Chapter 375: Unstoppable (Three Watches)
"Woo!"
When the horn sounded, 5,000 infantry roared, carrying all kinds of siege equipment and began to attack the city.
The defenders in the city were indeed 10,000 men under the command of Li Cunxin, but the low city walls could not put down these 10,000 cavalry.
Therefore, he left 2,000 infantry to defend the city wall, and the others gathered in the city, waiting for Li Cunxiao, who wanted to teach Li Cunxiao a profound lesson.
Outside the city, the infantry of the Zuo Shenwei army had already begun to attack the city.
The crossbowmen were constantly shooting arrows at the defenders on the walls, while the sword and shield soldiers in charge of the siege carefully managed to climb the tower with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.
From time to time, the defenders were hit by arrows and fell down, and many siege soldiers were also smashed down by the defenders on the city tower with stones and rolling logs.
Although there were many casualties, the soldiers under the city walls still climbed the ladder without fear of death.
This kind of siege can only be seen in the armies of these feudal towns.
In the battle of the forbidden army, it is basically impossible.
Even if there is no Divine Machine Cannon and Divine Ce General Cannon, the general forbidden army also has a Heavenly Ce Cannon.
The Tiance cannon is a bit bulky, but it's easy to use.
And when it is used up, it is disassembled, then pulled by a horse-drawn cart, and then assembled when needed, and the shells can be taken from local materials.
At present, there is no city wall in Datang that can withstand the attack of Tiance artillery.
If a few dozen catties of stones can't work, then a hundred or ten catties, a few hundred catties, such a stone bullet, if you smash it, you have to smash a hole in the city wall.
After a few rounds, the walls were smashed open, and the soldiers were still required to risk climbing the ladders?
"General, the situation is a little wrong, there are not many defenders on the city tower, there should only be two or three thousand people, but as far as we know, Li Cunxin's 10,000 army has arrived, it is impossible to have such a small number of people." Guo Chongtao said a little worriedly.
Li Cunxiao didn't care, "Don't think about it, my righteous brother Shiyou is waiting for me in the city." Just wait for the gates to be broken, and then I will let him know the consequences of speaking ill of me in the first place. ”
"Bang!"
As soon as Li Cunxiao's words fell, dozens of soldiers holding shields had already pushed a makeshift siege vehicle to the city gate.
The defenders on the tower hurriedly threw stones and rolling logs at the soldiers, smashing a hole in the shield array below each time.
However, the people around quickly made up for it, protecting the siege vehicle with their lives. A battering ram made of a large log slammed into the gate, and with each impact, the gate shuddered and a large amount of sand fell.
Shexian is a small county town, the city wall is low, and the city gate is not very strong.
As the soldiers of the Zuo Shenwei Army outside the city gate hit back and forth, they were finally overwhelmed, and they collapsed with a 'boom'.
Seeing the city gate wide open, Li Cunxiao immediately rode his horse forward, "Soldiers, rush!" ”
After saying that, Li Cunxiao rushed out cautiously, followed by thousands of cavalry and infantry behind him.
"General, Li Cunxiao's army has already entered the city!"
A general came to Li Cunxin and reported loudly.
Li Cunxin was in the middle of the military formation, holding a spear in his hand, smiling coldly, his expression was cold and terrifying, "Is Cunxiao finally here?" It's time for us brothers to settle the score.
Tell the order to go down, and the crossbowmen are ready! ”
In the city, on the streets on both sides of the street, in the houses, on the roofs, a black-clothed crossbowman was waiting for him, and the rows of iron arrows exuded a cold cold light, which was breathtaking!
"Ready, shoot!"
The first to storm into the city was not Li Cunxiao's cavalry, but the infantry who had been located near the city gate before, but as soon as they entered the city, they felt the troops.
Suddenly, there was a burst of screams, and the soldiers of the Right Divine Army fell to the ground with sharp arrows stuck in their chests.
Soon, one after another, the soldiers were hit by arrows, and the sound of snorting came and went, and it never stopped.
Even the soldiers were holding shields, even wooden shields covered with cowhides, but they were overwhelmed and unable to stop the rain of arrows.
"Get out of the way!"
Just as the soldiers were about to retreat, a loud roar suddenly came from behind, and the soldiers hurriedly flashed aside, and then saw a fast horse whizzing past them.
Then more and more cavalry rushed into the city, and the soldiers, who had been frustrated in the attack, suddenly increased their confidence!
"It's the Great General!"
"Li Cunxiao!"
Seeing the figure that had already rushed into the military array on his side, Li Cunxin couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Kill me, shoot Li Cunxiao for me!"
The sound of anger and corruption spread throughout the Shatuo army array, but in the face of the brave Li Cunxiao, no one could stop him at all.
And the other soldiers of the Left Shenwei Army, one by one, are like divine help, and they play extraordinarily.
Originally, Li Cunxin planned to make a wave of Li Cunxiao, but he didn't expect to be reversed by Li Cunxiao, and the whole city fell into chaos for a while.
As the city descended into chaos, so did the battle for the city walls. Seeing that the imperial army had already attacked the city, the defenders of Hedong on the city wall also panicked, and their defense was also a little slack.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, more and more soldiers of the Zuo Shenwei Army attacked the city wall.
Killing, groaning, screaming, and blood filled the entire battlefield, and all kinds of shouts and killings were intertwined, composing a war song of blood and fire.
"Li Cunxin, dare to fight with me!"
Killing the two Hedong soldiers in front of him, Li Cunxiao saw Li Cunxin in the distance, so he shouted, and as he spoke, he rode his horse and rushed over.
And Li Cunxin did not see his brother's joy, but looked panicked.
That's right, it's panic.
In terms of strategy, Li Cunxin is a person who can't be compared to several Li Cunxiao combined, but in terms of martial arts, a few Li Cunxin can't beat one Li Cunxiao.
It can be said that Li Cunxin is a brave and resourceful person in Hedong, and has the potential to become a commander.
In his early years, he followed Li Keyong, fought against Huangchao, cut down fields, and was invincible and unstoppable.
"Stop him, stop him for me!"
Seeing Li Cunxiao coming, Li Cunxin hurriedly shouted, and the soldiers in front of him hesitated for a while but stepped forward one after another, but no one was Li Cunxiao's enemy.
One lance and one person, and soon Li Cunxiao's corpse fell all the way behind him.
And Li Cunxiao's personal soldiers hurriedly followed, responsible for protecting Li Cunxiao's safety so that the other party would not be besieged.
In this melee, Li Cunxin couldn't escape at all, and was soon caught up by Li Cunxiao.
Seeing the latter under his command, Li Cunxin hurriedly raised his gun to block it.
However, as soon as he fought, Li Cunxin felt a huge force pressing him, and the tiger's mouth suddenly cracked, and his spear was also bent.
Not only that, but the sharp point of the front end of the long lance in Li Cunxiao's hand was nailed into Li Cunxin's left shoulder, and a sharp pain was transmitted to the brain through the nerves on the shoulder, and the blood flowed.
If he hadn't reacted and tilted his head to the right, his skull might have cracked open by now.
It can be seen that Li Cunxiao has no intention of showing mercy to his subordinates at all.
"General!"
Seeing that Li Cunxin was injured, the surrounding soldiers all killed him with red eyes.
Although they were all killed by Li Cunxiao under the horse in the end, the other cavalry took advantage of this gap to escort Li Cunxin out of the battlefield.
And looking at the dense Hedong step in front of him, Li Cunxiao knew that it was impossible for him to catch up.
It's a pity that such a good opportunity failed to kill Li Cunxin.
As for what kind of brotherhood, I don't know where to throw it for a long time.
The two have had a long-standing contradiction, and they both want to put each other to death, thinking of brotherhood and showing mercy? Li Cunxin will not do this, and neither will Li Cunxiao.
Moreover, the two are not brothers, where can there be such a deep brotherly love.
The main generals have all run away, and the remaining Shatuo soldiers have no fighting spirit even if they are brave, not to mention that Li Cunxiao is famous.
The rest of the Shatuo soldiers rushed towards the west, while Zuo Shenwei's army took the opportunity to chase and kill for several miles, until the corpses were all over the field.
