King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 81 Fighting Gongsundu (4)

"With my flesh and blood, guard Le Lang!"

"With my flesh and blood, guard Le Lang!"

"With my flesh and blood, guard Le Lang!"

Accompanied by the shouts of killing from the top of the city, Gongsun Du's army also arrived.

Li Lin raised his hand and pointed at Gongsundu's army in the distance. After the soldiers under him calmed down, he said in a sad tone, "There is no immortal in war. Maybe it's you, maybe it's him, maybe it's me..."

The faces of all the soldiers suddenly changed, and my weapon's hand trembled a little.

"But!" Li Lin raised his tone to the peak, "At this moment of crisis, our lives are exchanged for the lives of our wives, children, and children, and for the lives of tens of thousands of people in Lelang City! Soldiers! Do you think it's worth it? !"

"It's worth it! It's worth it! It's worth it!" Everyone responded in unison.

Ah Ah let out a deep breath, and shouted, "As long as the family members of the warriors who died in battle are raised by my Li family! All soldiers! Dare to fight?"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" All the soldiers shouted in unison.

Li Lin waved his hand and shouted, "In this case, all the troops are on alert, the gods are with me, the people of Lelang are with me, our wives and children are with us! I! I am with you!"

Under the city, Gongsun Du was still very strange when he saw the battle roar of the soldiers on the top of the city, but he didn't manage a lot, Gongsun Du immediately shouted, "The whole army attacks!"

Without the obstruction of antlers and trenches, Gongsun's army advanced much faster than the previous few days. When they were within the range of the archers, Li Lin yelled, "Archers, shoot from both ends! Start!" Le Lang immediately headed to the city Countless arrows flew towards Gongsun's army. Gongsun Du sent out his elite soldiers this time. Seeing the arrows flying, his face remained unchanged and he moved towards the city wall in an orderly manner.

Gongsun Dajun filled up the ditch little by little, and came over to cover the ladder behind him. Li Lin shouted, "Throw that stone at me!"

The front of the army fell into the old-fashioned hand-to-hand combat state. The ladder was put on the city wall, and the defenders flew arrows, wooden stakes, and stones. However, Gongsundu's army was large in number, and finally some enemy troops waited on the city wall.

When Li Lin saw it, he shouted anxiously, "Hurry up and drive the enemy army down from the top of the city." As long as the enemy army appeared at the head, he would immediately see countless spears coming towards him.

Li Lin pulled out his sword and went to kill the enemy rushing to the top of the city. Fang Fang was busy protecting him. Li Lin yelled and stabbed an enemy directly. Li Lin, who was dressed as a scholar, was so mighty, and shouted, "The general is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!" All the soldiers responded in unison, and the morale of Le Lang City was high.

In the Gongsundu camp, Gongsundu led a group of counselors to watch the anxious state of the front of the city. The defenders drove their soldiers off the city again and again, causing many casualties. Instead of directly attacking the city with the siege vehicles we built first, this can reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties."

Gongsun Du stroked his beard and said, "Although the siege engine is useful, if a cavalry suddenly appears in the city and burns the vehicle, wouldn't I lose the hard-working siege engine?"

The counselor said, "Then, isn't our siege vehicle made for nothing, Lord Hou? Besides, how can there be such elite cavalry in Le Lang City?"

Gongsun Du glared and said, "Hmph! Have you forgotten the lesson of the past few days? That cavalryman comes and goes like the wind, with weird weapons and excellent riding skills. I am mainly afraid of that cavalryman..."

The counselor said, "Although Hou Ye's cavalry is powerful, its number is very small, not more than a thousand. I guess this number of elite cavalry can be trained in Lelang City. It was our army who came to rob the camp a while ago." No matter what, as long as our army can prepare well and have the superiority in numbers, these cavalry will definitely come and go!"

Gongsun Du nodded and said, "Well, you are right, but I can't be too anxious to use the siege engine. I want to show the people in Le Lang that our Liaodong warriors are amazing! Also, our army's food and grass are still not enough. How long will it take for Liaodong's grain and grass to arrive?"

The counselor on the side thought about it and said, "After we transfer the food and grass from the other two sects, all the food and grass in my army can last for a few days, and the food and grass transferred from Liaodong will definitely arrive in our army!"

Gongsun Du said, "Okay! As long as the food and grass arrive, our army will attack the city with all our strength!" The army has no food and grass, and Gongsun Du's heart is at a loss.

On the top of the city, Li Lin has been fighting for a long time, but luckily he has Fang Fang by his side to protect him. In addition, Li Lin is not made of soft persimmons. Although he is not wearing armor, his fine armor is indeed excellent. It was just a pain, the clothes were torn, and nothing happened to Li Lin's body.

The two armies fought hard for an hour, and Gongsundu's army finally retreated slowly. Li Lin hurriedly sent people to treat the wounded, counted the number of casualties, and let the soldiers have a good rest.

This situation lasted for a few days, and Gongsun Du's army came to attack every day. Li Lin would sleep in the quilts sent by his wife every day at the top of the city, staying close to each other.

"Yeah...why are there so many refugees today?" Li Lin said, looking at the people at the city gate below.

Xu Liang rushed to the top of the city tower, bowed his hands to Li Lin and said, "General, a large number of refugees came today. They said that the food and grass in Gongsundu's barracks were exhausted, so they rushed to rob the people's food. Now the people can't do anything." If they survived, they were all driven here by Gongsun Du!"

Li Lin slapped the city wall and said angrily, "Gongsundu actually used such despicable means to clean up the hateful!" But the people had to save them when they got to the city. It is also normal for the enemy to light up their own food, and to come to the county to ask for help.

While Yan Ju said, "Yuan Jie, prevent the enemy's spies from among them!"

Li Lin nodded and said, "Well, I'm also worried, if Gongsun Du comes to cooperate with the inside and outside, then we will be overwhelmed!"

Then Li Lin told Xu Liang, Yan Rou, and Yan Zhi, "Follow my plan and advance the curfew time by an hour. If there are people on the street who can't give the password at night, kill them immediately!"

The three said in unison, "No!"

Yan Rou asked, "Yuan Jie, the password for tonight is..."

Li Lin smiled and said, "Heavenly King Gaidihu... The pagoda suppresses the river demon!" Li Lin put on a posture as he spoke.

Everyone around looked at Li Lin's appearance strangely, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

The three hurried down to do business, and Li Lin also had a leisurely time, observing the refugees entering the city from the city. Li Lin didn't have to worry about the resettlement of these people, because after all, there was still his uncle Bing Yuan in the city, as well as some masters. People, although they are not very good at fighting, they are definitely good at internal affairs, and my uncle is very smart. I know what shit I'm pulling when I stick my ass, so I don't do it myself, let my uncle do it It's definitely better than doing it myself.

The next day, Gongsun Du really came to attack the city again. On the top of the city, with the experience of the past few days, everyone was already ready...

Fang Fang pointed to Gongsun Du's camp in the distance and said in surprise, "My lord, look quickly, what is that?"

Li Lin took a look and wondered, "What is it? It's so dark?" Everyone was surprised when they saw it. The soldiers of Gongsundu's camp were building two tall things, which were so dark. Because the distance was not close, everyone was too Can't see clearly.

After a while, when the things were set up, Li Lin wondered, "Why is this Gongsun Du still playing with building blocks at this time?"

Yan Rou suddenly exclaimed, "No! Yuan Jie, look, it's a siege engine!" Yanyou pointed at the two dark giants in the distance with staring eyes.

Li Lin wondered, "What's so powerful about a siege engine?"

Fang Fang also exclaimed, "Sure enough, it's a siege engine! This is difficult! Young Master!" The lieutenant soldiers on the top of the city looked at the dark place and there was some commotion.

Li Lin said unhappily, "What, can you not be surprised!"

Fang Fang said, "My lord, do you still remember the well made by Han?"

Li Lin frowned, he felt a sense of danger.

Fang Fang said, "Young Master, this Jinglan is actually the prototype of a siege engine, and the two tall giants in front of you are real siege engines!"

Li Lin asked anxiously, "What are they useful for?"

Fang Fang said, "This well fence is just a tool for the soldiers to climb easily. As long as they lean against the city wall, the soldiers can follow him to the top of the city. It is very dangerous, and this siege engine not only With this function, archers can stand on top of him, because the siege vehicles are tall, so the archers can directly shoot at the archers on the top of our city, which is a great threat!"

When Li Lin heard this, his heart skipped a beat, how should he deal with such a sharp weapon...

Li Lin said, "Could it be possible to send surprise soldiers to burn this thing like last time!"

Fang Fang shook his head and said, "No, this siege engine has a complex structure and is not easy to ignite. We don't have many rare soldiers in the city, but Gongsun Du's soldiers are several times as good as ours. Gongsun Du is not Li Chengri, so he must be interested in this siege engine The combat method is very familiar, and we will definitely let us send cavalry to destroy the siege vehicles, the possibility of our success is extremely small!"

Li Lin lowered his head and assumed the state of a thinker, gritted his teeth and said, "This siege engine must be destroyed, or we will be finished!"

Before Li Lin could come up with a solution, the siege vehicle was ready and drove out of Gongsundu's camp, pushed by a group of soldiers behind and guarded by many soldiers, Gongsundu's army followed the attack slowly. The city car, it seems, depends on him, there is no one to charge first.

Behind the siege engine was a large number of siege troops. Gongsun Du looked at his masterpiece in the camp, smiled and nodded, full of confidence in this siege.

Many soldiers at the head of Lelang city screamed out, Yan Rou and Yan Zhi immediately comforted them to prevent the army's morale from being shaken.
