Chapter 501 Protracted War
Updated: 2012-09-16
Donglai Prefecture, Changyang County.
Wen Ding, deputy general of the Eighth Mansion of Xiaoguo Army, raised his long sword to slash him down, and shouted shrillly: "Let me go!"
“Huhhhh…”
Huge stones were thrown out from the basket of the stone thrower. The huge stones were thrown forward with a huge roar from the sky, and they flew for hundreds of meters before they could
It fell down fiercely from the sky.
"boom……"
With a loud bang, the rocks falling from the sky had already fallen hard in front of the guards, only a short distance from the slowly moving siege tower.
"Adjust the angle, refilling, hurry up..."
"Prepare crossbow arrows! Change single shots! Point me at the opponent's heavy armored soldiers and break their defense line! Immediately..."
"Chirky chirp..."
The baby's arm was shot out and drilled into the heavy armored soldiers at the forefront of the attacking guards. He heard a loud "bang bang" sound, and the huge shield fragments shot everywhere. The usually indestructible giant shield soldiers fell down.
The soldiers behind him also fell down a large group of soldiers. It turned out that they were all shot through by sharp crossbows.
In the guard formation, Tang Xian frowned suddenly.
"Damn it! Where did the Xiaoguo Army's sharp weapons come from?" After gritting his teeth, Tang Xian shouted in a narrow voice: "Transfer the order, speed up the siege tower and ladder...attack!"
"Dongdongdongdong..."
At Tang Xian's order, the fierce drum sound suddenly became excited. Hearing the intense sound of war drums, the roar of the soldiers of the three guards suddenly became rapid, and the local formation immediately accelerated.
The siege tower that was slowly moving forward at the forefront suddenly accelerated its speed!
Wen Ding was also startled by the sudden acceleration of the guards and quickly issued a military order: "Shot immediately! All crossbow arrows are ready to destroy their siege tower for me! Move quickly...
”
The five trenchers in Changyang County are all large multi-trench trenchers, one of which requires more than a hundred people to pull. Just serving the trenchers, more than 600 strong men were recruited. Nearly 700 strong men were recruited.
The strong man divided into five teams and was ready to fight. When the crossbow battalion officer held the high horizontal knife down, he yelled at the same time, and used his own weight to pull the rope in his hand and put the crossbar of the stone thrower close to the ground.
Pull it down hard.
"Wow! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw! Waw!
After five loud noises, the thunder of the huge rocks slashed through the sky. Four larger huge rocks had been thrown up in the air and fell down fiercely towards the siege tower approaching outside the city. This siege tower was used by the guards.
After several days, the four people who worked hard to make were taller than the city wall and very wide. Once they approached the city wall, a straightforward passage would be built between the city wall and outside the city. More importantly, guard the city wall.
The soldiers had no thunder in their hands and they were used up.
"Boom..."
With two loud bangs, two huge rocks fell to the ground and fell into the air, but failed to hit the target.
"Idiot, I'm off the wrong way. Adjust the direction immediately and refille the stones!" The officer shouted immediately.
“Kala…Kala…Kala…Kala…”
Then there were three harsh cracks, and then three huge rocks fell to the ground and hit the target accurately. The siege tower that was hit was instantly smashed to pieces. Although the siege tower was made of hardwood.
But it can't stand the big rocks falling rapidly from high altitude. Following the siege tower, the strong elite soldiers guarded by the siege tower screamed even more. As long as the huge rock hits the target, it will be crowded at the bottom of the siege tower
It is difficult for soldiers to escape the misfortune.
Because this extra-large stone thrower is really not suitable for these new recruits who have been included in the Eighth Mansion. Although there are veterans in this crossbow battalion, it is also a wave in the sea after being distributed, and its roots are not eye-catching. Fortunately, the attack is the
The goal of the city tower is really too big, and as long as the direction is adjusted, it should not be a problem. Although nearly half of the soldiers in the eighth mansion are newly recruited soldiers, after more than ten days of war, they have gradually grown up.
"I hit three cars, and there are still one left that has not been hit! OK! Good! Good job!" Looking at the achievements of the Crossbow Machine Battalion, Wen Ding couldn't help but shouted excitedly. Now the guards are about Xiaoguo Army.
The biggest threat is this siege tower.
"Continue to fill the stones, smash them hard for me! I will also solve the last one."
"Oh shit……"
Outside Changyang County, Tang Xian, who was watching the battle behind, couldn't help but curse angrily.
“Huhhhhhhhhhh…”
The continuous roaring crossed the sky again, and five larger boulders fell from the sky. This time, four boulders hit two of the three siege towers that had been "bombed" before.
At that time, two of them were smashed and cracked from the middle, and eventually turned into a pile of broken wood pieces. There was also a huge rock that hit the last unstripped siege tower. You can't be more generous than the other, and you can't be beaten by him.
One.
Hundreds of elite guards with Jing Chi's upper body struggled out from the collapsed super-large siege tower. But at this time, a dense rain of arrows poured down from the city tower. These were specially designed to reduce armor for the siege.
The soldiers screamed and fell down, and in the end, only dozens of people escaped by chance.
"Huhuhuhu..." Another round of shots.
In the end, these five siege towers built for many days failed to last long. Under the rotation of five extra-large stone throwers, they were drawn into fragments of the ground before they even approached the city wall.
"Damn it! Is this Xiaoguo Army really my nemesis? It's not smooth to attack again and again. There was a thunder that thunder before, but it's fine, but now it's gone, why can't it still work!" Tang Xian roared secretly, panting.
Tang Xian looked up to the sky and breathed a long sigh. The battles he had participated in in the past twenty years of his military service were both defeated and lost, but they had never been so aggrieved and helpless. From the bottom of his heart, a trace suddenly flashed out.
Unspeakable bitterness.
"I can still break the city without the siege tower! If I pass the order, the whole army will attack hard. I will never give up until I take down this city!" Tang Xian shouted sternly.
"Report..."
Just at this moment, a shrill howl suddenly sounded from the back formation. Tang Xian felt a sudden trembling heart, and looked back in shock and saw a fast horse galloping from a distance.
"Gaomi Mansion urgently reported!"
"Gaomian Mansion?"
Tang Xian looked back suddenly, and his eyes suddenly flashed with shock and worry. Where is Gaomi Mansion? It is south of Donglai Mansion, west of Lingzhou Mansion, and north of Jiaodong Mansion. For Tang Xian's guards, it can be said that
Communication between the north and the south provided effective logistical guarantee for the Tang Xian Guards to attack Donglai Prefecture. Once there was a change, the result would be unimaginable. Logically speaking, there were 10,000 guards left there, and if necessary, more than 30,000 trained ones could be recruited at any time.
Young and strong. He is surrounded by his own people. How could there be problems? It shouldn't be.
In less than a moment, the fast horse rushed to Tang Xian and said quickly: "General, Gaomi Mansion urgently reported!"
Tang Xian's face was as gloomy as the night, and he collapsed from his throat and said coldly: "Where is the message?"
The courier of the fast horse hurriedly took out a round bamboo tube from his arms and solemnly handed it to Tang Xian. Tang Xian snatched the letter from the bamboo tube and took out the letter inside. After reading it at a glance, his face was already extremely gloomy.
It became even colder. In this June day, when the temperature was gradually rising, the soldiers around them felt a little cold.
Tang Xian quickly put away the letter and said quickly: "Send the order, withdraw the troops and return to the camp!"
After a moment, the guards on the entire battlefield disappeared completely.
"Retreat? Retreat! Could it be that the war information from Gaomi Mansion has been sent, causing Tang Xian to give up the siege?" Wen Ding, deputy general of the Eighth Mansion, said to himself with a little joy.
…………
Outside Changyang County, the central guard tent was large.
Tang Xian shook off his cloak and sat down with a gloomy face. He shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Come here, immediately send a message to General Xuanwei and General Guidelang to come and discuss military information loudly!"
The guards responded and rushed out of the tent to send orders to various camps.
A moment later, two Generals Xuanwei and seven Generals Guidelang gathered together.
"General, why did you suddenly stop attacking?" General Xuanwei Wu Desheng asked anxiously.
Tang Xian sighed and said, "There is something wrong with Gaomi Mansion!"
"Gaomi Mansion? How could it be? Except to the west, there is our army's territory around. The Qingzhou Mansion Army now does not have any time to provoke us." Wu Desheng said with a frown. Wu Desheng has been in the army for longer than Tang Xian.
He has been in the army for nearly thirty years old and is now nearly fifty years old. He is also a veteran general. I dare not say anything else, but he knows more basic things than anyone else. He has also been Tang Xian's boss, and Tang Xian used to be a boss.
He has received his kindness. Therefore, Wu Desheng is more direct in front of Tang Xian.
Tang Xian said sternly: "It is the Xiaoguo Army, and the Xiaoguo Army of Donglai Prefecture. He used the Beihai Prefecture from the Qingzhou Governor to attack our Gaomi Prefecture. Our soldiers in Gaomi Prefecture are already at a disadvantage. Qingzhou Prefecture
Although he did not attack us on the surface, he did provide Xiaoguo Army with the help he could, which made us miserable. Gaomi Mansion is in danger!"
"What does the general mean?"
Tang Xian smiled bitterly and said, "What do I mean? I am already as big as a fight now. What else can I have? What do you think?"
Wu Desheng said in a deep voice: "Save immediately and don't sit and wait for death. The loss of Gaomi Mansion means that the guards of Donglai Mansion have been pinched to their throats. If the supplies are not in place, they are likely to collapse on the whole line."
Tang Xian nodded, and he also knew that what Wu Desheng said was true. If he wanted to fight the Xiaoguo Army of Donglai Prefecture, then the logistics supply would not be cut off. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"What do General Ling have any other ideas? You might as well say it!" Seeing General Xuanwei Ling He on the side thinking about something, he immediately wanted to speak but stopped and couldn't help but say.
Ling He heard this and said, "General, is it time for us to quickly rush to the Gaomi Mansion to help us? What if the Gaomi Mansion Xiaoguo Army waits for work, then what should we do?"
"This..." Tang Xian was stunned, "What does General Ling mean?"
Ling He continued, "Since this is the case, we will withdraw our troops quickly! Rescue Gaomi Mansion to the south!"
"Isn't this the same as before?" Wu Desheng scratched his head and said.
Ling He smiled and said, "Of course it's different. We have to leave some soldiers in the dark and the army quickly retreated south."
"Come across the world, and accidentally, take advantage of the enemy's extreme slackness and strike back." Tang Xian said slowly, and a divine light flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, as long as the Xiaoguo army is defeated, the Gaomi Mansion will not have such a great impact on us. We can also easily turn our heads and fight back, attack with three sides, so that the Xiaoguo army can't escape." Ling He smiled loudly
said.
