Qin Yangming heard a shout from the city wall of Dongliang County, and said in a low voice, "What are they calling?"
Yang Xian said: "They seem to be saying that they have occupied Dongluocang. ” Qin Yangming frowned, and Zhai Xian said on the side: "General, it should be deliberately disturbing our army's morale, how can they have the strength to divide their manpower to attack Dongluocang." ” Yang Xian said: "Yes, even if they attack Dongluocang, they can't break through the strong walls of Dongluocang, General Chang Fanqi is a fierce general, how can he be defeated so easily." ” Qin Yangming thought to himself, taking advantage of their attack on Dongliang County, Hu Xiaotian sent troops and horses to attack Dongluocang, this possibility they had already considered, because of this, he let Chang Fanqi garrison Dongluocang out of prudence, Qin Yangming tried to be invulnerable with his troops, although he thought that the possibility of Hu Xiaotian sending troops to Dongluocang was very small, but he still did enough defensive measures.
Hearing the shouts of the other soldier, Qin Yangming's state of mind was somewhat affected, Dongluocang is one of the seven granaries of Dayong, and its important strategic position is undoubted, he, the Shaoyuan guard, one of the most important duties and responsibilities is to help each other with Dongluocang.
Of course, Qin Yangming knew what it would mean to lose Dongluocang, but he was afraid that even he wouldn't be able to keep his head, after a moment of silence, Qin Yangming decisively ordered the siege of the city, and the team began to advance in the direction of Dongluocang, when he walked into the opponent's attack range, Yu Tianxing on the city tower waved the red pennant in his hand, and the small flag flew in the snowflakes, like a cluster of beating bright flames, this cluster of flames announced that the defensive battle of Dongliang County had officially begun, and four trebuchets arranged at the corners of the city wall started to launch, The boulder was thrown into the gray sky by the trebuchet, and the beautiful and crystalline snowflake elves dodged the boulder's menacing attack path, and the boulder turned into a small black dot in the gray sky, and then fell rapidly from the highest point due to the pull of gravity.
Yongjun saw this attack from the sky.
They all retreated to both sides, and there were still dozens of soldiers who had not escaped to be hit by the boulders, and their flesh and blood flew sideways, splashing shocking beauty on the white and endless snow, looking down from the sky, like clusters of blood-colored plum blossoms blooming on the surface.
Seven catapults.
Four devices are installed on the city wall, and three are installed in the city, such a combination can carry out medium and long-range strikes, although the catapult is powerful, but after all, each attack needs a certain amount of time, and even if it can cause the enemy to inflict casualties, its number is nothing more than a drop in the bucket compared to the total number of enemy troops, and it is impossible to shake the foundation of the Yongjun army.
The Yong army was rapidly approaching the city wall and advancing to the moat.
Pushing the bridge car to the shore and temporarily building bridges on the moat, the Yongjun bravely crossed the bridge car and rushed to the opposite bank.
A siege crossbow accurately hit the bridgecars, destroying one of them, but many more reached the riverbank.
The Yongjun crossed the moat like a tidal wave and rushed under the city walls.
The spy sent to inquire about the situation came to Qin Yangming's side, and there was no need to pay a full salute on the battlefield, he bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "General."
Just after receiving the exact battle report, Dongluocang was attacked by the Kang army.
At present, there are many fires, and the specific situation of the battle is ominous. ” Qin Yangming's heart sank, the last thing he wanted to happen happened after all, Hu Xiaotian really came up with a strategy with him, and when he organized a large army to attack Dongliang County, he led the army to infiltrate Dongluocang.
Attacking their strategic locations, if Dongluocang loses, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep the head of Xiang Shang.
Qin Yangming looked at Zhai Yuan to the side, Zhai Yuan knew that Qin Yangming was asking for his opinion, and said respectfully: "This is a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao."
They knew that they were unable to resist our army attacking the city, so they sent a group of men and horses to attack Dongluocang, which was garrisoned by 5,000 soldiers and horses under the command of General Chang, and I think that even if they went to attack the city, it would be impossible to attack Dongluocang for a while.
With our current situation, we can take Dongliang County in three hours at most, and then gather superior forces to support Dongluocang. ” Qin Yangming's eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a low voice: "That Hu Xiaotian is scheming, I don't know how many people have been dispatched to attack Dongluocang. ” Zhai Yuandao: "According to the information we have, he will send a maximum of 10,000 people to attack Dongluocang, and it is impossible to have more." ” Qin Yangming pursed his lips, isn't 10,000 people already more than twice as many as in Dongluocang, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if Hu Xiaotian really broke through the city gate of Dongluocang, then even if he occupied Dongliang County, he would not be able to offset this sin, you must know that the grain, grass and materials stored in Dongluocang provide supplies for the entire southeast line of Dayong, if Dongluocang is broken, it means that all the cities in their southeast, including the water divisions along the Yongjiang River, will face the dilemma of running out of military rations.
Qin Yangming pondered again and again, turned to the deputy general Yang Xian and said: "Yang Xian, you immediately go and inform Huang Xincheng, suspend the plan to attack the East Gate, and immediately return to Dongluocang for assistance, you must ensure that Dongluocang is foolproof." ” "Yes" Zhai Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard Qin Yangming's decision, Qin Yangming was too conservative, the city wall of Dongluocang was first-class strong, and Chang Fanqi, the defender of Dongluocang, had the courage of ten thousand people, even if there were only five thousand people, as long as they stuck to the city and did not come out, even if the other party had ten times the strength, they would not be able to break through the gate of Dongluocang for a while, they should gather superior forces to take Dongliang County first, how could they change their plans and weaken the offensive on this side, so the result of the transfer of troops would inevitably greatly reduce the attack power, The siege plan, which was originally planned to end in three hours, is likely to be greatly extended.
Zhai Yuan's worries are not superfluous, after Huang Chengcheng received Qin Yangming's order, he immediately led 15,000 soldiers to evacuate, and immediately returned to Dongluocang, Huang Chengxin is the deputy commander stationed in Dongluocang, for him, the significance of Dongluocang is obviously much more important than Dongliang County, this time he came to attack Dongliang County is to cooperate with Qin Yangming's military operations, and the first credit for winning Dongliang County must be recorded on Qin Yangming's head, but if Dongluocang makes a mistake, he and Chang Fanqi will definitely lose their heads.
Huang Chengcheng knows Chang Fanqi's temperament very well, and knows that although this main general is superior in force, he has an impulsive temperament, and if he misjudges the situation and makes a wrong choice, it is likely to lead to irreparable mistakes.
Therefore, Huang Chengcheng had no objection to the rescue of the return, and set off immediately after receiving the order.
Yu Tianxing saw that the Dongmen Yongjun had just launched an attack and began to retreat, knowing that his own strategy had begun to work, he secretly admired Hu Xiaotian's foresight and wisdom in his heart, and it was Hu Xiaotian's idea to spread the news of the attack on Dongluocang in advance.
Yu Tianxing didn't know, in fact, there were other people who thought of this idea.
Liang Yinghao made a gesture, pointing upward, above is the location of the exit, according to the distance of walking, they have successfully entered the hinterland of Dongluocang, ten soldiers put together the I-shaped iron beam they carry, soon became an escalator, Liang Yinghao went up the escalator, after being sure that there was no movement above, he slowly moved the stone slab above.
They were the first to climb up, and they climbed up one by one, and it was supposed to be a stable, full of sewage and mud, and though it was a little dirty, but it was convenient to disguise their secrets.
Liang Yinghao unfolded a piece of parchment, quickly determined their location by the light of the night pearl, pointed to the east side and said: "This is a place where grain and grass are piled up, I will lead a hundred people to ignite this place, because this place is relatively isolated, the fire will not spread to other places, and after the fire is ignited, it will definitely attract the attention of the defenders in the city. ” Hu Xiaotian said in a low voice: "Is a hundred people enough?"
Liang Yinghao said: "Enough, our main task is to attract the enemy's attention, take down the city wall, and break through their defenses, and the task is in charge of the lord." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, looked up at the city wall, there are a total of eight towering arrow towers on the city wall, except for the one that was destroyed by the trebuchet just now, there are still seven left, if you want to occupy the city wall, you must first take down the seven arrow towers, and the remaining nine hundred people are divided into nine teams, and the seven teams led by Zhan Peng sneaked into the city wall respectively, and strive to take down the seven arrow towers in the first time, and the remaining two hundred people are responsible for blocking and killing the enemy along the way under the personal leadership of Hu Xiaotian.
Several people agreed to take action as soon as the fire broke out.
When they parted, another boulder fell on the stable, the stable partially collapsed, and the sand and snow flew everywhere, but fortunately they didn't hit their own people by mistake, it seems that Zhu Ba and the two thousand beggars are still manipulating the trebuchet to continue to launch long-range attacks.
Chang Fanqi led three thousand soldiers and horses out of Dongluocang to advance at full speed towards the hill on the west side, they had already judged that the attack was sent from above the hill, Chang Fanqi held the Zhangba snake spear in his hand, the roots of the red hair and beard were erected, and the murderous aura in the strange eyes, the red rabbit horse under the crotch galloped on the snow like chasing the wind and lightning, like a flame passing through the snowy night.
A beggar in charge of looking out for the wind came to Zhu Ba out of breath: "There are about 3,000 people coming to us at the west gate of Dongluocang, the master of the newspaper hall."
Zhu Ba nodded and said, "Evacuate Liu Wu and Jia Liu, the two of you will take twenty brothers to break off, and when they enter the mountains and forests, they will set fire, and the rest will go to Dongluocang immediately with me." ” "Yes" Suddenly the fire burst from the northeast side of the Dongluocang and caught fire in the hay storehouse, not far from the stables, which was used to provide winter fodder for the horses, and was one of the eight forage yards inside the Dongluocang.
The fire and smoke immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers defending the city, who hurriedly mobilized their men to rush to the place where the fire started.
