Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 501

"Beat the drum! Siege the city!" Lu Qian shouted loudly.

As soon as the voice fell, I heard the thunder of war drums!Then there was another majestic horn sound, and the battle began at this moment!
"Siege!"

The frontline generals issued military orders.Left, middle and right, the seemingly uniform front army is actually divided into three groups.When the military order was issued, the shield-bearing heavy armor soldiers at the forefront raised their long shields one after another. A team of more than a dozen people surrounded the ladder trucks and struggled forward.

A large number of crossbowmen rushed forward, replacing the comrades under the previous stand, and the long-range strike ability under the city was instantly restored to its original state.For a moment, the arrows were like locusts, and the defenders at the top of the city couldn't raise their heads.

The drums and horns are as famous, and Wang Yan's blood boils.Although he did not belong to the former army, this was the first time he had actually experienced the siege battle of the Liangshan army since he joined the Liangshan army.

Last time, Lu Zhishen only sent someone to support him.

He looked at the top of Zhaozhou City again, and saw that the defenders were all in place, and a large number of armored soldiers were running and gathering with shields and arrows.The Liangshan Army launched an attack on the city, and the Liangshan Cannon began to extend inward.If so, a large number of armored soldiers of the defenders also emerged.

The sound of the drums is getting louder!The sound shakes the heartstrings!
The Liangshan army ahead is already approaching the city!The soldiers raised their shields and pushed the ladder car with all their strength, across the five-foot-wide moat, and went straight to the bottom of the city!In an instant, sharp arrows flew across the city!Wang Yan saw from the back that there were soldiers falling to the ground with arrows. Although the Liangshan army's siege troops were wearing heavy armor and shields to cover them, they still couldn't completely offset the damage. It is a crossbow shot from the top of the city, and its lethality far exceeds that of an arrow.

Fortunately, a ladder car has rushed to the city.

The Liangshan army under the city cheered for a while, and a ladder cart had already hit the city wall.This is called the morale of the Liangshan Army.

As soon as the ladder cart leaned against the city wall, the soldiers below shouted in unison, quickly climbed up the long ladder, and charged upwards!

Wang Yan couldn't help but tighten his heart. During the siege battle, it was at this moment that the casualties were the most!
There are not only bows, crossbows, knives and guns on the top of the city, but also rolling logs and stones, boiling water and golden juice, gray bottles and so on.From the first moment when the ladder car approached the top of the city, the defenders on the city resisted stubbornly with poles and push rods.

The cannonballs flew across the city before, making the golden juice boiling water at the top of the city a thing of the past; but the defense of Zhaozhou City is still not to be underestimated.Wang Yan looked at Liang Shanjun expectantly.If you can climb to the top of the city in one go, you may be able to break through the city of Zhaozhou today!
"Kill..." Xin Xingzong shouted loudly.

He is not the heir of Zhao Liang at both ends of the head rat. The Xin family has been the military gate of Zhao Song for generations, and his father Xin Shuxian is a general of the Western Army. General also.

He will not rebel against anyone in Zhaozhou City.

The siege soldiers swarmed up, but arrows rained down from the top of the city. They beat stones and rolled trees to greet them, and the siege soldiers fell like hailstones.But the Liangshan army under the city did not slow down at all. One battalion was disabled, and the other battalion rushed forward, and the drums were beating urgently.The shouts of killing all over the sky covered the whole Zhaozhou.

Wang Yan's expression showed a touch of relaxation, fighting consumption and fighting spirit. Although the defenders have a favorable terrain, they have been pulled into a relatively disadvantaged battle situation by the Liangshan Army.

Depending on the strength of the Liangshan army and the fighting spirit of the soldiers, such an attack and killing might be able to fight without stopping until night, but can the defenders at the top of the city sustain it?
Although one moment of bravery can be used, one moment is not forever.Wang Yan is very clear about this.Because that was the case with him and his subordinates at the head of the Daming Prefecture.

It lasted for a while, but it couldn't last forever.

The war continues.

Lu Qian was not anxious. Compared with the offensive and defensive battles in the war theater of the Martial Arts Institute, the troubles given to the Liangshan Army by the defenders at the top of the city are much less.

Don't be impatient in this battle of attack. It is common for a fortress to be stormed for several months without breaking it.But once breached, the follow-up response is often overwhelming.

Because the enemy's strength is limited, if you concentrate your forces here, you won't be able to care about other places.This is the reason for pressing the gourd to float the scoop.

Half an hour later, everything was as Lu Qian expected, the defenders at the top of the city had reached their limit.Wang Yan took a deep breath and stared intently at the top of the city.He had a hunch in his heart that at this moment, Zhaozhou City might be doomed.

"Kill—" Yuan Langti faced the steel mill, pushed aside the two stabbing spears, and was the first to jump onto the top of the wall.

After fighting for half an hour, the defenders on the top of the city had reached their limits in terms of mental and physical strength, and the eyes of the sky would not deceive Lu Qian.The Liangshan army under the city was in a hurry to attack and kill, and the Liangshan cannons behind the city were also in a hurry. One after another, the cannon stones crossed the Zhaozhou city wall, and almost smashed the southern army camp of Zhaozhou city to pieces.The second-line reserve army in the oppressed city had to retreat further.

In order to facilitate the deployment of troops, Tong Guan once set up several cable cars inside the city wall, so that reinforcements can be sent to the most urgent places as quickly as possible.But at the beginning of the siege battle, the cannonball was hammered, and the cable car was affected without exception.This is the conclusion drawn from countless offensive and defensive battles in the war room of the Martial Arts Academy.

If you want to destroy the enemy's resistance faster, you must first cut off their reinforcement channels and destroy the cable car, which is a necessary choice.

Just like the game "Fortress Crusade" he played in his previous life, it is not foolproof to build a city wall and tower. Not to mention the destruction of the city defense by catapults and soldiers, just a very common scene, bowing up and down Crossbowmen shoot at each other, and the defender needs the fastest stone ladder if he wants to replenish his troops from time to time.Building the latter also requires stones. Stones are resources and can be exchanged for money to recruit soldiers.In the early stage, money and resources are tight, and even a stone cannot be wasted needlessly. This requires people to choose the best position.

And this is the importance of 'transportation lanes'.

In the same way, destroying the cable car set up by the enemy on the city wall, in Lu Qian's view, is destroying the "transportation channel" of the defenders, which is very convenient.

Without this thing, if the defenders want to strengthen their forces, they can only transfer troops from the bottom of the city and go up the city along the upper and lower passages on the left and right of the tower.Not to mention how much time will be wasted during this process, even this long running for several miles can also waste a lot of energy of the defenders.

And one by one, the cannon stones destroyed the barracks in the south of the city, that is to say, the assembly area of ​​the defenders near the south of the city.In this way, the Zhaozhou defenders could only be arranged in the battle sheds under the city wall. When needed, they would assemble urgently with arrows and crossbows, and then rush to the city head at high speed.

In half an hour, the defenders had been completely suppressed.There were only a few bows and arrows falling from the top of the city, and the morale of the defenders on the top of the city also dropped significantly.In this way, Lu Qian's eyes flashed, and then Yuan Lang personally led a battalion of soldiers to kill towards the top of the city.

Wearing heavy armor, Yuan Lang pointed at the gun with his hand in his hand, ignoring the occasional arrows and crossbows shot from the city.The three layers of armor on his body turned him into a humanoid tank. He didn't need to cover the arrows and crossbows. He just had to lower his head and charge like an angry bull.

If the arrow is not used properly, it will be smashed down with a stone.This move is naturally invincible to ordinary soldiers, but Yuan Lang is extraordinary, he swung the steel with all his strength with his left arm and smashed it upwards.The stone weighing tens of catties was mixed with momentum and was sent flying far away by Yuan Lang's blow!

Looking at the two defenders poking their heads out of the crenel with murderous eyes, they saw several arrows and crossbows coming from the city. The two men were hit in the face by the arrows, and each uttered a scream, and fell inward.

Taking this opportunity, Yuan Lang took a few steps up, stood up and jumped, like a dragonfly touching water, with his toes on the ladder, he turned over the top of the wall neatly.

A long spear pierced straight at him, Yuan Lang swung the gun with his right hand and pushed in quickly, the gun with his left hand hit the defender heavily.

The defender, who was also very strong, felt as if he had been shocked by an electric shock in an instant. A mouthful of blood mixed with shattered internal organs spewed out from his mouth, and then he collapsed on the top of the city like ooze.

"Kill—" Several swords and guns shot at Yuan Lang.

Among them was a military leader holding a long gun. When the body of the gun was shaken, the tip of the gun trembled wildly, with charming eyes.One trick is to call the grass to find the snake, it is very delicate, and it goes straight to Yuan Lang's face.But the latter didn't care about it, and swung the steel to block and flick, and all the stabbing and chopping knives and guns were pushed aside.With another big stride forward, Gang Lao swept across, immediately blowing off several heads.

But before he could catch his breath, two iron bones hit him again. This was Xiandeng's trouble.People are the enemy of the country.Even according to Yuan Lang's martial arts, he can't turn a blind eye.

Before the follow-up soldiers of the new army rushed to the top of the city, he would be constantly besieged on the top of the city.

Xin Xingzong's complexion changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "Quickly deploy troops to support, quickly dispatch troops to support, press them back for me--" He owns the city, and he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under him. Before he arrived, he was killed by the Liangshan bandit army on the top of the city. Does this mean that Xin Xingzong is a day-old idiot?

He yelled loudly, and the defenders kept throwing themselves into the battle of strangulation at the head of the city. If they were gathering dikes to block the water, how thrilling and terrified they would be!
A new sound of drums and horns sounded outside the city, and the follow-up troops came to help.

Wang Yan had been waiting for this order for a long time, and immediately led a thousand of his most elite soldiers to the city.

"Floods" are constantly 'arriving', and the dam temporarily blocked them, but the water level is constantly rising, which makes people wonder whether there will be a moment soon, and it will be out of control...

"Kill, kill with me! Press the Liangshan bandits back—" Xin Xingzong went into battle himself, and he took the lead at this time, so he was naturally desperate.Helpless, once the head of the city is lost and the city is destroyed, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are in the city, it will not help.

Once the city is broken, just like the levee collapses, the flood will be out of control.Just because the 'Military Mind' has also been defeated.

More and more Liangshan troops climbed to the top of the city. Fighting in such a narrow area does not matter skills, but only strength and bravery.

And the Liangshan army with the personal guards as the sharp edge is like a rolling boulder, completely crushing and smashing all obstacles in front of them.

"Enxiang, the city can't hold on anymore. If you don't leave, it will be too late."

Zhao Liangsi was full of disdain for Tong Guan, who had spent so much money and food. More than 2 people only persisted in Zhaozhou for such a short time, but they really burned their hands with a lot of money, throwing money into the water.

If so, when the defenders in the south of the city were under tremendous pressure and were about to collapse, Tong Guan's escape was the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing countless defenders to instantly lose their fighting spirit.

Xin Xingzong let out a long sigh, this was what he was most afraid of.

This Tongguantong Taoist, you say you are greedy for life and afraid of death, why do you want to stay in Zhaozhou?Don't you know how dangerous Zhaozhou City is?
Wouldn't it be better for you to go early?
It's good now, the morale of the army is gone in an instant, and all the soldiers and horses in a city are finished.

Even if Xin Xingzong wanted to lead the army to break through, there was no possibility of it.If so, he drew his sword and slayed himself in the South City Tower, at least leaving a clean name and benefiting his brothers.
