After Lin Fengjin boarded the tower, he saw the densely packed Dongxia army charging over with loud shouts. What greeted them were vicious sharp arrows. The sharp shooting skills of the archers from Sanli directly caused the Dongxia army to attack.

The Dongxia army had to pay nearly 30% casualties before they could rush to the bottom of the city wall. However, at this time, the Dongxia army also began to shout and use bows, arrows and crossbows to fight back. Although the various protective measures on the city tower were very complete, they still could not reach the bottom of the city wall.

It was impossible to keep everything from leaking, and this began to directly lead to casualties among the Sanli tribe members.

Although the arrows were like flying locusts, the Dongxia Army still showed a strong will to fight. They gritted their teeth and shouted slogans to erect the ladder------and then began to climb up one by one. However, at this time, the bastions on both sides

It started to show its power, forked poles, clap sticks, scratching hooks and other things were poked out from some inconspicuous holes, and the five ladders that were set up were quickly pulled down, and the people on them all suffered severe injuries from the fall."

ｓｈｅｅｅｎ＂.

Seeing that the offensive was frustrated, the Dongxia Army began to retreat. However, compared to the dense formation during the attack, only a few people could escape. At this time, the city head of Wuzuo City also began to wave red flags and blew the sound.

The sound of two short and three long horns began to make the men stationed at the top of the city change their defenses and let the new troops enter.

There is no doubt that many people are not happy with this order. They argue one after another, thinking that they still have enough strength and spirit to guard it. However, the end of these thorny people is often a whip, and they have to mutter and shrink their mouths.

The head is gone.

In the last three miles, the number of casualties counted was forty-six. Only five unlucky ones were hit in the vital points by the counterattack from the city. The rest were slightly injured, and the enemy left at least four to five hundred corpses. This way

The ratio of battle losses seems outrageous. But it is normal at the beginning of a city offensive and defensive battle. A large number of casualties will appear during the battle for the city head. At that time, the city head can only be described as a meat grinder, and at that time...

.....It was also the time when the five thousand heavily armored soldiers sent by Li Hu showed their power.

The setting sun was like blood. At this time, the corpses that had fallen under the city wall of Wuzuo City had been piled up one after another, so that the originally planned four-foot-high city wall seemed to be only two or three feet high. After an afternoon of bravery,

After the crazy attack of death, the Dongxia Army finally succeeded in setting up a ladder on the top of Wu Zuocheng. Unfortunately, they didn't know that this was done intentionally by Fang Ming, because the wild boar's big ax was already hungry and thirsty, and he begged.

The name of the party has been around for a long time. Ask him to put some people on top of the city so that he can loosen his muscles and bones. Otherwise, lazy maggots will grow in the bones...

Fang Ming only allowed two ladders to be put up to climb the city, so they saw wild boars, like tractors on the rampage, rushing here and knocking away a group of people. Then they rushed to the other side and knocking away a group of people.

Of course, the most unlucky people were those who lined up to climb the ladder below. I don’t know how many were injured and killed. To be honest, these warriors who were selected to climb the city can be regarded as outstanding talents among the Dongxia Army.

It's just that they were born at the wrong time and they met a more ferocious pervert...

The sky gradually darkened. Lin Fengjin also heard the Dongxia Army's horn sound in the distance, calling for troops to retreat...Wait, that's not right! Why is it a horn sound? This obviously means that

The horn sounds to continue the attack. Did this guy go crazy as soon as he arrived? In front of the land bridge, large areas of torches were lit, fully demonstrating Dongxia's determination to continue the attack!

Attacking a city overnight is a double-edged sword. Although it is very harmful to the defenders, it will also cause a further loss of morale for the siege.

At this time, Fang Ming had already begun to give orders to assemble the five thousand armored troops under his command. For Fang Ming, who had experienced hundreds of battles, he had encountered even the most outrageous things, such as when he defended the city, he

It was such a bizarre event that the city gate was opened by a traitor, let alone such a trivial matter as a mere overnight siege?

Thinking about it carefully, Li Minghua's decision is definitely not wrong. The most powerful threat among Wu Zuocheng is the long-range archers. As soon as it gets dark, the threat of archers will be eliminated by 70 to 80% in an instant! On the way to the charge,

The casualties will be reduced by at least half. In this case, the main battlefield will inevitably take place on the top of the city!

However, now that Li Minghua has made a decision, Lin Fengjin can only accept it with a sneer. The right way is to come back and not to be disrespectful. Actually, Li Minghua made a statement, so Lin Fengjin naturally had to retaliate.

At this time, when the tide was still high, Lin Fengjin ordered to blow three long and one short horns, and at the same time lit two piles of bonfires close together on the city wall! Soon, there was also a sound coming from the distant sea.

The long trumpet sound!

The ambush prepared by Lin Fengjin also appeared immediately!

It has been tested long ago that at high tide, a five-masted ship can use the momentum of the tide to sail to a place thirty feet away from the land bridge, and a three-masted ship can even approach within ten feet of the land bridge, and these ships are all required to carry out operations.

Maritime transportation, modified armed merchant ships, the firepower on these ships is also very fierce, that is to say, anyone who wants to pass the land bridge will have to withstand the flank attacks of four ocean-going ships!

The equipment on these ships is equally sophisticated. The "shooting pole" and "mounted heavy armor" were removed from the side of the ship. After emergency installation, there were a total of ten bed crossbows, eight small trebuchets, and eight oxen crossbows.

Three of them have extremely powerful firepower, and they throw out triangular spikes from time to time, making them even more difficult to guard against in the dark.

The Dongxia sergeants who rushed to the land bridge often suffered heavy losses from these horrific weapons while running towards the city wall. Then during the process of climbing the ladder, there would be many secret holes in the city wall, from which there were strange things.

The spear thrust out was as deadly as the bite of a poisonous snake.

However, the Dongxia Army still has its own advantages after all. It is still sending its soldiers to the city in a steady stream. It has to be said that in this environment of armored formations and fighting, the grassland people are obviously at a disadvantage.

, Fortunately, 5,000 heavy armored soldiers sent by Li Hu took turns to fight, forming a steel front on the top of the city. Taking advantage of the strong geographical advantage, they intercepted the Dongxia army and killed the Dongxia soldiers who fell from the top of the city.

It was like making dumplings, falling crazily, and the fierce battle ended in a night. The city head that was originally four feet high actually became only more than one foot high! You can see how thick the corpses were below!

When the light of dawn shone on the earth, this long and bloody night finally passed. The Dongxia Army finally stopped blowing the horns to advance, and the sergeants who came one after another also receded like a tide, and the battlefield was filled with smoke and flags.

Piao Yang, the two sides seemed to be two beasts that had fought hard to the end and were exhausted. Now they began to bend down and lick their wounds silently.

As usual, Lin Fengjin and others began to use psychological tactics again, and a group of burly men rode out and shouted:

"Hey! You stupid sheep from Eastern Xia, listen up. We need to catch up on our sleep after fighting all night last night! So we have a truce for three hours. If you agree, you are allowed to collect the corpses and take away the wounded!

"

But this time, Li Minghua directly responded with intensive shooting and decisively rejected the proposal.

He ordered to finish breakfast and continue the siege!

Doing so will undoubtedly demoralize them even more.

But Li Minghua felt that the other party was equally sad. The upper limit was about to be reached. It depends on which of the tight strings between the two sides breaks first! In the final analysis, it is the superiority of the elite regular army that is at play. At this time, it has been determined that the overwhelming majority of the people who defend Wu Zuocheng will

Some of them are still barbarians on the grassland, and the barbarians on the grassland give people the impression that they are fierce but short-lasting. Fighting can only be based on bloody courage, and they will quickly collapse once they enter the stalemate stage.

So Li Minghua decisively ordered the siege to continue regardless of everything!

It's a pity that in Wuzuo City, the trebuchets that have not shown their power for a long time are showing off again! More than twenty trebuchets threw kerosene barrels at the same time, easily burning the front end of the land bridge into a large sea of ​​​​fire. If Li Minghua actually dared to force his hand

If they had to go down and charge into the sea of ​​fire, it would be obvious that these big-headed soldiers who had been holding back their anger would have mutinied long ago.

Therefore, Li Minghua could only watch helplessly as the defenders in Wu Zuocheng came out to clean the battlefield. It happened that it was extremely convenient to clean the battlefield here. The remains of corpses were pushed directly to both sides of the land bridge. Below was a deep ravine of dozens of feet. Once the tide rose,

As soon as I got up, it was washed away.

Then, the most shameless thing happened. Those wounded and prisoners who survived the siege were screened out one by one. Then they were escorted to the front, where a group of strong men shouted loudly and passionately:

"Commander opposite, listen, for the sake of living a good life, I am not willing to slaughter disabled soldiers, so I will give you a chance to redeem them. The tall one will be worth one tael of silver, the medium-sized one will be half a tael of silver, and the thin one will be bought back.

Three hundred coins for those with minor injuries, two hundred coins for those with serious injuries...If they don’t agree, they will be put in the first row and used as human shields!”

How dare Li Minghua refuse to agree to such a condition? These people who were captured and seriously injured had friends, subordinates, etc., and they were comparing themselves with each other, not to mention that the conditions on the other side were not harsh at all. If they refused, even if these people did not mutiny on the spot,

They also have to run away half of them immediately. Besides, if they don't agree and push these wounded soldiers out to make human shields, then there will be no way to fight this battle.

However, Li Minghua was full of bitterness, because he clearly felt that there was a huge conspiracy in this! But he had no way to prevent the completion of this transaction. He could only explain to the military judge who went to the transaction:

, Bring a thousand taels of silver over there, it's enough anyway, make a quick transaction and come back.

As soon as the two parties came into contact, Li Minghua immediately knew that he had been tricked!

Why do you say that? It turns out that the prairie barbarians across the street refused to do wholesale business, but only agreed to come one by one. The military judge just threw a thousand taels of silver over and he didn't even recognize it! No matter what you say, the big boss is just ah ah ah ah ah

Those who expressed that they did not understand had to come one by one according to the previous rules: "One tael for a tall man, half a tael for a medium body, 300 taels for a thin body, 500 taels for a slight injury, and 200 taels for a serious injury."

If this continues, a total of five to six hundred prisoners will be captured one by one, and there will be no fighting during the day!!

The military judge was heartbroken and could only tell the cruel reality to the coach.

However, Li Minghua knew that if the transaction was interrupted now, the consequences might be worse than if he did not agree to the transaction in the first place! This is like giving someone hope and then cruelly killing it.

, what do the relatives and friends who captured the wounded think?

There is no doubt that if one side attacks and the other defends, the longer the attacking side's attack is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be to the attacking side. There is a saying in the ancient military books that one can make great efforts, then fail, and three times will be exhausted.

At this time, Fang Ming was standing at the top of the city, watching the slow procession of exchanging prisoners without shortening for a long time. He couldn't help but admire him and said:

"Young master's clever plan is beyond the reach of his reputation."

Lin Fengjin smiled and said:

"These off-board tricks are still tricks after all. If there was no general fighting to the death last night, there would be no room for me to use these tricks."

The two looked at each other and smiled, but they felt a sympathy for each other. Fang Ming continued:

"After being forced to a standstill by us, Li Minghua just wanted to continue fighting, but his subordinates were also overwhelmed. After all, they fought fiercely all night last night, and his sergeants were not made of iron. So tonight's harassment is very crucial.

Already."

Lin Fengjin said:

"More than 30 Fire Kite Flying with the Wind have been made. However, Li Minghua is a veteran and has rich experience, so he should probably take precautions."

Fang Mingdao:

"If that's the case, why not try two moves at the same time?"

Lin Fengjin hesitated and said:

"Isn't it too early to use that move so quickly?"

Fang Ming shook his head and said:

"That's not too early. The key is that this blow will hit the opponent's seven-inch vital point, and the results can be said to be very astonishing."

Lin Fengjin said:

"Okay, but this trick will have miraculous effects once used, but if you use it once, the opponent will be on guard. Since General Fang thinks it's worth it, let's use it."

***

At this time, Li Minghua felt very anxious in his heart. He only felt that he was a trapped beast with infinite power. However, layers of viscosity wrapped around his body. After breaking free, he continued to be restrained, and there was actually something
To be continued...
