When the hundreds of siege equipment of the Wu army were lined up in front of the 100,000 army, it simply formed a surging momentum of mountain rain and wind full of buildings.

Thirty large pointed-nosed siege vehicles.

Each was propelled by a hundred infantry soldiers, and the carts were flatbed carts with a sharp log suspended from a wooden frame. Knock on the gates like a bell.

The ordinary city gate can soon be directly knocked out of a large hole.

As long as a siege vehicle winds under the gate of Danyang City, the dilapidated old gate of Danyang City will definitely be broken.

Fifty ladders, lined up, thousands of archers stand on top of the ladders, armed with oil arrows, which can shoot a dense array of oil arrows.

Fifty stone throwers creaked and turned, and inside the projectile bag, dozens of pounds of boulders were filled.

"Xian'er, you are watching from the sidelines, how your father commanded this battle and captured this Danyang City. In the future, you will lead your troops to war, and these are all things that must be mastered. ”

Wu Wang Xiang Bi said.

"Yes, Erchen will definitely study carefully!"

Shizi Xiang Xian said excitedly.

A war of hundreds of thousands of people is rare in a lifetime. The war you see on paper is completely different from what you see with your own eyes.

"General Li Yu, you lead a battalion of elite archers with 10,000 people, operate fifty ladders and fifty stone throwers, advance one mile, and stand by at any time!"

"Yes! The last general commands! ”

"General Jiang Xiao, you lead a battalion of 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers, carry ten siege vehicles, and storm the south city gate. Break open the gates at any cost! ”

"Yes!"

"General Jiang Wei, you lead a battalion of 10,000 elite infantry, carrying ten siege vehicles.... Impact ramp wooden frame!

Didn't they hold back the king's cavalry army with heavy rifles? Let's see if the human wall of their heavy pikemen can hold back the siege engines. ”

Xiang Bi sneered, but with a whip, he said.

...

A large battalion of 10,000 elite infantry of the Wu army broke away from the main army formation and came to a half-mile in front of the wooden frame on the slope, pushing ten crashing vehicles and began to charge.

Another battalion of 10,000 miscellaneous infantry of the Wu army went to the direction of the southern city gate, ready to charge.

In addition, there are two large battalions of 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers, which use wooden ladders to climb the city wall.

In one breath, the Wu army dispatched 40,000 troops to attack the southern city wall.

Chu Tianxiu stared at the movements of the two large battalions of the Wu army, and immediately ordered a court general, "General Han Yun, you lead five thousand archers and five thousand sword and armor soldiers to guard the south city gate and the south city wall. Throw away the horses and sandbags, block the south gate, and stop the crashing car from approaching! Be sure to hold on. ”

"Yes!"

Han Yun immediately took 5,000 archers and 5,000 armor soldiers to set up defenses at the south gate and the city walls on both sides. Drop a pile of sandbags and horses at the city gate, and guard the city head at the south gate with a powder gun.

"Yu'er, you take 10,000 heavy infantry to hold the slope."

Chu Tianxiu asked.

"Hmm!"

Li Yu nodded.

She immediately ordered a heavy battalion, rushed out of the wooden frame on the slope, and set up a large array of 10,000 people at the foot of the head of Danyang City.

10,000 heavy infantry of the imperial court, facing the 10,000 elite infantry of the Wu army, is comparable in strength, and it does not suffer a loss. Although there are crash cars on the opposite side... But this thing can only hit the city, not kill the infantry.

Moreover, there were 5,000 Danyang musketeers on the city wall and 100 small steel cannons to support them.

If the Wu army wants to break through the defense of the slope, it will definitely be an extremely tragic and tough battle.

"Kill ——!"

The 40,000-strong corps of the Wu army began to launch a dense charge towards the south city gate, the slope, and the city walls on both sides at the same time.

"Musketeers, fire!"

"Archery!"

At the head of Danyang City, all the generals roared angrily.

The entire southern city wall was in turmoil.

...

The rest of the Wu army's 60,000 people slowly advanced in a large formation.

Heavy siege equipment, all in front of the army.

Fifty stone throwers advanced to a distance of one mile from the Danyang city wall and stopped.

One of the stone throwers, starting to calibrate the angle, threw a large stone to see if it could hit the city wall.

"Boom!"

A large stone fell a few dozen steps outside the city wall.

Didn't shoot.

The catapult continued to calibrate and shoot a little farther.

Fifty ladders were pushed closer, about one hundred and fifty steps from the wall. Because the ladder is three zhang high, the range of the archers is farther than that of the Danyang musketeers on the city wall.

"Li Kangnian, use the small steel cannon to scatter freely and destroy all the stone throwers and ladders!"

Chu Tianxiu looked out of the city and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Li Kangnian received the order.

He led a group of students from the Military Academy to calibrate the range of the small steel cannon with a ruler in his hand to calibrate the bearing.

The small steel cannon can hit a mile away, and the range is sufficient.

Use small steel cannons to carry out fixed-point removal of ladders and stone throwers. This requires high-precision shooting, which is certainly not an easy task.

Rumble!

Hundreds of small steel cannons began to fire at the fifty ladders and fifty stone throwers outside the city.

Artillery roared.

Fifty stone throwers were throwing large stones at the head of the city, and the small steel cannons on the city walls were also aiming and firing back.

Obviously, the accuracy of the small steel cannon is far greater than that of the stone-throwing machine.

Fifty large stones were thrown out, and only five or six of them hit the head of the city, and the rest either came close and landed in the open space outside the city. Either far away, fall in the residential areas of the city.

Even if it landed on the city, it only hit the city wall, wounding a few soldiers, and did not hit a single battery.

And hundreds of small steel cannons, in one round of firing, as many as five shells directly hit the stone thrower and hit more than a dozen ladders.

The archers around the trebuchet were wounded and killed hundreds of people. More than a dozen ladders collapsed, and the casualties were even worse.

Bang~!

The five stone throwers were directly smashed with important parts, or even completely collapsed, and could no longer be used.

In one volley, a tenth is lost.

"Aim! Aim and shoot! ”

"Shoot rockets at the head of the city, suppress the musketeers and the batteries!"

Wu Army's archer general Li Yu angrily scolded.

The archers were silently scolded, and desperately shook the noose, preparing for the next round of stone-throwing fires.

This stone thrower, using a skein, throws stones and throws, which is not accurate at all. Whether you can shoot or not is pure luck. Even if it is fully calibrated, this time it is missed, and the next time it is thrown, it will be missed.

The archers shoot accurately.

However, they were too close to the city walls, and they themselves were in extreme danger.

The rate of fire of a small steel cannon is also much faster than that of a stone thrower. The trebuchet had not yet completed the second round of preparations, and the small steel cannon opened fire again.

Thundered!

In just one stick of incense, five or six stone throwers and more than a dozen ladders were hit. The number of dead and wounded archers of the Wu army has exceeded 1,000.

The small steel cannons at the head of the city, no matter how heavy the fire oil arrows and big stones attacked, none of them were smashed, and there were less than a dozen dead and wounded. This was also due to igniting a barrel of gunpowder, which caused the surrounding Danyang soldiers to be injured.

"It's... How so! Why is the gap so huge?! ”

Li Yu, the general of the Wu army's archers, was full of horror and disbelief.

He led his troops to fight for many years, even when attacking Wanling County, the archery battalion, which mainly focused on long-range shooting, was unscathed, and he never suffered such heavy losses.
