Chapter 459: The Red Flag Raised on the Head of Guancheng
For siege warfare, there is naturally nothing more powerful than large ordnance such as rams and wells. However, rams are not omnipotent.
If you want to push the heavy, slow-moving rush car to the front of Changping Fortress, you not only need to suppress the counterattack on the wall, but also need good and flat passages.
Fortunately, the Zhongshan Army never thought of fighting a defensive battle south of Changping Fortress. The ground below Guancheng had no moats, no moats, and no rugged ground.
Everything is like a single-door battlefield specially prepared for large siege equipment.
Therefore, Zhu Biaojun arrived in the morning, and twenty assembled behemoths were put to use in the afternoon!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
The desolate horn sound.
"Dong dong dong... dong dong..."
The sound of powerful war drums.
In a small open space in Sainan, Changping, four to five hundred Han troops marched to the beat of drums, shouting and shouting at each other——
“Hoo…hoho…”
"Yohe...Yohe..."
“Hoo…hoho…”
The sound was like thunder and the force was like splitting a mountain. But the surging fighting spirit and morale of these Han soldiers who pushed and pulled the equipment were much stronger than those of the Zhongshan Army defenders on the fortress.
And unlike the previous siege battles in the Northern Han Dynasty, where all the equipment was pushed and pulled by manpower, in this battle, Zhu Biao specially placed two bullocks covered with special iron armor in front of the twenty siege equipment.
In order to prevent the damage caused by crossbows, Zhu Biao, the leader of the bullocks, also ordered people to cover the bullocks. They used thigh-thick wooden pillars to be embedded in the rams and wells, and heavy shields were hung in front of them.
The bullocks were captured, and the soldiers who controlled the bullocks were also protected beside the bullocks. Under human control, the two bullocks were pulled forward with all their strength, saving a lot of manpower!
Twenty rams, behind the well, were the siege soldiers in teams. Accompanied by the sound of war drums, they formed an iron stream that could not be seen to the end. They walked in neat steps, one step at a time, one step at a time.
The sky was like a tidal wave.
The sound shook the sky, and the force covered the earth! Although the Han army was small in number, it was powerful and powerful, and there was no sign of being discouraged and fearful of possible defeats and casualties.
Rushing the car, Jinglan moved step by step closer to Guancheng.
On the Changping Seiguan City, Luo Yunzhuo took a deep breath, his eyes solidified, and carefully watched the slowly creeping siege array.
"Drum!" A calm tone came out of his mouth, and his calm face made the messenger behind him, who was frightened by the intimidation of the Han army, feel at ease.
"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..."
The sound of drums on the city also sounded, and large groups of soldiers suddenly poured out of the Tibetan soldier caves on both sides. The Zhongshan soldiers who were taking their positions rarely glanced at the Han army they were about to face, but they all acted like one of them.
stay.
The vigorous sound of war drums echoed in the ears, and the military discipline and law that penetrated into the bones made the five or six hundred people of the Zhongshan Army come back to their senses immediately after being stunned, and immediately everyone was covered with the wall.
Luo Yunzhuo stood firm with his hands on the city battlements. Behind him were more than a dozen middle and lower-level officers, and everyone surrounded him like stars over the moon! When the enemy soldiers were pressing down on the situation, the only one they could rely on was this man who was over fifty years old and had gray beard.
veteran.
"Rush the car, Jinglan!" Under the seemingly calm appearance, a hint of coldness passed through Luo Yunzhuo's heart. The left hand holding the sword hilt had veins popping out, like tangled branches. But Luo Yunzhuo's face remained as serious as ever.
Still water, calm and without waves.
Behind him, the hissing sound of breathing could be clearly heard. Except for a few of these people, the remaining military commanders, military commanders, and middle- and upper-level officers such as a captain were all old men who had been in the army for many years.
Of course, we know how powerful the rushing car and Jinglan are to Changping Sainan City.
If there are not enough troops, then both sides will basically be fighting for their lives in a relatively equal situation. With only two thousand troops in Changping Seri, how can they withstand the Han army's two-sided attack? For a while, whispers
The sound is endless.
Arrows rained down from the top of the city. One after another, the feathered arrows were shot towards the shield. In fact, the feathered arrows were looking at the bullock behind the shield.
The Han army's infantry archers and crossbowmen were also trying their best to fire arrows at the top of the city. Changping fortress, which was attacked on both sides, could not go all out to deal with Zhu Biao. At least their long-range strike force needed to be deployed on both sides.
Therefore, even though many armored bullocks were killed by feather arrows, and twenty of them rushed the chariot, seventeen of them arrived at the wall of Jinglan.
"Kill——!!!" Thousands of people shouted, and fifty people stood in one group to charge the car. Behind the well, hundreds of sharp arrows continued to fly up from the bottom of the city!
In the rear formation, Zhu Biao had only more than a hundred soldiers left under his banner, and the rest were all devoted to the first siege battle.
The vigorous and rhythmic sound of the war drums stopped, and a chilling atmosphere suddenly rose in the entire battle formation. Then the war drums sounded again, changing from heavy and rhythmic before to suddenly becoming exciting and exciting. At the same time,
, the low and desolate horn sound suddenly became louder.
As soon as the sound of the war drums changed, the siege troops who were waiting in full formation immediately began to board the rams and jinglans. At the same time, seventeen rams and jinglans also launched the final attack on the wall little by little. The distance of ten feet was shortening rapidly!
Outside the wall in the north of Changping Fortress.
Huangfu Jian looked at the steep and tall pass wall with a serious expression and an uncontrollable smile. Such a majestic pass will belong to the Han family.
As for the two or three thousand soldiers, they still have to endure a double attack. If you break this barrier... the one who will make a great contribution is today!
He glanced at Li Panlong, who nodded heavily. He knew what the old general meant.
"Bang the drum, attack!" Li Panlong shouted the order.
Changping Senan.
Amid deafening cheers, seventeen men rushed the chariot, and Jinglan finally reached the gate. The solid walls of the machinery provided perfect protection for the Han soldiers in the chariot. Although the Zhongshan Army on Guancheng was raining down arrows, they were not able to do so at all.
Unable to stop the charge, the well was blocked. Under tight protection, the siege troops suffered almost no casualties.
"Keng clang clang!"
With a clear crash, a bridge plank was put up on the top of the city. At the same time, the Han army soldiers wearing two layers of heavy armor instantly poured out of the car. Under the weight of more than a thousand kilograms, the Zhongshan Army was basically closed.
It was impossible to move the bridge planks away from the battlements.
"Kill——!" Luo Yunzhuo on the wall raised his sword and shouted loudly. With his loud shout, nearly a thousand Zhongshan troops on the wall also shouted loudly at the same time, raised their swords and guns and charged forward.
At the axle board, Luo Yunzhuo still had a reserve army of 500 people in his hands. He placed the other 500 people in the north city. The reserve army was all in the Tibetan Army Cave and could appear on the wall at any time.
With top-notch strength, Luo Yunzhuo, Fan Chunju, and Zuo Geche are both generals left over from the last Hu-Han war, but their status in the Zhongshan Army is very different. It's not that Luo Yunzhuo can't fight and dare not fight, but because of the Zhongshan Army
The balance of the various departments and the energy of the Luo family are all used on Luo Longguang, who is the direct descendant.
Yes, they are a family. Luo Yunzhuo and Luo Longguang come from the same Luo family.
"Kill! Kill kill kill -!" Luo Yunzhuo waved his sword and chopped down each Han army, roaring like a trapped animal at the end of the road. He knew in his heart that unless God protected him, this battle would be the last of his life.
Fight!
So he smiled sadly and put all the chores aside.
"Luo Yunzhuo, how dare you come to fight!" At the moment when Luo Yunzhuo showed his power, Gao Xie also followed the car and climbed onto the wall. He slashed with the big knife in his hand, bringing up streaks of blood mist.
Fifty lashes did not break his spine. With Zhu Biao's elixir, Gao Xie climbed into the city wearing armor two days later, although he was still far from recovered.
"Damn it!" Luo Yunzhuo cursed secretly in his heart. He did not expect that a brave general from the Han army would come to the pass so soon. Turning around, he saw Gao Xie waving his sword, and in just this moment, he had cleared the enemy behind him.
All the Zhongshan troops within five steps of the bridge, and more than a dozen Han troops behind him, had already stepped onto the wall to form a small battle formation. And in the rush car behind, there were also Han soldiers
are constantly pouring out.
"Young man, accept your fate!" Luo Yunzhuo snorted disdainfully, but he did not dare to neglect, and blocked him with a knife.
"Ah ah ah -" Not far away, there was another burst of screams at this time, but it was another Yu Wen who rushed into the car and suddenly came up to kill him.
Then, Chu Jian and Shi Tianba rushed to the top of the city with their men. Their different clothes quickly attracted the attention of the experts from the Zhongshan Army.
Finally, Zhu Biao went into battle personally and opened up a great situation on Guanqiang.
"Go to hell!" Zhu Biao shook his spear, and the sharp blade showed bright and dazzling light in the sun. As he waved his hands, it instantly turned into a cold light that killed people.
The tip of the spear was like a flying dragonfly. From time to time it landed on the budding little lotus, followed by splashes of bright blood.
One man shot with a single gun, and in a blink of an eye, he cleared away the dozen or twenty Zhongshan soldiers gathered at the entrance of a city battlement. He glanced at the defenders who were swarming again, and looked at the dozens of Zhongshan soldiers who were surrounding them.
The soldiers were all frightened.
"Kill - kill kill -"
Yu Wen held a long sword and slashed horizontally and vertically. The two Zhongshan soldiers were instantly cut into four pieces. Then the blade turned around and another "click" sound was heard, and a Zhongshan Army flag was planted from the wall of Changping Pass.
Fall down.
The two soldiers who were following him jumped up to the top of the city and thrust the big flag rolled up in their hands onto the top of the city. The crimson flag instantly stretched out in the wind, showing the majesty of the Chinese character "Han".
Shining everywhere!
A Du Bo in Guanxia was so excited that he shouted to his soldiers: "Look, look, our army's flag! Our flag has been put up!"
"Hahaha..." Another member of the army, Du Bo, also burst into laughter. "Why should we be afraid of the Zhongshan Army and Luo Yunzhuo, local chickens and dogs? Changping Fortress is already in our hands!"
Both of them were cheering up their soldiers. Because the fighting on the city top was still fierce. A beautiful start, no matter how beautiful it was, was just the beginning and not the result.
The soldiers from both capitals howled wildly, and their morale reached a new level. The two uncles pointed at each other and showed smiles, that's what it is! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
