Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 85 Storming Gaizhou

Gaizhou City, which is the only way to enter the Central Plains from Tianhu's territory, is also facing the threat of the imperial army.Tian Hu has heavy troops stationed here, as well as a large amount of ordnance and food.Tian Hu attacked Puzhou and took away many soldiers and horses, but there were still 5000 people left here.

The quality of soldiers and horses here is much better than that of Zhaode and Jinning, and they are considered to be the best troops under Tian Hu.Of course, this excellence is relatively speaking. For Liangshan, the army here is simply rubbish.Soldiers at the bottom level still practice training occasionally, but at the top level, some of those officers don't come to the army for a year or so, and some don't even know how many soldiers they have under their command.

At this moment, the guard of Gaizhou City is called Fang Qiong, and there are two lieutenants, one named Chu Heng and the other named Yu Yulin.

These three people, together with An Shirong who was killed by Wu Dong in the tavern, are all four mighty generals under Niu Wenzhong.Niu Wenzhong was Tian Hu's number one military master, but unfortunately he also died in that nameless tavern.For a military master, such a death is undoubtedly the most tragic.

In the government office, Fang Qiong called Chu Heng and Yu Yulin over, both of them looked unhappy.Chu Heng was listening to an opera at home, and Yu Yulin was playing with a beauty, so he was naturally unhappy when he was called.

"General Fang, what happened? I heard that you closed all the city gates. What's wrong?" Chu Heng asked lazily.

"The big thing is not good. I just got the news that Wei Sheng and Zhao De have been conquered." Fang Qiong said.

"What?" Chu Heng and Yu Yulin were both taken aback, looking in disbelief.

"I have already sent someone to notify the king, and hope that the king can return as soon as possible." Fang Qiong said.

"Should we send troops to assist Wei Sheng and Zhao De?" Chu Heng asked hastily.

"No need. Gaizhou City is extremely important. If we leave, what will we do if someone attacks Gaizhou City?" Fang Qiong said.

Fang Qiong is not mediocre either, he knows the importance of Gaizhou City, and he must never give up here.Even Weisheng City, although established as the "capital city" by Tian Hu, is far less important than Gaizhou City.Weisheng City can be lost, but Gaizhou City must not be lost.

"General Fang, who is it that conquered Weisheng City? Could it be that the officers and soldiers failed?" Yu Yulin asked at this time.

"It's not the official army... The person who reported it said it was a rogue." Fang Qiong said.

"Rogue bandits? Could it be a group of Song Jiang from Shaohua Mountain?" Yu Yulin frowned.

"It shouldn't be. Song Jiang and others are still trapped on Mount Hua, how could they come to Hedong?" Fang Qiong said.

In this era, news spread very slowly. Although Wu Dong had defeated the imperial army and rescued Song Jiang and others from the mountain, Tian Hu and his group across the Yellow River still didn't know the news.Fang Qiong still thought that Song Jiang was on the mountain, so he denied this statement first.

"Say, can your majesty take back Weisheng City?" Chu Heng said.

"This... It is said that the number of bandits is not very large, there are only a thousand or so, and the king has an army of [-]. It is easy to take back Weisheng City." Zhang Qiong said.

"I hope... Your Majesty is really true. When you left Wesheng City, you didn't leave a single soldier behind. Otherwise, how could it be easily taken by others? I heard that all the beauties of Your Majesty are in the palace of Wesheng City." Inside, I don’t know if it was taken over by those grassroots bandits.” Having said this, Chu Heng laughed out loud.

They are all Tian Hu's subordinates, but Tian Hu's prestige has been getting lower and lower over the years. They are still afraid in front of Tian Hu, but now they are all their own people, so they just joke around.

Fang Qiong and Yu Yulin couldn't help laughing lasciviously when they thought of the stunning beauty of those women in Tianhu's palace.

At this moment, suddenly a small soldier broke open the two gates, looking anxious, panting and unable to speak.

"What happened? Why are you so panicked?" Fang Qiong frowned.

"General... something big... something bad... someone is attacking the city!" the soldier gasped.

"What?" Fang Qiong and the three were taken aback. The three immediately stood up and walked out the door, only to hear the shouts of killing outside.

"Go, hurry up and have a look on the city wall!" Fang Qiong said anxiously.

The shouts of killing they heard seemed to come from the west, so they all headed towards the west wall, but after walking for a while, they found that there were also shouts of killing from the east, south, and north.

"What's going on? Where is the enemy attacking the city?" Fang Qiong stopped immediately, grabbed the soldier, and asked.

"General Qi, there are enemies on all sides." Xiaobing said.

"What? How many enemies are there?" Fang Qiong said.

"I don't know... I'm in a hurry to report to the general, so as soon as someone attacks the city, I'll come right away." Xiao Bing said anxiously.

"Let's go, let's go to the west wall first." Fang Qiong thought for a while and said.

When Fang Qiong and the others came to the west wall, they saw that someone had already climbed up the wall. The three of them did not dare to neglect, and immediately took their weapons and slashed at the enemy on the wall.After a while, the enemy was finally driven off the city wall, and the three of Fang Qiong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Quickly, go and move the rolling stones and the eucalyptus... Also, burn the oil pan and pour hot oil on it later." Fang Qiong ordered hastily.

As the frontier city of Tianhu's territory, Gaizhou City naturally has a large number of defensive facilities.For example, there are a lot of rolling stones, lumber, etc., but because there is no one to direct them, the soldiers on the city wall have forgotten about it. Immediately, someone went to the warehouse to move those rolling stones and lumber. Take the oil pan.

Fang Qiong turned around and said, "Brothers, go to the east and north walls respectively to supervise the battle. You must not let the enemy charge up. I think these enemies are the ones who occupied Wesheng City."

Chu Heng was taken aback, and said: "Where are they from? Why did they just occupy Weisheng City, and they are going to capture our Gaizhou City so soon?"

Fang Qiong said anxiously: "You go to defend the city first. We will talk about this matter after we defend it."

At this moment, countless rolling stones and wood were thrown down from the city wall, and countless oil pans were set up, and hot oil was continuously poured down.

In a short time, countless soldiers in Liangshanbo were smashed to death by the rolling stones and trees, and some were seriously injured and dying from the hot oil poured on them.

But at this time, none of them backed up. They were still rushing up with their simple shields on their hands. Fang Qiong on the top stared at her with unbelievable eyes.How can ordinary rogues be so powerful?Even the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were not so brave.

The officers and soldiers of the Qin and Han dynasties recorded in the history were so powerful, but it is not Qin and Han now, is it?

Standing in the distance, Hu Sanniang saw the scene here, and hurriedly ordered to retreat, and the Liangshan soldiers left quickly.A layer of corpses was left on the ground, and Fang Qiong and others in Gaizhou City breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Qiong wiped his sweat while thinking about the origin of the enemy.Although the number of enemies is not as many as the guards in Gaizhou City, they are all extremely fierce, and they are not afraid of death. I really don't know where such fierce enemies come from.

"There were such powerful bandits in the Song Dynasty? If there was no city wall, the 5000 people in Gaizhou City would not be a match for their thousands of people. Fortunately, it is okay, there is a city wall." Fang Qiong thought with lingering fear road.

"It seems that there are the most enemies attacking the west wall, relatively few enemies on the south and north, and the least on the east side." Fang Qiong quickly discovered the law of the Liangshan army's attack, and immediately laughed loudly, saying: "The son of the east wall Half of them will be withdrawn, and they will all be transferred to the west city wall. No... only 1000 people will be left on the east city wall, and the rest will be evacuated to the west city wall."

So most of the defenders on the east wall withdrew to the west wall.

After that, the Liangshan army attacked several times regardless of the casualties. All of them were mainly attacked on the west wall, and the least number of people attacked on the east.

The defenders of Gaizhou City were already exhausted. They had seldom fought in these years, and all of them were old soldiers. When it was late at night, they couldn't help falling asleep against the city wall.

In the middle of the night, suddenly there was another loud cry of killing outside, Fang Qiong hurriedly called up the soldiers on the city wall and told them to defend the city quickly.

At this time, the west city wall still encountered the most attacks, and the west city wall was in chaos, but it recovered quickly and blocked Liangshan's attack.

"With such a high city wall, unless you are gods, you can't climb it?" Fang Qiong yawned and said secretly.

Outside the city wall, Hu Sanniang stood there quietly, thinking, "It's time."

While she was watching, the Liangshan soldiers who attacked the west city wall began to retreat continuously, leaving only a few hundred people there.These hundreds of people shouted again and again, and on the surface it was still shouting and killing, but the actual attack power had been greatly weakened.

It was dark outside, and it was impossible to see the situation outside clearly. Fang Qiong just thought it was the same as before, and didn't take precautions.

The same is true of the city walls on the south and north sides, the shouts of killing have not diminished, but the soldiers of Liangshan are constantly retreating.

More than half of the thousands of Liangshan soldiers and horses are concentrated in the direction of the east city wall at this moment. They are carrying simple ladders and various temporary siege weapons, just waiting for the final order.

Yang Xiong looked at the tall city wall ahead, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "Come on!"

There was almost no sound of shouting and killing, but they were quickly discovered.It was dark, and the enemy outside could not be seen, and the defenders on the east wall thought there were still as many people as before.Immediately, someone resisted, and many rolling stones fell towards the bottom.

Yang Xiong climbed up the ladder, a huge stone fell towards his head, Yang Xiong roared, swung the big knife in his hand, picked the stone aside, and continued to move forward.

This time Shi Xiu also started to join the battle. Shi Xiu held an iron spear in his hand, and his speed was a bit faster than Yang Xiong's. There were fewer rolling stones on his side, and after a while, he rushed to the city wall, and immediately there were many defenders. Charged forward, the iron spear in Shi Xiu's hand was used as an iron rod, sweeping continuously, sweeping a large area.

His martial arts skills are extremely high, and after a while, Yang Xiong also rushed to the city wall, and the big knife in Yang Xiong's hand was also sweeping continuously. A large open space had appeared on the city wall. There are more and more Liangshan soldiers.

Gaizhou guard Chu Heng was originally at the south gate, but he had a nephew who was an official at the east gate, so he came here to talk to his nephew.

Hearing the shouts of killing outside, Chu Heng laughed and said, "I don't know who these people are? Why are they so stupid? How could they break in with such a high city wall?"

Chu Heng has seen it today, and the enemy has a total of five to six thousand people, and it is as difficult as heaven to break through Gaizhou City.So he is very at ease now.

"Uncle, let's have a drink. My east gate has the least number of enemies, and it's the safest." His nephew said with a smile.

"Okay!" Chu Heng couldn't help laughing.

The two were drinking and eating roasted mutton. After an unknown amount of time, suddenly there were many footsteps outside.

Chu Heng frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked open, and countless spears stabbed inside. Chu Heng was taken aback, but he was a little dizzy after drinking, and before he stood up, the many spears pierced his face , body, tied him like a hedgehog, and his nephew followed him in a pool of blood.
