Chapter 55: The Siege
It was a sunny day, and it wasn't very cold even if there was an occasional gust of wind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoCompared with this beautiful weather, Lu Huaidong has a huge pressure in his heart, he understands in his heart that if Jingzhou cannot be attacked for a long time, once the Warat people who attacked Hirohito Pass turn around and lead the troops to retreat, they will be wrapped in dumplings one after the other. Therefore, Jingzhou must be broken, and it must be broken as soon as possible.
Lu Huaidong looked ahead, his vision was not wide, in front of him was a neat array of infantry, the figures of the team could not see the end, and the rumbling shouts of killing filled the world.
Lu Weixin saw his father's solemn expression, and patted the horse over, "Dad, how is it?
"Hmm. Lu Huaidong nodded, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.
Ten cannons had already been placed in front of the city gates, and soldiers loaded with ammunition stood on either side, each with a red silk tied around his arm, which was the characteristic sign of the fire battalion and the artillery battalion.
Lu Huaidong glanced at the firearm hand behind him who was about to stop, and his heart was a little settled. Guo Wenying is a genius, with the guy style she made, why worry about the city not being broken?
He waved his hand, and the little flag soldier ran backwards with the command flag, "Give the order, open fire, siege the city-"
The drum sounded, and the ten cannons shot towards the city wall with great impact, and the rumbling sound, mixed with the huge explosion sound, exploded on the city tower, and the Wara soldiers who were originally waiting on the city wall were suddenly blurred by the bombardment, and the neat team scattered in all directions.
The general of Warat defending the city looked sluggish, he didn't expect what it was, how could it be so powerful?
Lu Huaidong immediately laughed, with these few cannon shots, it was really morale-boosting.
"Charge—"
As he snapped, a squad of infantry rushed up with a ladder.
Behind him, the cannon roared, and the huge trebuchet made a "click" sound of the mechanism turning.
The infantry was in front, the cavalry was behind, and groups of soldiers rushed forward one after another, using the most primitive and effective human flesh method to launch a fierce attack.
The trebuchets on the city wall also "clicked", ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, arrows like flying locusts shot out, even if they carried shields, they could not resist, the first group of infantry fell to the ground, the second team made up for it, and then the cavalry rushed up, and was pressed down by strong force, no one flinched, and then rushed up again.
Lu Huaidong looked at the group of soldiers who fell one after another, and was not in a hurry, and said to Lu Weixin, who was standing close to him behind him: "Are you ready?"
Lu Weixin nodded, tightened the wide belt on his body, at this time, he did not have much surging passion in his heart, but there was a kind of bloodline about to be exhausted, a dead silence.
The more he had to be calm before the war, thinking that he was dead, this was what Guo Wenying taught him. At this moment, he was worried about whether Jingzhou City could be captured, and he was also worried about Guo Wenying, with her temperament, she would definitely defend the city gate, but her three-legged cat's kung fu was really uneasy.
"Then go ahead. Lu Huaidong waved his hand and saw his son rushing forward with more than two dozen people holding shields.
This is Guo Wenying's plan, she knows that the Jingzhou city gate is thick, and the city must be difficult to break, so she prepared a few packs of explosives in advance, as long as the soldiers carrying explosives on their backs are mixed in the siege soldiers, and quietly bury the explosives under the city gate.
Cold weapons are simply difficult to resist their tremendous power in the face of hot weapons, and this is the charm of science, and only by mastering the most powerful technology can we truly win the war. It is because Guo Wenying deeply understands this that he has this completely suppressive weapon.
With the second wave of cavalry charging, Lu Weixin rushed to the city gate without much effort, lit a fire twist, and then began to run backwards, and shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat—" After shouting, his body rushed forward, and the whole fell to the ground.
As he shouted, a huge explosion sounded, and the earth trembled, and the smoke billowed in front of him, and the shadows were so dense that it was impossible to see where the people were.
Lu Weixin looked at the opening in the city gate in front of him that was opened by explosives, and it was difficult to come back to his senses for a while, the east gate of Jingzhou, which was three feet thick and three feet high, was wrapped in iron sheets.
The power of the explosion was huge, and the surrounding dodge was not as large as a large number of corpses affected by the explosion, most of which were soldiers of the Northwest Army.
Lu Weixin couldn't help touching his head and said secretly: "Good guy, so powerful." Fortunately, Guo Wenying taught her to lie down on the spot after lighting the explosives, otherwise she would be like these slower soldiers at this time. ”
There was a faint pain in his arm, as if he had been scratched by a splashing stone, but fortunately, there was no major problem, and he got up and ran forward.
The Warat soldiers on the city wall were so stunned that they forgot to fire their arrows, and the war almost came to a standstill for a moment.
Lu Huaidong was a little shocked, but fortunately, he reacted, knowing that the opportunity was easy to miss, and hurriedly commanded the army behind him to charge.
The newborn sun was dazzling and bright, and thick smoke was billowing around the city wall of the East Gate, and the assembled Southern Qi army was desperate to charge up.
At this moment, the "click" mechanism behind the gate turned sound, the drawbridge was lowered, and a black arrow feather made of dark iron shot out, and the soldiers of the Southern Qi Army who were charging three zhang away were suddenly pierced by long arrows through their chests, and fell to the ground with a bang, and a succession of black arrows followed in front of them, and many Southern Qi soldiers did not have time to have the next thought in their minds, and they were shot and fell to the ground by the huge penetrating force.
After a "buzzing" sound of breaking the air, the Southern Qi army that rushed to the front fell one piece, and the huge overwhelming lethality gave the charging Southern Qi soldiers a moment of shock, and the main force had not yet appeared, and the murderous aura roared.
It turned out that when the Warats saw that the city gate had been destroyed, they were fortunate to open the drawbridge and release the most elite troops.
Lu Huaidong squinted slightly at the murderous black armor army, at this moment Lu Weixin ran back with his arms in his arms, he threw a spear over, "Can you still fight?"
Lu Weixin nodded.
"If you can fight, don't be a bad seed, and give Lao Tzu a horse. ”
Lu Weixin turned over and jumped on the war horse, the big black colt under him was irritable and gouging his hooves, it was born a good war horse, and it could soon feel the atmosphere of the big war, and it was a little impatient to wait. Many of the countless cavalry behind him were restless, and the oppressive atmosphere was waiting for a breakthrough to erupt.
The Varat army on the opposite side gathered a huge fan, like a lazy beast, huge fearless and slowly stretched out.
Lu Weixin looked ahead, suddenly raised the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Drive out the Tartars, return my mountains and rivers." ”
