Chapter 0820: Bloody Battle Good Water River
"Dig a pit?"
Liu Bijiang was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled in his heart, but he didn't ask.
Instead, he followed Huo Hongye's proposal and began to ask the old pawns to dig a pit.
According to Huo Hongye's instructions, the old soldiers began to dig a pit in the fortress.
The old soldiers were used to digging trenches, so the pits dug in the fortress were similar to trenches.
On the walls on both sides of the trench, one cave after another was dug to accommodate one person.
The pit was dug halfway.
The Liao army outside the city began to attack.
Trebuchets were stuffed with explosive canisters and thrown into the fortress one by one.
Liao's research on gunpowder is still in its infancy.
The yield is also not very high.
And it's all black powder, which has limited lethality.
In order to maximize the results of black powder on the battlefield.
Han Qiong almost distributed all the gunpowder in the Liao Kingdom to Yelu Xian.
Yelu was not polite with these black powders, and in order to tear apart the defense line of Yan Kingdom as soon as possible, he frantically asked people to throw gunpowder canisters into the fortress.
The soldiers didn't have time to hide in the dug cave, and the gunpowder jars fell down like hailstones one by one.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
The sound of explosions was incessant.
The lethality of black powder itself is not strong, and the fragments of the clay pot that are blown up are the most deadly.
After the gunpowder canisters exploded, they turned into fast-flying fragments, constantly cutting or shooting into the body of the old soldier.
Huo Hongye roared loudly on the trench of the fortress, "Hurry up and take it to the cave!" Duck in! ”
The old soldiers rushed into the cave.
In the blink of an eye.
The fortress is empty.
The old soldiers all hid in the cave.
The gunpowder canisters that had been shot into the fortress were bombarding.
The tents where the veterans lived in the fortress were set on fire.
The building was shattered in the sound of explosions.
A large number of powder canisters blew up all the buildings in the fortress, but the old soldiers hiding in the caves were unharmed.
This made the nervous pawns breathe a sigh of relief.
Blink to the small soldiers who were shivering behind them.
The old soldiers said happily: "Listen, do you want to set off a cannon battle during the New Year?" ”
The minions hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
The old soldiers laughed loudly, "The thieves are setting off cannons to help us celebrate the New Year." ”
A bunch of veterans said another soothing quip.
Only then did the minions relax.
on the city walls.
When the gunpowder jar flew over, General Liu ordered the old soldiers on the city wall to set up the unique triangular shield of the Yan army.
When the four triangular shields are closed together, they become a small cone-shaped shield array.
One by one, the shield arrays, like conical nails, were firmly rooted on the head of the city.
The old men gathered in the shield array, listening to the gunpowder canisters flying over their heads, or exploding around them, with worried expressions.
However.
When they discovered that the black powder jar of the Liao army was not enough to break through the Yan army's unique shield array, they finally let go of their hanging hearts.
However, three or five of them got together and taunted the Liao people in the shield array.
There is quite a taste of him being strong and letting him be strong, and the breeze blows the mountain.
General Liu Bi saw that the black powder of the Liao army was not enough to break through the shield array of the Yan army, and half of his hanging heart was relieved.
He summoned his own soldiers, set up a shield array, and hid in it.
Only a thin slit was left to observe the movements of the Liao army.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
The attack of the Liao army outside the city has not stopped.
Although Yelu Xianzhen somewhat imitated the indiscriminate bombardment used by Yang Qi to attack Youzhou City, he could not follow Yang Qi's example to dig tunnels.
The fortress of Kosuigawa was built in a valley flanked by thick rocks.
There is also a layer of rock about a foot underground.
Yelu wanted to dig a tunnel under the fortress without knowing how to do it, and it was impossible to complete it without ten days and half a month.
He really had to spend ten days and half a month in this good water river, and it was estimated that the reinforcements of the Yan army would arrive, and the tunnel would be dug in vain.
There were more than a dozen rounds of bombardment, and the Yan army did not dare to take the lead.
Yelu suddenly felt that the time was almost up.
While he ordered the shooters to continue projecting, he ordered the other soldiers, carrying siege equipment, to begin the siege.
General Liu Bi saw through the gap in the shield array that the Liao army was about to attack the city, and immediately opened the shield array and shouted, "The Liao people are coming to attack the city, soldiers, follow me to resist the enemy......"
"Bang!"
A powder jar exploded under Liu Biaojiang's feet.
Liu Bi pulled the soldiers around him and hid in the shield array.
The flying clay pot fragments cut a gap in General Liu's cheek, and blood flowed.
General Liu Bian licked the blood that flowed to the corners of his mouth, and scolded angrily: "Damn the literati of the Great Song Dynasty, if it weren't for their idiots, how could this gunpowder fall into the hands of the Liao people?"
In the future, this kind of person, Lao Tzu will kill one when he encounters one. ”
The personal guards were in front of General Liu Bi and asked urgently: "The Liao army has been killed under the city, what should I do now?" ”
General Liu Bi glared and roared: "What else can I do, the Liao army obviously wants to suppress us with gunpowder, and then give their attacking soldiers and horses a chance." As long as the gunpowder canisters outside the city keep projecting, we can't get ahead.
Only when the Liao army fell down the city, the short soldiers were connected. ”
Meet at close quarters.
For their group of old, weak, sick and disabled, they are in a vulnerable position.
Under the cover of gunpowder jars, the Liao army quickly rushed to the city.
Jeremian immediately ordered the shooter to stop the projection.
When the Liao army drove the ladder and climbed the city.
General Liu Bi lifted the triangular shield, held a horizontal knife in one hand, and roared loudly, "Old brothers, kill their son of a bitch!" ”
One by one, the shield arrays dispersed under the roar of General Liu Bi.
The old soldiers held the earth-shaking thunder in their hands one by one, pulled the pull ring, and threw it vigorously.
"Son of a bitch! I've blown up enough Lao Tzu, now it's time for Lao Tzu to blow you up. ”
One by one, the earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown down the city wall.
The Liao army gathered under the city wall was suddenly overturned by the bombed people.
There is not much gunpowder left in the fortress of Komizugawa.
However, they are all the latest granular gunpowder, and their lethality is far from being comparable to the gunpowder jar of the Liao army.
Shocking thunder exploded under the city.
The Liao army fell like wheat.
The huge power of the earth-shattering thunder shook the walls of the fortress.
General Liu Bi shouted to the old soldiers with a dark face: "One by one, the earth-shaking thunder in your hand is beckoned into the distance, don't throw it down the city wall." The thieves didn't break through the city wall, but let you blow it up first. ”
The old soldiers smiled awkwardly one by one and immediately followed General Liu's order.
With the earth-shattering thunder in hand, with rolling wood, stones, and bows and crossbows, the Liao army under the city lost their armor and abandoned their armor.
"Hey, hey, hey...... The thief of the dog day, let you see the ability of your grandfather. ”
As a bed crossbowman, Lao Ge's skills are high, almost pointing to shoot there.
There were dozens of Liao army generals who died in his hands.
It's just that this old guy is a bit old-fashioned, and every time he shoots an enemy, he always greets people in three ways.
The officials who harmed him couldn't help him ask for credit.
It is impossible to write a sentence on the recital of the meritorious service, the sixth class of the Fuxing Army's shooting battalion is the second egg, shooting dozens of Liao army generals and schools, all of them are hit?
I'm afraid that all the people who know about this can laugh Ge Erdan's Shangguan to death.
The battalion of the Shooting Battalion is reprimanding Ge Erdan many times, but this guy is dead.
So I haven't been promoted.
In the end, he was blinded by one eye and was discharged from the army.
Now that he is on the battlefield again, the one-eyed archery has improved again, and God has taken away one of his eyes, but has given him stronger archery.
"Little guy, did you see the Liao army with the gem big knife on his waist? To say the least, he is also a five-grade official. Believe it or not, Lao Tzu can shoot his balls with an arrow? ”
The two minions who helped Ge Erdan load the crossbow shook their heads.
Although they are new to the military formation, as people of Zhongyizhuang, they have been dealing with all kinds of ordnance since they were children, and they know the lethality of bed crossbows.
In the absence of technological positioning, any weapon with high lethality is not so accurate.
As one of the strongest hums among the bow crossbows, the bed crossbow naturally has a poor crosshair.
They often point to the head and end up shooting in the chest, or fly over the head of the target enemy and shoot to the next person.
"The two little ghosts underestimated Lao Tzu's ability. Hey, hey, hey...... Well......"
Ge Erdan drove the bed crossbow and stared at the Liao army generals outside the city with one eye.
Three breaths.
A gleam flashed in Ge Erdan's eyes, and he pulled the trigger of the bed crossbow.
"Whoosh~"
A ballista the thickness of the baby's arm burst out.
In a flash, it appeared under the crotch of General Liao.
General Liao felt a chill in his crotch.
By the time he was reacting and conscious, the balls were gone.
The crossbow gun was inserted into the ground, and the force was so great that it caused the tail of the gun to vibrate frequently, and it kept slapping under the crotch of the Liao general.
"Whew~"
The Liao general screamed miserably, and fell to the ground with a poof.
Not only was the thing shattered, but it was also pulped by the vibration of the gun's tail.
The two creeps stared at the scene with wide eyes and incredulous expressions.
Ge Erdan smiled stinkily: "Did you see it?" This is Lao Tzu's ability, if you go back and entertain Lao Tzu with good wine and food, Lao Tzu will pass on this unique skill to you. ”
Said a witty remark.
Seeing that the two creeps were still dumbfounded.
Ge Erdan coughed softly and shouted, "Don't be stunned, ...... ballista."
"Oooh......"
The two minions reacted, hurriedly loaded the bed crossbow with crossbow guns, and then watched Ge Erdan continue to exert his might.
Similar things happened in other parts of the city walls.
The veterans inherited the tradition in the revival army, and they had the idea of bringing the old with the new, so they decided to take advantage of this war to pass on the unique skills in their hands to the younger soldiers.
All in all.
The old soldiers were mighty, and with the help of earth-shaking thunder and various sharp weapons, they successfully resisted the first attack of the Liao army.
Repelled the first attack of the Liao army.
The old pawns let out a sigh of relief, and sat down on the city wall, letting the newly recruited apprentices beat their backs and rub their shoulders.
The Liao army suffered a defeat.
Dejected, he returned to the camp.
After a simple meal.
Yelu ordered them to attack the fortress again.
The old soldiers once again rebelled under the command of General Liu Bi.
The battle lasted from morning to evening.
When the Liao army rushed over for the tenth time.
General Liu Bi shouted loudly: "Brothers, quickly resist the enemy with earth-shaking thunder." ”
"General!"
The pro-soldier's face was ugly, and he whispered beside General Liu Bi.
General Liu frowned and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”
The pro-soldier whispered in embarrassment: "The earth-shattering thunder has run out ......"
When General Liu heard this, his heart sank.
Without the earth-shattering thunder, the next battle will not be easy.
However, the bad news that the soldiers brought him was much more than that.
I only heard the soldiers bow their heads and continue: "There are not many arrows left...... The rocks on the top of the city are almost gone......"
When Liu Bijiang heard these two news, his heart sank again and again.
Half a day.
General Liu Bi gritted his teeth and said: "Let all the brothers in the fortress go to the city wall, without armament, we can only fight hard." We must not allow the Liao army to step into our Yan country by half a step. ”
General Liu's order did not last long.
Huo Hongye and Wang Xing took the rest of the old soldiers and climbed to the top of the city together.
The black-pressed Liao army is pressing again.
General Liu Bi pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist and shouted with a cold face, "Brothers, kill the enemy!" ”
"Boom~"
A horizontal knife with a handle is drawn.
The crippled veterans looked at the Liao army rushing under the city with a resolute expression.
The Liao army was not shocked by the momentum of the old soldiers who regarded death as home, but after they cautiously approached the fortress wall, they found that the Yan army on the head of the city did not greet them with earth-shaking thunder.
Suddenly, their hearts were overjoyed.
"They're out of gunpowder, let's kill them. The general had an order, and whoever was the first to climb the city was rewarded with 10,000 head of oxen. ”
The Liao army, who had been suppressed by the earth-shaking thunder for a long time, could finally let go of their hands and feet.
They poured like a tidal wave over the city.
One by one, they are almost not afraid of death.
Liu Bi held the horizontal knife in one arm and shouted, "Kill!" ”
The old soldiers rushed to the Liao army crawling towards the top of the city with their knives.
"Poof!"
A spear fell with a gun.
One by one, the Liao army was stabbed in the eye, and the corpses fell off the ladder.
The Liao army behind him continued to climb towards the city without any fear.
The one-legged old man took his spear and continued to stab.
The quick-eyed Liao army grabbed the spear in the old pawn's hand, and with a drag, the old pawn fell off the city.
Then he was instantly divided by the Liao army under the city.
One offense and one defense.
The two sides fought in the most primitive and tragic way.
The corpse fell like a dumpling.
In the blink of an eye, a layer was laid under the walls of the fortress.
"Poof~"
The one-armed pawn was cut off the other arm by the Liao army who climbed up to the top of the city, and the pawn's eyes widened and he was stunned for a long time.
He didn't scream, but laughed under his breath.
"The last person who cut off Lao Tzu's arm, Lao Tzu killed three of their brothers. This time you chopped off one of Lao Tzu's arms. Lao Tzu wants you to deserve your life. So that there is no loss. ”
After laughing.
The old pawn rushed forward and let the scimitar of the Liao army stab him in the chest.
He opened his mouth and bit Liao Jun's ear.
jumped and dragged the Liao army down the city wall.
The three-foot-high city wall fell and instantly turned into a corpse.
The other old pawns beside the old pawn flashed a gloom in their eyes, but they didn't say anything.
Still fighting to kill the enemy.
It's just that the determination in their eyes is more determined.
Any veteran who is unable to kill the enemy will drag a Liao army to die together.
However.
Even the old pawns are so fierce that they are not afraid of death.
The fierce Liao army still relied on their young and strong bodies to kill the city.
"I was the first to climb the city, and 10,000 cows are mine!"
"Kill!"
The Liao army ascended to the top of the city.
This meant that the only line of defense of the fortress was torn open.
More Liao troops climbed up with the gap.
The battle escalated again.
The fighting became more ferocious.
