Chapter 793 Two Bad News
Shicheng.
"Kill!" Lu Meng roared, and the long sword went off.
"Bang!" The skin shield was split into two halves. The soldier behind the shield was stunned. A wisp of blood gushed out from his forehead. Then the skin cracked to both sides, revealing white bones. With a light "punch", the whole face was divided into two halves, and the two eyes looked in different directions. The soldier was about to scream, but the next moment he was kicked in the lower abdomen, soared into the air, climbed over the battlements, and fell heavily under the city.
"Turn them all down." Lu Meng shook his wrist, wiped the blood off the sleeve, and shouted sternly.
"Here!" A team of soldiers rushed towards the enemy who rushed to the city, with swords and shields in front, spears behind, and crossbows shooting in the distance, with more enemies in the enemy, like wolves driving sheep. Although the few warriors who rushed to the city were among the few soldiers, they were still chopped down to the ground one by one and then thrown down to the top of the city.
There were many corpses lying on the city, but compared with the battlefield opposite the moat, it was much cleaner. After all, there were a few people who could climb up the city, and most of them were shot and killed before they crossed the moat.
"The crossbowman comes forward, the sword and shieldman, and the spearman rest and wait for the battle." Lu Meng shouted.
"Here!" The soldiers agreed loudly and took their place. The sword and shield hands and spearmen retreated to the side, either drinking water and having meals, or checking weapons. The crossbowmen approached the city wall to shoot. With battlements cover, the crossbowmen can shoot boldly and make bold shots with strong crossbows, play a precise advantage, sniping valuable targets, shoot fast, play a fast shot, and perform short-range suppression. Compared with the opponents who shoot randomly, their killing efficiency is significantly higher.
Lu Meng led a few personal guards to another section of the city wall. Chen Dao was responsible for the dispatch of the entire city, and Lu Meng and Jiang Qin were each responsible for the emergency response of one city wall. Once a small group of enemies were killed on the top of the city, they would take the most elite personal guard camp to drive their opponents down. These guards were all allocated by Sun Ce from the guard camp. They knew that Lu Meng was a talent trained by Sun Ce himself and had a bright future. Sooner or later, they would be alone like Chen Dao, so they protected them very hard. But sooner they soon discovered that although Lu Meng and Jiang Qin were young, their martial arts skills were not weak at all, and almost no one was their opponents when fighting alone. After a few days of fighting, they won unanimous recognition from everyone.
Lu Meng held a knife, stern face, and was serious. He enjoyed the admiring gaze of the soldiers, but he knew that he was too young to be slackened, otherwise someone would inevitably regard him as a child, and this is the point he could not tolerate the most.
When Lu Meng came to the East Gate, Chen Dao was commanding the battle. The East Gate was Liu Yao's main attack direction, and the offensive was the most powerful. Chen Dao was responsible for it. While pulling the bow and shooting, he scanned the battlefield and made timely adjustments. After these days of battle, he was able to face any accident calmly. No matter what new siege method Liu Yao on the opposite side used, he could respond quickly and crack it.
This is certainly related to Sun Ce's emphasis on offensive and defensive skills, but also inseparable from the support of the Danyang County soldiers.
Some of these county soldiers were the original county soldiers, and some were Zulang's old subordinates, but they all had one thing in common. The family had a lot of land, with a few of them being 20 to 30 acres, and the more than 100 acres. Chen Dao followed Sun Ce's approach and traded with the Danyang tyrants, asking them to hand over the occupied land and compensate them with the production rights and monopoly rights of different commodities. Of course, some people were unwilling, but they were quickly suppressed. With the training of the county soldiers with land, the battle was very active. In their opinion, Liu Yao, like Zhou Xin, spoke for the tyrants and wanted to seize their land.
Anything else can be made, and the land cannot be given up. Whoever wants to seize their land will be their enemy.
The Danyang soldiers were originally fierce and aggressive, and their personal combat skills were excellent, but they lacked discipline and cooperation. With enthusiasm, after Chen Dao's training, these people were enthusiastic and their combat effectiveness was significantly improved, so that the enemies of the Danyang soldiers under the city did not gain any advantage. Even if there was any accident, as long as Chen Dao gave the order, they would be compensated soon.
"Swoosh!" Chen Dao let go of the bowstring, and the feather arrow left quickly. Qu Junhou, who was commanding the siege, fell down. Seeing this, the remaining soldiers threw down the siege equipment and scattered.
The soldiers on the city burst into laughter and shouted loudly, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
——
Liu Yao's face turned pale, his fists were clenched, his joints turned white, and his nails were sinking into his palms, tingling and heart-wrenching.
After sieging the city for a day, he lost more than a thousand, but the people who could climb the city wall were still counting. Even if he went through a lot of hardships, he could not gain a foothold and was quickly thrown down. Going to the city was almost equivalent to stepping into the gate of hell and he could not retreat even if he wanted to. There should be some reserve teams with very strong combat power at the top of the city, usually the main guard camp. But he kept paying attention to Chen Dao, who had hardly moved at the east gate.
In other words, in addition to Chen Dao, there are people in the city who can stand alone. This frustrated Liu Yao. He was originally young and had insufficient experience and could bully him, but he didn't expect that Chen Dao not only had a good manner in defending the city, but also had helpers when he was determined to command.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark and morale was declining again, Liu Yao had no intention of fighting again and retreated with a sharp metal.
The soldiers were relieved and evacuated the battlefield in turn according to the requirements of the military order. There was a burst of laughter on the city opposite. Although it was far away and I couldn't hear it clearly, Liu Yao knew that it was laughing at him, shy and annoyed. He couldn't sit in the command car, looking at the city wall opposite and the battle flag on the citytop.
Xu Shao walked over and stood silently in the command car. Liu Yao waited for a while, but when he saw that he didn't say anything, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He got out of the command car and tidied up his clothes. "What's wrong?"
"Two messages."
Liu Yao joked and wanted to adjust the atmosphere. "A good news, a bad news?"
Xu Shao looked at him. "No, one is bad news, the other is faster news."
Liu Yao was very embarrassed and said after a while: "Have Xu Gong lost?"
"Yes." Xu Shao nodded. "The whole army was wiped out."
Liu Yao's face froze and his eyebrows raised. "All army was wiped out?"
"That's right, before the war, the Wujun family turned to Sun Ce and met Sun Ce in Huqiu. The Wujun County soldiers turned against each other. Xu Gong was killed and he didn't even have time to retreat."
Liu Yao glanced at Xu Shao without asking questions. Xu Shao did not tell the truth, he must have concealed something, but the details were not important. Xu Gong died and Sun Ce controlled Wu County. This was the key. Once Sun Ce led his troops to come, he would be attacked from both sides.
"What about another news?"
"Taishici sent someone to send news, Tongguan Mountain, Fuhu Mountain, and Shimen Mountain, the strongest bandits in conflict and collapsed without fighting." Xu Shao said quietly: "It seems that Taishici is not as capable as you said. Liu Jun, you'd better have a backup plan."
Liu Yao's face turned blue and red, he let out a few heavy breaths, shook his sleeves, and jumped into the car.
"Go back to camp!"
