"Crush Liancheng!"
Under the bursts of fire arrows, mixed with the roar of catapults, the enemy troops outside Liancheng roared over like a crazy ant colony.
The flames ignited by the oil reflected the tragic images all around.
The more than 100 Dongling civilians in the front line were about to put up the city ladder on the wall after approaching the city gate. Suddenly, a huge boulder was thrown from the city wall, instantly smashing them into pieces.
"Climb, climb first!"
"Aventurine——"
Thump thump thump.
The flying arrows from a high position, without any pause, shot down the enemy soldiers who dared to invade the city to death under the city gully.
Wrapped in a large cloak, Ling Su walked slowly, occasionally raising his head to look at the battle ahead.
"Military advisor, the Minfu camp is almost exhausted... The Shu people's defense has no flaws."
Ling Su glanced at the general who was speaking, and a rare smile appeared on his lips.
"You are wrong again. We do not wait for the enemy to reveal flaws, but we create them with our own hands. Pass my military order and ask the signal soldiers to prepare and shoot signal arrows into the sky. It is night at this time, even if they are far away Some people on Mi Hu’s side should also be able to see clearly.”
"Inform the elite battalion of 20,000 Yijia to start preparing for battle, and bring rope hooks and fire oil cans. The surviving 20,000 civilians from the battalion will select 10,000 people and put on the armor of the Cangzhou Army!"
"Also, order the stoning camp to continue stuffing corpses and throwing them."
After giving three orders in a row, Ling Su stopped speaking.
Not long after, five signal arrows suddenly exploded in the night in the sky to his side.
"It's a pity that if we can get closer to Lidu City, we can trust the arrow with the arrow."
On the top of the city of Liancheng.
Dongfang Jing raised his head and looked at the exploding signal arrow quietly, with a deep worry between his brows.
…
"Three long and two short, it's Commander Ling's signal arrow!" Mi Hu, who was in the forest, suddenly showed a look of ecstasy on his face.
Behind him, more than 20,000 Shanyue old and weak people who had been bewitched were also ready to go.
"Quick, pick up the sword and bow!" Mi Hu's face became more and more excited.
"This time we kill people from the mountain. Not only do we want to take revenge, but we also want to make our reputation as a camp leader in Dongling Mountain famous all over the world again!"
"Kill, kill down the mountain!"
"Roar!"
The long group of 20,000 people, relying on their familiarity with the mountains and forests, quickly rushed down the mountain pass.
"Fu Gong!"
When they got close to the mountain pass, under Mi Hu's order, he quickly shot and killed several patrolling defenders.
"Mihu, look ahead, there are quite a few Sichuan dogs!"
During the charge, Mi Hu rubbed his eyes, and sure enough, he found that near the walled city at Xiashankou, under the cover of night, one after another black shadows were coldly waiting in formation.
"Kill the Shu people!"
At the west gate of Liancheng City, which had not yet been affected by the war, several figures on horseback quickly entered the city. After the announcement, a city guard general hurriedly went up to the city.
The war was going on in the north, and their little military advisor Dongfang Jing was looking intently outside the city.
"Military advisor, the Dongling people have lost their food supply."
Listening, Dongfang Jing frowned and turned back.
"Shanyue people?"
"It seems so, but the scouts who reported back said that these Shanyue people are all old and weak."
"Zuo Shiren has done everything he can."
"Military advisor, what should we do now?"
"Ignore it, collect the patrols outside the city and close the west gate immediately." Dongfang Jing said calmly.
General Pi was startled and said, "Military advisor, if this happens, these people will go in the direction of Lidu City for no reason."
"I have my own arrangements."
Earlier, he had discussed something with Bi Ru, the grain inspector. At Siguan, he hoped that there would be no war. Consolidation after the war is a troublesome matter.
"Do you know the purpose of the walled city built by General Yuncheng?"
"Of course it's to stop the enemy."
Dongfang Jing smiled and said, "No, according to custom, these Shanyue people will immediately attack the stronghold after discovering it. Then they will defend it and cooperate with Ling Su to besiege Liancheng."
"Military advisor, naturally..."
"That's right." Dongfang Jing nodded, "A group of old and weak troops, except for some forestry skills, can't make any splash."
"I thought about it, and the Yinlin outside the city almost used all the strategies at once. Secret tactics, attacking from the east and west, and flanking attacks. I don't know, there will be other back-up moves."
"But I heard a saying from my teacher, no matter what tactics the enemy uses. As long as you are steady as a rock and can be blocked by soldiers, it will slowly melt away."
Turning his face, Dongfang Jing's expression was neither sad nor happy. It was as if the news brought by the scouts was a joke.
"Ling Su will use all means during this night attack."
…
"kill!"
The more than 5,000 Shanyue camp was almost completely wiped out. But even so, Liancheng's city top was still not climbed first. Ma Yi led his men and fought hard to defend, calmly repelling wave after wave of enemies.
At the front line of Dongling, Ling Su, wrapped in a large cloak, half-squinted his eyes, and only gave the order coldly when he saw the defeat of Minfu Camp.
"Inform the stoning camp, city assault vehicles, ladders and well railings. There is no need to worry about battle losses. All lines are pressed."
"Instruct the elite battalion of 20,000 Yijia to use the cover of baggage to form a square formation and rush to Liancheng immediately!"
Under Ling Su's order.
Soon, racks of siege equipment finally showed their shadows in the night. Under the push, they pressed towards Liancheng step by step.
"What's going on, the mausoleum is going to risk its life?" On top of the city, Ma Yi smiled instead of angry, and his whole person became more full of fighting spirit.
But before he could finish speaking, several more signal arrows exploded into the sky outside the city.
This time, even Dongfang Jing couldn't help but look sideways.
If Ling Su were to attack, there would be no problem in defending Liancheng. But obviously, just now, some old and weak people from Shanyue Camp had appeared.
What kind of reinforcements are these signal arrows?
"Come here, tell Ma Yi for me. I don't need to pay attention to other matters. I will leave the defense of the south gate of Liancheng to him. In addition, let him be more calm. In this night attack, be careful of Ling Su's arrogant tactics. .”
"San'er, push me to Ximen."
Dongfang Jing frowned.
Just waiting for the guard San'er, pushing the wooden wheel cart, they just got off the city wall. But he never thought that there would be another scout coming hurriedly at the west gate.
"Military advisor, I'm so happy! As expected by the military advisor, the Shanyue people, old and weak, led their men into the two cities in order to defend and cooperate. But General Ma Yi buried a lot of kerosene and Yi in the walls. Just wait for the burning thing to be lit, and many enemy soldiers will be burned to death in one go!"
Dongfang Jing smiled, "Be glad it didn't rain."
In fact, he didn't know about Ling Su's plan originally. He made such preparations as an insurance policy. I never thought that Ling Su was really cunning.
"The remaining Shanyue camp troops were in chaos. Without the stronghold to defend the city, they could only retreat to the woods on both sides of the official road."
"Understood, tell the Ximen defenders to be careful that the Shanyue people will build city ladders and climb up first." Dongfang Jing nodded. These Shanyue people will not retreat, but without large siege equipment, it is impossible to capture the west gate.
Assuming that Lingsu was using a strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west, then these old and weak Shanyue people would be in trouble as the main attacker.
Just as Dongfang Jing was still thinking, suddenly, there was a burst of commotion in the direction of Ximen.
Suddenly, a bad premonition arose in Dongfang Jing's mind.
"San'er, go to Ximen quickly."
Several personal guards quickly pushed the wooden cart and carried Dongfang Jing on their backs, and quickly arrived at the west gate.
When Dongfang Jing raised his head and looked outside the west gate of Liancheng, he couldn't help but shudder.
The people outside the city at this time were not Shanyue people. It is an elite army with excellent weapons and armor. But the armor on this army clearly looks like the Cangzhou Army. It is unprovoked, and it reminds people of how much suffering the Demon Queen's troops suffered during the siege of Cangzhou last year.
The defenders at Ximen, one by two, looked incredible. No wonder it suddenly caused bursts of commotion.
"Quick, send someone to tell Ma Yi immediately that Yi Jia of the Dongling Army has disguised himself as the Cangzhou Army and is preparing to attack from the east to the west and capture Liancheng!"
Dongfang Jing looked lucky. If he had arrived a little later and waited for the news of the Cangzhou Army's appearance to reach the south gate, the commotion would have been even more intense.
"Little military advisor, how can there be Cangzhou Army here!"
"The people of Ling changed their armor and made noises in the east to attack the west. During the turmoil, the people of Shanyue, old and weak, will join forces with this elite force to attack the west gate. If the attack is from a flank, if one is not careful, Liancheng will not be protected——"
Before he finished speaking, Dongfang Jing suddenly fell into thinking again and frowned for a long time.
…
"I said before that the lame man must have thought that this was a plan to attack the east and attack the west. But in fact, Wu Ling Qide was trying to attack the east and attack the east."
"Send the order, the entire army presses towards Liancheng!"
