Chapter 309: Ascending the City
The city tower was bombarded by the concentrated fire of the thieves and began to collapse, and the rocks and beams fell, making the officers and soldiers guarding the gate and the people transporting war preparations panic and flee for their lives.
Chang Yu came on horseback, glanced at it, heard the sound of artillery and explosions in the city, and knew that Li Zicheng had smuggled the artillery to this side, and concentrated his firepower to suppress the officers and soldiers in the city.
In addition to the whistling shells, there were also dense rockets falling like torrential rain, and in just a few steps, Changyu had already been hit by a few arrows, and the war horse was also injured.
Turned over and dismounted and ran straight to the city, hearing the screams rising and falling with each other, it can be seen that the officers and soldiers in the city suffered heavy casualties at this time.
"Factory ......" came from behind Hu Ling's call.
"Don't scream" Chang Yu was angry in his heart, and couldn't help shouting angrily, but suddenly heard a miserable scream, and Hu Ling behind him fell to the ground, originally hit by a stone.
"Hu Ling" Chang Yu hurriedly ran over to check, and saw that Hu Ling was hit on the head by a stone, and although he was protected by a helmet, he still fainted with blood on his face.
Chang Yu's breathing became short, he looked back at the city, then at Hu Ling, and gasped and said to a few guards: "Send it for treatment quickly."
"Factory Father, You ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu can't die" Chang Yu shouted angrily, and several guards hurriedly carried Hu Ling towards the city.
Chang Yu got up, raised his hand to grab a sharp arrow that was galloping by, snapped one hand and broke it, and ran towards the city with his legs.
Niu Yong on the city is roaring heart-rending to arrange the defensive camp, the thief army in order to cover the soldiers to the city, concentrated all kinds of firepower to suppress the city, cannonballs hit the outer wall of the city wall from time to time, blast a large area of ice, or fall on the city wall to cause casualties among officers and soldiers, these shells have solid bullets, there are flowering bullets, although the power is not comparable to later generations, but the lethality is also incomparable in this era, at this time the thief army concentrated all the artillery to suppress here, and the space on the city is narrow and crowded, once a cannonball falls into it is a dead and wounded.
In addition to artillery suppression, countless rockets and flying stones, like scattered flowers, also made the officers and soldiers in the city embarrassed.
Listening to the sound of artillery, the thieves had at least six artillery pieces outside the Great South Gate, and at this time, all the artillery of the officers and soldiers was on the side of the southeast corner tower.
In terms of the density of flying stones, there are at least fifty trebuchets, not to mention flying arrows, thousands of archers are indispensable.
Li Zicheng's tactics were very clever, there was thick ice as armor outside the southern city wall, and it was not easy to climb the ladder in autumn, so he concentrated his firepower to suppress the soldiers who approached the city wall to climb the city.
And the officers and soldiers on the Great South Gate City were indeed suppressed at this time, first, some of the troops had just been transferred, and the second was caught off guard, although the attack was fierce before, but it was still under control, who would have thought that suddenly, the offensive of the thief army without warning changed from turbulent to stormy in an instant.
The huge waves hit like a tsunami, and the officers and soldiers in the city were flooded by the tide in the blink of an eye......
"Use fire oil, use fire oil ......" Chang Yu roared loudly, at this time the officers and soldiers were pressed by the fire of the thief army, and it was difficult to organize an effective defense and counterattack, and the thief army was taking the opportunity to start landing the city, the most effective tactic at this time was to use fire to stop the thieves who landed in the city first, and then establish an effective counterattack position.
"My lord, the oil has been used up" Niu Yong saw Chang Yu coming, and let out a sigh of relief, the previous few bigwigs were not in the city, if something happened to the south gate, his head would be handed over.
"Explosive thunder, explosive thunder......" Chang Yu shouted again, the reserve of fire oil is limited, it has been used to prevent the thief army from ascending the city, and there is not much left, but fortunately, there is a lot of explosive mine reserves, which is due to the fact that Chang Yu deduced that the Great South Gate had made the first preparations for the main attack point of the thief army.
At the sound of an order, the originally embarrassed soldiers hurriedly found the explosive mine and threw it down, and then the explosions under the city continued......
"Immediately go and give the order, transfer all the guns to the south, and find the thief artillery target for Lao Tzu to bombard......"
"The archers suppress the rear, the throwers seize the battlements, and the swordsmen and axes guard against the thieves from landing the city......" Chang Yu's voice was almost hoarse, and he ordered to start organizing the defense.
However, under the suppression of the concentrated firepower of the thief army, the counterattack on the head of the city was difficult to achieve for a while.
At this time, Zhou Yuji had already hurried over, and Chang Yu hurriedly greeted him when he saw him: "The firepower of the general army of Zhou's thieves will focus on attacking this section, covering the thieves to enter the city here, our troops should not be concentrated here, you can immediately organize archers to suppress them on the flank."
Zhou Yuji was able to understand at one point, and at this time, he transferred his troops to the firepower strike point of the thief army to counterattack, and only increased casualties, so it was better to attack from the outside of his firepower, so he ordered his subordinates to start organizing manpower.
"How's the battle going in the east?" Chang Yu asked again.
"The offensive is unabated, I never thought that the thieves would have three main attack points, and they are really calm!" Zhou Yuji's face turned pale.
"It is impossible to have three main attack points, he doesn't have so many troops, he can't spread out such a big stall, he will inevitably withdraw one main attack point, since the offensive in the east is not reduced, it is Xicheng Zhenwumen" Chang Yu turned his head and looked west.
"Niu Yong organized men and horses to attack from the west side," Chang Yu shouted again.
At this moment, Tu Yuan and others rushed from under the city covered in blood, and Chang Yu greeted them: "Where are the people?" ”
"I'm coming" Tu Yuan gasped, glanced at the outside of the city, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Damn, there are so many people"
"How's the Xicheng Offensive?" Chang Yu hurriedly asked.
"Rest! Suddenly it stopped," replied the iron pillar.
"Stopped, stopped?" Chang Yu was stunned.
"That's not true, but the offensive has obviously weakened," Jia Waixiong said.
Chang Yu sneered: "That's natural, Ximen is a thief, since he has completed the scheduled task, of course he has to draw it back, the three main attack points, he doesn't have that ability!" ”
Of course, he also knew that if Li Zicheng really had the ability to lay down the three main attack points, he might not be able to block it.
While he was talking, a large number of people poured into the city, but they were previously transferred from the north city to support the east and west wings, and now they were directly pulled to the south gate to make an emergency.
Chang Yu was even a little fortunate at this time, fortunately he had pre-transferred men and horses from Beicheng before, otherwise how could he have transferred reinforcements so quickly in such a hurry.
"The thief army has landed in the city" At this moment, Jia Waixiong shouted, and everyone turned their heads to look in shock, and sure enough, they saw that a thief turned over and entered the city, brandishing a steel knife and slashing at a thrower.
The thrower was in a hurry and could not dodge, and the main man had no weapon in his hand, and in the blink of an eye he was cut down by the thief, and at that moment several more thieves came to the city.
The first thief made a successful move, brandished a steel knife and slashed at an officer and soldier, but suddenly a knife flew and stabbed him in the face, and then planted the city, but he was killed by Chang Yu, who was in a hurry.
"Fuck it" Chang Yu threw a knife to kill the thief, then snatched a steel knife from an officer and soldier next to him and threw himself towards the city wall.
"Kill his mother" Tu Yuan, Jia Waixiong, Tie Zhu and others, stared at him with blood-red eyes and rushed over.
The suppression of the fire of the thief army played a role, and a large number of thieves began to enter the city, and then the firepower was immediately transferred to other places and began to suppress the officers and soldiers in the city in an attempt to expand the battle line of the city.
With a large number of thieves landing in the city, Chang Yu took the lead in joining the bloody battle, waving the steel knife in his hand non-stop, such a small space, there is no skill at all in hand-to-hand combat, relying on great strength and bravery.
Fierce hand-to-hand combat began in this section of the Great South Gate Tower, and a steady stream of officers and soldiers reinforcements poured in from the city to join the battle.
In addition to the officers and soldiers under the city climbing towards the city like ants, there are still some people who are clearing the obstacles at the city gate: that is, the mountains of corpses and rocks, trying to open a passage for the cars to pass through and hit the city gate.
Looking at the tragic battle in front of him, Zhu Xianxuan stood in a corner of the city tower with a knife, his eyes were a little dull, and he kept muttering: "What about this king's family, what about this king's family?"
I don't know if this thing was scared stupid, or because Jiading was not by his side and didn't have the courage to enter the battle, and his Jiading was defending against the enemy in Dongcheng at this time.
"Lord Jin? But the prince of Jin ......" At this moment, an old voice came from the side, and Zhu Xianxuan turned his head to look at it, but it was Cai Maode, only to see that his face was covered with blood, and he was still wearing bandages on his head, and he felt like a gossamer under the support of several family members, and he felt that he could fall down at any time.
