Chapter 438
: Grinding the gun at the last minute
I spent the night in tension, but the imagined siege did not appear. As soon as the dawn broke out, the morning breeze blew over, like a lullaby, the soldiers who relaxed their spirits quickly fell asleep.
Although Prince Yong was the prince, he was still very good at marching and fighting. At least he knew that the early morning was the worst time for everyone to be alert, and he chose to launch an attack at this time.
Quietly, the 30,000 troops quietly approached in the morning breeze, and the long siege ladder rushed straight towards the city wall like long snakes.
Standing ladders, building walls, climbing up, the movements were done in one go, without making a sound, showing how well these soldiers were trained.
Just as the first soldier was about to climb the city wall, suddenly, a shout of killing suddenly sounded, and thousands of soldiers with neat armor suddenly appeared on the city wall. At the first moment, these soldiers stabbed out the hook and sickle in their hands, and the curved barbs immediately stabbed a log on the siege ladder.
Swish!
It was like peonies blooming, and the siege ladder was the peony petals. They flipped out of the city wall and howled bitterly. Nearly ten soldiers wailed in despair on each ladder, and these wails also opened the prelude to the siege of Jiling City.
The ladder fell down, and someone immediately helped it up and put it on the city wall again. At the same time, with the order issued, Prince Yong's original formation quickly approached, and bows and arrows shot overwhelmingly like locusts.
Standing on the city wall, Li Chong looked at the battle formation that was black in the distance, which could not see the edge. He couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Although there were many soldiers on the city wall, most of them were civilian soldiers. Whether they could complete their responsibilities without any investigation in the battle was a problem. At this time, the siege began, and nearly 10,000 civilian soldiers woke up at this time, throwing their armor and unloading their armor, and some of them could not even find their weapons. If Li Chong had not long ago had he guessed that he would have gathered the King of Camp and Fengxiang Camp again, it would have been the time when Ji Ling City was broken.
But the soldiers of the two battalions are also flesh and blood, and they are also tired and exhausted. If this continues, within three days, Li Chong's men will have no soldiers to value.
The dark bows and arrows were shot, and all the experienced veterans shouted, reminding everyone to find a place to cover themselves, but even so, in a rain of arrows, more than 200 casualties were still injured and killed.
A round of arrow rain passed, and the soldiers climbed up the siege ladder again. At the same time, the sound of bowstrings sounded again, just as the soldiers of the people realized that they wanted to rush out and overturn the ladder, the second round of arrow rain had already arrived.
Commanding the 200,000 army, but the cooperation was so precise. This was definitely not something that ordinary generals could command. Faced with this precise attack, the soldiers of the people once again paid the tuition with their lives.
One thousand two hundred and thirty people are a trivial number for the 200,000 army, but for Li Chong, this is the beginning of his defeat. If this continues, the people's soldiers will be completely lost after a few hours of attack. Not only that, it will make it more difficult to rescue the injury and illness in the city.
"A five-man team is formed nearby, with veterans as sergeant commanders. Everyone must obey the orders of the sergeant commanders. If there is any disobedience, the sergeant commander shall take charge of the power of life and death." At this time, Li Chong was no longer gentle. He knew that without strict discipline, casualties would only increase unlimitedly.
After receiving Li Chong's order, the soldiers of the people immediately became panicked, but until the second wave of arrow rain passed, some of the soldiers of the siege had already exposed their heads, and these soldiers of the people were still not organized.
There was no way, the veterans stepped forward again, stabbed out the sickle spear, overturned the siege ladder again, delaying the siege speed.
"Mulch wood, turmeric oil, attack." Li Chong was already anxious at this time. If this continues, the city wall will be broken without a cup of tea. In desperation, Li Chong had no choice but to order to dump part of the turmeric oil and turmeric oil in advance, delaying the speed of Prince Yong's attack in order to organize these common soldiers faster.
Li Chong is not unwise, but he is now a general who dominates the defense of the entire Jiling City. The intelligence and the distribution of soldiers alone have already made him anxious. This also made him separate these common soldiers in batches in batches, but did not divide them carefully, resulting in the current situation.
However, Li Chong discovered it in time. In the battle, as long as he found it in time and corrected it in time, it would definitely not be a major mistake.
When the torch was thrown out, the sea of fire immediately under Ji Ling City, but so many defending equipment were shot out, it did not cause the imagined lethality. Except for a few soldiers who tripped or fell and could not move, the sea of fire had no effect except delaying time.
"All soldiers on the city wall retreated. All soldiers of the Xiaoyong Camp selected five people to form a team to continue defending the city wall. After the Fengxiang Camp was selected, wait for the battle. After Aidong Camp and Ai Li Camp selected the team members, they immediately returned to the city to rest." Li Chong clearly issued his order to prevent everyone from becoming confused again.
This time, all the soldiers of the people were arranged neatly. After being selected, they immediately followed their captain to the city wall.
However, the problem is still not interrupted at this time.
It was the first time that some strong civilian soldiers saw a dead person. They had just rushed to the city wall and looked at the blood of the corpses everywhere, their legs were limp, and they could not even hold weapons. They accounted for half of the number.
He sighed in his heart, Li Chong was really scratching his head. At this time, there was not much fire left. The siege army pushed forward again and could launch a new attack at any time. Moreover, the number of siege ladders suddenly doubled. Looking at the dense siege ladders, the shock of this attack alone had already made the hands of these people tremble.
"Fengxiang Camp rushed up and retreated immediately after filling the team members. The rescue team brought down all the bodies. The remaining soldiers were four people, and they had to hold their hands and feet and not separate them." At the moment of life and death, Li Chong had to put on a strong medicine. He knew that these common soldiers had no experience, but he could only use this almost cruel method to quickly train their courage.
Yun Aotian is in charge in Jiling City, while Li Chong is definitely the commander. No one dares to disobey his orders.
Nearly 1,500 corpses were quickly pulled into the city. Under the supervision of veterans such as Lao Gazi, 6,000 soldiers were lucky to be selected, and they caught the bodies and waited for the battle.
After all, Lao Gazi is a veteran. Although he doesn't have as many ideas as Li Chong, he knows the effect Li Chong wants to achieve.
