The war started as expected.
Outside the south gate, Yu Du waved his big hand, and the 5,000-man Black Bandit vanguard was divided into twenty teams and charged towards the city wall. Each team had hundreds of people. Among them, the dozens in front carried shields, and a dozen people carried shields. Crash against the city walls, and a few people moved towards the city wall on high ladders.
"Archers prepare, release."
After the bandits entered and the bows and arrows were within shooting range, Zang Hong put down the long knife in his hand, picked up the bow and arrows, and kept aiming at the shield hand in front of the bandits to release arrows. He fired the arrows while commanding.
Wang Xiu had already gone down to the city tower to prepare arrows, rolling stones and other items for the defenders. At the same time, he coordinated and commanded other city gates to resist the bandits invading the Bohai Sea.
After all, the Montenegrin Army are ordinary people who have not received formal training and do not know how to protect themselves.
Zang Hong also had extraordinary archery skills. With his strength, he could almost shoot one arrow at a time. Almost as soon as the shield hand raised his head, he was shot through the head. Those who were so frightened that they did not dare to raise their shields all shrank their heads, fearing that they would be shot. dead.
Taking this opportunity, the soldiers guarding the city kept firing arrows. A large number of bows and arrows flew down from the city tower. Facing the ant-sized Montenegrin army below that covered the ground, they didn't even need to aim. They could kill a person by just releasing arrows.
Swish, swish, swish...
After several waves of arrows, the leading force of the Black Mountain bandits retreated, leaving behind more than two thousand corpses.
Zang Hong took the opportunity to let the city defenders take a break as there would be a fierce battle for a while. On the other hand, he asked his men to inform the prefect Wang Xiu to bring more arrows and city defense tools over. The battle had just begun.
“Damn it, it’s really unreasonable”
Yu Du looked at his men and retreated dejectedly before they even reached the city wall, very angry.
So he stepped forward and waved his machete, and after killing several minions who retreated and fled, he shouted.
"Charge me, don't retreat. If you dare to retreat, kill immediately."
After saying that, he beheaded a few more deserters and ordered the law enforcement team to follow behind and supervise the battle with swords. Anyone who dared to take a step back would be killed by me.
The Black Mountain bandits got angry when they saw their commander-in-chief, and this battle also frightened them. They didn't dare to retreat anymore, so they organized their troops and continued to attack the city.
This time they learned the lesson and didn't divide themselves into separate groups. They all swarmed forward with 10,000 troops. Let the shield bearers stand in front, and they crawl behind with their heads lowered. The strong men behind are carrying siege ladders and ramming timbers.
"ding ding ding"
After a hail of arrows rained down from the city tower, it was all useless and only the sound of shields being rubbed could be heard. After a while, the enemy troops rushed under the city wall. After erecting the siege ladder, it’s time to climb the city wall.
Seeing this, Zang Hong wiped the sweat from his forehead and guarded the entire city wall by himself. Even he was exhausted. He glared fiercely at the enemy not far away and finally made a decision.
"Archers rotate, Rolling Stones prepare to... release!"
The archers retreated, and then a group of tall and strong soldiers walked up the city wall from behind, each of them holding a boulder. Under Zang Hong's order, he threw it down.
Click, click, click...
The free fall of the boulder exerts extremely terrifying power. Once hit by the boulder, the bones will be shattered at least, or the person will be killed on the spot. Not only that, the boulder will break the ladder after hitting the person, and the thief who is climbing up screams in agony. , fell from the air more than thirty meters high.
"Shoot your arrows, shoot your arrows, everyone, shoot your arrows for me. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Seeing that the rolling stone was effective, Zang Hong calmly directed the arrows to kill the enemy.
Just when he was proud, the city wall shook.
boom……
boom!
It turned out that at this time, the Montenegrin army who hit the city gate finally rushed to the city gate carrying the wood to hit the city gate. More than a dozen people rushed to the city gate carrying the wood together. The powerful force made the city wall shake.
Seeing what happened at the city gate, Zang Hong frowned. Although there were many soldiers defending the city gate, once the gap was opened, the seven thousand guards alone could not resist the attack of a hundred thousand troops.
In desperation, Zang Hong had no choice but to use his last resort and ordered.
"The Stones rotate, the Oilers prepare!"
Then, another group of soldiers came to the city wall. They formed a group of three, each two carrying a pot of boiling oil, and the third held a torch.
"Three, two, one, pour the oil!"
Wow...
Several hundred degrees of oil poured down from the top, and the torch was thrown, and for a moment, there were only screams on the battlefield.
The Montenegrin soldiers who were carrying the siege logs held their heads in pain and fell down. Some were showered from head to toe, and some had oil poured into their eyes just as they were raising their heads. The severe pain made them forget that they were carrying the siege logs. After the tree fell, a large number of people were smashed to death.
The fifteen-meter-long, thousand-kilogram solid ramming log burned instantly, along with all the soldiers carrying the log.
But after a while, there was no longer a living person under the tower, only charred corpses with smoke rising.
Seeing this, Zang Hong couldn't bear it, but after taking a look at the tired soldiers around him, he hardened his heart. This is war, either you die or I die.
At the same time, Yu Du, the commander of the Black Mountain Army, killed the retreating soldiers. He and a group of confidants rode on horseback to supervise the battle and watch the siege.
I felt very proud when I saw that my men and horses were about to climb up the city tower and about to break down the city gate.
Unfortunately, the pride did not last long, and saw the death of countless Montenegrin troops. However, because of Zang Hong's command, the garrison did not suffer much losses.
Immediately, I was furious. I was so angry that I ordered the Montenegrin Army to continue attacking the Bohai City Wall.
Seeing that Yu Du was obviously continuing to commit suicide, a confidant had the courage to bite the bullet and suggested.
"Your Majesty, let the brothers come back and repair themselves. They are no longer able to fight anymore."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and waited for Yu Du's sword to come. After all, the previous lessons were still fresh in his mind.
After waiting for a long time, Yu Du didn't say anything and attacked him.
The confidant opened his eyes and saw that Yu Du was a little confused and had difficulty making a decision.
Originally, if he had followed his own temperament, he would have understood and dared to give advice. But looking at the confidants around him, and then at the men around him, I found that they were all a little scared, and their expressions had not yet been freed from the cruel scene just now.
Although Yu Du is cruel, he is not stupid. Knowing that they are timid, if they attack the city today, they will not gain much, except for corpses and resentment. It seems that we can only stop here today, and we have to find a way.
So, let this confidant go first. He asked his subordinates to blow the whistle and give the order to retreat. After a while, the Montenegrin army retreated.
