Chapter 971: Raze Bushan for me!

East of Bushan City, the Wei army camp. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Time shifted like the wind, like the wind returned, and the situation found in Bushan City was truthfully reported to the potter.

"Shi Qian, well done, your information is too important." The potter was pleasantly surprised and praised the changing times.

Previously, the potter also thought that the Taiping army of 40,000 soldiers and horses was in the city, and it was not easy to break through Bushan quickly, and there was also Zhao Kuangyin, a terrifying and powerful character in the city.

Unexpectedly, Shi Qian brought back the intelligence that Zhao Kuangyin was transferred, Wei Changhui and Xiao Chaogui's internal fighting, and also made the enemy's troop deployment clear.

At this moment, the potter is confident.

Liu Ji also said excitedly: "I don't want the Taiping thieves to be fighting in the house at this time, this is really a godsend, Your Majesty, we don't need to wait any longer, let's attack the city immediately." ”

"Your Majesty, you can give the order, and I, Ma Chaoding, will raze Bushan to the ground." Ma Chao, who is eager for revenge, is also agitated to fight.

The rest of the generals Deng Ai, Qin Qiong, Chang Shuaichun, Mu Guiying and other generals also rose up with a fighting spirit, and they all rose up to call.

The fire of hunting and hunting filled the imperial tent.

Syllable!

As soon as the potter slapped the case, he stood up, waved his hand, and shouted: "Since the traitors have brought about their own destruction, what else do I have to hesitate about, send an order to the first army, and tomorrow when the sky is bright, the whole army will go out and raze Bushan City to the ground for me!" ”

"Raze Bushan!"

"Kill all the traitors!"

In the imperial tent, the generals of the Great Wei raised their arms and shouted, and the raging battle spirit was like an erupting volcano, almost bursting the imperial tent.

At the end of the night, the Holy Decree spread throughout the whole army, and the 100,000 soldiers were full of enthusiasm, and their fighting spirit exploded, ready to attack like tigers and wolves.

In order to boost morale, the potters took all the wine and meat that day, rewarded the soldiers of the battalion, and told them to eat and drink enough, so that they would have the strength to kill happily tomorrow.

The next day.

When the sky dawned, and the first rays of morning light rose from the east, the gates of the Wei army camp were opened, and 100,000 Wei soldiers walked out of the camp with the fighting spirit of hunting and gathered, and converged in the direction of Bushan City.

The 100,000-strong army, divided into two routes, formed an offensive posture in the direction of the south gate and the east gate of Bushan.

The army in the direction of the south gate was led by Mu Guiying, with about 40,000 people, while the pottery merchant personally led an army of 60,000 to attack the east gate.

At dawn, the potter gave an order, and the two armies launched a fierce attack on the enemy city almost simultaneously.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of the sky collapsing and the earth cracking shook the sky, and nearly 500 heavenly thunder cannons launched a crazy bombardment on the eastern gate of Budong, and the stone bullets rose into the air and bombarded the front line of the city.

Under the command of Li Guang, thousands of sharp arrows also broke through the air, weaving into a net of arrows over the enemy city.

Under the double long-range blow of stone bullets and arrow rain, the Taiping army at the head of the city was soon pressed to the point that they could not withstand it, and they could only shrink under the battlements and dare not show their heads.

Although Bushan Castle was a fortified city, the stone bullets failed to knock down the city wall, but such a powerful and intensive bombardment was enough to raze the upper part of the eastern city wall to the ground.

After half an hour of bombardment, the enemy city was already in a mess and miserable.

The potter did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately ordered the bombardment to be stopped, and the whole army was exhausted, launching a frontal assault.

Woo woo woo -

The horn sounded, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Chang Yuchun and Deng Ai and other fierce generals all killed, and 60,000 soldiers broke the embankment like a torrent, and unstoppably rushed towards the enemy city.

In the blink of an eye, one after another trench bridges were erected, and tens of thousands of Wei soldiers passed through the moats smoothly, and under the cover of their own strong arrows, they quickly erected more than 130 ladders and leaned against the enemy city wall.

Then, the impassioned killing sound sounded, and thousands of siege warriors, under the command of the generals, climbed the ladder at the cost of their lives, and in the blink of an eye, they climbed the entire city wall.

At the head of the city, Xiao Chaogui also worked hard, commanding his 20,000 horses, risking death to release arrows to the city, and flying stones desperately smashed towards the Wei army, desperately blocking the Wei army from landing the city.

The siege battle has officially begun.

The battle began early in the morning, and the attack lasted nearly two hours, and the time was close to noon.

The battle was unimaginably fierce, and the Wei army paid thousands of dead and wounded, and the losses were not insignificant.

The potters did not have the slightest intention of retreating, you know, this Bushan City is not the kind of fortified city of Qujiang Pass, and Xiao Chaogui's strength is not as good as Yang Xiuqing, so the potters do not believe it, and they can't capture this city by means of strong attack.

The siege continued, and as the minutes and seconds passed, the east gate was already full of corpses, stained with blood.

The Wei army suffered heavy losses, and the Taiping army also suffered countless casualties, and the corpses were lying all over the city wall, and they even directly regarded the corpses as sasswood and threw them down the city to bombard the Wei army.

Looking into the distance, the sky on the first line of Bushan Dongcheng was already shrouded in a thick layer of blood mist, even blocking the brilliance of the sun.

Under the imperial banner of the word "Wei", the potter stood with a horizontal sword, his eyes as solid as steel.

His sharp eagle eyes can naturally see that after a series of failures, Hong Xiuquan's set of magic stick theories has become more and more unable to fool his followers, can no longer arouse their fanaticism, and let the team return to the terrifying combat power of exterminating humanity in the past.

The Taiping army's will to fight has actually been greatly reduced at this moment, and it has fallen to the point that it is inferior to its own army.

Moreover, the potters also learned from the intelligence of the time that there was still infighting in this Taiping army, and in this case, what the potters had to do was to put the greatest pressure on the enemy as much as possible, so as to provoke the enemy's infighting to produce a qualitative change, and finally collapse from within.

Looking from afar, the potter soon found that the city tower where Xiao Chaogui was located suffered the most losses, and the situation was very unfavorable.

The potter immediately made a decision and shouted: "Where is the black charcoal head!" ”

"The minister is here!" Wei Chigong responded proudly.

The potter's horse whip pointed in the direction of the city gate, and said sharply: "The situation in the direction of the enemy's city gate is unfavorable, I order you to lead 5,000 elite soldiers of the Chinese army to fight for me to attack the city gate, if you can't break the city, you don't have to come back to see me!" ”

The potter put the order of life and death on Wei Chigong, the door god.

Wei Chigong didn't have the slightest ambiguity, tore off his clothes and armor, revealing half of his bare arms, and shouted: "Your Majesty, look at it, I'll not break the city gate, I'll raise my head to see Your Majesty!" ”

After saying that, Wei Chi Gong turned around on his horse, hesitated for a while, and brandished a big iron whip and slaughtered towards the city gate.

In the Central Military Department, the five thousand imperial ** guards who were originally around the potters broke out like a tide, following the black whirlwind and heading straight to the city gate.

At this moment, the potter even sent the last Chinese army to the battlefield, and there was no longer half a point of reservation, he wanted to use up all his troops, and he would not break the mountain today, and never retreat.

Wei Chigong rode like the wind, and in a blink of an eye, he took 5,000 soldiers and rushed to the city like a torrent, and joined the team that bombarded the city gate.

The offensive of the 60,000 Wei army reached a new limit in terms of ferocity.

The Taiping army's defense was already quite difficult, and as the 5,000 most elite Wei troops joined the siege, the pressure on the enemy army doubled, and gradually there were signs that it could no longer hold on.

On the front line of the city gate, under the urging of Wei Chigong, the Wei army set fire to the gate again, and rushed the car to hit the door, and the attack was so fierce that the city gate was crumbling.

On the city tower, Xiao Chaogui, who is known for being good at fighting tough battles, couldn't help but panic when he saw this situation, and began to mess up.

"The fighting spirit of our army is not as good as before, the attack of the Wei army is too fierce, my troops are not enough, and it is not a way to hold on like this......"

Xiao Chaogui's thoughts were racing, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Quick, quickly send someone to the south gate to ask for help from the king of the west, and ask him to divide half of the soldiers and horses to come for reinforcements." ”

He remembered the agreement with Wei Changhui.

Since the main force of the Wei army is at his own gate, it means that the number of Wei troops at the south gate must not be much, and Wei Changhui's 15,000 soldiers and horses are wasted, so it is better to divide some soldiers and horses out to relieve the pressure on his side.

As soon as he rode the messenger down the city, Pegasus went straight to the south gate.

South Gate.

At this moment, the sound of killing is also shocking, the blood mist is in the sky, and a fierce offensive and defensive battle is underway.

Mu Guiying, who was outside the south gate, was also driving his soldiers to storm the enemy city.

Originally, Mu Guiying's troops were only more than 30,000 people, and the number of Wei Changhui's defenders in the city was 15,000, only twice as many soldiers and horses, and there was not much advantage in numbers.

If this is replaced by Xiao Chaogui, Mu Guiying's attack will definitely not be cheap, but unfortunately, it is Wei Changhui who is defending the city.

Among the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, except for Feng Yunshan, who is good at governing the government but not good at governing the army, Wei Changhui's ability to use troops is the weakest, and even Hong Xiuquan, the heavenly king, is inferior.

Therefore, although he only faced the attack of more than 30,000 soldiers and horses from Mu Guiying, the pressure he felt was not inferior to Xiao Chaogui, and it was also quite difficult.

"King of the West, the war at the East Gate is tight, and the King of the North asks the King of the West to quickly divide half of the soldiers and horses to reinforce it!" The messenger rushed to him, crying anxiously.

When Wei Changhui heard this, his face sank, and he complained angrily: "The main direction of attack of the Wei army, obviously it is here, he is embarrassed to ask me for help, and he also wants half of the king's troops, what are he kidding!" ”

"But King West, we really ......"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Wei Changhui interrupted the messenger sharply, and said coldly: "This king knows that your northern king wants to take the opportunity to seize this king's soldiers and horses, you go back and tell him that this king is the main direction of attack of Wei Demon, you tell him to focus on the overall situation, and immediately divide 10,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce this king!" ”

Wei Changhui was not only unwilling to divide his troops, but also asked Xiao Chaogui to divide his troops to come for reinforcements!

The messenger couldn't cry or laugh, but he had no choice but to take Wei Changhui's reply and rush back to the east gate.

On the upper floor of the East Gate, Xiao Chaogui was commanding his soldiers, fighting to the death, and the situation was quite urgent.

On Xiao Chaogui's shoulder, there was even a bruise on the shoulder, and the blood stained the armor red.

As soon as he saw the messenger returning, Xiao Chaogui couldn't wait to roar: "Where are the reinforcements of the King of the West?" When will it arrive? ”

"Back to His Highness, the King of the West said that his south gate is the main direction of attack of the Wei Demon, not only did he refuse to divide troops to save us, but he also asked His Highness to divide troops to save him!" The messenger replied with tears in his voice.

"What!"

Xiao Chaogui suddenly changed color and scolded: "Wei Changhui's waste, he still dares to ask Lao Tzu to divide his troops, is he blind, can't he see which one is the direction of Wei Demon's main attack!" ”

Xiao Chaogui roared and scolded Wei Changhui's ancestors for eighteen generations.

And in the short time that he was angry, the defense of the east gate had become worse and worse, and the city gate had cracked everywhere under the impact of the rushing car, making a clicking sound, and it looked like it was about to be smashed.

At this moment, the war has reached the point of no return.
