Chapter 156: The Scheme of Seducing the Enemy

Beautiful in the city center.

Liao Hua told Gao Shun: "The Jizhou army failed to attack during the day and will inevitably change its attack method tomorrow. In this way, the weak areas in the southeast corner of the city wall may be difficult to escape the dense bombardment of the Jizhou army's catapults. Once the city wall collapses, the Jizhou infantry will swarm in through the gap, and our army will inevitably be difficult to resist."

[License. About the catapult: The ancient Chinese trenchers first appeared in the Warring States Period. They were lever-type catapults. The proximal end of the lever-swinging arm was pulled by manpower and the boulder placed at the far end of the lever is thrown out. This type of catapult is small in size, simplified in structure, light in weight, easy to transport and easy to assemble. The catapults that appear in this book are this category. There is also a catapult, a counterweight catapult, which first raises a counterweight of several tons by the winch, and then uses the free drop of the counterweight to drive the boulder to throw out the boulder. This type of catapult is complex in structure, with a weight of up to ten tons, and is extremely difficult to transport. The thunder chariot improved by Liu Ye during the Three Kingdoms period, as well as the catapults in the popular sense in the West, all belong to this category.]

Gao Shun stretched out his hand and pointed to the flames connected outside the city, and said calmly: "The general is very worried, I am afraid that the Jizhou army has already concentrated on the catapult to the southeast corner."

"Is that true?" Liao Hua looked in the direction of Gao Shun's finger, his eyes tightened instantly, and he said in a calm voice, "It seems that tomorrow's battle will be the final decisive battle, General Gao Shun..."

"No need to say anything." Gao Shun interrupted Liao Hua and said lightly, "People are there, the city is there, the city is lost, and that's all."

"Well." Liao Hua stared at Gao Shun deeply and said loudly with a move of his hand, "Come on wine, I want to drink with General Gao Shun."

A personal soldier had already climbed the city tower with a large jar of wine. Liao Hua took the wine jar with one hand, slapped the mud seal, and tilted his neck and drank three big mouthfuls first. Then he comfortably wiped the wine stains on his mouth, held the mouth of the jar with his hands and handed it to Gao Shun, and said loudly: "General Gao Shun, please!"

While it was dark and Gao Shun was not paying attention, Liao Hua had already incorporated a pack of powder into the wine when he handed over the wine jar. Liao Hua was a bandit and had a lot of money to do. He always had sleeping drugs around him, but he didn't expect that he would come in handy at this time. Gao Shun did not doubt that he had taken the wine jar and drank several big mouthfuls, handed the wine jar back to Liao Hua, and said aloud: "Have fun, haha."

Under the dark night, a strong wind blew, shaking up the messy hair from behind Liao Hua's head and drifted in the air. At this moment, Liao Hua's expression looked particularly cold and solemn, and a cool brow appeared between his eyebrows. A trace of desolate smile condensed on the corner of Liao Hua's mouth.

"General Gao Shun, please bring a word to the lord."

"Um?"

"Liao Hua is not good at leading troops and does not have the courage to be inappropriate for thousands of men. He cannot plan and win a thousand miles away like Jia Xu and Mr. Guo Tu. He will be in a high position after he has not made any achievements. He is really uneasy! Now~~ The lord is in trouble, and Liao Hua can only kill himself to repay him, that's all."

"Why did the general say this?" Gao Shun was stunned. Suddenly his majestic body shook, and then said in surprise, "Hey, I'm so dizzy, this wine~~This wine~~"

"puff!"

As soon as Gao Shun finished speaking, he fell down straight.

"Clang clang clang~~"

Amid the harsh metal friction, Gao Shun's dozens of personal soldiers drew their swords in their hands, surrounded Liao Hua, and shouted loudly: "Liao Hua, do you want to rebel?"

"Stop!" Liao Hua glared and shouted, "General Gao Shun was just taken from the drug and would wake up automatically after sleeping for several hours! While the enemy had not yet formed an encirclement at the South Gate, you can quickly escort General Gao Shun to evacuate overnight! The five hundred veterans (three hundred have been killed) in the camp will also evacuate together."

More than a dozen personal soldiers were stunned and a little at a loss for a moment.

Liao Hua said sternly: "Before the lord goes to war, he appointed this general as the chief general of the Meiji defender. Do you dare to disobey the military order?"

Gao Shun's personal soldiers had no choice but to take the order and leave.

Beautiful west of Jicheng, Han Sui's camp.

Liang Xing quickly walked into the tent and shouted: "Lord, there are four or five hundred cavalry guards who have left the south gate at night. Will they send troops to pursue them?"

"Oh?" Han Sui looked moved, and after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, although Ma Yue's butcher's reputation is not very good, it is already pitiful enough. The old camp and the old women and children in the camp will be taken away by us. Let him go to these four or five hundred cavalry. Anyway, he will record this account on the heads of the Jizhou soldiers."

"Hehe~~" Liang Xing smiled, "Lord, I heard that there are more than 100,000 women in Meiji City, and most of them are young women, including Xianbei women, Wuhuan women, Xiongnu women, and Gogurye women, all of which were stolen by the horse butcher when he conquered various tribes. I think there are not many beauties among them, hehe."

"Oh, is that?" Han Sui was also a hungry ghost in lust. When he heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened, "Are you serious about this?"

Liang Xing said: "It's true. At that time, the lord should not just focus on his romantic and happy life. He also rewarded a few beauties to be happy and happy, hehe~~"

Han Sui said: "Don't worry, as long as you are happy, you Liang Xing's will be indispensable."

Liang Xingxi said: "Thank you lord."

Han Sui said: "After the city is broken, you have to go to the city first. If you are too late, you will be afraid that Pan Feng will take the lead! Well, tell your brothers that after entering the city, don't rush to grab Ma Yue's food and supplies, and snatch all the women in the city first. It's best not to leave any of them for the soldiers in Jizhou."

Liang Xingdao: "The lord is wise."

The next day dawn.

"Boom boom boom boom~~"

Big rocks as big as millstones followed one after another, storming violently at the southeast corner of the Meiji City Wall. The already weak southeast corner was shaking under the crazy ravages of the Jizhou army's slasher, and it was possible to collapse at any time.

Thousands of the most elite Jizhou soldiers were already crowded outside the southeast corner, and slowly approached the weak area of ​​the city wall with the protection of shields. With yesterday's experience, it was difficult for the defenders to cause too much damage to the Jizhou infantry! Only sporadic arrows caused limited damage through the shield and iron armor.

In Meiji City, Liao Hua concentrated all the defenders who could concentrate. Two thousand soldiers surrounded the weak point that was about to collapse into a semicircle. The cold and scattered steel knife had been unsheathed, and the sharp spear was raised forward, standing like a forest, and the air was filled with suffocating depression.

Accompanied by the continuous impact, the city wall in front was trembling slightly, and countless tiny cracks were already covered with the wall, and spreading in all directions like spider silk. From time to time, large pieces of broken soil fell off the city wall and fell to the ground.

The city wall was about to collapse, but the eyes of the defenders showed neurotic excitement.

In the rear formation of Jizhou Army, more than 30 soldiers struggled to pull the rope in their hands, pulled down the proximal end of the catapult's swing arm. With the support of the rotation shaft, the swing arm several feet long bounced back suddenly, drew a round arc in the air, and after rising to the top, it was stuck by the stake and knocked out a loud bang.

The boulder placed at the far end of the swing arm roared up under the action of huge inertia, rolling over the battlefield, and smashing down fiercely towards the weak section in the southeast corner of Meiji City.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the boulder finally crashed into the weak city wall.

"Crazy~~"

Amid the deafening loud noise, a section of the city wall in the southeast corner collapsed, forming a large gap dozens of steps wide. Before the dozens of defenders guarding the city tower could even scream, they rolled down the splattered gravel and mud, and were buried alive in the flying smoke and dust.

"kill!"

Gao Lan and Geng Wu simultaneously pulled the long sword in their hand forward and tried their best. Thousands of elite soldiers in Jizhou shouted violently, like a group of crazy wild wolves, roaring and pounced on the gap. Only scattered arrows shot down from the city towers at both ends of the gap, but they were not enough to stop the surging Jizhou soldiers.

"Kill and kill!"

Thousands of elite soldiers in Jizhou rushed in like a flood that broke the dike, and in an instant they rushed into the sky. Everything was covered by the rolling smoke and dust, and nothing could be seen.

Beautiful in Jicheng.

Liao Hua held a shield with his left hand, raised his right arm, and pulled his iron claw forward with force. In an instant, the two thousand defenders standing behind Liao Hua also roared wildly. Before the splashing dust and gravel dissipated, they rushed up like a tide and rushed into the flying smoke and dust. The soldiers roared and roared, their expressions filled with determination to go without going, death without life.

There is no way out! The general said that if Meijicheng is captured, not only will they be beheaded by the enemy, but their children will not be spared, and all women will become prostitutes! For the sake of their son and for the continuation of their bloodline, even the cowards who are cowards will become brave and fearless.

"kill!"

Liao Hua rushed into the gap with a giant shield in his hand. He couldn't see clearly in the confusing smoke and dust, and collided head-on with two Jizhou soldiers rushing towards him. With a loud bang, the two unlucky Jizhou soldiers flew backwards in an instant, and when they landed again, they were stabbed to death by their own guns raised high.

"Kill and kill ~~"

The two armies surging in the turbulent collision finally collided fiercely in the gap. In an instant, the soul-shaking howling sounded and the killing sounded across the sky, the spear pierced, the machete slashed, the sharp hand axe flew in the sky, the cold spear roared and fell, and the heavy giant shield was chasing wildly.

When the howling wind finally blew away the confusing smoke and dust, revealing the hideous and violent killing scene in the gap, the soldiers of the two armies were already entangled together.

Amid the deafening sound of killing, the Jizhou army and the defenders fell down like cut straws, but the subsequent soldiers still rushed forward fearlessly, filling the gaps left by the fall of their companions, and there was no more crazier strangle than this.

Here, human life is even more fragile than the candle in the wind. Every moment and every breath, someone falls down wailingly, and someone dies in pain~~

"Expanded~~"

Liao Hua waved the giant shield in his hand frantically and violently rammed the soldiers of Jizhou soldiers like ants in front of him. On such a crowded battlefield, no matter how sharp the weapons are, they are no longer enough to use. Even if you can poke the enemy to death, you will not be able to escape the end of being killed by the enemy's enemy sword. The weapon shield, which is purely defensive, has become the sharpest weapon.

Three more unlucky Jizhou soldiers were wailing and flying backwards.

"Everyone goes away and let someone come to deal with him."

A thunderous shout suddenly sounded in the Jizhou army, which suppressed the noisy battlefield. The crowded Jizhou soldiers barely made way for one person to pass through. At the flash of figures, a general wearing heavy armor and slender figure rose up straight, which was the famous general Gao Lan of Hejian.

"kill!"

Gao Lan shouted loudly, and the long sword in his hand slashed in the air. Liao Hua groaned and raised the shield hard. With a loud clang, the giant shield in Liao Hua's hand was actually split from it by Gao Lan's long sword. The long sword was still swift, and it cut into Liao Hua's left shoulder several inches deep, almost removing Liao Hua's left shoulder.

“Ah~~”

Liao Hua screamed in terror, and his violent eyes suddenly turned blood red.

"Um?"

Gao Lan pulled the long knife hard, but it actually stuck in Liao Hua's shoulder blades, not moving at all.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Liao Hua let out a long howl and poked his right iron claws fiercely. Gao Lan could not dodge until he was pierced by Liao Hua's iron claws in an instant. When the bone-eroding ice cold came from his abdomen, Gao Lan knew that his fate was destined. Today, it was probably about to die in the wilderness.

"Ye yell~~"

A strong unwillingness came as a tide. Gao Lan raised his head and roared, and his hands holding the long sword suddenly exerted force. He swayed and swung again and again. Liao Hua's left shoulder was completely removed, and he fell several steps away with a complete left arm. In the splashing blood, the pulsating heart in Liao Hua's chest was also clearly visible.

With every pumping of the heart, a blood arrow shot out from the cut wound like a cut.

"Hehehehehehe~~"

Liao Hua was as unaware of it, and opened his mouth and made a very strange smile. He poked the iron claws into Gao Lan's lower abdomen and then pulled them out. Gao Lan's abdomen was cut open in an instant, a blood hole as big as a bowl of mouth. Several blood-dropped intestines were dragged out from the blood hole, wrapped around the iron claws and dragged all over the floor~~

"Old manager, I, Liao Hua, are here with you, hahaha..." Liao Hua raised his only left right arm, his sharp iron claws were covered in blood, and then he turned toward the distant south, roaring extremely ferociously, "Lord, even if you die, Liao Hua~~ will not embarrass you! Wow~~"

Liao Hua finally howled and rushed forward and hugged Gao Lan. The two hugged each other and fell to the ground. The next moment, more machetes and spears rushed from the two armies, stabbing Liao Hua and Gao Lan's corpses to the bloody and bloody. Then, they were soon stepped on by the soldiers of the two armies, turning into two cold and incomplete corpses.

Meiji West Gate.

Twenty thousand Western Liang cavalry were waiting for the battle outside the west gate, and the black cavalry formation almost covered the entire field. The defenders standing on the city tower looked around and saw that they were full of black cavalry, as if there was no other color between heaven and earth. Han Sui was wearing leather armor and stood solemnly at the front of the cavalry formation.

A fast horse galloped from the southeast corner like a wind swept away the broken clouds, and rushed to Han Sui and said quickly: "General, the southeast corner has been broken by the Jizhou soldiers! Now the two armies are repeatedly strangling at the gap."

"Oh, is that right? Then our army should take action!"

Han Sui said this, and clanged out his sword and raised it over the top, waved it forward and the black cavalry formation suddenly cracked from the middle. An "infantry" ran out of the camp with simple ladders, rushing towards the walls of Meiji City like a swarm.

This infantry was just a cavalry that had been dismounted, not a real infantry. However, there were very few defenders on Meiji City Tower. Liao Hua had already transferred all the troops that could be drawn to the southeast corner. The defenses of the other gates were already quite weak. In less than a meal, the Liangzhou army successfully climbed to the top of the city.

While the Jizhou soldiers were still fighting fiercely with the defenders in the southeast corner of Meiji, the Liangzhou soldiers had already opened the west gate of Meiji City. Twenty thousand Liangzhou cavalry rushed into Meiji City like a tide. Ma Yue's old camp, Meiji City, was finally captured!

Meiji went two hundred miles south, and the nine thousand army of horses was rushing back.

Jia Xu stepped forward and walked side by side with Ma Yue, gasping for breath: "From time calculation, Meiji City should have been lost now, and the lord's plan to lure the enemy has been completed. At this time, the Duke should have led his army to evacuate Meiji, two generals, Gao Shun and Liao Hua, right?"
