1043.Chapter 1043: The Battle for Xiping Mansion
Although the crossbow arrows on the city were sharp, they did not pose a substantial threat to the ladder cart and the goose cave under the city, the Song soldiers could move safely in the passage, climb the internal ladder of the ladder cart and continue to attack the city.
Obviously, Li Liangfu's commanding talent is far inferior to that of reckless courtesy.
Cunli guarded the provincial city with thousands of people, so that Xu Huiyan was extremely cautious, destroying the defense facilities as much as possible, and did not invest in the military project within ten days, but Wu Jie directly entered the topic and came to the head of the cannon, obviously not taking Li Liangfu in his eyes.
Of course, this is also related to the military environment and the character of the generals, the northern part of the province is complex, there are various departments of the grassland and the Jin army, and they are taken advantage of by others if they are not careful.
In addition, there is a certain tacit understanding between the north and the south, since the Jurchens want to reap the benefits, then don't cross the border, the provincial city is obviously the boundary between the two sides, he is attacking the city, and at the same time assuming the responsibility of garrisoning.
When Xiping Mansion arrived at Dahe in the northwest camp of the palace front division, it had lost the significance of the inner defense fulcrum, and there was no need to care about the Xia army's attack on the rear, coupled with the sharp use of troops by Wu Jie, the military law was particularly cruel, and retreating from the battle not only had to be killed, but even Quanshi had to be punished.
The result was obvious, the Song army attacked rapidly, and it was necessary to take it as much as possible, and the large army converged to destroy the last strength of the party members.
Wu Jue's eyes were expressionless, and he watched the offensive and defensive battle at the south gate coldly, seeing that the Song army was fighting quite hard, he was a little impatient.
It's because Gao Ping's speed is too fast, and he directly arrives at the big river, and Yaobin's arrogant posture makes him too stressed. The battle of destroying the country led by the Western Servant Army actually made the front division of the palace get a big advantage, if it was really Gao Ping's gang to arrive in Xingqing in advance, the face of the marshals of the Western Servant Army would be lost!
Qu Duan didn't seem to be asking about the specific affairs ahead, but he was also in the Guantang, secretly and secretly, urging him to take Xiping Mansion quickly.
Due to the continuous transformation of the military, the Song army has increased its technical weapons, and the logistical pressure is also very important, and the daily consumption of resources by his troops is huge.
Just by sweeping the outlying strongholds of Xiping Mansion, these troops consumed a large number of materials, and the pressure of baggage transfer was very great.
South gate, he put more than 10,000 people at one time, more than 30 ladder car baffles opened and fell on the battlements, the Song army officials jumped on the city, the Xia army was also prepared, oncoming was a crossbow arrow shot at close range, many people were shot alive, a spear to this mid-air, some people were stabbed to the heart, planted upside down to the city.
However, there were still many people who struggled to jump down, they started a fierce hand-to-hand fight with the Xia army, covering the followers to continue to fight in the city, a group of people fell, and another group of people came up, and the various breakpoints of the city wall became a meat grinder.
The Song army was also red-eyed, and the arrow tower was directly close to the city wall, just on the bank of the moat, and the soldiers on both sides shot each other with bows, and one fell and the other made up.
More Song army officials, set up simple ladders, or grasp the big arrows nailed to the city wall, and struggled to climb to the city, some people were smashed down by the wood and rolling stones halfway, and some people were poured down under the city by boiling water and boiling oil, rolling and screaming along the ground, but more people still attacked the city head.
The fierce battle continued, the boiling water and oil poured down from the city, steaming on the ground, the fierce flames fluttering in the wind, and the scorching heat drove both sides into madness.
Everyone lost the ability to think, screams, roars, curses, war drums, the creaking of ladder wheels against the ground, the vibrating of bowstrings, the screeching of arrows through the air, the rolling of a catapult, the snorting of cannons flying through the air, the rumbling of slamming on the walls and outside the walls, the earth-shattering explosions of iron shells.
All the voices are intertwined to form a tragic image of purgatory on earth.
Everywhere above and below the city walls, there were the corpses of the battle-dead, and the wounded soldiers could be seen everywhere, and the medical officers and escorts shuttled back and forth, they were the hope of the seriously wounded soldiers, and every appearance represented the possibility of saving lives.
The north gate, also invested nearly 10,000 troops, the main attack is Wang De's Xuanwu army, this is definitely the army of tigers and wolves, what kind of marshal brings out what kind of soldiers, this group of bloodthirsty men, launched an uninterrupted onslaught on the city wall.
In order to prevent the Northern Servant Army from having a word, under the intervention of Qu Duan, the 52nd Brigade Town was assigned to Wang De to attack the city and was responsible for the support of the attacking troops.
Li Shifu calmly commanded the various car battalions, lined up in long teams to suppress the head of the city, each vehicle was equipped with a modified divine arm bow, and more than ten vehicles were equipped with small bed crossbows that could be rotated, and the strike range was very long, which played a strong role in supporting the siege.
"This ruined city has dragged on for three days, and I don't know how the tunnels are dug?" He smacked his lips and nagged dissatisfied.
The chariot soldiers, only in the sports war, can exert the greatest combat effectiveness, and support the infantry under the city wall, which makes him feel very aggrieved. Moreover, he also had to supervise the excavation of tunnels, which made him a little speechless, and he had become a groundhog.
"Taiwei, the two tunnels are close to the city walls, but I am afraid that they will hear the movement, so they dare not dig too fast."
"Smash it hard with a cannonball, and the movement is louder, so that the sound is muffled."
The man rolled his eyes, people are listening to movement in a clay jar buried in the ground, what is the use of you using a cannon bomb to make movement? It should be heard like the sound of underground excavation, and the general, as the lord of the town, would make such a common-sense mistake that makes people speechless.
Just as the battle was hot in front of him, Qiu Yun came to a stockade, and the one who came to see him was Lin Shilang wearing a short shirt.
"I said Shiro, how's it going?" Qiu Yun asked with a big grin.
"Almost, the delivery needs to be very laborious, there can't be the slightest shock, it's up to you." Lin Shilang has been mixed up for many years, although he is still nerdy, he is much better than before, at least he can speak.
"Now the tunnel excavation is almost complete, the laying of wooden rails is basically completed, they are stepping up the final polishing, it is estimated that it will be shipped today, can it be completed today?" Qiu Yun's attitude is very indifferent, but he is very anxious in his heart, there are people dying in battle every moment, he has learned to control the fluctuations of his feelings, but he still has rich emotions, and he can't treat the officials as pawns.
Where did Lin Shilang understand Qiu Yun's thoughts, he also cared about the life and death of the officials, and he couldn't bear more people to sacrifice senselessly, so he thought about it seriously for a moment, nodded and said: "The yellow medicine is almost ready, and it can be transferred in batches, be careful." ”
