There were five artillery pieces as soon as they were delivered. Luo Zhang was sarcastic, but he couldn't find any fault with what he did.
If he couldn't defeat the enemy in front of him even though he had five artillery pieces, then Cheng Yaojin could really hit him to death.
Chengdu County was also besieged by four gates at this time.
Yesterday, it was only two gates that were actually attacking and two gates that were feinting. Today, uncharacteristically, all four gates were actually attacking. This put great pressure on Chengdu County.
They have a total of more than 30,000 troops. It would be better if two gates are actually attacked, with 10,000 troops at each gate, and 5,000 troops at the other two gates for a feint attack.
But now the four gates are actually attacked, so the troops are somewhat insufficient. Each gate has to be placed with 8,000 men, and the few remaining men are not enough to replace them.
In other words, there are only as many people as there are in the city now. There will be no reinforcements or replacements until the last moment of the fight.
Seeing the enemy being so crazy, Duan Xuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief. What does this mean? It explained that Luo Zhang was probably already there and was trying his best to come to the rescue. He thought he was being held back by Changsun Wuji now, but he probably wouldn't be able to hold him back for long.
You must know that Luo Zhang's army numbered hundreds of thousands. Although Changsun Wuji had a large number of troops, if he had to use most of his troops to attack the city, there would not be that many soldiers and horses to stop him. If there were too many people to stop him, then the siege force would There are fewer people, and now the four gates are attacking the city, obviously hoping to capture Chengdu before Luo Zhang arrives.
In this way, even if Luo Zhang comes, it will be of no avail.
"Send to the four gates and tell them that Lord Luo's army has arrived. If you hold on for a moment, you must hold on. If anyone loses the city gate, I will only ask him!" Duan Xuanzhi ordered.
The messenger left immediately and sent messages to the other three gates.
As soon as they received the message, the other three gates were excited and tried their best to block the enemy, not giving the enemy the slightest chance to climb the city wall.
Even if it is mounted on the city wall, it will be beaten back immediately and give the enemies under the city a heavy blow!
Due to the four-door attack, the wood knots were somewhat insufficient. In just a quarter of an hour, the wood knots were exhausted.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city could only rely on rolling logs and stone piles to stop the enemy.
However, in doing so, you will expose yourself to the enemy's crossbows and the enemy's wooden bumps.
There were no wooden bumps on the city, but the enemy did. The arrows with wooden bumps kept shooting at the city wall, causing great losses to the defenders.
In just half an hour, the four gates suffered losses of up to 10,000 people.
There are only 8,000 people in total. Now there are 6,000 in some places and only 4,000 in some places. Half of them were directly lost in the battle.
According to this speed, if we can hold on for at most half an hour, we are afraid that Chengdu County will be breached.
At this time, Duan Xuanzhi frowned tightly. If Luo Zhang didn't come again, he wouldn't be able to hold on anymore.
Changsun Wuji went crazy and attacked frantically regardless of the soldiers' casualties.
It is extremely difficult for him to defend such an attack until now.
Of the 50,000-strong army, there are now only more than 10,000 left, not even 20,000.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin pulled five artillery pieces to the front line. After a roar, the fence that originally blocked his army was blown to pieces, and could no longer stop his cavalry attack.
Not only that, but from the enemy's rear, there were also loud shouts of killing.
Hearing this sound, Cheng Yaojin suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, which meant that the sneak attack was successful.
At that moment, he was no longer vague. He climbed on the horse himself and led the horse to charge towards the enemy's position.
It only took a quarter of an hour for the army horse that tried its best to block Cheng Yaojin to be attacked from the front and back, killing everyone without leaving any trace behind.
There is no chance to escape, the only way is to surrender!
The battle ended very quickly, and it took only a quarter of an hour to defeat the enemy that had blocked him for a day.
I have to say that Cheng Yaojin's luck is still very good. If the plank road cannot be walked, then even if he defeats the blocking enemy today, it will not take only this time.
The news reached Luo Zhang's ears immediately.
I originally wanted to give the soldiers an hour of rest, and I had promised everyone before. However, now that time is tight, there is no time to rest.
At his order, the soldiers who had just eaten and rested for two quarters of an hour got up, gathered their weapons, and waited for Luo Zhang's order.
