Sixty-five Blood and Fire
Thanks, you mean you want to play with book friends' tips.
.......
The moat turned bloody.
In the rain of arrows in the city, the living lives turned into corpses. Then, along with the sandbags, they were thrown into the moat, and the waves bloomed.
It's just that the sandbags are sinking, and the corpses are floating.
But the people and the people are still under the coercion of the Yuan army, one after another.
"How many rounds of arrows have you shot at the head of the city?"
Under the city, in the big tent of the Yuan army, he asked in a deep voice.
The general next to him replied, "Back to the prime minister, a total of sixteen rounds!" ”
Tokhtaku thoughtfully, "The river is nearly three zhang wide, and the bow is full of sixteen rounds, and the archers of the anti-thieves should be tired!" ”
Indeed, Zhu Wu didn't use artillery, and the cannon couldn't hit mosquitoes. The rain of arrows at the head of the city has slowly thinned out, and the frequency is getting slower and slower each time.
"Beat the drums!"
Tokhtar suddenly stood up and looked at Gaoyou, "Siege!" ”
Knock knock knock~~
In the large array of the Yuan army, the war drums suddenly rose, and accompanied by the sound of the horn of the attack, the crowd was crowded.
"The Yuan army is about to attack the city!"
Zhu Wu's fingers clasped the city wall fiercely, and he sneered when he saw the banner of the Yuan army under the city change.
"Tokhta, see how many of you are dead!"
"Chief, the trebuchet of the Yuan Army!"
Looking at Hua Yun's fingers, in the position of the Yuan army, more than a dozen huge trebuchets were pushed and pulled to the front of the battle.
Immediately afterwards, the Yuan soldiers began to fix it with a big hammer, and there were carriages pulling boulders from behind.
"Artillery ready!"
"Toto, you're lagging behind!"
In Zhu Wu's sneer, the gunners of the Dingyuan Army skillfully controlled the artillery at the head of the city.
"Yang Gao Liu, full of medicine!"
Clang! Clang!
This is the sound of a hammer striking a mat on a battle underneath the barrel.
There are twelve heavy cannons at the head of the city, all of which are huge cannons made by Jinling craftsmen, two or three thousand catties, and the firing range can reach two miles.
At the same time, the trebuchets under the castle seem to have been prepared.
"Put!"
Bang!
In the tremor of the cracked rocks, the artillery at the head of the city let out a loud roar.
Be the first to fire.
But.......
The imaginary image of the trebuchet falling apart and disappearing does not appear.
Several huge projectiles passed by the side of the trebuchet and smashed directly into the infantry of the Yuan army, directly smashing the waiting infantry phalanx into a bloody gap.
"How?"
Zhu Wu turned around and scolded, how many times he rehearsed, and dropped the chain at the critical moment.
Twelve huge cannons fired a salvo, but they didn't hit!
The officers in charge of the artillery were red-faced and punched at the gunners.
"Again, reload!"
As soon as Zhu Wu finished yelling, the whole person was pulled aside by Hua Yun.
"Be careful, sir!"
Hua Yun protected Zhu Wu with his burly body.
There seemed to be countless meteors falling in the sky, which were the trebuchets of the Yuan army, firing stone projectiles.
Bang bang bang!
There was the sound of broken masonry everywhere, and many Dingyuan soldiers who were not in a hurry to avoid it suddenly broke their tendons and fractures.
Then, the trebuchets under the city continued one after another.
Artillery, after a round of misses, was actually suppressed by a trebuchet.
A small mistake on the battlefield will cost you blood.
"Hurry up, don't let their artillery go off again!"
As everyone knows, the detachment at this time is even more terrifying.
The Zhu thief's artillery was able to hit so far, and the projectile that hit the infantry formation just now directly took dozens of lives.
The trebuchet was throwing, and the foot soldiers of the Yuan army pushed the pontoon bridge to the moat like crazy.
The pontoon bridge is topped with wooden planks, folded, fully open, and has a length of more than ten zhang. Under the bridge are wheels, which the soldiers can push forward.
When the pontoon bridge reached the edge of the moat, the Yuan sergeant opened the folded plank and pushed it away with all his might. At the same time, the soldiers on the side kept throwing counterweights into the moat.
The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, especially in war, to the extreme.
Trebuchets suppressed the cityheads, pontoon bridges crossed the moat, and foot soldiers attacked the cities directly, or crossed the river with ladders.
Moreover, there was more than one such pontoon bridge, and several households at the same time, three pontoon bridges were erected when the artillery at the head of the city was dumb fire.
"Put!"
Bang!
Rumble!
The large and small artillery at the head of the city spewed fury between the fire of the trebuchet.
The condescending projectile hit the crowd directly, the fresh life turned into residue, and a pontoon bridge that was about to be built was torn apart.
"Aim for the trebuchet!"
Rumble!
Bang!
The heavy artillery at the head of the city fired another salvo, and the three huge trebuchets collapsed under the blow of the projectile.
"Come again!"
Zhu Wu ignored the dissuasion of the people around him and stood at the head of the city and shouted.
"Let the Yuan army know, what the hell is called a long-range strike!"
Rumble!
Artillery roared.
The trebuchets of the Yuan army under the city are finished, and the war horses that pull the stones and the soldiers who control them either flee in a hurry or become flesh and blood on the ground.
"Fire oil ready!"
On the pontoon bridge that had been erected by the Yuan army, countless soldiers were killed, and rudimentary ladders were erected under the city walls.
There were also many Yuan troops, holding shields at the gate of the city, using battering rams, frantically ramming.
However, all in vain.
There were no trebuchets to attack the walls, and they were completely exposed to the attack of the defenders of the city.
Crash!
On the city wall, in huge iron barrels, boiling hot oil and dung water poured down like a waterfall.
"Ahh
The Yuan soldier who was drenched screamed in pain.
"Ignition!"
With the officer's order, the torch was thrown.
Whew!
In an instant, the Yuan soldiers and soldiers in the city who were crowded together turned into clusters of burning flames.
The sky is clear, and the earth is hell.
This is just a microcosm of siege warfare.
Zhu Wu is located at the north gate of Gaoyou City, the east gate of Gaoyou, and the other line of officials and troops are also fiercely attacking.
The same routine, trebuchet plus pontoon.
Feng Guoyong, who was in charge of the city wall of the East Gate, and the Feng Sheng brothers fought back in the same way.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
I don't know how long later, the sound of metal banging came from the position of the Yuan army.
Mingjin withdraws his troops.
The remaining Yuan soldiers, ignoring the dead and wounded robes, fled along the pontoon bridge in disarray.
On the ground, in the river, there were all the corpses of the Yuan army.
It's not that the Yuan army is weak, in this era, the cities of any country can't stop such an attack.
Trebuchets swept the city, slammed the gates, and climbed the walls.
It's just that Zhu Wu's concept of war does not belong to this era.
But he knows that this is just the beginning.
There are 600,000 enemies, and they will be like waves of the sea, wave after wave.
However, Zhu Wu also firmly believes.
No matter how big the waves are, there will be times when the waves are calm.
..........
"The firearms of the Zhu thief are powerful, how to fight this battle, everyone will discuss it!"
In the ornate tent, Tokhtar said to his generals.
Today's siege time is very short, but as long as anyone who knows how to fight, he understands that this is a war, and it is throwing human lives into the water.
"The fire of the Zhu thief is very strong, let's pick a rainy day project, I don't believe that it doesn't rain!"
"Yes, tomorrow we will catch more people and fill the river!"
"Simply, bypass Gaoyou and go directly to Jinling!"
The generals of the Yuan army were gossiping, and the more they took off, the tighter their brows became.
Nothing else, bypass Gaoyou to attack Jinling.
Do you have a brain?
The naval warship let Zhu Wu eat it all up, how to go around?
"Prime Minister, don't we also have artillery?"
Senator Gong Bopu opened his mouth and said, "On the day of the Ministry of Industry's test gun, the lower officials also went to see it. It's really the sky falling, and the power is amazing.
Our artillery was rolled out and aimed at the Gaoyou City Gate. Directly blasted away, and the soldiers rushed in from the pontoon.
The prime minister has an army of 600,000, how many people is he Zhu Wucai? ”
"I'm afraid, as soon as our cannon shows up, the cannon in the city will come over!"
Totoku smiled bitterly, "It's ridiculous to say, the court is dignified, there are countless skilled craftsmen, and the firearms made are not as good as the thieves." Ridiculous, ridiculous! ”
said, stood up, and looked at the generals, "But Bo Pu is right about one thing, we have 600,000 soldiers and horses, how many is he Zhu Wucai?"
Tomorrow, if you attack the city on three sides, you don't believe that you can't attack Gaoyou City! ”
