Chapter 286: Retreat to the city
After receiving the order, the trebuchet immediately changed into boulders and began to bombard the river, and soon the ice on the river began to break widely, and the refugees who dodged the random arrows fell into the ice river one after another and began to cry for help in a panic. However, at this time, both the enemy and the enemy are trying to survive at the tip of the knife, and their own lives are difficult to protect, who will save you......
However, as there were more and more thieves, the attack line became longer and longer, and the defense of the officers and soldiers was a little overwhelmed, after all, there were still cannon fodder who took advantage of the situation to tear a few passages on the ice, and the thieves behind them directly killed the opposite bank along the passage, and the long-range attack turned into hand-to-hand combat.
But how could the officers and soldiers allow the thieves to send troops along those passages as they wished, and directly use trebuchets to break through the ice and cut off the passages.
Pity the thieves who had just set foot on the other side, because they had no backup, they fell into isolation, and were soon beaten and chopped into meat sauce.
The boulder bombardment, coupled with the fact that too many people had gathered on the river, overwhelmed the ice and began to collapse in a large area.
There were countless casualties, and only the brief kiss that was exchanged made the thief angry and angry, but he would never give up!
Without even a pause, the attack continued, and the thieves rushed towards the moat, and under the cover of archers and trebuchets in the rear, they jumped into the glacier and forced their way across.
I saw these thieves as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, or jumped into the ice river and swam towards the opposite bank, some jumped on the broken ice, and some hugged the giant tree......
Even...... There is rowing!
It seems that the thieves have been quite prepared in the past few days, and when they saw the thieves in the rear carrying dozens of small boats to the river, to be honest, Chang Yu was a little confused!
"See, how resolute the thief's heart is to break the city this time, it is a never-ending situation!" Chang Yu snorted coldly.
Zhou Yuji and others on his side, his body couldn't help but be shocked.
Boom Boom Boom ...... There was a sudden and loud roar of cannons.
Chang Yu's eyes narrowed into a line, and the thief army actually used artillery, but the target was to target the defenders next to the moat, not the city head, it should be at this time, otherwise it would have been directly bombarded at the city tower.
Damn, be a vegetarian when Lao Tzu's artillery!
The bandit army used artillery to bombard the opposite bank in an attempt to suppress the officers and soldiers and cover the bandit army to cross the river.
Chang Yu naturally couldn't do what he wanted, and immediately ordered the cannons in the city to open fire!
The trebuchet did not have a long range, but the artillery could reach up to ten miles, and the camp of the thieves on the other side of the moat was only five miles from the city, which was within full range.
The eight cannons in the city roared, and the camp of the thieves outside the moat immediately turned into hell!
"Can you blow up the thief artillery!" Chang Yu saw that the positions of the officers and soldiers were also bombarded by the artillery of the thief army, and he was angry in his heart.
"Back to my lord, the range is not as good!" Cannon fodder shouted.
"What a cunning!" Chang Yu scolded hatefully.
It has been almost half an hour since the thief army launched an attack from both flanks, and finally opened a breakthrough, and news came from Zhenwumen in Xicheng that a small group of thieves had crossed the river and were in close contact with the officers and soldiers.
Unexpectedly, it is reasonable that a trench outside Xicheng can only be used as a formality, and the thief army naturally arranged a little cannon fodder there, but the officers and soldiers did not have heavy weapons to suppress the formation in Zhenwumen.
After all, the south gate is the main attack point of the thief army, and Chang Yu has mobilized all his heavy weapons here.
Zhenwumen is guarded by Zhu Kongxun, a subordinate of Zhou Yuji, with more than 10,000 troops and the same as the thief army.
The thieves crossed the river with a small group of people, and they should not take advantage of it, so they should not be afraid.
After Chang Yu thought about it quickly, he once again focused his attention on the city of Da Nanmen, but suddenly found that the situation here was no longer optimistic.
The thieves have already landed in multiple groups!
After all, it is only a moat more than ten meters wide, after all, there are archers, trebuchets, and artillery of the thief army in the rear.
Just imagine, when our army crossed the Yangtze River, how many artillery and machine guns were deployed by the opponent on the bank of the Yangtze River, and they still rushed through under the suppression of that modern weapon.
And now in the face of only bows and arrows, trebuchets and artillery that can only be fired once in half a day, tens of thousands of thieves still rushed over.
In the blink of an eye, as more and more thieves landed on the shore, the moat fell into hand-to-hand combat!
It really only lasted half an hour! Chang Yu smiled bitterly, and then ordered the trebuchets and artillery under the city to withdraw into the city!
"Cut down the drawbridge!"
Seeing that there were more and more thieves who landed, the entire river was full of thieves crossing the river, and the fighting on the bank had also entered the white heat, Chang Yu handed over the command to Zhou Yuji, and then hurriedly went down to the city: "Tu Yuan, Jia Waixiong, Tiezhu, out of the city!" ”
Jin Wuwei's three hundred elites, as well as the palace battalion, had already assembled at the gate of the city to wait, and after seeing Chang Yu go down the city, they immediately obeyed the order to leave the city.
Hung up and collapsed, smashed into the water, and hit many thieves who crossed the river, and at this time, Chang Yu had already led his subordinates, took the lead, and killed them with a knife.
Chang Yu led nearly a thousand cavalry to rush to the bank of the moat, slashing with a knife, he was heavily armoured, superior in force, and cavalry, those thieves who had just come ashore were opponents, and they were cut down like vegetables!
Fighting back and forth along the moat, everywhere you go, no one is in the way, the momentum is unparalleled for a while, and the generals such as Niu Yong who look at the city praise again and again: "The factory is brave and crowns the three armies!" ”
Even Zhou Yuji nodded slightly: "Seriously, Ben Jiang was not as good as him back then!" ”
The so-called Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, Chang Yu led his subordinates to kill the thief army, and wherever he went, the thief army was unstoppable, which naturally attracted the attention of the other side.
And so the artillery and trebuchets beckoned!
"My lord, danger, go back a bit!" Seeing that he was too close to the moat and stones were smashed in the air, Tie Zhu and others persuaded one after another.
However, Chang Yu was already red-eyed at this time, and when he saw that the thief army was landing on the shore in an endless stream, he took care of the others and cut it with a knife. At the same time, he shouted angrily: "No one else is afraid, you are so afraid!" ”
No, the factory is too close to the river, and has been targeted by thieves, and after Zhou Yuji in the city found out, he immediately asked the artillery to aim the muzzle at the trebuchet of the thief army......
Waywardness always comes at a price, even if it's Changyu.
Even though there were tens of thousands of officers and soldiers fighting with thieves on the bank of the moat at this time, his men and horses were extremely eye-catching, and finally became the key target of the thief army.
Several boulders were smashed into the camp one after another, and Jin Wuwei and the Gongzi battalion both suffered casualties, which made Chang Yu angry and angry, looking at the trebuchet on the other side, his heart was angry, and he waved his knife: "Thief, swear to kill you, etc."
"Be careful" At this moment, a guard next to him jumped up and knocked Chang Yu off the horse, and then there was a scream, and a boulder hit the guard, and he lay on the ground and wailed along with Chang Yu's war horse.
The rest of the people were shocked and dismounted one after another to save Chang Yu.
Chang Yu turned over on the ground, glanced back at the guard, hurriedly ran over, and hugged him: "Brother hold on!" ”
"Factory father, I, I can't do it, I have to be a brother when I die, it's worth ...... It's worth it! "After saying that, close your eyes and pass away!
"Brother!" Chang Yu hugged the eunuch tightly, his tiger eyes widened angrily, and the green tendons on his hands burst out: "This revenge will not be avenged, and the oath will not be a man"
After finishing speaking, he turned over and got on the horse, but the Pu knife handed by Tu Yuan killed him towards the river again: "The dog thief of the grass and mud horse ......"
Chang Yu is crazy, and so are his subordinates!
Zhou Yuji, who had been paying attention to Chang Yu in the city, also had red eyes, and kept roaring: "Kill, kill, kill Lao Tzu!" ”
At this moment, the "general" had a herald hurriedly reported: "Most of the Ximen thief army has crossed the river......
Coming over so soon, Zhou Yuji calmed down a little, gasped and glanced at the city
Li Zicheng's tactics of using a sea of people finally achieved results, and nearly 100,000 troops attacked the Great South Gate.
Although the officers and soldiers have the advantage at this time, their strength is inferior to the thief army, you must know that the total strength of Taiyuan is only 80,000 or 90,000, except for the east and west cities, 30,000 will be removed, and the north gate will also be left more than 1,000 on duty, and at this time, there are still thousands of conventional mobile men and horses left in the south of the city, and the city is full of 50,000 people.
If you wait for all the thieves to cross the river, it will not last long.
Since it is a foregone conclusion that the thief army will cross the river, why bother to fight with him and consume troops, Zhou Yuji immediately withdrew his troops according to the previous plan!
Chang Yu, who was red-eyed, called his subordinates a few times before realizing that he had withdrawn his troops, and although he was unwilling, he had to order a retreat.
Until he went to the city, the killing intent in his eyes was still monstrous, making people dare not look at him.
After a fierce battle, countless corpses were left in the river by the moat, and all the officers and soldiers had retreated into the city, while the thieves were resting by the river, most of them were soaked, and if they didn't make a fire to dry up in such a cold weather, they would soon become icemen.
And although they crossed the river, they did not dare to take a step forward, after all, at this time, the officers and soldiers closed the city gate, condescending, and their siege baggage was still on the other side of the river, and now if they approached the city wall to find trouble, they could only be hanged!
The officers and men who withdrew to the city immediately began to rest, and those who were seriously injured were sent directly to the barracks, and those who were lightly injured could not get out of the line of fire, and went straight to their posts in the city.
And the thief army under the city was not idle, while receiving the river crossing thief army, he began to repair the drawbridge, otherwise the siege of the city would not be able to pass.
However, once the behemoth of the suspension bridge is cut down, it will not be possible to repair it in a moment.
The fastest, there will be a general attack tomorrow morning!
Chang Yu knew that it was cold at this time, and the river could be frozen overnight, but it became Yangguan Avenue, and the thieves were free to enter and exit, and the general baggage could also come from the ice, except for those artillery weighing several tons.
