The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 176 Advance and retreat together

The soldiers on the city wall were completely unaware.

The death row prisoner disguised as a general is still hiding behind the wall. He is very smart and knows that the danger must come from the opposite side.

There is nothing wrong with hiding behind city walls.

Huang Gou carefully looked at the soldiers on the left and right. The soldiers stood in the gap between the wall stacks with indifferent expressions, but Huang Gou could see a little nervousness in the eyes of these soldiers.

"It seems these people know how the first few people died."

Huang Gou thought to himself.

Just as he was staring at the soldier, he saw a soldier in front of him. His head exploded instantly, and warm blood splashed onto Huang Gou's face. He didn't react for a while, and his hands were blankly moving towards the warm blood on his face. Place erased.

It was already cold when he put his hand on it. With a gentle touch, Huang Gou put his hand in front of his eyes and saw that it was blood.

Looking up again, half of the soldier's head was gone, leaving only a chin hanging on his neck.

"what!"

Huang Gou looked horrified and kicked his legs back until his back was against the wall and had no way to retreat.

Right before his eyes, the soldier died, and he didn't know yet how the man died. Perhaps the prisoners on death row who climbed up the city wall in front of him died in this way.

Half of his head was gone in an instant.

This is even more terrifying than the visual impact of beheading.

The surrounding soldiers were like livestock whose nest had been blown up. They could no longer remain calm and hurriedly ran away from the dead soldier.

However, because of the supervising team, these soldiers did not dare to escape from the city wall.

They stared at the body nervously, but they knew that the danger came from outside the city wall.

Anyone exposed could die.

"What are you doing! Let me go!"

The person supervising the battle team saw this and shouted at the soldiers. The surrounding members also shook the long knives in their hands, and the shining tip of the knife exuded a chill.

Seeing this, the soldiers all shuddered. They might not die if they stayed at the top of the city, but they would definitely die if they were caught by these members of the supervising team and left their posts without permission.

They quickly returned to their respective fighting positions.

Liu Zhenhua looked away from the sniper scope. It was impossible to capture this city with just a sniper rifle.

He waved.

Immediately, Youxiang Yong drove the car to the front line.

Wang Shun and Liziba stood on both sides of the car.

What this car pulls is their lifeblood.

Looking towards the back of the team, we were about four hundred meters away from the city wall.

Two artillery pieces, surrounded by trained artillerymen.

Of course, this kind of training only allows them to learn how to simply aim, load and fire.

At this distance, it is impossible to hit one's own head with a cannonball.

Liu Zhenhua was already very satisfied if one-third of the ammunition fired by the two artillery pieces fell on the enemy and caused damage.

Soon two Maxim machine guns were set up.

Their guns were pointed at the city wall.

During World War II, American soldiers could kill one enemy every 2.5 rounds. Now, this method of shooting at the city wall is definitely not as effective as when the opponent's infantry charged intensively.

But it is enough to suppress it.

In ancient sieges, unless there was an absolute disparity in strength, it was almost impossible to attack a city head-on. Generally, the strategy was to encircle rather than attack, and to encircle a point and call for reinforcements.

The orders to attack and fire were conveyed almost at the same time, and the two artillery pieces in the rear instantly made a huge roar.

"boom."

A cannonball landed directly in the center of the city, and Huang Gou, who was hiding behind the wall stacks, was not spared.

The shells that were directly smashed down turned into pieces, and a gap was instantly blown out of the city wall.

The flying bricks and stones killed some soldiers guarding the city, while another artillery shell flew into the city and destroyed a house.

He Renlong looked at this scene with a pale face. The governor guessed wrong. The other party did not intend to rely on the magic weapon to continuously kill generals or soldiers. Instead, after killing a few people, he adopted other methods, such as now. of artillery.

And He Renlong knew where the artillery came from.

The cannons that Ganquan and the others left behind that day sounded like two shots. They were the two cannons that day, and now they fell on their heads.

Moreover, there were not just two artillery pieces dropped, but hundreds of firecrackers.

"Meet the enemy! The death row prisoners continue to advance!"

He Renlong's eyes were red. He saw the news coming from the city wall. The other party had begun a collective charge. This method of attacking the city did not take the soldiers defending the city into consideration at all.

He Renlong climbed up the city wall immediately, and five death row prisoners were pulled up at once. He Renlong's dress looked like a soldier.

The oil pan on the city wall was set alight, and He Renlong saw a gap in the city wall at a glance.

In this situation, they are not even able to go out of the city to meet the enemy and weaken the enemy's strength.

They can only passively fight back on the city wall.

While thinking, a death row prisoner's head exploded.

He Renlong's expression changed drastically. He had only heard about this kind of thing before, but now he saw it with his own eyes.

The prisoner on death row was wearing a general's uniform and had blocked the disaster for him. Otherwise, he would have been the one to die now, with his head blown apart.

"Archers prepare," He Renlong commanded. Generally, they would defend the city and shoot arrows from a distance. At close range, they would use various props. If it were another opponent, they could even go out of the city to respond to the enemy.

After all, no matter how wide the walls of a city are, it is difficult for all the soldiers to stand on the walls to defend.

However, they were facing the Kitchen King. The Kitchen King's plain warfare was countless times more powerful than attacking a city. Taking the initiative to leave the city would only result in death.

Rows of archers emerged from behind the city wall. They filled their bows with arrows. There were many archers on the city wall, and at a glance there were thousands.

Just from such a volley, dozens of people in Stove King's team would die.

In the movie, the archers shoot together, a dense rain of arrows falls, and hundreds of people die in an instant, which is somewhat exaggerated.

"Tu tu tu tu."

Just as He Renlong waited for the opponent's infantry to approach and then ordered the archers to shoot, a strange sound came from the distance.

This was a sound that He Renlong had never heard before, but after today, in He Renlong's heart, this sound was almost linked to the sound of Black and White Wuchang knocking on the door asking for his life.

A piece of debris instantly spattered on the city wall. The chests of three or two archers were blown to pieces, and some necks were torn open, with blood pouring out.

The bows and arrows in their hands shot out without knowing where they were shot. Although some people only had their faces scratched by the broken stones, when they saw the miserable situation around them, they were so frightened that they immediately dropped their bows and arrows and stroked their bodies with their hands, as if they were afraid that they were missing some parts.

He Renlong had a look of fear on his face. What was this? It didn't seem to be the Kitchen King's magic weapon. Aren't the Kitchen King's magic weapons supposed to die one by one? Why did several people die suddenly in an instant?

While thinking, several more people fell to the ground. Their bodies were still extremely miserable. Although most places were intact, the vital parts were almost completely rotten.

The city wall was stained red with blood for a while, and even though the weather was still cold, the smell of blood could not stop it from spreading rapidly.

The soldiers looked around in panic. If it weren't for the supervising team watching, there would have been chaos on the city wall.

Thoughts raced in He Renlong's mind. Although he had experience in defending a city, this was his first time facing an attack from an unknown weapon.

What the hell is that? He Renlong looked outside cautiously. Kitchen King's team rushed forward quickly. They even had ladders to attack the city, and more people were running with ladders on their shoulders.

He Renlong was shocked by how brave and unafraid each of them was. Could it be that the Kitchen King also used death row prisoners as his vanguard?

"boom!"

While he was thinking, another cannonball landed thirty steps away to the left of He Renlong. He Renlong felt a chill on his face. He reached out and touched his face, and his face was scratched by flying stones.

"fight back!"

"Fire arrows!"

He Renlong yelled, but he only dared to hide behind the city wall and shout. There were not many death row prisoners on the city wall. Who knew whether the Kitchen King would kill him as a city defender when he showed his face.

He Renlong's caution makes sense.

Liu Zhenhua had noticed something wrong on the city wall.

In his sniper scope, he saw at least four people wearing different robes from the surrounding soldiers.

At first, Liu Zhenhua thought they were guard generals with different official positions, but almost all of these guard generals were lumped together, which made Liu Zhenhua reject the idea. There were no guard generals, big or small, hiding together and shivering.

No matter how you look at it, they look like a group of fake scapegoats.

Liu Zhenhua was instantly reminded of the classic scenes in TV series.

"Don't worry about others! Go straight to Cao Cao!"

"The one in red robe is Cao Cao! Chase Cao Cao!"

"The one with the beard is Cao Cao! Chase Cao Cao!"

Right now, the man in robe is the general.

Liu Zhenhua had to believe that the other party might have found a group of unknown people to act as generals, knowing that his weapons were designed to kill generals, so that's why.

This made Liu Zhenhua smile for a while, but he couldn't laugh at them. After all, they had their own limitations. When faced with unknown things, they could only analyze some and then find ways to deal with the analyzed things.

Liu Zhenhua simply aimed his sniper scope at the opponent's soldiers.

It seemed that the guard general gave the order to release arrows, and some arrows suddenly flew out from the city wall.

However, it was obvious that the soldiers were confused. They all stood on the wall and fired arrows almost at the same time. However, the arrows they shot flew in all directions, high, low, even left and right. Cheap.

Naturally, arrows of this size could not cause much damage. Some local heroes were only injured, and only a few unlucky ones were shot in vital parts and died suddenly on the spot.

However, this could not extinguish the charging flames of the surrounding soldiers. They howled with excitement and charged forward.

They saw the behavior of the soldiers on the city wall clearly.

"Brothers, charge forward, the heavenly soldiers are waiting for us on the top of the city!"

"The other side is already in chaos! The Kitchen King is using his magic weapons to clear the way for us!"

Xiangyong and militia captains shouted.

This effect even exceeds the 'Ula' of Da Mao's charge against civil servants.

He Renlong was leaning against the city wall. Naturally, he didn't know the performance of his soldiers. After seeing the archers on the left and right releasing their bows and arrows, he issued another order.

"Fire the arrow again, and the others, prepare the fire oil and roll the wood, and prepare to respond to the enemy!"

The shouts of the Stove King's soldiers were getting closer and closer, making He Renlong extremely nervous. He could be defeated, but he couldn't fail so quickly. The opponent couldn't defend himself even with a charge, and the sun hadn't reached its highest point yet. , it’s not yet noon.

Such a quick defeat will disrupt all the governor's plans. If he misses a major event and leads to the defeat of the five-province coalition, and the emperor holds him accountable, he will definitely be the one with the greatest responsibility.

At that time, it is very likely that the nine tribes will be implicated just like the last governor of the three sides!

He Renlong's eyes were red. He stood up directly, but he did not stand up completely. The battlements were not high. If he stood up completely, his head would be exposed. He yelled at the soldiers around him, "Guard them all!" No one can leave the city until the sun goes down!"

"I will be with you! We will fight together and retreat together! We will only die!"

He Renlong was almost crazy. When he thought of Yang He's tragic situation, and when he thought that his brothers and sisters would look at him with resentful eyes, He Renlong felt that he might as well die.

The surrounding soldiers looked at their general with red eyes like a crazy gambler.

The soldiers were intimidated by He Renlong's appearance, and a general who could say the words of fighting and retreating with them was enough to motivate these soldiers.

Although at the moment, the general is huddled behind the city wall, even when he was angry just now, he did not come out from behind the wall, but who is the general? As long as the general is still on the city wall, he can be seen by them. That's enough.

The four death row prisoners who climbed onto the city wall huddled together and were spotted by the red-eyed He Renlong.

Sonorous.

He pulled out the knife from his waist and pointed at the huddled death row prisoner, "Stand up for me! Even if you are running on the city wall! Stand up!"

The soldiers around him kept dying, and He Renlong finally figured it out. The one whose head exploded instantly was the weapon Stove King used to snipe and kill the generals. The others who died, but not so tragically, were another weapon of Stove King's.

The Kitchen King couldn't find a general to kill, so he started killing the soldiers.

Then what's the use of this death row prisoner!

"Supervise the team!"

Seeing that his order was useless, He Renlong chose to let the supervising team take the field.

At least these supervising teams will not be assassinated by the Kitchen King.

Under the threat of the supervising team, these death row prisoners had no choice but to stand up.

"Don't hide! Move, start walking!"

When He Renlong saw these people still crouching behind the city wall, he suddenly became furious.

Helpless, the four death row inmates had no choice but to expose their bodies. They simply closed their eyes and waved their hands. Anyway, the four of them might not be the ones who died.

If they don't follow the instructions, the supervising team will directly chop down the four of them together. They can still distinguish clearly which one is more serious.

The four people had different expressions, but most of them were fear mixed with a bit of resignation.

As time passed by, there were even shouts of death and screams coming from under the city wall.

He Renlong looked at this scene with confusion. It had been so long. Logically speaking, there should have been death row prisoners assassinated by the Stove King. Why didn't one of them die?
