"Still fighting? I've gone back to the inner city for the winter." After hearing the information, Chang Shiro was startled.
"We are still fighting. According to previous intelligence, King Dongwen of Liangzhou has rushed to Lucheng with his army. It is estimated that the city will be besieged by now."
"He is so angry. Even a monster like Sima Xiu fell into the hands of Xiaodong's family. But... Xiaodong's family hides it very deeply. Zhongde, you read that right. Poisonous Eagle is really not dead." Chang Shiro It was a bit unpleasant, but he soon felt relieved and a smile appeared on his mouth.
"With this move of his, he was able to cripple that crybaby's arm. After a few years, my little boss's Shuzhou will be completely wiped out."
"When Liangzhou is really lost, I think this little crybaby will be shameless enough to call himself the king of Liangzhou?"
The old counselor beside him looked at his lord speechlessly.
"The poisonous owl is not dead, so it is the lord's most serious problem."
Changshiro smiled and did not answer.
"Zhongde, first set your sights on the four states of Hebei. In the spring of next year, the Yuzhou army will also launch a full-scale attack. That bitch Gongsunzu is poor and ugly, and I can't stand it for a moment. Sooner or later he will be put down. Drowned in a urinal."
"You are born ugly but you think you are beautiful. You can jump up and down even if you are on the dragon's throne, but you still want to fight for the throne."
"My lord, don't be careless, don't forget about the backstab before." The old counselor hurriedly advised.
"No, I will be very careful. Sooner or later, I will kill that dwarf!"
Probably because he was happy, Chang Shilang exhaled a breath, "Zhongde, when we attacked Huzhou, we also captured some robes and armor, right?"
"Exactly."
"Keep it useless, give it to your little boss."
"Lord, how can this be done!"
"It was a bet. Back then, he brought twenty-two villagers into the inner city. I bet right once, and now I'll bet again."
"My lord, if we put it in the future, the King of Shu might be a formidable enemy!"
"Zhongde, in my life, I am really destined to be a widower. It's the same with Xiao Taotao, and it's the same with my little boss. I don't accept this fate! Besides, one day I'm unlucky and I get stabbed again. Cross your legs. In this world, there is at least one little boss who knows how to beat Di Gou, right?"
"Little Taotao and I were so accurate back then. He finally came out, hehe."
The old counselor sighed and was silent for a moment.
"Just wait, if you don't retreat in the winter, the little crybaby will have to cry for two more years. He is just a coward who hides his clumsiness, kills his father and brother, and goes to hell as soon as possible to atone for his sins."
…
"Hachi!"
Riding on the horse, Dong Wen suddenly sneezed.
"The weather is getting colder, so please take care of yourself, my lord."
"I know." Dong Wen rubbed his nose, frowned, and looked coldly at the battle ahead.
It has been two days in a row, and no matter how intensive the attack is, there is still no sign of victory.
The battle against the enemy was brutal, and nearly 10,000 Xiqiang people were killed or injured. Several Xiqiang chiefs were already cursing.
"King Liang, it's freezing cold, it's time to retreat!" King Fu Xun, wearing a golden felt helmet, came anxiously on horseback. If the fight continues, I don’t know how many more warriors from the Fuxun tribe will die.
Dong Wen's face was expressionless, "King Fu Xun, have you forgotten your clan's long-cherished wish? If you want to step into the Central Plains, then this is the best opportunity."
King Fu Xun looked hesitant. The land in the Central Plains is fertile. Compared with the Gobi Desert, living in an oasis is much better.
He didn't want to, but the defenders of Lucheng were too stable. After attacking for two days, there was no sign of breaking the city. Instead, there were corpses piled up in several layers under the city ravine.
"King Liang, you also know that there will probably be heavy snowfall soon——"
Dong Wen's face turned cold for a moment, "If Lucheng cannot be captured in three days, I will naturally return to Liangzhou."
King Fu Xun was silent for a while and did not persuade him again.
"Notify the entire army to push up all the siege equipment and make sure to break open the city gate!"
It seemed that the fighting became more and more fierce. In the area around the north gate of Lucheng, rocks and arrows were thrown everywhere. Some people were hit by arrows from time to time, either when the phalanx exploded in the siege of the city, or among the defenders at the top of the city, they rolled down.
"Danggunsu!"
The tree roots covered with iron teeth rolled over them, and a Xiqiang phalanx that had attacked the city was instantly crushed and lost its armor.
"City ladder, take the city ladder over first! Use flying arrows to cover it!" A Xiqiang chief shouted, holding up his sword and shield.
Before he finished shouting, several arrows were shot from the city wall, and he died on the spot with a mournful cry.
From a high position, the power of the flying arrows became more and more fierce. Under the command of an old Shuzhou general, he tried his best to block the enemy troops approaching the city.
"My lord, Ryoto's well is coming."
Jinglan is a mobile arrow tower. Although it moves very slowly, when it is close to the city gate, the power of long-range shots is extremely terrifying.
"How many seats?" Xu Mu frowned.
"About five."
Dong Wen tried his best to pile up all the siege equipment. It can be seen that they will not give up until Lucheng is destroyed.
Without any hesitation, Xu Mu ordered coldly.
"Tell the garrison at the top of the city to use the heavy crossbow and wait until the well is close, then shoot the fire cloth over it."
Fire cloth is a curtain soaked in fire oil. Unlike fire oil tanks, the area covered will be larger. It is usually rolled up into a roll, and then slowly hangs down after the iron crossbow has penetrated, soaking the enemy's artifacts.
On the battlefield, the wisdom of the ancients has always emerged in endlessly.
"My lord, I have the order."
"Wait a minute." Xu Mu suddenly spoke again, "The reserve camp under the messenger city will be divided into hundreds of cavalry, waiting in the middle of the city to deliver the message. The other three city gates, no matter how big or small, if there is any change in the Liang army's offensive, they will You must come and report to this king.”
Again, Dong Wen may be violent, but he is by no means a mediocre general. Xu Mu was worried that Dong Wen would have a backup plan. If the fight continues like this, he will naturally have nothing to fear. He only needs to hold on until the winter snow covers Dong Wen and he will have to retreat.
The ability to defend is nothing more than the cover of water and earth. No matter what kind of offensive, as long as it can be resolved, it will be safe.
"My lord, a letter from the military advisor." Just as Xu Mu was thinking, suddenly, Gong Dog came over in a hurry.
After receiving the letter, Xu Mu couldn't wait to open it. He only glanced at it for a few times, and his face gradually became silent. Many times, he didn't want his military strategists to take risks deep into enemy territory.
"Lord, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xu Mu took a breath, and his face suddenly darkened, "Longbow, take your divine bow camp, wait until the well fence is close, and it will be wet with kerosene, and shoot the fire arrow immediately!"
"Be careful. The power of long-distance shots from the well cannot be underestimated."
Gong Gou had no fear on his face, he just held his fists high and said five words, "Xu Changgong takes orders!"
…
Not long after, Dong Wen shouted angrily when he saw the first well from a distance and it was covered by fire before he could show off his evil for a long time.
He had thought that although the well gate would be destroyed, he only needed to protect the soldiers who ascended first, and it would be considered a success. But who would have thought that as soon as he started, he would be stopped by the commoner thief.
"Lord, if not, push the well lantern back first."
"If you don't need it, just use it as a diversion."
In an instant, Dong Wen's face showed a trace of ruthlessness, and he summoned a confidant.
"Take my token and inform the ambushing army twenty miles away to attack at the west gate! We must fight quickly to catch the Shu dog off guard!"
