Chapter 488: Uptown
The moat of Quanzhou South City is three zhang wide, can be navigated by boat, in order not to leave a foothold for the enemy to attack the city, the distance between the city and the moat will be very close on one side, so that the enemy can not erect siege equipment, but even so the raft is five zhang away from the city wall, and the modern length is about fifteen meters. The distance between pen and fun and pavilion www.biquge.info may not be really much in modern times, and the tower crane on any construction site can do it.
But this is ancient times, it is not easy to find a twenty-meter-long wood in a hurry, and it is not easy to find a few pieces, not to mention to find a few, in desperation, Zhao Hao can only use the lap method to lengthen the two woods, although he has done reinforcement and experiments, but he is still worried that when he lifts twenty people, this long pole will 'click' into two. Therefore, it is impossible to make it too long, and the margin will not be too sufficient, in case there is a little gap, it will be bad vinegar!
"Increase the firing angle and shoot behind the city!" Upon seeing the signal to take position, Yoo so immediately ordered the muzzle of the gun to be raised for the last round of covering fire, and at the same time ordered the soldiers on standby on the transport ship to enter the car and prepare to cross the city.
However, the soldiers, out of trust in the little emperor, did not worry at all, and while the ballista made the final firing, the long end of the 'crowbar' on the raft turned to the conveyor, and the sailors, who had already prepared it, immediately hung the rope from which the car was hung on the hook. When the sailors on the raft saw the signal of success, they immediately pulled the rope to lift the car, and at the same time turned the base to slowly turn the hanging section to the head of the city.
'Bang! The car carrying the officers and soldiers of the Ruifeng Battalion who was on the assault mission landed steadily on the top of the city, and the firing of the ballista also stopped abruptly, with quite a tacit understanding, watching the five cars pass through the city safely, Zhao Hao's heart also fell to the ground, and the real battle had just begun at this time......
The assault mission was carried out by 400 sergeants selected from the soldiers of the Baisha Water Army, who formed the Ruifeng Battalion, which was divided into four capitals, but due to the limitations of the equipment in the upper city, only one capital could go to the city at a time, and they not only had to block the enemy troops who came from the city to the city, but also blocked the enemy troops who came to reinforce the enemy from the east and west cities, so it can be said that they were attacked on three sides. The city wall is the most important facility for the defense of the city, once the city gate is breached or the enemy rushes up the city wall, it means that the city is about to fall, of course, you must fight back desperately, otherwise the enemy army can fully occupy the back of the city wall and develop into the city, and they will have no power to return to the sky. So in a life-and-death situation, the enemy army must be desperate.
"Immediately build a defensive line to stop the enemy army from entering the city!" Lin Yiyuan, the commander of the Ruifeng battalion, was the first to go to the city, and as soon as the car landed, he immediately pulled the trapdoor and rushed out, at this time the city was in a mess, broken bricks and tiles, and the corpses of enemy soldiers killed by ballistas were lying horizontally. Although there was no expected fierce battle, he knew that the enemy observation posts would soon be able to detect that they had entered the city and launched a counterattack, and the immediate task was to form a defensive line as soon as possible to cover the arrival of the brigade.
"That is, use the car as a cover for fortification!" Lin Yiyuan observed that there was no longer anything to use in the city, and he looked at the cars that carried him to the city, these cars were reinforced, and the arrows were difficult to penetrate, which could be used as a cover.
"The archers are divided into the east and west sides, and the grenadiers guard the horse road to cover the follow-up to the city!" At this moment, in order to prevent accidental injury, the ballista has stopped firing, Lin Yiyuan only had time to command the soldiers to arrange the car along the east and west directions into two breastwork, the enemy troops in the east and west cities saw the Song army going to the city, immediately divided into two ways and pounced, and organized the archers to release arrows to the car carrying the second group of commandos, and the enemy soldiers under the city also rushed up from the horse road, wanting to drive them off the city wall, he hurriedly ordered an attack......
"Report to the governor, the Song army broke through the moat and climbed to the head of the southern city!" Pufu House of Worship Temple is made of huge stones, is the strongest house in the house, Pu Shou Geng is worried that the Song army will repeat the old tricks, so this place as a hiding place, at this moment the hall gathered almost all the Quanzhou City officials who survived the air raid, just when they were arguing about where the Song army would be the main direction of attack, suddenly a sergeant broke in and said.
"What?! The South City is lost! Pu Shougeng was taken aback when he heard it, Quanzhou City has also gone through war since it was built, but there has never been an army that can break through the city defense from the direction of facing the sea, so he has always thought that the south direction of the city is impregnable, and the little emperor wants to use the water army to break through the southern city is tantamount to a fool's dream, but he didn't expect it to make the impossible possible.
"How is this possible!" Tian Zhenzi was so shocked that he stood up and sat down, his hands and feet trembled, and his face was pale.
"Nonsense, dare to lie about the military situation and shake the morale of the army, this commander will behead you!" The officials in the hall heard that the city was no better than Pu Shougeng, and their faces were like ashes, they knew what they had done, the Song army would definitely break them into pieces when they entered the city, and the city defense made Xia Jing quite calm, and asked loudly, "Although it coincides with the high tide, the large warships still can't approach the city, and there is no land in front of the city, how can they attack the city, is it flying over?" ”
"General Yu, the Song army did fly over, and they used a long pole to take advantage of our army's efforts to go down to the city to evade, and the soldiers were directly hung on the head of the city!" The soldiers who delivered the letter were frightened, and even made a gesture to talk about the authenticity.
"Can a man be hoisted up to the top of the city with a pole? How many people went up? Xia Jing was also surprised when he heard this, and asked anxiously.
"Yes, general, if the little one is untrue, he is willing to be a military lawyer, at this moment there are about 100 people in the city, and the soldiers defending the city have been seriously injured by the enemy with ballistas, General Chen is leading the troops to fight in the city, please send reinforcements quickly!" The little soldier nodded vigorously.
"General Xia, you quickly bring 3,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce, and take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to expel them from the city, I will quickly ask a hundred slaves to send elite soldiers to help!" Pu Shougeng also calmed down at the moment, he knew that the most important thing at the moment was not to figure out how the Song army got to the city, but to drive the enemy army out of the city, otherwise he would be the first to bear the brunt of the city.
"Yes, Governor, the last general will go!" Xia Jing also knew that the current increase in troops was as fast as possible, and immediately received the order.
"Slow down, inform the generals that there will be a heavy reward for recapturing the head of the city!" Pu Shougeng thought that he must not be stingy with money at this time, after the city was broken, the hammer was not his own, and it was an eternal truth that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and if you want to make people sell their lives, you must have excitement, and he instructed his son, "Shisi, you quickly take 10,000 taels of silver and send it to the city to reward the army!" ”
"Governor Xie will live up to expectations!" Xia Jing listened to the refreshment and said, and he secretly said in his heart that this old man Pu is quite troublesome...... (To be continued.) )
