Chapter 463 The fate of the soldiers seeks support
Meng Ruhu slowly raised his right arm, and the shiny armor seemed to be covered with a layer of blood-red brilliance under the bright red morning sun. His single arm caught the eyes of countless coalition soldiers, and he waved forward gently, with a heavy
A voice sounded: "Thunderbolt car-bombardment."
Yes, Thunderbolt Cars - Blast!
Although there are not many, only five, the total number of Thunderbolt vehicles accompanying the coalition forces. The craftsmen accompanying the army in the camp worked non-stop all night last night to reassemble these five small Thunderbolt vehicles before dawn.
It is far worse than the situation during the attack and defense of Beiling City, but the same problem is - the thin and old city defense buildings in Sanshi County cannot be compared with Beiling City at all.
In an instant, the deep and distant horn sounds of the coalition array became louder. The fierce war drums resounded through the sky, almost shattering the eardrums of the soldiers of both armies. In the rhythmic sound of trumpets, sections of wooden-structured equipment
Advancing from the coalition's rear formation to two hundred steps away from the city, suddenly rows of heavy shields were lined up in front of the Pili chariot.
"Damn it, they actually brought this thing with them when they marched?" Yang Yanzhang's expression suddenly changed, and the Thunderbolt Car came out. In a small county like Sanshi County, this was really an exaggeration.
However, the soldiers around him and the veterans of the Muzhou Army on the left and right sides of the city continued to remain calm. They must be nervous in their hearts, but at least no one showed their fear when facing the enemy.
If you lose, you don't lose! The veterans must have experience in this regard.
"put!"
In the coalition formation, following an order from the leading military academy, five Thunderbolt vehicles swung their long arms at the same time, and rocks weighing dozens of kilograms were violently thrown out. The five stone bullets made a sharp whistling sound.
Traveling through the air, constantly doing tumbling and rolling movements, it flew across the sky and crashed towards the head of the Three Stone City with an all-crushing momentum.
"Boom——"
The earliest boulder flew directly over the city wall and hit the city. A house close to the city wall was hit. It was like a matchbox being suppressed by a slap. The house that was hit on the side creaked.
After the sound, it collapsed with a bang.
The rising smoke and dust made Yang Yanzhang's heart tremble, as if he felt the trembling of the house. The next moment the whole house collapsed, and several Han soldiers who were resting in the room crawled out of the collapsed house in embarrassment.
…
"Are you swearing?" Yang Yanzhang relaxed a little when he saw the veterans who had escaped death calling other soldiers to come and help dig out people, while pointing in the direction of the coalition forces outside the city and jumping around, opening and closing their mouths.
Before, he had not thought that the coalition forces would carry something like a Thunderbolt Car when they were in pursuit. Now it seemed that not only the garrison at the top of the city was in danger, but also the rotating reserve troops below the city.
Just now, he was so nervous that he forgot about the reserve army. "Quickly send my military order, all the soldiers gather in the huts under the city!" The houses on the edge of the city must not be occupied.
"Boom boom——"
Two huge stones hit the city wall one after another, creating two large dents in the city wall in an instant. One of the stones hit the top of the city and directly shattered a section of the battlement. Rubbles and broken bricks splashed down from the top of the city.
.The Han army guard hiding under the battlements turned pale, closed his eyes tightly, and continued to lie on the city wall with clenched teeth.
"Crash-" The falling masonry fragments fell on the defender's end, and a larger fragment hit him painfully. But the soldier did not move!
Not long after the next moment, a stone bullet of the same size whizzed past, flew high over the city wall and fell into the city. After a loud noise, it made a big hole in the ground.
Yang Yanzhang only felt the city wall under his feet tremble twice. Two more of the five stones hit, and the other three flew into the city.
A hit rate of 40% is definitely very high for a Pili chariot, but in the current situation, where the distance is only 200 meters and the Han army has not attacked, the efficiency is not surprising.
Stones were fired one after another, and Yang Yanzhang saw with his own eyes that a stone fell on the roof of a house that was originally a military shelter under the city. The house collapsed with a loud bang.
There was also a stone bullet that happened to land in front of an ox cart that was transporting military supplies to the city. The stone bullet rolled with a roar and smashed the old ox like a ripe watermelon, and the flesh and blood exploded in an instant.
The Han soldiers were quite nimble. Before the stone bullets could hit the ground, they rolled out of the car and were hit by the flesh and blood of the old cow.
The bullock cart crashed into pieces before it stopped...
The five Thunderbolt vehicles raged for more than an hour, and the city wall of the southern city of Sanshi County was riddled with holes and devastation. But to be honest, the damage caused to the defenders was extremely limited. Their main role was to improve the enemy's morale.
It suppresses and improves the morale of one's own troops.
Sure enough, under such conditions, the coalition soldiers became excited and excited.
"Oh oh oh -" Under Sanshi City, tens of thousands of allied soldiers cheered in unison. The Zhou soldiers, who had gone into battle with a psychological advantage and a vengeful spirit, at this moment, their morale became even more powerful.
If the Han army is a small country in the north, the embarrassment of the heavenly soldiers under Guangyang City is only temporary. Meng Ruhu not only stroked three locks of his long beard, but Gong Rui was the brother-in-law of a great king after all, so he gained the reputation of our heavenly soldiers for nothing!
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes! It is still an old saying. Gong Rui was in the army with the title of brother-in-law of the Tang Dynasty king, and he was really disliked by a group of generals. Especially when Gong Rui accompanied the army to defeat Jiulian Mountain and led the troops
He helped the Zhongshan Kingdom to suffer defeats in consecutive battles, which made him even more looked down upon by those who were as smart as a tiger.
On the other hand, at the head of Sanshi County, although the morale of all the defenders is not extremely low, they are definitely trembling with fear. Although they are veterans, the soldiers of the Muzhou Army have not been on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, and are at most mid-level and upper-level.
The officer had argued that there had been such a massive siege. Facing such a terrifying and sharp siege weapon as the Thunderbolt Chariot, it was reasonable to be timid.
"Damn it!" Yang Yanzhang patted the dust on his armor, glanced at the half-collapsed tower behind him, and cursed endlessly.
He wants to use his actions to encourage this army. At such a time of panic, the general's calmness and nonchalance can make the soldiers feel at ease. Swearing can also better bring the general and ordinary soldiers closer.
The distance dispels the fear in the hearts of soldiers.
Looking at the defenders on the left and right, they looked pretty bad. Fear appeared directly on the faces of these soldiers, but Yang Yanzhang really couldn't think of any better way to boost his morale at this time. After all, he was facing the coalition forces.
He was now powerless to fight back against the blow from the thunderbolt car.
"Attack the city -" Looking at the smashed Sanshi Nancheng, a cruel sneer appeared on Meng Ruhu's face.
"Yes." A general of the Zhou army beside him immediately accepted the order, then jumped on his horse to the front of the formation, pointed his spear in the sky, "The generals of the former army listened to the order and attacked the city -"
"Yes——" Five thousand Zhongshan troops shouted in unison.
"Forward army - attack -" Fan Chunju, a dignified general of the Zhongshan Kingdom, was only a front-line general under the command of the King of Tang, General Ning Shuo, and he was still happy to do so. If Zhu Biao could see this scene, he would be deeply moved.
I realized the world-wide majesty of the Zhou Dynasty.
The first thousand-man team, the second thousand-man team, General Zhu Xie and Jianzhong Colonel Yuanbo agreed loudly, raised their swords and led them forward. The morale of the two thousand Zhongshan Army infantry was high.
The promise was made with a bang, and the ladder truck was pushed, forming a neat military formation and rushing towards Sanshi County.
"Infantry archers prepare -" Looking at the surging two thousand Zhongshan troops, Yang Yanzhang looked calm and unwavering. He drew out the sword from his waist and raised it above his head, saying loudly.
Amidst the rapid footsteps, five hundred archers holding long bows rushed to stand behind the incomplete battlement. Sword players and sword and shield soldiers raised their shields to guard the side.
At this time, the Han army at the head of the city finally regained some composure. For them, the two thousand enemy troops sweeping in like a tide from the city were far less threatening than the five thunderbolt vehicles that were extremely powerful and lacked in damage.
Some brave soldiers calmed down!
Compared with the irresistible boulders flying around, although the enemy troops under the city are heavy, they are flesh and blood after all and can fight against them. After all, they are veterans who have been in the army for several years and have little battlefield experience.
Ordinary sword fights wouldn't scare them out of their wits. Although the hands holding the bow were trembling and their faces were still pale, it was much better now than when they were full of horror before.
Yang Yanzhang is not too worried, because he knows that it will not take long for these bosses to settle down in the cruel killings. They will feel at ease when they hurt an enemy, and they will be calm when they kill an enemy. The battlefield is the best place to sharpen a soldier.
With a good training ground, these veterans who lack battlefield experience will quickly grow up in life and death and become real elite soldiers!
Many of them will die in battle, but when they come to the battlefield, they will face non-stop killings. One battle, two battles, three battles, and four battles. A true elite, a true veteran, has to pay a lot.
The price is very heavy. Just like the two thousand Bodaoling cavalry directly under Zhu Biao!
This is war, and this is the fate of soldiers!
"kill--"
Amidst the shouts of landslides and tsunamis, two thousand Zhongshan Army infantry surged forward. Five hundred swordsmen were divided into five teams and scattered among the entire front army. They held shields in their hands. When they entered the range of the Han army's bows and arrows,
The shields in their hands will give them the greatest cover. Behind them, 1,500 infantrymen of the Zhongshan Army are either pushing ladder trucks to follow closely, or clenching the bows and arrows in their hands. They are this time
The main force and covering force of the siege.
Sanshi County Chengtou.
"Sir!" A soldier turned to Yang Yanzhang and said, "The front of the Zhongshan bandits has entered within a hundred steps."
Yang Yanzhang seemed to have turned to stone at this moment. He remained motionless, staring closely at the Zhongshan Army moving under the city. The more than a thousand Han troops guarding the city on the left and right did not receive orders from Yang Yanzhang and could only let the Zhongshan Army infantry
Rushing within a hundred steps like a tide. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
