Chapter 353: Breaking the City (1)

The sun is getting westerly and it is almost dusk.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Under the leadership of Li Jing, 50,000 soldiers of the Allied Army wore bright armor and spears and stepped out of the barracks, shouting all the way, and slaughtering towards Jiangdu City.

Soon, they reached the city gate, and 50,000 soldiers stood neatly and solemnly, with fresh armor and bright armor, forming a huge military formation.

In front of the military array was a cavalry phalanx composed of 10,000 cavalrymen, and the cavalry officers and soldiers were uniformly wearing black bright light armor and holding horse battle chief weapons. Under the setting sun, the bright light armor and the spear blade of the spear are dazzling and intimidating.

Behind the cavalry were 5,000 archers, all of whom had drawn their bows and arrows, and at the command of the commander, 5,000 sharp arrows would come out of their strings and shoot at the head of the city.

The phalanx on the left and right flanks were all sword and shield soldiers, with 3,000 people on each side, who were armed with large swords and wooden shields, guarding the ranks of the Chinese army.

The middle and rear army formations were ordinary infantry, and they were ready for everything, armed with swords, guns, hammers, and spears, solemn and neat, ready to enter the city at any time.

Seeing this situation, the face of the guards at the head of the city changed dramatically in an instant, and he didn't dare to have any carelessness, so he arranged for the soldiers to report to Yu Wenhua in the city urgently.

Soon, Yu Wenhua took Yu Wenzhi and other staff members to the top of the city, and when he saw the scene under the city, he couldn't help but tremble, and his face changed drastically.

I saw that the army array under the city occupied a wide area, the enemy army was neat and quiet, the boundaries were clear, the soldiers were all fresh and angry, and the morale was high.

All kinds of battle flags were standing in the sky above the military formation, fluttering in the wind. At the top of the flagpole is a huge black-gold battle flag, and there is a dark gold giant "Su" character in the center of the battle flag.

On the back side of the battle flag with the word "Su" is a slightly shorter black and gold flag with the word "Li" in red characters.

Under the sun, the battle flag flutters in the wind, the hunting sounds, and the font embroidered with gold thread is reflective and shining, which is particularly dazzling and dazzling, and it is conspicuous and conspicuous, so that people can instantly understand who the commander of this army is and who the general is.

Directly in front of the military formation was a young general riding a red war horse and wearing black light armor. The general looked more than seven feet, of medium stature, neither fat nor thin, and was holding a black overlord halberd and wearing a black and gold face guard.

Behind him, on the left is a black charcoal giant man with a height of more than eight feet, a big waist and a dark face.

On the right is a young general of medium stature, armed with a black and gold spear, the general's eyes are sharp, his expression is solemn, but his face is slightly fair and elegant.

The two of them, one left and one right, one black and one white, are like the black and white protectors of the heavenly court, always protecting behind the young general.

On the left side of the young general is a majestic general in black armor and red helmet, whose eyes are as sharp as a torch, and he is watching everything in the city from afar.

Yu Wenhua's face was as gloomy as water, and he pointed to the four people and asked coldly, "Do you know who those four are?"

"Big brother, it seems that we are in some trouble in this battle."

Yuwen Zhiji frowned a little, "If the junior brother didn't guess wrong, the young general in front should be Su Shang, the marshal of the Allied Army, and the strong man on his left should be Li Jing, the original commander of this army, and the two behind him are his own generals, the black charcoal giant is named Wei Chigong, and the other person should be Huang Lin." ”

"That's them!"

Yuan Li also said loudly, "I won't talk about Su Shang, I guess everyone has heard about him."

As far as I know, Li Jing and Wei Chigong are both from Mayi County, and they were both recruited when Su Shang led his army to Yanmen Pass to rescue the driver.

Li Jing is the nephew of Han Baohu, the first fierce general in the world, but his martial arts are not very high, but he is good at arranging troops, and is a military wizard.

Chi Gong, the black charcoal giant, is a civilian general, he was originally a captain under Wang Rengong, the county guard of Mayi County, and has repeatedly made military exploits, and was awarded the title of Chaosan doctor by the court for his military merits, his martial arts are very strong, and he is extremely brave in battle.

As for Huang Lin, his martial arts are also very good, he is good at using a black and gold spear, his parents are tenants of Su Shang's family, and he is also a general taught by Su Shang himself, and he is very loyal to Su Shang. ”

Yuan Li said in detail, he was born in the Yuan clan in Henan, and there are many sources of intelligence, and he knows a lot about the identity of Su Shang and others.

When everyone heard this, their faces couldn't help but change a little, and Yu Wenhua's face became even more gloomy, he thought silently for a long time before ordering: "Inform the soldiers at the head of the city to make all preparations to defend the city, and the resting soldiers are ready to support at all times, martial law will be imposed in the city from now on, and the patrol team will strengthen patrols!"

"Yes!" A herald quickly left.

"Boom! Knock knock! Boom! Knock knock! ”

At this moment, the war drums under the city sounded louder again, and became more urgent, and the well-defined military formation quickly divided into more than a dozen passages several zhang wide, and more than a dozen huge trebuchets were slowly pushed up by thousands of soldiers.

Soon, a dozen trebuchets were pushed in front of the military formation, less than two hundred paces from the city wall, which was the best attack distance for trebuchets.

After a long time of preparation, the leading general waved his hand, only to hear thousands of soldiers shouting at the same time, "Release!" More than a dozen trebuchets started at the same time in an instant, and the long arm swinged, and suddenly threw the hundreds of pounds of big stones in the air, and more than ten big stones swirled in the air, whistling and flying towards the city.

"Boom!" Large stones roared down and rolled at the head of the city, and even a few pieces passed over the city and smashed directly into the city.

Some soldiers who could not dodge were hit by big stones, and their flesh and blood were blurred in an instant, which was terrible to see, and the big stones were thrown up one after another, and the city soon resounded with screams one after another.

"Hide!"

A new round of big stones was thrown up again, and Liu Sansan, who had been favored by the god of luck, shouted and flashed, but to his surprise, after the dozen or so big stones fell this time, they did not have the power he imagined.

Large rocks fell, tumbling at the head of the city, knocking down soldiers who had no time to dodge, but in an instant they fell apart, getting smaller and smaller, and finally only the size of a human head remained, leaving a finger-sized piece of rubble along the way.
