Chapter 554: Siege (6)

(Ah Cao confused Han Cheng and Feng Yi, but it's not easy to change, the following plot Han Cheng and Feng Yi will return to their positions.) )

The caravan as tall as a wooden tower finally appeared on the battlefield, because the drawbridge had been cut down, and the crash car had a place to come.

At the beginning of the day's siege, the besieging army went berserk, no longer caring about casualties, and the waves of attacks never stopped.

The siege soldiers are densely packed and almost cover the city wall of Pusaka, and everyone is vying for the lead, each of them is brave, and there is a posture of completing their work in one battle.

It was nearly noon, and the two boarding carts in Dongcheng finally slowly approached the city wall under the pull of oxen and horses, and the defenders in Pusaka City came to the point of life and death.

Big guys like city carters generally don't have much to deal with.

If you want to destroy it, one is to throw artillery, but in a few days of siege warfare, the artillery in the city has long been lost, and the stones are raging in the sky, but it is the enemy's artillery that is repeatedly exerting power, and there is no sound in the city.

Then there is the fire attack, this effect is very unsatisfactory, if you want to burn the city car point, except that you have fuel, the fuel at this time of year will definitely not be.

Then there is the battle out of the city, the enemy army is repulsed, and the city car is demolished.

Countless poles and logs stretched out from the city, trying to resist the approach of the building car, but in front of such a heavyweight monster, they were all mantis arms.

The longer ones, as soon as they come into contact, are either blown off or simply broken, and the shorter ones can't get close to the side of the building car at all.

When the thick wooden plank on the roof of the car was smashed down, there was a loud bang, and it slapped at the battlement at the head of the city, finally revealing the soldiers holding shields and knives in the car......

"Report, hundreds of people in the south city rode out of the city."

"Send an order to Ashina Jihu and let him lead a thousand horsemen to the southern city."

Such a dying struggle, Li Po didn't put it in his eyes, the Pusaka defenders are already turtles in the urn, and going out of the city at this time is purely looking for death, in fact, in Li Po's view, the reason why Pusaka has been able to stand so far, no one has been able to attack the city.

One is indeed a bit steep, and the other is that no one wants to spend troops here, otherwise, the army will go around the city, and with Yao Junsu's little strength, there will be no scum left that has long been wiped out by Li Tang.

The Tang army was not Turkic, and their siege methods were not much worse than their own.

The military order was quickly handed down, and a group of cavalry next to it immediately left the team and went around the south of the city.

"Deliver orders, beat the drums of war, and inform all departments that success or failure is in this move, and those who are the first to enter the city will be meritorious, and those who retreat will be beheaded."

At this point, Li Po didn't think about it, and first broke Pusaka with all his might.

At this time, there was already a loud killing sound above the city, and countless hedgehogs of the city defenders gathered in one place, killing the enemies who poured out of the boarding cars, and the flying arrows were densely packed at once.

The soldiers who climbed the city were also inspired, and they struggled to climb up, and fought fiercely with the defenders.

At this time, there was a shout of killing in the city and under the city.

The stones flew in the sky, the arrows were scattered, and the blood was drunk from time to time with a sharp roar, and the two soldiers fought selflessly at the head of the city, and the figures fell from the city like dumplings, and all kinds of dying screams were mixed together, which was enough to make ordinary people creepy.

At this moment of chaos, Xu Shiji quietly came to the corner of the city wall with five hundred soldiers, and immediately erected a ladder.

This troubled hero who came out of the war-torn land in Henan is no stranger to siege warfare, and the reason why he asked Yuen Long to attack the city at this time is also to watch the city fall soon, and he wants to fight for credit.

He came south with Yuen Long, and gradually gained the trust of Yuen Long, helping him to give advice, and he looked very hard, but Xu Shiji knew that it was the same thing that there were no soldiers and no generals in these years, and what people wanted to see was also a man who dared to fight and kill, without military merits, and he had to be pressed by others wherever he went.

So it is not surprising to bring troops out at this time.

Of course, the cunning of the general of the Henan rebel army was very obvious to him, he did not intend to squeeze around with others in the front, but found a more secluded place, above which was the arrow tower, which was smashed by the cannon.

So the ladder should be longer, and when you climb up, you have to climb a little more, but it doesn't matter, don't look at the imminent destruction of the city, he feels that the defenders are still strong enough, but they have to fight for a while.

At this time, the ladder had been erected, Xu Shiji's face gradually turned hideous, and he was already a little impatient with the stimulation of blood and the sound of fighting, and finally revealed his true face.

Holding the knife tightly, he raised it and waved it a few times above his head, without any nonsense, and climbed the ladder first......

At the corner of the south of the city, five hundred Tang army cavalry ran into the Jin metro cavalry, both sides were prepared, and they were not afraid of the opponent, in the galloping horses, the knights brandished the snow bright ring head knife, staggered in the gallop.

Immediately, a puff of blood sprayed out, screams were continuous, countless figures fell off their horses, the battle of the cavalry has always been short and fierce, when the tall Ashina Ji was still unfinished riding his horse back, there were few Tang troops who could sit on the horse safely and turn back to fight again.

Then they were overwhelmed by the one hundred cavalry guards who rushed through the block, and it is needless to say how elite the Daizhou Iron Cavalry is, it doesn't take much effort to kill these five hundred Tang Army cavalry, and it doesn't take much effort, even if they are all Kansai Xiaoguo, serious royal guards, this is the case.

And these cavalry soldiers obviously came out earlier, even if the tactics are correct, there is no meaning at all, when Li Po's horse infantry army is complete, it is indeed as Li Po thought, people who go out of the city to seek war are looking for death, and sending troops out at this time does bring out the meaning of dying and struggling.

…………………………

"Report, General Wei Chi ordered me to report to the general, the Tang army on the other side of the river has the intention of crossing the river."

Hearing this news, Li Po didn't even blink his eyes, he had a premonition, he just watched sooner or later, if he had more troops, he would definitely let the Tang army cross the river, and then annihilate it under the city.

Now it is not successful, the city is about to be broken, if the Tang army is allowed to cross the river and gain a firm foothold and defend the city, he will not be able to shake such a Puban city in a short time, and there will be a steady stream of supplies sent later, even if he recalls the various departments, it will become a decisive battle with the Tang army under the city of Puban.

In that way, no matter what Li Tang does, for the people under his Li Po rule, the impact will be all-round.

Therefore, his disposition can be imagined, "Send an order to General Zhang Lun and Zhang, let him retreat and reorganize the army, if the Tang army crosses the river, according to the situation, the lieutenant will be late to defend the river beach." ”

"Someone, go and send an order to General Yuwen, and ask him to lead the army to step up the siege of the city."

"Ordered Luo Shixin, lead 2,000 horsemen to the north city, under the jurisdiction of Zhang Lun, if the defenders in the city go out of the city, they can break it."

……………………

The battle of Pujin Qiaotou broke out very suddenly, and the Tang army guarding the beachhead of the Yellow River only repaired slightly, and then rushed onto the Pujin Bridge.

The arrows rose and landed on the bridge, and the Tang soldiers with shields were hit by arrows from time to time and fell into the ice water of the Yellow River, quickly dyeing the river red.

The Tang army's offensive was equally furious, and one by one, the elite of Guanxi who wore heavy armor and came out of the northwest wind and sand, as soon as they survived the rain of arrows, they showed their hideous faces.

Wielding all kinds of heavy weapons, they were the most brave and warlike pro-army guards under the command of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and at the same time, they were also the pioneers of breaking the battle and trapping the city in previous wars.

They showed the martial bravery of the Qin people to the fullest, and the moment they crossed the pontoon bridge and stepped on the river beach, they quickly launched a fierce attack on the Wei Chi Kai troops who were arrayed on the river beach with a team of five.

Since the former Qin, it is the consensus of the people to go out of the Qin land since ancient times, and the brave name of the Qin people is not used to describe too much, especially after the establishment of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Qin people spent nearly a hundred years to sweep the world again, and the prestige has reached a higher level.

Such a historical inheritance, coupled with the chaos in the world, the pride and fierceness of the Qin people came to the peak, when they were in the battle array, what Youzhou foot soldiers, what Henan athletes, what Jin Di strong soldiers, what two Huai elite soldiers, will not be put in their eyes.

A wild howl rang out on the riverbank, and one by one, tall and sturdy figures, draped in heavy armor, crashed into the well-arranged shield wall like a monster out of the wilderness.

Some were directly pierced by spears, some were bounced back by the shield wall and were immediately stabbed by spears, and some broke through the wall directly with brute force.

The battle of the Tang army crossing the river began very suddenly, but it was particularly resolute and decisive, and as soon as it came into contact, it directly passed the prologue and presented the climax in front of people's eyes.

Some people will say that it is too easy to cross the river in this way, but this is the way of war, as long as there is a place on the water and the army crossing the river is strong, it is generally difficult to prevent them from crossing the river successfully.

What the army crossing the river is most afraid of is not being attacked in the process of crossing the river, but how to gain a foothold on the river beach, and the most terrible thing for the army crossing the river is to attack half-crossing.

The Tang army took the elite as the guide, and the fish crossed the river, as if in an instant, on both sides of the Yellow River, the sound of shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth.

The rain of arrows continues to rise on the east bank of the Yellow River, falling on the pontoon bridge, the Tang sergeant on the pontoon bridge falls into the river like an arrow like a dumpling in the pot, and soon there are countless heads floating and sinking on the river surface, some go down the river, some gather near the left side of the pontoon bridge, and the blood flowing out will slowly dye the river red, and the scene is terrifying.

But the people who are alive are still fighting hard......

The thousands of foot soldiers led by Wei Chi Kai were not Xue Ju's righteous army, they were full of government soldiers, and many of them had also faced Liaodong Dongfeng and snow, and they were sharpened and supplemented in various wars in northern Jin.

Their bravery and strength also need not be described too much, their combat experience is actually better than that of the Tang Army, and they are able to perform with ease in the face of the onslaught of the pioneers of the Tang Army......
