Chapter 319: Attack on Yanjing 3
When a new weapon or a powerful weapon appears in the war, the most concerned and the first to know about it is, of course, the soldier who is closest to the war.
Although the Weibian army did not participate in the last attack on Yanjing City, and did not even set foot in Yanjing City, the Wansheng army that had recently appeared in the Yandi area broke through the Danfeng Gate of Yanjing City in one fell swoop, and they still knew about the Yanjing defenders. Therefore, when this strange long arrow smokes into the moat, it makes a very high splash and is accompanied by a loud sound, and this characteristic is linked, and it immediately reminds the soldiers of the Weibian Army of the legendary "explosive arrow".
"Exploding arrows?" Zhao Fujin said suspiciously, "I don't see what's so powerful?" ”
The commander of the Weibian army is a middle-aged man surnamed Wu, seeing that Zhao Fujin and the four guards from the capital are a little unclear, so he explained to Zhao Fujin who was on the side: "This explosive arrow is said to be made by Zhou Nan, I don't know what it is made of, it is extremely powerful, when attacking Yanjing City, Zhou Nan's men fired nine arrows together, and the Danfeng Gate was blown into pieces. That's why the defenders in the city were suppressed and Yanjing City was taken. ”
"Mighty and unbelievable, it's just used to bully men and women for him!" Zhao Fujin didn't scold Zhou Nan's prostitute this time, and said: "It's so powerful, why did you shoot into the river?" This archery technique is not as powerful as my palace maids. ”
Commander Wu heard Zhao Fujin say this, and just wanted to refute, thinking of Zhao Fujin's identity, he changed his words and said: "Of course, all of Emperor Ji's subordinates are like Emperor Ji, the husband of the female middle school, but Wan Shengjun shot this bombing arrow into the river, I am afraid that it is intentionally so, and I think it is to deter our army from advancing." ”
Sure enough, after a loud bang, the splash of water fell on both sides of the riverbank, so powerful that Liu Yanqing's soldiers did not dare to take a step forward. As a large army that has fought with the soldiers several times, it is natural to know more about the bombing of arrows than the Weibian army.
The morale of the offensive was beaten down all of a sudden, and if the morale was summoned to attack, it would not be possible for a while. Liu Yanqing looked calm behind him and said, "Let's go back for the time being." ”
As the herald sounded the horn, the Song army, which stretched for about two miles from east to west, slowly retreated back, withdrew from the archery range of the city, and rested. The corpse of Song Jun who fell to the ground was also carried back by his companions, except for some wooden sticks and scattered arrows, there were almost no other things left on the ground. Song Jun's side is no longer the rich posture it used to be, and now every knife and shot is a treasure, where will it be left behind?
After all, Liu Yanqing is also a veteran general in the army, and he has seen a lot of large and small formations, knowing that the defenders in Yanjing City are powerful in bows and arrows, as well as the explosive arrows that are easy to use, and the lack of equipment on his side is naturally a big disadvantage, but he has a lot of soldiers here! Now the difficulty is to get close to the city wall, once you can get close to the city wall, you will naturally have the opportunity to climb the city.
As for the explosive arrow, Liu Yanqing sneered, seeing that Wanshengjun was so cautious in using explosive arrows, it can be known that there will not be many explosive arrows, and when the time comes, it will be desperate to kill and wound some soldiers, and it will also attack the city.
Liu Yanqing said to the soldiers around him: "Order all commanders, order the soldiers to dig the soil on the spot and fill the river in bags!" The soldiers around him immediately passed Liu Yanqing's order to the armies on the east and west sides. 40,000 people dug the soil together, and found all kinds of things to load the soil. After a while, as the herald blew the horn, the commanding soldiers carried and carried it, and immediately ran towards the moat. The soldiers who ran at the front threw the cloth bags containing soil into the river, and those who followed stepped forward in order and threw the soil bags and soil bags into the water. After a while, half of the ten zhang wide river surface of the moat had been filled in by the Song army.
The wounded defenders of Yanjing City still stood still as they did just now, as if they had not seen the Song army's filling of the river, nor did they see anyone shooting arrows to stop them, let alone anyone shooting arrows into the water, but just quietly watched the Song army busy under the city.
"I think this thief is afraid of the power of my army, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake." Zhao Fujin said with a smug smile. Jiujiu Chinese
This time, Commander Wu didn't speak again, but the expression on his face was faintly worried.
As the river was filled in and narrowed, gradually approaching the north bank of the river, the Wansheng army on the head of the city still did not move. Under the urging of the generals, the soldiers of the Song army dug back and forth and filled the soil faster. Liu Yanqing said to the herald beside him: "Order the army to prepare to set up ladders to attack the city!" ”
The herald blew "whining", and the Song soldiers ran to the other side of the moat with a ladder. The moat of Yanjing City is built by drawing living water, and unlike other city moats, the river is filled with soil and will not overflow. After the moat of Yanjing City was filled in, the river surface suddenly did not pass the filled soil, and flowed downstream, and the water potential was obviously more than just now, and the river level that was blocked continued to rise.
Under Liu Yanqing's heavy reward, these soldiers still care about the river, even if the river flows over, it is only just past the legs, and there is nothing to worry about.
Rows of ladders leaned against the city wall, and when a large pile of Song soldiers began to climb up, a cavalry suddenly ran towards the ladder at the head of Yanjing City, holding a bow in his hand, as well as a long arrow like an explosive arrow just now.
"This cavalry is Zhou Nan's three hundred pro-army guards." Commander Wu pointed to several cavalry running on the head of the city and explained to Zhao Fujin.
"A thief's guard? How can you tell the difference? Zhao Fujin couldn't see any difference between these cavalry and other cavalry.
"Only the pro-army guards of Zhou Nan are equipped with this kind of explosive arrow." Commander Wu almost followed Zhao Fujin to say the word thief.
"This lewd thief is vicious, so many soldiers are huddled together, if it is blown up, it will not be blown up into the sky like the river just now?" Zhao Fujin said hatefully.
"When two armies are at war, naturally there is no word for mercy." Commander Wu said with a sigh. He had seen the power of the exploding arrow just now, and it was indeed huge. Now these ladders are next to each other, and there are one hundred and ten soldiers crowding under each ladder, if a few arrows are shot down at this time, how many Song soldiers will be blown into the river at once to feed the fish and shrimp? But there is no way to do it, either you kill me, or I kill you, and whoever has the slightest kindness of a woman will suffer a great loss.
Zhao Fujin was nervous and didn't dare to look anymore, she didn't want to see the soldiers on her side being killed and injured without resistance.
Zhao Fujin looked at the south bank of the river, there were still countless soldiers running under the city wall, and he didn't know if he didn't see the archers of the Wansheng Army about to shoot arrows, or if these soldiers had already put life and death aside, and didn't think about their own life or death at all.
Just like ants, the dense Song soldiers had already begun to climb up the ladder, and the Song soldiers under the ladder saw that there were no arrows on the head of the city, nor did they throw wooden stones, and they squeezed down the ladder like crazy.
Whoever is the first to climb up will be rewarded with a thousand yuan! Level up three levels!
