Chapter 83 The siege was frustrated

The Shi family slave rode on the horse, staring at Tang Long Town in front of him like a wolf, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat.

After crossing the Yellow River, it took eight days to arrive here. The Shi family slaves were already a little impatient. What made the Shi family slaves angry the most was that the foreign tribes ran too fast along the way and did not grab much, especially the most important food. In this season, it is useless to steal cattle and sheep. Without water and grass, you can't get back, so you can only kill and eat meat. If you can't capture Tanglong Town, even the food and grass will be a problem.

The personal soldiers beside him whispered: "Mr. Langjun, this Nansan Jun has repaired a lot, and it seems a bit difficult to fight."

The Shi familynu said viciously: "What are you afraid of? Can a small city stop us? Send three hundred border soldiers first and give it a try."

The border soldiers are the most miserable. In the eyes of the Khitans, serving the border guards is like the frontier in the Song Dynasty. It is a battle to destroy the family. Even when they go to the front line to fight for life and death, they will go up to be cannon fodder first.

Looking at the three hundred people gathered in a formation, Shi Family Nu whispered: "There is Tanglong Town ahead. Not only are there food and grass stored by the southerners, but there are also countless foreign households hiding in it. If you want food, money and people, it only depends on whether you can capture it!"

The bandits of the border soldiers looked idly, and they did not have the expression they had ever wanted to try as Shi's slave had imagined.

Zhang Ke stood at the top of the city, looked at the slowly approaching Khitan soldiers, and said to the deputy general Li Hao: "This is not a Khitan army! Instruct the soldiers to prepare to roll wood and stones, and have strong crossbows and hard bows. When they approach the city wall, they will listen to the military orders together!"

Li Hao crossed his hands and said his promise, and ordered his personal soldiers to go and pass the military order.

Tanglong Town is located on the high platform, with a city built on it, and there are only a dozen steps below the city wall. Three hundred soldiers on the side climbed up the earth platform, looked at the city wall in front, and then looked at the cliff behind him, and felt a lot of pain. This kind of terrain cannot attack the city, and the hope of going back is also slim.

Seeing the enemy under the enemy's city, a drum sounded and the wooden rocks fell down. Three hundred border soldiers tried to attack several times, and left dozens of corpses, and then they scattered. Fortunately, the earth platform was not high, and many people fell down, and no matter whether they were injured or not, they lay on the ground and hummed.

The personal soldier was shocked when he saw it: "Langjun, you are prepared in the city, what should I do?"

The Shi family slave was overjoyed: "It's just some rolling wood and stones, why are you afraid of people? Instruct the army to line up and attack the city together! Before dark, be sure to attack the city! This winter, we rely on the food in the city!"

Zhang Ke stood at the top of the city, watching the Khitan soldiers and horses slowly lined up under the city, rushed forward, and narrowed his eyes. After a while, he said to Li Hao beside him: "We have twenty cannons on the top of the city, let them aim, and fire fire at the Khitan leader under the city together!"

Li Haoyingnuo suddenly became excited. He was just now wondering why Zhang Ji didn't use it, but he didn't know that it was prepared for the generals outside the city. The Khitans came not to attack the city, but just to rob, and did not carry siege equipment. The cannons were of no use. It would be better to gather together and bombard the enemy chiefs. After a round of attacks, the Khitan general was injured even if he was not killed.

Zhang Ji ordered another order to let the 100 musketeers supported by Du Zhongxiao stand on the city wall. When the enemy came, they took the first shot and the crossbowman attacked the next shot.

With muskets and cannons, everyone has no experience in how to use them. Zhang Ji’s current usage is actually to treat cannons as bed crossbows and muskets as more powerful crossbows. Compared with the past, the combat format has not changed fundamentally.

The Shi family slave shouted loudly behind the formation and commanded the army to advance. He climbed up step by step from the bottom. His life was more important than anything else. He would never rush forward like some generals for military merit.

The Khitan soldiers set up a ladder under the high platform and slowly grabbed it under the city wall. Seeing that the Song army had not been moving, they gradually became bolder.

Seeing that the time had come, Zhang Ke shouted loudly: "All the generals obey orders and kill the enemy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the personal soldiers beating the drums violently, and the sound shook the world. With the sound of the drums, twenty cannons on the top of the city aimed at Shijianu and fired cannons together.

The Shi family slave riding on the horse heard a piece of black smoke on the top of the city, and a continuous muffled sound. Then he saw a large black dots falling on his head. Before he could react, he heard a scream beside him.

An iron bullet was hitting the Shi Family's slave's horse. The horse burst into tears and struggled violently, and fell to the ground. The Shi Family's slave could not hide and was thrown to the ground by the horse. By chance, the iron bullet that knocked down the horse bounced on the ground and hit the Shi Family's slave's legs. I felt a heart-wrenching pain, and the Shi Family's slave's eyes turned black and fainted.

Seeing the Khitan generals outside the city fall to the ground, the Song army on the city cheered together, and then the musketeers set off a row of guns at the Khitan soldiers under the city. As the gunshots rang out, the soldiers guarding the city fired their bows and crossbows, and the arrows fell like locusts.

I saw a fire on the head of the city covered with black smoke. A row of soldiers fell down at the front, and the Khitans were shocked. I don’t know which one shouted: “No, you can do evil magic in the city! Go escape!”

Before he finished speaking, arrows like rain fell down. I don’t know how many people fell to the ground, and the Khitan soldiers scattered.

Several personal soldiers supported the unconscious Shi family slaves and saw the soldiers who fled everywhere, and suddenly felt helpless. The main general of the party was seriously injured just now. How could this battle continue? The battle in Chanzhou was also because the Khitan general was severely injured by Song's crossbow and had to retreat. Finally, they negotiated peace. Unexpectedly, they encountered this dilemma again in Tanglong Town.

On the city wall, Li Hao looked at the chaos of Khitan troops and said to Zhang Ji: "Master, take advantage of the opportunity of the enemy outside the city to panic, can you go out of the city to chase after it? They don't have many soldiers, and they can't set up their formation now and have no power to fight back!"

Zhang Ji shook his head: "Forget it, the Khitans outside the city are already grasshoppers after autumn, why should we put more effort into it? In this weather, they can't grab food and grass, and it's hard to cross the river and go back. There are some looting on the way, and the foreign tribes fled. There is a dead land, and they have already guarded it."

After saying that, he ordered the personal soldiers around him to reload the gunners at the top of the city, and to see where the Khitan generals were located, and just use gunfire. The Khitan command system was single, and once the main general died, the rest would be a piece of loose sand.

After a few personal soldiers struggled for a long time, the Shi family servant let out a breath and woke up. He looked around blankly and said, "What monster is the Song army in the city using? They spit out fire and smoke, and they beat my horse to death in an instant. - Oh, hurry up and gather all the troops!"

Seeing that the Shi family slave woke up, the personal soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and went to find the leaders of each tribe to gather the tribes.

At this moment, a fire suddenly appeared on the top of the city wall, and a muffled sound came, and the iron bullet hit the Shi family slave again.

The artillery was really not accurate at this time, and the artillery officers and soldiers had no experience. They aimed at the Shi Family Slave to attack, but they couldn't hit him. However, the Khitans near the Shi Family Slave fell down. The Khitans, who were already in chaos, ran around like headless flies.
