King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 797 Reorganizing People’s Hearts (3)

Listening to Gao Lan's command, all the soldiers bowed their bows and set their arrows, staring at Liu He's army who had begun to approach, "Three hundred steps...two hundred steps...one hundred steps...let the arrow!" Gao Lan let out a roar, arrows rained down on the top of the city immediately, and Zhang Yan's army below, of course, had been prepared for a long time, and someone immediately shouted: "Raise the shield!"

One attack and one defense, everything is a normal offensive and defensive procedure, whoever wins and loses depends on who can hold on, but after the news of Li Lin's death spread all over the world, the scales of the entire big man have already turned to Liu He's side. Toppled, Gao Lan's loyalty to the Li family and the ruthlessness of the army under his command cannot be changed, but in any case, now, Gao Lan is with the guard and wants to defend the city...

"Quick! Throw that rock at me!"

"Quick! Hold the ladder down for me!"

Gao Lan roared crazily, but the command was still methodical.

"General! Look! The Jing Lan on the opposite side is rushing over!" A soldier shouted.

Gao Lan's eyes tightened, and he said viciously, "Jing Lan, I've been following you for a long time!"

Attacking Xingyang, of course, Zhang Yan was also under tremendous pressure, so he almost took out his family property. There were no less than a hundred fighters in Jinglan, but Xingyang, which has been fighting for almost two months, is now only There are only 20 or so left, but Jinglan is a sharp weapon for attacking the city. As long as Xingyang is broken and Yanzhou's door is wide open, Zhang Yan can't help but have reservations, and must attack Xingyang Gaolan with all his strength!

Gao Lan shouted: "Quick! Bring the incendiary bombs!" The soldiers met and ran down immediately. Gao Lan didn't follow his will to leave the city, but a siege weapon like Jinglan must be destroyed, but Li Lin had already There is already an excellent plan to deal with such things as well rails and siege vehicles, and that is to use incendiary bombs!But Xingyang has not been breached so far, and the incendiary bomb has played a huge role. Li Lin even consumes a lot of wine because he wants to make wine into a incendiary bomb, and wine needs grain to brew, and the Central Plains is raging. There was no surplus food, so Li Lin banned private wine making, gathered all the wine, and used it to make incendiary bombs.

Jinglan approached step by step, and it was already covered with archers. Seeing that he had reached the shooting range, he immediately released the arrow. Gao Lan hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Defend!" Someone immediately raised a shield, or blocked the shot with a wooden board arrows, and then these arrows will also be taken down and become the counter arrows of the archers on the top of the city, and the cycle repeats.

"General! Here it is!" A soldier ran to Gao Lan, holding a wooden box, filled with earthen jars, all of which had thin mouths and were tightly stuffed with linen.

"Okay..." Gao Lan turned his head for a while, and was about to applaud, but when he saw the wooden box, he immediately shouted: "Why are you ordering like that!"

The soldier was also very wronged by the noise, and said: "Tighten up! It's been almost two months, it's good to have these left!"

"Damn it!" Gao Lan cursed, looking at the number of these wells, there are not enough incendiary bombs!What about this!After thinking for a moment, Gao Lan gritted his teeth and could only fight recklessly. He sent the enemy army to the top of the wall and fought hand-to-hand!It's better than anyone else!
Immediately, Gao Lan immediately commanded: "Archers, only shoot the eight wells to the east! Don't care about the rest!" The wells that the archers were asked to shoot were the wells that Gao Lan wanted to let them come over. Let the bows and arrows first Consume the troops on Jinglan with one hand, and then let them come up to fight recklessly.

"Fire!" Gao Lan yelled, and the soldiers immediately picked up the incendiary bombs, took the torches, and set fire to the sackcloth leaking from the outside of the crock, then Gao Lan shouted: "Aim at the twelve well rails to the west! !” Pointing to a well fence to the west, Gao Lan ruthlessly threw the incendiary bomb in his hand.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the incendiary bomb exploded on the wooden defense of the well fence. For a moment, the alcohol inside was ignited, and the flames splashed immediately. The top fell down, but the soldiers pushing the well below didn’t care about the life and death of the people above, because they got the death order, no matter how many people were left on the top, as long as they were not dead, they had to continue pushing the well. , Knowing that pushing it to the edge of the city wall can make the soldiers on the well fence jump to the top of the city wall.

"Pfft!" However, the soldiers under the well were not without danger. Fire men fell from their heads one by one, and many people who didn't react were hit or killed directly. , or was also ignited, rolling on the ground with flames on his body, howling...

It can be said that a round of incendiary bombs suppressed the morale of Zhang Yan's army, but in the rear, looking at the situation on the top of the city like this, when the incendiary bombs flew towards the twelve wells to the west, Zhang Yan Unexpectedly, the corner of his mouth twitched, he patted his saddle, and said: "Okay! Sure enough, the guess is right!"

The generals on the side immediately looked at Zhang Yan suspiciously, and Zhang Yan immediately said: "You guys, there are not many incendiary bombs on Gaolan City, they can only destroy the twelve wells to the west of us, and the remaining eight It is already powerless to destroy, and the arrows of the archers are all shooting at the eight wells, Gao Lan is going to put the wells on the city wall, ha ha! Hand-to-hand combat! Good! Gao Lan, let's see if you are ruthless or I am ruthless!"

They are all old Chinese doctors. On the battlefield, there are very few people who can fool others. Gao Lan did this in front of Zhang Yan's eyes. Of course, he couldn't deceive Zhang Yan's eyes. , Zhang Yan waved his hand and said: "Command, the rest of the troops, attack from the east!"

"promise!"

"My lord!" Tao Sheng on the side immediately said nervously to Zhang Yan: "If the rest of the troops are transferred away, the Chinese army will be empty!"

Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes and said viciously, "What are you afraid of? Now that Li Lin is dead, I'm still afraid that they will suddenly show up with a group of troops to attack my Chinese army?"

"Okay!" Tao Sheng gritted his teeth, nodded, and immediately commanded the rest of the soldiers, leading the team himself, and rushed up.

The twelve wells have all been ignited, leaving behind pieces of charred corpses, but this cannot stop Zhang Yan's army from charging, the remaining eight wells have already rushed to the city wall, and the incendiary bombs are gone , below, is the most primitive hand-to-hand combat.

"General! The enemy army is coming up!" The soldier immediately shouted.

Gao Lan raised a spear in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, kill me and kill the enemy off the city wall!"

"Ah!" Everyone roared angrily. As soon as Zhang Yan's army appeared, they were about to receive greetings from more than a dozen spears, but just like that, Zhang Yan's army still climbed onto the city wall.

"Pfft!" Gao Lan stabbed a soldier with a spear, and suddenly felt the cold wind coming from behind him. It was too late to speak, Gao Lan dodged, dropped the spear, and pulled out the steel knife at his waist.

"Dang!" With a crisp sound, Gao Lan pulled out half of the knife body, blocking the steel knife from the enemy behind him, and Gao Lan cursed: "Good boy, how dare you sneak attack!" A kick flew up and kicked the man in the lower abdomen. The man took a step back in pain, and Gao Lan immediately stepped forward.

"Shua!" The long knife came out of its sheath, and took advantage of the situation to cut off the enemy's head.

"Hey! Defend the city! The city is here and the people are here!" Gao Lan roared angrily.

"Defend the city! The city is here and the people are here!"

"Defend the city! The city is here and the people are here!"

The soldiers under his command responded one after another, but Gao Lan took another look. Behind, Zhang Yan had already mobilized all the soldiers of the Chinese army, Jing Lan leaned against the city wall, and these enemy troops could rush up directly, without any barriers, "Look Come! Today, I am very likely to confess here!" Gao Lan smiled wryly in his heart, and looked at the Lin Dao in his hand. These are the generals that the lord personally gave us back then, and there is also a black letter on his side. flag.

Looking at the flag still hanging on the top of the city, the Liao flag in black, and the lower right corner of the Liao character, there is another Gao Lan character, Gao Lan said quietly: "Master! The last general is powerless, but the last general, Faithful! Kill!" After lamenting, Gao Lan erupted, swung his long knife, and rushed directly towards the crowd. A forest knife flew up and down, and in a short while, the enemy army who rushed up was cornered.

But as the second wave of Zhang Yan's army rushed up, the pressure on the city doubled. There were only bloody fights and desperate struggles. Didn't someone scream and fall from the city wall, falling to pieces... …

Zhang Yan, who was behind, was very happy to face such a tragic situation, and shouted excitedly: "Huh! Today is the broken city..."

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and looked to the east, only to see a black line appeared on the horizon, and this black line was rapidly becoming thicker, Zhang Yan's realization also became Clear up, cavalry!It's cavalry!Looking at the banner, Wen!
"Eh?" Zhang Yan couldn't believe his eyes at first, the reinforcements were actually reinforcements from the enemy.

"Woo..." The war horse under his crotch neighed a few times and stomped his hooves a few times. Zhang Yan had already expressed his prediction of the coming danger, so Zhang Yan realized it and immediately shouted: "No! It's the reinforcements." , Enemy reinforcements!"

In fact, there was no need for Zhang Yan to shout at all. There was already a soldier riding his horse towards Zhang Yanben, shouting non-stop: "My lord... my lord... the enemy reinforcements have arrived, and they have already rushed straight to the central army. Lord..."

Zhang Yan has already transferred all the troops of the Chinese army forward, and the Chinese army is empty. How can we fight with others? Zhang Yan shouted angrily: "Damn! Someone will sneak attack our Chinese army! I am so angry! Hurry up! Hurry up! Mingjin Retreat! Hurry up! Hurry up!" Zhang Yan was quite angry, because he could think that he had besieged Xingyang for nearly two months, and the enemy had not sent any reinforcements from the rear, and today was the best time for him. I sent out the Chinese army, but the enemy's reinforcements came!Could it be that the enemy army has an expert, so they came at a good time?Maybe they are here for their own Chinese army!Still guessing, Zhang Yan gritted his teeth and immediately retreated, let's talk after he is safe!
