Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

bang——

The city wall shook violently, and a cloud of smoke erupted from the outer wall that had not been repaired for many years. A few gravels flew out from the dust, hitting the shields with a muffled thud. Many people became unsteady and fell to the ground.

Yelvchinu was thrown to the ground by his own soldiers. He felt a vibration under his body. He quickly pushed away the guard who was in the way. When he looked up, a stone the size of a stone roared towards him and hit several soldiers beside him. The shield he was holding on his body was broken into several pieces like paper. Seeing that the man in front of him had no time to scream, a ball of blood mist burst out and was smashed into mud. The blood-stained stone bounced back a few times, causing injuries. Several people just stopped.

"Damn it, the Song Dynasty's cyclone cannon!"

Standing up in embarrassment, Yelvchinu looked outside. Two towering cyclone cannons were retracting their levers, and in front of them, a black crowd spanning several miles was slowly advancing. He suddenly grabbed the general beside him: " Go and get the bed crossbow..." He suddenly exited: "Quick!"

The man suddenly took a step, then turned around and ran away.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Liao army were all uniformly dressed, wearing half leather armor on their upper bodies. They were looking at the place where people were stoned to death in a panic. How should we deal with something that cannot be defended by human beings?
Many soldiers felt a chill creeping up their spines and onto the backs of their necks.

"Don't panic! He only has two trebuchets, just dodge." Yelvchinu knew what his men were afraid of, so he opened his mouth and roared: "React calmly and put up your shield!"

The commanding generals in each city section listened and repeated it hurriedly, and the constant roaring slightly calmed the mood of the soldiers below.

Yelvchinu's expression was gloomy. Zhenhai Mansion was a vast and sparsely populated area, and few of the rebel bandits would like this place. Therefore, even though he boasted that he was good at bows and horses since he was a child, and that he was brave and good at fighting, he had no chance to prove it to the world. I often regret it.

Unexpectedly, there would be an opportunity to verify this. As long as he defeated this group of thieves and showed the captured items to others, it would be enough to prove his bravery.

On the top of the city, soldiers carrying city defense items, shouting captains, and generals at all levels were still running around, constantly adjusting the positions of the defensive sections of the city.

Suddenly, a cavalry force emerged from the black wave below, approaching with a plume of dust and smoke.

"Cavalry, stand up your shield!"

next moment.

The iron-clad wooden shield was erected on the parapet, and a wave of arrows flew up to the top of the city in dense numbers. With a loud buzzing sound, they were nailed to the shield and the city wall. There were also arrows that passed through the gaps between the shields and shot at people. , and suddenly there was a cry.

"Archers, come forward, hurry!"

Yelvchinu was in a hurry and scolded the archer to move forward, move his sword and shield hand away, and the arrows flew towards the cavalry under the city with the sound of bow strings trembling.

However, it was still too late. When the arrow rain tilted down, the group of cavalry had already crossed the arc and ran out of range, leaving only countless trembling tail feathers on the ground.

"The enemy is throwing stones, hide!"

Someone yelled and looked at the rolling stones in the air, which immediately caused the sergeants at the top of the city to panic. As they hid, many people bumped into each other, and then there was the sound of stones hitting the city wall.

boom--

The shaken dust and gravel rushed towards his face. Yelüchinu quickly covered his mouth and nose and walked aside. He looked at the horses going away and ordered: "Pay attention to those horse soldiers."

He turned his eyes to the advancing military formation and watched them stop outside the shooting range. After a while, there was no movement. He couldn't help but murmured: "What are these thieves doing?"

Then he spat out and urged the generals around him to quickly adjust their formations. The frightened soldiers around them lined up their formations under the scoldings of their respective commanding generals. On the steps behind the city wall, a large number of young men were carrying heavy wood, bundles of which were shining brightly. Hanmang's arrow was placed in the corner.

Wuwu——The desolate horn echoed on the battlefield. At this time, it was an siege. The distance between the military formations was a bit close. Looking at it, they were all square arrays. Figures carrying wooden ladders were walking through the arrays. , stand in front.

The banner with the word "LV" stretches unsteadily in the wind.

Red Rabbit was on horseback. Lu Bu, who was wearing golden armor and a big cloak, was sitting on the saddle. He looked at the figures who had gathered on the city again: "After all, this is where the government is located. This general is still somewhat capable."

He tapped the saddle lightly with his fingers, turned his head and issued an order: "Send the order to Xiang and Bian Xiang, let them go up and test it out, let Xiao Haili lead the cavalry to cover them, Hua Rong is behind, don't stop the trebuchet, and move towards The opponent will hit the flag!"

Several messengers quickly galloped out on their horses.

Soon, the war drums from behind sounded again, and the passionate sound was deafening.

"coming!"

Yeluqinu took a deep breath when he heard the sound of the drum. Beside him, countless figures swayed slightly. With the tension before the battle and the slight timidity of the coming fight, the soldiers with spears ran over and stood on the sword and shield. Behind the hands, archers holding walking bows carried quivers on their backs. There were two to three hundred people in each city section.

In the cold wind, the hand holding the bow moved slightly, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes as he looked into the distance.

Behind the city wall, there are row upon row of houses. People on the street ran back home as soon as the first drumming sounded, closed the doors and windows tightly, and stared at the doors nervously holding the wooden sticks and kitchen knives they could find.

There's going to be a war...

At this moment, the same thought came to many people's minds, and their bodies trembled even more violently.

……

Boom, boom——

The rocks thrown by the cyclone cannon hit the city head. While the defenders were avoiding it, Xiao Haili led the cavalry army across an arc and unleashed a wave of arrows on the city head. Screams were heard from the city head. There was a sound, and he watched the cavalry army below take a circuitous route again.

The six flags of Dong, Zhao, Shan, Qin, Lu, and Wen moved forward under the banners of Guan and Bian Xiang. A total of more than 3,000 people began to advance with loud footsteps, and large shields were connected together. Covering the soldiers hunching and running in the shadows, and the comrades pushing the ladder forward.

In the advancing array, the sound battalions carrying colorful flags were mixed in. From time to time, they would lean out from behind their shields and shoot arrows towards the city head to suppress their counterparts at the city head.

The running figure quickly leaned against the city wall, and arrows rained down like a downpour. The village soldiers who had long been accustomed to it immediately squatted under the large shield raised at an angle. The moment the sound of arrows stopped falling, they opened the shield and screamed, footsteps flying like flying. As they rushed forward, the defensive arrows continued to fall. On the way forward, people fell dead from time to time.

"Shoot! Shoot now!"

Yelvchinu roared loudly, but soon a black figure came over and set up the ladder, leaning against the wall with a bang. When the Liao army was shocked, more wooden ladders with hooks were erected. When they came over, before the soldiers on the city wall could push them away, the soldiers from Liangshan below ran two steps quickly, jumped up, hugged the wooden ladder and fell hard.

With a clicking sound, the iron hooks on the wooden ladder were embedded in the blue bricks.

"kill--"

Dong Xian and Qin Ming, who arrived first, roared at different sections of the wall at the same time, biting horizontal knives. Liangshan village soldiers with round shields tied to their arms climbed up like ants.

Liangshan's first siege battle in Liaodong began. (End of chapter)
