Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 701 Difficulty defending the city
After the Liao army retreated, there was no movement for most of the day.The point is that the morale of the army is a little loose at the moment, and the chief general of the Liao army does not dare to press too hard at the moment. If these people really quit and run away secretly, what is the use of the remaining generals?

So after waiting for all the soldiers to finish their meal, the master gathered them together for a comforting meal.He also promised that as long as Luzhou City is captured, they will be allowed to plunder at will, and all the property they get will belong to the individual.

One of them has no choice but to be a soldier and fight, and the other is not for promotion and fortune?Now that the chief general has said such words, some ambitious people are naturally very happy, gearing up, waiting for the army to enter the city and make a fortune.

However, some people don't think so.Luzhou City is obviously not that easy to break through. They have spent so much effort, and they haven't even touched the edge of the city wall. How could they easily break into the city?Those who go to the city to plunder and make a fortune are nothing more than empty promises, just drawing cakes to satisfy their hunger.

Therefore, many people were secretly muttering in their hearts, waiting for another attack, and they had a little idea in mind.In case the situation is not good, it is better to find an opportunity to slip away.If the siege is not done well, you will die. If you sneak away, there may be a way to survive.Now the world is in chaos, as long as you leave this place, you can make a living wherever you seek refuge.

It should be said that the Daliao court is already unpopular.Not only are there rebels everywhere, but even among the Liao army, people's hearts are also fluctuating. No one is willing to work for the court sincerely.Except for those Liao people who must persist for their own interests, the rest of the people have some other thoughts.And once something happens, this kind of thinking will definitely work.

The general of the Liao army exhausted his words and promised a lot, and then let everyone rest at ease until the early morning of the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the general of the Liao army gave an order, and the army began to attack the city.After nearly a day of rest, the soldiers of the Liao Army have recovered their physical strength. At this moment, nearly 2 people rushed forward and quickly approached Luzhou City.

The guards in Luzhou City have always been vigilant, and no one dares to relax.Especially in the second half of the night, everyone knew that this was a good opportunity for a sneak attack, so everyone on the city wall patrolled with wide-eyed eyes, and no sign of trouble would escape their eyes.

Sure enough, as soon as the Liao army moved, the guards in Luzhou City discovered it, so they immediately ordered someone to warn.The soldiers who were resting under the city rushed to the top of the city in an instant, and then quickly entered a fighting state.

It was a rare sunny day tonight, and the moon on the [-]th was already very round. Under the moonlight, countless Liao soldiers were quickly approaching Luzhou City.However, these Liao soldiers really learned how to behave, and they still lined up, with a row of shield players in front and a row of archers in the back, rushing forward like this.

In this way, the artillery is definitely useless, the target is not focused, even if the artillery is fired, it is at most to scare people, but it does not have much lethality.General Xu made a decisive decision and ordered people to shoot arrows directly, "We must suppress them and prevent them from coming under the city wall."

Everyone naturally understood this truth, so they waited in full force. After seeing the Liao army below the city within the range of their bows and arrows, they saw thousands of arrows firing from the city, and shot towards the outside of the city.Of course, the Liao army did not give in vain, the shield hand covered, and the archers behind also shot arrows, and another round of competition began.

This time, the Liao army attacked fiercely. Although the soldiers defending the city fought hard, the artillery did not work and the crossbows were helpless. By dawn in the morning, the Liao army had already arrived at the city of Luzhou.

At this time, bows and arrows were obviously not very useful, so stones, rolling logs, and gray bottles began to be thrown down the city.The huge rolling log was pried and rolled down the city wall, and fell on the ladder, breaking the ladder. The Liao soldiers who climbed up the ladder were knocked down and fell to the ground, dying on the spot.

Although the giant wood is easy to use, after all, it is bulky, but it is not as dexterous as the gray bottle.This gray bottle is a kind of thin-walled bottle specially made, filled with lime and other things, if it is dropped, it will break when it falls on people.If the lime inside is spilled, it will dazzle the opponent's eyes and make the opponent temporarily lose their fighting power.

Of course, there is not only lime in the gray bottle in Luzhou City, but also the medicinal powder specially prepared by Qingyun's leader.As long as those powders get on the body, it will make people's whole body red and swollen, itching unbearably, that kind of feeling, life is worse than death.So, I saw everyone in the city throwing ash bottles down one after another, but the Liao soldiers under the city were miserable, and many people were blinded by the lime.At the same time, the lime powder floated to other places, and anyone who touched it would be unlucky.

Seeing this situation, the chief general of the Liao army was really going crazy. Why is Luzhou city so difficult to attack?In the past two days, they have lost so much troops that they still failed to capture Luzhou. This is simply too embarrassing.So the lord ordered that the soldiers are not allowed to stop, even if they are filled with people, Luzhou will be taken today.

The giant logs and gray bottles on the city were also limited and could not be used unlimitedly. Facing waves of attacks from the Liao army, the giant logs on the top of the city gradually ran out. "General, what should we do? We don't have anything usable." Some people couldn't help worrying.

General Xu looked up at the sky, the sun had already risen so high, it seemed that it was almost the end of the day.In the middle of the night on the twelfth day, Luzhou City sent people to ask for help. Today is already fifteen, and it is estimated that reinforcements are on the way. "Brothers, let's hold on for a while. The general has already received the news, and he must be leading people back. As long as we can hold on until the general returns, Luzhou City will be safe."

"Cheer up and fight with these people below. They have been attacking the city for two days in a row. Their consumption is greater than ours. Grit your teeth and hold on. Don't relax. Behind us is the family who is dedicated to protecting us. If we Now retreat, think about what kind of suffering our relatives will suffer after the Liao soldiers enter the city. Brothers, hold on."

General Xu didn't say anything too sensational, but these words touched people's hearts the most.Half of the defenders are young and strong people drawn from the city. These people have families and mouths. If the Liao army really invades, then Luzhou City will face a catastrophe.In order to maintain the stable life they have managed to live, and for the family behind them, they must also grit their teeth and hold on.

"Yes, for the sake of our family, we have fought against those people below. Even if we are exhausted today, we cannot let them break through Luzhou City." Everyone's eyes turned red and they shouted in unison.

The giant logs, gray bottles, and stones were all used up. At this moment, there was nothing to stop the people below from climbing up. The two sides soon fought hand to hand, and the most tragic battle began at this moment.
