Chapter 280: True Purpose

Gaoyang's five hundred garrison has always been under the nose of Jian Zhi. Although its combat effectiveness is more than one level worse than that of the town soldiers, and more of them are eliminated from the town army, after all, they are in a

In the briefly described base camp, compared with the garrison and equipment of several other counties, the silver

As well as their combat effectiveness and spirit have increased several levels. If they were facing a well-trained army, they would indeed be vulnerable. But fortunately, the Gaoshan tribesmen who are attacking Gaoyang now, although they are brave personally, are not capable of taking a single blow.

Their organizational capabilities and military qualities are inferior to those of these garrison troops.

Meng Fei gave an order, and the thousands of soldiers who were in the vanguard shouted, and rushed forward with no trace of the attack rounds and sequences. Being brave means being brave, but when facing the city wall, it is also true that

Some excellent targets.

Seeing this scene, the man behind Meng Fei who had been following him closely in Dai Viet attire could not help but frown.

"Let go!" Wei Dongsheng's hand holding the sword in the air fell heavily. The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air was heard from the city wall, and hundreds of feather arrows shot out of the air.

Dozens of Gaoshan tribe soldiers fell down wailing. "What a pity!" Wei Dongsheng shook his head secretly. If the town army was defending the city now, this round of arrows could knock down hundreds of people. The local garrison troops in hand

The quality of individual soldiers is still too poor. There are only a few hundred people who can draw a bow and shoot an arrow.

The huge roar of the crossbow echoed across the entire battlefield. The crossbow arrows, which were as thick as a child's arm, shot down and knocked over several soldiers who were running wildly carrying the ladder. The ladder, which was more than ten meters long, fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

Although the effect of long-range attacks is obvious, compared with the swarming enemy troops, these attacks are just drizzle, like some small water droplets in the rough waves, and can even be ignored. The Gaoshan soldiers quickly

Then he rushed to the city. Yun

The ladders were erected, and the high platforms were quickly erected one by one. The howling soldier ants climbed up and climbed towards the city. In their eyes, the current obstacle was the city wall, which was more than ten meters high.

Once on the city, the battle is over.

The soldiers on the city rushed forward, picked up stones and hammers, and threw them at the bottom of the city. More people rushed forward, including soldiers. There were young men, women, and children. They were carrying a bucket.

The bucket of hot grease and dung rushed to the edge of the city wall and poured down. In an instant,

Suddenly, screams that were not human-like could be heard from below. Grease was poured on the bodies of the Gaoshan soldiers, and bursts of meaty aroma hit their nostrils. Among the aroma, the stench of feces was so pungent.

If you pour the added oil on your body, it will not be a simple burn, it will be difficult to heal.

There are indeed only 500 soldiers in the city, plus some government officials who can be regarded as reserves. There can be up to 600 or 700 people. These people are the backbone of this defensive battle, but at this time, there are many people fighting in the city.

There are nearly three thousand people, and below the city, there are endless streams of people transporting stones and rolling logs to the city. Many people have demolished the stone thresholds of their homes and lifted the walls of their homes, just to get some.

Stone to kill the enemy.

As soon as the war started, at Wei Dongsheng's signal, Zhao Xu was carried by two soldiers and retreated into the city tower. At this time, Zhao Xu, who was standing on the city tower, had a blushing face. Although he jumped anxiously, the two soldiers

The soldiers looked at him eagerly, and if he wanted to rush out, they would drag him back without any courtesy.

"Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!" The helpless Zhao Xu could only roar at the top of his lungs through the gate tower.

Li Fugui threw aside the iron chains and iron rulers on his body, holding a large sword about the length of his face. The pockmarks on his face were bright, and the nearly one meter long blade was dripping with blood, and the sword's light flashed.

The head of a Gaoshan soldier who had just climbed up the city flew into the air, and he kicked off the ladder. The ladder swayed away from the city wall and fell in the opposite direction. The soldiers clinging to it naturally

It also fell down.

Li Fugui was extremely excited. He was the chief catcher of Gaoyang County. He was probably also on Meng Fei's list of people who must be killed. Over the years, he had captured and killed countless Gaoshan tribesmen, forming a strong connection with the Gaoshan tribe.

Compared to Wei Dongsheng and Zhao Xu, there are more enemies and more specific enemies. If the city is breached, I am afraid that I will die miserably, and the wives and children in the city will not escape a miserable end.

Meng Fei never expected that Gao Yang's resistance would be so strong and his counterattack so sharp. The first wave of attacks was quickly repelled. Amidst the endless screams that filled the battlefield, the Gaoshan soldiers retreated like a tide.

When I came back, I found only corpses lying on the ground under the city wall.

"Here, is there really only 500 garrison troops in the city? How is this possible?" Meng Fei's face turned red and white.

"There must be only 500 local garrison troops in the city!" The man following him said unhurriedly: "Our intelligence is very accurate."

"Then look, how many people are there on top of the city now?" Meng Fei said angrily.

The man laughed and said, "King Meng, at first I advised you not to erect this kind of heads to demonstrate, but you insist on saying that you want to frighten the enemy's courage, make the enemy tremble, and collapse without a fight. Now you see, right?

Your attempt to establish authority is counterproductive. He took a closer look and saw that there were only uniformed soldiers in the city.

, as well as the people in the city, and even the old and weak women, since they are all going to die, the enemy will of course rise up to fight and resist desperately. In siege operations, there are always three and one missing, in order to break the enemy's courage to resist desperately.

You know, I'm afraid that the enemy's will to resist will become stronger and he will do this again."

Meng Fei said angrily: "What's the use of talking about this now? What should we do now? Are we still going to fight like this? Then our losses will be even greater."

The man smiled and said: "King Meng, it is easy to say that the weapons on the city to prevent climbing on the wall seem to be very sufficient and well prepared. With this city wall, even a weak boy can easily

It takes the life of one of your brave soldiers, but as long as your soldiers scale the city wall in large numbers, their resistance will naturally be insignificant."

"The question is how to get up there?"

"The opponent's long-range attack weapons are not strong. King Meng might as well take advantage of this to strengthen the containment of the city."

Meng Fei smiled bitterly: "Do my soldiers have enough bows and arrows?"

"Why use bows and arrows? The arm strength of the Gaoshan soldiers is amazing. King Meng can have his men cut wood into spears without attaching spearheads. The soldiers can throw such wooden or bamboo spears into the city while running.

Then you can destroy the city wall on a large scale

"Defenders." The man said lightly, pointing to the city wall in the distance. Since the Gaoshan tribe lacked enough bows and arrows, the defenders on the city unscrupulously stretched out half of their bodies and poked with the spears in their hands.

Enemy troops on the ladder.

Upon hearing this, Meng Fei couldn't help but turn from anger to joy. While ordering his men to prepare quickly, he said: "Since you have a good idea, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The corners of the man's mouth raised slightly, thinking that I had said so much before, and you had listened to a few more. If I didn't let you suffer a little, how could you learn from it and accept my suggestion?

This person came from the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties. He was a member of the Mongolian Yuan intelligence organization. He was personally trained by Moller and had been lurking in the Yue Dynasty for a long time. From his appearance, conversation, and habits, he was already the same as the Yue people. This time he was sent to

Under the orders of Princess Yaerdan of Anguo, the intelligence leader of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, he sneaked into the western part of Yizhou and provoked a war between the Gaoshan people and the Yue people, creating favorable conditions for the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty to capture Yizhou.

The agreement reached between the Meng Yuan and Wang Haogu was for both parties to jointly attack Yizhou. Once Yizhou was captured, Wang Haogu would become the King of Yizhou under the rule of the Mongolian Yuan court and enjoy the same rights as other Mongolian and Yuan princes.

The Yuan court would not send officials into Yizhou to recognize Wang Haogu's right to rule Yizhou.

Meng Yuan's move was to quickly end the war in Yizhou, thereby turning the gun and turning the main force to the direction of Taizhou. After defeating the main force of Dai Viet, led by the fourth prince Li Xiao and General Feng Congyi of Dai Viet Yunhui, it swept through the sixteen northern states.

, thus forming a true north-south rivalry with Dai Viet, and only in this way can we form a confrontation with Dai Viet in this potentially protracted war to conquer the Central Plains without having a big strain on resources and other aspects.

Of course, the agreement on paper was like this. In private, the Mongolian and Yuan court was naturally not willing to see a new Pan Haoran appear in Yizhou. So, when the Mongolian Yuan army was conquering the north, a corrupted Yizhou and a war

The restless Yizhou is more in line with their expectations, making Wang Haogu fall into

Endless counterinsurgency and suppression made him unable to integrate Yizhou. Under this situation, Wang Haogu would have to rely more on the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, so that the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties could take the initiative and slowly move forward.

Effectively embezzling and cannibalizing Wang Haogu's influence, until finally Yizhou was included in the bag.

It was against this background that Alesu entered western Yizhou with an important mission. After briefly describing the departure of the army, he quickly persuaded Meng Fei, gathered the strength of the entire Gaoshan tribe, and began to attack Gaoyang Chenghua and other five places.

Alsu is not optimistic about the prospects of Mengfei. This tribe lacks a well-trained army and a clear political goal. Their purpose of fighting is limited to burning, killing, looting, and retaliating against the Yue people. Such a group

The mob, whether it's Wang Haogu, Jian Shu, or Pan Haoran who is currently struggling, can easily defeat him by sending out an army as long as they have a little leisure.

But what does this have to do with him? What he wants is for the civil strife in Yizhou to continue. All he has to do is to extend the existence of Meng Fei's troops as long as possible, and to extend the civil strife in Yizhou as long as possible. As for Meng Fei's future,

What will happen to Fei is not up to him

Within the scope of consideration, after achieving the goal, he walked away simply and neatly, leaving Wang Haogu or others to worry about it. His existence must not be known to Wang Haogu, otherwise it would have an adverse impact on the court.
