"General, these thieves are stubborn, let's attack directly!" Xu Beimiao said helplessly as he returned to the army behind.
Chao Gai and Hua Rong have told the Da Cang army with facts that they and others in Liangshan will not surrender!
The fourth prince Huangfu Mingfeng also gave up the last trace of luck and said: "Get ready to attack!"
In fact, if people like Liangshan are really willing to surrender, the fourth prince Huangfu Mingfeng will definitely accept it. Some people will not only let them go, but will take them for their own use, or even reuse them.
He had also heard about the battle between Wu Changkong and Hong Tiandu. At Wu Changkong's age, he could defeat Hong Tiandu. This strength was already very close to the god level.
It can be said that if Wu Changkong can be conquered, it is almost equivalent to conquering a divine general.
Moreover, the other bandit leaders in Liangshan also have some abilities. If they are conquered or recruited, it will be a big help to the current fourth prince.
It's a pity that you still have to fight first!
Even the recruiting faction like Song Jiang hopes to fight first. Even if they want to be recruited, they must first let the court see their abilities. Otherwise, even if they are successfully recruited, what use will being a pawn be to them?
Xu Beimiao, Liang Yueyue, and Nanfeng Buyu responded in unison: "Yes!"
Liang Yueyue and Nanfeng Buyu were the other two Yannan Dao generals besides Hong Tiandu, Xu Beimiao and Zheng Shouchang.
Among them, Nanfeng Buyu's level is about the same as Xu Beimiao's, while Liang Yueyue's level is even worse. With a basic force of 93 points, he is the weakest among the five generals sent by the Yannan Daofu Army this time. .
Although Zheng Shouchang is also at the top level, at least his commanding ability is also at the top level. But this Liang Yueyue is different. With a second-rate commanding ability, he has gone further and further on the road of food. What a highlight character.
Then, under the command of Xu Beimiao and Nanfeng Buyu, the officers and soldiers of Da Cang got busy.
Teams of crossbowmen stepped forward and lined up outside the mountain gate. Shield soldiers also stepped forward with shields to provide cover for these crossbowmen.
Without the cover of these shield soldiers, these crossbowmen would be equivalent to killing people in the subsequent exchange of fire between the two sides.
The Liangshan troops on the city wall were protected by the wall, and they shot arrows from high to below, but the Da Cang officers and soldiers shot from bottom to top, so they were naturally at the disadvantage. Therefore, these crossbowmen must be defended by shieldmen.
At Liang Yueyue's shouts, the civilian husband brought the siege equipment and siege tools such as trebuchets, crossbows, ladder trucks, and city-breaking trucks, and moved them to the location designated by him.
At this time, the people in Liangshan above the Guan Wall were not idle either. The archers had their bows and arrows ready to shoot at any time, and some minions were constantly carrying rolling logs and thunder stones from under the Guan Wall to the Guan Wall.
There are also some soldiers who heat up a pot of oil and gold juice. The boiling oil and gold juice can cause huge damage to the officers and soldiers.
Judging from the performance of the Liangshan bandits, they seem to have made up their minds and are ready to fight to the end.
In fact, in Liangshan, the Zhao'an faction headed by Song Jiang and Wu Yong was originally relatively powerful. Hua Rong, Mu Hong, Li Kui, and Song Qing were Song Jiang's confidants. Yang Zhi, Suo Chao, Zhang Qing, Zhu Dian, and Xu Although Ning joined Liangshan for various reasons, he did not want to be a bandit here all his life.
As for Nan Xuanfeng, who was born in the army, he is very conflicted. He wants to take revenge on Chen Xuanbao, but he does not think that being a bandit is a promising career. Generally speaking, Nan Xuanfeng is closer to the Zhaoan sect and can be regarded as a member of the Zhaoan sect.
Only a few people such as Shi Jin were not very interested in the army, and they were considered to be of the same faction as Chao Gai.
However, Shi Zhixuan, Zhao Deyan, Chang Yuchun, and Lan Yu, who have recently come to Liangshan, are all standard diehards, and these people are also masters, which greatly increased the power of Chao Gai!
These people didn't call at all about the so-called recruitment, and they couldn't play with Song Jiang at all. Therefore, he closely united with Chao Gai.
Relying on Chao Gai was also intentional by Shi Zhixuan. It could balance the Zhao'an faction represented by Song Jiang, prevent Liangshan from actually embarking on this path, and create conditions for their plan to proceed smoothly.
At the same time, they can also use Chao Gai to quickly establish a foothold in Liangshan and gain actual power.
Chao Gai was the boss in name no matter what. When hiring people, if he had a choice, would he use people who were congenial to him or use those who were against him? This was the final choice. Of course it goes without saying!
Moreover, after they gain a foothold and resolve this Liangshan crisis, Shi Zhixuan's next step is to stir up the relationship between Chao Gai and Song Jiang, use Chao Gai to suppress Song Jiang, and strive for opportunities in the process Let Chang Yuchun and the others take over.
After struggling for a while, all the attack equipment was finally ready. Following Nanfeng's silent command, the trebuchets and crossbows fired!
The trebuchet is also called a trebuchet. Its structure is very simple. A horizontal axis is made on a wooden frame, and a long rod is inserted between the axis and the horizontal axis. One end of the rod is tied to a leather nest containing stones, and the other end is tied to dozens or dozens of More than a hundred ropes.
When using it, the stones are put into the leather nest, and with a command, everyone pulls the rope, and the stones from the leather nest are thrown out as if they are flying.
As soon as the officers and soldiers came up, they took out all the two big killer weapons, the catapult and the bed crossbow, just to get the upper hand and try to win this Liangshan in one go!
Although Liangshan has grown to ten thousand people and has become a fierce bandit, it has not experienced any major battles.
Before, we went down to attack areas like Tangjiazhuang, Ningjiazhuang, or some small counties. Who were those opponents? How could they compare with these regular armies?
The fourth prince just wanted to seize the fact that Liangshan had not experienced a big battle yet, so he used all his strength to disrupt the opponent's position and seize the opportunity to break through this barrier.
However, although this method has certain operability, once the Liangshan bandit army can survive this wave, there will definitely be a considerable increase in all aspects. Next, the battle between the officers and the army will probably be even more troublesome!
"Let go!" Liang Yueyue, who was in charge of commanding the catapult, ordered sternly.
"Bang bang bang..." Huge stone bullets flew towards the sky.
This time, they prepared a lot of catapults, a total of fifty. Fifty boulders hit him on the head. Even if they couldn't hit him, just looking at this scene was already very frightening.
And just when Liang Yueyue commanded the catapult to take action, the crossbows were not to be outdone and spit out the cold murder weapons one by one.
