When everyone in Liangshan returned to Dazhai, Wu Yong asked Xiao Rang, a scholar who was traveling with him, to record everyone's achievements. However, it was Zeng Shen who was killed by Dong Ping and Zeng Kui who was killed by Lu Zhishen.
Wu Yong thought that he had achieved such results when he led the army for the first time, so he immediately ordered the whole army to have extra meals, and tomorrow the whole army would attack Zengtou City.
When Lin Chong heard what Wu Yong said, he couldn't help but said: "Although we have killed two sons of the Zeng family today, Shi Wengong was brave enough to be worthy of all men, and Ding Zhuang from Zengtou City was not afraid of death. Although it was a small victory, we The military casualties are not small. Zengtou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we attack by force, I am afraid that if we win, we will lose our troops. We are planning a big thing in Liangshan. For this reason, a small market has suffered many casualties. I am afraid that the gain will not be worth the loss. "
Wu Yong held a grudge against Lin Chong for halting his troops in front of the battle today. In his opinion, if Lin Chong hadn't stopped him, Liangshan's troops might have killed Zengtou City. Although that may cause many casualties, in his opinion, as long as Zengtou City is broken, it will be worth it.
Seeing Lin Chong rebelling against him again, he couldn't help but shake his feather fan and said: "How can we avoid casualties in the battle formation? We, Liangshan, are about to start an attack. We are about to destroy Zengtou City before we can show off our momentum in Liangshan. Otherwise, a little How can we seize those state capitals if Zengtou City cannot be moved?"
Seeing Wu Yong say this, Lin Chong had no choice but to sit down helplessly.
After a night of silence, at dawn the next day, Wu Yong gathered all his troops and came to Zengtou City.
When they arrived outside Zengtou City, the army was in position. Wu Yong once again asked people to fight, but Zengtou City was guarding the gate of the village and did not go out to fight.
Seeing that Zengtou City was not going to fight, Wu Yong immediately ordered people to fill in the pits in front of the village and attack Zengtou City.
Although Zengtou City was not willing to let Liangshan easily fill the trenches and let the archers on the stockade fire arrows to stop them, Liangshan rushed to build a batch of trench-filling trucks last night and did not suffer many casualties. Then the dense pits in front of the village were filled up.
It took half a day for the troops to fill up all the pits in front of Zengtou City.
Seeing that the road was flat, Wu Yong ordered Li Kui's thousand regiments of card players and Hua Rong's thousand archers to attack Zengtou City.
Li Kui saw that the pits had been filled up, and the scars immediately healed and he forgot about the pain. Bento rushed forward with his teeth and claws open.
Shi Wengong personally led people to guard the stronghold. When he saw the Liangshan soldiers and horses attacking, he gave an order and the archers in the stronghold fired thousands of arrows.
Suddenly, it was like a hornet's nest was poked, and there was a buzzing sound in the air. Sharp arrows pierced the sky and shot towards Liangshan soldiers and horses.
When Xiang Chong and Li Gun saw this, they quickly danced the group cards to protect themselves and Li Kui.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding"
After a dull sound, most of the arrows were blocked by the shield hand.
Shi Wengong watched a volley of fire from the Zhaizhai Gate, but only a few Liangshan soldiers were shot down. He couldn't help but be stunned, and shouted again in disbelief: "Fire the arrow."
Another round of arrows fell, Shi Wengong stared at the players in the village.
I saw the players in the front calmly looking at the sharp arrows falling from the sky, and then either using their shields to fire them, or just shrinking down and hiding behind the shields, and then they all withstood this round of arrows.
The shield bearers at the back quickly formed a shield wall, and the archers at the back hid behind the shield bearers. Only a few archers were slowed down and shot to the ground.
Shi Wengong is confident that if he gets a group of taiwan players, he can shuttle through the arrows more easily, but he needs to train such a group of calm taiwan players. But he couldn't do it.
Even if a person with strong martial arts skills sees thousands of arrows being fired, even if few of them fall on him, the sky is full of sharp arrows. They will also panic and worry about one thing and not the other. Not to mention ordinary soldiers. It is not something ordinary people can do to train such a group of shield hands.
Although Shi Wengong knew that bows and arrows could not achieve much results, he did not dare to let the archers stop. Otherwise, when the Liangshan archers advanced to the village gate, thousands of arrows would be fired, and it would be their turn to avoid those sharp arrows. Zengtou City Ding Zhuang is not as capable as the Liangshan regiment players. If the casualties are high, the gate of the village may not be able to be defended.
Although they had to dodge the rain of arrows in the air from time to time, the people in front quickly advanced to the village gate.
When Li Kui saw that the village gate was dozens of steps away, he couldn't help but feel happy. As long as he rushed to the gate of the village, he could split open the gate with just a few axes, and then he would be able to kill them all.
Shi Wengong, however, did not pay attention to Li Kui who was leading the way, but looked at the archers behind him.
Seeing the arrow fired by the Liangshan archer fall a few steps away from the village gate, Shi Wengong did not dare to delay any longer. Seeing that Li Kui and others in front had already entered within twenty steps of the village gate, a trace of cruelty flashed across his face. , with a wave of his hand, Ding Zhuang, who had already picked up the rolling wood and stone, rushed to the stockade and threw it down together.
When Li Kui saw a stone as big as a millstone whizzing towards him, he shouted loudly and hit the side of the stone with an axe, smashing it into pieces.??Go aside.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Although the other players in the group were able to protect themselves from the bows and arrows, they could not stop the rolling logs and rocks, which were thrown from the stronghold, and the terrain of Zengtou City was already high, and the rolling logs and rocks from top to bottom became even more unstoppable.
In just one encounter, hundreds of people were killed or injured.
But rolling logs and rocks were still falling from the fence.
Hua Rong's strong bow had a longer range, and his arrows knocked down a few young men in Zengtou City, but there were many young men throwing logs and rocks on the stockade fence.
Hua Rong saw that the regimental players and archers in front had suffered heavy casualties. Although there was no military order and no one dared to retreat, everyone was already busy avoiding the rolling logs and rocks and could no longer move forward. He also knew that he would not be able to attack like this, and would only be able to retreat. The whole army was wiped out, and he quickly shouted: "The whole army retreats."
When the Liangshan soldiers who were fleeing in embarrassment heard Hua Rong's order, they immediately turned around and ran away one by one, as if they were receiving a general amnesty.
Li Kui split a rolling log with an ax and was about to rush up, but was held back by Jiao Ting. He couldn't help shouting angrily: "We are only a dozen steps away. Don't drag me. I will split the gate of the village and everyone will rush in." Split those birds."
Hearing this, Jiao Ting hurriedly said: "Everyone can't rush in. If you go in alone, you will only be shot to death by random arrows."
"I don't believe it anymore, don't pull me."
Li Kui looked at the village gate a dozen steps away, but refused to give up.
Shi Wengong saw at the village gate that the Liangshan army had retreated, leaving only a few people in front of the village, so he ordered to stop throwing wood and rocks to avoid wasting a lot of money and not being able to support the officers and soldiers to come for reinforcements.
Zeng Sheng looked at Li Kui and Jiao Ting grabbing each other in front of the stronghold, and couldn't help but feel resentful. He picked up his bow and arrow and shot an arrow at Li Kui.
Xiang Chong and Jiao Ting saw him and hurried forward to use their shields to cover themselves.
Seeing that there were only a dozen shield bearers charging ahead, Shi Wengong immediately ordered the archers on the fence to fire arrows again.
There are still so many archers, but everyone has arrived below the stockade. The archers no longer need to shoot, but shoot from a high position, and the accuracy is naturally much improved.
With just one salvo, most of the dozen or so surviving group players fell.
Since there were fewer targets and the density of bows and arrows was much higher, Xiang Chong and Li Gun were suddenly unable to cover them all.
Li Kui liked to fight fiercely when he went into battle. He thought his armor would get in the way, so he always went into battle shirtless. Xiang Chong and Li Gun could only protect his upper body. Suddenly, he was hit by an arrow in the leg, staggering and falling to the ground.
When Jiao Ting saw it, he quickly pulled Li Kui and retreated.
Xiang Chong and Li Gun were struggling behind to block the bows and arrows.
Li Kui was dragged back by Jiao Ting, and he kept yelling and cursing, which prompted Shi Wengong to pick up his bow and arrow, look at Li Kui's face and shoot.
Xiang Chong hurriedly danced the tuanpai to protect Li Kui, but he heard a clicking sound. Shi Wengong's arrow shot through the shield, and it didn't get stuck on the shield until it reached the feathers. Xiang Chong quickly turned his head and saw that the arrow had already It was only an inch away from Li Kui's mouth.
"If Xiang Chong's shield had been closer to Li Kui, or if Shi Wengong's arrow had been one inch longer, the arrow would have hit Li Kui's mouth.
Li Kui looked at the arrow in front of his mouth and was so frightened that he closed his mouth and did not dare to scream again.
Seeing that the shot could not penetrate the shields of Xiang Chong and Li Gun, Shi Wengong put down his shield angrily.
Everyone finally retreated without any danger.
Seeing that Wu Yong had suffered many casualties and was still unable to attack by force, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the camp.
After this battle, there were many groans of wounded soldiers in the camp. Liangshan soldiers and horses had fought many times, and this was the first time that they had suffered many casualties. They could not storm Zengtou City, and their morale was suddenly low.
Wu Yong walked around the camp with the leaders, but he was also worried.
After entering the big account, Lu Zhishen couldn't help but said: "Everyone is thinking about some strategy to break this Zengtou market. Attacking by force is not an option."
Wu Yong also knew that Lu Zhishen was not targeting him, but it was always him who came up with the idea of ??a strong attack, so he was still a little unhappy in his heart. He was just worried about Lu Zhishen's prestige, and it was not easy to scold him directly like Li Kui and others.
When Guan Sheng was doing inspections in Pudong, he was engaged in suppressing bandits. He often fought in some villages and mountain peaks. Hearing this, he thought for a while and said: "In such a big market, if you don't believe it, there are no small roads." Enter it. Instead of sending people to ask for directions from nearby people, if you can find a small road, you can just take advantage of them and select a team of elite soldiers to rush into the stronghold and cooperate with each other inside and outside to break through Zengtou City."
Wu Yong also knew at this time that he was a little anxious. He thought that he could conquer Zengtou City in one battle today, but he didn't expect to lose his troops and generals. He was frustrated for a while.
However, he was unwilling to admit his mistake. Instead, he covered it up and said, "What General Guan said is true. Tomorrow, I will ask the four leaders Mu Hong, Fan Rui, Ou Peng, and Ma Lin to lead some light cavalry to investigate."??It's not that we don't have much food and grass, Xiaosheng won't try to attack today. "
Li Ying had been in charge of money and food before, and he was more concerned about food and grass. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask: "I wonder how many days of food and grass our army has?"
Wu Yong shook his head and said: "Excluding the food and grass for the return, there are only five days left."
Hearing this, Li Ying couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Then if we can attack Zengtou City in five days, we will have to withdraw our troops. I am afraid that the nearby state capitals have already received the news and are on tight alert. We will not be able to obtain food."
Wu Yong did not want his first expedition to lead an army to end in failure. He shook his head and said: "This battle is related to our reputation in Liangshan. Everyone must fight bravely to be the first to break Zengtou City."
Everyone could see Wu Yong's thoughts to some extent and could only respond in unison. (To be continued)
