Chapter 422 Battle of Runan

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Sima Yan was young and energetic, and he had a family feud, so he was very eager to fight. However, in the eyes of the Han soldiers, he was a little uncomfortable.

Liu Tan liked this young general a little. He laughed loudly and said: "Okay, then I will give the general five thousand elites.

The general is responsible for the main attack, and I will suppress the general with artillery fire."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Sima Yan was overjoyed.

Compared with his father Sima Zhao, Sima Yan has not been joining the Han camp for a long time, only two or three months now.

However, in the past two or three months, Sima Yan saw a different Han army.

Let’s talk about this King of Qin. Although he is very young and not much older than Sima Yan, he is a very polite prince.

Starting a war at this time was a casual comment, but the King of Qin actually agreed to it without caring that he was a general who had just surrendered to the Han Dynasty.

"Yan'er, be careful!" Sima Zhao warned.

"Don't worry, father!" Sima Yan responded and immediately rode out into battle. King Qin Liu Tan on the side also drew his sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "Fire!"

Bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

In an instant, there were explosions all over the city of Runan. Although before that, the defenders of Runan had also heard that the Han army now had the King of Han artillery, but they only heard about it.

At this moment, the Han army fired artillery shells from a thousand steps away, but they landed very accurately on the top of the city. Three of the artillery shells destroyed the arrow tower, and the remaining several artillery shells fell directly on the city wall. The nearby soldiers were instantly blown up.

They either flew out of the city or flew into the city, even if they didn't fly out of the city,

When it falls again,

I also fell like shit.

"Prefect!"

"Prefect!"

Above the city gate, two young generals helped a middle-aged man up. This middle-aged man was pale and trembling all over.

This man's name is Tian Pengzu, the son of General Cao Wei Zhenwei Tian Yu. He has been fighting with his father all year round, and has made some military exploits. Two years ago, he was ordered to guard Runan City.

Bang!

There was another explosion, and Tian Pengzu was shocked again just as he stood up.

"Prefect!"

The soldiers around him were a little panicked. They had never encountered such a powerful weapon. After all, Tian Pengzu was a general who had participated in many battles. As the Han army continued to fire cannonballs, he quickly calmed down.
p>

"Don't panic!" Tian Pengzu shouted.

"Immediately use shields to defend, and when the Han army rushes over, use thunder cannons to fight back!"

Tian Pengzu saw thousands of Han soldiers and horses, carrying ladders and pushing carts, rushing towards the city gate.

Although the Han army's Hanwang artillery was extremely powerful,

But the density of its artillery fire is not high.

Almost ten shells each time.

But Runan City is very wide.

Therefore, even though the Han army's artillery fire was fierce, the entire city was not hit.

Tian Pengzu was lucky. Although Runan City was also an important border town, it was not the main city attacked by the Han army this time, so the Han army's artillery fire was not as fierce as Hongnong.

Below the city!

"Rush!"

"Rush over!"

Sima Yan, who was running at full speed, shouted loudly: "Hurry to the city!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Five thousand Han troops, like wolves and tigers, pounced on the Runan city gate.

"Get ready!"

Tian Pengzu was dodging possible falling shells while calmly commanding the soldiers. He was watching the distance of the charging Han army. When the Han army's front troops rushed to two or three hundred steps away from the city, he suddenly shouted: "Let go!"
"Let it go!"

"Hurry up!"

The thunder cannons that had been prepared long ago shot out into the sky immediately.

Bang bang, bang bang bang!

There are a relatively large number of thunder cannons. Runan City has more than 80 three-bow crossbows. As for thunder cannons and rocket launchers, several major workshops in Runan City have not stopped production these days because the Han army is outside the city. Tian Pengzu

Very clear.

Sooner or later, the Han army will attack the city.

Thunderbolt cannons fell like raindrops, exploding continuously in the running Han army formation.

Compared with the blasting noise of the Hanwang Cannon, the Thunderbolt Cannon is much smaller, but it is stronger in numbers. Under this round of bombardment, the Han army also suffered a big blow.

"Run!"

"Rush over!"

Sima Yan was not frightened by the thunder cannon and still moved forward bravely. The soldiers were already frightened, but seeing the general still moving forward desperately, they all followed suit and charged forward desperately.

"Run!"

"Run!"

The Han soldiers quickly dispersed in all directions to avoid the falling thunderbolt cannons.

In front of the rear army formation.

"Bazooka!" Liu Tan shouted loudly.

The Wei army used thunder cannons, which caused a lot of trouble for the Han army's siege troops, and of course Liu Tan could see it.

As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, dozens of rocket launchers pushed forward.

Although the ten Hanwang artillery firepower is fierce, the area covered is still limited. If Liu Tan wants to quickly attack Runan City, he needs to use firepower to suppress the Wei army at the head of the city.

"Your Highness!" Sima Zhao said anxiously: "The enemy's thunderbolt cannons are too dense, and our army has too few people attacking the city." After saying this, he handed over to Liu Tanyi and said, "I will ask for orders to lead the army to attack the city."
Sima Zhao is worried about his son.

After all, Sima Yan is too young and has not spent much time on the battlefield before.

"Yes!" Liu Tan said: "I will also give the general five thousand elites!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Sima Zhao responded, and immediately rushed towards Runan City with five thousand soldiers.

City Head——

Tian Pengzu was very worried. The last time the Han army attacked the city, after a thunderbolt attack, the Han army was quickly pushed back.

But today, the casualties caused by thunderbolt artillery to the Han army were still considerable, but not a single soldier was seen retreating. Instead, they moved forward bravely.

"Keep cumming!"

"Don't stop!"

"Don't stop!"

Tian Pengzu kept shouting loudly, and at the same time asked the archers to be ready at all times, because the leading troops of the Han army had already arrived at the moat.

"Quick!"

"Hurry over!"

Sima Yan came to the moat and kept urging the soldiers to cross the river. The river was not very wide, about two or three feet, and he could quickly cross it by climbing up the ladder.

"Fire the arrow!"

"Hurry up and shoot the arrow!"

The Wei troops on the city braved the fire from the Han king's artillery and kept firing arrows at the bottom of the city.

The moat is the last line of defense for the city. Once the enemy crosses the river, they can climb the city via ladders.

"Cut it!"

Several Han soldiers who rushed across the moat quickly ran to the bottom of the city gate. They used their shields to block the arrows fired from the city, and then put a long ladder on the suspension bridge.

"Shoot!"

"Cum!"

The Wei army above the city gate naturally saw the Han army's intentions. A middle-aged general shouted sternly: "Shoot them to death and never let them cut down the suspension bridge!"

But just when dozens of archers rushed over to shoot the Han soldiers climbing the suspension bridge, a Hanwang cannon fell behind them.

With a loud bang, dozens of archers were blown away, and the flying shrapnel injured many nearby Wei soldiers.

But just after the explosion, dozens of archers rushed over.

"Shoot!"

"Shoot them!"

Whoosh, whoosh, dozens of feather arrows kept flying. The Han soldier in front of him who had just climbed to the top of the suspension bridge was shot over by several feather arrows before he could swing his sword to the rope.

The Han soldiers at the top fell down, followed by several more soldiers climbing up.

The Han and Wei armies were just at the gate of the city, and they were going back and forth. The Wei troops on the city were constantly killed and wounded by the Han king's cannons, and as soon as the artillery fire stopped, new Han troops came to replace them.

Sima Yan was very anxious on the other side of the river. Most of the 5,000 soldiers he brought over were already dead or injured in less than a cup of tea.

"Quick!"

"Hurry over!"

Sima Yan kept urging the soldiers to cross the river. The Han troops who had already crossed the moat quickly set up ladders and began to climb the city wall.

When the Wei army on the city saw the Han army beginning to climb the city, they greeted the Han army with the boiling oil, rolling wood and stones they had prepared.

In an instant, wailing sounds were heard all over the city walls and under the city walls.

Returning to the initial state of the siege, Tian Pengzu rushed left and right. When he saw the Han troops ascending to the top of the city, he followed the generals to kill them.

The Han army's rear formation——

Liu Tan looked at the city wall in front of him from a distance. Many Han soldiers had already boarded the city and were beaten down again.

He has naturally experienced such a battle.

Just seeing Han troops being repelled one after another, Liu Tan was still very anxious.

In order to give the siege troops more time to charge, Liu Tan asked the Hanwang Artillery to advance a little further, but instead of attacking the top of the city, he fired the artillery shells into the city.

There are only ten Hanwang cannons. It is still a bit difficult to let it play the main offensive role, but it is enough to deter the opponent.

Because as more and more Han troops began to climb the city wall, the Wei army's thunderbolt cannons on the city were significantly weakened. It should be that Han troops had already climbed onto the city wall, which made them unable to fire easily!

On top of the city——

Three Han army generals quickly climbed to the top of the city, and then the three of them quickly formed a triangular defense line.

"Kill!"

Facing the charging Wei army, the three men let out roars that shook the sky.

But the number of Wei soldiers who rushed over was obviously more than them, more than ten people in total.

Three against ten, there is absolutely no chance of winning.

However, they ignored it and started to fight with more than ten Wei soldiers. Just as they started to fight with more than ten Wei soldiers, several Han soldiers rushed up behind them.

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the Wei army were also howling and screaming. Even the soldiers of the nearby Wei army who were responsible for firing thunder cannons picked up their swords and rushed towards the Han army.

This kind of scene is not limited to this one place. In fact, this scene can be seen everywhere on the city wall. It is just that the Wei army defenders have a superior number. Facing the Han army that has just entered the city, they can quickly defeat them and cut them down.

Kill.

It's just that the Han army's generals are constantly coming to the city.

The numerical advantage did not last long for the Wei army.

Tian Pengzu killed more than ten Han soldiers in a row. Regardless of the loud explosions in the city behind him, he desperately went to kill the rushing Han soldiers.

On the not-so-wide city wall, there were flashes of swords and shadows, and the sounds of killing were loud.

As more and more Han troops boarded the city, the Wei army's thunderbolt cannons completely lost their effect. It wasn't that they didn't want to fire, it was just that they no longer had the energy. They had to use their swords to kill the Han troops who boarded the city.
p>

At this time.

There was a sudden loud noise below the city.

Bang!

The huge suspension bridge fell with a bang, kicking up the dust on the ground. This made Sima Yan, who was directing the crossing of the river, immediately overjoyed.

"Rush over!"

The soldiers pushing the crash cart shouted loudly, and dozens of soldiers supported the crash cart and rushed toward the city gate.

Boom, boom, boom!

The soldiers of the Han army pushed the cart and hit the city gate violently, causing the city gate to tremble. The soldiers of the Wei army guarding the city gate were all very nervous. They smashed the wood they found everywhere.

Against the huge wooden door.

But seeing the trembling wood, they were still worried, so dozens of people hugged the wood against the door, hoping to reduce the damage from the impact.

"Bump!"

"Hit it hard!"

The Han army outside the city gate shouted slogans and violently banged against the huge wooden door. Their luck was also very good, because many Han soldiers had already boarded the tower. The Wei soldiers on the city were now

There is no time or experience to worry about them.

Break open the city gate.

As long as the city gate is broken open, Runan City will belong to the Han army.

On the city wall.

Tian Pengzu and a group of Wei soldiers continued to block the Han troops who ascended the city, but the number of Han troops was too great. After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the number of Wei troops on the city was reduced to less than 3,000.
Moreover, this is also the final strength of the Runan City defenders.

Tian Pengzu was very anxious.

I'm afraid the city will be destroyed and people will die today.

It was all because of the Hanwang Cannon. If the Han army had not owned the Hanwang Cannon, he firmly believed that it would be absolutely impossible for the Han army to board the city.

However, the Han army had the King of Han artillery, which completely suppressed the firepower of the Wei army before the war began. Even if the Wei army used thunder cannons to block the Han army's siege troops later, they could not completely block the Han army from the city.

"Tian Pengzu!"

A sudden loud shout shocked Tian Pengzu who was really fighting hard. When he turned around and looked over, he saw a familiar face.

"Sima Yan!" Tian Pengzu roared: "You are a traitor who surrendered to the enemy."

"Soldiers, whoever kills Sima Yan will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"

"Haha!"

Sima Yan jumped up to the top of the city, pointed his spear, and laughed loudly: "Don't struggle any more, Runan will be defeated today." After saying that, Sima Yan glanced at the thousands of Wei soldiers behind Tian Pengzu, and shouted loudly:

Said: "The royal family of Cao Wei is unkind and wants to kill our Sima family. Do you still want to be loyal to such a court?"

"Soldiers!"

"Surrender!"

Sima Yan returned the favor and pointed outside the city wall, saying: "Cao Wei's strength is exhausted. Surrender as soon as possible to avoid innocent and unjust death!"

"Bastard!" Tian Pengzu said angrily: "Do you think everyone is as spineless as your Sima family and committed treason?"

"Soldiers!" Tian Pengzu said loudly: "We are the generals of the Wei Dynasty in life, and we should be the ghosts of the Wei Dynasty in death. Even if the city is destroyed today, Peng Zu is willing to die together with all the soldiers."

Tian Pengzu knew that Sima Yan wanted to surrender the Wei army in the city, but he was a general in the Wei Dynasty and was deeply favored by the emperor. He would rather die in battle than surrender to the enemy.

These soldiers have been following him to guard Runan.

I believe they all care about their reputation and will never be as spineless as Sima and his son.

But——

Tian Pengzu had just finished shouting when he heard a crackling sound behind him, which was the sound of weapons falling on the ground.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Seeing this, Sima Yan laughed loudly and said: "Tian Pengzu, the matter has come to this, why don't you surrender quickly?"
