Chapter 339: Siege Battle (1)
The so-called quick battle is just that, if it weren't for the fact that there was still such a thing as cleaning the battlefield, maybe, at this time, this city has been captured, but some of these resources still can't be wasted, such as, the captives, that is, the future slaves!
Therefore, Yang Qiao has actually slowed down.
"Report, General, the battlefield has been cleaned up, and the siege road has been opened, please instruct the general."
"Well, yes, yes!"
Yang Qiao took out the binoculars for the first time and looked at the battlefield before that, and it was okay, these merchants were still relatively good, and they even put the wounded and corpses who were almost picked up into bare pigs, and put them into a slippery one, in the middle, to make way for a very wide road, and then look at the people on the city wall, obviously, they wanted to go out of the city to clean up the corpses and the wounded, but unfortunately, this time, you have no chance, when the corpses of these wounded are cleaned up, it should be the slaves of the Tang Dynasty.
"Pass my orders and let the army carry out the prescribed plan."
This is the commander-in-chief, no matter how much preparation is made in front, in fact, before the battle, it is just a matter of one sentence, Yang Qiao wants to correct what as the leader of the first army has to personally hold a big knife and shout and charge in front, this, what does it mean, I can only say that you, the general, are very brave, in fact, it is just a slight improvement in the morale of the soldiers.
And at this time, even if they were in the team, Yang Qiao did not allow them to charge in front, and the officers were used to command, not to charge.
The speed of this troop is naturally fast and slow, and now, at the moment of arrangement, this requirement is not so strict, naturally, the corresponding protection is also there, so the first to set off is the cavalry team on both wings, they are the first to take up their positions in the position, and they have set up a formation one mile away from the city, and once someone in the city comes out, they will immediately charge over.
Immediately after that, there was the infantry, and at this time, the infantry was not just archers, because half of the archers were replaced with spears and broadswords, which was a kind of coordinated infantry battle formation, and they were listed in the cavalry, and the archers were behind these infantry.
In the end, more than a dozen behemoths came out of a squeak, not only the people on the city wall stared, but also their own people stared, what is this, is it, during this time, that secret place, what is it that is not done.
Again, there are not a lot of people in this except for the horses pulling the cart, and especially, what is it on the vehicle behind this, the stones?
What do you want stones for this battlefield?
"County guard, it seems that the Tang army is going to attack the city, I said, we shouldn't despise this Tang Dynasty this time, this Tang Dynasty, but it is different from the former Sui, but you are still, alas, forget it, now, everything is over, while the city is not fenced, I better withdraw first."
Defend the city, whoever wants to defend it, be willing to defend it, the two battles in front have scared them out, but there are still some hardliners inside, they actually came out and prepared to organize a defense.
That's fine, if there is no defense, this battle will be meaningless, I was meant to teach, this teaching aid is gone, isn't it meaningless?
"Report to the general, cavalry in position, report to the general, infantry in position, report to the general, trebuchet in position."
With the reports again and again, Yang Qiao also quickly grasped the formation status of his own team.
"The commanders of the teams, according to the predetermined plan, I declare, the siege battle, now begins."
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
With the sound of drums.
"Kill ......"
Immediately afterwards, the shouts of the soldiers also came from the battlefield, this is the initiative to attack, naturally, there must be something to boost morale, this killing sound is a morale-boosting shout.
Then, with a turn of the drum, the frequency is changed.
"Special Warfare Attack!"
Immediately afterward, rows of archers rushed out, lined up in front of the formation, and drew their bows, but what were their arrows tied to their heads?
As the arrow was shot out, it was discovered that the arrow began to burn, and it turned out to be a flaming arrow.
"Shields."
Normally, it's normal for you to use shields, but this arrow is not aimed at the city wall, but at some parcels under the city wall.
Naturally, some of them were shot, and some of them didn't, so this arrow was also shot several rounds.
"Boom, boom!"
With a roar, the walls and the earth shook for a long time, and at this time, the archers quickly retreated, giving way to the front of the position.
And the trebuchet in the back also spread its minions, behind it, there are drums to command, and in front of the formation, there are whistles and shouts to command.
Trebuchet, the first array prepares, casts, and the second array, prepares to cast.
I saw a piece of barrage hit the city wall, this city wall was originally a little loose in the previous vibration, and then it was smashed by these big stones, slowly, there began to be a gap, and on the city wall, at this time, people turned over on their backs.
In fact, in front, there were many people who were stunned, and at the other city gates, they were very crowded at this time, and they were all busy going out of the city, including nobles, soldiers, and ordinary citizens.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, you poor ghost."
"Bastard, who are you talking about, I can't run out, you can't run out, you will be a slave of Datang when the time comes, where can you be higher than me."
Come on, in front of life, this face etiquette or anything is gone.
Moreover, at the gate of this city, there are not only scolding battles, but even those who start fighting, and the fights are naturally soldiers and the nobles are private soldiers.
"My lord, should we go down and stop it!"
"No need, it's enough to look at their faces, at this time, it should be the time to unite for defense, you see them, they are all busy running away, and okay, and, look over there, what are the faint figures doing?"
What are you doing, Yang Qiao's people, naturally not, these are those businessmen with brains, they sent their private soldiers out, the purpose is to catch slaves, naturally, they will also hijack some wealth, these wealth, Yang Qiao will not want, it is all theirs, but, this is a pity, so Yang Qiao did not besiege the city, but they went to besiege the city.
What, not afraid of resistance, to be honest, at this time, in this city of Goguryeo, are there still people who can resist, especially those who escape, even more courageless.
"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw, the walls are falling, withdraw, withdraw!"
At this time, on the city wall in front, it was also chaotic and ruthless, and even, some soldiers, in a hurry, jumped directly from it, even if they jumped down and fell to death, it was much better than being smashed into flesh by a big stone.
However, they guessed really well, this meat mud, once the city is taken down, this city wall still needs to be rebuilt, then, these meat mud will be combined with the soil, built in the city wall, they will defend this city wall for a lifetime, or even several lifetimes.
"Brother-in-law, come on, next, this order will be issued by your staff, and I will go to the side to watch, and even, all the next battles will be commanded by you."
"Da Lang, this?"
"What is this, brother-in-law, I'm not leaving, I'm still on the left, if it's not a big mistake, I won't point it out, but, if there is a big mistake, I will still take the baton."
At this time, this city is obviously about to be defeated, so Yang Qiao handed over power, himself, he is not a military person, what military power does he want.
"Big brother, what about me?"
Cheng Chumo was a little anxious on the side.
"Little sister, follow me, what about you, just follow your brother-in-law, and learn to command."
"Brother, me!"
The little sister was a little unhappy.
"What are you, you're old, you should have appeared as a girl, and, these battles, you say, which battle requires you to go out to fight, even I don't need it."
"Well, okay, though, I'm going to hunt, I'm going to barbecue."
The little sister was talking a little coquettishly, she knew that next, if there was no battle, Yang Qiao would definitely do these things.
