The Crown Prince I’m Raising Has Turned Evil

Chapter 86: Each shows his genius

Views:

In fact, at the beginning, Xie Linlang had guessed that there was a trebuchet on the boat of the water bandits.

Because their boats can't enter the shallows, it means that they have heavy objects on board, and there are only so many weapons that can attack at a long distance in this era. If it is bows and arrows, how many bows and arrows are needed to suppress so many large ships? So it's just stones and trebuchets.

It's just that she originally thought that these people were planning to use catapults to attack the city to kill people, but she did not expect that their purpose was to destroy the city wall.

It seems that they want to exchange the smallest loss for the largest benefit. Is it really good to be so greedy

Once the attack on the river surface was launched, it did not stop. The wall was smashed by boulders, and the gravel and ashes kept shaking off, giving people a feeling of being crumbling.

The water bandits planned very well. They planned to destroy the city wall on the first day of the war, and then directly enter the city from the broken hole, killing the most people with the least sacrifice!

But Xie Linlang's preparations these days are not in vain. She has sent people to reinforce the weak places in the city wall. Although it is still very fragile, it is impossible for them to destroy it in one round.

Sure enough, in the rain of stones, the wall that looked very weak was smashed with many cracks, but it still stood tenaciously, which surprised Lian Ke.

On the other hand, Dong Jie sent people to attack the city, but he was also guarded by Mr. Liu!

This surprised him a bit. He originally thought that such a small city should be able to enter in one round of offensive. Who knows that this north gate is not only strong and heavy, but the defenders are not ordinary people.

But it doesn't matter. If you can't get in in one round, you will have two rounds. Anyway, there are many of them, and they will attack repeatedly to see how long the opponent can defend!

The screams of killing were loud, and Mr. Liu, who was commanding the defense of the city, felt a little tired under the successive attacks of the opponent.

Originally, these people were a rabble, and even if there were a large number of them, they could still hold on to it.

The bad thing is that the rebels are all the way south, and there is not much food and grass left. This siege is equivalent to a last-ditch battle for the rebels!

Coupled with their large number of people, they have the determination to win, and the multiplication of two is simply unstoppable!

And they lacked people and weapons on their side, and when the opponent's momentum was crushed by the number of people, how would they fight this battle

Fortunately, Mr. Liu is also a person who is familiar with the art of war. Since there are few people, he uses the rotation method to defend the city, and uses the trebuchet to throw broken stones against the opponent's arrows, and there are glass slag he prepared in advance. Whether those rebels were scratched by the glass or stepped on the glass slag, they can cause them a lot of trouble!

In this way, an offensive and defensive battle was consumed from day to night, and finally stopped.

But everyone knows that this is just the beginning. There is no way to solve the food crisis on the rebel side. Once people are cornered, they can do anything!

No matter how strong their door is, it can't stand their successive storms.

At the same time, the situation on the southern wall was also very tense.

For a whole day, Xie Linlang did not bring anyone out, because as soon as they appeared on the city wall, the other party would attack with boulders. Instead of adding unnecessary casualties, it was better to let them smash.

Fortunately, the fortified city wall really survived the storm on the first day of the water bandits.

Those water bandits had no choice but to send some boats to fetch the stones. This back-and-forth period bought time for everyone in the city.

As soon as they stopped, Xie Linlang asked everyone to repair the city wall. Although it was impossible to repair it completely, it was better than nothing.

Some people don't understand, what's the point of repairing the wall all the time? Did they make up for it, did the other party hit it faster

But at this time, no one would question Xie Linlang's decision.

In this way, two days have passed. These two days, the three parties are deadlocked, and there are not too many casualties, but Xie Linlang and the water bandits have to wait, but the rebel leader Dong Ge can't wait any longer!

The people under his command all have to eat, but he promised them that Xiangcheng has gold and silver mountains, and they came after them. At the moment, they have not seen the gold and silver mountains, but their food is almost gone. If it goes on like this, his Do advantages become disadvantages

As a result, Dong Xie decisively ordered a truce, ending the endless siege of the city for the past few days.

He lined everyone up, and then put all the food in the pot, so that they could open up and eat a full meal!

At the same time, all the wounded were withdrawn, and all the damaged weapons were replaced with new ones. Judging from this posture, he was planning to prepare for a general attack!

At this time, there have been many cracks and defects in the city wall of the North Gate, and there are not a few injured people. Although they have been prepared for a long time, under the uninterrupted attack of the rebels, the boulders they have prepared are almost consumed. , if the rebels attack again at this time, their chances of defending are very slim...

Seeing that the rebels outside the city were directly making a fire in the open air, Bai Heng, the elite soldier who was slightly injured, proposed to Mr. Liu.

"Sir! Instead of waiting for them to rest and then attack again, why don't we make a sneak attack now? The city gate can't stand their attack again, we take the initiative to attack, maybe there is still a chance!"

But Mr. Liu knew that this would not work. That Dong Jie was a deep-hearted person, as can be seen from the way he attacked the city in the past few days. How could such a person leave an obvious flaw

I'm afraid he is waiting for him to open the city gate now, so that they can take advantage of it.

Instead of going out to die, it is better to stick to the last moment.

So he shook his head, "It's not yet the time to raid."

"When is that? Are we going to die in the city?!"

Mr. Liu's expression was slightly moved, but he still shook his head as he looked towards the horizon.

"Now, not yet..."

On the other side, the south wall was also smashed with potholes.

In the continuous onslaught, the wall near the observation deck obviously couldn't last long.

Once the wall collapses, all the water bandits on the boat will swim over and fight with all their strength. How can these unarmed people in their city be opponents

But Xie Linlang didn't seem to know the consequences of the collapse of the wall. In the past two days, he did nothing but repair the wall.

Finally, the movement of the other party hitting the wall was much smaller, not because there were no more stones, but because the trebuchets were almost broken.

Seeing that the trebuchets were thrown with all their strength, and the stones could not reach the city wall, the water bandits gradually stopped this behavior, and the river surface finally quieted down.

Seeing this, Xie Linlang climbed the city wall alone, looking at the pitted walls and the mess on the ground, she smiled and asked sarcastically.

"So you came all the way here, testing the distance secretly, and carrying stones back and forth, but in the end you can only do this? Even I can't smash a wall?"

Seeing that she still did not shed tears without seeing the coffin, Lian Ke smiled gloomily.

"If that's the case, how can I dare to come?"
