Half a day later, under the city of Huangxian County, the seat of Donglai County, thousands of soldiers lined up, and Zhou Tai walked to the front of the city with a sword, "I am Zhou Tai, the governor of Jiangdong Navy, and the guards in the city dare to come out to see."
"I am Donglai's too guarded and in charge, the black guy outside the city, you are the general under Liu Qi's account in Jiangdong, General Hu Ben advised you to leave earlier, if it is a moment at night, don't blame General Ben for leading the army out of the city and killing these stragglers under your command."
Zhou Tai glanced at the city coldly, "The unknown person in charge, my Zhou Tai is in the Jiangdong Army, and General Taishi Ci of Qingzhou has also spoken to each other, and he has also praised the martial arts of this general, I don't know how the spear in your hand is better than General Taishi."
At the head of the city of "Tai Shi Ci", most of the soldiers recruited by Qingzhou were originally following Yuan Tan to cross the river to the south and capture Qingzhou, but now most of them are fighting in Langya and Jiangdong Army, how can the local people not know the name of Tai Shi Ci.
"Commander, you don't want to be obsessed, the east army of Wujiang is advancing in the north and south, with an army of 100,000 troops on land and water, and there are more cavalry battalions under the command of General Taishi to help, if you are willing to surrender, you are still this Donglai Taishou, wait for me to be the lord, and I can also get a military merit for you."
Guan Tong's eyes flashed, "Zhou Tai, don't humiliate me, if you want to take the city, you will attack it." ” Zhou Tai glanced at him coldly, turned around, withdrew two hundred steps outside the city gate, and ordered the sergeant to sit on the ground and rest.
The management was not clear, but he did not dare to leave, and ordered the people in the city to come to help, at this moment the defenders in the city were only two thousand foot soldiers, and outside the city there were five or six thousand people in Zhou Tai alone.
The difference in strength between the enemy and us is too great, even if the commander intends to hold on to this city and resist to the end, it is extremely difficult.
What's more, this is the Jiangdong Army, such as today's victorious army, and Liu Qi, the king of Wu, and Tai Shi Ci, the general of Jiangdong, are from Qingzhou, and these days, this matter has been more or less circulating in the city.
The authorities had already ordered it to be stopped, but they couldn't stop it.
After more than an hour, many wooden carts arrived outside the city one after another, and ladders were quickly assembled outside the city, and the sergeants outside the city also stood up and began to line up.
"General, the enemy army is preparing to attack the city."
Guan Tong glanced around, "Order, hold the head of the city, there must be no loss, the soldiers are killed, then the people are on top, stab Shi Xinzhong, and order the general to guard Donglai, if there is a loss, this will be a capital crime, and you should also be beheaded." ” "Whoa."
The morale of the city has increased greatly, and many soldiers have tightened their blades in their hands.
However, after waiting for another hour, the enemy army outside the city still did not attack the city.
It was not long before they saw another group of carts and horses arriving outside the city, this time with a number of bed crossbows and catapults.
"The Jiangdong Army landed in warships in the north, and it even carried so many bed crossbows and catapults" Guan Tong's face was solemn, even if he was stationed in the north all the year round, he had heard the siege weapons of the Jiangdong Army.
"Taishou doesn't know, this time the Jiangdong Army has more than 500 warships going north, each warship is loaded with sergeants, grain and grass, even if the equipment used in the water war is removed, one catapult and two bed crossbows can be left, and more than 500 ships, there are more than 500 catapults and more than 1,000 bed crossbows."
Guan Tong was shocked when he heard this, "But the assassin has ordered General Wen Chou to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to rush to help, how dare the Jiangdong army fight with our army, if it continues to delay, the small cities in the coastal counties are not enough to resist our army's counterattack, Huangxian is the most important thing in Donglai, how can they deliberately delay the siege of the city" The scribe who followed him shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed outside the city, "General, Ru Wu still ordered the sergeants at the head of the city to retreat for the time being, the Jiangdong army did not prepare too many stone bullets, but there are always arrows, if they are given an hour or two to mine stone bullets, I am afraid that this Huang County will not be able to hold it." ” Guan Tong gritted his teeth, "I have been stabbed by Shi Daen, and I would rather die than surrender." ” A quarter of an hour later, the head of the city was baptized by a rain of arrows, looking at the stone wall with arrows like beams, hiding in the city wall at the road with a terrifying face, at this moment the five hundred soldiers who stayed at the head of the city fell directly more than 100 people, not waiting for him to order the people to go up to collect the corpses and save the wounded soldiers, the bowstring outside the city sounded again.
In one hour, all the arrows used in the twenty wave bed crossbows were shot outside the city, and just as the management was relieved, the hundreds of catapults outside the city had begun to throw stone projectiles.
This time, even the city wall road is always suffering from the baptism of stone bullets, and it can't be stopped at all.
Guan Tong witnessed a sergeant holding a shield being smashed into the body by a stone bullet, and his flesh and blood were blurred and turned into a puddle of flesh.
Within a few steps, he had found seven or eight corpses, and if he hadn't been escorted by dozens of guards, he would have followed in the footsteps of these people.
"During the battle of Guandu, how powerful the catapults of the Cao army were, I never thought that now the catapults of the Jiangdong Army are even more powerful, and those catapults are thrown two hundred steps outside the city, and they can also be smashed into the city, covering the city wall roads and streets behind the city gate."
"General, the moat has been filled, and the enemy army has begun to attack the city with ladders."
"Quick, order the sergeant, immediately go to the city and defend it."
Soon, Guan Tong led people to repel a wave of attacks, and one or two hundred corpses fell under the city, and after the Jiangdong army retreated from the moat, the stone bullets outside the city once again baptized the city.
Guan Tong looked at the corpses piled up on the city wall, and the expression on his whole face was a little solemn.
"General, the Jiangdong Army outside the city is attacking the city again."
The commander was helpless, and stepped forward with his gun, "Go, kill the enemy army." ” For more than a dozen waves in a row, it was getting late, and Guan Tong held the battlements of the city wall with his hand and looked around, "How many sons are left in our army?"
"Returning to the general, there are only more than 600 warriors."
The commander looked at the sergeants who had gathered again outside the city, and "the enemy army was tireless" "Order, give all the money in the treasury to the people who defend the city, give them armor, if the armor in the treasury is insufficient, then take it off the corpse of the previous robe and put it on for them, and go to the city together, and fight to the death."
"Whoa."
When the sergeant left, Guan Tong also saw a rain of arrows shooting from under the city wall, he squatted down almost without hesitation, and naturally someone behind him raised a shield to cover him, and the sound of arrows hitting the "bell bell" above his head continued, until more than a dozen breaths later, he heard a rapid wheezing sound, looking for a black shadow that appeared at the battlement outside the city, raised his hand and stabbed out directly.
"Bell."
However, the shot did not hit the enemy, and when Guan looked out of the city with a shocked face, a large knife had fallen on top of his head.
The "Qiang" knife and gun collided in one place, and the whole person was thrown backwards, smashing heavily on the inner city wall, and when he landed, he only felt that the muscles and bones in his body were no longer his own, and when he struggled to get up, a long knife had fallen to his neck.
"The main general has been captured by me, and you will be captured before you can tie your hands."
With Zhou Tai shouting, the sergeants fighting on the city wall all subconsciously stopped their movements and looked back.
Half an hour later, the Huangxian County Government was occupied by Zhou Tai, and he coldly glanced at the management of the oil and salt and ordered him to be sent to the prison for custody.
Early the next morning, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin spread everywhere, and dozens of cities in more than ten counties of Donglai County were actually looking at the wind and falling within two days.
At the same time, twenty miles away, the cavalry of the brigade wearing iron armor was also rushing towards Donglai County, and the banner of the word "Wen" in the cool summer breeze was waving in the wind, and it was detected by the Jiangdong Army sentry cavalry from a long distance.
Wen Chou, here it is:
