Chapter 395: Stunned
At the city and under the city, war drums were beating and the trumpet was blowing at the same time, Feng Lun couldn't help but look up at the east. Because it was at this moment that the sun jumped out of the horizon. Although there was no temperature, it still made him feel his whole body warm up suddenly.
The battle begins with the city wall.
Guancheng is surrounded by water on three sides, and the geographical conditions are actually extremely superior. However, in this season, the surging river water in the past has formed a thick layer of ice, which is no different from the land. In more than a month, Wuwei soldiers have crossed the ice surface many times and launched attacks on Guancheng.
In fact, the ice surface has become much thinner in the past month. In some places, holes have even been smashed by the catapults above the city. Although time has passed, these holes have been frozen again, but their hardness is as hard as before.
Today, the Wuwei soldiers still attacked three times and one times. The three troops launched an attack at the same time. The two troops crossed the ice and launched an attack on Guancheng.
Feng Lun was originally in Guancheng, and there were originally 15,000 soldiers. After more than a month of fighting, those who were injured in the battle, frostbite by the severe cold and fell ill, which reduced his staff by about 5,000, but he still had 10,000 troops, so he still had enough strength to deploy troops and set up his troops. It is naturally not the best choice to defend the city.
The most correct way of playing is to win outside the city wall, relying on the city wall to form a three-dimensional defense and attacking posture. He arranged a whole half of the manpower outside the city.
The battle was first launched on the river embankment. This was the first line of defense in Guancheng. The Wuwei soldiers needed to attack from the ice surface, while the Lulong soldiers firmly occupied the commanding heights and tried to prevent their opponents from the ice surface. As long as the Wuwei soldiers on the opposite side were frustrated and were stranded on the ice surface in large quantities, the crossbowmen and catapults on the city wall would cause great damage to them.
The catapults on both sides kept ringing. Although the distance between Wuwei's catapults was farther, they were far beyond the Lulong catapults installed on the city wall. In fact, it was impossible to install a giant catapult on the city wall on the top of the city wall on the top of the city wall.
Therefore, Wuwei's catapult attacked Guancheng itself, while Lulong catapult, bed crossbow and other weapons above the city were attacking Wuwei soldiers on the ice.
Feng Lunji was looking forward to the bombardment of these ice surfaces that could not support the stone bombs. If they could all break with a loud bang and send all the Wuwei ice on the ice surface into the ice river, that would be the happiest thing.
However, expectation is always just expectation. Although some caves appear on the ice surface from time to time, it is obviously still a long way from the complete shattering of the ice surface.
A loud noise came from afar, accompanied by countless screams. Feng Lun saw in pain that the few catapults above the city had been smashed by Wuwei. This is the pain of weapons being inferior to humans. Others can still hit you across a river, but you can't hit him.
Those who are not in the scene will not experience the terror of the terror of the huge rocks falling from the sky. Moreover, they will not fall down at one time, but dozens of them at a time. Every time they fall, Guancheng will shake violently, as if they may collapse at any time.
On the top of the city, except for those powerful crossbowmen, Feng Lun withdrew all the other soldiers and horses into the Tibetan military cave. Of course, except for officers, these people must stand at the top of the city. The officers who beat the war drums were also these officers, including Feng Lun. He stood under his military flag, holding a drumstick in his hands, and beating vigorously. He wanted his soldiers to see him every time they turned around.
Under the city wall, soldiers from both sides collided together.
Liang Han rushed to the top, and he always had this kind of fighting style. As soon as the battle started, he shouted and rushed forward, and his soldiers had never caught up with him.
Liang Han is such a person, neither Gongsun Changming nor Li Ze can change him. He regarded Gongsun Changming's bitterness as a shrew, and Li Ze's erection was regarded as a feigned anger by him. He never took it seriously.
In the end, Li Ze had no choice but to ask the craftsmen to create a special armor for this guy. Compared with the armor worn by ordinary generals, Liang Han's armor was much thicker, and of course, it was much heavier. Fortunately, this guy not only had thick skin and flesh, but his whole body of kung dynasty was indeed powerful. Although he had a little more than 20 kilograms, he didn't seem to feel any burden.
Apart from armor, Li Ze also had no way to make a specially made knife. He used the same material as Li Ze's own dragon sword and crane sword. It was really made of iron like mud. With a unique shield, the shield was surrounded by extremely sharp blades. When waving, it was no different from a knife. Of course, such things were apart from people like Liang Han who could play with them, and others probably did not hurt the enemy yet, so they would hurt themselves first.
Liang Han ran very fast and was on the ice, which made him feel insecure, especially when he saw holes in some places along the way, he ran faster and faster.
Sometimes, he is particularly afraid of death, but as soon as he joins the battle, he becomes an absolute madman again.
When he rushed up the river bank, he was still twenty or thirty steps away from his nearest subordinates.
So the more than twenty spears around him poked towards Liang Han together.
Liang Han fell down. He shrank under the shield and kicked hard. He rushed up against the slope. There was a tingling sound of stuttering on the shield.
Liang Han roared wildly, and the man bounced up from the ground, pushed the spear open, waved the big knife in his hand, and there was a constant sound of crackling sound. I don’t know how many gun rods were cut off by him at this moment, and he rushed into the crowd on the dike again.
The shield was waving like a windmill. At this time, the shield was not a protective weapon, but an unyielding offensive weapon. It was really dead when it was side by side, and when it was rubbed, the knife in his hand was thrown horizontally and slashed. In the blink of an eye, Liang Han broke a gap in the embankment.
At this moment, his subordinates rushed in.
Liang Han has opened a gap for them.
This is the role of peerless generals in close combat on the battlefield. It is also the reason why such figures have a very grand reputation in the army, because they can always open gaps for their subordinates and make their subordinates' survival chances become greater.
The city wall was still desperately attacking the Wuwei follow-up troops on the ice, but more Wuwei soldiers had already rushed to the embankment and started a hand-to-hand battle with Lu Long's soldiers under the city wall.
On the other hand, Wanfu fought in a normal manner. Until now, both sides are still fighting on the embankment.
On the only land facing the city wall, Cao Xin's central army, commanded by Li Tao, launched a fierce attack. Cao Xin's central army was composed of Li Tao's Zhaozhou soldiers and Cao Xin's Yizhou soldiers. These troops were the old foundation for the Li family to dominate Chengde in the past. There were more people and their combat effectiveness was stronger. Li Tao himself was even more brave and rushed forward.
After the fierce battle between the two sides until afternoon, Li Tao and Liang Han took the lead in making a breakthrough. The Lu Long army in front of them could not resist and could only walk around the city wall and retreat towards the Xicheng without enemy troops. As soon as they retreated, the Lu Long army in front of them had to retreat with them.
Whether it was Liang Han or Li Tao, he did not chase the enemy. On the contrary, after gaining the advantage of the battlefield, countless soldiers rushed up from behind. These soldiers were not holding weapons, but carrying logs and wooden boards.
Then, under the rainy feather arrows above the city, they nailed the logs to the ground, covered the wooden boards, and finally, they pressed iron shields on the wooden boards.
In less than half an hour, a large enclosed piece of wood and shield was formed outside the walls of Guancheng.
Above this distance, the catapult on the city head could no longer attack these wooden enclosures less than a hundred steps away from the city wall due to the shooting angle. Although the crossbow arrows were powerful, the wooden enclosure was covered with a shield and a support column was stamped behind them, forming an organic whole. The crossbow arrows may break some of them, but they cannot shake the whole. These broken surfaces were soon filled by the Wuwei soldiers.
The Wuwei crossbow machine that moved across the river also began to suppress and shoot above the city. After this earth encirclement, the crossbowmen of the Wuwei soldiers sat cross-legged on the ground and shot waves of crossbow arrows onto the city.
There are not many archers in Wuwei, but there are a lot of crossbowmen. After joining the army, every soldier will receive special training in this area. Put down his knife and lift up the crossbow. These people are crossbowmen.
Feng Lun was very confused because the Wuwei soldiers actually had the upper hand under the city, and they even suppressed the attacks on the bows and arrows from the city, but the other party did not seem to have planned to attack the city, and they didn't even have a ladder. Could it be that the other party was going to use this wooden surround to surround Guancheng?
It is not difficult to recover from this and organize troops to break out of the city again.
The soldiers behind the Wuwei Armor were still transporting things. Just behind the wooden wizard, they began to assemble some strange things, and some people even waved their pickaxes to start chiseling the ice surface.
Finally, several assembled guys revealed their true faces. Feng Lun was stunned. The Wuwei Bing seemed to be assembled by water dragons.
How could Feng Lun be unfamiliar with water dragons? They are equipped with special faucets in big cities, which are engaged in fire extinguishing. However, Wuwei's water dragons look a bit weird, and they are just a few more than ordinary water dragons.
Could it be that Cao Xin wanted to flood the city?
