Chapter 1477: The Last Battle of the Han Banner World (167) Years Ago (II)
At night, without a moon, the gate of Shannan County quietly opened a crack, and a person wrapped in a white cloak flashed out, bent his waist, and walked forward silently, behind him, there were also a team of Qin soldiers wrapped in white cloaks. In order to cover this attack, Fan Zhang used almost all the white cloth in Shannan County.
Kill their artillery, this is Fan Zhang's idea, otherwise if he continues to bombard like this, sooner or later the confidence of the Shannan County soldiers will be completely lost. Fan Zhang felt that now was a good opportunity, for several days in a row to continue to attack Shannan County and the Qin army in the pass had no power to fight back, now the Han army must be arrogant, tonight there is no moon, the wind is strong, the weather is extremely cold, it is an excellent time for a night attack, as long as a successful blow, it can greatly boost morale.
The towering snow platform in front blocked the Han army's camp, and behind the snow platform was a cannon wrapped in felt clothing. Zhu Qiang lay on the snow, trying his best to keep his eyes open in the wind, staring at the artillery that had brought them heavy casualties in the past few days, in addition to the saber, he also carried an explosive bag in his arms, roughly estimated the distance, and then climbed forward about a few dozen meters, he could ignite the explosive bag and throw it at those batteries.
Licking his lips nervously, Zhu Qiang slowly crawled forward. The soldiers behind him lined up and followed him closely, and some of the people who climbed in front were commandos with explosive bags, and behind them were the soldiers who were preparing to assault the Han camp after the explosion.
Forward, and then forward, the fort became bigger and clearer in Zhu Qiang's eyes. His hand reached forward and grabbed into the snow on the ground, and suddenly a sharp pain came, and Zhu Qiang's heart sank in an instant. Almost at the same time, almost all the soldiers who climbed forward on the same line with him encountered the same situation, and some soldiers couldn't help but scream in a low voice, and what made Zhu Qiang's soul fly was not the injury on his hand, but at the same time as the drama came from his hand. On the snow in front of him, an extremely thin rope suddenly flicked up, and a crisp sound of bells in the quiet snowy night, but it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which made Zhu Qiang feel desperate.
With a loud roar, he leapt to his feet and lunged forward, striking him with flint as he ran.
The crisp sound of the horn unique to the Han army came from the front, and on the snow platform in front, rows of Han soldiers appeared. Arrows rained down, and behind the artillery position, the Han army in white cloak like the Qin soldiers poured out, the arms in their hands were raised, and the howling sound sounded endlessly, shooting the attacking Qin troops to the ground one by one.
More Han troops poured out, and the Shenji crossbow also appeared, and the grenades thrown from the high snow platform exploded violently, and the explosive bag on Qin Jun's body was detonated. The tremendous power of the martyrdom blasted some Qin soldiers to pieces.
Zhu Qiang was hit by an arrow in the leg and fell heavily to the ground, and the flint in his hand also fell to the ground. He looked desperately at the increasing number of Han troops in front of him, the artillery positions were no longer visible, his mission could not be completed, he could not go back.
He struggled to crawl forward. Finally picked up a torch thrown down by the Han army, gritted his teeth, and lit the explosives bag in his hand. Enduring the severe pain in his legs, he jumped up and ran forward, he wanted to rush closer, so that he could throw the explosive bag in his hand at the Han army in front of him, and he could find a few pads to carry when he was dying.
On the snow platform, a feather arrow flew with a whizz, accurately hitting Zhu Qiang's chest, he leaned back with a thud, and fell to the ground again, and the explosive bag also fell on him, he looked up at the snow platform, where there was a tall figure, who was looking at him coldly.
With a bang, it's all over.
On the top of the county tower, Fan Zhang knelt on the cold ground in pain, and failed, and the opponent didn't even give them a chance, as if they had expected that they were going to attack at night.
Under the city, the soldiers of the Qin army were fleeing back, behind them, the Han army shouted and chased, the artillery in the distance ripped off the felt clothing, and with an order, the muzzle of the cannon spewed out tongues of fire, and these cannons had been in a state of readiness.
"Close the gates, close the gates!" Fan Zhang shouted.
"Be careful!" One of his own soldiers pounced and crushed Fan Zhang under him, and a violent explosion sounded in his ears, and the artillery shells came to the city again.
The city gate slammed shut, and the Qin soldiers who had fled back banged on the thick city gate in despair. But inside the door, there was no movement. Hearing that the city gate was closed, and the soldiers in the city braved the dense artillery fire, transferred the winch, and put the jack gate down again, Fan Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief. With both hands, he wanted to get up, but the pro-soldier who was pressing on his body didn't move, but a hot current flowed down Fan Zhang's neck, pushing the soldier aside hard, Fan Zhang found that the soldier's back was embedded with fragments of several shells.
He got up and watched the Qin soldiers who couldn't enter the city turn around and pounce desperately at the Han army who were chasing after him, he hissed and roared, "Crossbow arrows, crossbow arrows." ”
The Qin army emerged from behind the battlements, braving artillery fire, desperately firing crossbow arrows and throwing grenades at the city.
After the position of the Han army, the horn of retreat sounded. The Qin army under the city was slaughtered, and the Han army also paid hundreds of lives.
The artillery in the distance was still firing, and from time to time there were explosions above the city. Fan Zhang sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the corpses of the soldiers lying down under the city under the firelight, wanting to cry without tears.
As the sky grew brighter, the situation between the city wall and the Han army's position became clearer, the snow on the ground had been stained red with blood, and everywhere there were broken arms and limbs scattered on the ground after the explosion, and the soldiers in the city looked down at the tragic situation under the city, all trembling and their faces were pale.
In the distance, the drums of war sounded, and more Han soldiers came into view, only this time, along with these soldiers, there were dozens of towering siege towers, each of which was slowly moving forward by hundreds of soldiers.
Fan Zhang looked at these moving giants in the distance, with a helpless look in his eyes, the Han people are rich, as we all know, their siege towers are also built differently, and the situation inside the towers is not clear from the outside, because his outside is covered with a layer of armored iron plates, from top to bottom, extending to the ground, and the soldiers pushing the towers are hiding inside, looking at it from the outside, it seems that these siege towers are moving by themselves.
Dozens of these towers were moving at the same time, and the oppression of the city was extremely extreme, and it was either a heavy trebuchet or an explosive bag that could destroy it.
"Order all trebuchets to prepare." Fan Chang took a deep breath, and the general attack of the Han people began.
The throwing machines in Shannan County were arranged behind the city wall, and they were less affected by the artillery attacks of the Han army, but Fan Zhang knew very well that when these throwing machines fired, their location was no longer a secret to the Han army, unlike the artillery of the Han army, which could move at will, the throwing machines in Shannan County were huge in size, and after being fixed in one place, it was difficult to move.
In the sound of drums, the siege tower of the Han army moved slowly, mixed with their unique horn sound, a cannon powder bag flew over the city wall with a little spark, and fell to the siege tower that moved in the distance, with a loud bang, it exploded a few meters in front of a building platform that protruded in the forefront, the huge tower shook violently, and the soldiers inside shouted together, and they were stuck at the bottom of the tower, if the tower was blown over, the soldiers behind the tower would suffer.
"Artillery cover!" The commander of the Han artillery shouted, and several artillery pieces moved slowly under the control of the gun commander, and could not see the enemy's throwing machine, so he could only guess the approximate distance from the explosives bag that had just flown out.
There was an exclamation from inside the city, and the first salvo of these cannons was actually blinded, and one of the shells was very lucky, and hit the pillar of the huge throwing machine, and with a bang, the behemoth collapsed with a clattering sound.
"Cover the shot!" The artillery commanders were unaware of the results of the battle, and they knew very well that the explosive packets must not be allowed to fall on the towers.
The siege tower was getting closer and closer, and the throwing machines in the city didn't care if they would reveal their position, desperately throwing out the explosives bags one by one, and then collapsed in the salvo of artillery outside the city.
Outside the city, a siege tower was unfortunately hit, and several explosive bags hit him in unison, and the iron armor hanging outside was blown up all over the sky, and the entire tower was overturned to the ground. The collapsed building was even more smashing and killing countless soldiers in the rear.
He Lanxiong didn't take a step to look at the battle situation in front of him, at this moment, there were hundreds of death squads with skis on their feet, and each of them was covered with grenades.
"For the big man!" He Lanxiong walked up to them and gave them a bowl of wine with his own hands, "You can go with confidence, in the future, your father and mother will be my He Lanxiong's father and mother, and I will take care of them for you." Please. ”
"For the big man!" A bowl of spills fell to the stomach, one by one the porcelain bowls were shattered, and a Han army officer in the lead turned around and strode towards the height of the snow platform, behind him, hundreds of daredevils divided into several teams and walked to the snow platform that had been built before.
"For the big man!" The officer stood on the highest point, then put his hands firmly on the ground, and quickly slid down the steep slope, the whole speed became faster and faster, and through a U-shaped groove, he soared into the air and flew towards the top of the city wall.
The soldiers of the Qin army on the city wall looked up at the sky one by one, and watched in amazement as the Han soldiers flew suddenly from the sky like heavenly soldiers. (To be continued.) )
