Chapter 160: Dark Clouds Overcome the City
In the end, these stones became part of the city wall and played a solid role.
After a few hours, the cement completely dried up. As huge rocks continued to attack, the city wall seemed to have become a honeycomb. These flying stones were finally connected to the cement, regardless of each other.
It is really incredible that the Song people actually completed the repair of the city wall under the attack of Huihui cannons under their noses.
"I didn't expect that I could not break through this small city today!" A Shu was very disappointed. Huihui Pao had already locked in the victory, but there were still variables.
The Song people had a very magical thing. After this thing was mixed with water, and some iron tendons were added, it would become extremely hard after the air was dried. Even if the Huibo was hit, it would only break some small pieces of soil.
However, there must not be too many magical substances like the Song people, but the stones of their stone throwers are infinite. It depends on when the Song people consumed that substance.
A Shu did the following analysis, and if you persist for a few more days, your victory will definitely belong to them.
Cement has such a magical effect, but unfortunately it was all used up. I had known that I would have transported more of it. Why didn’t cement be transported in full before? I also transported a ship of cured meat to come over. What’s the use of eating? The supplies here can last for at least three years.
This guy completely forgot. He only complained not long ago that Song Chen had to transport cement that could not be eaten or used, but now he felt that he was too lucky.
Could it be really finished?
Fan Tianshun knew that today was over, and what about tomorrow? The cement had been used up.
With the Tatars as a siege weapon, no city can withstand its attack.
What I can do is to persevere for more than one day, and the day when the city is broken is the day when my death is.
On the third day of the siege, Hui Hui cannon made a big gap in the city wall. This time, Fan Tianshun used the local craft to fill the pit, but it did not work at all. He also made the robes take unnecessary risks, so he was banned by Fan Tianshun again.
When the gap reached three zhang long and one zhang deep, the shooting angle of the stone thrower changed again. The difference is that this time they took the initiative to adjust.
The long horns blow up and the real general attack begins.
There was no moat in this section of the city wall. Mongolian soldiers like crows rushed over with iron shields and siege hammers in an orderly manner.
The two thousand Terminators were always ready, and Fan Tianshun watched these terrifying combat powers slowly approaching.
"First team shooting!" Fan Tianshun still listened to Song Chen's suggestion. Because the boy's words have always been quite reliable, he also implemented this kind of round-shooting attack.
More than fifty people fell down, and many others were injured. These brave soldiers hesitated for a while and continued to rush over.
The advantage of Fancheng is that this section of land is only one hundred feet wide, and even if the enemy wants to disperse the formation, they cannot reduce the target. If there are fewer people, they will not be able to effectively attack the city.
So what Fan Tianshun thought was to use this opportunity to harvest the enemy's power.
In the second round of shooting, another group of Mongolian soldiers fell. At this time, these infantry were only two hundred steps away from the city wall. At least two thousand archers were arching their bows to prepare for shooting.
A Shu had to suspend the attack. It was not because he felt that he could not conquer, but he was very confident because the stone throwing machines made by the two Hui Hui people were so powerful that they almost made them invincible.
Because the solid city wall is no longer the advantage of the Song army, what he wants to do is to minimize the casualties of the soldiers. He wants to try it and directly collapse the wall.
A Shu told his thoughts to those two Huihui people!
"Master, it is impossible to knock down the city wall because the target height is not enough, and the probability of hitting will be very small!" Yi Sima cried out, do you think my huge stone cannon is omnipotent?
"That can still be hit!" A Shu almost determined that it was feasible. Now the lowest part of the gap is still ten feet high, and people can't get over it. He wants to flatten it.
"Then, there are more stone cannons in the attack, and they will form hills, which will block the attack of the soldiers!" Alao Wading said in bad Chinese words.
A Shu thought about it and what they said made sense, but how could they reduce casualties? The Terminator One of the Song people is so hateful and poses a great threat to them.
Although the catapult kept throwing stones, this kind of thing was mainly harmful to the city walls that could not move. After a brief panic, the Song people also found out the way and were not afraid to move forward.
This is still rare among the Song people.
He did not see that Fan Tianshun and Niu Fu took the initiative to command the most dangerous city wall.
If you want to say that these flying stones are very powerful against the city walls that cannot be moved, but to deal with people, people can move. As long as you are well prepared and see the stone coming and hide in the right direction, you will not hurt people.
The Hui artillery was operating for so long that it only injured more than 20 enemies. There were also reasons why the soldiers on the city wall were scattered. Of course, this was also within the prediction of the Mongolian army. Yi Lao Wain had pointed out this problem long ago.
If the city wall is full of people, that situation will be exceptional, which will cause mass damage. The moment a stone is about to fall, many people can be killed.
"Do you want to go on the water?" Liu Zheng stepped forward and made suggestions. He always actively made suggestions on how to defeat Song Ting.
"The southerners said it well. If you don't leave the Yangguan Road, you will squeeze into a single-plank bridge. Cough!" Ali Hague sarcastically again as usual, but he swallowed the words afterwards.
He himself knows the military, obviously Liu Zheng wants to use a surprise soldier to win, and he will make sarcastic words self-inflicted.
"You are talking about taking the waterway of the moat. You can adjust some good players to the city at night and use a rope ladder to sneak up to the city." As the commander of the army, A Shu couldn't see this.
"Yes, not!" Liu Zheng deliberately kept it a secret.
A Shu made a gesture of inviting him, and Liu Zheng told him his plan. This time it was not a sneak attack, but an open attack.
To attack two groups and disperse their troops, one soldier will attack the city every ten steps.
"Wow, this is the real ambush!" A Shu said that this was a Han allusion he had recently learned, and now he is learning and applying it.
On the fourth day, Fan Tianshun heard the sound of alert, and there were shouts everywhere in the city gate. The Mongolian army attacked the city from all sides. Fancheng was really not small, with four miles of city walls. This way, it was divided into five thousand people, and one person had to guard a section of the city wall.
Besides, the opponent was the main attacker on the side of the Nancheng City, so he could not transfer anyone at all. He had no choice but to lead the deputy general Niu Fushuai to lead more than 30 people to support the most difficult places.
