Chapter 1819 The foundation of the country, Yanyun strategy (4)
Luan Tingyu and Bian Xiang were seriously injured one after another, and there were still many rebel soldiers clinging to the ladders trying to climb up the city wall. People gathered like ants, staring at the rain of arrows, which seemed to be everywhere on one side of the city.
There was blood splashing, and the condescending Jin army retreated and still followed Wanyan Deshou's order to smash the rolling logs and rocks, and poured the boiling soup and gold juice over them unscrupulously. The heavy rolling logs and rocks smashed many soldiers below to a bloody pulp, and some people were beaten to death.
The boiling oil poured into his body and his flesh, which was immediately burned, squeaked and fell in despair. Arrows were shot out from the gaps in the wall, and they were also constantly harvesting the rebels who still had the courage to climb up and down the city.
Erlang's life...
Luan Tingyu, who was hit by an arrow and was protected by a group of soldiers holding up their shields, retreated to the rear, and Bian Xiang, who was stood up tremblingly by Chen Guang, both glared angrily at the Yanqing city wall ahead, which had cost the lives of many of his subordinates.
But no matter how angry and angry it is, it seems that it is still difficult to conquer the Ruzhou government office that occupies the northwest gate of Yanjing, the capital of Yanyun, with the power of the Polu and Xiongwu armies.
Brother Xiao Tang is now deploying the strategy of capturing the flag of Yanyun. He is going to use a surprise attack to quickly attack the key passes of the Sixteen Prefectures. The soldiers and horses of the volunteers immediately cut off the territory and military power under the rule of the Jin Kingdom.
It was Xiao Tang's brother and Xiao Jiasui's military advisor who planned to follow Sun Wu's "Surge of Water". As for the disease that drifts rocks, it is strength; as for the disease of birds of prey, as for those who destroy it, it is integrity. Therefore, those who are good at fighting have dangerous strength and integrity.
"Short; as powerful as a crossbow, as fast as a motor" strategy, the soldiers of each department are more active and fight to the death. However, the brothers who are attacking other state capitals still don't know whether the success is successful or when the reinforcements will arrive from which place.
Come to cooperate with the Polu, who have suffered increasingly heavy casualties, and the heroic soldiers of the two armies take down the relatively difficult city wall here!
However, just as the two generals, Bian Xiang and Luan Tingyu, were filled with indignation and unable to do anything, suddenly the leader of the rebel army shouted loudly. When all the soldiers turned their heads to look, they saw the faint sky on the horizon to the west.
There were black lines slowly squirming and meandering, mixed with the beating of horse hooves and the sound of trumpets blaring faintly. There was a military brigade that seemed to have a lot of siege equipment in the team and was heading towards Yanqing City.
When the soldiers and horses marched to the point where the flags in the ranks could be seen, many soldiers of the two rebel armies who were trying their best to attack the city immediately waved their weapons and shouted.
Because the incoming army carried the banner of the Weibian Army, it was indeed the volunteer army led by Sun Li who arrived first to provide support!
When Sun Li and Zhu Tong took the lead to lead a group of sergeants to join him, Sun Li's eyebrows suddenly twitched when he saw Luan Tingyu still had an arrow stuck in his shoulder and half of the arrow tail had been broken off before he had time to cut open the flesh and take out the arrow cluster for treatment.
He frowned and said quickly: "Senior brother, you were hit by an arrow that was embedded in your flesh. Your injuries cannot be underestimated. You still need to receive medical treatment and rest."
Luan Tingyu shook her head when she saw this, and said angrily: "I'm fine, but I regret that I have killed many brothers just to break this bird city!"
Sun Li and Zhu Tong looked at Bian Xiang again, his face turned pale and his injuries were more serious, but he still tried his best to hold himself up. The battle situation was now in a stalemate and there was no time to talk more. Sun Li only wanted to give in for a moment.
Then he said decisively: "According to the previous deployment of Brother Xiao Tang and the military advisor, taking into account the route of the Jinlu's movement and dispatching, and the siege of the city to block reinforcements, the enemy troops on the periphery and scattered troops and horses in the county army stronghold have been cleared first. The troops under my command have
The troops and horses were also equipped with Guanzhi leaders to quickly capture Yanyun's boundary state capital city, stoning cannons and various firearms, so they could attack Yanqing City with all their strength.
Senior brother, brother Bian Xiang, you attacked the city with all your strength and suffered a lot of casualties. Please bring back the troops and horses for a while and replace them with my brothers. If you can break a gap in the city wall first, then several troops and horses will join forces to kill.
We are about to enter, let's see how long the Tartars can hold on to guard this city!"
Although among the leaders present, Bian Xiang, Luan Tingyu, and even Chen Guang's infantry combat and gun skills were not inferior to Sun Li's in terms of individual martial prowess, Sun Li was, after all, a regular soldier.
He was born in Tijia, and when he was stationed in Dengzhou territory, he was famous for being a group of bandits. He was by no means an incompetent person in the ordinary army. In terms of commanding the army to fight the battle, Sun Lizi was also the leader among the leaders.
He immediately got the approval of the generals and personally led groups of frontier soldiers to line up.
Not long after, the military generals at the front, led by their powerful crossbowmen wielding divine arm bows, gave orders loudly. Immediately, there was another rapid and fierce sound of the machine gun snapping, and countless short crossbow arrows tore open the air.
A dense rain of arrows shot out, heading straight towards the Jin army that was defending the city and attacked them!
The long-range ordnance weapons originally stocked in the Song army, such as the Divine Arm Bow, were fired in volley, which immediately had the effect of suppressing the enemy troops at the city head. Sun Li quickly ordered Lifu, a powerful force in the border army, to brave the rain and attack dozens of relatively simple tanks.
The trebuchets were fixed in front of the formation, but they stormed towards a point on the Yanqing city wall and concentrated their bombardment.
The new sling artillery originally made by Hongtianlei Lingzhen was too bulky and inconvenient to move. Moreover, it had to be used intensively in attacking military strategic areas with higher cities and deeper trenches under the rule of the Jin Dynasty. It also came from the time of dispatching the gunners' military movements.
, must also consider that the enemy forces around the march must be wiped out as much as possible. Most of the troops and horses under Sun Li received were single-shot cannons, double-shot cannons, even chariot cannons, etc.
With only one person holding the cannon and four people pulling the rope, the light artillery can be deployed and released more flexibly. Compared with the catapults fired by the defenders in Yanqing City, the power is indeed insufficient. If the stalemate continues for a long time, it may cause violent damage to the city wall.
Before the attack, it would be destroyed by stone bullets projected from the city...
However, although the power and range of light artillery were limited, the destructive power of the weapons released at one point on the city wall was beyond the expectations of the Jin army in the city.
The shell of the thunder weapon, which was wrapped in pig iron, contained gunpowder and had its fuse ignited, was thrown heavily into the air by a catapult and turned into dozens of black spots. Then it fell, concentrated, and quickly fell straight to the west wall of Yanqing City.
After a moment, those cannonballs that had not been shot into the city or on the city walls "Boom!"
"Boom!", "Boom!", "Boom!"... made a series of earth-shattering loud noises. In this era, its explosive power cannot be underestimated. The quite astonishing gunpowder detonated and exploded one after another, even the unruly people above the city wall.
The guards of the Kingdom of Jin, who were picking up their bows and arrows and were looking at the enemy troops below, suddenly felt a violent shaking under their feet. Immediately, five or six more people became unsteady and turned over from the parapet wall and fell down. The city wall was originally strong and thick.
On the top, cracks immediately appeared. Countless bricks and stones that had been compacted were blown into the air and then fell in all directions. Another billowing black smoke suddenly rose, choking the shocked guards above.
Jun Zhi can't open his eyes!
Although the explosive power of the concentrated blast of Zhentian Lei was not enough to completely collapse the entire city wall on the west side, the bricks and stones on the city wall that were suddenly bombarded kept falling, and Zhemo would have to bomb it sooner or later.
A gap was created, and the impact on the morale of the defenders in the city was self-evident. The Jin army on the wall ranged from violent attacks from various tribes, from conspirators to ordinary soldiers, and everyone had a look of fear on their faces.
.
Wanyan Deshou, who was standing at the top of the city supervising the battle, looked not only ferocious and ferocious, but also seemed relatively calm in his brows. At this moment, his expression finally changed. However, just when he was about to give orders in a hurry, dozens of thunder weapons were fired.
Arcs were drawn from the air, and they fell to the bottom of the city wall again and exploded one after another causing deafening loud noises. However, with the large amount of dust flying this time, a corner of the city wall on the west side of Yanqing City finally began to collapse, and there were also various explosions in it.
On the top of the small city wall, the Jin Army guards who could not escape were howling in agony, struggling and twisting their hands and feet in mid-air, mixed with falling rocks and broken bricks, and fell straight into the billowing smoke. One side of the city wall finally collapsed.
Come down, and the gap created by the firearms seems to be enough for the brigade to hold back the rebel soldiers who are storming the city and rush in!
