Chapter 659: Battle of Shaowu (1) (2)
But Zhao Dongting still shook his head, "The Yuan army has suffered a loss in Guangze, and even Zhang Kui Temple has died. Now the camp seems calm, but maybe it is a murderous intent to hide. Seniors, please don't take risks."
Hong Wutian and Le Wuxuan are not only his treasures, but also have a close personal relationship with him. Zhao Dongting never wants them to have any accidents.
That night, Zhao Dongting and others were on the city until late at night before returning to the government office.
The sky is getting brighter.
The Yuan army could not wait to march towards Shaowu. When the sky was completely dawn, tens of thousands of troops had already arrived at the north gate of Shaowu City, only a few hundred meters away from the city gate.
The wind blew, whirling the flags in the Yuan army.
A group of Yuan generals immediately stood in front of each army, all looking up at the city of Shaowu County.
On the top of the city, there were only a few hundred soldiers. They were either gunners or crossbowmen. The rest of the soldiers were no longer visible.
Bald heads were emitting some light in the morning light.
The Yuan army generals had obviously discussed a countermeasure to capture Shaowu, but a few minutes later, drums sounded in the central army.
The two armies lined up in front of the army, about 10,000 people, stepped forward together and approached the city of Shaowu step by step.
There were no siege hammers or catapults in their army. Some were just a much smaller cannon chariot than catapults.
The range of the cannon chariot was similar to that of the catapult. When they reached about five hundred meters outside the city, the two military formations paused again with the shouts of the generals.
The passionate murderous aura was so strong that it could not even be blown away by the wind.
The extremely turbid river water flows through the moat outside Shaowu City, but since the Thunder of the Sky was invented by Zhao Dongting, the moat no longer has achieved great effect as before.
"put!"
On the top of the city, there was a general wearing armored army looking at the Yuan army formation seriously and giving orders.
The bright red flag waves forward.
Stones were thrown into the sky by a catapult cart and fell into the Yuan army formation.
Almost at the same time, dark thunders were also shot out from the cannon chariots in the Yuan army formation.
The battle started in such a sudden situation.
Each thunder exploded on the city wall or fell on the top of the city. The smoke of gunpowder and countless blue brick debris flew.
These broken bricks fell into the moat outside the city, shaking waves.
The soldiers of the Toutuo Army were blown away by the thunder, and even the catapult cart was blown into pieces.
However, there were also soldiers in the Yuan army who failed to avoid the stones thrown from the city and were immediately beaten to pieces.
The range of the gunboat is much worse than that of the grenade launcher.
Most of the sky-burning thunders were not thrown to the top of the city, but all the stones emitted from the Toutuo army fell into the Yuan army's formation.
Just by the loss of the soldiers on both sides, the Yuan army was undoubtedly at a loss. After all, there were only a few hundred Tuo troops on the top of the city, which was too scattered.
The power of the sky-blasting thunder cannot be fully exerted.
However, under such circumstances, even the strong city walls would obviously not last long. If the Yuan army ignored the cost, the city wall would sooner or later be razed to the ground.
Thunder and stones kept intersecting in the air.
The whole city seemed to be shaking.
However, under the leadership of the generals, no one retreated.
In terms of combat effectiveness, those who were born in the rebel army may not be able to compare with the soldiers of the Yuan army. However, they were all born through many battles, and in terms of ruthlessness, they were not bad at all.
In this way, more than ten minutes passed soon.
There were many gaps on the top of the city, and more than twenty catapults of the Toutuo Army were also blown up.
In the Yuan army, the cannon chariots were also hit by stones and then turned into pieces.
If this continues, the city gate will sooner or later be broken.
However, the Yuan army generals seemed not satisfied with siege at such a price and speed, and the drums in the army suddenly became excited.
When the generals raised the weapons in their hands, the two soldiers in the forefront of the army made a loud shout and rushed to the city of Shaowu.
"Shoot the arrow!"
"Shoot the arrow!"
The eyes of several generals of the Chengtoutuo Army almost opened and shouted.
Arrows rushed out from the battlements at the top of the city.
These arrows were fired by powerful crossbows, and they all had extremely strong force when they shot into the Yuan army group, which could often penetrate the two Yuan armies.
However, this damage is really just like itchy for the Yuan army, which is supported by tens of thousands of troops.
No one will care about this loss.
The artillery chariots in the Yuan army also took advantage of the situation to advance. After the range was closer, the increasingly dense sky-blasting thunder could fall on the city.
Hundreds of soldiers of the Tuo Army were jumping on the city where artillery fire flew everywhere.
Someone was blown up by the thunder while running, screaming and throwing him away, and then he never got up again.
They are still lucky.
Some soldiers with their legs or hands were lying in blood on the ground, looking at their broken limbs, their faces filled with horror. Tears and blood flowed out, screaming in terror.
This is even more painful than death.
The eyes of the generals of the Toutu Army were red.
On the roof of a house next to the street behind the city wall, Zhao Dongting and others looked at the situation on the city wall, and their faces were also serious.
Zhao Dongting did not expect that the Yuan army would be so eager to take down Shaowu County, but in a short time he would let the soldiers launch a fierce attack on the city gate.
The situation was even worse than he had expected.
There are hundreds of Tuo troops, but I don’t know how long it will be able to block the Yuan army. And this day has just begun.
Every minute and every second seems extremely difficult at this moment.
It was extremely difficult for thousands of people to stop the Yuan army and to persevere until Huang Hua led his army to arrive.
The dense Yuan army rushed to the side of the moat of Shaowu City under the rain of arrows.
The turbid river water flows by.
Archers in the Yuan army shot towards the city.
There were screams on the top of the city, and more and more soldiers of the Toutuo army fell in pools of blood.
But there were still people who kept holding stones and throwing turmeric oil out.
The Yuan army was pressing against the ground.
The soldiers of the Toutuo Army often appear at the top of the city and find it difficult to retreat.
The Yuan army's crossbows are powerful, and they are not something that can be avoided so easily.
Hundreds of people gradually became more than two hundred, and then only more than one hundred were left.
I don’t know when, the generals could no longer hear the shouts of the generals on the top of the city. The only few generals died in artillery fire and arrows.
There are more bodies lying on the top of the city than those standing.
Chapter completed!
