Chapter 2099 The siege begins

"General Shi has considered everything." The generals around Shi Wenhao said hurriedly.

Shi Wenhao smiled complacently, thinking, don't you look at my position, and then look at your position. If you stand in my position, you must consider the overall situation. How can you only care about the immediate interests? Shi Wenhao also believed that Yelu Zong must also hope that he can take Linshui City without bloodshed, which is a very favorable result for their Shuiyue Kingdom.

However, Shi Wenhao soon found that the situation was not right. His letter had been sent out for a long time, but the gate of Linshui City was still closed, and the defenders on the top of the city showed no signs of surrender.

This was different from Shi Wenhao's expectations, and his brows frowned unconsciously.

Could it be that Peng Chuan really planned to fight them to the death? Where did he get the courage? Did he really think that if he defeated Qi Feng, he could defeat the army of their Shuiyue Kingdom?

Childish!

Courting death!

The generals beside Shi Wenhao soon discovered that things did not seem to develop as they expected, and Shi Wenhao's letter of persuasion did not seem to work.

"General, the defenders in the city seem unwilling to surrender." A general said.

Shi Wenhao's face was a little ugly. He wanted to take Linshui City without bloodshed, and he also vowed that the people of Heishui Country would not dare to be their enemy. However, now the defenders in Linshui City did not seem to want to give him this "face".

"It's not half an hour yet, wait a little longer!" Shi Wenhao said in a deep voice.

The general stopped talking, but like everyone else, he looked at the top of the city, waiting for the defenders on the top of the city to make a decision.

Time passed by minute by minute, and both sides inside and outside Linshui City seemed a little silent, and both sides were deadlocked there.

"General, half an hour is up."

In the camp of Shuiyue Country, a general whispered to Shi Wenhao.

At this time, Shi Wenhao's face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out. He never thought that the people in Linshui City would not accept surrender and actually planned to fight them to the end! This made his idea of ​​taking Linshui City without bloodshed completely shattered, and also made him lose face in front of the generals.

"Everyone listen to the order, look at Linshui City, attack!"

Shi Wenhao, who was furious, gave the order to attack.

The reason why Shi Wenhao did not let the team camp first was, as Wu Fan and Peng Chuan and others thought, that he did not take the defenders in Linshui City seriously. Shi Wenhao's idea was very simple. As long as he sent a letter of persuasion, the defenders in Linshui City would definitely abandon the city and surrender, and welcome them into the city. In this way, they could spend the night in the city, and naturally they didn't have to camp in the wild.

Even if the defenders of Linshui City were unwilling to surrender, Shi Wenhao believed that with their strength, they could capture Linshui City with a charge and still spend the night in the city, and there was no need to camp outside the city.

It was because of this idea that Shi Wenhao did not choose to camp after he led his army to the outskirts of Linshui City. Now, it is obvious that the second situation that he was not willing to see has appeared, but Shi Wenhao still firmly believes that they can spend the night in Linshui City.

"This small Linshui City actually wants to stop our army? It's looking for death!" Shi Wenhao thought in his heart.

After receiving Shi Wenhao's order, the generals next to Shi Wenhao all conveyed Shi Wenhao's order with excitement.

Compared to Shi Wenhao's disappointment, these generals are very happy to see the current situation. The so-called fame and military merit are all obtained on the battlefield. If they really take Linshui City without bloodshed this time, they will not have any credit. Instead, they will suppress the resistance of the people of Heishui Country, so they can get credit. As for whether they can suppress the resistance of the people of Heishui Country, everyone will not doubt this at all. Therefore, at this time, they are not angry or disappointed, but look excited.

After all, the combat effectiveness of the Shuiyue Kingdom's army should not be underestimated. After receiving the order, the army lined up in a neat queue and headed towards Linshui City. After entering the range of the archers, everyone started running.

"All archers, get ready!" On the top of the city, looking at the Shuiyue Kingdom army that was like a black cloud pressing down, Peng Chuan's face was calm: "Target the Shuiyue Kingdom army, free shooting!"

Swish, swish, swish!

As soon as Peng Chuan finished speaking, the archers of the Black Water Kingdom, who had been preparing for a long time, launched an attack on the enemy outside the city.

Because there were too many enemy troops outside the city, the archers on the top of the city did not need to aim at all, and could just shoot at will. In this case, they could almost shoot the enemy with their eyes closed.

Facing the rain of arrows from the top of the city, the army of Shuiyue Kingdom was not panicked at all. This was within their expectations. In the marching team, the people holding shields stood in front, and the archers in the team immediately fought back on the top of the city. Although the power of the attack from bottom to top was weakened, it could at least cause some trouble to the defenders on the top of the city.

"Bring up the catapults and siege hammers in the team!" In the rear team, Shi Wenhao had been paying attention to the battlefield situation. Seeing that the defenders on the top of the city really fought back, he lost the last bit of luck in his heart and immediately asked people to transfer the catapults.

Because Shi Wenhao's marching speed was very slow, although it caused a lot of time delay on the road, it was not without benefits. At least large siege equipment such as battering rams and catapults always followed the main force instead of falling far behind.

At this moment, the siege war officially started, and it was naturally time for these large siege equipment to show their power.

The angles of the catapults were being adjusted, and the siege equipment such as siege hammers and ladders had been transported to the wall of Linshui City with the soldiers attacking the city. This would be the key to their capture of Linshui City.

However, before these siege equipment could be used, the soldiers of Shuiyue Kingdom who were at the forefront cried miserably.

"What's going on?" Shi Wenhao looked forward in surprise, and then took a breath.

In front of the team, countless soldiers of Shuiyue Kingdom who were charging in front fell to the ground, some wailing, some motionless, and as for those who could still stand, none of them were there!

"General, the people of Heishui Kingdom set a trap outside the city!" A general came to report.

"Damn it!" Shi Wenhao said angrily. Only then did he understand that the people of the Black Water Kingdom had never thought of surrendering or submitting to their Shuiyue Kingdom from the beginning to the end. They had been preparing for this war a long time ago. The funny thing was that he actually thought about persuading them to surrender, which made him feel ashamed of being fooled.
