This time the Liao army's attack was very fierce. They divided their troops into four groups and attacked the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest at the same time.
And it was a completely desperate fighting style, with the two teams taking turns to use battering rams and battering rams to hit the city gate.
At the same time, each team climbed the city wall with ten ladders.
A group of people below were holding the ladder, and the first person on the top was climbing up quickly with a shield in hand.
However, the Huo family army was well prepared.
Large stones, long hoes and kerosene had already been prepared on the top of the city wall.
The Huo family army was not afraid at all. They first used hoes to push down the ladder.
It would be a stroke of luck to succeed, the chances of that happening are not very high.
After that, they would take turns or work together to move stones and throw them.
After a few bangs, the Liao army began to wail.
In mild cases, the patient will suffer a bloody head injury, while in severe cases, the patient will die on the spot.
Of course, there are also experts in the Liao army.
The ladder is just auxiliary. With a few helpers, you can fly up directly by using light skills.
The Huo family soldiers directly rewarded the man with a handful of quicklime, and then, the archer who had been standing behind him and was ready, shot him two more arrows.
Then he cut the man's neck with a knife, picked it up and used it as a big stone, smashing it onto the Liao army.
At this time, the Liao army, which had successfully avoided several waves of attacks before, had been strung together, with everyone on the ladders from bottom to top.
Moreover, the Huo family army deliberately waited until they were in a position where they were neither up nor down before they began to pour kerosene and light the fire.
With a sudden rush, the fire caught fire when it met the oil, and a large bunch of them were burned.
Suddenly, the air was filled with the wailing and cries of pain from the Liao army. Some simply rolled down, taking a bunch of them with them.
Some simply let go in mid-air, trying to swat out the fire, but ended up falling to death before they could be burned to death.
As for those who rammed the city gates, they were easier to deal with.
The Huo family army seized the opportunity and when the Liao army was closest to the city gate, they directly spread poison through the cracks in the gate and the small door opening.
The poison was specially prepared by Leng Yue. Inhaling even a little bit of it would result in certain death.
The Huo family army easily handled the situation without having to mobilize a single soldier.
The reason why the Liao army was so powerful this time was because they had no food to eat.
He tried to catch the Huo family army off guard while they were eating.
Quickly capture the city gate, then enter the city to burn, kill and loot, and they will be able to eat their fill.
However, they never expected that the Huo family army was well prepared.
The city gate could not be taken for a long time. The Liao army attacked repeatedly, and coupled with hunger, they could not hold out for long.
They could only retreat in disgrace like a dog that had lost its home.
On the first day of the battle, the Liao army suffered a series of setbacks and ended up losing two battles in a row.
Morale continued to drop, and coupled with hunger, the whole group was like a pile of loose sand.
They sat together in twos and threes, with droopy heads. Now they didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Everyone was so hungry that their stomachs were sticking to each other, and all they could hear was rumbling sounds, as if their stomachs were protesting.
Someone in the crowd asked, "When will the supplies arrive? I'm starving!"
This was truly a move that caused a huge uproar, and all the Liao army officers and soldiers present protested.
“We are hungry and we need to eat.
If you don’t give us food, we won’t fight this war!
Yes! No more fighting!
No more fighting! "
At this moment, Amur Linggui had just eaten and was lying there taking a nap!
Suddenly, the confidant came in hurriedly, "Report! Your Majesty!
Our soldiers have protested, they want to rebel."
With a click, Amur Linggui sat up.
There was another slap and he slapped the edge of the bed.
"Rebellion, rebellion, everything is rebellious!
They are not good at fighting, but they are good at rebellion.
You are still not hungry. If you have the energy, go fight the Huo family army instead of making things difficult for our own people."
Then, he narrowed his eyes and glared at the confidant.
"Meng Kuduo, you have followed me for so long, can't you do such a small thing?
What use is there for me to keep you?"
Mengkuduo was so frightened that he immediately knelt on one knee and apologized to Amurlinggui.
"Your Majesty! I was wrong. I am incompetent.
But isn’t this a special period?
I’m afraid that if I go too far, it will escalate the conflict and there will be no way to resolve it.”
Amur Linggui suddenly raised his leg and kicked Meng Kuduo.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You've been scheming for a long time.
You just don't want to offend anyone.
Spread my words, whoever dares to make trouble again.
Then kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and shoot the bird that sticks its head out.
If they make a fuss, it means they all cherish their lives.
As long as there is a weakness, it is easy to take advantage of it."
Meng Kuduo was still a little worried, this time was different from the past.
He was afraid that if he really pushed the soldiers into a corner, they would be able to do anything!
He wanted to persuade Amurlinggui again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Amurlinggui glared back at him.
Helpless, Meng Kuoduo could only leave in disappointment.
In a blink of an eye, Mengkuduo met with generals from various directions.
When the generals saw Mengkuduo coming back from afar, they hurried to greet him.
He asked anxiously, "Master Meng, what happened?
What did the prince say?
Meng Kuduo's brows were furrowed so much that they could pinch a fly to death. Thinking of what Amur Linggui had just said, he sighed helplessly.
Shaking his head, he said, "Your Highness, a full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man!
When I went there, he had just finished lunch and was lying there dozing off, planning to take a nap!
I have said that whoever makes trouble again will be killed as a warning to others, and the leading bird will be shot.
Get rid of a few of the troublemakers, and the people below should calm down."
Now the generals couldn't sit still anymore and asked excitedly, "What?
Isn't this nonsense and will it exacerbate conflicts?
If it happened under normal circumstances, killing a few people and scaring them might be helpful.
Now they are all as hungry as wolves. When they see people, their eyes light up and they can't wait to rush up and take a bite.
Just kill them. Once this precedent is set, the people below will really be out of control.
By then, before the plague spreads and before the Huo family army takes action, we will all die in a fight."
This is exactly what Meng Kuo was worried about, "Brothers, we can't rely on the higher-ups, we can only hope for the best!
Everyone can think of a way, but fill your stomach first!
At least there is still some hope when alive, but when dead it is all over!"
For a moment, the tent was filled with sighs.
After a while, someone asked.
"Is there really no hope for supplies?"
Meng Kuoduo felt a pain in his heart when he thought about this, "We have broken the pot, do you think the Huo family army will allow us to get supplies?
Let’s forget about supplies.
Let’s think of some ideas and first let the soldiers fill their stomachs!
Otherwise, if everyone is so violent, what happens next will be out of control!"
