There were more soldiers swimming to the riverbank with bags in the water.
Some people even did not forget to shoot at the city during the attack.
Outside the city, grenadiers were concentrated on the city gates.
Although it is no longer a hundred grenadiers in unison, this is still enough to beat the tiger army on the city gate not to dare to come out.
The moat didn't work as much as they thought it would.
Looking at the orderly offensive of the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, it is obvious that they are already familiar with how to crack the city protected by a moat.
The current Great Song is no longer the Great Song of the past. Various tactics can be said to have been systematized.
In a siege war like this, there is no need for Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin to command more. Officers and men in the army know what they should do and how they should do it.
The Tiger Ben Army probably couldn't imagine that the training of the Great Song Forbidden Army in the military area was completely different from theirs.
The various exercises and sparring exercises that Zhao Dongting ordered the various armies to carry out were really much ahead of this era.
In just a few moments, a non-commissioned officer of the Forbidden Army ran outside the city gate.
They untied the thunderbolts on their waists, and without any hesitation, they directly threw a few thunderbolts over.
With the sound of the explosion, the city gate collapsed as expected, revealing a deep tunnel inside.
The thunder-throwing soldiers hurried to the sides of the city gate to take refuge.
And inside the city, there were indeed arrows bursting out.
It's a ballista.
At the end of the road, dozens of ballistas were neatly arranged.
After all, there were still soldiers who were caught off guard and were shot by this ballista.
Even if the Great Song armor was extremely defensive and too close, it could not withstand the power of this ballista.
Some soldiers were shot through by arrows.
After the arrow with great kinetic energy pierced their bodies, it flew backwards several meters with their corpses before landing.
"Kill!"
But no one in the Great Song Dynasty retreated.
They shouted and swarmed towards the gates.
Someone raised a gun and fired it into the corridor.
Behind the ballista, a sergeant of Tiger Ben was shot and fell to the ground.
The smell of blood soon spread through the corridor.
Some of the ballistas were even tied to the thunder, which made the Great Song Forbidden Army also suffer some losses.
It seems to be a tug-of-war at this point.
The Tianxiong army remained in the military formation outside the city, and Liu Zijun was holding a telescope at the gate of the city at this time. On the side, there are two other generals as well.
One of them suddenly asked, "Commander, will it increase a lot if we let the soldiers attack the city like this...... Casualty? โ
The man was burly and rugged-looking. It was Mengtuo, the general who had previously served under Boyan.
Since his surrender, he has been tossed and turned several times, and now he is the capital of the Xiong army today.
It's not a high position, but it's not bad. At least, compared to Zhang Hongfan, who also surrendered, he was already picking up a big bargain.
You must know that in the past, Zhang Hongfan, as the coach, had a higher status than Meng Tuo, but now, he is still just a mere waiter.
Hearing Monto's words, Liu Zijun nodded lightly, "This is inevitable." โ
Monto's face showed puzzlement, "Then why are you ...... the commander?"
Liu Zijun said: "Kuizhou is faintly besieged, and we can't delay too much time in this Kaijiang City." And the soldiers have practiced so many times in the barracks, I have to see what they are really capable of. There are always some places that cannot be taken into account in the exercise, and only in such actual combat can their shortcomings be discerned. There are not many tiger troops in the city, and we can afford to lose them, if there is a big battle and the enemy discovers the shortcomings, then it is really possible to pay a lot of casualties. โ
He pointed in the direction of the city gate, "You said that if you attack a big city like Chongqing and Kuizhou, and it is blocked at the city gate, how many casualties will you have to pay?" โ
Monto was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "I can't estimate." โ
The city gates and roads in Chongqing and Kuizhou are much wider than those in this district.
"These idiots!"
As he was talking, Liu Zijun suddenly scolded, "Do you only know that you are so stupid to fight with the Divine Dragon Gun and the Thunderbolt?" And what about the prostrate attack of them? โ
He was undoubtedly dissatisfied with the fact that the army was being held back at the gates.
Although he had not used a ballista during the exercise in the barracks, he felt that the soldiers should want to get it.
And just as his words fell, a general at the gate of the city finally reacted.
Looking at the style of his armor, he is a thousand-commander general.
Seeing that soldiers were shot to death on the suspension bridge one after another, he was glaring angrily, but at this moment, there was a glint in his eyes.
Then shout: "Prostrate forward!" Creeping forward! โ
This is what they have trained in the barracks and is considered a basic form of attack.
Some soldiers who heard his shouts quickly reacted, and immediately fell directly to the ground.
Although the ballista is very powerful, it has the disadvantage of being able to exert its maximum power only when firing horizontally.
As more and more of the Great Song Forbidden Army lay on the ground, many crossbow arrows were shot in the air.
The prostrate forbidden soldiers crawled towards the corridor.
One after another, the crossbow riders in the Tiger Army fell to the ground with guns.
Although some people wanted to throw thunderbolts into the corridor, their speed was far less fast than that of the Divine Dragon. Often before he could throw his hand, he was shot to death by the dragon gun.
The thunderbolt exploded in place, causing their own formation to be a little confused.
Although it was only changed from a low-profile attack to a creeping attack, the Great Song Forbidden Army was able to gain the upper hand in the tug-of-war on the Yongdao Road.
They were spreading towards the corridor at great speed.
With the sound of dense gunfire, the Ballista formation of the Tiger Ben Army was quickly broken.
Some of the soldiers were demoralized and ran to the back.
The gates were broken.
The forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty in the back did not suppress it with ballistas, and it spread to the city in a surging manner.
Some generals shouted: "Free fire!" Free Fire! โ
This is also a long-term training subject in the forbidden army.
Although there are special forces in each army, the training of these ordinary forbidden forces is not much weaker than that of special forces.
In this era, all of them can be regarded as kings of soldiers.
The dragon gunners who entered the city were just like tigers entering a flock of sheep, running away separately, and still maintaining a mobile shooting state during the run.
This made the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who were waiting in the city a little dumbfounded.
Because in their expectations, they thought that the Great Song Forbidden Army would charge them face to face. This should be the common way to play in this era.
Who would have thought that these Song troops would be scattered?
And the power and range of the Divine Dragon Gun naturally made these tiger soldiers complain.
The large ordnance in the army could not be effective, and they could only use the bows and arrows in their hands to shoot at the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty.
But how many archers can there be in the entire army?
As more and more Great Song forbidden troops poured into the city, the sound of artillery outside the city gradually became completely silent.
And some soldiers came up to the top of the city.
Then, just a moment, the Great Song National Flag was erected on the head of the city.
The western wall of Kaijiang City was completely captured.
Although there are still soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who are stubbornly resisting here, judging from the current situation, their demise is only a matter of time.
The Great Song Forbidden Army did not encounter such strong resistance as imagined.
Some of the generals became suspicious and ordered the scouts to run out of the city.
After a rough estimate, the Tiger Ben army in the entire West City Gate was only a few thousand. And in the entire Kaijiang City, there can never be only such a tiger army.
The scouts ran out of the city and immediately reported the situation to Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin.
And Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin were only slightly puzzled after learning the news, and then such a shout sounded in the army, "Cloth a circular formation!" Cloth Circle Array! โ
The soldiers of the grenadier battalion in front of the army hurriedly rushed to the depths of the formation with grenadiers.
Some of the soldiers with shields spread outward, slamming their shields on the ground.
Inside, the cavalry dismounted. They all raised their guns and pointed them out.
There were only two gaps left in both circular formations, and inside these gaps were the heavy cavalry of the forbidden army.
Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun both saw that there were soldiers of the Tiger Army hurrying down the city at the head of the city, although they could not conclude whether the Tiger Army would counterattack out of the city, but it was obviously not troublesome to put up such a defensive formation. Even if the Tiger Ben army did not leave the city, they would have to regroup and go to the city at that time.
And just when the two armies changed formations, from the south and north walls of the city of Kaijiang, there were scouts galloping in a hurry.
When they arrived at the two armies, the scouts shouted, "There is an enemy out of the city!" There are enemy troops out of the city! โ
The Tiger Ben army really planned to go out of the city to counterattack.
