It takes a long time to organize an attack, and it also takes a lot of time to gather the retreating troops and horses. By the time He Jin adjusted the formation again, the defenders in Nangong had already finished eating in rotation, and had used the big yellow crossbows and
The bed crossbows were all carried on the city wall.
The killings in the Beigong have stopped. The reason for the stop is that He Jin sent an infantry battalion to clean up the military discipline. But the more important reason is that almost all the people who can be killed in the Beigong have been killed. All the white-faced and beardless people
The eunuchs and garrison soldiers were all killed, but only some women survived.
After the battle in the morning, one to two hundred people were killed and wounded in the Nangong side. However, more than a thousand soldiers from the North Palace withdrew later, and the defensive force was more abundant than before. In addition, after witnessing the atrocities committed by the attackers in the North Palace, the defenders
The army's fighting will has become even higher.
But the morale of He Jin's soldiers and horses was greatly boosted after they captured the Beigong. Seeing that the first comrades who rushed into the Beigong were all grabbing their treasures, the others were also very jealous and allowed the soldiers to plunder.
Looting, in the long run, will lead to a loss of military discipline, but in a short period of time, it does a good job of boosting morale.
Seeing that the opponent was about to launch an attack, Chen Cheng used all his energy and asked loudly: "The Queen Mother and the Empress are both in the palace, and the emperor's coffin is also here. You dare to lead troops to attack. Aren't you afraid of being killed?"
Nine tribes?”
He Jin had a bruise on his head. He was knocked to the ground when he was attacked by Chen Cheng, which seemed to have destroyed some of the majestic feeling. His car was parked in the White Tiger Temple in the Beigong, with people in front and behind him.
Riding on thousands of steps, no matter how brave Chen Cheng was, he could not get over the protection of the city wall and human wall.
Hearing the questioning from the other side, He Jin touched the bruise on his head and said, "Ignore him, beat the drum and attack!"
In the North Palace, the bloodstains on the ground and railings were still wet, and more than a dozen huge horns were lined up. Behind each horn stood a big man with big muscles and round waist. After receiving the order, he immediately leaned forward and puffed up his cheeks.
He blew it vigorously. Then the dull horn sound sounded, resounding in the sky over the entire city.
In the tower above the Suzaku Gate, the heavy infantrymen of the infantry battalion held up heavy shields and slowly advanced towards the opposite side. There were marks of sword slashes everywhere on the road, and arrows and crossbow bolts were engulfed in the guardrails and bridge decks. The heavy infantrymen
As you move forward, clear away the corpses blocking the road.
Dozens or hundreds of corpses fell from the complex road, smashed on the bluestone below, and fell to pieces. This horrific sight made the scalps of the people on both sides who were preparing to fight go numb. No one was afraid of bloodshed and fighting.
But the scene in front of them is really beyond the imagination of many people.
Relying on their superior strength, the attacker turned a three-sided attack into a four-sided siege. Opposite each city wall, there was a phalanx of dozens of infantry and archers. Behind the phalanx, there were cavalry and command chariots and bugles.
After the sound was heard, the soldiers came forward again pushing the carts and ladders.
This time, the attackers were more prepared, and many heavy weapons were dragged over. The residences outside Baihumen had been burned down by the defenders with rockets. In the black smoke, twenty crossbows were mounted on chariots.
He was pulled to the open space between the infantry square and the cavalry.
Every crossbow bolt on the bed crossbow and the spear used by ordinary soldiers seemed to be within a hundred steps. As long as they were hit by such weapons, even if they were wearing double armor, there would be absolutely no reason to survive. The defenders would have survived.
With the consciousness of fighting to the death, seeing the bed crossbows lined up, I couldn't help but feel thirsty.
Fortunately, the defenders are not without means of counterattack. As armies that once stood on the same front, most of the equipment on both sides is the same. Shesheng Battalion can drag out the bed crossbow, and Chen Cheng can also get it from the arsenal.
A lot.
There was a sound of machinery in the tower, and a huge, thick and long crossbow bolt shot out, piercing a ladder truck in the distance. The soldiers who were exerting their strength in the ladder truck were strung together by the crossbow bolts, and sawdust flew out.
The soldiers flew around, causing secondary damage in a small space. The soldiers who were lucky enough not to be killed by the crossbow arrows were covered with sawdust, and the blood suddenly stained the surrounding area red.
Screams continued to sound, and the slow-moving ladder trucks and assault trucks were destroyed one after another, and the soldiers pushing the vehicles suffered heavy casualties. The officers of the shooting battalion immediately adjusted the shooting target of the bed crossbow. There was a bang, and twenty thick crossbow arrows were fired.
Flying across the sky, it shot into the towering tower.
The crossbow bolt was so powerful that it sent bricks and stones flying across the city tower. A soldier inside who was loading the crossbow bolt shook his body suddenly and was hit by the crossbow bolt. The armor on his body was torn apart like paper, and the crossbow bolt carried
He flew up into the air and flew a long distance before falling back down.
In the Jiade Hall, Queen He heard a loud noise outside the door. She looked up and saw an iron gun deeply inserted into the masonry. A soldier strung on it had died, and there was still a trace of blood on his face.
With a look of horror.
"Ah!" Queen He couldn't help but scream, her face immediately turned extremely pale.
Not only her, but also the few remaining regular servants inside, as well as the Empress Dowager Dong and the prince and princess, were so frightened that they trembled. Originally, they thought that no matter how fierce the beating outside was, as long as they hid in the Jiade Hall, they would not be able to fight.
Something will happen, but now that the crossbow bolts have been fired here, is there any safe place in this Nangong?
Empress Dowager Dong hugged Liu Xie tightly and complained: "Did Marquis Julu not take the safety of the Ai family and the prince into consideration? Why did he get beaten here?"
Duan Gui, Zhang Gong and others still had a look of fear on their faces, but they immediately winked at each other. Duan Gui took a few steps towards Empress Dowager Dong and whispered: "Empress Dowager, I have an idea...
....”
After hearing this, Queen Mother Dong nodded repeatedly and said: "It's time, just do what you said!"
Duan Gui ran to Queen He again and repeated what he had just said. Queen He immediately said: "Yu has long said that the generals will enter the palace. Marquis Julu had to lead his troops to stop him. Just do it, general."
I will explain it there myself."
Duan Gui was overjoyed and turned around to see Zhao Zhong with a sad face, so he asked, "Did Changqiu think it was inappropriate?"
Zhao Zhong forced a smile on his face and sighed: "The left is dead, the right is dead, it's up to you."
He took a step back, knelt down, put his forehead on the ground, and said: "If things can really work out, please allow the queen to let me go home."
Queen He nodded and said softly: "Dachangqiu has served our mother and son for so many years. There is no merit but hard work. I just want to keep you safe."
Zhao Zhong raised his head and said with a smile and a cry: "Thank you Queen for your kindness."
On the top of the Xuanwu Gate, the heavy infantry of the infantry battalion had already pushed through the center line of the compound road. Chen Cheng raised an arrow and shot it upward. The arrow passed through the gap between the railings and shot through the calf of a heavy infantryman.
The soldier screamed and fell to the ground. The comrades behind him immediately grabbed the armor on his body and dragged him back. At the same time, another heavy infantryman came up with a shield.
Chen Cheng opened his sunset bow and was about to shoot again, when he saw the heavy infantryman who had been added bent down and used a shield to protect his calf. After thinking about it, he still didn't want to use arrows to shoot the enemy's shield. It would be a waste of damage.
Output. The shields used by infantrymen are thick and heavy. Even he has to shoot several of them before they explode.
He shifted his aim, loosened his finger, and the arrow flew out, killing another enemy who was looking out to see the situation. The arrow hit the enemy's forehead, and the man was shocked and died instantly. Chen Cheng opened the bow again, but it did not fire.
, the heavy infantrymen on the complex road became nervous.
On the wall of the North Palace opposite, more than a dozen crossbows were already aimed at him. The officer under unified command gave an order, the machine gun sounded, and ten crossbow arrows roared across the sky, in front of and behind Chen Cheng.
He flew over. Several thick crossbow arrows hit the battlement in front of him and penetrated several inches.
Bricks flew across the sky, and a small piece of debris hit his forehead. Chen Cheng looked at the still shaking crossbow arrow from the corner of his eye, and released his fingers. Amidst the vibration of the bowstring, the arrow flew out like lightning.
, hanging high in the air on the complex road, someone fell down in response.
The bed crossbow is indeed extremely powerful, but at a distance of two hundred steps, not only does the strength of the crossbow arrow weaken a lot, but it also falls very hard. He is also protected by the city wall. If he can be shot like this, it can only be said that it is
The character is too bad.
Like several other city walls, several crossbows were placed on the top of the city here. The soldiers operated and destroyed the attacker's siege equipment one after another. The crossbowmen above and below the city shot at each other, throwing arrows at each other.
The arrows flew horizontally and even collided with each other in the air.
Tremendous shouts of killing rang out from the four directions of the Nangong. The attacking soldiers shouted the slogan "Kill the eunuchs", while the defenders shouted "Defend the Emperor". On the way back, the heavy infantry was already pressing down.
When we arrived at Nangong, we were about to enter into a hand-to-hand fight.
The long compound road was crowded with soldiers who were ready to fight to the death. These soldiers were all very tall and strong. They wore heavy armor and held up thick shields, so that they could block the arrows shot from the Nangong wall. The soldiers at the front
The shield in his hand was densely packed with arrows, making it look like porcupines crowded together.
In the lobby of White Tiger Temple, He Jin knelt on the ground and asked, "How is the battle going?"
The soldiers in the hall came forward and replied: "We are almost rushing forward."
A general smiled and said: "Infantry battalions are best at close combat. As long as they get closer, those rebels will never be able to stop them!"
Another person said: "After all, the bandit leader is born in a mud-legged family. How can he know the secrets of the art of war? Failure to dismantle the method is his way of death!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside, and the screams of hundreds of people could be heard clearly even in the White Tiger Temple.
He Jin's expression remained unchanged and he said, "Go out and see what's going on."
The soldier hurriedly ran out, and after a while he trotted back to the hall, trembling and saying: "The thieves used kerosene to light the complex road, and then used rockets. Many of our soldiers on the complex road have been burned to death and fell to death."
Got it!"
The generals in the hall were in an uproar, and someone exclaimed: "How dare he set fire to Fu Dao? This is a grave crime that will destroy the nine tribes!"
Someone ridiculed: "Could it be that if he didn't set the fire, the nine tribes would not be exterminated?"
He Jin looked at the messy situation in the hall with dissatisfaction, and looked to the side. The guard understood, stood up, and shouted loudly: "Quiet!"
Only then did everyone sit back in their seats, cupping their hands and saying, "I've lost my composure."
He Jin stood up, looked at the fire outside, and said calmly: "We only lost a few hundred people, why are you nervous? Our troops are more than ten times larger than the rebels. Even if we use human lives to pile up, it will still be a loss."
