Chapter 494 Ten Thousand Horses
The lieutenant smiled wryly, and said to the general defending the city:
"General, now that the Mongolian army is coming in menacingly, the brothers will soon be unable to defend."
"If you can't hold it anymore, then what are you still doing here, bring someone up, give me a top!"
The general who guarded the city said with a displeased face, obviously he was very angry.
The lieutenant did not expect the general to sell himself, he said with a wry smile:
"General, shall I go up?"
"If you don't go up, I won't be able to go up, hurry up!"
The general kicked his deputy and let him lead the people to the top of the city.
At this time, the Mongolian army has entered the range, and the siege equipment of the Mongolian army is still throwing stones towards the city wall. As soon as the deputy general came up, a big stone flew towards him, scaring him. Quickly hid back again.
"Damn it, you are afraid of death, but you let me come up to die, it's really not a thing!"
The lieutenant said cursing in his mouth, but at this time he had to obey orders. After all, even if he wanted to resist, it would be impossible for him to resist at this time. In wartime, if you want to kill someone He can just find an excuse.
"What are you doing in a daze, rush up and shoot the arrow!"
The lieutenant yelled loudly at his subordinates.
The so-called raging soldiers, a raging nest, the generals are like this, how can the soldiers below be better and where to go.
The officials are afraid of death, and the people below are also afraid of death, so these soldiers dare not stand up under the offensive of the Mongolian army.
The Mongolian army was coming fiercely. Fortunately, the terrain of Dingzhou City was steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it was considered to temporarily resist the pace of the Mongolian army's attack.
But looking at the momentum of the Mongolian army, it has the meaning of annexing Dingzhou City.
The powerful Mongolian iron cavalry galloped from a distance like a wind and clouds.
Ten thousand horses are silent, it should be such a scene, the whole Dingzhou city is trembling.
On the swaying city wall, the soldiers guarding the city were scared out of their wits. They hid nervously behind the stone stacks one by one, not daring to show their heads.
If it weren't for the high walls of Dingzhou City, I am afraid that the city walls would have been breached by Mongolian cavalry long ago.
"Go, give it all!"
Li Ran was terrified, he didn't dare to face the Mongolian army, but he dared to deal with his own soldiers.
Li Ran used his guards as a law enforcement force, and anyone who dared to shrink back would be dealt with by military law.
In this way, the effect is very significant. At least a group of soldiers finally started to fight back against the Mongolian army attacking from the city.
The side defending the city is condescending and shoots arrows from above, which is very advantageous.
As for the Mongolian army attacking the city, as warriors on the prairie, all of them were marksmen. After all, they were born with bows and arrows, so the two sides began to shoot at each other under the city.
In this way, in the absence of more powerful siege equipment, the two sides have formed an evenly matched situation.
It was noon, and Li Ran recovered a little bit. He had been relieved from the fear at the beginning. After all, he thought that the city would be broken soon, but now it seems that breaking the city is not so easy.
There is no way, the terrain of Dingzhou City is too steep, it is a natural danger, and it is not so easy for the Mongolian army to attack.
Li Ran said to his lieutenant general:
"It's already noon, why hasn't Li Dingtian come yet?"
The lieutenant smiled wryly and said:
"Don't be impatient, general. After all, this is an army of [-]. Such a long team will arrive at our place, at least it will be night."
Li Ran snorted coldly and said:
"I think it's probably because Li Dingtian is hesitant to move forward because he is greedy for life and afraid of death."
The deputy general hurriedly looked around and said to Li Ran:
"General, be careful. If this gets to the ears of King Lanling, it will be a disaster."
Li Ran pouted and said:
"Others are afraid of Li Dingtian, but I am not afraid of him."
What Li Ran said was somewhat bragging. After all, although Li Ran was also a branch of the royal family, he already belonged to a very collateral lineage, while Li Dingtian was a straight and young man.
"Come on, hurry up and show me where General Bei'an's army has gone. Tell him, if he doesn't come again, just wait for Dingzhou City to break down."
Li Ran said to the messenger.
The lieutenant smiled wryly, and hurriedly said:
"General, that's a bit of an exaggeration."
Li Ran rolled his eyes and said to the lieutenant general:
"What do you know? If I don't say that, how can I make this guy anxious. Now that the Mongolian army is coming menacingly, who knows if they can attack."
The deputy general quickly complimented and said:
"General Shengming."
Li Ran thought to himself, Holy shit, even though the Mongol army didn't attack because of the advantage of the location, he always felt uncertain in his heart.
In fact, Li Ran really guessed it right. Just when they thought that it would be difficult for the Mongolian army to attack because of natural dangers, Temujin had already brought a large army over the mountains and came to the Both sides of Dingzhou City.
The reason why Dingzhou City is steep is because it was built in the middle of two mountains, also known as two mountains plus one pass. Anyone who wants to attack Dingzhou City can only attack through the main gate. There are mountains on both sides, and the enemy cannot attack at all.
So at this time, Li Ran only needs to guard the front door, and then everything will be safe. There is an aura of one man guarding the gate, and no one can open it, but even so, Li Ran is still very scared. At that time, his calves were so scared. Soft.
There is no way, the defenders of Dingzhou City are living a very comfortable life. Although they are also soldiers, they are all Taiping soldiers. They have never fought at all. When they saw their comrades die for the first time By my side, the visual impact is completely different from the feeling of speaking.
On the contrary, the Mongolian army is completely opposite at this time. They are the real division of tigers and wolves. The perennial battles on the Mongolian grassland have given these soldiers strong resilience. In the face of war, they must win, because the losers , there is no way to survive.
Temujin personally led people up the mountain, which had a huge impact on the Mongolian soldiers, just like the effect of rushing with me and rushing for me. These Mongolian soldiers took the lead when they saw their Khan , The shock they received in their hearts was still very huge.
At the end of the day, Li Ran's messengers had already returned, but the news that came back gave Li Ran an urge to scold his mother. It turns out that Li Dingtian's army has not even traveled half of the way.
