Chapter 1662 Avoiding the virtual is real, feigning the waterway
Until a blurry black shadow appeared on the Wei River, the soldiers stationed at the east gate of Daming Mansion vaguely saw a fleet approaching at speed, and they immediately shouted warnings and ran to tell each other.
Until then, several huge fleets, which were as big as floating fortresses on the river, led a large fleet and took advantage of the water flow of the Wei River near Daming Mansion to get closer to the city gate. On top of a large ship, it was Ruan Xiao
Qi hugged his arms and looked coldly at the city defenders who were densely packed on the tower in the distance like a swarm of ants. He suddenly grinned and laughed loudly and cursed: "Zhi Niang thief! Although it is just a feint attack, we are waiting for this big battle.
After waiting for three or two days, I feel like I can't even sleep well! At least I need to get angry and involve those birds in the city. Zhang Rong, teach the brothers to mount the sling cannon and blast their motherfuckers first!"
Compared with Ruan Xiaoqi who is eager to try, Zhang Rong has been leading the army for a long time as a commander of the navy. Compared with the previous behavior of being a little Yama in the water, he seems much calmer. Not long ago, he crossed the Yellow River north.
During the war, Jia Hu, who was also his childhood acquaintance, was killed in the battle. Zhang Rong still gritted his teeth with hatred when he thought about it, and immediately passed on the order. Before long, the slingshots on several large ships of the navy were first thrown out.
Pieces of flying stones were blown up one after another with a shrill sound of wind, and the sound was terrifying.
It seemed that a violent attack like a storm was about to start first. The trebuchet threw stone bullets weighing dozens or hundreds of kilograms and hit the head of the east gate of Daming Mansion.
There was a roar, and then thick clouds of soot rolled up. Of course, some unlucky Jurchens and Han soldiers watched the boulder suddenly fall, spinning violently and smashing down, but they were unable to dodge. When it hit the tower with a bang, they were immediately
There were also seven or eight people who were knocked down by the boulders that rolled forward with the momentum, and turned into pools of flesh and blood...
However, although the slingshots loaded on the several naval forces passing by the Wei River at the East Gate of Daming Mansion could reach the range of bombarding the city gate, they were repaired by the river here, but they were still unable to bombard the city wall of this strategic place with holes.
. If we really want to try to attack the city, we can't just rely on the trebuchet offensive of the navy. When many sergeants gathered on the city gate tower and there were generals looking out from the top of the city, we could quickly
I saw many more horse and infantry troops gathering along the upper and lower reaches of the Wei River towards the city gate. However, I saw that there were over ten thousand troops and horses, with spears and halberds like a forest, and swords like a sea, as well as the array of naval ships gathered on the Wei River.
It was densely packed and boundless, and it seemed that there was a killing momentum in front of it.
Now that the righteous cavalry and infantry troops were approaching the city gate, they estimated the distance, and soon they were within the range of the crossbows of the defending soldiers and horses. Among the Jurchens and Han people on the upper floor of the city gate, the generals of the various departments were also anxious.
He ordered his archers to form a formation and go straight to the siege enemy troops gathered at the bottom of the city. The generals would pass by in rows. As for the defensive equipment such as gold juice and falling rocks, they were already well prepared, waiting for the enemy troops to come forward.
They came to storm the city gate and tried to climb over the tall city wall. Under the east gate of Daming Mansion, among the rebel troops and horses gathered by the Weishui River, they also followed the orders of the generals and commanders, and the crossbowmen in the front row raised their arms.
The god's arm bow, the rows of powerful crossbows made a squeaking sound, and while they were preparing to launch a violent wind and rain of crossbow arrows at the defenders at the head of the city, they were like flying ladders.
, the siege equipment such as the Xuan Chao chariot were also pushed towards the city gate by the sergeants of the various teams. With such momentum, it really seemed that they were going to launch a fierce attack on the east gate of Daming Mansion...
However, the war at the east gate started. Not long after, the Shunzu Gate in the south of Ji Daming Mansion was protected from the wind. The third gate of Zhanyi was close to the Zhang River and led to the waters with a dark ditch under the gate. There was also a fleet of boats heading straight towards the dark ditch.
Sailing to the water gate, this wave of water squadrons included many good players who were drawn from the Sanruan Navy. In addition, some of the boatmen recruited by Li Bao, who personally led it, were mostly from the areas around Dahu and Dawa in Liangshanbo on Jingdong Road.
Fishermen are all people who have a deep understanding of water nature.
Each ship swam quickly and drove forward. Some ships were also equipped with thunderbolts and other firearms that could cause explosions. Many of the powerful brothers in the water squad were also armed with heavy axes and machetes.
The weapon was used as a gesture to cut off the fence leather rope blocking the water gate ditch. And Li Bao also knew very well that Brother Xiao Tang made the deployment according to his instructions. Although it was a feint attack, enough force must be invested to pose a threat to the enemy forces in the city.
.....
Therefore, Li Bao's target was still the water gate leading into the city, which was getting closer and closer. However, when the fleet he led was no more than seventy or eighty steps away from the target, the people above the city gate could only hear "
There was a bang from above, and soon there were loud shouts from all directions, which only echoed fiercely at this water gate.
Sure enough! The Tatars in the city knew the secret ditch here was a dangerous place, and of course they had already arranged heavy troops to guard it! Just when Li Bao thought in his mind, the troops on three sides above the water gate tower suddenly stood up, and waited until Li Baofang raised his voice.
While ordering the surrounding rebel water squadrons to cover the city, crossbows, hard bows, and bamboo arrows were all shot down from the city like a storm!
The fierce sound of the violent attack of the hard crossbow resounded through the sky in an instant. Although Li Bao had been prepared, some of the sailor soldiers on the surrounding ships who were caught off guard were also a little slow in their movements. They were immediately pierced by the crossbows that shot down from the sky, and they were killed.
Lying on the boat, or falling into the water, it also caused bursts of blood on the water. And more soldiers had already put up shields beside them to resist the rain of locust arrows that were still coming fiercely. Many ships were on top of the ship.
The tough and elastic cooked cowhide hung on the head and side supports also played a protective role, making it difficult for missiles to penetrate. It had also been soaked with water before, in order to prevent the defenders on the water gate from condescendingly using it as a kind of fire starter.
It dealt a more severe blow to the warship.
The swishing sound of arrows from the crossbow flew through the air beside Li Bao. Many of them shot straight into the water, causing splashes, and some of them bounced and fell on the cooked cowhide supported by the supports.
, only a few of them shot through the tough cowhide with great force, and they barely passed through the tip of the arrow cluster, and had already caused damage to Shui Ban Yongjian who was hiding below.
However, although Li Bao had already made preparations for the city's soldiers and horses to set up a heavy guard here, Li Bao heard the arrow clusters falling from his head hitting the shield he had just raised in his hand.
The muffled sound of the snatch was extremely exciting. The intense vibration also made Li Baodun feel numb in the tiger's mouth. Not only did his arms tremble and become more and more numb, but his ears were filled with the rapid whistling of arrows, and the arrow clusters hit the rattan one after another.
The sound from above made Li Bao's head buzz.
Since it was also used as a feint attack to lure the enemy and attract the defenders in the city, through previous deployment, we tried our best to minimize the casualties suffered by Shuiban Yongjian who attacked the water gate.
Li Bao couldn't help but feel sexual.
When he got angry, he clenched his teeth into a mouth full of iron teeth!
Straight mother-in-law! You still have to withstand the arrows shot by the birds, and continue to attack the water gate, the dog Tatars, and the traitorous birds! At the moment, we just let you guys run rampant for a while to gain access to the defenders.
The more the better, until the main force of Qitu Daming Mansion is about to enter the city, then we will have to make a clear calculation of this account including the capital and profits!
