Chapter 287: The perfunctory night attack (Part 1)

At this time, there were less than 500 people left in Yao Yuanfu's army. In the eyes of Murong Yanchao on the city, Yao Yuanfu was already in a desperate situation! If such a veteran general with outstanding meritoriousness was to greatly boost the morale of the Yanzhou defenders! So Murong Yanchao raised his hand to signal the archers to stop shooting, stood behind the battlements and shouted loudly: "General Yao Lao, as long as you order surrender, you can save your life! Gold, silver and treasures are available for you! Glory and wealth, you can raise your hand!"

Yao Yuanfu laughed: "I am nearly 60 years old, how could I give up the word "loyalty and righteousness for my life?! In the past, Dong Zunhui once said, "Since ancient times, no one will die, let me keep my loyalty shine in history." This sentence makes sense. Today, even if I die in the city of Yanzhou, I will definitely have a good reputation in the future!"

Murong Yanchao was anxious and roared angrily: "Kill me, kill, kill!"

Hearing his order, more than a thousand bandits in the city agreed and rushed forward. However, Yao Yuanfu was not panicked. The catapult that threatened the most to the soldiers under the city had been destroyed by Xiang Xun's troops. What's the point of fear for Yao Yuanfu?! Yao Yuanfu looked at the bandits rushing up with contempt and shouted loudly: "Let the array to meet the enemy!"

To be honest, if the soldiers of the two armies fight one-on-one, the bandits will have a high chance of success, at least they still have the ability to insert their eyes and twitch their vaginas; but if they fight on the battlefield, they are not in a formation at all, and they are not opponents of the regular army at all.

He saw a year-old thief rushing in front of him, a bandit called "Zhushan Leopard". He shouted loudly, waving the broken sword in his hand, but the soldiers on the opposite side were not as scared as the villagers, and just clenched the weapons in his hand in silence.

The mountain leopard was a little hesitant. Although my body continued to rush forward, my heart was constantly pounding, and the more I ran forward, the more I became scared. However, if I stopped moving forward, I would definitely be laughed at by my brothers. The mountain leopard might be called a mountain worm by them! Moreover, it was not easy for me, the mountain leopard, from a thief to a font size in the green forest, so how could I destroy my signature?

Thinking of this, the mountain leopard quickly rushed to Yao Yuanfu's team. He raised the knife viciously, but before he could cut it down, he heard a full voice from the opposite army: "Thorn!"

Before the Zhuanshan Leopard could react, several spears suddenly pierced out in the slit of the shield opposite, piercing between the chest and abdomen of the Zhuanshan Leopard. The poor Zhuanshan Leopard died unjustly under the spear without even cutting out a single knife!

There are many people as frustrated as the Chuanshan Leopard. It is difficult for the bandits in the Central Plains to survive. If the scale is small, they cannot open the rich man's house. If the scale is large, they are easily eliminated by the local garrison. Even if the cause of robbing families is achieved to the extreme, at most it is only a scale of more than 100 people. If everyone only has the experience of fighting in groups, how can they suddenly adapt to the fight of regular troops?!

The bandits roared, howled, and even roared, and were then killed by the soldiers in rows, and blood flowed all over the ground! The soldiers twitched their spears mechanically, and kept attacking under the cover of the shield soldiers. The long tassels that were covered with people were wet on the head of the spear, making every soldier feel slippery and extremely uncomfortable!

Murong Yanchao asked angrily: "Why did the catapult stop attacking? Hurry up, hurry up, the righteous thieves are going to die!"

The commander of the catapult army quickly covered his head and trotted over, and hurriedly saluted Murong Yanchao: "Sir, three catapults were destroyed by the enemy just now, and two other catapults burst due to the number of shootings exceeding the limit, causing the piscorer to burst. They are now under emergency repair."

Murong Yanchao looked at the bloody commander, unable to say anything reproached, so he could only sigh and whisper: "Hurry up!"

At this time, taking advantage of the excellent opportunity when the catapult carts in the city stopped attacking, all the remaining trenches in the Zhou army camp were dispatched and a retreat passage was built on the moat. Yao Yuanfu hurriedly turned around and saw that the camp was indeed erecting the banner of withdrawal, so he commanded the troops to retreat calmly. Under the continuous shooting of the Taining Army archers, less than 300 Zhou troops were able to retreat successfully, and even Yao Yuanfu was shot in his arm!

Guo Wei was very depressed. He originally wanted to take advantage of the time when he came here and his morale was greatly boosted to capture Yanzhou City, but he did not expect that he was almost shot and killed by archers on the city, and then more than a thousand people were bleeding from the city, leaving no bones left!

No one dared to speak. Dong Zunhui, who was all deployed, had to stand up and whisper to Guo Wei: "Your Majesty, why not attack Yanzhou at night?"

"Night attack?" Guo Wei repeated subconsciously, then came to his senses, "Are you talking about those flying claw soldiers?"

Dong Zunhui nodded repeatedly: "They have been trained for many days and are familiar with the key points of using flying claws. They are loyal to Your Majesty. They will fight to the death. If Your Majesty agrees, they will be willing to lead this team to capture the gate of Yanzhou for Your Majesty!"

Guo Wei was a little moved, then shook his head and said, "Forget it today, Murong Yanchao will definitely be prepared. The possibility of a successful sneak attack is not high. Wait until tomorrow night, let these flying claw soldiers be dispatched. By the way, Daoan, tonight, you will command the troops to harass the city and consume their energy!"

Dong Zunhui quickly took the order and immediately stepped down to prepare.

Soon, night fell and the city was pitch black. Murong Yanchao, who had hurriedly spent dinner, stood in the city tower and asked Murong Jixun who was guarding here: "My son, what are the abnormal movements of Guo Wei's troops?"

Murong Jixun shook his head repeatedly, "Father, the enemy is very quiet and there is no abnormal movement!"

Murong Yanchao smiled and said, "Guo Wei must be studying the night attack. Tonight we must cheer up and prevent the enemy's raids! I passed my order and divided the soldiers guarding the city into two groups, one group stayed at the top of the city to stop the night attack, and the other group went down to sleep to prepare to defend the city tomorrow!"

The generals around immediately took the order and quickly launched an action. At this time, someone secretly walked to Murong Jixun and reported to him quietly. When the generals dispersed, Murong Jixun asked in a low voice: "Father, the Green Forest hero Zhang Dascai is willing to lead his subordinates out of the city, lie in ambush among the dead bodies, and warn the army!"

"Okay, okay!" Murong Yanchao praised the three good words, "It's hard to be born in the Green Forest, but he is loyal to us. It's rare! By the way, what is this "Zhang Dasai" for? Why do you have such courage (lurking in the dead body)? If you have time, you really want him to train the recruits well, so that they won't be so scared that they'll be so scared that they'll be dizzy when they see the red!"

Murong Jixun lowered his head, thought about it and then decided to tell the truth: "It is said that he was a tomb robber..."

Murong Yan was very silent.

More than an hour later, Dong Zunhui led his army to take action. The first wave of teams he sent was the careless Ma Dehai. Anyway, it was a harassing battle, and Ma Dehai, who could not hold his temper, was the most suitable for the first battle. He saw him leading 500 soldiers to the moat in a generous manner, and it took a few steps before entering the range of the defenders on the city.

Murong Yanchao held his breath in the city, raised his bow and arrow, ready to shoot at any time. Murong Yanchao also whispered: "Everyone is ready!"

At this tense moment, Ma Dehai suddenly lifted up his armor, took off his pants, and urinated for a long time. After urinating, he was not satisfied, so he shook his legs slightly, and then lazily sorted out his armor and turned away. Ma Dehai's subordinates also followed suit, and all peed into the moat for a long time, and then left with satisfaction.

Although the water in the moat was living water and everyone's urine was quickly washed away by the river, the defenders on the city could believe the pickled smell. Everyone was a little nauseous. What's this called?!

Murong Yan laughed a few times and said loudly to Murong Jixun and others: "The enemy only has such a small trick, and it won't be a big deal! I guess this is the enemy's temptation strategy. Although everyone can be happy, they must not relax their guard!"

Everyone nodded and said yes. Although they were still a little nervous, they were a little contemptuous towards the Zhou army. They could only come up with such a trick to lure the enemy. Why should we be afraid of being nervous?!

Half an hour later, Zhang Yi led 500 soldiers in black clothes and walked over quietly. They came sneakily to the moat and raised more than a hundred foreskin wooden shields.

Murong Yanchao looked down in surprise, but saw a red light shining behind the wooden shield. Murong Yanchao immediately ordered: "The whole army is ready, be careful of the rocket!"

Sure enough, as Murong Yanchao expected, Zhang Yi's troops under the city quickly lit hundreds of rockets and shot them at the top of the city. However, the position where Zhang Yi and the others were far away from the range of the archers in the city meant that Zhang Yi and the others could not shoot at the top of the city.

The rocket quickly pierced down weakly, penetrated into the bodies of the bandits who died in the daytime, making a sizzling sound of barbecue. Of course, there were also unlucky guys like Zhang Dasai who were shot straight by the rocket, jumped up from the ground in a mess, slapped the flames on their butts, and rushed towards the city gate.

Zhang Yi and others shot two or three rounds of rockets, which had no effect on the city. Just as the Taining Army was waiting for Zhang Yi and others to step forward, Zhang Yi and others patted their butts and turned around and left!

Murong Yanchao is so depressed! What's this called?! Are you attacking at night or dealing with business? Do you have any professional aspirations?

Once every half an hour, Dong Zunhui's troops strictly followed this schedule, slowly appeared in the sight of the defenders on the city, and left lazily after dealing with the business.

Murong Jixun whispered and said, "Father, please give me a thousand men and let us go out of the city quietly. When the enemy comes to harass us again, we will act and wipe them out!"

Murong Yanchao shook his head repeatedly, "My son, the enemy is deliberately harassing us in order to deceive us out of the city! Guo Wei's imperial camp is located not far away. Even if Zhou Jun is lazy, he will not dare to act like this in front of the emperor. This move must be a fraud! Just in case, it is safer for us to stay in the city!"
