Wan Yanzhang no longer gave orders, but just looked ahead.
At the moment, it is useless to give orders.
The soldiers didn't have to shout, and the rolling stones, the oil and the arrows were pouring down the city. Except for the city gates, the side walls were not cared for at all.
The Yuan army was full of foot soldiers, and except for the siege vehicles, they did not use other siege weapons at all. There are a small number of catapults, all of which are still in the Chinese army, and there is no sign of pushing them up at all.
Like moths to a fire, they just kept rushing to the gates.
And in this situation regardless of the cost, the Yuan army was only less than ten minutes into the battle, and the siege vehicle had already been pushed in front of the city gate.
The huge wooden hammer of the siege engine slammed into the city gate with a clanging sound.
The Yuan soldiers who were clustered next to the siege vehicle gritted their teeth and pushed the wooden hammer forward again and again, and the Yuan army behind was pulling their bows and returning the color to the Song army in the city.
The stones fell, smashing the heads of the Yuan soldiers to the point of bleeding. But the siege engine was covered with a shield, and the stones could not break it.
In just a few minutes, there were hundreds of Yuan soldiers who fell at the city gate.
There are people who are constantly killed by arrows or stoned, but there is always someone who quickly catches up and pulls the rope and continues to push the wooden hammer.
There were more Yuan troops who fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and they were everywhere, and it was a scene of corpses all over the field.
Qin Han was no longer standing at the head of the city, and walked to the pimple place where arrows couldn't shoot in the distance, and he was holding the book of war and reading it. The noise next to him and the screams of the city didn't seem to be able to hook his heartstrings at all.
In the satellite cottages on both sides, the soldiers did not release arrows to attack the Yuan army.
When Kong Yuan saw this scene, he didn't feel that something was wrong. He only thought that the Song army of the two cottages would wait until the city gate was struggling before releasing arrows to help.
At this time, in front of the south gate of Wuzhou City, the shouting of killing finally sounded. The Yuan army began to attack Shuizhai.
Wan Yanzhang only frowned slightly, not in a particularly hurry.
They planted a hidden pile in front of the water village, and the river channel was not wide, so the Yuan army's big ships could not be deployed, and it was not easy to break through the water village.
In the past ten minutes, there have been more and more corpses of the Yuan army under the city.
The soldiers pushing the siege cart were a little puzzled, because after such a long time, the city gate was still only slightly shaking, but there was no trace of it being knocked open.
Kong Yuan also frowned slightly, and ordered again, "Send another five thousand people to attack the city!" ”
The banner soldiers waved the banner, and five more army formations in the front of the Yuan army attacked the city gate.
Wan Yanzhang just laughed when he saw this, and turned his head to look at Qin Han who was cating in the corner of the wall, and the admiration in his eyes was even greater.
This man is really a genius.
The Yuan army didn't know, but he understood that even if the Yuan army came with tens of thousands of people and no siege equipment, it would be difficult to break the city.
Why?
Because Qin Han had already asked people to seal all the city gates with bricks and stones.
In other words, behind the city gate are bricks, several meters thick. The city gate is just an ornament, and there is a wall behind it, how can the siege vehicle break it?
This seems to be the place where Wuzhou City is dead, but it is actually impregnable. Unless the Yuan army uses the dragon cannon, he will not want to break through the city gate.
But does the Yuan army have a dragon cannon?
It wasn't until more than ten minutes had passed, that the corpses of the Yuan army under the city had been overlapped, as many as thousands, and Kong Yuan finally realized that something was wrong. He frowned, and finally raised his hand and said, "Mingjin retreats!" ”
No city wall could hold out for such a long time, and he was sure that the Song army must have done something at the city gate.
Until now, it has not been possible to open the city gate, which can only mean that this city gate is impossible to break through at all. If you continue to fight, you will only lose soldiers in vain.
Soon there was a sound of gold in the Yuan army.
The soldiers pushed the siege engines back like a tide.
The shouting of killing gradually stopped.
Qin Han, who was in the corner, suddenly raised his head and shouted to Wan Yanzhang: "Order the green dragon and white tiger to release arrows." ”
Wan Yanzhang is now obedient to him, and when he heard this, he hurriedly gave an order to the banner soldier next to him.
The flag is raised, and the drums are sounded. Countless soldiers jumped out of the cottages on both sides, and they drew their bows and shot towards the defeated Yuan army.
This caused the Yuan army to suffer countless losses.
In addition to the scattered corpses on the avenue in front of Wuzhou City, there are bright arrow feathers everywhere.
When the Yuan army besieging the city finally ran back to the front of the Yuan army's big array and lined up again, it was already more than half of the loss, and there were always seven or eight thousand people.
Although Kong Yuan had been mentally prepared, he was also a little unhappy when he saw such a big loss. Mainly because there is nothing to do at the city gate, these thousands of people, except for consuming a lot of stones and arrows of the Song army, can be said to have not achieved an inch.
The scouts of the former army hurriedly came back to report that the gate of Wuzhou could not be breached.
Kong Yuan just nodded and said, "Well, Ben will already know." ”
After that, he pondered for a long time before he said: "The catapult is a hundred steps close to the city and attacks the city wall." ”
A certain lieutenant general who stayed next to him was a little stunned, and said: "General, you have already thrown a catapult to attack the city, how can this break the city?" ”
Kong Yuan said lightly: "The Song army consumes our troops, and we can naturally consume their troops as well." If it is not expected, the Song army should have sealed the city gate, we did not bring siege equipment, if we want to break the city, we can only find a way from the water village. His eyes looked over to the water village.
It's just that there are mountains blocking it, and he can hear the sound, but he can't see the situation in front of the water village.
In less than half a pillar of incense, dozens of catapults of the Yuan army were pushed to about 400 meters in front of the city wall, and the stones were thrown towards the city wall.
At this distance, only catapults can hit, even ballistas, and they can't shoot so far.
After Yan Zhang in the city, there was no choice but to order the soldiers to use catapults to fight back. These days they have hoarded countless stones, and the city is full of them, and they are not worried about this consumption.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely eerie.
The two armies faced each other, and they only consumed each other with catapults.
The banners in the Yuan army's large array were blown by the wind, but the army did not move at all.
Qin Han slowly stood up from the corner of the wall and said, "I'll go to the water village to have a look." ”
After saying that, he went to his own business.
Undoubtedly, compared to the city gate, the battle at the water village was much hotter.
The warships of the Yuan army lined up along the river in front of the water village, and the nearest warship was only two hundred meters away from the water village.
The two sides are also attacking each other with catapults, but in addition to catapults, there are also many ballistas. The crossbow arrows of the Yuan army were tied to a red cannon like a fish, and when fired in a volley to the water village, it would make a loud noise and explode, but the power was pitiful, and it was not as powerful as the catapult.
This is because people in this era still do not understand the ratio of gunpowder, and the gunpowder that is prepared is only loud.
In front of the warship of the Yuan army, there were dense wooden stakes, and only the tips that were cut to an extremely sharp point were exposed from the water. These wooden stakes blocked the warships of the Yuan army, and many Yuan soldiers embedded ropes in the wooden stakes, shouting loudly, and pulling them up in unison. The stakes were gradually pulled out of the water, but at a very slow pace.
By the time Qin Han arrived, the warship at the front of the Yuan army had been smashed by a catapult and was about to sink.
Qin Han stood on the water village and watched quietly for a few minutes, then suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
Behind him were endless rivers and mountains, "Five days...... I think it's about the same......"
Even with his talent, he never thought that less than 10,000 soldiers could stop Kong Yuan's army. The destruction of Wuzhou City is inevitable, but it is only a matter of time. Because even if the soldiers could hold on, there were not so many arrows and stones to consume in the city.
It wasn't until this moment, when no one was paying attention to him, that Qin Han's eyes showed a hint of worry, and he was no longer so confident.
It was late in the evening.
In front of the city gate, the Yuan army never attacked the city again, and slowly retreated. The warships of the Yuan army in front of the water village have also retreated a few hundred meters back and no longer attack.
The Song soldiers were already tired, and some people took this opportunity to lie on the ground and fall asleep, even ignoring the corpses next to them.
The Yuan army camped.
In the big tent, Kong Yuan sat at the top, and below were more than ten generals at the level of ten thousand commanders.
Kong Yuan put his right hand on the bookcase, supporting his chin, looking a little dull, "Wuzhou City is solid, do you have a good plan?" ”
If he is given enough time, he will naturally be able to break the city, but at the moment, he can't afford to wait, and Ali Hague in Guangxi may not be able to wait either.
The generals were thoughtful.
In the past, it took about a stick of incense before someone said: "General, is it feasible for us to send elite soldiers to sneak into the mountains and sneak attack the enemy army?" ”
"Wuzhou City is surrounded by city walls, and it is difficult to walk deep in the mountains, and I am afraid that I will not be able to break the city if I send some troops." Immediately there is an interface.
The general said: "The city gate is not good, but what about the water village?" ”
All the generals are slight.
Even Kong Yuan is eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly: "This plan may work, although the mountain is steep, there are people in our army who can walk on the ground." ”
After that, he immediately ordered: "All the worshippers who go to the generals are invited!" ”
There are martial arts experts under Ge Lijun's account, Ali Hague also has them, almost every army has them, and Kong Yuan's army naturally has the same ones.
Although we still don't understand the strategy of special forces in this era, in fact, many branches of the army have begun to take the form of special forces.
On this night, when the night was a little dark, hundreds of people in the Yuan army took advantage of the night to climb the mountain and touched the Song army's water village.
