Chapter 657: Breaking the City in Three Days

The surrounding area was surrounded by killing sounds shook the sky. Outside Guzang City, the Sui army launched a large offensive.

The first thing to confront was crossbow battle. This kind of crossbow is not a small arm crossbow, but a large crossbow. There are foot crossbows and chariot crossbows. They do not use human arm strength, but use mechanical principles to use twisted force to load the crossbow. The large crossbow machine fired three arrows with one arrow, which was extremely fierce.

The soft bows and a few long bows used by the Xiliang Army on the top of the city were suppressed when they could not reach the other party at all.

The crossbow roared like a cracked eardrum, and shot a group of children's half-iron crossbow arrows deep into the city wall.

Some guards were shot as soon as they showed up and wanted to check the situation, they either pierced through their bodies or threw him out of the city.

"Puff puff puff--"

The constant number of people being shot and killed makes the Western Liang army very passive.

Next, the whirlwind cannon and trencher played a role. First, a round of stone smashing, then a fire urn flew out, with a string of black smoke and fire, landed on the top of the city, and exploded directly. The soldiers around him suddenly screamed, and many of them were knocked out of their eyes, faces, bodies, and blood holes, and the range of injuries was wide. Although they were not very fatal, they were immediately hung up and their influence continued to fight. If they were not done well, they became disabled.

Such a fierce attack seriously reduced the spirit of the Western Liang army.

"Surrender, surrender quickly. The Sui army's weapons are too powerful and cannot resist at all!"

"Yes, stop fighting them. Among those people, our fellow villagers, are from the northwest. Why do we kill each other?"

At this moment, the spies were still emitting negative emotions, fanning the defenders to give up resistance, and surrendered for a while.

However, at this time, the prince, Cao Zhen, Liang Shuo and others came to supervise the battle in person. They had already issued a death order and had to defend themselves. Anyone who fled or criticized without authorization would be executed immediately.

Rumble!

As the battlefield under the city approached, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and many soldiers set up ladders and were building them on the city wall.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

The sound of drums in the city suddenly sounded, and the guards in the city knew that the Sui army had ended the long-distance attack. The first wave of troops arrived at the city and began to fight. They hurriedly got up, and the squadron had been smashed, which was very embarrassed, but they could still use it.

"Shoot the arrow!" The guard at the top of the city began to command the archers to fight back.

"Swish swish swish swish swish--"

Clusters of sharp arrows attacked the Sui army under the city densely from the top of the city.

The condescending attack also posed a certain threat to the Sui army's siege. The first military soldier was shot, either dead or injured.

The thirty-six-sided drums in the rear of the Sui army also rang rapidly at this time, increasing morale.

The soldiers who were approaching the city were already holding shields and resisting arrows so as not to be regarded as living targets. While thrusting forward quickly, they began to climb the cloud ladder to attack the city. Under the arrows, people kept falling down, blood staining the earth, but no one went to take a look.

Soon, the soldiers on both sides met in close contact at the top of the city and in the suspended air. The soldiers of the Sui army fought with the soldiers of the Xiliang army at the top of the city.

In the early stage, the defenders could still stabilize the front line. Once the enemy soldiers became more and more fierce, someone suddenly shouted: "Don't fight, we surrender."

"I surrender!"

"And I--"

Someone threw away the weapons and squatted on the ground with his head in his arms. Several people took the lead, which was enough to affect this area of ​​ten meters.

"Don't kill!" The Sui army soldiers thought of their own slogans at this time and shouted them out. The effect was surprisingly good. More people joined in and threw away their weapons and became surrendered soldiers.

"The surrendered soldiers are all on the side!"

"Don't get in the way."

Under the leadership of the lieutenant and the commander, the Sui army soldiers continued to fight towards the steps and attack the city gate.

However, there were garrisons in the outer city, and thousands of people gathered up to block the Sui army's charge.

Only when Pancheng was more people, the situation was turning around little by little, and eventually, suppressing the Xiliang army to retreat continuously.

"Kill-kill--"

Even though some surrendered, there were also some loyal soldiers of Xiliang who fought stubbornly and fought fiercely with the Sui army.

"Roar!Roar!Roar!"

The Sui army vanguard was equivalent to a suicide squad. Seeing that victory was in sight, all of them burst out with amazing potential. Hundreds of people forced to disperse a city gate that was stationed by two thousand people and seized the right to open the city gate.

Squeak!

The stone gate opened, and the Sui army, which had been blocked outside the city, whistling in, was unstoppable.

Then, the cavalry entered the city, and the Modao squat broke into the formation, suppressing the Xiliang army, and constantly retreating, leaving behind a piece of corpse.

In less than an hour, the city gate was broken. This speed was amazing.

Luo Zhaoyun smiled on his face. After actual combat tests, this army was constantly grinding before it could be polished out and used to fight against Xue Ju, Li Tang and Dou Jiande's army.

It has to be said that the 10,000 suicide squad formed by the Hu tribe is really fierce. After being effectively organized, it uses advanced weapons and exerts strong combat power.

"It's over. The Sui army is too strong. The major event in Xiliang is gone." Shangshu Cao Zhen couldn't help but scream.

The prince Li Boyu's face turned pale and had already escaped back to Guzang City. He stood on the city tower and watched the smoke from the outside, fighting and shaking the sky, and the fire was rising and falling, and the city was obviously broken.

If you lose the outer city, the inner city’s defense line will be extremely dangerous, and you will be caught in a jar.

Apart from fighting to the death, you cannot break through and escape, the last way is to surrender.

"How many people have been lost?"

Cao Zhen replied: "At least 30,000, many people didn't have time to withdraw. They were either injured, died in battle, or surrendered to surrender."

"There are less than 30,000 people in the city. How long can it last?" Prince Li Boyu's face turned pale and he was not optimistic about the situation in Xiliang.

It was still early, and the Sui army did not stop attacking, but instead took advantage of the victory and attacked fiercely, but replaced the troops and took turns to attack.

Xue Wanren and Zhou Zhongyin led their troops into the city and directly commanded the troops to continue attacking the inner city.

Li Gui personally led the guards to resist and boost morale. When the soldiers saw that the King of Xiliang was still leading the way and commanded on the front line, their will to resist became stronger.

However, the Sui army's crossbows were too strong, and they kept firing arrows at the top of the city to suppress them, shocking the Xiliang army.

After fighting for a long time, each of them suffered numerous casualties and wounded. Until nightfall, Guzang City was still not taken down.

Luo Zhaoyun ordered the three armies to rest for a short time, siege the city and camp, and camp in bonfires at night. He followed the example of the enemy's sings, blew the Qiang flute and Hu Zuo in the northwest, and dismantled the will of the defenders.

The next day, the Xiliang army continued to attack the city, and it was obvious that the Xiliang army was less active and its spirit weakened.

On the third day, the Sui army's advantage intensified, and they used a large-scale projection of fire urns to blow up the guards on the city, creating opportunities for the Sui army's military soldiers to climb the city. At this time, there was also restlessness in the city. The local commander of Yanlang Pavilion instigated some lieutenants to lead people to launch sneak attacks on the Xicheng Gate.

In the end, the city gate was swept open. When the five thousand Modao warriors launched a charge into the city gate, it meant that the Xiliang regime was about to perish.
