Eighty-eight sappers
"Your time will pass!"
"The time of my land is coming!"
"Old man Xi said he was the devil, why shouldn't I?"
"I make war simpler, killing more direct, and slaughtering more inevitable!"
Zhu Wu looked at the head of Fancheng from afar and waved his hand.
The Han king's personal guard led Huayun and appeared silently.
"Order, after breaking Fancheng, capture the king of Xiangyang alive Boluo Buhua,"
"No!"
The brave white wolf rode under the banner of the Han king, and the cavalry carried the heads of Chishu and a group of white wolf cavalry, boasting of their martial arts on the battlefield.
The three armies of the Han army were excited, especially on the side of the Hanshui Heights.
was caught off guard by the white wolf rider and the people on the high ground, and Zhao Pusheng, who had two swords, was furious. Since he returned to Zhu Wu, he has been chasing others and beating, when has he been wronged like this.
After the Han army re-prepared, Zhao Pu got up, took off the armor of his upper body directly, held a shield in his left hand, and carried a knife in his right hand.
"Little land, follow me and kill it!"
Behind him, hundreds of men with their sturdy bodies exposed, roared like the sky.
Subsequently, these sturdy men took the lead and rushed forward without fear of death. Soon and the enemy on the high ground was killed.
Zhao Pusheng was brave and diligent, and there was no one with the long knife in his hand, and his body was covered with the blood of the enemy.
The main general is so brave, the soldiers must also sacrifice their lives and forget death, and the first few lines of defense of the Yuan army camp on the Hanshui Heights will collapse immediately.
This is a real life-and-death struggle, and there is no room for any fancy, nor can it tolerate any tricks.
The guards around Zhu Wu were so enthusiastic that they couldn't wait to pull out their knives and cut people.
But Zhu Wu shook his head, being brave is a good thing, but being reckless is not. The Han army has developed to this day, and as the commander of the first army, he should not be so hasty.
The camp of the Yuan army in the Hanshui Heights was completely occupied, and the last barrier in front of Fancheng was gone.
At the same time, the Han army's attack on Fancheng also increased its strength. Artillery, trebuchets, swept away all those who dared to show their heads on the city walls.
The land outside Fancheng, most of which is river beaches, is not suitable for laying tracks and erecting huge siege towers.
Under the cover of long-range weapons, the sappers of the Han army advanced under the city wall, hid in protective vehicles, and frantically dug the city wall.
The people in the city also fought back frantically, and at all times the protective vehicles were broken and the sappers fell.
Long-range cover is not particularly accurate, and sometimes there are even some accidental injuries, and the shells fall in their own piles, let alone trebuchets.
But human life is not valuable, and the core of the sappers is those craftsmen who are militarized, and most of these sappers who dig the walls are captured soldiers.
Only by surviving can you become a real Han army, and if you don't go, you will be dead.
It can be seen that Zhu Wu's heart is actually very ruthless. The most cruel of the Han army was Chang Yuchun, but that guy just loved to kill, and wherever the army passed, the Yuan army that dared to resist was killed.
And Zhu Wu used it first, so that they would die under someone else's knife.
"The direction of the sapper's operation is facing the Hanshui Heights....."
The two commanders of the sappers, Shi Laosan and Zhang Bi, knelt in front of Zhu Wu's war horse and reported the specific steps and directions of the sappers' operations.
In the past, one of these two men was a tomb robber and the other was a well digger.
Zhu Wu hated tomb robbery, once the tomb robbers in the Han Dynasty were caught, the three clans of Yi and Shi Laosan should have been killed when they dug up the ancient tombs of the Jin Dynasty, but Old Man Xi saved him.
Make the best use of things, and tomb robbing is also a profound knowledge. The diggers of the well are good at exploring the soil layer, and the miners are the backbone, and these two people are a perfect match with the sappers and civil engineering.
"After the city wall is dug, the dam in the Hanshui Heights must be built as soon as possible!" As soon as Zhu Wu spoke, his eyes suddenly froze.
"Kill!"
The gate of Fancheng suddenly opened, and a team of military horses came out and went straight to the sappers at the bottom of the wall.
Zhu Wu's Han army was good at attacking cities, and it was no secret that he blew up the city wall.
The king of Xiangyang had already guarded against this hand, and these death squads of the Yuan army ignored the Han army outside the city and the bombardment of artillery, and had only one goal, that is, sappers.
Zhu Wu sneered, "What's the use of killing sappers, just send someone to dig it up after killing it, how many death squads do you have?" ”
This is the gap in ideas, how to dig and how to blast, relying on accurate calculations, ordinary sappers are just human tools.
Besides, it can't be killed, and the Han army has long been on guard.
At this time, the infantry team, which was the main attack on the city wall, was already in front of the Yuan army's death squad.
Zheng Yuchun's fight is much more stable and insidious than Zhao Pusheng.
Bang bang bang!
The arquebus fired two rounds, and the Yuan army daredevils fell like wheat. Then the musketeers ran quickly to the rear.
When the Yuan army death squad rushed over, there were also two people from the Han army who could carry the small shotguns that ran away.
Iron sand, glazed slag, directly beat the Yuan army at the front into honeycomb coal.
At the end, with the sharp sound of suona, there were pikemen lined up in a dense formation, mechanical assassination.
The Han army and the Yuan army have people falling at any time. It's just that the Han army is slowly moving forward like hedgehogs, and the wounded soldiers are pulled aside by their comrades.
And the fallen Yuan army could only watch helplessly, and the knife and axe hand behind the spearmen of the Han army chopped them fiercely.
After a while, these death squads were completely killed by the Han army surrounded by several roads.
At the head of the city, the king of Xiangyang, Boluo, was not blind, and his heart was desolate.
Looking at Xiangyang City opposite Hanshui, my heart was even more desperate. Zhu Wu divided the two cities, and Xiangyang did not dare to come out at all under the surveillance of the Han army, and could not come out.
"Everyone!" Boluo Buhua's voice was a little hoarse, "The Zhu thief is vicious, a great thief who has not been seen in a century, and Fancheng is in danger." However, you must not be discouraged, the imperial reinforcements must be on the way. ”
As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the Prince of Xiangyang carried countless large boxes onto the city wall.
Bang, in front of the soldiers, a box was opened, the gold, silver and jewels of the city were poured out, and the rough scattered city walls made a pleasant sound of gold and jade.
"This is the savings of Xiangyang Palace's hundred years! Today, the king divides with the sons and daughters who defend the city! ”
The wealth was moving, and under the roar of artillery and trebuchets outside the city, the Yuan army at the head of the city breathed a little heavily.
But there are some people, but there is a clear sight in their eyes, if the city is broken, what is the use of asking for so much money. Do you have a life to take it, and do you have a life to spend?
The king of Xiangyang has a treasure knife in one hand and gold in the other, "Sons, as long as you hold the city, this money is yours!" As he spoke, the long knife pointed to the sky, "This king will also fight with you, and he will not retreat an inch on this city wall!" If you die, this king will be with you! ”
This is better than real money.
The soldiers of the Yuan army looked at the king of Xiangyang with warm eyes, and the soldiers were brave, and their morale gradually rose.
But at this moment, a Yuan soldier suddenly pointed to the city, "Someone!" ”
Suddenly, the sound of artillery stopped, the shouting of killing also stopped, and the world was silent.
A war horse came slowly, and immediately a knight, with an iron trumpet, shouted loudly under the city.
"Listen to the Yuan army in the city, the king of Han has an order, Meng Yuan has no way, and the heavens will be the Han Dynasty."
"Those who surrender will not die, and the family and property of the Han army will not move a bit. Resisters, heads on the ground! ”
Bo Luo Buhua listened to the city wall, the Han army and the Taoist cavalry were shouting arrogantly and sneered.
This is not a surrender, but a deliberate blow to the military morale of the Yuan army.
"Bring it!"
Bo Luo stretched out his hand and handed over a hard bow to the side.
At the head of the city, the king of Xiangyang bent his bow and arrows, aiming at the cavalry on his horse.
"The King of Han has an order, if there is a live capture of the king of Xiangyang, Boluo does not spend the first one, reward the Han ten thousand households! A thousand taels of gold! ”
"Go!"
Boro didn't spend a lot of time shouting, arrow meteor.
However, the knight on that horse seemed to have been prepared for it, and at the moment of shooting the arrow, he galloped his horse and was able to avoid the arrow.
"It's a pity!" Bo Luo sneered, "King Ruyi is ten years younger, he will die!" ”
There seems to be some truth in what he said, but the past is the past, and sooner or later it will be eliminated.
Bang!
The heavens and the earth suddenly collapsed, everything trembled, and several soldiers on the city wall fell to the ground in a hurry.
Boro's burly body staggered in a violent tremor.
"The wall is collapsing!"
