Lu Shinang gave an order, and thousands of southern soldiers shouted and rushed towards the city wall like a tide.
More than 2,000 archers among them took the lead and formed a formation under the city. They bent their bows and nocked arrows, and fired at the top of the city wall.
But when they heard the sound of the strings vibrating, those arrows rose into the sky like a black cloud and enveloped the city wall. More than a thousand people, divided into more than ten teams, rushed down to the city carrying ladders.
Lu Shinang raised his troops, fought all the way, and attacked the city several times, all in this way: first covering the city with a rain of arrows, and then surrounding it with ants. Even a big city like Runzhou fell with one drum.
Unexpectedly, Xu Churen, after all, had served as a military commander in the Yongxing Army and knew some of the art of war. Otherwise, how could he dare to go into battle in person? Since he knew Yangzhou, he had put a lot of effort into rectifying the city defenses and repairing equipment. At that time, all the powerful people in Yangzhou secretly ridiculed him for being meddlesome, but now he is putting it to use.
Seeing the arrows coming, the defenders hurriedly raised their shields and door panels high to cover the arrows. The crossbowmen took the opportunity to fight back. Arrows fell from the top of the city to the bottom.
The people were all holding rolling logs and beating stones. When the thieves rushed forward, they smashed them down in a chaotic manner, and suddenly there was a scream.
However, there were still many rebels, so they tried their best to put up ladders one after another on the top of the city. Among the thieves, there were brave men who held single swords in their mouths and rushed to climb first. Lu Shinang looked up and laughed when he saw that the attack was successful.
However, after laughing for only a few times, he was suddenly strangled in his throat - and suddenly a big black man appeared on the city wall, naked, flying back and forth, roaring like thunder.
He didn't even use a weapon, he just grabbed the ladder with his bare hands, and with the strength of a bull, he pulled it up with all his strength. Even the thieves on the ladder were pulled up the wall.
Poor those thieves, they rushed to the city with arrows and rocks, and finally set up the ladder. As soon as they climbed halfway, they flew up like clouds and mist. They were all so frightened that they screamed and closed their eyes tightly. When they opened them, Already at the top of the city, countless swords and axes were slashing at him.
Apart from Li Kui, this big man naturally has no one else.
Niu Gao followed Li Kui closely, waving his maces to block his arrows. Li Kui was not distracted, and with great power, he pulled more than ten ladders in succession. The soldiers and civilians on the city were shocked and cheered in unison, but the thieves below the city were just human beings. The person's complexion changed, and the two sides were fighting.
Lu Shinang couldn't help but grit his teeth. He knew that his morale had declined, and more than half of the ladder had been broken. It was futile to continue the attack. He ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops angrily.
Returning to his account, he pondered hard, and suddenly came up with another plan: There were few soldiers capable of fighting in the city after all. Even though the big black man was brave, he could only care about one city wall. It would be better to surround three towers and attack from three sides, asking him to focus on one and lose the other. Leave the north gate unattacked to weaken the morale of the troops in the city.
After making up his mind, Lu Shinang issued military orders one after another: "Qingtian God" Shen Gang blocked the east gate, and "Six Ding God" Xu Tong blocked the west gate. The two generals each had 2,000 troops, and Lu Shinang and him Each person had three thousand, and they all made up five thousand, and ordered them to quickly cut down trees and build ladders, and agreed to attack at the same time tomorrow.
He also ordered the "Dunjia God" Ying Ming to lead two thousand men to ambush five miles outside the north gate. If the city was broken and the defenders fled from the north gate, they would kill him in one fell swoop and not let a single person escape.
Allocate an additional thousand troops, divide them into twenty teams, and go around to capture the people as vanguards in order to consume the strength of the defenders.
Lu Shinang led 20,000 troops across the river. Two thousand were killed at the north gate first. At this moment, groups of troops were sent out, leaving only 5,000 with him.
In the afternoon, the bandit soldiers were busy building ladders and large shields. Suddenly they heard a cannon fire in the city. When they hurriedly looked, the south gate of Yangzhou was opened. Li Kui held a pair of axes and led three to five hundred soldiers and horses, shouting and fighting out of the city. Come.
When Lu Shinang heard the report, he was overjoyed. The other party had given up the advantage of the city wall for no reason. How could he still be polite to him?
He hurriedly sent orders, and first sent the "God of Thunder" Zhang Jinren to lead two thousand troops out of the camp to fight. Then he sent the "God of Tai Sui" Gao Keli with two thousand troops to tell him to go out from the side door and detour to the rear of Li Kui to block him. On the way back to the city, they killed this army in one fell swoop.
Among the twelve gods in the south of the Yangtze River, eight crossed the river with Lu Shinang. The giant spirit god and the You Yi god were killed in battle, and the Taibai god was captured. At this moment, the remaining five were all sent out, leaving only one of his generals, who led the army alone. Thousands of people guarded the camp.
Not long after, there was a loud killing sound outside, and Lu Shinang felt itchy when he heard it. He was about to leave the camp to watch the battle. Suddenly, there was an uproar in the camp. Lu Shinang looked back and saw how many Song troops rushed in from the rear camp.
Lu Shinang's expression changed, and he said in shock: "Ah, you have fallen into the enemy's plan!"
He quickly sent messengers, raised the level to immediately return reinforcements, and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone. This group of Song troops can avoid the probing horses and come around behind me. At most, they will be deflected all the way. You will fight to the death with me, so you only need to block them slightly." For a while, when the commander-in-chief returns to his army, he will be waiting for death. At that time, I, the Privy Council, will give you many rewards and make you all rich!"
Seeing that the general was calm in the face of danger, the thieves and soldiers were less frightened and heard that there would be a heavy reward. Their fighting spirit suddenly aroused. They all frowned and puffed heavily, and hurriedly lined up to meet the enemy.
Unexpectedly, the group of people came very quickly. Before the bandits were evenly formed, the first five heroes had already rushed into the formation on flying horses. The weapons in their hands seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and they rushed in like chopping melons and vegetables.
Although these thieves intended to fight to the death, sometimes the result of fighting to the death was death. His five giant insects came to kill side by side with an earth-shattering momentum, tearing open five bloody alleys in an instant.
The one in the middle is Wu Songwu Erlang, a handsome man and a horse. The two halberds are swinging away. They are really rubbing each other to death and hurting each other. If they touch each other, they will die. The halberds come and set off waves of blood. Luo Shuo Shuo shines brightly!
On the left was Lu Junyi, a white horse with a steel spear. Seeing that he was white, fat and kind, the bandits thought he would be easier to deal with. However, the spear flickered, and a cold light flashed out, and there were thousands of pear blossoms. The bandits in front of and beside him could not see clearly what was going on. The place where he came was already dead.
The second one on the left is Du Bo. The snake spear is long and heavy. It can be swept into a piece and pierced into a bunch. Who can be its sharp edge?
The one on Wu Song's right was Han Shizhong. He had been in Liangshan for more than a year and fought only with Duan Sanniang. At first, he won more than he lost, and then he won less and lost more. He gradually built up a feeling of injustice. Today's bad breath can be regarded as a way to vent it. When he came out, the pen knife moved out like a pen in the hand of a judge. Every stroke, every stroke, the word "death" was written all over the floor!
Next to Han Shizhong was Bian Xiang, who was the most ruthless person under Tian Hu's command back then who was accustomed to fighting. The mountain-breaking ax slashed left and right, as powerful as splitting mountains and seas. These thieves were all made of flesh and blood, how could they be stopped?
These five living giant insects are running rampant, how can the little Karami have a single enemy? Rows and rows were killed, the casualties were in a mess, and everyone couldn't help but feel terrified - they had just made up their minds to fight to the death, but with a strong force, all their determination and formation collapsed in an instant.
Cao Cao followed behind, he was also smacking his lips, thinking, this formation is too cruel, any one of these five fierce generals can sharpen the army, kill generals and capture flags, five of them are put together in one place, no matter what It's hard to overpower the heroic soldiers of Jin and Liao Dynasty. They are really too bullying to deal with this group of southern soldiers.
Lu Shinang was horrified when he saw this. He expected that the ambush group that suddenly came out was not large in number, but he never expected that there would be such a group of fierce tigers hidden among them!
However, after all, Privy Lu is a talented person who knows the current affairs. When he saw that something could not be done, he immediately made up his mind: If the green hills are left, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood. How can I block these five people? I will avoid them and then worry about it.
He knew that he couldn't wait for his subordinates to come back for reinforcements, so he took the snake spear from the victory hook in his hand, slapped his horse, and turned away before the big insects could reach him.
Cao Cao's surprise attack was timed just right. This was also discussed in advance. If Lu Shinang did not invest a large number of troops when he attacked the city, then Li Kui would be allowed to fight out of the city and attract him to encircle and suppress him. When the ambush soldiers heard the shouts of killing in front, they immediately used a move called Thousand Years. Killed, and then entered Lu Shinang's camp.
Lao Cao wanted to completely annihilate Lu Shinang's central army, so when he attacked, he deliberately set up a crescent formation. The center of the formation was sunk in and the two ends were raised. Wu Song and other five powerful generals were in the middle, and there were brave generals on both sides to outflank them first. , Lu Shinang ran back and hit the moon tip on the left side of the Yanyue Formation.
"White Snake" Yang Chun was circling behind to outflank, when he suddenly saw the enemy general running over in a panic, he was overjoyed and shouted: "Where are the thieves going? Please take the donkey head and let me take credit!" He held the big pole in his hand. The knife swung horizontally, blocking Lu Shinang's path.
Lu Shinang was very anxious and shouted: "Anyone who stands in my way will die!" Using all his strength, the snake spear eight feet long was as powerful as lightning, snapping and piercing.
Yang Chun wanted to do his best and refused to give in even an inch. The two of them fought quickly, and they were fighting for seven or eight times in an instant. Lu Shinang was eager to escape, so how could he be willing to tangle with him? He used a feint to trick Yang Chun into using his sword, then grabbed the horse's belly and forced it past Yang Chun.
Yang Chun's horse was not as strong as his opponent's, and he was about to escape. He was very worried. Suddenly he saw "Jiangjian Tiger" Chen Da leaping out of his horse. Without saying a word, he pulled out a steel gun with white dots in his hand and stabbed it straight into Master Lu's heart. , suddenly laughed and said: "Brother, you are good to come. This credit is destined to fall into your hands and mine."
Chen Da's martial arts skills were better than Yang Chun's, and the thrust of the spear was very urgent, but Lu Shinang's martial arts skills were also extraordinary. In a hurry, he turned the snake spear, and the tail of the spear flipped up, knocking out the steel spear.
However, just for this delay, Yang Chun also chased after him.
Yang Chun and Chen Da are sworn brothers in Shaohua Mountain. The two have known each other for many years. They know each other's abilities well and have a tacit understanding of each other. At this moment, they are fighting Lu Shinang together. One spear and one knife. The spear is for stabbing and the knife is for cutting. One is horizontal and the other is Longitudinal, if you go, I will come again. The offensive is intensive and the power is extraordinary.
Although Lu Shinang is not afraid of the two of them, but with one against two, how can he escape?
The three of them fought like a revolving lantern, and a group of heroes behind them used their strength together. The two thousand soldiers showed off their power and killed half of the thousand thieves. The remaining ones had their livers and gallbladders broken. They all dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for their lives. Only one was left. Lu Shinang was still resisting.
If someone else were to fight against him, Cao Cao would definitely ask his other brothers to do the same and quickly kill Lu Shinang, but it happened that Yang Chun and Chen Da were in the battle.
These two men joined Cao Cao's army because Shi Jin was lost and trapped in Huazhou. The three village owners of Shaohua Mountain were unable to rescue him, so they came to ask for help. Cao Cao specially led his troops all the way to rescue Shi Jin. Shaohua Mountain was grateful for his loyalty and kindness. Hezhai joined.
Among the four village masters of Shaohua Mountain, Shi Jin is young and brave, with extraordinary martial arts skills. Zhu Wu is familiar with the art of war and is good at practicing military formations. They can be said to have their own strengths. Only Yang Chun and Chen Da have mediocre martial arts skills. Although they have a heroic temperament and are very talkative, Loyalty, but when placed under Lao Cao, it is really not a challenge. Therefore, it is not easy to make meritorious deeds. Therefore, Lao Cao pondered for a moment and finally did not let anyone interfere.
He said loudly: "The middle army of the bandits has been destroyed, but most of them are still there. We will work together to take advantage of his illness to kill him. Shi Dalang, I will plunder the formation for Brother Chen and Brother Yang. The rest will be divided into two groups and destroyed first." The enemy in the south of this city."
There are still two groups of enemies in the south of the city. One group is the "Thunderbolt God" Zhang Jinren, who has led two thousand people and is fighting with Li Kui. Seeing that the camp was lost, they expected to come to rescue them, but how could Li Kui be so friendly to them? Swinging his ax and charging across the battlefield, he entangled the army horse.
The other group was led by the "Tai Sui God" Gao Keli with two thousand men. They were originally going to take a detour and cut off Li Kui's way back to the city. Later, he received an order from Lu Shinang and returned to his aid.
As the saying goes, drums don't need heavy hammers, brothers, Lao Cao didn't need to pay in detail, so he divided them into two groups, each with more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and attacked Zhang and Gao separately.
But he said that Gao Keli left the camp and rushed to block Li Kui. He got the military order on the way and rushed back. He came and went in a hurry. Before they saw the enemy, most of the soldiers' physical strength had been exhausted, and they were all wheezing and panting. As he was running in a hurry, he saw a group of people coming to kill him. The leading general was none other than Wu Songwu Erlang, followed closely by seven or eight brothers who looked like wolves and tigers.
Gao Ke immediately saw how majestic he was, so he became timid and thought to himself: This guy is not easy to deal with. I can't fight with him. Wouldn't it be inconvenient to kill him with one arrow? "
His archery skills are quite extraordinary. He has been fighting with Fangla for several months since he raised his army, and he has also killed several Song generals. At this moment, while galloping on his horse, he turned half of his body, secretly bent his bow and arrows, and waited until the two armies were close to each other. When he reached ten feet, he suddenly let out a loud roar, stood up with his feet in the stirrups, and looked at Wu Song for a closer look. He let go of his right hand, and where the string sounded, an arrow shot out like a shooting star.
Liu Tang and Yu Baosi shouted in unison: "Second brother, be careful!"
Wu Song smiled slightly, handed both halberds to his left hand, and with his free right hand, he gently picked up the arrow between his fingers. The smile on his face remained unchanged, and his brows were full of heroic spirit. He had the demeanor of "holding a flower and smiling across the mountains" .
All the heroes cheered loudly, probably because catching an arrow is already a powerful method, and it is rare to see Wu Song catch an arrow with such calmness and calmness.
"Shen Juzi" Ma Ling scolded: "The thief deserves to die. He dares to stab someone in the back, and let him eat a gold brick from me." He was about to go to the treasure bag to touch the gold brick, but heard Wu Song laugh and say: "Brother Ma Wait a minute, let me show off my skills."
While he was talking, he threw away the arrow, touched the side of his horse, and pulled out a small halberd that was one foot long. However, it was the pattern that Cao Cao drew with his own hands in Yanggu County, and he shot it together with his two large iron halberds. Yes, he said with a smile: "I was able to shoot twelve short halberds and practiced for several years. Today I will make a profit."
After saying that, he waved his hand and threw it out. The small halberd weighed one and a half kilograms, and it spun rapidly out of hand. There was only a strange roar of "my son" and a black light flashed away.
Everyone looked around hurriedly, only to see Gao Keli's figure shaken, his chest and back, his armor shattered, and blood splattering. Behind him, a cavalryman with the small halberd stuck in his face somersaulted and fell off his horse.
All the heroes couldn't help but be horrified: Wu Song's flying halberd actually cut through Gao Keli's armor and body, killing the person behind him as well. Such power is really terrifying!
Ma Ling even exclaimed: "Ah, I thought that when it comes to the power of hidden weapons, there are few in the world who can surpass this gold brick. Unexpectedly, the second brother took action, and it was so powerful. The second brother is a true god!"
There are different religions: Which family has the best hidden weapons in the world? Fei Ji Wushuang Hu Erlang! Today I tried to recruit a thief general, and he killed the famous king with his hands.
