first-class champion

Some of the cavaliers of the Hedong army cheered, as if this camp, like countless famous cities and dangerous fortresses in the puppet state, was about to succumb to the might of the Hedong army!The Chinese army of Li Keyong and Li Cunxiao, who came from behind, also accelerated their pace. For this kind of fortress with a complete defense system, at this critical moment, the defenders in the fortress must choose elite frontiers to rush out to support. Outer defenders.Try to maintain the perfection of the defense system.

The real battle of defending the city will inevitably involve repeated struggles in the outer defense system, even if the mobile forces in the city are exhausted one after another.For the siege side to force the city wall to fight or to fight repeatedly on the periphery are two completely different things.The Song Dynasty defended Xiangfan, and fought in the peripheral dangerous area for several years. Even though the back was surrounded by a moat several 200 meters wide, and Xiangyang City, which was almost the strongest in the world, the defenders did not easily retreat to the city to defend it.During the Jingkang period, the Bianliang defenders had no ability to resist, so the Jurchen army forced the city to go to the fortress, and the Guanning iron cavalry at the turn of the Ming and Qing Dynasties almost only used cannons against the fortified city. It can only be said that the army's field combat ability and fighting will have deteriorated. To a certain extent, an army with a little fighting power will never do a defensive battle.

Li Keyong and Li Cunxiao's central army composed of hundreds of heavy cavalry and more light cavalry, will fight head-on and beat back the defenders who counterattacked!Under the two black king flags, Li Cunxiao raised his whip and pointed at the camp that was almost submerged by the crowds and said with a smile: "So this camp is nothing more than that, it's nothing more than a ground being crushed in front of your boots, and it will fall when you step on it. It took so much effort to get these It was a waste of effort to lure the puppet Qi army out to deal with them! I think too highly of these puppet Qi thieves!"

However, Li Keyong remained motionless, staring at the battlefield, and replied indifferently: "I haven't finished the fight yet, what's the hurry?" Li Cunxiao smiled and didn't care. He glanced at the direction of the city fortress and said in surprise: "Is it true that these puppet Qi soldiers really don't know how to fight, and they haven't come out yet? It's too late!"

At this moment, both inside and outside the camp, whether it was above the camp or the surrounding archery towers, all stared at the situation in front of the camp with wide eyes.Needless to say, the archery tower, the defenders are already desperately supporting the camp.Arrows, crossbows and locusts also shot sideways.But at this time, thousands of captives saw that the stronghold was about to be broken, and their eyes were already red, and they didn't think it was a big deal if hundreds of people died.

As far as the Hedong army is concerned, what is the rain of arrows shot from the side of the watch tower in front of them in heavy armor?The reason why the defense is stable is that they can support each other.But at this moment, there is no one arrow above the camp, and no one is seen behind the crenel, so what is the use of relying on an archery tower?

Just when the Hedong army was about to go down with high spirits, all the five middle schools inside and outside the camp were burned.At the head of the camp, suddenly a heavy drum sounded, and the drum sound was not too loud.But Li Cunxiao and Li Keyong, who belonged to the king outside the city, could hear it clearly, and their hearts were shocked!In the blink of an eye, dozens of figures appeared above the camp, and a hundred gray bottles were the first to knock them down.The gray bottle shattered among the crowd, and the white smoke filled the air, falling all over people's bodies and heads.Before they could react, the defenders pulled up the number one cauldron with a tackle again, tilting down the boiling golden juice.

The hot, boiling golden juice was poured on his body with an unpleasant smell, and immediately aroused a burst of inhuman screams!Even if you are wearing armor, you can't stop the golden juice that will drill at every crack, as long as it gets on it, even the flesh of the belt will be burned off!What's more, when so many gray bottles were thrown down in front, the quicklime would boil when it met water, and immediately white smoke would rise from under the fort wall, as if a pot had been boiled.I don't know how many captives were burned by the boiling quicklime, screaming and running around.Some have more quicklime on their bodies, and when the golden juice is poured, they are roasted alive in an instant!

It turned out that dozens of long ladders were densely covered with ants attached to the siege captives, and they kept falling down.The crowds of hedgehogs gathered in the city immediately became chaotic, scurrying around like headless flies.I don't know where to run.Even if there were still people who wanted to call out the command to stabilize people's hearts, how could anyone hear the screams resounding through the sky?The defenders in the village still didn't stop, and then threw out the black earthen pot filled with kerosene.These are all defensive artifacts prepared by the army, and they were allocated by Huang Chao's army.Viscous kerosene dripped everywhere as the earthen jar shattered, more than a dozen rockets fell, and a sea of ​​flames suddenly rose under the camp wall.I don't know how many people were set on fire at this moment, screaming and running around.

If you accidentally bump into other people, you will also set them on fire.Some people want to roll on the ground to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but the fire is so powerful, how can it be easily extinguished?After rolling a few times, it twitched and gradually became immobile, curled up into a ball due to burning.Thousands of captives who struggled to the front of the puppet Qi Dazhai fell in just a short moment, and it is unknown how many fell down!The remaining captives have completely collapsed. In their hearts, they no longer have any harsh orders from the Hedong Army, and no longer have any thoughts of struggling to survive. All they think about is to stay away from this Shura field!

Under the camp, the original dense crowd, like an ant's nest in water, screamed and ran away, leaving only the raging flames, billowing black smoke, corpses, and the smell of burnt corpses under the camp!

Lin Yan's personal guard swallowed hard, and said in a low voice, "In such a scene, would the Hedong army dare to attack us today?" Under the two black king flags, Li Keyong, who was still smiling just now, His face was ashen at the moment.A lifetime of soldiers and horses told him that it is not something he likes to hear and see that the Hedong Army has made great achievements. An army must face failure, so that it can gradually grow up. Once pierced, the consequences would be disastrous.However, the small fortresses are so stubborn and difficult to attack, which is not good news for the Hedong army and horses. You must know that the emperor of Tang Dynasty is still waiting for the passage to Xuzhou to be opened!Since I was sent here by His Majesty the Tang Dynasty as a vanguard to meet up with the major envoys to attack Huangchao, naturally I have to bear the responsibility together.This camp can't be defeated, how can the old prince's face be passed in front of the major envoys.

But Huang Chao's nephew, the guard surnamed Lin, was too ruthless.It could have easily repelled these thousands of captives forcing the city.But he chose to put them closest, so calm.In the end, this ruthless tactic, not to mention too much, at least took away thousands of lives!
