The first round of explosions had just ended, and the blood mist and gunpowder smoke in the air had not yet dissipated, and the second round of iron balls flew in again, and the landing point was still different from just now, and it was impossible to dodge it in advance, and then the tragedy was repeated again.

Most of the people who entered the city and were ready to charge were the elite leather room army of the Khitan cavalry, and whenever they encountered a strong enemy, they were gnawed hard by this emperor's forbidden army, they were not only well-equipped but also had a tough heart.

But no matter how big the heart is, it can't bear to be slaughtered by the unknown, and seeing the same clan, companions, brothers, uncles and nephews, and even fathers and sons around them being blown to pieces and splashed with blood, they can't see where the enemy is, and they can't rush out if they want to.

The fierce and fierce character immediately burst out, not only to the enemy, but also to his own people. Wielding all the weapons in his hand that could open the way, he rushed to the inner city gate, wanting to escape from the urn city as soon as possible, and staying for a moment was dangerous.

If one person does this, it will cause a chain reaction, and as a result, the escape becomes a slashing and killing of each other, and everyone who wants to be the first to enter the inner city gate, and everyone who stands in his way immediately becomes an enemy.

The riot in the urn city was really seen by the lookout on the hot air balloon with a telescope, and Hong Tao immediately saw it as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and the third order followed, leaving two siege crossbows to continue to fire thunderbolts into the urn city, keeping the pressure on the rioting Liao army to calm down and think carefully.

The remaining twenty or so siege crossbows advanced forward to the moat, entered the effective range of bows and arrows at the head of the city, and braved the arrows that flew from time to time to prepare to support the sappers to cross the river.

The Eastern Route Army completely suppressed the defenders in the south of the city, and prepared to enter the city in accordance with the drill code one by one, while the Central Route Army and the Western Route Army were not so lucky. In order to cover the flank of the Eastern Route Army, Miao Kui and Wang Da could not block the city gate, so they could only wait for the other party to rush out and counterattack. Compared with the siege battle of the Eastern Route Army, their side was more lively.

"My lord, there are a lot of enemy troops in the west!" Wang Twelve was the second person to learn about the changes in the battlefield in addition to the lookout, and he was very awkward to just look at the flag and not see the truth, and he scratched his ears and cheeks a little.

"Don't worry about anything else, the faster we move here, the less pressure there will be on General Miao and your eldest sister's side." There was no need for Wang XII to remind him, the sound of brass trumpets from a mile away had already explained everything.

The makeshift bridge over the moat was finally erected, and two teams of sappers began to cross the river with box carts. Why don't you use a suspension bridge? This is the experience that Hong Tao summed up from the previous siege battles.

The defenses near the city gate are the strongest, and no matter how thick the armor is, it can't carry large rocks and hot oil, and even if there are box trucks in the way, there will still be casualties.

Choosing a place to cross the river without attacking the city gate is the same amount of work for the sappers. The ammonium oil medicine roll is not picky, it is fried wherever it is placed, and it is relatively safer under the city wall than near the city tower.

As the sappers crossed the moat, the siege crossbows that had just finished transferring their positions began to fire again, and they concentrated on throwing fire oil bombs on the city wall on the east side of the city tower, creating a flame belt dozens of meters long to provide cover for the sappers who were digging holes under the city wall and stuffing medicine rolls.

The defenders of Xijin Province have never seen such a strange siege method, every movement of the enemy is unfamiliar, and it takes a while to figure it out, and it is impossible to deal with it in time.

Until now, they hadn't figured out what the people outside the city were throwing, and it exploded and hurt countless people, and then it became a sea of fire. Do enemies really know how to spell? You can't even get close to the city wall, so it doesn't matter what the tin men are doing underneath, and you can't see it if you want to.

"The flag told the sappers to leave the lead on the south bank of the river, and then light it when the enemy went up to the city to extinguish the fire."

Hong Tao sat in the box car and kept giving orders, and there was a group of commanders standing beside him, staring at the progress of the battle with one eye and the small notebook in his hand with the other, listening and recording.

It's all experience.,Although some of them sound too shameless, you have to study hard.,Isn't it more shameless to fight a war.。 In this regard, the founding marquis Wang Xu said that no one dares to call the second the first, and the bad ideas follow one after the other like a surging river, all of which are tricks to put people in the pit to death.

The sapper's movements were very fast, and he immediately retreated after stuffing the medicine roll, and trotted out in a daze wearing fifty or sixty pounds of armor, which showed that the more people who understood the power of ammonium oil medicine, the more awe-inspiring they became.

When they found that the city no longer threw things up, they immediately carried sand and soil, held felt rolls and rushed to the city wall, and carried the wounded down while extinguishing the fire.

"Well, don't wait for the sappers to ignite the fire, they will light it themselves, death is so anxious, true warriors. Lao Jiu, blow the trumpet. Twelve, don't be blind, the city tower belongs to you, pay attention to safety. ”

The way the Liao army extinguished the fire could not be said to be wrong, and many objects that were ignited by the mixed oil were thrown from the city wall by them, and as a result, the fuses of the ammonium oil medicine rolls were ignited. No wonder the sappers ran back with their lives, they apparently expected this possibility.

If the explosion of a thunderbolt is a firecracker, then the sound of dozens of rolls of ammonium oil exploding together is a firecracker. The sound was muffled but long-lasting, washing over everyone's eardrums wave after wave, and at the same time knocking on everyone's body.

The New Army soldiers standing in the front row can clearly feel the thrust of the air current, and the soldiers in the back can sense the undulation of the earth, and their feet are like stepping on water waves, and if they don't pay attention, they will be shaken down.

The sappers did not know their skills, but they designed the walls to collapse outward, so that they could create a slope along the moat, which would be easier for the besieging troops to climb.

In fact, the slope of this slope is more gentle, and the Liao people obviously cut corners in the construction of the city wall, the outer layer of masonry is too thin, and the rammed earth inside is not very strong.

According to the sturdiness of the city wall of the Song Dynasty, the dosage was a bit large, and it directly blew up the city wall of Xijin Mansion, not only the outside was a slope, but the bricks and stones on the inside were also blown out by the huge air waves.

The end of cutting corners is often self-defeating, and the Liao army assembled behind the city wall only needs to be disgraced, plus a little sore ears.

Now, all of them were smashed into blood gourds by the flying pieces of masonry, and then swept by the dust, and immediately became terracotta warriors. It's just that the dust on the surface is quickly washed away by the blood flowing from it, and pieces are peeling off from the body.

This scene was not visible to most of the Forces nouvelles soldiers, and only the lookout on the hot air balloon could observe the whole scene. The veteran who had experienced the battle of Liangzhou just grinned and didn't react, and another recruit who had only enlisted in the Daimyo's Mansion vomited directly, and while vomiting, he had to wave the flag to Wang Da and Miao Kui's lookouts to explain the progress here.

The New Army soldier with the rope under the hot air balloon is scolding, your grandson can't eat less in the morning! It's a pity that no matter how loud the scolding is, I can't hear it above, and I can't run away, so I can only let the swill flying in the sky hit my face, warm!

"Tick tock...... Tick Tick ...... Bouncing ...... Come on! As the walls fell, the brass trumpet sounded first, followed by the muffled sound of the bowstring vibrating the air flow as the siege crossbow was fired.

Two groups of New Army soldiers, armed with pulleys and crossbows, and a swarm of bees on their shoulders, trotted across the moat and rushed down the slope towards the ramparts. In front of them were waves of explosions, thunderbolts that blew both sides of the collapsed walls like they didn't need money.

As soon as the New Army soldiers rushed halfway up the gentle slope, the siege crossbows immediately adjusted their angles and threw thunderbolts into the inner side of the walls to block the enemy's reinforcements.

This set of tactics has been practiced for more than a year, and anyway, the new army does not have two or three sets of tactics in total, and the content is extremely simple, and the soldiers can cooperate skillfully without the need for an officer to command them.

The siege troops were followed by dozens of siege crossbows that had not yet been assembled, carried and carried by the soldiers of the new army to the top of the city. Once they are assembled on the city walls, the battle for the walls will be largely uninteresting. Huge crossbow arrows like crescent shovels sweep hundreds of paces along the road, leaving no living creatures behind.

The Liao army in the city did not want to fight street battles in a down-to-earth manner, and the condescending siege crossbows on the city walls would throw two thunderbolts at the enemy's assembly place from time to time. If you have the ability, don't assemble and see if you can rely on the quality of the skirmishers alone to resist the organized sweep of the new army.

"Send a signal to the Left Route Army and the Middle Route Army to block the five city gates in the east, west and north!" At this time, Hong Tao issued the last order for the siege campaign, Miao Kui and Wang Da could close the door and fight the dogs, and no one in the defenders and residents of Xijin Mansion wanted to run.
