"I suspect our intelligence is wrong!" Lu Sheng questioned, "There are more than three thousand enemy troops in Yongxing City!"
The reason why he said this was because from the first day of the siege, the Daxia troops threw thousands of boulders in total, and half of the stones around Yongxing City were used. But even with such a fierce and dense bombardment of boulders, the effect was very limited.
The main wall of Yongxing City could not be completely destroyed, and the Zhou Dynasty defenders could always quickly repair it after rounds of bombardment.
Moreover, after the Zhou Dynasty defenders initially experienced Daxia's firepower, they became more and more accustomed to such attacks. At first, it caused many casualties to the defenders every day. Later, the battle losses of the defenders became smaller and smaller.
After besieging the city for five days, the Daxia army did not achieve much results.
At the same time, Liu Mo also received a personal letter from the sixth prince. The letter clearly stated that the city of Hetu had been captured.
What made Liu Mo even more incredible was that that night, the scouts came to report that Wei Changjun marched all the way to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
There were frequent successes on the other two routes, but the small town of Yongxing on Liu Mo's side could not be captured for a long time.
"It feels weird!" Liu Mo frowned. "What is Yang Yizhi thinking? How do you deploy your troops? Or are you afraid of being beaten by me? Don't want other territories? Choose to gather all your troops to defend the crystal (capital)?"
It doesn't make sense, that's not how battles are fought. "
"What's going on with Yongxing? Why is it so difficult to attack the most advanced outpost?"
"My Lord Governor, let's attack the city tomorrow!" Zhu Min suggested, "We can't let others look down upon us."
"If we attack by force, our losses will be huge." Sun Kan said, "The current situation in Daxia..."
He wanted to say that if the losses were too great, he would suffer losses if he fought with Wei Changjun after the war.
Sending spies into the city? Let's do a Li Ying Wai He? It must be deployed in advance and mixed in before the war.
Now that the army has been besieging the city for several days, the other side is extremely guarded, and there is no such chance.
At this moment, Liu Mo suddenly felt that Yang Yizhi's previous methods were not so despicable.
If he had a choice, he would also like to capture a wave of Zhou Dynasty elites as cannon fodder and launch a tentative attack to find out the reality.
This may be war, 'kindness does not command troops! '
"Tomorrow I will personally lead two thousand elite troops to attack the east gate of Yongxing. Brother Zhu, you lead two thousand troops to attack the south gate." Liu Mo ordered, "Remember, the main thing is to find out the truth and the truth, and don't kill red eyes."
"Sir, are you going to fight in person?"
"Yes, nothing can stimulate fighting spirit more than the head coach coming into battle!"
"It's too dangerous!" Zhu Min said with concern.
"Haha, if we fight alone, Brother Zhu, you will have to take more than twenty rounds to defeat me." Liu Mo said with a smile, "There are no experts like you in Yongxing City, right?"
Indeed, Liu Mo's martial arts skills have improved a lot now, and he can fight Zhu Min back and forth.
"That's alright!" Zhu Min bowed, "General, take your orders!"
"Zhao Da, Sun Kan, the three of you each lead your own troops and ambushes on both sides."
"Ambush on both sides?" The three of them were puzzled.
"Yes, I highly doubt Yang Yizhi is nearby!" Liu Mo told them.
"Mr. Governor, are you worrying too much?" Lu Sheng said, "Is that poisonous snake crazy? The capital city doesn't want it anymore?"
"That's right. If you lead troops here, even if you defend Yongxing and the capital falls, wouldn't you think that you are going to be the prince who subjugates your country?"
Everything is Liu Mo's guess, and he has no real evidence. "No need to say more, execute the order!"
~~~
One soldier is raging, and the general is raging in a nest.
The combat effectiveness, appearance and discipline of an army are directly related to its generals.
Zhu Min's ability to lead troops was not weak, and coupled with Liu Mo's "Military God" aura, under their leadership, two thousand elite soldiers rushed towards Yongxing City like a rainbow.
On the city wall, the soldiers guarding the city from the Zhou Dynasty stared nervously at the approaching Daxia soldiers. They were armed with spears and shields, and wore heavy armor. Their eyes were firm, as if they were trying to forge an invisible line of defense with faith.
At this time, the catapults of the Daxia army besieging the city were loaded again. Lu Sheng gave the order and then the Daxia soldiers pulled up their slings and aimed a burning boulder at the city wall.
The soldiers guarding the city were not surprised. They looked for bunkers in an orderly manner.
A moment later, the boulder burst out of the air, streaking a fiery trajectory towards the city wall. The boulder hit the city wall with a deafening bang.
The city walls trembled, bricks and stones flew, and at that moment, the whole world seemed to be shaking.
"Kill!" Liu Mo rushed to the front line as the coach, which immediately aroused high morale.
Throwing boulders from behind, Daxia soldiers rushed forward, then climbed the city wall with ladders and hit the city gate with siege engines.
In order to prevent accidental damage, when the siege soldiers began to climb the ladder, the catapult stopped attacking.
When the wooden door of Daxia's siege tower opened, Liu Mo held a shield in his left hand and "Oath" in his right hand, roared and charged forward.
When an arrow struck, he put down his sword and raised his shield to block it.
Then, Liu Mo lowered his head and squatted down. "Right now!"
At the command, the Daxia soldiers behind him threw the flying spears in their hands fiercely, and the Zhou Dynasty defenders on the opposite side who were not in a hurry to dodge fell to the ground.
In an instant, Liu Mo had rushed into the enemy formation, and the battlefield instantly shrank to a few feet around him.
An infantryman of the Zhou Dynasty stabbed him in the chest with a spear. He waved his long sword and blocked the spear. The man jumped back and planned to try again, but Liu Mo was faster. He changed direction and struck out with his sword. Cut off the opponent's head.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Liu Mo heard the roar of the wood being struck, and there was no doubt that the battering ram had entered the battle. The huge hinges creaked like the groans of a dying giant.
"All troops!" he shouted, and the Daxia soldiers who had stormed the tower quickly gathered together.
After a moment of free time, Liu Mo stuck his head out and looked under the city wall, and his heart suddenly trembled.
I saw that the square in front of Yongxing City Gate was filled with soldiers from the Zhou Dynasty, and their horses were lined up in more than a dozen rows. A rough count showed that there were at least 10,000 defenders!
"No, Lord Governor, our numbers are too small." A Daxia general shouted.
Liu Mo also knew this. The intelligence was wrong and the defenders would be out for much longer than imagined.
In a dazed moment, I saw a shadow emerging from the shadow of the city wall. This man was wearing smoky gray armor and holding a silver gun. He was majestic!
I saw the man waving the silver spear in his hand, and one Daxia soldier after another was pierced through the body and fell off the city wall.
This skill, this silver gun!
I'm going to say hello, Yang Yizhi?
How could he show up in Yongxing, wanting to beat me once and kill me even if he didn't want the capital?
Take a closer look.
No, that's not quite right, his armor is gray, not black!
The appearance...it's him!
The son of Prince Guo who was killed by Liu Mo in Xingluo! Xiao Yi, the king of Guojun!
Tang Qingfeng is not with me. If it were Yang Yizhi, I would definitely die without a burial place. This may be the only good news.
But... it’s extremely abnormal for the prince of Dazhou County to be stationed here in Xiaoyongxing!
"Mr. Governor, we should withdraw!" A Daxia general reminded again.
Liu Mo turned around and saw hundreds of Zhou Dynasty soldiers swarming up the city wall.
If you don't leave, it will be too late.
"Withdraw!" He ordered helplessly.
As a result, less than half a quarter of an hour after storming the city wall, Liu Mo withdrew with his men.
On the city wall, the defenders of the Zhou Dynasty let out one after another victor-like shouts, it was so harsh! ! !
