Chapter 317 Bombing the city gate
Because this wall has been burned with fire, there are not many defenders on the city. At present, no one has siege. The lethality of the soldiers is not very serious. However, the entire city wall collapsed due to explosion. Although it is five meters high, eight meters wide at the bottom and six meters wide at the top. The wall of the building is thick and heavy. The explosion effect of a large amount of gunpowder is only a destructive effect. It cannot completely overturn the entire city wall, but the blow to the confidence of the defenders is self-evident.
Luo Hou, who had just been retiring from the previous stage, saw this rare opportunity. While using mortars to expand the results of war, he used a car and crossbow, and suppressed the defenders who were going to aid, while organizing a ladder and a watchtower to rush towards the city that had been under the bed for more than one meter.
Stones, crossbow arrows, and fireworks flying in the sky caused quite a lot of trouble to the defenders who were going to the castle. However, the city walls that fell down in an inclined shape were loose bricks and stones. I want to rush up quickly. The soldiers of the Tian Army also had great difficulties. The left and right defenders on the left and right side of the city were cross-firing with stone cannons and crossbow arrows. They used powerful firepower to stop Yingtian Army from approaching. They organized a large number of people to plug the gaps. Many people who had been summoned to wait in the city. Under the intimidation of the Xuanwu army officers and soldiers, they rushed to the city. The sandbags were all prepared by Kang Huaizhen when he was in charge of defending the city. Now Kang Huaizhen did not expect that the things that were prepared at will come in handy.
The soldiers outside the city, no matter whether you are a strong man or a woman who set foot on the battlefield, the enemy's arrows poured into them without hesitation, many people were carrying sandbags and falling down, filling the city wall with soil, piled up sandbags, gradually rising, gradually flattening the city wall, followed by countless soil and water filling the gaps, and the bricks and stones were loose, and there was a layer of mud on top. It was not easy to climb.
However, the people and the people who repaired the city walls had left more than 500 bodies, and the city walls that were quickly filled were solid and limited in their defense facilities were also destroyed. The defenders were not easy to play a good role in the geographical effect. It was easy to become the main attack direction of Yingtian Army. Yingtian Army still concentrated several siege equipment to move here in a staircase.
It was already sunset, and a touch of color stained the city.
"Jie Shuai is fighting at night." Fang Wenzhong, who had just retired to rest, came to ask Duan Mingyu for his upper body, left arm, with his wounds, and his eyes were covered with his grim eyebrows.
Duan Mingyu looked at the battlefield silently for a long time and weighed for a while. He shook his head and ordered: "Ming Jin to withdraw his troops."
Fang Wenzhong shouted in a daze: "Get off the troops."
Duan Mingyu looked at him coldly and asked faintly:...I didn't hear my military order.
Fang Wenzhong looked back and shouted, "Get off the troops and retreat the troops and the gold medal."
The soldiers retreated like a tide and the noise of fighting on the dust stopped. The battlefield suddenly became surprisingly quiet. Many soldiers with overdrawn strength realized that they had even exhausted their last strength. They staggered back to the camp and fell to the ground and could no longer move.
The city site is full of bloody corpses. Some broken corpses are hanging upside down on the top of the city or half hanging on giant arrows. The city car and the Zhe'anhao Bridge are still burning fire to announce to people the tragic battle that has just happened here.
Zhu Wen was also very guilty, although he had a good position in the field and once he faced such a strong enemy, he had to harden his head and deal with Li Keyong and Duan Mingyu. The facts proved that if you have something to do, don't think about the serious consequences of cheating people. Even if you are fully confident, it would not work.
Duan Mingyu looked back at Bianliang City and looked at Duan Mingyu's heart was filled with emotion. It was really not easy to capture this Bianliang City. However, no matter how great the sacrifice was, it was worthy of his own Songzhou. A newly emerging city in two years had a radiation power to the surrounding areas. In any case, it was impossible to compare with such an ancient city. There was only shrimps on the shallows of an ancient city. I could never raise dragons. I occupied Bianliang City. He could realize his grand career step by step.
"The prince has been destroyed and the city is broken. It will be tomorrow. The prince will be opened. When the city gate is opened, the ten thousand heavy armored knights under my command will rush into the broken arrows. The heavy armored cavalry covered with iron will not work. Once the city is rushed into the city, the battle will be stable. The 30,000 light cavalry will then drive into the prince. At that time, the prince can send troops to the city and then capture Zhu Wen, the thief."
"Brother Duan is really so sure," Li Keyong asked skeptically.
"I am willing to issue a military order." Duan Mingyu affirmed that the city wall has been broken many times in the past few days, but because the follow-up personnel did not keep up, they missed the opportunity again and again.
After consideration, Duan Mingyu finally formulated this strategy for siege.
The next day, Duan Mingyu beating drums and gathering generals to make dinner at the fourth and fifth anniversary. At dawn, he was already neatly arranged outside Bianliang City.
Hundreds of mortar cannons emit cold and cold light. The muzzles pointed upwards at the city wall of Bianliang City, countless cloud cars, cloud ladders, siege crossbows, rockets and ignite oil were waiting in full force. Commander-in-chief Duan Mingyu ordered the muzzles of hundreds of mortar cannons sprayed flames at the same time. Solid iron bullets ruthlessly hit the wall of Bianliang City, countless bricks and stones splashed on the city wall. Screams one after another.
The battle between cold weapons and hot weapons was destined to be inferior to the anti-army soldiers on the city, who were inferior to cold weapons, cursed Gongxian, and scratched his fingers with blood. No matter how strong the strong bow was, he still could not shoot the arrows to the front of the Beijing army. What they had to face was the overwhelming iron bullets and the siege crossbow that shot out fiercely nailed to the city wall.
"The cannon of the Grand Marshal is indeed powerful..." Wang Aiqing shouted excitedly in front of the formation and was about to move: "If the production bureau mass-produces 1,000 mortars in the future, we can cut off 30% of the enemy's troops by placing them in a single round of artillery."
Duan Mingyu narrowed his eyes and pointed at a place with many bullet points on the Bianzhou city wall, which had already been deeply concave and said: "I ordered the gunner to aim at that point to concentrate the artillery fire and beat me up to see how many cannons can be used to blow it away by a seven-meter-thick city wall."
"yes"
A shell on the top of the city of Bianzhou passed Zhu Wen and a guard behind Zhu Wen was unfortunately hit by an iron bullet. The belly was hummed without even humming, and his limbs were blown to pieces, and blood and fevered internal organs splashed Zhu Wen all over.
"It's not good that the enemy's army concentrated artillery fire and wanted to collapse the city wall below. It was soon transferred to the city and the other two thousand people to come up to prepare sandbags to block the hole."
