Chapter 753: The Wolf Is Coming (Part II)


The two brothers of the Cheng family listened to the shouts from the city from a distance, laughed happily, and shouted that they were ready to attack the city immediately.

Li Muyun shook his head and rejected the suggestion of the two: "Now is not the best time to attack the city, wait and see." ” Cheng Chumo was a little depressed: "Wait a little longer, wait until three days, and the old monster will come up to rob your wife."

Is this talking about human words, Li Muyun rolled his eyes, it seems that there is still a difference between pretending to be muddy and being really muddy, no matter how hard you try the day after tomorrow, you can't catch up with this thing.

Li Dejian took over the conversation on the side: "Wait another day, let the news spread more widely, today's lesson should be enough." ” Cheng Chuliang naturally stood on his eldest brother's side, staring at him with big eyes: "I really don't understand what you're waiting for, what a great opportunity tonight, wouldn't it be nice to attack it in one go." ” "Okay, don't fight anymore, we don't even have siege equipment at hand, you don't want to climb to the top of the city empty-handed, right?"

Seeing that there would be no result if he continued to fight, Li Muyun waved his hand and turned around and returned to the camp.

What he just said was the truth, as a vanguard army, he really didn't have much to use to attack the city, even if he hurried to build it, he just cut down some trees nearby and made some ladders.

But having a ladder is not bad, it should be enough for a 20,000-strong panicked defender.

Early the next morning, the confrontation continued.

However, the defenders at the head of the city were obviously more nervous, and everyone stared nervously at the city, for fear that someone would approach.

That damn iron ball is simply unguardable, just one can hurt a large number of people, and the unlucky ones are simply a mess of rotten meat.

Several generals of Gao Chang, who were fifty or sixty years old, patrolled back and forth in the city, but their flashing eyes were enough to prove that their mood was not much better than that of those big-headed soldiers.

At their age, it was past the time to exchange their lives for meritorious deeds, thinking about the family's wealth and beautiful wives and concubines, and their feet unconsciously slowed down a little.

And at noon, when the firehead army on both sides sent food, the soil under the city was suddenly lifted, and before the defenders of the city could react, the dozens of people below threw dozens of black iron balls at the head of the city, and then ran away.

Originally, at this time, the defenders of the city should have done their best to leave the dozens of people who fled, but the black iron ball was too terrifying, and the escape was still the upper hand compared to the enemy's death.

On the third day, hundreds of human heads were hung on the head of Gaochang City, which is estimated to be the guys who escaped yesterday.

Obviously, the people of Gaochang also knew that this was not the way to go, and decided to kill the chickens and make an example.

But the high-level of Gaochang obviously didn't realize that the will of the defenders at this time was actually very fragile, and they were already full of fear of the Tang Army, and it was when they needed to boost their morale, but as a result, all the officials were gone, and they didn't let them retreat, what was going on.

Besides, the resistance at this time is actually meaningless at all, the 20,000 vanguard of the Tang Army already has such momentum, and if the main force comes up again, it will be a full 100,000.

It can't be beaten at all, not only Gaochang can't be beaten, but even if the Western Turks come up, they can't be beaten either, otherwise they won't run faster than rabbits.

In such a situation, the top brass still thought of desperate resistance, and did not consider the life or death of their soldiers, which made the morale of all the defenders almost fall to the bottom.

The wind that had been blowing for several days stopped, and the flag of Gaochang on the head of the city hung down, as if mourning for the future of Gaochang.

The defenders at the head of the city were equally listless, and from time to time they looked at the tall heads that were hanging high, and let out a sigh that they did not know whether it was to themselves or to their companions.

Under the city, the Tang army appeared again, and 20,000 people were densely piled together, so big.

However, at this time, the defenders no longer paid attention, they only cared about when and where the black iron balls were thrown.

But what they don't know is that today's situation is a little different from the past, in the Tang Dynasty's military formation, at some point there are more than a dozen simple trebuchets, and some black guys who are much bigger than the black iron balls thrown at the head of the city are piled up in the net pocket of the trebuchet.

Cheng Chumo stood in the middle of the military formation, holding a telescope and looking at the city, and saw the hundreds of heads, as well as the depressed morale of the defenders.

Li Muyun was right, the successive confrontations had made the defenders completely unconcerned about this confrontation, what they were really worried about was those black iron balls.

Even if it weren't for Li Muyun calling him to the Chinese army in the middle of the night to arrange the mission, Cheng Chumo would have thought that today would still be the same as yesterday, continue to throw dozens of grenades, and then go back to the camp to eat.

It's no wonder that it's habitual thinking or.

Forget it, don't think about it, put down the binoculars, turn your head to look at the soldiers around you.

After holding back for two days, everyone was excited, just waiting for a while to rush to kill.

Everyone said that they were going to go all the way, then they were going to decline, and then they were exhausted, and it seemed that these things had changed a little in this battle.

Obviously, they stood for two days, but everyone was not only not exhausted, but a little bursting.

Could this be the so-called agitation?

Looking back, even he, the eldest young master of the Cheng family, has a good performance and let Li Muyun, that bastard, take a good look, even if he doesn't need to plan, he can also take Gaochang City down, not to mention the big-headed soldiers below who have been standing for two days, can't be trusted, and are holding their stomachs.

Time passed little by little, the wind became lighter and lighter, and the air was full of depression.

"Knock Knock" Suddenly, a frightening drum beat came, which shook everyone's spirits.

Then, a series of whistling sounds were heard.

One hundred and ten huge black iron balls were pulled by the trebuchet, volleyed into the air and flew towards the head of Gaochang City.

I rely on this thing The Gaochang people were also alarmed by the sound of drums, and before they could react, they saw countless huge black iron balls flying up the city, either landing on the city wall or falling into the city.

At that moment, what kind of killing chickens and monkeys, what supervising the team, all of them were.

The fist-sized black iron ball can already be relied on to cause such a big destruction, and the heads of these bits thrown into the city are all big, if this is blown up, won't even a whole corpse be found Run, run away quickly, it's a big deal to stop being a soldier after escaping, as long as you don't get caught, you can still save your life.

But if you leave resistance. his uncle, Lao Tzu doesn't play anymore, even if he can block the 20,000 Tang troops out of the city, there are still 80,000 troops behind, can he still block those 80,000 people:
