Lingnan Gang

According to Wu Weiyang's arrangement, there are still 200 people who need to stay in the camp. On the one hand, they will protect Su Beiqin and others, and on the other hand, they will receive news. After all, their forces seem to be concentrated, but they are actually scattered in three places, and they need an intermediate hub.

The flag fluttered under the city, and the cool wind blew past with the wind and sand. Wu Weiyang put on all his armor, rode a horse and stood in the front, raised the silver spear in his hand to the sky, and said loudly: "Guangzhou guard! How dare you fight me! "

This roar was full of murderous intent, so Zhou Guangping was naturally not afraid. Although the number of rebels under the city was small, the formation was very different from the mob that had been wiped out before. Said: "This number seems wrong?"

The deputy general added: "Some people are still in Qulin, and some people are still in the camp, but we don't know the number yet."

However, at this time Zhou Guangcheng had no time to think too much, he asked, "Are the rolling stones and kerosene ready?"

The deputy general hurriedly said: "Ready."

Zhou Guangping nodded, and said calmly: "Once the battle starts, the archers will shoot first. If the others see someone coming up, they will use rolling stones or kerosene to force them back, and defend the city of Guangzhou!"

When he said the last sentence, his calm voice suddenly amplified like thunder, which shocked all the soldiers around him, and agreed in unison.

Wu Weiyang let out a "tsk", although his words were provocative, but in fact he was provoking the opponent's general to come out to fight, as long as the general dies, the city of Guangzhou will be destroyed by itself, but Zhou Guangping is a veteran, he not only ignores it, but also It is the most appropriate arrangement.

The sharp tip of Wu Weiyang's spear drew a semicircle in the air, pointing at the closed gate of Guangzhou, "Listen to the orders! Charge!"

A dozen rows of soldiers behind him immediately separated to the two sides to get out of the way. Wu Weiyang rode his horse back two steps and watched as a dozen soldiers pushed the flying bridge to the edge of the moat. As soon as the flying bridge was lowered, the soldiers pushed the ladder across the moat. The soldiers uniformly dressed in black armor passed the flying bridge one by one at a fast but not chaotic pace. More than 20 soldiers carrying three or four logs rushed to the city gate immediately and began to slam into the door, while other soldiers went up through the ladder. climb.

Because of the small number of ladders, Wu Weiyang didn't intend to let them pile up under the city wall like ants, or they would become conspicuous targets for attack. Those who climbed the ladders were all soldiers who had similar experience and were agile and vigorous, and most of the soldiers were Scattered behind him, the archers each chose their positions, and the shield soldiers stood aside to protect them. For a while, the arrows from both sides collided and staggered in mid-air, which could be vaguely seen even in the distant camp.

The soldiers on the ladder became the primary target of attack, and when one group fell down, the next batch would be picked up. However, the number was too small to form a large-scale siege formation. Fortunately, Wu Weiyang did not place his hopes on the people on the ladder. A lot of ziplines have been prepared, and for this group of soldiers who have lived in the Lingnan Mountains all year round, every one of them is very good at climbing the ziplines.

The soldiers who climbed to the edge of the city wall through the ladder hung the ziplines on their bodies to the city wall, while another group that had been arranged already grabbed the ziplines and climbed up immediately, and some skilled people threw the ziplines to the city wall by themselves. Climbing started between the gaps. In this way, as long as the situation goes well, four or fifty people can be boarded at the same time in a short while, and Wu Weiyang's group of well-trained archers has already made the defenders a little confused, and they only use their shields to resist the attack. Arrows raining down.

Wu Weiyang hid behind a large shield, holding a delicate crossbow in his hand, and shot an arrow through the rectangular gap above the shield to the city gate. Once the crossbow was released, someone would fall down on the city wall. Today's distance Although it was close, the current scene was not conducive to using the big bow, otherwise he would have shot Zhou Guangcheng who was hiding behind the shield with an arrow.

"Boss," Jiang Tianhe returned from the front line and huddled behind a shield with Wu Weiyang, and said, "The gate of the city is solid and cannot be opened for a while, and the kerosene poured from the city wall is not conducive to soldiers climbing , about one-third of the people who were originally arranged have died, and the situation is not good for us if this continues.”

Wu Weiyang fired a crossbow as if nothing had happened, and another person fell on the city. He withdrew his sharp gaze and looked at Jiang Tianhe, frowning slightly and said: "Tianhe, I thought that you would be more calm after following me for so long, why? Still so frizzy, if you don't trust Gao Chengping, don't you trust me?"

"Tianhe dare not," Jiang Tianhe bowed his head and said, "Tianhe believes in all the decisions made by the boss."

Wu Weiyang patted him on the shoulder and said: "We estimate that we can last for another two hours, and give Taiping another half an hour. If he hasn't finished, I won't count on him anymore."

Su Beiqin stood in front of the tent, looking at the place where the battle was taking place in the distance. The battle had just begun, and there was no gunpowder smoke or blood in the air. , and would not go into the camp to rest.

Suddenly, a soldier's report came from beside him: "Report to the military adviser, just received the news that the craftsmen have already built the catapult, and now General Ji is sending it over."

There was a smile on Su Beiqin's face. Although he didn't understand military affairs, in a city like Guangzhou, the strength of the two sides was very different. Naturally, the defenders of the city were far stronger than the attackers, and they couldn't afford time. It is a pleasant surprise for them to increase their odds by one point.

Si'er has been following Su Beiqin all the time, but because of Wu Weiyang, he had to follow Bai Zixia into the same tent aggrievedly. At this time, Bai Zixia didn't know where he went, and Si'er ignored him and just followed Su Bei. Qin.

"When the catapult comes, do you want to send it to the old... general?" Si'er asked softly.

Su Beiqin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly, "Don't worry, we have to wait."

Si'er asked puzzledly, "What are you waiting for?"

Su Beiqin didn't answer him, but just skipped the noisy battlefield in front of him, and looked into the city of Guangzhou. He couldn't see anything because of the tall city wall, but he knew that the most important part of this battle was going on. In the city of Guangzhou.

At this moment, Gao Chengping, who had left the team three days ago, had already changed out of his military uniform. He brought a dozen or so clever subordinates into the port guard uniform and entered the port in twos and threes. All of them grew up by the sea, and they are familiar with water and boat affairs. Some of them even stayed on the boat and worked as crew members. Different corners, just waiting for Gao Chengping to send orders.

There are several ports in Huangmu Bay. Even if the rebels attack, the bay is still full of ships. The crew, freight workers, businessmen from various countries and soldiers ordered to monitor make this place busy and very lively.

Since the war has already started, some of the soldiers here in the bay have also been transferred away. Although the superiors still asked them to check carefully, many people have begun to be absent-minded.

"Are you here for shift?" The soldier who was on guard looked at Gao Chengping suspiciously.

Gao Chengping smiled and said: "The two were transferred by the adjutant to defend the city, we were the ones who took over later."

The soldier wanted to ask something else, but the other sat down and said, "Okay, okay, I haven't gone back for two days, I'm really stuck, I'll take a step first, and you guys just watch over." yawn.

Seeing that the soldier in front of him still didn't leave, the yawning soldier came to pull him again and said, "Let's go, brother won some coppers yesterday, how about going to have a drink today?"

As soon as the soldier heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, and obediently followed the other one, but he didn't see the other one turning his head and showing a triumphant smile at Gao Chengping.

There was only a small disturbance on Gao Chengping's side, but fortunately the other groups of troops went very smoothly. In the past three days until now, Gao Chengping has replaced all the soldiers guarding the port with his own troops. Heaving a sigh of relief, he took out the signal flare in his sleeve and fired it into the sky. A sharp whistling pierced the sky instantly, but Zhou Guangcheng could only hear the shouts of rolling stones and soldiers, so naturally he didn't notice this small scene.

The moment the signal flare sounded, hundreds of celebrities poured out from all corners of Guangzhou City, seemingly aimlessly gathering towards the port. Once they entered the port, they jumped onto the boats that were staying in the port, and a dozen or so people anchored the ship. Drive to Guangzhou city.

The corners of Gao Chengping's mouth that had always been stiff finally relaxed. The blue sea was shimmering under the sunlight, and the gentle sea breeze blew past him from time to time. He held the waist knife at his waist and looked at the ship that was drifting away. Show a small smile.

Wu Weiyang, who was confronting Zhou Guangcheng, had already received the information. He stretched his waist and said to Jiang Tianhe: "Now you can send out a signal to let the military division send the catapult over. The good show will start soon."
