"Order Li Er to lead his troops to surround the south gate, spread his wings to surround the east gate, Guqin unified his troops to surround the north gate, and Ding Feng to lead his troops to set up thunder cannons outside the north gate."
"Yes!" The messenger hurried away on horseback. Liu Chan looked at Wei County in front of him, thinking about the battle plan in his mind.
As for Hu Li, he has led his cavalry team and has quietly detoured around the road five miles west of the city to ambush. If the enemy troops escape from the west gate, they will be ambushed and pursued.
Compared with Cungu, the rammed earth city wall in Wei County looks much stronger.
Even if the thunder cannon is powerful, it will be difficult to bring down the city wall in one day.
If the enemy is vulnerable to a single blow and his will to fight quickly disintegrates, it is a real fight.
If you can still resist stubbornly, then today will be a test and a feint attack.
When the army was lined up, Huo Lai at the top of the city was like his uncle who only offered one strategy after the war and had a 100% adoption rate. He saw four big guys gradually forming from behind the enemy's formation.
"Let go!" Following Ding Feng's order, the thunder cannon unleashed its power again.
boom!
The boulders hit the city wall, not only making the defenders unsteady on their feet, but also shocking them inexplicably.
"...I see." Huo Lai finally knew why Cunjian was taken down so quickly.
Not only did he not lose his fighting spirit like Yong Jie, but he felt relieved.
There was no calling for wind and rain, no meteors falling from the sky, and the rumors were all false.
As long as Liu Chan really has inhuman abilities that transcend the heavens and the earth, he will still be able to fight!
"Don't panic!" Huo Lai shouted loudly, "That kid Liu Chan doesn't have three heads and six arms. This thing is just a more powerful stone-throwing cart. The city wall can't collapse. Just hold it steady...hold it!"
Another boulder hit the wall. Huo Lai, who was shouting, lost his balance and almost sat on the ground.
But although he was embarrassed, he had no intention of going down to the city. He still stood at the top of the city wearing armor and took risks to defend the city together with the soldiers.
The general was brave enough to be a soldier. Although he still couldn't hide the fear in his heart, seeing that the general was still standing at the top of the city, everyone finally stabilized their position and did not flee in a hurry.
Although the bows and arrows could not hit the opponent, and they had no means of counterattack in the face of the boulder attack, the soldiers who had withstood the initial panic and fear still kept their bows on guard to prevent the enemy from fully attacking the city.
Five rounds of shelling were fired, but the enemy showed no sign of retreat.
There were many dents and occasional cracks on the rammed earth city wall, but it was obviously as he had previously estimated that it would be difficult to break through the city in one day.
It would be okay if each boulder shot could hit the same location, but let alone the thunder cannon, the Italian cannon was not that accurate.
"A common man in the city! You have caused trouble to one side and brought disaster to the people. You are committing a heinous crime! If you open the city and surrender now, you can avoid additional casualties and still save your life. Why not surrender early?" Liu Chance, who had suspended the bombardment, immediately stepped forward and pointed his spear at the city head. Drink to.
【Trigger of drinking stop】
The words "why not surrender early" buzzed in the ears of the defenders on the city, and many timid soldiers even couldn't help but take a step back.
Huo Lai was also frightened and wanted to yell and curse a few words to boost his morale, but when the words came to his lips, he did not have the courage to spit them out.
"...Fire the arrow!" He was so suppressed that his face almost turned red. Under the influence of the drink-stopping characteristic, he finally did not dare to curse.
The soldiers suppressed their fear and fired a round of arrows, but it was already difficult to open the bow and fire the arrows. They didn't care where the arrows went.
Liu Chan deflected a stray arrow flying toward his horse and calmly rode back.
"It seems that the Yong family's subordinates are not all cowards."
When the attempt to persuade them to surrender failed, the thunder cannon was fired again.
Soon a messenger came to report: "Report to the prince, generals Zhang and Li request to lead troops to attack the city and kill the generals first for the prince!"
Liu Chan smiled when he heard this, but waved his hand and said, "No."
Looking at the messengers leaving in a hurry, he could already imagine the urgency of the two of them.
They were anxious, and Huo Lai was even more anxious.
The enemy did not board the city, but bombarded the city wall from outside the range. However, the stone bullets were extremely powerful. If this continued... how could they hold on for a long time?
The soldiers have been passively being beaten, but they have no way to fight back. The morale they finally built up will collapse again if this continues.
If he didn't want to surrender, there weren't many other options before him. He could either give up defending the city temporarily and lead his troops to attack the enemy in the north of the city, trying to destroy those weird stone-making carts.
Either abandon the city and run away, but there will be an ambush in the west of the city, or you can escape with a way out, but you will definitely suffer heavy losses.
In the end, they couldn't hold on, but even if they took advantage of the enemy's withdrawal to repair the city wall overnight, it would only delay the destruction of the city, waiting for the main force who still didn't know where it was.
After thinking about it, Huo Lai gritted his teeth and climbed down the city wall.
The second rule is don’t think about it, stick to it or fight, this is a difficult choice.
If he had any way of killing the enemy, he would not hesitate to stand and wait for reinforcements.
But now...
"Everyone, the enemy's stone chariots are powerful. If you follow a certain person out of the city to fight and burn it down, there is still a way to survive!" All the way to the soldiers' station in the city, he finally made this difficult decision.
The reserve troops stationed in the city have not yet rotated with the garrison at the top of the city. They have not seen the enemy's strength with their own eyes, nor have they seen the thunder cannon in action. Their morale is still good.
At this time, when he heard what Huo Lai said, the generals and soldiers led by the Huo family's private soldiers all shouted for battle. The other soldiers also shouted loudly when they saw this, and he felt a little more courageous when he saw this.
"Okay! If you can destroy the car and return it today, our Huo family will never treat you badly! If you violate this word, you will be treated like this!" Huo Lai said and pulled out his sword, "Hey——!"
Holding the sword in his right hand, he used all his strength to slash at the spine of the sword, and the sword broke with a sound.
"I am willing to go to war with the general!"
Huo Lai personally led a thousand defenders, plus a thousand private soldiers of his Huo family, fought out from the north gate and rushed straight to the Lei Gong artillery position.
Huo Lai led the way, holding a horse spear, and looked a bit more like a general than Yong Jie, who was holding a horse.
"Well done, plenty of money!"
"My subordinate is here."
"Form up a formation to defend against the enemy, protect the Lei Gong artillery formation, and go to meet him alone."
"yes!"
Liu Chan, who likes to carry a bamboo-jointed iron spear and has never tried it before, clamps his legs on the horse's belly, Wu Zui raises his hooves and runs straight towards Na Huo Lai.
[Death to Survive] has been activated since Liu Chan entered Nanzhong.
At this time, another prompt appears below the field of view.
[Triggered alone]
[Physique increased to the body of an overlord]
[The talent of a long soldier rises to the level of a peerless genius]
[Equestrian talent rises to the level of a peerless genius]
Although Huo Lai had heard about Liu Chan for a long time, he had never seen him kill the enemy with his own eyes. At this time, seeing Liu Chan coming alone, he was still lucky.
Even if he is defeated, Huo Ziyi has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he will not be defeated in one move, right?
Duanhe's blow to him had recovered, and with the soldiers behind him, Huo Lai became bolder again.
"Death to the man!"
"Hmph! Little Liu Chan, stop being so arrogant! Hey!"
Huo Lai stabbed him, and Liu Chan easily deflected the stab with a flick of his spear.
Immediately, he swung the dragon's tail, and with the roar of the wind, the spear struck straight at Huo Lai's head!
Huo Lai felt a strong force that made his palms numb, and he could hardly hold the weapon. He also heard the evil wind roaring in his ears, and he hurriedly raised his pole to block.
Click!
In order to minimize casualties, Liu Chan patiently only used stone cannons to bombard him, and he held it in for a long time.
This blow was subconsciously done with all the strength, and the iron spear shaft struck the horse's shaft, and the shaft broke with the sound!
The big iron rod continued to hit Huo Lai's horrified head...
boom!
There was a muffled sound, and Huo Lai was directly opened... His head burst open, blood spattered, Huo Lai's body straightened up, and the horse on his crotch, carrying the owner with the split head, passed by Liu Chan's Wu Zhui.
"Ah this..." Liu Chan himself was stunned for a moment.
He originally wanted to knock the enemy general unconscious with one move, but when he missed his horse, he captured him alive.
However, the effect was slightly different from Prince Liu's expectations.
"It was a mistake. It seems that if you want to master the new weapon well, you need more practice..."
However, in the eyes of the enemy soldiers, this scene was too terrifying.
The cavalry officers who were close to him were very excited, and they all turned their horses to avoid this murderous god, but they were a little confused for a moment.
The general died as soon as they joined together... What should they do?
"Kill——!" Qian Duo, who led his troops into formation, had no such hesitation. Seeing the prince showing his power, he immediately ordered a charge.
The prince delayed in giving the order to attack the city, so the wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers couldn't wait for a long time. They immediately rushed towards the enemy like tigers coming out of the gate...
Not only outside the city, but also inside the city, after Huo Lai led his troops and set off, a group of fierce men armed with daggers and daggers also gathered near the east gate.
"Brother, should we take action?"
The leader stood out from the crowd in terms of both imposing manner and physique. At this moment, he stared at the east gate defenders and waved his hand, leading them to sneak past...
