Chapter 169
The stone did not hit the car. Instead, it knocked three or four soldiers operating the siege truck to the ground. It seemed that they could no longer survive.
But soon, the three or four people behind rushed forward, took over the original person's position, and controlled the siege vehicle to hit the city gate.
In another part of the battlefield, several soldiers worked together to throw down a huge boulder. The height of the drop of seven to eight meters made him quite lethal.
"careful!"
A leading soldier yelled to remind everyone, and several coalition soldiers quickly raised their shields to resist.
However, the huge boulder directly smashed the man and his shield to the ground. There was also a soldier who had no time to raise his shield. His head was smashed open and blood spurted out, causing the surrounding soldiers to subconsciously take a few steps back.
Seeing the soldiers retreating, Liu Zhi quickly shouted:
"The whole army obeys the order. Anyone who dares to retreat with this sword will be killed!"
The soldiers supervising the battle quickly stepped forward and scattered around.
Another rolling log fell. Several inexperienced soldiers had never seen this scene before. They ran back to dodge and suddenly bumped into the shield soldiers behind them.
"go back!"
The soldier supervising the battle raised his sword and widened his eyes, trying to save these new recruits.
Two of them were intimidated and ran back. The other two people were so frightened that they couldn't care less and hurriedly ran away from the battlefield.
The soldier supervising the battle glanced at Liu Zhi, who had a bad look on his face, and quickly raised his sword and cut off the two men.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding soldiers did not dare to retreat. For a time, the pressure on the city wall increased.
On top of the city tower, several Qingzhou soldiers worked together and stabbed down with a sharpened bamboo. In a few strokes, they stabbed down the person on the ladder.
But soon, new coalition soldiers came up and picked up their shields to resist, but they were swept down by the bamboo pole. He fell directly to a height of five to six meters and lost his combat effectiveness.
Another strong man came up, grabbed the bamboo pole, and used his strength to climb up, but was soon thrown off.
Taking advantage of this gap, two soldiers climbed directly to the city wall.
Many soldiers on the city wall attacked together, but the two men were killed without holding on for a single round. Their bodies were also picked up and thrown down, hitting the two people below.
The smell of blood gradually spread in Fangcheng, and the strong pressure made everyone unable to breathe.
The soldiers on the city wall killed the invaders one after another. They couldn't count how many people they killed, and they only felt that their arms were gradually losing strength. But even so, they still waved their weapons hard. Because here, laying down arms means death.
By the time the ground was covered with several layers of corpses and the sun was approaching the mountains in the west, the siege lasted for a full five hours.
On top of the city wall, coalition soldiers continued to climb up, but the number was still far less than the defenders. Every coalition soldier who came up was besieged by many Qingzhou troops.
However, the coalition soldiers who came up also held back the Qingzhou Army so that they could no longer hinder the attack of the siege vehicles below.
The city gate was already crumbling, and every impact of the siege vehicle made Qingzhou's huge city gate shake.
The coalition soldiers in the rear clenched their weapons and were ready to rush into the city at any time.
"Try harder! Anyone who breaks the city gate will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"
Liu Zhi waved the knife and roared, his voice became a little hoarse.
After hearing this, the soldiers operating the siege vehicle gained more strength, and the impact of the siege vehicle became more violent.
However, no one noticed that on a nearby mountain, Jianbai and Mengshi stood on the trunk of a big tree, looking at the entire battlefield.
This place has the best view and can take in everything on the battlefield.
Under the tree, eight hundred elite soldiers were waiting in formation.
Each of them wore armor imitating the Liang Kingdom to help them break out of the encirclement faster. Of course, in order to make it easier for them to recognize each other, each of them cleaned up their beards and lightened the color of their armor.
"Mengshi, although the Liang Kingdom and the Dashang Kingdom have united, they have not disrupted the system. The armors of the two countries are also obviously different. When we attack the camp at night, we will directly kill the Dashang Kingdom's army. "
Jian Bai squinted his eyes and observed the battle below.
They directly use the army of the Great Shang Kingdom as a breakthrough point. The army of the Great Shang Kingdom may immediately regard them as the army of the Liang Kingdom and not attack, which will make it easier to attack.
Meng Shi nodded, and he deeply agreed with what Jian Bai said. However, he asked with some doubts:
"However, the enemy has four large tents. Which one does the general think should be attacked first?"
Mengshi asked.
It has to be said that Wang Quan is still cautious enough.
In order to confuse the Qingzhou Army's attention, several large camps were set up, only one of which was real.
Jian Bai also touched his forehead. He was also very troubled by this. After all, if the attack is wrong, the opponent's defensiveness will increase, and the difficulty of the task will also increase. If they were unlucky and made three consecutive mistakes, their mission would probably not be completed.
"General Meng, which one do you think should be attacked first?"
After all, Meng Shi was a veteran general who had fought for many years, so Jian Bai decided to humbly ask for advice.
Seeing that Jian Bai actually took the initiative to seek his opinion, Meng Shi nodded. This young man is not proud because of his great achievements in the last battle. He still maintains an open-minded attitude, which is not bad.
"General Jianbai, if the four large tents are divided according to the distance from the square city, mark them as No. [-], [-], [-] and [-]. Based on my many years of experience, I think we should attack No. [-] first, and then attack No. [-]. Then No. [-], and finally attack No. [-]."
"Because No. [-] is closest to us, we can attack as quickly as possible. No. [-] is closest to No. [-]. If No. [-] is not, we can attack No. [-] as quickly as possible. The same goes for No. [-]. As for No. [-], The furthest distance, wait until you have the chance to attack again.”
Mengshi opened his mouth to explain.
Jian Bai listened to Meng Shi's analysis and nodded slightly as it made sense.
"Yes, but I think we should attack No. [-] directly."
Jian Bai stared at the big tent No. [-] that was farthest away, as if he wanted to see through that big tent.
"What? General Jianbai, if you attack the No. [-] tent, whether you can get in or not, there is no chance to attack the remaining three tents. The risk is too great!"
Meng Shi quickly spoke to dissuade him. In his opinion, attacking the No. [-] tent was simply nonsense.
However, Jian Bai did not change his mind because of this. Instead, he stared at the No. [-] tent.
"My intuition tells me that many generals of the coalition forces are in the No. [-] tent. I have made up my mind to act in the dark!"
"you!"
Mengshi really couldn't understand Jianbai's thoughts and wanted to get angry.
But seeing Jian Bai's firm eyes, he was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, he seemed to see the shadow of General Jianfeng. It seems that as long as he decides something, there will be nothing wrong and no one can change it.
"Don't worry, if something goes wrong, I'll be responsible for all the consequences! Let's go, eat something to replenish your strength while it's still daylight."
Jian Bai smiled lightly, patted Mengshi on the shoulder, and then rowed down the tree trunk.
"Oh, that's fine. I'll just play around with you for a while."
Mengshi sighed slightly.
This Jianbai and his brother have the same temperament.
