Chapter 382: Charizard Dragon King
The Hard Crossbow is a ranged weapon designed to deal with the follow-up team of the Jin near the moat. The Jin soldiers were not afraid of life and death and shouted forward, and soon ran to within a hundred paces, at this time they were shrouded in repeater crossbows, although the lethality was not as great as the hard crossbows, but they also caused great damage to the Jin soldiers.
However, at this time, it was also within the range of the golden soldiers' bows and arrows, and they took out their bows and arrows to shoot, only to find that their arrows did no harm to the defenders, and fell softly when they hit the body. It turned out that the defenders were wearing thick armor and helmets, and only two eyes were exposed, and unless they were shot directly in the eyes, they could not cause any damage at all. Seeing that the arrows were ineffective, the Jin soldiers gave up their bows and arrows and rushed down the city with all their might.
When they rushed to more than a dozen steps, the defenders of the city began to condescendingly throw grenades, and the golden soldiers were blown up to pieces, and they hurriedly threw down the long ladder and fled. Then they left their backs to their bows and arrows, and after leaving behind a large body of corpses, more than 200 golden soldiers managed to escape. However, the Jin soldiers also filled in the river, and then under the cover of siege towers and ladders, the Jin soldiers began to attack the city on a large scale.
Siege towers and ladders are the cover of the golden soldiers, which can effectively prevent bows and arrows, and the golden soldiers hide behind them to avoid being shot by the bows and arrows, but this equipment also has a weakness, that is, slow movement. The ladders and siege towers are propelled by manpower with many wheels, and now it is spring, and the soil is soft, and there are often embarrassments of falling into the mud.
At this time, the head of Qingzhou City completely gave up the bow and arrow, and the cannon at the head of the city rumbled, and all the shells fell into the follow-up team seven or eight hundred steps away. The shells blew up a barrier of dozens of paces between the Jin soldiers and the reinforcements, temporarily preventing them from connecting quickly.
And the magic weapon to deal with the siege soldiers is within the city walls, that is, many stone throwers. These rubble racks are within the city walls, and the gold people outside the city cannot see them, so they have a certain degree of concealment. The stone throwing machine is arranged in five neat rows, there are dozens of stone throwing machines in a row, each column has five stone throwing machines, and a locator in one column stands on the city to command, and directs a column of stone throwing machines with a password. In one launch, many stones fell from the sky in a linear manner, and the golden soldiers who were smashed by the stones in the sky had nowhere to hide, and a large number of golden soldiers were killed and wounded, and the siege equipment was also damaged. This is a very advanced technology, called the indirect aiming method, which is a unique military invention in the autonomous region.
Despite this, Jin Bing still did not retreat, like a group of greedy caterpillars, squirming hard towards the city of Qingzhou. After Yan Zonghan sent troops to attack one after another, vowing to take Qingzhou one day, even under the explosion of the grenade, he still moved forward.
After a large number of casualties, the Jin soldiers finally arrived at the city, and they also had confidence, and they set up ladders and siege towers to climb to the top of the city.
At this time, the golden soldiers did not hide and hide, they struggled to rush to the equipment, and the bows and arrows and grenades in the city became defensive weapons, and the dense golden soldiers were blown up to the point that their intestines were rotten, their arms and legs were broken.
At this moment, the golden soldiers who made the military order were like a group of soulless zombies, ignoring the death of their companions and their own safety, and climbing the wall one after another with rare strength.
Seeing that there were Jin soldiers climbing up the wall, Huang Xin shouted: "Set up the Charizard Dragon King!" ”
Immediately, some long pipes were erected on the city wall, and then they were pointed at the ladder and siege tower of the golden soldiers, and then the switch was turned on, only to see a strong flame erupting.
This is Ou Yangming's improved flamethrower, named Charizard Dragon King, which is a weapon for defending the city.
The blow caused by the flames to the Jin Bing was particularly big, and the Jin Bing after being sprayed by the flames was a fireball, which landed in a scream, and he couldn't die all of a sudden, crawling or running on the ground with the fire, which caused a particularly big visual fear to the Jin Bing.
Moreover, most of the siege equipment was made of wood, and although the outside was wrapped with fireproof materials, it could also be burned by spraying flames from the exit. In an instant, the siege equipment ignited a raging fire, and some of the golden soldiers were burned to the ground, and the ghosts cried wolves. Having lost their siege equipment, a large number of golden soldiers could only stand under the city in fear, and then fell to the ground amid the constant sound of explosions.
Wanyan Zonghan saw that the defenders' new weapons were emerging in an endless stream, and the siege equipment was destroyed again, so he reluctantly ordered a retreat.
Looking at the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood under the city, the political commissar asked: "Commander Huang, are we fighting too hard, will the Jin soldiers retreat in the face of difficulties, and if they don't come to attack Qingzhou again, let the task of encirclement and annihilation fail?" ”
Huang Xin said: "No! The golden man is like a greedy wolf, and his nature of retribution determines that he will not give up! They're going to come back again! "Kiss
After attacking the city several times in a row, they were all knocked down, and the joy that had just risen was replaced by disappointment, and Zhang Yong was somewhat frustrated. However, there is also something to be thankful to him, as the intensity of the siege increases, his team not only did not attrition, but increased a lot, and he firmly believed that if this continued, it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.
It turned out that several forces that were attached to Yang Jin along the way switched to Zhang Yong, because the conditions offered by Zhang Yong were too tempting, and Yang Jin almost did not propose a rich reward after breaking the city.
The war at the southeast gate has always been a feint, because Han Shizhong knew in his heart that the attack on Bianjing was a tactical need, not a strategic need, and as long as he succeeded in transferring Liu Lin back, it would be a victory.
On the contrary, if you really want to defeat Bianjing, you will become a hot yam, and you will not give up and be uncomfortable, because the power of the autonomous region has not extended to Henan.
Moreover, with the poor conditions of the righteous army, I don't know how many people will have to fall to succeed in capturing Bianjing, if these people are brought to the autonomous region, some people who are not suitable for the battlefield will definitely be suitable for cultivating the wasteland, and they will become the industrious bees of the autonomous region, and now they will die in vain.
As for those who switched to Zhang's wall, Han Shizhong is not a pity at all, this kind of person who values interests above everything else is more likely to defect, so don't do it.
On this day, the sentinel of the autonomous region sent news that Liu Lin's reinforcements would arrive in Bianjing in one more day. Han Shizhong saw that his goal had been achieved, so he prepared to lead the team to withdraw to the autonomous region. Because there were still many Jin soldiers and Korean troops coming to reinforce them, but they were afraid that the rebel army would be overwhelming and hibernated, and as long as Liu Lin arrived, they would inevitably flock to it. With so many regular armies involved, these rebels had only one outcome, a rout.
Zhang Yong had no intention of defecting to the autonomous region, and even less of withdrawing his troops, he wanted to carry out the offensive to the end. Seeing Yang Jin's withdrawal, he was not angry but happy, so that he would enjoy the benefits alone, in his opinion, Bianjing was in his pocket, as for Liu Lin's reinforcements, an army was enough to defeat this gentlemanly prince.
In the troubled times, only by taking a city as a place to settle down can we develop again and have the possibility of competing for the world.
Yang Jin saw that Zhang was looking at the rat, so he led the army to withdraw. Zhang Yong immediately divided his troops to surround the four gates, and sent Cao Cheng to lead an army to block Liu Lin, and the attack was carried out even more frantically.
Not far from Bianjing City, Li Cheng, who arrived first from the trail, was quietly watching the situation, and as long as there was a chance, his 8,000 soldiers would stab Zhang Yong's heart like a sharp knife.
A chill rose in Zhang's heart, he felt powerless, and he couldn't grasp the next plan. Cao Cheng's fiasco completely shattered his wishful thinking, and he couldn't figure out how hundreds of thousands of rebels could lose to a prince.
Now what? If you retreat, it will be useless, and it will also affect morale, and if the Korean army pursues, the team will be scattered. If you stay, you will be attacked by the enemy at that time, and you will be even more defeated.
He weighed and decided to retreat, after all, he still had more than 100,000 horses in his hands, and the capital to make a comeback.
Zhang Yong's righteous army is a combination of several groups of men and horses, and it can be united in a battle, and when it retreats, it will go its own way, and whoever has the fastest leg will run first. As soon as the news of the retreat was announced, several groups of men and horses couldn't wait to speed up their pace, as if the army behind them was chasing after their butts, and they scared themselves into shivering.
Just when the rebels were scrambling to retreat, Li Cheng led his men and horses to kill with him, and the rebels were disheartened, and they scattered after a little resistance. Li Cheng waved his army to cover up the killing, and at the same time sent someone to report to Liu Yu. When Liu Yu saw that the reinforcements had arrived, he immediately sent a team in the city to pursue him.
In less than an hour, the reinforcements led by Liu Lin arrived. Liu Lin promised that after defeating the thief army, everyone would be ten taels of silver, and those who killed the most enemies would be promoted to one level, and this promise made the Korean army forget all their tiredness, and they vented all their anger on the rebels, chasing them desperately, and finally trapped Zhang Yongbu.
In desperation, Zhang Yong led his troops to surrender, and from then on, Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng became generals in Korea.
