Therefore, it is a good idea to abandon the towering eastern section of the city wall that connects the two city gates and launch an attack from the west side of the city wall. Even if the western section of the city wall is equally steep and difficult to climb, it can at least prevent the troops ascending the city from being directly hit by arrows from the wild goose pagoda.
s attack.
Although the city is an earthen city, the Wild Goose Pagoda is a stone tower and it is behind the city wall. For a while, artillery really couldn't do anything to it.
Han Qinhu nodded and said: "That said, the east wall is a turning point. Our army from Hedong will launch an attack from the southeast gate of Yanmen. Therefore, the east wall is sandwiched between the north gate and the southeast gate. If
If you can attack the east and the west, if you attack here first, you will definitely make the enemy from the north to the south unable to care about each other."
"Enemy attack!" Just when Yu Xi was about to argue with Han Qinhu, the shouts of the Han army soldiers suddenly came from the front.
I saw the Yanmen Pass gate suddenly opened, and many soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty rushed out of the city gate. In front of them, there were even large rolling stones opening the way.
Han Qinhu and Yu Xi were both shocked. After such a long bombardment, the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Guancheng did not move much. They seemed to just hold their heads and endure the bombardment all day long. Over time, neither of them thought about the Zhou people.
He actually launched an attack at this time.
"Heavy armored man, get on top!" However, being unexpected does not mean that he is completely unprepared.
The heavy armored soldiers of the Han army were originally behind the artillery position, so it was naturally not their turn to attack Guancheng. They were originally asked to stay here just in case, but now they did not expect that it would actually happen.
The boulder pushed down from Guancheng was so fast and fierce that the earth seemed to tremble with the rolling of the stone. The stone rolled down to the foot of the hillside. The earthen fortress built by the Han army did not completely block the stone.
After a brief pause, the stone suddenly flew past the earthen barrier, and was comparable to the Han army's artillery behind the earthen barrier, and fell into the crowd.
Fortunately, the Han army officers and soldiers had already been prepared. Although they were a little embarrassed, not many people were directly hit by stones.
It's just that this is just one stone, and there are two or three more that came up behind. These stones are not as good-tempered as the previous one. One by one, they hit the earth barrier hard, and the earth barrier collapsed, including the ones erected on the ground.
The two artillery pieces on the earthen fort were also overturned. One of them was directly pressed under the stone and rolled around on the ground. If it weren't for the heavy artillery blocking it, the stone would have passed over the earthen fort.
If Baoqi's castration force remains unabated, he will rush directly into the crowd.
The stone that opened the road destroyed all the Han army's barriers at once, which naturally caused the Northern Zhou soldiers to cheer, and they rushed down the hillside arrogantly. They had been bombarded by Han army artillery these days, and they were obviously also
Holding his breath, he was of course happy to see the Han army in a state of embarrassment.
This joy soon turned into high morale. The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty roared towards the Han army, but the Han army quickly responded to their madness. Rows of muskets were raised, on the hillsides on both sides and in the valley.
, Although the Han army's musketeers were not in neat formation in the face of the sudden attack, the opponent's target was so obvious that they did not need to be in tight formation, and they could just fire directly at that side.
Bullets were raining down on the hillside, and the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who rushed at the front quickly changed from running forward at a fast pace to rolling down. Not to mention, the speed down the hillside was much faster.
The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty behind raised their shields one after another. However, under such a dense rain of bullets, the shields were better than nothing. Soon the corpses continued to roll down the hillside. However, the force of these corpses was certainly not as powerful as the stones. They were just piled up on the remaining remains.
in front of the barrier.
However, there were still many soldiers from the Northern Zhou Dynasty who rushed all the way down the hillside. Waiting for them were the heavy-armored soldiers who had already raised their swordsmen and mountain axes, as well as the swordsmen. They never expected that they would be there.
Given the opportunity, they wielded their swords and axes one by one, killing with great joy.
Han Qinhu frowned. The Northern Zhou army came out of the city at this time. Although he was surprised, except for destroying a few artillery pieces of the Han army, it did not seem to cause much damage to the Han army, especially now.
The Han army was busy transferring artillery to the hillsides on both sides. Most of the artillery was not in the valley. What would happen even if the Zhou people rushed down?
Although Han Qinhu was distressed that several of his artillery were hit by stones, firstly, some of the artillery were just knocked to the ground and were not unusable. Secondly, the enemy rushed out like this, no different from living targets. Such a large number of
Killing and injuring the enemy's effective forces does not seem to be a loss-making business.
In just this short time of burning incense, the Zhou people surrendered at least two to three hundred people on this steep slope. If they were hiding in the city, the artillery fire might not be able to kill them like this even if they fired for several hours.
Multiple people.
The people in Zhou finally seemed to realize that something was not right, and turned around one by one and started running back.
But it's too late!
The muskets fired in rows, and even the artillery began to join in the fun. At such a close distance, as long as the cannonballs hit it, flesh and blood will definitely fly!
Even the Han army's heavy armored soldiers and Modao hand-killers became addicted and began to move forward.
"No!" Han Qinhu ordered hurriedly, "Pull back all the people in front!"
The city gate opened again, which seemed to give hope to the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were hurriedly fleeing for their lives, but unfortunately, stones rolled down the hillside immediately!
The Han army was chasing behind them, and the muskets were sending up bullets. In front of them, there were stones thrown by their own people with thunderous force. For a moment, the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty on the hillside were stunned, but at this time they could only cry out to Tiantian.
If you don't respond, the earth and earth will become inoperable.
The stone quickly hit them, running over them and continuing down the mountain!
The soldiers of the Zhou army were shocked, so why not the soldiers of the Han army?
Especially for the heavy armored soldiers and swordsmen, if the enemy comes to their door, of course they have to chop it up like melons and vegetables. Who would have thought that the enemy would be so ruthless and ruthless? They even suspected that this was originally planned by the enemy general.
conspiracy.
It's a good deal to exchange some of your own infantry, possibly even the unreliable family members and Ding Zhuang, for the Han army's artillery, heavy armor and other elites.
The stone rumbled over, and the heavy armored soldiers of the Han Army were almost simultaneously swept under the stone. The Mo Daomen behind were lighter after all, and many simply dropped the heavy Mo Dao and dodged to both sides or simply turned their heads.
After running back to the barrier, I finally escaped disaster.
Seeing the tragic scene in front of him, Han Qinhu was stunned. At least 20 heavy armored soldiers were lost in this moment, not counting Mo Swordsman and other Swordsman and Shield Swordsman.
The Han army's musketeers rushed up and opened fire on the hillside, but the distance was too far and they could only hear the sound.
