Chapter 728: Attack on Changli
Mobile reading
Gongsun Kang's words aroused the fighting spirit in the chests of the generals of the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong Army has achieved great feats in recent years, they are the Liaodong Army, the elite Liaodong Army, how can they be troubled by the situation in front of them.
"I am willing to fight to the death with the general." Yang Yi came out of the ranks, he knew that at this time, it was necessary to cheer up the morale of the army, and the first to bear the brunt was the generals of the various departments, if even they were afraid of war, let alone the soldiers below.
"I am willing to fight to the death with the general." The rest of the generals chimed in, their words revealing anger.
Seeing this, Liu Yi nodded secretly, Gongsun Kang has grown up, but even so, if he provokes such a strong opponent in Liaodong, will Liaodong still be stable.
Compared with the low morale of the defenders, the Youzhou army is more lively, and more soldiers are discussing today's battle outside the city, Lu Bu alone against the heroic posture of three enemy generals, that is one enemy three.
"My lord, now the military heart is available." Huang Zhongdao.
Lu Bu nodded and said: "After Gao Shun escorts the grain and grass baggage, he can attack Changli, what if there are 10,000 defenders in the city, Ben Hou will break it with a dignified and upright army, and order the craftsmen who come with the army to build siege equipment as soon as possible, and the soldiers of each department will prepare soil bags to fill the moat of Changli as soon as possible." ”
"Whoa." The soldiers in the tent hugged their fists and had absolute confidence in breaking Changli.
"Marquis of Jin, it was the negligence of his duties before, which allowed the Liaodong Army to succeed, so that the army suffered heavy losses." Uyan's face turned ashamed.
Lu Bu's face was a little cold, "Are the Wuhuan people so vulnerable?" ”
Uyan reluctantly stepped aside.
Changli is four zhang high, such a height may not be anything in some counties in the Central Plains, but in the eyes of Wuhuan and other aliens, it is high, and the aliens lack effective means of attack when attacking the Han city, and the four-zhang high city wall and moat are enough to make them pay a heavy price.
Three days later, huge equipment appeared in the west, south, and north of Changli City, and more than a dozen soldiers were busy next to each device, and the defenders with good eyesight could see that huge stones with slightly regular shapes were piled up around the soldiers.
200 thunderbolts, of which there are 100 thunderbolts in the west of the city, when they attacked the Wuhuan people's Feiru, they just used 100 thunderbolts, which shows Lu Bu's determination to break through Liaodong, no matter what kind of exploits Gongsun Du has in Liaodong, as long as it threatens the interests of Bingzhou and Youzhou, it must be eradicated, otherwise when the Bingzhou army conquers Xianbei in the future, the Liaodong army and the Jizhou army will unite together, and the damage to Youzhou will be huge, Lu Bu will not allow such a situation to happen, only war, in order to settle down in Youzhou.
"I think this thing is the rumored thunderbolt." Liu Yi said with a heavy face, looking around, there are hundreds of thunderbolt cars in the west of the city, and on the left and right of the thunderbolt are cavalry guarding them, the defenders have lost their hearts in the battle a few days ago, even if they send cavalry to raid, it is difficult to have an effect, and the most powerful cavalry in the Youzhou army is the cavalry.
How to contain these thunderbolts is the most important thing for the defenders at present, but Liu Yi, who is in Liaodong, knows very little about the characteristics of the thunderbolts, and can only better understand when the thunderbolts project boulders.
The defenders' greatest reliance is the city wall, and what will happen when the wall they rely on loses its due purpose?
After debugging the thunderbolt, Zhao Wu gave an order, and the thunderbolt began to be suppressed by them, and the boulders roared towards the city.
The defenders, who were faced with such a situation for the first time, were stunned to watch the boulders whizzing at a distance of two hundred paces from them, which was completely beyond their understanding, even with the advantage of the city wall, the archers could only shoot their bows and arrows at a distance of one hundred and twenty paces at most, these monsters were clearly at such a distance, but they could throw such large stones at the city wall.
"Dodge!" Liu Yi shouted.
However, Liu Yi's reminder failed to allow more defenders to dodge in time, and when they saw the boulder rising into the air, the defenders in the city were already a little messy.
When one of the defenders saw the boulder coming, he habitually raised his shield to resist, which was wrapped in iron, and had saved him many times in previous battles, but this time he was facing a boulder.
The boulder slammed into the shield with boundless might, and the sturdy shield was suddenly torn apart, and the soldiers behind the shield also fell to the ground with the boulder, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
Although there are hundreds of boulders thrown by the Thunderbolt, the damage caused to the defenders is not great, and the main role of the Thunderbolt is to suppress the defenders and make it difficult for the defenders to use their means.
"Kill!" The long knife in Gao Shun's hand swung forward, and the five thousand soldiers carried the dirt bags and moved quickly towards the moat, on their bodies, they did not even wear armor, and their task was to fill the moat as quickly as possible.
Bags of dirt were filled into the moat, stirring up waves, and an army of 5,000 people went and returned, constantly throwing dirt bags into the moat.
Even if the soldiers who filled the moat were within the range of the defenders, the soldiers who were already panicked under the thunderbolt had forgotten the bows and arrows in their hands at this time, they were looking for a suitable place to survive on the city wall, and the tragic situation of the soldiers who died under the boulder deeply stimulated them, which was more shocking than the coming of the battle, under the boulder, the strength of the soldiers seemed so weak, even the elite soldiers in their eyes could only scream under the boulder.
Lu Bu squinted at the battlefield in front of him, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, with a thunderbolt, he has the initiative in the siege, unless the defenders can also have a thunderbolt, even some princes in the Central Plains do not have such a sharp weapon as a thunderbolt, let alone Liaodong.
As long as this momentum is maintained, it will only take three days to fill in the moat of Changli, and then it will be time for the army to be reckless, and how high the morale of the trembling defenders under the thunderbolt will be to meet it.
The same situation was shared with the south and north of the city, and although only fifty thunderbolts were suppressed, the defenders were still panicked.
Gongsun Kang is also at a loss in the face of the current situation, there is no weapon in the city that can compete with the Youzhou army, and he can only watch the balance of the Youzhou army general's moat a little bit, once there is no advantage of the moat, what kind of fate will the defenders face.
