Datang New Order

Ke Dan looked at the newly closed door of Yuguan, and cursed: "Damn it!"

Wuli asked strangely: "But Uncle Dan, what's the matter?"

Ke Dan gritted his teeth and said, "The door is closed and sealed."

Wuli didn't understand, and asked again: "Didn't they keep building and closing the door these days? We all know it. Is there any problem?"

Ke Dan explained: "The problem is that it was too fast. A few days ago, they just built the brackets, but after one night, the door was closed and sealed. It shows that they were just pretending a few days ago, trying to make me think they are not afraid."

Wu Li said: "But Uncle Dan is saying that they have a guilty conscience?"

But Dan bitterly said: "That's right! It seems that there are not many people in Yuguan. If I had known, I should have led someone to rush into their formation that day...Damn it..."

But Wuli didn't have so many regrets. Hearing that there were few soldiers in Yuguan, he couldn't help being a little excited: "Then let's attack the city!"

Ke Dan nodded and gestured behind him. A cavalry team got off their horses and divided into two teams of ten men each. One team came to the foot of the hill where the fortress was located, and the other team came to the front of the rejection horse at the foot of Guancheng.The two teams held bows and arrows. After entering the position, they took off the quiver from behind, took out the feather arrows in the quiver one by one, and inserted them into the ground under their feet.

Li Chengzhong leaned on the crenel on the wall and looked down carefully, sizing up the Khitans who were besieging the city.After careful counting, there were more than 730 Khitans who attacked Yuguan. According to the equipment and horse distribution, more than 340 of them were main soldiers, and the rest were auxiliary soldiers.

"What is this for?" Li Chengzhong asked Zhang Xingzhong beside him.

Zhang Xing took a deep breath and said, "It seems...it seems that the city is about to attack. This is the Khitan archer preparing."

"This is about to attack the city? There is no cloud chariot ... no gate-rushing chariot ... no archery tower ... nothing ..." Li Chengzhong was speechless, looking at the five wooden frames lying at the feet of the auxiliary soldiers behind the Khitan formation. Ladder: "Does it depend on those wooden ladders?"

Zhang Xing nodded emphatically: "It seems... that's really the case..."

Li Chengzhong couldn't believe it. When he saw a few passages flashing out of the Khitan army formation, and those auxiliary soldiers came to the outside of Juma carrying wooden ladders, he was really sure that the opponent was really going to attack the city, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. : "It seems that the previous worries are really unnecessary."

Since yesterday evening, a Khitan barracks was re-established outside the pass, and Yuguan has stepped up preparations for defending the city.Due to time constraints and limited conditions, the original defense equipment in Yuguan was burned by the Khitan people, so Li Chengzhong had no way to make fire oil tanks, racket sticks and other things, so he had to order people to set up fire stoves on the towers and burn them to the ground. Put a few large pots of boiling water on it, and prepare to pour it down with boiling water in case of emergency.In addition, some stones are piled up on the wall, which can also have the effect of smashing people.From last night to this morning, the scene of Lu Long's army attacking Weizhou was always flashing in his mind. If those huge siege equipment were used to attack Yuguan, Li Chengzhong would really be helpless given the current conditions of Yuguan.

However, since there were only a few wooden ladders, Li Chengzhong felt relieved.But what happened next surprised Li Chengzhong.It is true that the Khitan people are nomads, and it is also true that they do not have large siege equipment, but if you say that you can rest assured, it is completely taken for granted.In fact, the secret of the Khitan's siege is very simple, that is, to rely on precise archers to carry out long-range suppression to ensure that the manpower can be projected to the top of the city.It was such a simple method, but the Pingzhou Army in Yuguan City suffered a lot.

The place where the horses were shut down was marked by Li Chengzhong as areas [-], [-], and [-]. When the Khitans began to move the horses, Meng Xuxing and Jiao Chengqiao in the fortress divided into two groups according to the previous drill and began to cover and shoot. .

Meng Xuxing commanded the first group. He loudly ordered the ten archers under him to put their arrows on the string, and then shouted: "Eight!" The ten archers showed their heads at the same time and shot towards the No. [-] area.Ten feathered arrows covered the No. [-] area, seven of them were shot in the open space, and three of them were shot at the Khitan auxiliary soldiers who were moving the Juma. Two of them did not hurt anyone because of the angle and force. Only one shot landed in the arm of an auxiliary soldier.The auxiliary soldier yelled and retreated, clutching his arms. …,

The first round of feather arrows could knock down one, and Li Chengzhong was quite satisfied with the effect, but what worried him was that the first group of archers on the fort also suffered losses.At the moment when they shot arrows out of their heads, the group of Khitan archers under the fortress also released feathered arrows from the bowstring.These feathered arrows are not only powerful, but also extremely accurate. Two of them scattered the bridles of the archers of the Pingzhou Army in the fortress, and the two archers screamed in fright, thinking that they had been hit by an arrow, and they were dumbfounded. He stayed where he was, with a pale face, and was dragged to the ground by his companions, only to avoid being a living target for the next round of arrows from the Khitans.Three more arrows brushed past the ears of the two archers, only inches away from hitting.The other two arrows were shot in the chest of an archer of the Pingzhou Army, and the man was shot down on the spot, and his life and death were unknown!

This kind of accuracy was astonishing, Li Chengzhong's lips were a little dry, and he couldn't help swallowing.In fact, only six of the ten Khitan archers fired their arrows, and the other four didn't shoot their bows because they didn't find a good opportunity because of the angle.They moved a few steps to the side, then continued to stand calmly, looking up at the fortress, ready for the next round of shooting.

Li Chengzhong hurriedly called Wang Dalang over, ordered him to go to the fortress, and ordered Meng Xuxing and Jiao Chengqiao to change their plan and no longer cover the area according to the previous rehearsal method, but to shoot against those Khitan archers, even if they could not To win, one must interfere with the accuracy of the Khitan archers at all costs.

For his new recruits, Li Chengzhong didn't have too high expectations. He believed that with the abilities shown by the Khitan archers, it would be an extravagant hope to successfully suppress the opponent in archery, so he simply ordered the defenders on the pass to retreat a little. In the last step, avoid the Khitan's long-range attack.In other words, he decided to put the Khitans on the pass to fight. According to the previous deployment and rehearsal, the spearmen resisted the opponent's soldiers who ascended the city, and the sword and shield soldiers made up for the loopholes in defense.

By the time Wang Dalang conveyed Li Chengzhong's order to the fortress, Meng Xuxing and Jiao Chengqiao had commanded their men to shoot three rounds at the seventh, eighth, and ninth areas. He himself injured three.Therefore, Meng Xuxing and Jiao Chengqiao changed their attack targets according to Li Chengzhong's order, and started shooting against the Khitan archer.Because of the need to avoid the arrows shot down from the fortress, the Khitan archer's accuracy was also compromised, and it was no longer as accurate as before.

Another pair of Khitan archers under Guancheng hadn't fired an arrow yet, they were staring at Guancheng, looking for their target.The Khitan's long-range suppression tactics worked, and the auxiliary soldiers quickly cleared all the refusal horses under the pass, and carried wooden ladders to the pass wall.A group of Khitan soldiers quickly drove down the wooden ladders, one person climbed each wooden ladder.

Li Chengzhong joined the first team of spearmen led by Zhang Xingzhong on the Guancheng, in groups of two, holding wooden guns and staring at the crenel.He himself retreated to the city gate tower, where the burnt remnants had been cleared away, leaving a small open space, where he and Zhou Chopper waited with thirty sword and shield fighters.In the school field under Guancheng, Jiang Miao led another team of spearmen and the reserve team were resting.

The Khitans built five wooden ladders on the wall, and five Khitan soldiers climbed up with sharp knives in their mouths and quickly reached the top of the wooden ladders.This position is on the same level as the closing wall, at the low wall of the two crenels.The Khitan soldier paused at the top of the wooden ladder, changed the saber in his mouth to his hand, then exerted force with his feet, and jumped in directly.

Liu Jinhou is a Han refugee from outside the customs. He grew up by the Bailang River. The Khitan people came here a month ago. He could only leave the field that he had cultivated for decades with his elderly father and gentle wife. , fled to Pingzhou, and enlisted into the Pingzhou Army.The reason why he chose to be a soldier was not only that the Pingzhou Army could get three rations to feed his father and wife, but also the hatred for the Khitan people and his reluctance for his family's field.Although Pingzhou Governor's Mansion awarded fifty acres of wasteland under Jieshi Mountain, Bailangshui, where his father and he had lived for decades, still often appeared in his dreams, and he often dreamed back at midnight. …,

What Li Dutou said that day was quite right, escaped from Yuguan, where else could he escape?Instead of continuing to escape, it is better to fight for one's life here. Maybe, as Li Dutou said, he can fight back outside the pass and regain his homeland?Therefore, in these two days of training, Liu Jinhou worked very hard, and his efforts were also recognized by the team leader Zhong Silang, who made him the commander.

Liu Jinhou stared at the low wall between the two crenels and held his breath. He saw a black figure flashing out, so fast and fierce that he was so nervous that he almost cried out, but these two days of repeated training made him The shouting was swallowed back, until all the figures came out and jumped in...

"Kill!" Liu Jinhou yelled loudly, stabbing his chest with the wooden spear in his hand.Because it was the first actual battle, the point of the spear he stabbed was not very accurate. On the contrary, it deviated slightly upwards and stabbed the Khitan man's right shoulder.

The Khitan did not raise a shield as guessed in the previous training, but only had a saber.But the Khitan reacted very quickly, and in an instant he raised his saber to block upwards and knocked out Liu Jinhou's wooden spear.He was about to swung his knife down to kill Liu Jinhou, who had opened the door wide open in front of him, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his thigh, he couldn't stand upright, and fell forward.

Liu Jinhou's companion was standing on one side of the crenel. The Khitan people were attracted by Liu Jinhou who was facing him, so they didn't notice the wooden spear he stabbed.When Liu Jinhou and his companions saw the Khitan man lying at their feet, they swung the wooden spears in their hands as wooden sticks in a panic, and smashed them down.A few sticks hit the Khitan man on the back of the head, and the Khitan man fainted instantly.Seeing that the Khitan people were still, Liu Jinhou came to his senses, and quickly turned his gun, giving the Khitan people a heart-stopping blow.Liu Jinhou, who had killed the Khitan man, and his companion looked at each other, they were panting heavily, and the palms of their guns were soaked.

Wu Li watched the five warriors in his tribe quickly climb up the wooden ladder, and then jumped into the city with their knives in hand, feeling excited.But then, he only vaguely heard some shouts, and there was no movement on the top of the city, so he pulled La Kedan's sleeves and asked, "Uncle Kedan, why did five people go in..."

Ke Dan frowned, and stared at the city with wide eyes, but the city was quiet, and there seemed to be no reaction at all. Could it be that all five people were killed in an instant?Impossible, those are the five elite warriors of the product department, no matter what, they won't be able to make waves!Seeing the archers under Guancheng who were waiting to shoot at any time, they also looked at each other, as if they didn't know what happened on the top of the city, but Dan simply gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and the Khitan soldiers waiting under Guancheng immediately continued to climb up. up the wooden ladder.This time, the first climber had just reached the top of the wooden ladder, and the second climbed up the ladder.Two people on a wooden ladder at the same time, this is already the maximum capacity of the ladder, if one more person is put on, the wooden ladder will not be able to support it.
