Chapter Thirty-One
"Enemy attack!"
Hearing the harsh sound of breaking through the air, Chen Ying's hair exploded instantly. He shouted in a stern manner: "Enemy attack!"
Chen Ying was not afraid of the enemy's surprise attack, but he never expected that the enemy would launch an attack on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year. Although the personal guard regiment was one regiment, there were only two brigades, and there was only one brigade following Chen Ying at this time. However, Liang Zan's reaction was not slow. As the sound of breaking through the air came, he immediately snatched a large shield and protected Chen Ying tightly.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding
The defenders in the city gate tower screamed in shock. Some looked for shoes, while others touched weapons, and they were in chaos. Fortunately, the city gate tower had good defense and ignored the shooting of bows and arrows. There were no casualties.
The equipment led by the Right Guard was excellent, and it was not bad at all. When Chen Ying supported Lingzhou, Prince Li Jiancheng took advantage of his position to draw a large part of it from the armed warehouse. Even a small soldier in the personal guard was wearing heavy armor that only heavy infantry was qualified to be equipped.
Even if the shield is not used, the arrows will have very limited damage to them. Chen Ying shouted: "Who was injured?"
The scream stopped abruptly at this moment. Several soldiers gritted their teeth and shouted: "I can't die, I'll be bitten by a mosquito!"
Except for the lights on the city gate tower, there was a large area of darkness under the city, and nothing could be seen.
"Extinguish the torch, let's light the torch now, we are the targets of the enemy!" Liang Zan yelled: "Extinguish the torch quickly... extinguish the torch."
Several guard soldiers were preparing to put out the torches, but at this moment, Chen Ying pushed away the soldiers and shields pressing against him: "Extinguish the fart, throw the torch out and see how many enemies there are!"
After receiving Chen Ying's order, several soldiers threw out the torches in their hands like pitchers.
The torches are never as weak as those of later generations, and the light is very limited. However, dozens of torches are flying in the air, and the originally dark city gradually reveals clues.
There are more than a thousand enemy troops under the city, and they are now advancing layer by layer. The enemy generals should have a very good understanding of Lingzhou City. The key directions of the advancement are all defensive corners.
"Damn it, I'm playing this trick with me!" Chen Ying retreated to the city gate tower and suddenly saw more than a dozen turbulent oil barrels in the city gate tower. The brigade coach who was guarding the Dongcheng city gate tower was about to sound the alarm bell. Chen Ying said: "Don't panic, now the alarm bell is ringing. The people in the city don't know how many invading enemies there are. If they step on each other, they will definitely lose a lot!"
Chen should have sent a letter and quickly wrote down several orders.
"I will be ordered to command the right and left deputy commanders of the Right Guard, Gao Yunquan, He Yuejing, and Du Shanguo, who will be in charge of the army, will be in charge of the three cities in the south, north and west respectively, and the chief of Lingzhou will be in charge of the general administration of the formation to appease the people!"
Chen Ying passed the order in an orderly manner, and the soldiers who were originally frightened and calmed down instantly when they saw Chen Ying. Although Chen Ying looked handsome and did not have the majesty of a military general, Chen Ying was the god of war for the soldiers.
Chen Ying led less than 4,000 soldiers to conquer Bogulu City in one battle, beheading nearly 1,000 levels and capturing more than 13,000 people. In the second battle, the record was even more terrifying. He used 900 cavalry to attack more than 10,000 Turkic cavalry in field battles, beheaded five or six thousand levels, and killed more than 30,000 Turkic troops, and failed to form a defeat.
The army is a place where strength is important, and Chen Yingcha proved his strength and courage with facts. The soldiers of the Tang army inexplicably had an idea in their minds. "Follow Chen Ying, you can win battles, and no matter how many enemies there are, it's not scary!"
The soldiers of the defenders acted as temporary commanders in accordance with Chen Ying's orders, and some of them conveyed Chen Ying's orders, and others followed Chen Ying's orders and seized the time to make incendiary bombs.
Fierce tincture oil is actually crude oil. In ancient times, Yanzhou, not far from Lingzhou, produced a lot of stone fat water, which is light crude oil. The combustion effect of this fierce tincture oil is not as good as gasoline in later generations. For example, diesel can only burn under the effect of combustion, and it will produce a large amount of thick smoke. Chen Ying put the water-filled gourd with fierce tincture oil and plugged it with fine linen cloth to make a simple fierce tincture oil inflame bomb.
Of course, the power of this turbulent oil incendiary bomb is too small, and its main purpose is not to hurt the enemy, but to act as a flare.
"Arrow ready!"
"Put the grease!"
A dozen incendiary bombs filled with harsh tinder fell on the snow and immediately turned into a large ball of fire, illuminating the ambushed enemy soldiers around them so that they had nowhere to escape.
The guards looked at the enemies crawling on the city and were overjoyed: "See, shoot!"
At this time, the enemy in the snow became a target. The archers on the city wall were condescending, shooting accurately.
The archers of the guards made a series of arrows, and the enemies under the city kept crying.
Liu Tong was wearing leather armor covered with copper and iron nails and iron-clad leather armor. His sharp eyes were staring at the Lingzhou city walls as if they were viciously in the nails. He was originally a wealthy family in Lingzhou and defected to Liang Shidu. Although he was named the Left Commander Army by Liang Shidu, the Liang people were few and weak, and Liang Shidu did not give him much rewards. Apart from his name, Liu Tong did not actually gain much.
Seeing that the Tang Dynasty sent reinforcements, Lingzhou was as safe as before. Liu Tong could not sit still. If he could not conquer Lingzhou, he could not come to Lingzhou again as a savior, then for Lingzhou, Liu Tong was a joke.
This made Liu Tong very dissatisfied, so he suggested to Liang Shidu that Lingzhou would be careless on New Year's Eve and that Lingzhou would definitely be able to break through Lingzhou City. Now the Turks were defeated in a row and had two Ye Hu broken. If Liang Shidu even broke through Lingzhou, they could also show their faces in front of Shibi Khan. So Liang Shidu agreed to Liu Tong's opinion, pieced together, and gave him two thousand "elites".
The world was dark, and Liu Tong could not see the situation in the distance. He could only know from the constant screams that were coming. The Liang army was at a disadvantage in this round.
The incendiary bomb was used as a flare by Chen Ying, and he kept cleaning up the fish that had leaked the net. At this time, Chen Ying's right finger had already bent to the fifth round, and suddenly he sent a command: "Ignite!"
This time, the fire was lit! Chen Ying put a whole bucket of hot turbulent oil on a catapult. He shot out the whole body, and more than fifty pounds of hot turbulent oil burned and flew out of the city.
With a loud "Boom!", the wooden barrel loaded with hot tinder oil flew around, forming a fire of more than ten steps in a radius. The enemy troops around hundreds of steps had nowhere to escape.
The flames illuminated the enemy troops surging under the city walls clearly. Chen Ying was surprised to find that these troops were actually carrying cloud ladders! They were pushing cloud ladders to try to climb the city.
If he hadn't been disturbed by He Yue'er, he had no intention of sleeping and came to Dongcheng with anger, he might have changed hands at this time. Or in his sleep, he had become a prisoner of the enemy.
Chen Ying thought about it at this time and felt scared. Maybe God doesn't want him to die, or maybe he shouldn't die.
If the enemy's conspiracy is really successful, the consequences will be unimaginable. Fortunately, they are doomed to fail at this time. The conspiracy is just a conspiracy, and as long as they see through it, they will not be able to do anything.
