Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 696
Luzhou City is empty of troops, with only 8000 to [-] people, it is definitely impossible to deal with the attack of [-] to [-] Liao troops.So after receiving the news, Qiaoyun quickly ordered that the young and strong be removed from each household to defend the city.At this time, there is no need to care about that much, and the most important thing is to defend the city.

Fortunately, Chu Ruifeng is a far-sighted person, and he made preparations early.The young and middle-aged people in Luzhou City usually train with the soldiers. When they go out, they serve as soldiers and when they come in, they serve the people. At this time, it just comes in handy.

The people in Luzhou City lived a very comfortable life after the arrival of the rebel army. Seeing that life is much better now than before, no one wants to go back to the way it was before.In order to maintain the good life in front of them, the people are also willing to contribute their efforts to help defend the city.Therefore, Qiao Yun's order was not hindered too much, and the young and strong men in the city drew another [-] people to participate in the defense of the city.

In this way, the number of people defending the city is probably close to [-], which is not too different from the number of the Liao army. Qiao Yun's heart is a little more stable.In this Luzhou City, there are two thunder cannons specially left by Chu Ruifeng, plus Lin Bokang's invention and design, with a crossbow made by skilled craftsmen, bows and arrows, rolling logs and other things are also fully prepared.As long as Luzhou City is united, it will take a while, and it should be no big deal.

Everything in Luzhou City was well prepared, and at this time outside the city, the shadow of the Liao army could be seen faintly.It is impossible for the [-] to [-] Liao army to besiege Luzhou, and they have already exposed their target, so they did not disperse and concentrated their forces in the south of Luzhou city. It looked like they were planning to attack the city in one go.

The main force in the city was also in the south of the city. At this time, when the generals on the city saw the Liao army approaching from outside the city, they directly ordered them to fire.Although there are only two thunder cannons, they are quite powerful and should be able to deter the enemy.Of course, it's not very convenient to use this thing to defend the city, especially to deal with these cavalry outside the city, it needs to be accurately estimated by the person who launched it.

The soldiers in charge of manipulating the artillery were all gunners on Chu Ruifeng's previous fleet. These people have been playing with artillery all year round and have a lot of experience.At this moment, staring at the Liao army outside the city, after estimating the distance and the speed of the Liao army in their hearts, they lit the fuze of the artillery.

There was only a loud bang, and the artillery fired towards the large number of Liao troops outside the city, and then the shells exploded among the crowd.The tumbling air wave shocked the Liao army who had just arrived outside Luzhou City and hadn't figured out the situation.

You must know that at this time in Daliao, there are not many cities guarded by artillery. Apart from the capital, there are only two or three important cities that can be seen.Moreover, compared with Chu Ruifeng's artillery, Daliao's artillery is very backward in technology and does not have such a huge power at all.

Such a shocking explosion effect frightened the Liao army outside the city.Needless to say, what was at the center of the explosion, and the rest of the places that were not affected, the war horses were also terribly frightened, and they couldn't even control it.The Liao army was deflated before it approached Luzhou City, but the general who led the army was furious.

This Liao army is actually the people who crossed the river and besieged Wuwei City. They were originally the defenders of Chizhou Road across the river.Before hearing that the rebel army sent troops to Anfeng, Wuwei's troops in Luzhou were empty, so he took the risk of crossing the river.Planning to attack the rebel army's lair, copied the rebel army's back route, and joined forces with Anfeng to defeat the rebel army.

These people had also studied some of Chu Ruifeng's methods of leading the army before, and among them, this strategy of attacking east and west and diverting the tiger away from the mountain was simply superb.This time, the general who led the Liao army thought about learning it.Therefore, an army of [-] to [-] troops directly surrounded Wuwei City and attacked, and waited for any movement from Luzhou to take the opportunity to attack Luzhou.

Unexpectedly, things are not as easy as they thought.The Liao army besieged Wuwei. As a result, Wuwei City resisted with one heart and one mind. The Liao army lost troops and generals but failed to take Wuwei.As for Luzhou, there was no intention of helping them at all.The Liao army set up an ambush halfway, but it didn't work at all. In the end, it was decided to attack Luzhou with all its strength.

As a result, when these people came to Luzhou, they were bombarded with cannons before they could attack the city. They didn't even touch the edge of Luzhou City.There is really no need to mention this aggrieved energy.

"It's all steady, steady, back, back, the shells also have a certain distance, just retreat a little bit." It's a bad start, and now in order to stabilize the emotions of the soldiers, they must be withdrawn first, and then Think of another way.Otherwise, the city has been bombarded for a while, and they have 3 people, why don't they all confess?So the Lord made a decisive decision and ordered the people to retreat.

The chief general has spoken, are the soldiers still in a hurry?So, when I saw the Liao army, which was still aggressive just now, it retreated quickly as if the tide was ebbing.

On the city wall of Luzhou City, Mo Anyuan and other generals breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this situation.In fact, the Thunderbolt can only be fired three times, after which the barrel becomes so hot that it cannot be used, and it needs to cool down for a long time.This thing is used to defend the city, and it mainly serves as a deterrent. It is actually not realistic to point at this thing to kill the enemy in a large area.Artillery is still better for siege, and it is more destructive to the city walls.

Of course, the Liao army below was obviously frightened, which is undoubtedly good news for the city defenders.It's good to be able to delay for a while, the longer the delay, the greater the chance of the reinforcements coming back.As long as Chu Ruifeng rushes back with reinforcements, there is no need to be afraid of these Liao soldiers in front of him.

Of course, we can't be negligent right now, the Liao army is very cunning, don't look at the temporary retreat, there may be some tricks behind it.Therefore, while everyone on the city wall was happy, they also continued to be vigilant.

"Tonight, we must cheer up and pay attention at all times. The Liao army will never give up easily. I am afraid that they will use other methods to sneak attack, so we must be careful." The guard of Luzhou City told everyone.

"Don't worry, General, we will watch without blinking tonight, and we will never let the enemy take advantage of it." All the soldiers said in unison.

The two sides fought for the first time, and the Liao army temporarily died down.However, none of the people defending the city dared to be careless, and they all got 12 points of energy, paying attention to the movement on the other side with all their attention.

As for the Liao army outside the city, they had a bad start and were frightened back before they could do anything, which also made the leaders very annoyed.But they have nothing to do. It's getting late at this time, and they can only set up camp for the time being, let the soldiers rest first, and then make plans for the next step.

As a result, the Liao army withdrew out of the range of artillery attack, and then set up camp, lit a fire and cooked.As for the generals, they gathered together to discuss what to do next.
