Yangzhou soldiers braved the threat of bed crossbows under the city, quickly loaded stone bullets, and then fired them towards the city head.

A few stone bullets flew towards the top of the building, but unfortunately, all of them fell outside the city wall, not even hitting the wall, and one piece went over the top of the city and fell into the urn city.

"It was a false alarm. It seems that the opponent's trebuchet is not very accurate, and the projection distance is not as good as ours." Tian Yu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the stone bullets thrown by the opponent in a hurry.

Chapter 394 Gao Ming is Really Smart

"Keep firing, keep hitting me!"

Liu Ye had already said that the accuracy of the trebuchet would not be very good, so Zhang Ying was not disappointed when he was disappointed, but ordered the soldiers to continue throwing stones.

Yangzhou soldiers braved the threat of bed crossbows and continued to attack with stone bombs.

However, the power of the bed crossbows in the city is too much to be astonishing. The accuracy of things like bed crossbows is very high, so they calmly aimed at the catapults.

Even if one arrow didn't destroy the trebuchet, it could wound one or two soldiers.

However, the stones projected by Zhang Ying's trebuchet were still sparse, either falling inside the city or outside the city.

Occasionally, one bomb hit the city wall, but it did not pose any threat.

The mechanical weapons of the two sides fought, and as time went by, the winner was quickly decided.

"My lord, it's too late. We only have one trebuchet left, and the operator suffered heavy casualties."

The general who supervised the battle had to come back to report to Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying was a little annoyed and said: "Idiots, a group of idiots, withdraw the people, don't destroy the last one, I will notify the military adviser."

"It's the general!" The National People's Congress breathed a sigh of relief, and the only remaining trebuchet withdrew from the attack sequence.

"Siege! Give me a strong attack!" The trebuchet failed to pry open the gate of Haixi City, so Zhang Ying could only use the old man to do it, use the crowd tactics, and use the momentum to crush the opponent's will and resistance.

"kill……"

An army of [-] swarmed towards the city, those who carried the ladders, and those who carried the quiver for cover.

"Counterattack!"

Lu Su, Tian Yu and others immediately commanded the defenders in the city to launch a counterattack.

Wood, stones, and gold juice are smashed down, and the brakes are thrown down.

The crossbowman kept shooting arrows, and the bed crossbow continued to strike from a distance.

Tian Yu organized infantry armed with swords and spears to chop down the Yangzhou soldiers who had just been sent to the wall.

The two armies fought fiercely.

Soon the Yangzhou soldiers lost their courage and withdrew without Mingjin.

"Bastard, who told you to withdraw? Continue to attack me. If you can't take Haixi, what face will you have to see the lord?" Zhang Ying was so angry that he drew his sword and killed a young general who took the lead in retreating, and then organized the army to launch a new round. come in.

Soon the Yangzhou army launched a fierce attack again. In less than half an hour, there were as many as 5000 casualties, and there were mountains of corpses and blood, and Haixi City was still unable to attack.

Zhang Ying had no choice but to let Ming Jin withdraw his troops.

Those who joined the army retreated like a tide.

Lu Su, Tian Yu and others had time to relax and celebrate.

"Phew! Although the enemy was repulsed by us, but to be honest, their soldiers are quite strong, and they fight very hard." Tian Yu sat on a corpse with a meteor gun in his hand, breathing heavily. .

It was the first time for him to defend the city independently. He used to charge with Xu Ding and others, and he didn't find it hard. He always had an inexhaustible energy and was always excited.

Now it's changed to defending the city and commanding the soldiers to fight, physically and mentally exhausted.

Fortunately, Lu Su shared the pressure.

Lu Su also said: "Yes! It's also the first time I have met such ruthless soldiers. There is a huge gap between them and the bandits in Jiujiang."

It was also the first time for Lu Su to fight such a motivating battle, and he was also highly nervous.

"Zijing, tell me if we want to attack the camp at night and fuck him." Tian Yu said, looking at the camp where Zhang Ying retreated.

Lu Su said: "It's okay to steal the camp, but not tonight, Zhang Yingken will be on guard. Our task now is to defend the city, not to kill and destroy the enemy. As long as we are in the city, we are victorious. Let's wait, wait for the young Ping and the others are in the same hand, and when Zhang Ying's morale plummets and she retreats, she will have a chance."

Tian Yu thought about it, and felt that Lu Su was right and he was more stable, so he gave up this immature suggestion.

next day!

Zhang Yingao stayed for half a night and found that the Donglai Army hadn't come to steal the camp. He shook his head and cried and laughed: "Damn! This general who defends the city is either an old-fashioned guy or a smart guy. This Haixi City is not easy to fight." ah!"

After breakfast, Zhang Ying tried to fight, but found that the counterattack was still quite fierce, so he had to retreat knowing that the attack was hopeless.

Then he wrote to report to Liu Ye and asked him for advice on how to break the city.

It's just that Liu Ye is one head and two big at this time, and he doesn't care about Zhang Ying at all.

Because two bad news followed.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, the first Donglai water army, attacked Xiaxiang, and successfully circumvented Jushui and entered the upper reaches of Huai River, and captured Sui Ling. Being drilled in by them, there will be endless disasters, not to mention the danger in Huaiyin, the entire Xiapi Kingdom and Guangling County will not be at peace.

The second piece of bad news was even worse. The Donglai naval forces went as far as the East China Sea and attacked Jiangdu by surprise from Dajiang River. They then lured Ze Rong to capture Guangling City and released Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling. All counties and cities turned to support Zhao. Yu, the retreat of the [-] Yangzhou Legion was cut off.

In other words, they were surrounded by the Donglai Army.

Surrounded by Huaiyin and Huaipu, the only thing that is not surrounded is the east, but there is the sea.

Liu Yao didn't bring the navy at all. The established navy was in Jiangdu with Dantu. It is estimated that Yijing was killed by the Donglai army.

Liu Yao's foundation was uprooted.

"Great! Really clever! This is like Wei Haihou's handwriting."

The Donglai navy that had been looking for so hard finally surfaced, and Liu Ye suddenly realized.

At this moment, all doubts in his heart were solved.

I have to admire Xu Ding's view of the overall situation and his clever tricks.

From the very beginning, his goal was not to repel Liu Yao and help Xuzhou retreat from the enemy.

Instead, he wants to swallow Liu Yao whole, and take a drastic drudgery from the bottom of the pan.

If you don't make a move, you will die, and if you make a move, you will destroy one of the princes.

Such boldness, fortunately, a game of chess.

"It's just that what to do next seems to be a choice."
