Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 80
Li Tong laughed out loud when he heard the words, and shouted at Yang Ding: "Just relying on your bandit-like army, it seems to force us to surrender without fighting? You are dreaming! Let me tell you, don't say it's you, even if it's Li Tong." The four thieves Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji have arrived together, and I, Li Tong, will still not surrender, so you should give up on it!"

"Okay! If that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude. Pass on my military order, and the army will attack the city with all its strength. When the city is broken, all soldiers are allowed to slaughter the city for three days. The old, young, women and children in the city can be disposed of as you like! Li Tong, a traitor , you have to remember that all the disasters that the people in the city have suffered are all caused by your refusal to surrender."

Yang Ding pointed at the top of the city with a whip, his eyes were stern, and he gave the order to siege the city with a cold face, and he also put all the blame on Li Tong's head.

However, Li Tong was unmoved, and said coldly: "I want to see how you break through my city?"

Immediately ordered, the army went all out to defend the four gates.

After that, the Xiliang army began to roar loudly and launched an attack on the four city gates.

However, due to the haste of the Xiliang army, they didn't bring much siege equipment at all. They just relied on the soldiers to fill the river with soil, and then climbed the simplest wooden ladder, and launched an attack like this. The result can be imagined. The attack did not achieve much obvious effect. Two hours later, Yang Ding left hundreds of corpses of the Xiliang army, and then led the army to leave in a huff.

In the next few days, there was no movement from the Xiliang army, but this made Li Tong more cautious, because he believed that the other party would not let it go. If the other party did not move, it would mean that they would be in trouble in the next few days. There is a big move, ready for a new round of offensive.

Therefore, in the past few days, Li Tong did not dare to underestimate it at all, and ordered the entire city's soldiers and civilians to take action, build defensive equipment, and must resist the opponent's next offensive.

In the early morning of a certain day a few days later, the brief peace of the past few days was finally broken. With the sound of a shrill horn, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army got off their horses, and together with thousands of soldiers of the Baibo Army, they launched a massacre in Shang County. Violent attack.

This time they prepared a large number of siege equipment, including battering rams used to install the city gates, wells that were hundreds of feet high and used to shoot down the defenders in the city, watchtowers, nest cars used to observe the enemy's situation, and The ballista that came to attack the city and so on.

In just a few days, the enemy army mobilized so many siege equipment, which shows how firm the determination of the Xiliang army to attack the city is!
However, Li Tong did not waver in the slightest, and ordered the army to fight back resolutely.

Although the soldiers were no longer receiving Li Tong's skill bonus at this time, they all had the determination and courage to fight the enemy to the death. Facing the attack of the superior force, they launched a frantic block.

After the archers on the top of the city have finished shooting their bows and arrows, they throw down the stones around them. In order to cause terrible damage, they often lift two to three hundred catties of boulders together by several soldiers, Throwing it down, such a huge boulder fell from the tower, and it succeeded in smashing the battering ram, and killed more than ten enemy soldiers who could not dodge on the spot.

As for the Liangzhou army who climbed up from the ladder, they also tried every means to kill them. At first, they used conventional defensive equipment such as rolling logs and rocks. When they got close, they used spears and spears to stab them. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army climbed to the top of the city, so the defenders brandished their swords and fought with them. However, those soldiers who were seriously injured and lost their combat ability were not idle either. They often hugged the soldiers who had just climbed up. The enemy soldiers at the top of the city fell down from the top of the city with them...

"Kill!" Seeing the soldiers holding on to the top of the city with such fearless courage, even Li Tong's eyes turned red, brandishing his long spears, he started a frenzied killing at the charging enemy soldiers.

At this moment, a feathered arrow flew over from nowhere and shot directly at Li Tong's shoulder. However, Li Tong didn't stop at all. With a faint snort, he pulled out the feathered arrow with his hand and continued to kill the enemy with his gun.

What's more dangerous is that some Liangzhou soldiers who announced their surrender before are also a little ready to move at this time, and some even consider cooperating with the Liangzhou army outside, and come together from inside and outside to seize Shang County.

Of course, the defenders of the city were not unprepared. When these surrendered soldiers began to link up with each other in the army, Cui Jun discovered this and decisively sent someone to kill those leaders quickly. , the rioting situation was easily quelled.

Of course, after this, Cui Jun naturally had to do some consolation work. He summoned the surrendered troops and said loudly: "Soldiers, don't think that we have lost this battle. The reinforcements will arrive within a few days. After the reinforcements arrive, the thieves will have no chance at all. In addition, you should also know how cruel Li Jue, Guo Si and others are in running the army. Even if you can help this time They won the city of Shang County, and they will definitely be punished for the crime of defection in the future, because Yang Ding, the general of the enemy army, will definitely not share this credit with you. But our army is different. My lord is the current Taiwei, You After Zhou Mu, as a clan member of the Han family and a rebellious general appointed by the emperor, he is a benevolent lord. As long as you are willing to surrender sincerely, your benefits will definitely be indispensable. You have been in our army these few days , You should know how the sergeants of our army are treated, as long as you sincerely submit to our army, you will definitely receive the same treatment as them."

Cui Jun's words immediately caused an uproar, because these Xiliang soldiers had also inquired that all soldiers under Liu He's command and their family members farming land were exempted from taxation. As a small official in the rear, in addition to working leisurely, there is also a salary to get. If you are seriously injured or die on the battlefield, you will also have a very generous pension, and their family members' land still enjoys the right to be exempted from taxation.

"Is Liu Shijun really, really willing to treat us as his own?" A captain of the Xiliang Army couldn't help but ask.

"It's natural. My lord is the lord of benevolence and righteousness. You can go to Yingchuan and Nanyang to inquire. If Cui's words are not true, I hope ten thousand arrows will pierce your body and you will not die!"

The most taboo thing for anyone who fights is death. Now Cui Jun swore to pierce his body with thousands of arrows, showing his endless sincerity, and immediately won the trust of those soldiers who surrendered. Those soldiers all clenched their fists and solemnly expressed With his own determination, one of the military marquises stepped forward and said loudly: "Military commander, please rest assured that as long as Liu Shijun can treat each other with sincerity, we will never have any betrayal in this life. In order to show sincerity, Let's go to the top of the city and help Liu Shijun defend Shang County, brothers, let's also let the brothers of the Nanyang Army take a look, although we are surrendering troops, we are not just for nothing!"

After finishing speaking, the military marquis turned around first, and walked towards the head of the city with his head held high.

The other Liangzhou soldiers also looked determined when they saw this, and followed the military marquis to head to the city to defend against the enemy.

At this time, Cui Jun's captain Cui Zheng looked worried and said to Cui Jun: "Military advisor, they just went to the city like this? If there is another rebellion, wouldn't we really be doomed?" ?”

I saw Cui Jun saying seriously: "Don't worry, I think they will definitely not defect. Haha, at a critical moment, with such a new force joining us, we can easily survive this crisis. I believe that the lord's army can also The moment of our victory is not far away."
