediately, divided into different directions, and hit the fleeing crowd with great precision.

They also finally understood why the rebels were so stingy that they did not fire any arrows and kept the arrows until now. In such a chaotic situation, the arrows can obviously exert greater power.

The arrows hit with the boulders.

Finally, someone picked up the ladder and put it on the tunnel, and ran away on the ladder. However, before a few people could escape, the ladder was accurately hit by a boulder, and the people on it were directly thrown to the bottom of the pit and turned into pulp.

Those who set up a ladder on the edge of the pit, climbed down the ladder to the bottom of the pit, and then climbed up from the other side were shot by random arrows one by one, and only one out of ten could successfully escape.

Wu Zhong's face has never looked so ugly as it does today, because he has never encountered such a setback in his life.

He could do nothing but let the crossbowmen shoot arrows at the top of the city to suppress it. The soldiers inside couldn't escape, and they couldn't rush in. Moreover, even if they could rush in, it would only kill more people.

He didn't know how the catapult built by the opponent could throw hundreds of pounds of boulders, and how it could be thrown so accurately. He didn't have time to think about it at this time. He shouted loudly: "Why don't you throw it under the city wall?" hide!"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

At this time, under the city wall is the safest place.

They have shields in their hands, and they are not afraid of arrows rolling with oil. What they are afraid of is the huge stone weighing hundreds of kilograms. If the opponent wants to smash such a huge stone under the wall, several people must work together to lift the stone to the city wall first, and then Push down from above.

As long as you pay attention, you can avoid the clues in advance.

They began to scramble to turn around and rush down the city wall.

More and more people gathered under the wall.

Sure enough, the rebels did not bother to throw the huge rocks down, and the soldiers who escaped death breathed a sigh of relief. The opponent's defense supplies had been exhausted before, and now there is indeed no safer place than under the wall.

However... countless boiling oil suddenly poured down from the top of the head as if it were free of charge, followed closely by torches!

The city wall instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

In the past, when encountering this kind of situation, all they had to do was retreat, so they subconsciously retreated as they had done before, and then... they entered the range of the trebuchet again, and the boulders began to fall again!
There is nowhere to hide.

Wu Zhong clenched his fists tightly. These rebels had run out of supplies to defend the city, but they were actually acting!
Just when his anger was getting stronger and stronger but he had nowhere to vent, there was a neat and heavy sound of treading on the ground from both sides. Wu Zhong squinted and raised his eyebrows. These rebels actually took the initiative to attack!
On the left, Ma Shoucai led [-] soldiers to arrive in order.

On the right side, there are no more or less 2 troops. The leader is Xue Chaogui, who had served as Li Qingshi's corps commander and was also the only person who had served as Li Qingshi's corps commander. (End of chapter)
