Chapter 545: Heavy Artillery
Dozens of heavy trebuchets are being put into use, and the stone bullets are whistling out, fast and powerful, smashing on the city, booming, directly smashing half of the female wall battlements, and the soldiers hiding behind were directly shocked to the point of gold stars, and their ears were buzzing and screaming.

Rumble! Boom!
The stone bullets smashed wildly, constantly bombarding the city wall, as if the sky was falling apart, which had already made the Northern Qi army tremble.
Most of them are new soldiers, they have not gone through bloody battles, and it is already very good to be able to fight with the elites of the city to such a point, and it is completely a matter of occupying geographical advantages, but now, such a heavy weapon bombarding the city makes them afraid, and they have no will to fight.
Originally, Luo Cheng's prestige was widely spread, and now he personally commanded under the city, the soldiers of the Sui army were brave and fearless, the weapons were refined, and the power of such stone cannons made the guards on the city have no intention of fighting.
After several rounds of heavy blows, more than half of the battlements at the head of the city were smashed, and some of the walls were full of cracks and holes.
The Sui army watched from the city, and they all felt palpitations, this kind of heavy trebuchet was several times more powerful than the previous man-powered cart stone-throwing weapon.
Luo Zhaoyun then ordered to advance the catapult, adjust the angle, let the stone projectiles pass over the city and smash into the city, cutting off the supply and assistance of the defenders, and at the same time the crossbow battalion began to continue to fire arrows to suppress the Northern Qi army at the head of the city.
The war drums were beating, the power was violent, and dozens of horns sounded in unison, which was the rallying cry to continue the siege.
Xue Wanqian understood, commanded more than 8,000 horses, and continued to attack the city.
"Knock knock knock......" The city also sounded the sound of war drums urging a counterattack, but when the Northern Qi soldiers heard the drums, they no longer had the excitement of blood and blood, and only felt irritable, frightened, and demoralized.
"Kill—"
The Sui soldiers were even more fierce, because the stone bullets and crossbow machines gave them confidence, and at this time they roared hoarsely, condensing a courageous and invincible morale, everyone can burst out with amazing potential, and their movements are more agile, the speed of climbing, the reaction to dodging cold arrows, etc., have been greatly improved.
The red tassels were stained with blood, the long knives were cold, and the soldiers armed with knives and guns kept climbing the ladders, and as they approached the city, they braved the attack of cold arrows, rolling logs, and stones.
However, the scale and strength of the guards' counterattack were not as good as before, and they lost the courage of the soldier's horse leather shroud not to be afraid of death.
If a soldier is no longer strong-standing, then he is not much different from a farmer.
"It's just a little bit, rush up for me, the young marshal is still staring at us behind, sharp knife battalion, give me up, Kecheng is at this time." Xue Wanqian is very brave, in his twenties, hot-blooded, proficient in martial arts, he has already dismounted, did not sit on horseback to command, but approached the city.
"General Xue must not come any closer, otherwise there will be danger." There are guards who are comforting Xue Wanren.
After all, he is now a commanding general, with an official rank of partial general, responsible for the command of the siege team of 10,000 people.
In the army, according to the actual combat positions, they are often divided into generals, generals, sub-generals, partial generals (generals), captains, captains, centurions, team leaders, fire chiefs, etc., which are simple and practical; In terms of civilian duties, there are one Cao in the army, including Changshi, Sima, Lushi, Gong, Cang, Bing, and Cai.
When there is no war, when the military attaches in the army return to the government and the capital, they will distinguish their ranks according to the cumbersome military ranks and official qualities such as chariot generals and generals.
Xue Wanyan sneered when he heard this: "I am so young, I am greedy for life and afraid of death, hide behind, and then I don't want to become a real enemy of ten thousand people, general!" ”
"Second brother, you are the commander of your own army, you must not take risks!" Xue Wanbei rode his horse to follow and comfort.
"Now you can command here, I'll go and break the city!" Xue Wancheng carried a horizontal knife on his back and a spear in his hand, and rushed forward quickly, and his eight personal guards shook their heads and smiled bitterly when they saw this, they also had to follow closely, this was their duty, to protect the safety of their main general.
The two sides were staggered, blood was splashed, and the city was already fighting each other, hand-to-hand fighting.
Xue Wanqian was extremely fast and powerful, holding a gun in his hand, and rushed by inertia, and the soldiers in front of him saw that the general was personally killed, and they all dodged the way.
"Sons, follow me to kill, the opportunity for meritorious service has arrived." He roared loudly to boost morale, and when the people around him heard this, they became even more fanatical, quickly climbing the ladder and risking their lives to go up.
"Kill it!"
The Sui army was in an uproar, surging up like a torrent.
Gao Weiyuan, the general guarding the pass in the city, was helpless, the stone bullets broke through the air and bombarded, and many people were killed and injured, and some garrison buildings in the city collapsed, so that the replacement of the guards and wounded who defended the city could not be changed in time, and the military spirit was also scattered, and more and more Sui soldiers and soldiers who jumped on the city could be seen.
Dangdangdang -
The clashing of weapons became louder and louder, hand-to-hand combat, swords and swords, endless fighting, terrible screams, angry roars, mixed together, and bloody pictures everywhere.
"Hey!" When Xue Wancheng was about to approach the head of the city, he quickly dodged in the face of the guard's shots, and then inserted the spear into the wall, turned over and jumped, and jumped directly onto the city.
His eyebrows were like lightning, brandishing his spear, and he directly killed the enemy crowd, like a wolf entering a breeding circle, unfolding exquisite martial arts, stabbing, picking, piercing, sweeping, approaching the Northern Qi soldiers in front of him, he was killed by him in three or two strokes, and a corpse fell.
Then more and more Sui soldiers climbed to the top of the city, flocking to Xue Wancheng's back and side, so that the number of people increased and the strength became stronger.
The guard Gao Weiyuan tried his best to prevent the soldiers from resisting, but at this time, control of the city was gradually lost and it was difficult to regain it.
A group of elite soldiers slaughtered the city gate, as long as the city gate was opened and the iron cavalry outside entered the city, then the overall situation was settled.
"It's over." Gao Weiyuan is in his forties and belongs to the distant branch of the royal family, and he is disheartened at this time and feels that something big is going to happen.
Sure enough, there was a fierce battle at the city gate, and dozens of death squads were attacking the guards inside the entrance of the city gate, so that they could not block the door, and the car outside the city took the opportunity to slam into it, and soon the stone gate was opened.
The military horses outside the city are already unstoppable, and Linyu Pass is about to change hands.
