Chapter 492: The First Battle of Western Liaoning and the Active Defeat of the Barbarians
Liaoxi
Today the wind is blowing high and the sky is full of yellow sand.
The Han army lined up and assumed the posture of attacking the city.
The black and red Han army formations stretched like brocade on the yellow sand, covering the sky and the earth, boundless.
The huge ladder that was as high as the city wall was slowly pushed forward, and the ballistae and crossbows at the top of the ladder began to shoot sporadic arrows, constantly bursting out clouds of blood among the barbarians and Taixi people at the top of the city.
In the sky, the high-altitude birds belonging to the Han army began to flap their wings and fly high into the sky.
In the gate building of Liaoxi City, Luo Teli was arguing loudly with Xiaolun Gongbu.
"The Han army is so powerful that it will die if it does not retreat. Western Liaoning must be abandoned."
"We in Taixi also have flying bird ballistae to assist us. We don't need to be afraid of the Han army. We also have a strong city that the Han army cannot attack. Why are you so afraid of fighting?"
"Of course I am trying not to start a war with the Han army. The Han army is a powerful army that has fought hundreds of battles. The only way to get here is to fight head-on. If we block here, we will only be defeated."
"Afraid of the enemy and timid to fight, when did your clan become such a waste."
With such a sound, the barbarian elder Dalun Chengshan stopped Xiaolun Gongbu.
"Stop talking, it won't weaken the reputation of our warriors and make you underestimate the momentum of our army."
Xiaolu Gonbo glanced at Luo Teli bitterly and backed away.
Joseph, the commander-in-chief of the Thai-Western Army who retreated to western Liaoning, asked the Thai-Western general Schloter who was on duty in western Liaoning.
"The birds of our army may take off, and the ballistae may attack the city? This Han army is difficult to deal with. If they are not fully prepared, I am afraid they will be knocked down in one fell swoop."
Guardsman Schloter's face was full of disdain: "General, don't be afraid of battle. The strong city in western Liaoning can only be broken by tens of thousands of Han troops with powerful artillery. Just wait and see how the men perform."
The next moment, following the movements of the Han army, the Liaoxi people's birds began to fly into the sky, and the ballistae at the top of the city began to roar.
Casualties began to appear in the Han army's formation. Soldiers holding shields kept falling after being hit by arrows. The two armies staggered, and the attack and defense officially began.
At the Han army's camp, Dong Ling pointed to the defense map and said: "The city in western Liaoning is huge, and the city walls guarded by barbarians are concentrated here and here. This is also a place without crossbows and crossbows. If we attack here directly, we will have 70%
It’s possible to break the city.”
Su Lu looked at the defense map and suddenly asked: "Which barbarian general is guarding here?"
Dong Ling whispered a few words to the scout next to him, and then said: "It's Yesu Buze who is under Xiaolun Gongbo. Xiaolun Gongbo is the young leader of the barbarian tribe and is difficult to deal with."
Su Lu's eyes lit up and he gave the order: "Send orders to Feiniao Camp to storm this section of the city wall. The infantry will build city ladders and prepare to go up to the city."
Qian Buzhou was a little confused: "Commander Commander, although Su Buze is not strong, it is not easy to break through the city wall he is guarding with the cooperation of the Taixi people and the ballistae. It is the first time to attack the city."
Just prepare to destroy the city, will you..."
Su Lu waved his hand: "Okay, prepare to break the city. Yesu Buze has fought with me countless times. The other barbarian generals have fewer and fewer soldiers and horses, but he only has more and more. This is not impossible.
Reason."
"Today we broke through the city in one fell swoop and captured Western Liaoning."
"All generals listen to the order and attack the city with all their strength today. We vow not to return until Liaoxi is breached."
The generals in the tent responded loudly.
Su Lu came out of the camp, looked at the military formations that had begun to engage in battle, called up battle cards, soldier cards, and military formation cards, and added them all to the attacking army.
In the sky, Cao Rui, who was circling with a flying bird, suddenly shook his body, and his eyes suddenly became brighter when he looked at the city.
The feeling I had when I conquered Xianyang came back. The flying birds were like arms and I could control the city below. I could attack wherever I pointed.
"Cao Rui, we have military orders to attack the west section of the city wall."
The deputy lieutenant in charge of observation reminded Cao Rui.
Cao Rui glanced across the formation and saw the messengers waving the flags. After confirming the military order, he turned the bird's direction and began to swoop towards the city. At the same time, the crossbows fired in unison, covering the city.
On the ladder, Cao listened to the report from his subordinates and also waved the thick crossbow in his hand.
"Brothers, prepare for the school shooting and kill these bastards. The commander-in-chief has said that there will be a heavy reward for breaking the city."
The crossbows and crossbows were pushed and turned around, facing the section of the city wall where the barbarians were guarding. All kinds of crossbow arrows swarmed towards the west side of the city wall.
In the blink of an eye, the barbarian soldiers at the top of the city died one after another.
The city defender Ye Subuze was under the battlements, cursing.
"Fool, hide under his mother's shield and stop running around."
"Trash, you can outrun a crossbow."
"Here, here."
Seeing the barbarian soldiers fall one by one, Ye Subuze almost went crazy. This is the family fortune that he had worked so hard to collect, and it was all revealed here.
His eyes glanced at Liwut who was hiding under the city, and his face turned ugly. This grandson would know how to protect himself wisely and would not go to the city if he was beaten to death. One of his sons was not killed.
No, I can't defend it anymore. This city can't be defended at all. Su Lu's army has always been invincible. Even a big city like Xianyang can be conquered at the drop of a hat. If I can't stand it, I will definitely not be able to protect my family fortune.
"Wow"
A thick arrow shaft pierced the city wall, flying a piece of city bricks and hitting Yesu Buze on the head.
Yesu Buze felt a chill in his heart. The Han army used the ballistae. This was a powerful weapon against flying birds. Although his son could fight, compared with this thing, he would simply die.
"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw"
Yesubuze roared at the barbarians beside him and headed towards the city first.
If you don't retreat, your sons will really be gone.
As soon as Yesu Buze retreated, more barbarian soldiers began to retreat toward the city, causing a chain reaction, and more barbarian soldiers began to retreat toward Chengxia.
In the city gate building, Luo Teli looked annoyed and pointed at the nose of the small wheel Gonpo.
"This is how you cooperate with us."
The barbarian elder Da Lun Chengshan waved his arm and ordered his barbarian generals.
"Take your men and go up."
Several barbarian generals left the city gate building and ran to find their barbarian soldiers.
Xiaolun Gongbu glanced at Dalun Chengshan, turned around and left the city gate building. Yesu Buze was like a crow's mouth. He wanted to retreat. He must have known that he couldn't hold on anymore. Why was he still hanging around with these fools?
, the whole army must retreat safely.
The voices of Joseph and Schloter sounded behind him.
"Don't worry, Elder Da Lun, we have already sent out a large army to get the great killing weapon of our Taixi Empire. When our clan's great killing weapon arrives, we will kill the Han army like a chicken."
Xiaolun Gongbu sneered in his heart, it depends on when your big killer will come. If it comes too late, it might not even be able to enter Jiameng Pass.
Before the small round of gongbu went down to the city, they saw that the Han army had climbed up the city wall. In the curtain of raining arrows, the barbarians and the Taixi infantry were like sticks that were chopped down after autumn.
Fell down.
The city is broken!
The small wheel of Gonpo turned around and ran away quickly, scolding Yesubeze and Liwute.
"Let's go to the west city. If we are late, things will change."
Glancing at the top of the city, Xiaolun Gongbu felt proud, "Damn it, I won't play with you anymore."
