Chapter 315
The Xiliang Army continued to attack the city wall in an orderly manner. There was no real storm, but the defense materials in Zhangye County City were continuously consumed.
Chen Huaiwei, who was trapped by black liquid, doesn't want to let his soldiers suffer that kind of pain anymore, so Li Xiang is willing to spend time on the other party's materials. If the other party doesn't want to use black liquid, then Xiliang Soldiers will rush to the city wall.
It takes a long time to build the ladder. Even the soldiers of Xiliang can build ordinary ladders. Every time they attack, they use a large ladder to attract the firepower of the opponent, and the ordinary ladder blocks the main attack.
Soldiers on ordinary ladders, even if they fall from a height, as long as their luck is not too bad, using True Qi plus a long spear inserted on the city wall, the soldiers can fall to the ground safely.
The only thing that is a little uncomfortable is that the moat began to melt under the burning of black liquid during these days of battles, which brought a lot of difficulties to the Xiliang army to attack the city.
On the city wall, Ma Teng is a little haggard. The Xiliang army is attacking the city everywhere, putting a lot of pressure on the soldiers in the city. Once they relax or careless, the Xiliang army will kill the city wall.
It was impossible to relax at all, which made the soldier and him feel a lot of pressure, and at the same time began to feel tired, even if the army was stationed on the city wall alternately, and the militia helped.
The soldiers also felt tired.
Up to now, Ma Teng didn't know where the Xiliang army lord was heading. He could only look at Li Xiang.
Li Xiang is a powerhouse that can compete with the Grandmaster. If Li Xiang gets to the city wall, then this city can no longer be defended.
There is no powerhouse in the city that can block Li Xiang, even he can't. The only way is to prevent Li Xiang from hitting the city wall. The city wall with a height of more than 20 meters is their defense against Li Xiang. tool.
There is a forbidden array on the city wall, don't worry Li Xiang will fly over from in the sky!
"City Lord, the north city gate Xiliang army launched a large-scale siege. , use fifteen ladders!" a scout quickly rushed to Ma Teng's side and said.
Just as the scout retreated and Ma Teng had not digested the news, a scout ran over: "In the city, in the Liang Army in the Northern Western District, a large number of heavy infantry appeared, and they were landing in the northern city. The north city gate needs support!"
Ma Teng listened to that and did not immediately issue an order. He looked at the south city gate and the Xiliang army camp. He saw some tents in the camp moving, not right, They are hiding something, like covering something with a tent.
"Order 5,000 militiamen to support the northern city gate plus 1,000 reserve troops to support!"
Ma Teng did not send more troops, 5,000 militiamen and 1,000 soldiers, It was enough to deal with the attack of the army from the north city gate. He set his sights on the south city gate. As long as Li Xiang was still at the south city gate, he would not release all the army in his hand.
Even if the city wall is lost in other places, the army can fight back desperately, but if the southern city gate really falls into the hands of the Xiliang army, Li Xiang can kill the city from the upper floor of the city gate by himself. gate, open the city gate, and let the Xiliang iron cavalry kill the city. At that time, it was really powerless!
"Yes!" The scout quickly ran to the reserve army in the city with the order, and they scouted the troops. If you lose the battlefield outside, you will become a messenger in the city, and at the same time supervise the civilians in the city.
Being surrounded by the Xiliang army, there are some people who want to cooperate with the Xiliang army outside, open the city gates and let the Xiliang army kill the city.
Ma Teng can feel that the temperature in the air is getting warmer, and it's about time for the Ma Family army to counterattack!
He only needs to hold on for another month, A month was neither long nor short, and he didn't lose much in the army. It was still the same number. With an army of 30,000 plus 50,000 militiamen, an army of 80,000 was enough to stop the Xiliang army.
Guarding Zhangye County City and waiting for the Ma Family army to encircle the palace, he has a very bold idea in his mind, that is to kill Li Xiang.
Others are afraid that Li Xiang has the protection of the Great Grandmaster expert, and the experts at the Great Grandmaster level cannot attack Li Xiang.
Then they don't need the expert at the Great Grandmaster level and use the army siege to kill Li Xiang.
He doesn't believe that Li Xiang can fight tens of thousands of troops by himself, and
will consume Li Xiang to death.At this time, he only had hatred for Li Xiang in his heart. After Ma Jin died, he had nothing to worry about, even though he still had two daughters and a young son.
In his eyes, these people are not family members, they are just what he made after drinking. His son is only Ma Jin.
Ma Teng stared at Li Xiang, and Li Xiang also knew that Ma Jin had been listening to him.
So he every day all wants to go to the front of the army soldiers of Xiliang, if the other party dares to give him a chance, he will rush directly to the city wall to open a gap for the soldiers of Xiliang.
Unfortunately, the other party did not give a chance, the black liquid in the city has already gathered here, and there is not a can of black liquid on other city walls, because those places can still be defended, and the southern city gate must be To get rid of all the ladders, let Li Xiang go to the city wall, it will be gone.
About two hours later, the armies of the two sides of the northern city gate fought for three hours, and the army of the northern city gate drove the army of Xiliang off the city wall. The city wall was full of corpses, most of which were still The defender's side.
Just after the city gate battle was over, the Xiliang army from the east and west city gates launched an attack on the city wall. It was already afternoon, and the two sides fought until it was dark. Retreat under the city wall.
Today, the total number of soldiers lost on both sides is more than 10,000, of which the Xiliang side accounts for about 20%, and now it is the army soldier.
The death toll of the Ma Family troop in the army soldier is about 3,000, and the rest is the death of the militia.
The Ma Family soldiers defending the city knew the ferocity of Xiliang soldiers, so he let these inexperienced militiamen rush to the front, and then they sneak attack in the back.
Night fell
Ma Teng felt a strong smell of blood in the air. Today's bloody battle, he knew that the Xixi Liang Army knew that the black liquid was gone, and the other party wanted to Launch the most violent attack.
At the same time, it can be seen that the other party is really anxious, anxious to take Zhangye County City.
He is not as good as the other party would like to make the other party pay enough.
The defenders in the city are patrolling around the clock, even if they are tired, they dare not relax a little.
The Militia Battalion.
"Big Brother Wang, City Lord, they don't take us seriously!" A militia Thousand-man Commander said with a weeping voice: "They know the brutality of the Xiliang Army, but they don't. We asked our militiamen to stand at the forefront, and they were not allowed to retreat. Once they retreated, their knives would slash at us.
More than 1,000 neighbors under my command died in the first battle today. Humans, that's 500 human lives!"
More than 100 of them died not by the blade of the Xiliang Army, but by those soldiers.
They dare not show their knives to the Xiliang army, but they are so cruel to us militiamen!"
The man known as Big Brother Wang is named Wang Liu. The gang leader, the gangs in the entire Zhangye County City are under his control.
In Zhangye County City, during the day, Zhangye County City is ruled by the Ma Family, and at night, it is ruled by Wang Liu
There are more than 3,000 gang dísciples under Wang Liu. This time the militia was recruited, and all Wang Liu and his party were being recruited.
Wang Liu will never forget, that night City Lord brought the The man went directly to his gang station, with a sharp long knife on his neck. If he hadn't agreed in time, he might have fallen to the ground now.
These gangsters are very important in the eyes of the ordinary person. Prestige, but in the eyes of the City Lord and other powerful people, they are just a group of dogs. It would be better if they were obedient. Once they dared to offend those powerful people, the other party could easily kill them.
Being Da Wake Wang Liu brought 3,000 people to the military camp, just wanting to use this war to get some official positions for himself.
But who would have thought that when the war started, his 3,000 men would only be There are less than 2,000 people left, and the one who was crying just now was the people in a camp next to him. The losses were even worse.
In today's battle, the Ma Family army lost thousands of people, but with her The damage of his militiamen is very small compared to that. In addition to the death of 5,000 people, the militiamen were seriously injured and the number of people who lost their battle strength was as high as 7,000.
In other words, the militiamen in World War I today are One-fifth of it has been lost!
How can these militia leaders be relieved? You must know that many militia leaders are leading relatives of their own families. What face is there to meet the family of the deceased.
And if the militia dies, the City Lord's Mansion will not give any compensation.>
A commander next to him complained, and Wang Liu took it all in the heart.
Now that his ambition has changed, he is unable to gain a foothold in the Ma Family army and get his due status. Then he will go his own way. These militiamen are not simple, and there are clan forces behind each of them.
As long as they are used properly, Wang Liu may also be the ruler of this Zhangye County City during the day!
"Everyone, listen to me!" Wang Liuyi said, the originally noisy tent became much quieter, and everyone looked towards Wang Liu, I want to hear what Wang Liu wants to say.
"Ma City Lord, we have gathered us to protect Zhangye County City, our relatives, family members, and friends!" Wang Liu said with a serious face: "His original intention was good, we It is also necessary for the militia to fight against the Xiliang Army, but the army soldiers on the city wall used this to coerce me to wait for my men to die in the front. They were behind and pointed the blade that we originally aimed at the Xiliang Army at us!
Is this possible? We all came to the city wall to protect Zhangye County City. It is our duty to protect the city, but they have to put a knife to our neck. I can't bear this!
p>We must ask for an explanation, otherwise they will put knives on our necks today, and tomorrow they will put knives on the necks of our family members. Don’t forget, how did the food in the city come from, etc. After the food left by the big households is exhausted, the food in the city is only the food in our family!"
"Big brother, you can tell us what we want to do, and we will follow you!" Wang Liu A subordinate loudly said.
"Yes, we must have a statement!" said a commander.
"Big Brother Wang, we all listen to you!"
Wang Liu smiled a little when he heard these people's words, but it was quickly covered up. 7,000 soldiers remained.
West city gate In today's battle, the soldiers lost as many as 1,000 people and have not been supported by the southern city gate. That is to say, at this time, there are only more than 3,000 army soldiers left in the west city. (There are still a lot of wounded soldiers.)
His ambition is not very high, so he will take a Xicheng first. He is not a parallel importer. He is confident that Xicheng can defend the Western city under his command. District city gate, stronger than the current west city gate defender.
"Then let's go to them now and ask for an explanation!" Wang Liu waved his hand and rushed towards the Xicheng garrison barracks with the grandiose militiamen. The people of Liang Province are very sturdy and battle strength. Not much weaker than those soldiers, so they are not afraid of guarding army soldier.
Wang Liu dared to take the army to the Xicheng garrison barracks at night, and he also checked the time. It was just at night, and the Xiliang army was generally sleeping at night, and there would be no night siege.
This is their chance. If they do this during the day, they will let the Xiliang Army take advantage of the loophole!
"Who!" Come on, the gong sounded immediately, the soldiers on the city wall went into battle, and when they saw outside the city, the Xiliang army was gathering, they were used to it, the Xiliang army would come out like this every night, just to keep them on guard at all times .
The sound of the gong came from inside. Is there a problem in the city?
When the general of the Xicheng garrison heard that the militia army was going to make trouble, he was also stunned. What did these mud-legged men want to do?
Going to the gate of the barracks, he saw Wang Liu who took the lead. , the defending general said with some dissatisfaction: "Wang Liu, what are you doing!"
Wang Liu, he knew, was just a fierce dog, if it hadn't done anything out of the ordinary before , had already been killed by them.
Wang Liu could see the disdain in the eyes of the defending generals, with a slight sneer: "What do we do, we just want justice, just want to ask some questions, Lord Defender, why did you let him in the daytime? Soldiers aimed their swords at us militiamen, not at the soldiers of Xiliang!"
"Yes, why are we fighting in the front, you are watching from behind!"
" Everyone is human, with about the same strength, why do you want us to be in the front, and your equipment is better than ours, if you want to be in the front, you should be in the front!"
... .
In an instant, the entrance of the main camp was noisy, and the soldiers in the garrison barracks came out neatly, looking fiercely at the militiamen who looked mob.
The militiamen were not afraid at all, and looked towards those people equally fiercely. Many of them had already put their hands on the handle of their weapons.
Whoosh
bang
A multi-colored light rose in the sky in the distance, and the soldiers who were facing each other were not in the mood to watch.
Gao Shun, who was outside the city, waved his big hand, and the Capture Barrack soldiers rushed forward quickly. The ladders and ladders that had been prepared earlier were pushed forward quickly by the other soldiers.
When they went to battle during the day, they had already modified the ground so that the ladder could quickly approach the city wall
