Chapter 488: Siege
The Jin army rushed from afar, without any stop, and went straight to Daxing City.
Wan Yanchang knew very well in his heart that this time he came to attack Daxing City, what he wanted was a surprise, so the soldiers were fast, and he had to be fast at this time, otherwise there would be no sneak attack.
Wan Yanchang didn't know, in fact, his actions had been known to the Song army since last night, and he had already made corresponding arrangements.
Therefore, Wan Yanchang led his army and came menacingly, without any shouting, and rushed up directly.
Qi Baifeng couldn't help but shake his head after seeing Yan Chang's appearance, he was in such a hurry, was this going to be reincarnated?
However, when it came closer, Wan Yanchang's army had to stop, because the Song army's arrow array was too powerful, especially those bed crossbows, which were indestructible, and the ordinary shields in the hands of the soldiers could not resist at all.
In the ordinary arrow array, Jin Jun has a shield in his hand, but he still has the strength to fight, but now such a car slave, Wan Yanchang really has no choice, and at this time he needs a stone-throwing car to play.
However, the catapult is a large siege machine, and it moves much slower than the infantry, and it is still behind at this time.
Wan Yanchang secretly scolded himself for miscalculation, at this time, without the cover of the stone throwing cart, if he didn't destroy the bed crossbow on the city wall, there was no way to attack the city.
But now that the siege has begun, it is obviously not a wise decision to stop hastily, after all, this siege is about one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, if it is interrupted in the middle, the impact on morale is huge.
But in this situation, if you continue to forcibly attack the city, the casualties will definitely be very huge.
After thinking about it, Wan Yanchang finally gritted his teeth, at this time he could only bite the bullet, he should have really called the battle in front first, and by the way, he bought time for the stone-throwing truck.
It's just that it's a little late to figure it out now.
The Jin army continued to rush forward, Qi Baifeng looked at the appearance of the Jin army under the city wall, and shook his head helplessly, is this Jin army crazy? In this case, you are still rushing, so you can't wait for your own stone throwing truck?
In fact, Wan Yanchang also wanted to wait, but at this time he couldn't wait, after all, he needed a success too much.
The huge crossbow bolt was like the scythe of death, there was no need to aim at all, as long as it was shot, it could shoot a piece of Jin army soldiers, many of these Jin army soldiers were some new soldiers, and they all felt fear from the bottom of their hearts when they saw such a situation.
With such a powerful tool, how can this battle be fought.
But the general did not give the order to retreat, they could only rush up, after all, the result of being a deserter was a dead end, but rushing forward, as long as they killed the city wall, they still had hope of survival.
Because of this thought, the Jin army rushed down the city with all their strength, and the rain of arrows came to their faces, and the war was actually a huge meat grinder, and they ruthlessly crushed all their lives.
At this moment, on a hillside not far away, Zhao Huan and others were watching this duel from a distance.
"Is Yan Chang already crazy after this, why is this battle so fought?" Han Shizhong smashed this mouth and said with some embarrassment.
"Hehe, Wan Yanchang is not crazy, but he needs a victory too much, so at this time, he would rather die a little more than retreat, because he knows that as long as he retreats, he will already lose this battle." Zhao Huan said lightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, this state is very good, Wan Yanchang paid the price, and then even if the Song army released water and let the Jin army attack the city, Wan Yanchang would definitely not doubt it at this time.
Everything is going according to plan.
Half an hour later, the Jin army's stone-throwing carts finally arrived late, and Wan Yanchang hurriedly ordered people to load cannonballs, the so-called stones, and began to shell the walls of Daxing City.
With the cover of long-range firepower, the Song army was "forced" to withdraw from the city wall at this time, and the Jin army below the city wall finally had a chance to take a breath, otherwise in the face of the dense arrow rain of the Song army, they really didn't want to rush forward anymore.
But in just half an hour, the Jin army has already suffered a large number of casualties, and the ground is already densely covered with the corpses of the Jin soldiers.
But fortunately, everything was worth it now, and they finally reached the city of Daxing City.
After arriving at the city of Daxing City, Wan Yanchang finally breathed a long sigh of relief, it seemed that this was already the victory of the war, but this was the beginning of the close exchange of fire between the two sides.
Since their soldiers had already reached the city wall, in order to prevent harm to their own people, the catapult was ineffective and was ordered to stop the attack, and the Jin army began to attack the city in full force.
Escalators were erected on the city wall from all sides, and the Jin soldiers began to rush towards the top of the city wall of Daxing City impatiently.
Without the threat of the stone thrower, at this time the Song soldiers rushed up again, and in the face of the menacing Jin army, they began to continuously throw boulders and sassal trees below the city, causing a wave of damage to the Jin army besieging the city.
Attacking the city, you always have to pay the price of your life, Wan Yanchang's face was serious, in fact, at this time, the war has not gone wrong in general, everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Although the Jin army is some new soldiers, but also brave enough, at this time the soldiers in front of them fell, the soldiers in the back were not afraid, but rushed forward one after another, one person fell, and the people behind immediately added his position, endless appearance.
The war entered a brief stalemate.
Qi Baifeng was not in a hurry to let the soldiers retreat, at this time the Song army still occupied the control of the city wall, he could take advantage of this time to wantonly destroy the Jin army, after all, the Song army at this time was condescending, and it was still very advantageous to deal with the Jin army.
But soon the Jin army had already soldiers rushing to the top of the city wall.
The two sides began to fight over the city walls, and the situation of the war began to tilt somewhat in the direction of the Jin army.
Wan Yanchang, who was in the rear of the battlefield, soon got the news.
"Report, General, our army has already attacked the city wall, and now a large number of soldiers are attacking the city wall, and I believe that the city wall will be occupied soon." The herald said to Wan Yanchang with some excitement.
Wan Yanchang heard the news, slapped his hands vigorously, and said, "Okay! ”
