Chapter 32: Three Arrows and Three Generals

Accurate artillery stones fell on the city wall, smashing the towering Nanyang City into thousands of holes.

It is also thanks to Nanyang is the water and land that connects Jingxiang, it is a place where soldiers must fight in ancient times, the city wall is thick and solid, it can resist for a while, and it is replaced by an ordinary city, or an hour, the city tower will let the pieces of artillery stones collapse.

In the face of this relentless bombardment of artillery stones, Zhang Xun in Nanyang City seemed to have no power to fight back, and blindly shrank his head.

Zhang Wanqing personally stood near a giant stone throwing machine and commanded.

As a general, Zhang Wanqing is not proficient in civil and military affairs, and it can be said that he is not qualified.

But people have specialization, and for the use of siege equipment, Zhang Wanqing is as pure as fire. Especially in the aspect of over-control stone throwing machine, it has been hard work. For the range and hit of the stone thrower, the details were studied, how many catties of blast stones, what angle to use, and how much effort to try, all in Zhang Wanqing's mind.

The catapult cannot be as accurate as a bow and arrow, but it can have a 50% hit rate, and one of the two cannon stones is especially terrible.

Especially during the siege, the cannon stones continue to hit an area, which can collapse the city wall to the greatest extent.

After nearly half an hour of bombing, the head of Nanyang City was in a mess, and even the command room of the city tower was half bombed.

Zhang Wanqing was complacent, according to this situation, it would not be long before Nanyang could be captured, seeing that Nanyang had no extra ability to resist, he transferred all the catapults to the front line, intending to push it in waves.

An Lushan had already made a promise before attacking Nanyang, whoever could open the situation in Nanyang would be the king of Nanyang, and everything in Nanyang City belonged to him.

Zhang Wanqing didn't know what the future would be, but he had already boarded An Lushan's thief ship, and he could only go all the way to the end.

Nanyang has been rich since ancient times, outstanding people, and being able to be a king of Nanyang is not in vain to come to this world for a while.

Suddenly, Zhang Wanqing found that more than a dozen boulders flew out of the drum tower in Nanyang City.

The generals in the city were obviously far inferior to them in their use of the catapults, and the hit rate was a bit dismal, but the victory was sufficient.

More than a dozen boulders fell into the formation of his stone-throwing cart, and a giant stone-throwing cart was directly collapsed. Although the rest missed the target, the surrounding guards and soldiers hit the pond fish and killed many of them......

Zhang Wanqing looked at the wailing soldiers under his command, and was furious in his heart, shouting: "Follow me in the direction of the drum tower and teach them how to play the gunbuo...... Wait a minute! ”

He glanced at the distance and found that the drum tower was higher, and their stone-throwing cart was hit below, and the range was a little insufficient, so he almost didn't hesitate, and directly ordered the stone-throwing cart to move forward by ten zhang spacing.

Whew, whew, whew......

The boulder smashed against the drum tower of Nanyang City, and the drum tower was hit hard.

However, the catapult was not affected by the distribution of the catapult due to its somewhat tricky position, but launched a second round of attacks.

Because Zhang Wanqing moved the distance of the rock-throwing truck, it was easier for the Tang army to concentrate on the target, which brought them a lot of casualties.

There were bursts of cheers from the Nanyang City Tower.

"Bastard!"

Zhang Wanqing's eyes were red, he scolded, and came directly to the nearest gunstone cart, shouting: "A group of fools, you can't see where the stone-throwing cart is, can't you think with your brain?" Where the stone flew from, the catapult was diagonally below. "He did it himself, aiming at the prediction in one go.

The boulder roared out and flew directly onto the city wall and jumped over the drum tower.

They couldn't see if the boulder had hit the stone-throwing cart in the city, but as the cannon stone fell, there was a dead silence on the tower of Nanyang City.

Zhang Wanqing waved his arm violently and said proudly: "Just fight like this, where there is resistance, where to fight." We're not just going to win them tactically, we're going to make them scared, we're going to make them timid......"

He was talking proudly, when suddenly he found that the gate of Nanyang City had actually opened.

Three thousand cavalry burst out under this situation, and the other party directly rushed towards the catapult array where they were killed.

This stone-throwing cart is a siege weapon, and it is very valuable, and An Lushan also arranged special guards for soldiers.

But before Nanyang was beaten into a shrunken turtle, under the strong pressure of the stone throwing car, he couldn't even do a basic counterattack.

No one thought that the Tang army in the city would have the courage to rush out.

In this panic, Yang Chaozong commanded his soldiers to set up a formation to meet the enemy.

But the Tang army in the city came really fast, and they had already killed closer.

"Juan, He Ping, set up the formation, release the arrows!"

The rebel general Yang Chaozong shouted.

The infantry phalanx on the right flank totaled 5,600 men, with spearmen led by Juan in front and crossbowmen led by He Ping in the rear. At this time, Juan had just laid down 1,100 spearmen in layers to guard against the surprise of the opposing cavalry: the first row of soldiers erected half-man-high shields on the ground and placed their spears on the shields, while the soldiers behind them placed their spears on the shoulders of the people in front of them.

Waiting for the position of He Ping's hard crossbowmen behind him.

The strong crossbow is a unique weapon of the Han people in ancient times, and it has always been invincible in dealing with cavalry.

As long as the crossbow array is in place, these thousands of Tang Army cavalry are not stuffing their teeth?

Yang Chaozong was thinking like this, and suddenly found that the strong crossbow team was actually in turmoil, and they did not line up in place at the first time.

Crossbow arrows are not as good as bows and arrows, bows and arrows are mainly projectiles, and no matter how the soldiers stand, they do not affect the shooting. However, the crossbow arrows are fired horizontally, and if they are not lined up in formation, they are not enough to exert their power at all.

Yang Chaozong was about to scold angrily, but he unexpectedly found that He Ping, the crossbow commander, was actually killed, and he didn't find out how he died.

Yang Chaozong looked at the gun array, in this situation, he could only hope that He Ping, as long as he blocked the Tang army's charge for a quarter of an hour, the crossbowmen would be in place.

His eyes looked at He Ping, and he was shocked to find that He Ping, who was organizing an infantry formation, let an arrow hit the front door, and died on the spot.

This has not yet come into contact with the enemy, and they actually killed two commanders and generals, how can this battle be fought.

Yang Chaozong's head was big for a while.

The elite cavalry of the Tang army broke through the infantry and crossbow formations with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, and they did not allow the soldiers to entangle more, and ran directly to the direction where the stone-throwing cart was.

Yang Chaozong shouted in shock, and directly arranged for his personal guards to immediately support Zhang Wanqing, and arranged for soldiers to block the way of the Tang army's elite cavalry.

Zhang Wanqing's Jiangnan Tang Army came to kill himself like a wolf and a tiger, only to be frightened and helpless, his limbs were cold, and he hid among the soldiers.

Nan Jiyun danced with a big gun, broke the rebels in front of him, and searched for Zhang Wanqing's whereabouts left and right.

The rebels' catapults spread all over the wilderness, but Zhang Xun said that Zhang Wanqing was nearby.

Nan Jiyun has always believed in the judgment of his coach, but he is surrounded by enemies on all sides, how easy is it to find someone in a short time?

Suddenly, he noticed a swift group of soldiers rushing to his flank, and they surrounded one man.

Nan Jiyun smiled slightly, with indescribable confidence and demeanor.

Then bend your bow and shoot an arrow!

When the arrow arrives, the man dies!
