It turned out that Niu Gao had been forbearing and not using firearms at the beginning, just for this moment. He knew that if he wanted to break through Guangyuan City, the key was whether the goose chariot could cross the moat, so before the Song army approached the moat, the Song army
Just use ordinary bows and arrows to cover the advance of the army. After all, when they first entered the range of the crossbows, due to the indestructible layer of armor outside the heavy infantry, it was impossible for the enemy to stop the Song army with just bows and arrows. Only the huge stone mulberry wood could deal with it.
The Song army inflicted a fatal blow.
When the Song army reached the moat, Niu Gao violently attacked the enemies on the wall with fireballs or gunpowder-filled crossbows. His purpose was to catch the enemy off guard and cover his soldiers in building the bridge.
When the soldiers at the rear saw that the iron bridge was now towering, their morale was boosted and they shouted in unison, while the war drummers beat the war drums with all their strength.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of drums is loud!
When the soldiers in front heard this wave of drums, which was stronger than the previous wave, they seemed to be filled with strength and tried their best to build the bridge.
On the other hand, the Jiaozhi Army was bombarded by this series of bombings, causing countless casualties and casualties. Moreover, they heard the opponent's war drums getting faster and faster, covering up the war drums on their own side. They couldn't help but feel confused and didn't know what to do.
good.
"General in danger."
"Hurry up and drop the boulders, hurry up and drop the boulders."
The anxious General Li didn't care so much anymore and rushed to the front without thinking about his own life, shouting loudly. But when he saw that the soldiers were panicking, he simply walked to a catapult in person, held a big hammer in both hands and slammed it.
Sound the trigger.
boom!
There was a loud noise.
I saw two or three Song soldiers who were working hard to build a bridge in Hanoi were directly thrown into the water and never stood up again.
The falling of the rolling stone also disturbed the Song soldiers in Hanoi. Seeing that the white smoke on the city wall had begun to dissipate, they couldn't help but speed up again.
Originally, the city wall was filled with white smoke, and the Jiaozhi soldiers didn't even know what was going on below, and they didn't know what to do. Suddenly, they saw General Li stepping forward to meet the enemy in person, and the morale of the soldiers immediately stabilized. They all rushed towards them regardless of their own safety.
At the post, through the thick smoke, the river was densely packed, and everyone was shocked.
General Li had already seen that the bows and arrows had limited damage to the enemy, so he asked his soldiers to use catapults to bombard the enemy with all their strength.
Flying rocks fell, water splashed everywhere, and the Song army was screamed after being hit.
But the Song army by the river was not to be outdone, and relied on the range advantage of the bed crossbow to attack the enemy from a distance. The long rows of arrows ruthlessly killed the enemies on the city wall, covering their soldiers to build bridges. The disadvantage of the bed crossbow was its preparation.
The skill is relatively long, so when facing the golden soldiers, it can exert its maximum lethality only at a specific time and in a specific environment. Generally, it is still abused, but the opponent's catapult also requires a lot of preparation time, and Jiaozhi
Inspired by General Li, the soldiers all fought bravely. One person fell, and another came forward carrying a stone and shot the enemy's chariots with bows and arrows. He also used stones to attack the infantry on the moat.
People kept falling from the city walls, and people kept sinking to the bottom of the river.
The battle became increasingly fierce.
General Li took the risk and personally stepped forward to provide guidance, constantly urging the soldiers to ensure that the Song army could not build the iron bridge properly.
"Battal Commander, the enemy's boulders are too strong. Let's fire rainstorm pear blossom arrows."
A man came to the back of the goose cart and said anxiously to the officer.
The battalion commander said decisively: "No, these rainstorm pear blossom arrows are to protect us from setting up the ladder. They cannot be fired easily. Tell the brothers to quickly build the iron bridge."
Although the instantaneous explosive power of the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Arrow is strong, its ability to sustain a strike is poor. After one shot is fired, it is difficult to load a second round of ammunition, so it cannot be used lightly and must be carried out according to a plan.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, there was a bright light in the sky. General Li raised his eyes and saw more than ten fireballs flying towards him. He was filled with distress in his heart.
It turned out that the second round of riprap trucks from Niugao had already been launched.
Boom boom boom!
It's a pity that the accuracy of this long-range attack is still not enough. Only four fireballs out of more than ten were concentrated at key positions. The rest were either blocked by the city wall or flew over the head and did not hit the opponent's position. However, because
The fireball suddenly flew in, causing the Cochin soldiers on the city wall to dodge in all directions, which also bought a lot of time for the soldiers in Hanoi.
"Let it go, let it go!"
Before the fire disappeared, a new round of crossbows came over again. There were corpses hanging everywhere on the city wall. The scene was very bloody.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Under successive bombardments, the Song army in the city bought a lot of precious time, and the three iron bridges were finally built.
"Ho---ho---!"
The sound of killing shook the sky.
As soon as the bridge was built, the Song army was very excited. Thousands of people pushed the goose carts, and heard the loud bang of metal collision. The three goose carts finally got on the iron plate bridge. The bows and arrows hidden on the goose carts
He shot desperately with his hands and knocked down people, covering the advance of his own infantry.
The bridge has been erected, and General Li is powerless to stop the Song army's advance. Seeing the Song army crossing the river in three groups at the same time, and the dense crowds of people stepping on the iron plates making a clicking sound, it makes people feel frightened. General Li's eyes have already
He was so bloody that when he saw the behemoth approaching, he shouted hysterically: "Destroy that damn giant car quickly."
However, this giant chariot was built by the weapons supervisor after Li Qi took over. It is of excellent quality, and the body is made of iron sheets. This firepower is like scratching an itch, but when the stone hits the goose carriage and falls, it will be smashed.
Many soldiers were injured, but because there was a rebound in the middle, and the Song army was all heavily armored, it could not be fatal.
As we were about to approach the city wall, hundreds of soldiers were already crawling on each goose cart, ready to ride on the ladders.
The three battalion commanders hiding behind the goose cart saw the situation and raised the green flag one after another.
A wooden plank suddenly fell down from the leg of the goose cart, hundreds of arrows revealed his majestic face, and a thick chill enveloped the city wall.
The green flag waved.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Hundreds of arrows suddenly shot out from the goose cart, carrying flaming rockets straight towards the city wall.
These are not dozens, but hundreds, thousands! And they were sent out at the same time.
The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Arrow finally appeared on the battlefield.
Niu Gao was also looking forward to it very much. He almost never put down the telescope. Looking from a distance, it looked like hundreds of live wires were connected to the city wall. The scene was very spectacular.
When the Jiaozhi soldiers saw the dense rockets flying towards them, they were frightened to death. They didn't know where to hide. Almost all of them stood there blankly, waiting to be swallowed up.
"General, be careful."
The guard next to General Li was so frightened that his face turned green. Without any thought, he suddenly threw General Li towards the back.
Boom boom boom boom!
In this round of bombing, only fires were scattered on the city walls, and the explosions were deafening. The ruthless rockets devoured lives one after another.
But I saw that the Jiaozhi soldiers were falling in pieces, and the heavy rain pear blossom arrows used kerosene arrows, smoke arrows, and explosive arrows, and the proportions were carefully studied.
"Ah---ah---!"
In the white smoke, only a dozen burning men were seen running wildly on the city wall. In the end, they chose to jump off the city wall.
Ta-ta-ta!
Taking advantage of the chaos in the enemy's camp, the engineers on the goose cart began to build boundary ladders. Each goose cart was equipped with three ladders. Because the goose cart itself was almost flush with the city wall, the ladders were almost tilted at thirty degrees.
about.
In a short time, the nine-way ladder was built.
"Kill!"
The Song army began to climb along the ladder towards the city wall.
There are two platforms on both sides of the ladder, with fifty archers standing on each side. They continuously release arrows to cover the advancement of the soldiers on the ladder.
At this time, General Li had already pushed away the body on his body and stood up. Looking at the densely packed figures on the ladder, he felt his scalp was numb, but he still calmly issued the order, saying: "When the enemy is approaching, it is useless to shoot arrows. They are all useless."
Stoned."
Because the Song army was originally heavy infantry, and they were crawling, almost all of your arrows would be blocked by their armor, so it was of no use. They could only be beaten to death with rocks or knocked down.
General Li can still keep his head clear in this life-and-death situation. This is evident in his ability.
Due to the round of bombing just now, most of the soldiers at the front were already dead, and almost all the people who came to replace them were civilians. Although their skills were not good, they could still throw stones.
He raised large and small stones and threw them at the Song army on the ladder.
The large and small rocks hit the Song army on the ladder like raindrops. The soldiers of the Song army lay on the ladder with nowhere to hide. They could only be smashed alive, with their heads bruised and bleeding, or they were knocked off the ladder.
The archers on both sides of the ladder saw this and tried their best to kill the enemies who were about to throw stones. Every soldier who climbed up the ladder could be said to have given his life to them.
And they are closest to the city wall and can shoot enemies very accurately.
Now that the goose cart no longer needs to be pushed forward, the archers climbed onto the goose cart to find their seats and shot the enemies on the wall like crazy.
On the city wall, because the people had no armor, it was difficult for those who were hit by arrows to get up and fight again, and the losses were huge.
The war has reached a fever pitch, it depends on who can withstand the situation.
General Li saw that his side had been gradually suppressed by the opponent's firepower, and that the opponent had arranged all its main forces to the north. He immediately ordered people to mobilize people from other city gates. On the other hand, he even sent his own soldiers.
, it is bound to block the enemy.
The Song army also went forward and climbed over the corpse of his brother. Someone jumped on the city wall on each of the nine ladders, drew his sword and fought hand to hand with the enemy.
Unfortunately, under the command of General Li, several fierce attacks by the Song army were blocked.
"This General Li really has some skills."
Niu Gao put down his clairvoyance and couldn't help but sigh.
Wei Ping on the side stretched out his hand and said: "General, can you show it to me?"
On the march, Wei Ping had already seen the magic of clairvoyance.
Niu Gao handed it over, and Wei Ping took it and took a look. Seeing that the soldiers on his side were still unable to take a step beyond the thunder, he was extremely anxious. It was not an option to continue fighting like this! Suddenly there was an ouch.
Niu Gao asked hurriedly: "What happened?"
Wei Ping said: "Are the enemy's reinforcements coming?"
Niu Gao grabbed the clairvoyance with one hand, looked up, and saw many more soldiers on the city wall, and suddenly burst into laughter.
