Chapter 1238: Collapse with a bang
When these brick city walls were built, Jiang Xiu was very excited, this brick wall was simply a layer of iron armor on the original rammed earth city wall, and it is not too much to describe the current city wall with solid gold.
But Jiang Xiu never expected that the so-called impregnable city wall would become dangerous and could collapse at any time under the attack of the catapults of the Bingzhou army.
Zhong Hui originally proposed to build a masonry wall, the purpose was to prevent the catapult from the blow, but unfortunately with his imaginary construction of the wall, still could not resist the repeated attacks of the catapult, which from one side, but also reflected that Zhong Hui still underestimated the power of the Bingzhou army stone, not only the city wall of Lecheng is dangerous, but the entire Jizhou defense system has also become dangerous.
Because Jizhou's defense system is based on the defense of these cities, now Lecheng's fate proves that the shield they built is still no match for the spear of the state army, if Lecheng loses, it will be a devastating blow to the entire Jizhou defense system.
At this time, the Bingzhou army was already cheering, the cracks in the city wall had reached several feet wide, and the entire wall had been seriously deformed, and there were signs of collapse at any time.
Now Yanghu did not send infantry to the city to pick up stone bullets, because the city wall is already crumbling, who knows when it will collapse, in case the soldiers sent to pick up stone bullets happen to be smashed below, it will be more than worth the loss.
Therefore, the attack of the catapult has never stopped, and the stone bullets have smashed into the city wall one after another, and the fight is extremely resolute.
Since Yanghu has already spotted a weak point in the city wall, he naturally clenches on it, even if he can't get the results he wants today, Yanghu will still continue to attack tomorrow, because he knows that just the stone bullets stacked in Fan Yang's advance base are enough to support the infantry battalion to use four or five, Yanghu doesn't believe in this evil, even if Lecheng's city wall is strong, can it withstand the continuous attack of the stone attack vehicle?
Now it seems that there is no need for four or five, if it goes well, the results will come out today, look at the shaky appearance of the city wall, it will definitely not last long.
"General Qiyu, there are not enough stone bullets." Captain Throwing Stone hurriedly reported to Yang Huyu.
Yanghu said in a deep voice: "How much is left?" ”
"There are only more than fifty of them."
"Then smash it all out! Not a single one to stay! Yang Hu said loudly.
Now that it has reached a critical moment, it may be possible to knock down the city wall with more efforts, take a step back, even if it can't be taken today, the state army can continue to attack in the future, and Yanghu doesn't need to worry about the possibility of repairing the damaged city wall at all.
At present, there has been a big crack in the wall of the city wall, and it is already a serious inclination, and there is a possibility of collapse at any time, in this case, unless it is demolished and rebuilt, there is no value of repair, and it is impossible to restore the city wall to its original state after giving the Jizhou army a night's time.
Of course, Yanghu hopes to win Lecheng today, which is of great benefit to boosting the morale of the state army, since the start of the war yesterday, the personnel of the infantry battalion have been eager to try, morale is flourishing, if the city wall can be broken at this moment, these soldiers will inevitably be able to enter the Lecheng with great vigor and high spirits, and Lecheng is at your fingertips.
That's why Yanghu didn't hesitate to give the order and smash all the remaining dozens of stone bullets.
Dozens of stone bullets rose into the air and smashed towards the already heavily tilted city wall, and the already dangerous city wall shook significantly, and the cracks became wider.
Standing on the city wall, the view is more intuitive, the city wall more than ten zhang wide has been completely separated from the main city wall, and the gap between them has been wide to the point that a person can only jump over, and those Jizhou soldiers who are still in this area are terrified and flee towards the safe area.
In the process of escaping, someone was squeezed into the crack and let out a creepy scream.
Jiang Xiu was also staring at this area nervously, at this moment he wanted to have a pair of giant hands to close the crack with this open mouth, because he knew that once the city wall collapsed, the consequences would be unimaginable, and a large number of merger troops would pour into the city along this gap, and Le Cheng, who had lost the city defense, would be reduced to the point of being slaughtered by others.
It's a pity that Jiang Xiu doesn't have the ability to do that, so he can only helplessly watch the cracks get bigger and bigger.
The collapse of the wall was slow at first, but when it was tilted to a certain angle, the crack opened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then there was a loud noise and it collapsed with a bang.
Those Jizhou soldiers who had not yet had time to withdraw were so shocked that they were not possessed, and they clung to the city wall tightly, as if they were in the middle of the ocean, on a lonely boat that was about to sink, and fell down with the city wall in despair and helplessness.
After the loud bang, accompanied by a cloud of dust, smoke and debris, carried by the strong wind, whistling and scattering in all directions, many of the Jizhou soldiers who were still stranded on the remaining city wall were scratched and cut by these broken bricks.
Under the shroud of dust and smoke, his eyes couldn't see at all, and he only saw that everything in front of him was yellow, and he couldn't see his five fingers, let alone anyone else.
Oops! This is Jiang Xiu's first reaction, the collapse of the city wall is equivalent to creating a passage for the Bingzhou army to enter the city, if the Jizhou army can't block this passage in the first time, then Lecheng's loss is only a matter of time.
But what is worse now is that the dust and smoke from the collapse are more violent than the worst sandstorms, and the defenders will not see the situation at the breach, and the state army will take this opportunity to launch a siege, if they attack the front, it will be troublesome.
The city wall in the last round of the catapult attack, the final collapse of the bang, and suddenly the state army is a riot of joy, blowing and jumping up, the Jizhou army is relying on this city wall, now the city wall has collapsed, what else do they have to rely on?
Seeing this scene, the captains of the state army all had their eyes shining, this was the opportunity they had been waiting for for a long time, and all the captains looked at Yanghu together, no matter what the situation was, without Yanghu's order, they would not dare to fight without authorization.
Yanghu glanced at them, smiled slightly, and ordered in a deep voice: "Beat the drum, attack!" ”
