Chapter 1,297 Attacking the City and Blocking Reinforcements
Luo Zhang's operation successfully won the favor of all the officers and soldiers in Chengdu County, and also inspired their hearts. They originally thought that Chengdu County could not defend it, but now they are full of confidence.
In their opinion, as long as they persist for two days, they can be rescued. Mr. Luo will not break his promise!
The road to the outside world in Chengdu County has been blocked by Changsun Wuji's army in order to prevent Luo Zhang's army from coming to rescue Chengdu. As long as Luo Zhang is stopped and Chengdu County is captured before Luo Zhang breaks the road,
Then Luo Zhang failed and had no choice but to retreat. This was Changsun Wuji's idea.
In the early morning, Changsun Wuji's army, which was besieging Chengdu County, finally launched an attack on Chengdu County. Huge crossbows fired huge crossbow arrows at Chengdu County.
The catapults were not loaded with boulders, but bundles of ignited wooden lumps, which were fired towards Chengdu County and exploded on the city wall of Chengdu County, killing many officers and soldiers defending the city.
However, the officers and soldiers guarding the city were not frightened. One group was killed, and another group pushed forward, determined not to let the enemy rush forward.
Likewise, the rolling logs and stones were thrown down the city, killing many of the enemies who rushed up.
Of course, there were also crossbowmen who would shoot arrows tied with wooden knots at the charging enemies, blasting large craters outside the city and killing many enemies.
The war between the two sides became intense from the beginning.
At the same time, at the entrance to Chengdu, Cheng Yaojin traveled day and night and finally arrived. After only resting for half an hour, he mounted his horse again and led his army to attack the enemies blocking the entrance.
The impact of the cavalry was very terrifying, and the first batch of cavalry to attack were not ordinary cavalry, but cavalry covered in special armor. The entire horse was covered with armor made in a workshop, with only one eye exposed, and
The same goes for the soldiers riding on it, with only a pair of eyes exposed from the whole body.
Holding a special spear in his hand, he looks like a European knight.
However, this is indeed what Luo Zhang did after imitating European medieval knights. The style is more streamlined and the material is much lighter than the armor worn by those knights.
Being light does not mean that the defense is weak. These armors have been tested. No matter whether it is chopped with a knife or an ax, these armors cannot be broken. They are equivalent to mobile fortresses.
Of course, the number of such cavalry cannot be too large. In a cavalry team of 30,000 people, there are only one thousand of these cavalry, but the effect of these one thousand is more powerful than that of a cavalry team of 30,000 people.
Under the charge of these thousand cavalry, the enemies blocking the passage were unable to resist. They originally sent out cavalry to block them, but they were killed by these thousands of cavalry, leaving no trace behind.
In desperation, they all had to retreat and use wooden lumps to stop Cheng Yaojin's army from attacking.
Wooden knots are still very powerful weapons. Although the war horses are wearing armor, the sound of the explosion still affects these horses, making the war horses a little afraid.
Behind, Cheng Yaojin's teeth were almost broken, and he was so angry that he didn't expect Changsun Wuji to be so mean and actually used wooden lumps to block his attack.
Do you think you have wood bumps but we don’t?
At that moment, a famous cavalryman changed his weapons, threw away all the spears in his hands, and replaced them with a crossbow, and the crossbow was tied with wooden knots.
Cheng Yaojin's idea was very simple, that is, he would rush forward and hit the enemy with a hail of arrows tied with wooden knots, and see who could withstand it.
The war horses with armor defense were not afraid of the bombardment of the wooden lumps. With the knight's forceful urging and plugging their ears, the war horses also broke through their fear and approached the enemy's position.
A hail of arrows was fired towards the enemy's position.
Boom boom boom!!!
The enemy's position suddenly heard bursts of explosions.
What followed was miserable screams, and soldiers fell to the ground everywhere on the battlefield, but these were only the ones at the front, there were more enemies behind them.
After the soldiers in the front fell, the enemies in the rear, like Chengdu County, came up again.
Changsun Wuji had given a fatal order to stop the reinforcements at all costs. If the reinforcements were allowed to break through and rescue Chengdu, then everyone here would be dead!
