Chapter 395: Dumbfounded
Up and down the city, when the war drums beat in unison and the horns sounded at the same time, Feng Lun involuntarily glanced up at the east. Because it was at this moment that the sun jumped out of the horizon, and although there was no temperature, it still made him feel warm all at once.
The battle began under the city walls.
Guancheng is surrounded by water on three sides, and the geographical conditions are actually extremely superior, but in this season, the surging river in the past has a thick layer of ice, and the land is no different, more than a month, Wuwei soldiers have crossed the ice many times, and launched an attack on Guancheng.
In fact, the ice surface has become much thinner in the city in more than a month, and in some places, it has even been smashed out of holes by trebuchets above the city.
Today, the Wuwei soldiers are still attacking three and releasing one, and the three troops launched an attack at the same time, and two of them crossed the ice to attack Guancheng.
Feng Lun was originally in charge of the city, originally had 15,000 soldiers, and after more than a month of fighting, he was injured in the battle, frostbitten by the severe cold, and fell ill, so he reduced about 5,000 people, but he still had 10,000 troops in his hands, so that he still had spare strength in the arrangement of troops, and it was naturally not the best choice to defend the city.
Winning outside the city wall, relying on the city wall, and forming a three-dimensional posture of defending the center and attacking is the most correct way to play. A full half of the manpower was placed outside the city by him.
The battle was first launched on the river embankment, which was the first line of defense of the city, the Wuwei soldiers needed to attack from the ice, and the Lulong soldiers firmly occupied the commanding heights, trying to stop the opponent on the ice, as long as the attack of the Wuwei soldiers on their side was frustrated, a large number of people were stranded on the ice, and the crossbowmen and trebuchets on the city wall would cause them great damage.
The trebuchets on both sides kept ringing, although Wuwei's trebuchets were farther, but they were far beyond the Lulong trebuchets installed on the city, and in fact, it was impossible to install a giant trebuchet like Wuwei on the city.
Therefore, Wuwei's trebuchet attacked the city itself, while the Lulong trebuchet, bed crossbow and other weapons above the city head attacked the Wuwei soldiers on the ice.
Feng Lun was looking forward to the fact that these ice surfaces could not support the bombardment of stone bullets, if they could all shatter with a bang and send all the Wuwei ice on the ice into the glacier, it would be the most enjoyable thing.
However, anticipation is always just anticipation, and although some caves appear on the ice from time to time, it is clear that there is still a long way to go before the ice is completely broken.
There was a loud bang in the distance, accompanied by countless screams, and Feng Lun painfully saw that above the city, there was not much trebuchet, and one was smashed by Wu Wei. This is the pain of weapons that are inferior to people, others can still fight you across a river, but you can't hit him.
The feeling of oppression brought about by the hundreds of pounds of boulders falling from the sky, those who are not immersed in the scene, can't experience the horror at all, and they are not one or two at a time, but dozens at every turn. Every time it fell, the city shook violently, and it seemed that it might collapse at any time.
Above the city, except for those strong crossbowmen, Feng Lun withdrew all the other soldiers and horses to the hidden soldier cave, except for the officers, of course, these people must stand at the head of the city. It was these officers who beat the drums of war, including Feng Lun, who stood under his own military flag, holding a drumstick in each hand, beating it vigorously, and he wanted his soldiers to see him every time they turned around.
Beneath the city walls, soldiers from both sides collided with each other.
Liang Han rushed at the forefront, he always had this fighting style, as soon as the battle started, he shouted and rushed with me, and at the same time, he rushed forward with a puff of smoke, and his soldiers never caught up with his pace.
Liang Han is such a person, whether it is Gongsun Changming or Li Ze, they can't change him. Gongsun Changming's bitter heart was regarded by him as a whim, and Li Ze's erudition was regarded by him as a feint of anger, and he never took it to heart.
In the end, Li Ze, who was helpless, could only ask the craftsman to create a special armor for this guy, compared to the armor worn by ordinary generals, Liang Han's armor was much thicker, and of course, it was a lot heavier. Fortunately, this guy not only has rough skin and thick meat, but his kung fu is really powerful, although he has twenty pounds more, he doesn't seem to feel any burden.
In addition to the armor, Li Ze also made it difficult for him to get a specially made knife, which was made of the same material as Li Ze's own dragon knife and crane knife, which was really sharpened like clay, and with a different shield, all around this shield were extremely sharp blades, and when wielded, there was no difference from a knife. Of course, this kind of thing, except for people like Liang Han who can play well, other people play children's talk, and it is estimated that they have not hurt the enemy, so they have injured themselves first.
Liang Han ran fast, and he was on the ice, which made him feel very insecure, especially when he saw holes in some places along the way, he ran faster and faster.
Sometimes, he is especially afraid of death, but as soon as he takes on the battle, he becomes an out-and-out madman again.
When he rushed up the embankment, his nearest subordinate was still twenty or thirty paces away from him.
So more than twenty spears around him poked at Liang Han in unison.
Liang Han fell. The whole man shrank under the shield, kicked hard under his feet, and rushed up against the slope, and there was a clanging sound from the shield.
Liang Han roared wildly, the person bounced up from the ground, pushed the spear away, waved the big knife in his hand, and the sound of clattering was endless, and he didn't know how many guns were cut off by him at this moment, and he once again rushed into the crowd on the embankment.
The shield is waving like a windmill, at this time the shield is not a protective weapon, but an out-and-out offensive weapon, when it is really next to death, rubbing to death, the knife in his hand is thrown horizontally, in the blink of an eye, Liang Han will break a gap in the embankment.
It was at this time that his men rushed in.
Liang Han has opened a gap for them.
This is the role of peerless generals on the battlefield. It is also the reason why such characters have a great reputation in the army, because they can always open gaps for their subordinates, so that their chances of survival are greater.
The city wall was still desperately attacking the Wuwei follow-up troops on the ice, but more Wuwei soldiers had already rushed to the embankment and started hand-to-hand combat with Lu Longbing under the city wall.
On the other side, Wanfu fought decently, and until now, the two sides are still fighting on the embankment.
The only piece of land facing the city wall was the onslaught of Cao Xin's Chinese army under the command of Li Tao, which consisted of Li Tao's Zhaozhou soldiers and Cao Xin's own Yizhou soldiers. There are more people, and the combat effectiveness is stronger, and Li Tao himself is even more brave and brave to be the first, rushing to the front.
The two sides fought fiercely until the afternoon, Li Tao and Liang Han took the lead in making a breakthrough, and the Lu Long army in front of them could not resist, so they could only walk around the city wall and retreat in the direction of Xicheng, where there was no enemy army.
Whether Liang Han was not Wanfu or Li Tao, he did not chase the enemy, on the contrary, after gaining the advantage on the battlefield, countless government soldiers immediately poured up from their rear, and these government soldiers were not holding weapons in their hands, but carrying logs and planks.
Then, under the rain of arrows above the city, they nailed the logs to the ground, covered them with planks, and finally fastened their iron shields to them.
In less than half an hour, outside the walls of the city, a large enclosure of wood and shields was formed.
At this distance, the trebuchet on the head of the city has been unable to attack these wooden enclosures less than a hundred steps away from the city wall because of the shooting angle, and although the crossbow arrows are powerful and heavy, this wooden enclosure is stamped with a shield, and the back is marked with a pillar, forming an organic whole, and the crossbow arrows may be able to break some of them, but they cannot shake the whole, and these broken surfaces will soon be filled by the Wuwei soldiers.
And the Wuwei crossbow machine that moved across the river also began to suppress and shoot at the top of the city, and after this earthen enclosure, the crossbowmen of the Wuwei soldiers sat cross-legged on the ground and shot waves of crossbow arrows on the city.
There are not many Wuwei archers, but there are a lot of crossbowmen, and every soldier will receive special training in this area after enlistment, put down the sword, lift the crossbow, and these people are crossbowmen.
Feng Lun was very confused, because under the city, the Wuwei soldiers actually had the upper hand, and they even suppressed the head of the city to be unable to effectively attack the bow and arrow below, but the other party didn't seem to plan to attack the city, and they didn't even have a cloud ladder. Could it be that the other party is ready to use this wooden fence to surround the city?
As long as he relieved himself, he organized the troops to fight out of the city again, and it was not difficult to destroy this wooden enclosure.
The soldiers behind the Wuwei armor were still carrying things back and forth, just behind the wooden fence, they began to assemble some strange things, and some people actually brandished pickaxes and began to chisel the ice.
Eventually, a few of the assembled ones showed their true colors. Feng Lun was dumbfounded, and what Wu Weibing assembled seemed to be a water dragon.
How can Feng Lun be unfamiliar with this thing of water dragons, in big cities, they are equipped with special faucets, and they are engaged in fire extinguishing work. It's just that Wuwei's water dragon looks a little weird, a few sizes bigger than the average water dragon.
Could it be that Cao Xin wants to flood the city?
That's too whimsical, isn't it?
