1028 As expected of the grandson of Deng Zilong
"Bangbangbang..."
The sound of bowstrings continues!
"Puff puff puff..."
The sounds of bows and arrows inserted into wooden fences, shields, land, and human bodies are endless.
On the top of the city, Deng Kelu watched all this coldly. He has experienced many battles and has experienced countless big and big wars. Although it is indeed the first time he has participated in such a big war, for him, it is actually just like this and it will not affect him much!
Fortifications have been built on the periphery of the camp outside the city and trenches have been dug. Although it is not as exaggerated as the moat, it is not so easy for the attacking army to cross this trench.
The square formation, which was originally tightly arranged and protected by long shields, finally revealed its flaws when it arrived in front of the trench. The soldiers from each camp immediately launched a counterattack, and rows of arrows jumped into the sky, drawing a beautiful arc, and then rushed to the ground sharply. The "puff puff" sounded, and screams came from time to time.
On the top of the city, Deng Kelu watched the two problematic chieftain troops including Longchuan coldly, but he didn't believe that these chieftain troops would not cause trouble!
Sure enough, just after watching the formation, Deng Kelu discovered that Dongwu's army was a little thunder and raindrops. It seemed to be coming in a fierce manner, but it stopped at the trench. Although it was attacking, it was actually mainly defense.
However, it is completely different on the Longchuan chieftain army. The Dongwu army was actually trying hard, thinking of ways to cross the trenches, and the intensity of the attack was even greater than that of other camps.
If anyone who doesn't know the inside story read it, he would think that Dongwu's army chose the Longchuan chieftain army as the main attack direction, so this situation happened. But Deng Kelu knew the background of the Longchuan chieftain army, and then he saw the problem.
Although Dongwu's army was eager to cross the trench here, the long shield formation had already revealed many flaws, but the bows and arrows of the Longchuan Tusi army seemed to have eyes, and most of them fell on the long shield; there were even many bows and arrows, which seemed to be weak and fell to the ground before they even flew to the trench. Compared with the counterattacks of other Tusi army, the counterattack power of the Longchuan Tusi army was significantly weaker, but together, they could still shoot a lot of arrows, but few arrows shot at the Dongwu's soldiers.
Even after seeing the soldiers of Youdongwu army fell into the trench, Deng Kelu quickly climbed up from the trench just like nothing happened. When he saw this, he was sure that there was definitely something wrong with the trench!
When he saw many of the Dongwu long shield soldiers crossing the trench and pretending to form a series of tight long shield defense lines to cover more Dongwu soldiers behind him to cross the trench, he probably guessed what the other party’s intention was?
Haha, since that's the case, you can act slowly! Deng Kelu sneered in his heart and began to mobilize his troops on the top of the city.
The vanguard general of Dongwu, Shi Demeng, was so excited when he saw more and more subordinates crossing the trench. This was the first step to success. Hehe, in front of thousands of troops, I, Shi Demeng, would be the first to attack Mengmi City!
Thinking of this, he urged his subordinates again and said, "Come on, hurry up and rush over!"
As long as the number of people crossed the trenches and seemed unstoppable, the Longchuan chieftain army had reason to abandon the village and hide in the city, demanding reinforcements from the Ming army and regain the camp. By that time, it would be a good opportunity to seize the city gate and enter Mengmi in one fell swoop.
As he thought, in the Longchuan chieftain army camp, Jiuzhao Division watched more and more Dongwu troops appear outside the camp. When the long shield formation was closed tightly, he ordered: "Shoot me, shoot hard, the faster the better, the more ruthless the better, don't retain your strength!"
If the play is performed more realistically, at least one has to work hard. At most, it is because the timing is not determined and it will be in vain.
So, the sound of shouting and killing on the battlefield here was shocking, and the momentum was simply amazing. Those who didn't pay attention to the movement and the momentum just looked at the moment, just watching the movement and hearing the momentum, they thought that the fierce battle had reached the most critical moment.
Finally, Dongwu's army slowly advanced and approached the camp. The shield formation, which was like a forest, slowly moved, without giving the frontal Longchuan chieftain army any chance.
Master Jiu Zhao frowned a little. Logically speaking, at this time, the Ming army on the city wall should at least use long-range weapons such as bows and arrows to support it. Why is there no movement at all?
Thinking of this, when someone came to ask for instructions, he ordered: "Hold on for a while, pretend to send troops to attack, and then retreat immediately, so that the Ming army on the top of the city could see that we had done our best, but Dongwu's army was too many, so we had to retreat and ask for help!"
Like him, Shi Demeng also saw it strangely. Logically speaking, the offense and defense here should be the most "efficient". The Ming army on the top of the city needs to support it with long-range weapons, right? But it is almost approaching the camp, why hasn't there any movement yet?
As the shouts of killing were shouting, Shi Demeng ignored it and continued to increase his troops, forcing the Ming army on the top of the city to go out of the city to rescue.
The army of Longchuan chieftain tried to fight, but quickly retreated. The camp they set up seemed to have turned into rotten wood overnight, falling down with one push, without any defensive ability.
Dongwu's army finally slowly entered the camp, while Longchuan chieftains fled to the city one after another. The chieftain Ji Zhaoshi was naturally the first to escape, even holding a knife in his own hands, making him seem to be fighting on the front line. He raised his head and shouted loudly: "Where is Your Highness? Dongwu's army is too many. I want to grab the camp back, and I also ask the heavenly soldiers to help me!"
The leaders of his subordinates also shouted, showing that they had to snatch back the camp and kill Dongwu's army. For a moment, under the city wall, the leaders of Longchuan chieftains and their subordinates repeatedly asked for it against the background of their soldiers "struggle to resist" Dongwu's army, and only expressed one meaning. They did not investigate for a while, so that there were too many Dongwu's army that crossed the trenches. As long as the Ming army could go out of the city to help, they would definitely be able to snatch back the camp to death!
In the distance, King Long unconsciously held a wine glass, but forgot to drink, just stared at the Longchuan chieftain army. Seeing that it had reached a critical moment, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. If the Ming army did not want to lose the outer fortifications, it should go out of the city to rescue, right?
Or if Master Jiu Zhao and others shouted loudly, Meng Mi’s guard Deng Kelu appeared at the top of the city and said loudly to the following: “Since that’s the case, you are ready to counterattack!”
Hearing this, Master Jiu Zhao couldn't help but be overjoyed. It seemed that the Ming army had finally been fooled.
But before he could have been happy for a while, he heard a continuous sound of "bangbang" on the top of the city. Suddenly, he felt the darkness in front of him. Looking up, he saw the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun shooting across their heads into the distance.
"..." Seeing this, Master Jiu Zhao couldn't help but be stunned. There were so many arrows at one time, did the Ming army concentrate all the archers here?
Thinking of this, he felt something was wrong and quickly turned around to look. But near the trench, behind the long shield formation, the spearmen, round shield swords and other soldiers all became hedgehogs and died all over the ground. In just a short while, the army near the trench cut off the Dongwu attacking army's formation. There were only less than a thousand troops left on the trench, and most of them were long shield hands.
This time, Master Jiu Zhao was stunned. Shi Demeng was urging him, and even King Talong, who was watching the battle from a distance, was stunned.
The reason why he had to attack the city on all sides was to restrain the Ming army's defensive counterattack power on the city. But unexpectedly, the Ming general was so bold that when Meng Mi was attacked on all sides, he also concentrated all the archers to the Longchuan Tusi wall and came to support him with a dense bow and arrow.
They were stunned, but even the Longchuan chieftain soldiers and Dongwu soldiers who knew that both sides were fake fighting were stunned. What happened was different from what the adults expected!
For a moment, an incredible scene appeared on the battlefield here. The place where the shouts of killing were shocking, suddenly became soundless.
At this time, Deng Kelu shouted majesticly and loudly: "Why don't you catch the fighter plane and counterattack and retake the camp!"
Indeed, Donggo's army was divided into two by a large number of archers concentrated on the top of the city, and most of the ones in front were long shield soldiers who did not have melee ability, which was an excellent counterattack opportunity. But the problem is that this should not be the case!
When Deng Kelu saw that the Longchuan chieftains army under the city did not respond, he shouted loudly: "Don't you counterattack immediately, and do not take action for disobeying military orders and delaying military aircraft. Come on, prepare for the rolling wood and stones, and prepare for the archers!"
Hearing this voice, Master Jiu Zhao was so scared that he ran away. He and his men fled under the city wall, and he had no defense ability at all. Once the Ming army on the city really wanted to attack them, there would be no casualties! But how could his own army dare to attack Dongwu's army!
While he was hesitating, Deng Kelu's death-hunting voice sounded again on the top of the city: "I will say three times, but if I don't fight back, I will be executed by disobeying military orders!"
"three"
"two"
Hearing this, Master Jiu Zhao did not dare to bet whether Deng Kelu was scaring them or really daring to attack. He quickly ran out of the city wall first. When his subordinates saw it, they also fled under the city wall.
But he didn't dare to really attack Dongwu Changshi Soldier. In this way, he had only one way to go. Run over and say hello to Changshi Soldier. Come on, I'll help you lift the shield and take hands together to withdraw it.
Seeing the Longchuan chieftain army and the Dongwu Chang Shield soldiers collided, but there was no fight, but retreated together, Deng Kelu sneered and immediately ordered: "Shoot!"
The rain of arrows covering the sky rose into the air again, and even the sound of "boom boom boom" cannons were mixed. By the time Longchuan Tushi and Dongwu's army fled back to the trench, half of their accomplices were missing.
Shi Demeng looked at all this and looked at Master Jiu Zhao who came in front of him, and his heart was extremely disappointed. He thought he had a great achievement, but the result was good. Not only did he expose his internal support, but he also lost his troops. In this siege battle, he counted his subordinates for the most losses!
The result here made King Long, who was far away, look gloomy. The Ming army was indeed not so easy to deal with. The guard was worthy of being Deng Zilong's grandson. He had such great courage to gather archers from all over the city to support him while sieging the city from all directions. This was extremely bold, but it just broke his wishful thinking!
Of course he didn't know that his combat intention had been judged by Deng Kelu, and he knew that other wall sections would not be in danger, so he was relieved to concentrate all the archers. In fact, even if other wall sections were not feint attacks, he was not afraid. Even if the archers defended, secret weapons were still prepared on the top of the city, and they could still defend the top of the city.
King Talong was also a decisive person. Seeing that his combat goal had not been achieved, he ordered the Jin to withdraw his troops without hesitation. The civil servants who had been flattering before were also silent, and even tried their best to prevent themselves from appearing in front of King Talong, so as not to be angry with King Talong.
When Dongwu's army retreated like a tide, the Ming army soldiers who had experienced such a great war for the first time on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief. While wiping sweat on their foreheads, they recalled everything just now. They felt that although Dongwu's army was large, they were protected by the city walls. It seemed that Dongwu's army was not that scary anymore!
The Tang King in the city already knew the detailed decisive battle plan here, and when he heard the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops from outside the city, he finally calmed down and had a smile on his face. He only smiled and said to Zhong Lizhi: "The barbarians outside the city are very noisy. They didn't sleep well all night. Let's make up for a good night!"
"Your Highness has something to work hard in the future, so you should have a good rest." Zhong Lizhi did not say that it was very quiet last night and there was no movement, but just responded with a smile.
The Ming army soldiers who were rotating on the top of the city also took advantage of this opportunity to start the rotating on the top of the city. When the soldiers on the top of the city retreated, the worried comrades asked, and they smiled and shared their feelings. In fact, although there were many barbarians, they were just like this!
Invisibly, the Ming army's ability to withstand pressure was well trained. If King Long thought of this, he would probably vomit blood! However, although he was not angry at this time, he looked unhappy, and everyone knew that he was unhappy. In the tent of the matter, it seemed that the civil servants and generals standing were all like clay bodhisattvas.
In the end, King Long knew that he could not lose the morale of the army, so he suppressed his unhappiness and said with a smile: "In this battle, our army has received two chieftain troops. From this, we can see that our army has many helps, and the Ming army will definitely become a lonely man. I believe that it will be able to take Meng Mi in a few days!"
Hearing that he had opened his head, Shi Demeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and responded quickly: "Yes, yes, all the chieftains have come back after long reverberation. The Ming army will definitely become a lonely man and be annihilated by our army!"
"Your Highness is mighty!"
“…”
Fortunately, there was indeed a chieftain army surrendering at the last moment. Otherwise, if it was just Longchuan chieftain, it would be embarrassing. Because before, most civil officials and generals with status had already known that the Longchuan chieftain army was actually an internal force. Now that the internal force is gone, how can we fight next?
