Chapter 82 The light of the armor opens to the sun
Chen Yan stood at the head of the city, the expression on his face was still faint, and the sunlight in the sky shone down, shining on the plate armor of the Dang Captive Army.
It seems that the plate armor on the captive army is more and more dazzling!
This may be the magnificence of "the light of the armor opens to the sun".
Boom! Knock knock! Knock knock knock......
The war drums in the Western Xia army outside the city sounded, and the sound of dong dong resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the momentum was majestic and heroic.
With the sound of war drums, the morale of the Western Xia army became stronger and stronger!
Suddenly, the Western Xia army parted a large opening, and a small group of cavalry jumped out of the formation, galloping horses to the city, led by a man in heavy armor.
With a bearded face and a strong figure, riding on a horse and holding a horse lance, he is full of aura, and he is a full battlefield warrior at first glance.
"Who's coming?"
On the side of the Dang Army, Wang Guo shouted loudly.
"I am the Great Xia Sect Richard Goha."
Chen Yan's eyes rolled, Richard brother?
It seems to be the commander of this Western Xia army?!
"The two armies are fighting, I don't know what Marshal Li means by coming here?"
Chen Yan stood up and said loudly, but he was wearing plate armor and face armor, covering himself tightly, and there were dozens of elites of the Swinging Army around him to protect him firmly.
"Ben Shuai wants to see it, that is, who is so bold and reckless, and dares to offend the majesty of my Great Xia Kingdom."
Richard said in a loud voice.
A light smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yan's mouth.
"Haha, there's no need, when Li Dashuai is captured by our army and put into the account, Dashuai will naturally be able to see the true face of this governor."
"Presumably, Governor Chen is also a hero, why hide his head and show his tail?"
Richard Geha was about to arrive, and he felt his head buzz when he looked at the chief of the city who was wearing plate armor and covering himself quite tightly.
It's too tightly hidden, isn't it?!
"Fire!"
Suddenly, Chen Yan burst into shouts, and several sergeants held firearms and pulled the trigger on Richard Geha under the city.
Bang Bang Bang ......
After several gunshots in a row, Richard Goha's face changed greatly, comforted the frightened war horse under his crotch, and quickly evacuated with the guards around him.
"Despicable, the two armies are at war, what kind of ability are you capable of sneak attack?!"
Richard Geha turned his head and shouted angrily at Chen Yan at the head of the city.
Chen Yan twitched the corners of his mouth with disdain, and said in a gentle and friendly voice.
"He's not Richard Goha, have you ever seen a commander who would run to the enemy city to provoke?!"
The many generals of the begging army around Chen Yan nodded one after another.
Richard Geha returned to the Western Xia army formation, knelt in front of a middle-aged man, and said respectfully.
"Dashuai, I didn't see that person."
The real Richard nodded his head, a little unconcerned, he didn't expect to see the man in the first place.
Even if he could, it was the Western Xia army that captured him alive in front of him after he entered the city!
"Command the army to attack!"
"The defenders of Zhehe City will be the vanguard, and they will take back the city they lost."
"No!"
With an order, the Western Xia army began to advance towards Zhehe City, and the heavy troops gathered in the section of the city wall that was blown down by the Dang Captive Army.
The army had only entered the city for less than three days, and there was no time to build the city walls, at most they used cement as a binder and crushed stones to uplift.
Because it was too hasty, and the amount of cement carried by the captives was not much, the quality of the city wall was not up to par at all!
It may be possible to barely defend against a cavalry charge, but if the enemy forces are heavily attacked in this section, it is also possible to enter the city.
Chen Yan stood on the city gate, looking at the advancing Western Xia army, his eyes were full of solemnity, the number of the Western Xia army was more than three times that of the Dang Capture Army and the begging army, even if it was defending the city, not a field battle, Chen Yan felt a great pressure.
This battle is definitely not easy to fight!
"Fire!"
With an order, several cannons placed on the four walls of the Dang Captives opened fire in unison, and a huge roar resounded all around.
Rumble! Boom! Boom Boom Boom ......
One cannon after another came out of their chambers and shot at the advancing Western Xia army formation, leaving flesh/ditches in the dense formation.
The artillery kept firing, the terrifying sound continued to explode, and the horses of the Western Xia army were digging their hooves restlessly.
However, although the movement was very large, the losses caused to the Western Xia army were not much.
Because the Western Xia army was besieging the city on all sides, the artillery of the Dang captivity army was also evenly distributed on the four city walls, and there were two or three artillery pieces on each city wall.
The dense firepower was not enough, so although the movement of the artillery firing was very terrifying, the total losses caused were more than 100 people.
After all, this kind of front-loading smoothbore gun with no technical difficulty is really slow to reload!
Bang Bang Bang! Bang Bang ......
The muskets were also constantly firing free fire, harvesting the lives of the advancing Western Xia army under the city.
The Western Xia army invested nearly 30,000 troops in the first siege of the city, and densely flocked to Zhehe City, especially in the direction of the collapsed city wall.
It brings together nearly half of these 30,000 people!
"Rolling wood! Throw it at me! ”
As the Western Xia army slowly approached the city wall, the cloud ladder was set up on the city wall, and the Dang captives began to fight back with stone rolling wood.
A Western Xia soldier finally climbed to the top of the city, and was met with a rock, and then he was driven down from the city.
A rolling log rolled down the ladder, and a wave could take away several Western Xia soldiers, and the gold juice was poured on their heads, and the hot Western Xia soldiers who were besieging the city screamed.
The skin on the surface of the body is cracked, and the gold juice comes into contact with the flesh and blood, and it is easy to become infected and then die.
But the Western Xia army was not without countermeasures, and the Western Xia soldiers attacked the city with log shields and heavy armor.
The Xixia soldiers under the city desperately bent their bows and arrows to the head of the city, and in the large array of the Xixia army in the distance, the siege crossbows and catapults were throwing the crossbow arrows with the thickness of children's arms, and huge stones were thrown towards the city of Zhehe.
Gradually, the prisoners and beggars defending the city also suffered casualties, and the wounded soldiers were carried down the city with wails and sent to the medical camp for treatment.
"Shocking thunder, release earthshaking thunder to Lao Tzu! Blow up the Tanguts who killed the dogs. ”
An officer of the Swinging Army roared angrily, and his comrade was pierced by a crossbow arrow, unable to even carry the plate armor, and was killed directly on the spot.
The earth-shattering thunder was ignited, and it was thrown from the city in black smoke.
Boom Boom Boom ......
The sound of explosions sounded one after another, and the terrifying shock wave of the earth-shattering thunder explosion swept around, and the iron nails and gravel recklessly harvested the lives of the Western Xia army.
At that section of the city wall that was blown down, the fighting was even more tragic.
Siege crossbows and catapults were also arranged here, firmly blocking the gap.
One after another, crossbow arrows were fired, stringing the Western Xia soldiers into a string, and heavy stones fell from the sky, killing and wounding the Western Xia soldiers, and their brains bursting.
Those Western Xia troops who were lucky enough to not die collided head-on with the Dang army guarding here. The two sides had entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat, and the Swing Army was organized on a small team basis, firmly guarding the gap.
As long as one of the Western Xia troops comes in, one will be killed!
