There are still many capable people under General Mithong. They have lived in the jungle for a long time, and a rope is their main tool for making a living, so climbing up the city wall along the rope is very simple for many people.
There are no roads in the mountains and forests. Even if there is a small river, it is very likely that you will have to go around for dozens of miles. So when encountering this situation, many people rely on ropes to swing through like a swing, and it is impossible for them to go around for dozens of miles.
The main reason is that there are dangers everywhere in the woods. Even if you take one more step, you may not be able to return home. Therefore, everyone has a deep relationship with the rope, which is like a part of their body. The same is true for climbing the city wall. From the time the general gave the order to now, it has only been a cup of tea, and more than a dozen people have already climbed up.
The first step was considered a success, and the people below breathed a sigh of relief. Then the second wave of people continued to rush up. The general was not a fool. Only a dozen people could go up at a time. If these dozen people wanted to open the city gate, it would be tantamount to suicide.
Therefore, at least a hundred people must go up and then they can slowly lurk towards the city gate. The road going down from the city wall must be full of people, and there is no way to get through there. They can only rely on surprise attacks to kill them.
Of course, there are also capable people among these people. If they really can't kill the enemy, they can pull up the rope and then go down into the city along the rope. As for whether they can reach the city gate, it depends on luck.
The general chose some strong soldiers who were very familiar with the situation in the city. If he chose some soldiers who were unfamiliar with the situation, even if they ran to the city gate, they probably wouldn't know how to open it. This is different from the doors of ordinary people's houses, and there are some mechanisms inside.
The fourth group of people had also gone up. The general looked at both sides of the city wall nervously. The situation was still similar to before. The torches on it were very dim, and many soldiers had gone to sleep.
"General, don't worry. The people on duty tonight are the Kuizi Battalion. They are also the least favored group. It is said that they are still a month short of their military pay. They are unwilling to work for the king."
Seeing that the general was a little worried, Wu Dengsheng quickly told the general what he knew, hoping to make the general relax a little.
"It's not a question of risking our lives now. If there's even the slightest noise, we might not be able to fight our way in. At least we have to fight our way in. Even if we're chased out by these people, we've made a noise, and the Tang Dynasty Crown Prince will know of our efforts."
General Mipeng spoke in a very sad way. After all, he was a great general of a country, but now he had to act for food and even sacrifice the lives of his subordinates. It was a tragedy. But when facing the Tang Empire, you could only do this and you had no ability to resist at all.
In fact, everyone in the army is feeling a little regretful now. If they had known the result would be like this, why did they fight so fiercely with the Tang army in Wa City? If we had surrendered directly at that time, with so many troops under our command, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty would have given us an official position, and we could even live a little better than we do now.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world. They have already taken a wrong step, and now there is no room for them to regret. They can only continue to move forward.
"Enemy attack..."
There was a loud noise in the distance, which should be the stairs going down from the city wall. The general cried out inwardly that something was wrong, and his men became nervous. In the end, they were discovered by the people on the city wall. This was normal. There were thousands of soldiers on the city wall. It was basically impossible for you to open the door without anyone noticing.
"Release the arrows, release the arrows quickly."
The archers on the city wall also woke up. When they saw the crowds of people below the city, they immediately called on their companions to shoot.
"General, please retreat."
The soldiers defending the city are in a dominant position and can easily harm the soldiers below the wall. However, if the people below the wall want to shoot arrows, it would probably not be so easy, and it would be even more difficult to hit the target.
"well."
General Mipeng sighed helplessly and could only retreat with his men, or at least retreat out of the range of arrows, otherwise they would just wait to be targeted where they were. Our counterattack would not have much effect and we could only passively take the beating.
The battle on the city wall began to intensify, and a large number of soldiers rushed towards the rebels. Although they were not favored by the king and even lost a month's salary, in this situation, if you don't fight hard, you may be killed at any time. In addition, there are not many people coming up from the other side, only less than a hundred people, so they can still see victory.
The people the general found were also strong in martial arts. They did not fight. They had only one goal, which was to open the city gate as soon as possible. If they could open the city gate, then there would still be a chance.
"General, look, it looks like the city gate is on fire."
Looking in from the outside, it seemed that there was indeed a fire at the city gate, but the fire was not very big.
"They must have been unable to open the city gate, so they poured some boiling oil down the city wall, hoping to burn it down with the oil."
The men immediately guessed that the city gates of the Kingdom of Pyu were all made of wood. Although they were covered with iron edges, if oil was poured on them, the entire city gate could be burned down. This was the only option for our soldiers who went up there.
"Go get some oil right away and pour it on the city gate from the outside. Even if it's shot at us, we have to light it."
General Mibong immediately changed his strategy. He could not expect the enemy to open the gate from the inside, but he could attack from both inside and outside and burn down the entire city gate.
"Put out the fire, and get some water."
The battle on the city wall was nearing its end. There were not many people left on General Mipeng's side, and the few who were still there had been eliminated. However, these people had done something big. They had set the city gate on fire. Because of the boiling oil, it was not so easy to put out the fire.
"Archers, don't move. Shoot everyone who comes towards you."
Seeing that people were approaching from outside the city, the general defending the city immediately gave orders that the firefighting could be handed over to others, and only archers could be relied upon to deal with the people approaching from outside the city, and no one else could help.
