Chapter 498: Greedy for life and afraid of death

"Drums! Besiege! Lu Qian shouted loudly.

As soon as the words fell, I heard the thunder of war drums! Then the sound of the horn echoed in my ears, and the battle began at this moment!

"Siege!"

The generals of the front line gave military orders. Left, center, right, seemingly neat front army is actually divided into three roads. As soon as the military order was given, the most front-line shield-wielding heavy-armored soldiers raised their long shields one after another, and more than a dozen people were in a team, clustering ladder trucks and struggling forward.

A large number of crossbowmen rushed forward, replacing their comrades under the previous stand, and the long-range strike ability of the city was restored to its original state in an instant. For a time, the arrows were like flying locusts, and the defenders at the head of the city could not raise their heads.

The drums and trumpets are all famous, making Wang Yan's blood boiling. Although he did not belong to the former army, this was also the first time he really experienced the siege of the Liangshan army since he joined the Liangshan army.

Last time, Lu Zhishen only sent someone to suppress the battle for him.

He looked at the head of Zhaozhou City again, and saw that the defenders were all in place, and a large number of ironclad soldiers were running and assembling with shields and crossbows. The Liangshan army launched an attack on the city, and the Liangshan artillery began to extend inward. In this way, a large number of defenders also appeared.

The drums of war are beating faster! The sound shakes the heartstrings!

The Liangshan army in front has already approached the city! The shield-raising soldiers pushed the ladder cart with all their might, crossed the five-foot-wide moat, and went straight to the bottom of the city! In an instant, the head of the city was full of sharp arrows! Wang Yan saw in the back that there were constantly soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows, although the siege troops of the Liangshan army were wearing heavy armor and had shields to cover and resist, but they could not cancel out all the damage.

Fortunately, ladder trucks have rushed to the city.

The Liangshan army under the city cheered, and the ladder trucks were already on the city wall. This greatly boosted the morale of the Liangshan army.

As soon as the ladder truck approached the city wall, the soldiers below it shouted in unison, quickly climbed the ladder, and charged upwards with all their might!

Wang Yan's heart couldn't help but tighten, during the siege battle, it was at this moment that the casualties were the greatest!

There are not only bows, crossbows, knives and guns at the head of the city, but also rolling wood and stones, boiling water gold juice and ash bottles. From the first moment when the ladder truck approached the city, the defenders of the city resisted to the death with a pen and a pusher.

In the past, the cannons flew sideways, making the boiling water of gold juice at the head of the city a thing of the past; But the protection of Zhaozhou City is still not to be underestimated. Wang Yan looked at Liang Shanjun expectantly. If you can climb to the top of the city in one go, I am afraid that you will be able to break this Zhaozhou City today!

"Kill......" Xin Xingzong shouted loudly.

He is not the heir of Zhao Liang at both ends of the first rat, the Xin family has been the Zhao and Song military sects for generations, his father Xin Shuxian is the general of the Western Army, and the four brothers Xin Xingzong, Xin Qizong, Xin Daozong, Xin Yongzong, together with cousins Xin Yanzong and Xin Qingzong, are all military generals of the Song Dynasty.

Whoever rebels in Zhaozhou City, he will not rebel.

The siege soldiers swarmed up, but the arrows rained down on the city's head, and the stones and logs were greeted together, and the siege soldiers fell like hailstones. But the Liangshan army under the city did not slow down at all, one battalion was disabled, and the other battalion rushed up, and the war drums were urgent. The shouts of killing in the sky included the entire Zhaozhou.

Wang Yan's expression showed a touch of stretching, fighting for attrition, fighting spirit, although the defenders had a favorable terrain, but they had been pulled into a relatively disadvantaged battle situation by the Liangshan army.

According to the military strength of the Liangshan army and the fighting spirit of the soldiers, such an attack and killing may be able to fight without stopping until the night, but the defenders at the head of the city can support it?

Although the courage of a moment can be done, it is not a lifetime. Wang Yan is well aware of this. Because this was the case with him and his men at the head of the Daimyo Mansion that day.

It lasted for a while, but it couldn't last for a lifetime.

The war continues.

Lu Qian was not anxious, compared to the offensive and defensive battles in the war drill room of the Wuluo Academy, the trouble given to the Liangshan army by the defenders of the city head was much less at the moment.

This battle must not be impatient, a fortress, stormed for several months last year can not be broken is a common thing. But once breached, the follow-up response is often overwhelming.

Because the enemy's strength is limited, if you concentrate your forces here, you will not be able to care about the other place. Press the gourd to float the scoop, that's the reason.

Half an hour passed, and everything was as Lu Qian expected, and the defenders at the head of the city had reached their limit. Wang Yan took a deep breath and stared intently at the city. He had a premonition in his heart that at this moment, Zhao Zhou City was probably going to end.

"Kill-" Yuan Langti turned to the water to refine the steel, pulled away the two piercing spears, and jumped on the city first.

After half an hour of fighting, the defenders at the head of the city have reached the limit in both mental and physical strength, and Tianyan will not deceive Lu Qian. The Liangshan army under the city attacked and killed very quickly, and the Liangshan artillery behind it also fought very urgently, and the artillery stones crossed the city wall of Zhaozhou one by one, and almost smashed the military camp south of Zhaozhou City. The second-line reserve army in the city had to retreat further.

In order to facilitate the transfer of troops, Tong Guan once set up a number of gondolas in the city wall, so that he could put reinforcements into the most urgent places as quickly as possible. But at the beginning of the siege war, a cannon stone was beaten, and the gondola was affected without exception. This is the conclusion reached in the countless offensive and defensive battle deductions in the war rehearsal room of the Wuluo Academy.

If you want to break the enemy's resistance faster, you must first cut off their reinforcement channels and destroy the gondola, which is a necessary choice.

Just like a game he played in his previous life, "Fortress Crusades", it is not foolproof to build the city wall and tower, not to mention the destruction of the city defense by catapults and soldiers, just to say a very common picture, up and down crossbowmen shooting, then the defender of the city needs the fastest stone ladder if he wants to replenish his troops from time to time. The latter is also made by stones, which are resources that can be exchanged for money to recruit soldiers. In the early stage, money and resources are tight, and a stone cannot be wasted, which requires people to choose the best location.

And that's the importance of the 'transport lane'.

In the same way, destroying the gondola set up by the enemy on the city wall was, in Lu Qian's view, destroying the 'transportation channel' of the defenders, which was a great convenience.

Without this, if the defenders wanted to strengthen their troops, they could only transfer their troops from the city and go up and down the passages to the left and right of the tower. Not to mention how much time is wasted, even this mile-long rush can also waste a lot of strength of the defenders.

And one by one the artillery stones destroyed the military camp in the south of the city, that is, destroyed the assembly place of the defenders near the south of the city. In this way, the defenders of Zhaozhou could only be arranged to be in the war shed under the city wall, and when needed, they urgently assembled with arrows and crossbows, and then rushed to the city.

In half an hour, the defenders had been completely suppressed. The bows and crossbows and arrows that fell on the city were only sparse, and the morale of the defenders on the city was also significantly lowered. In this way, Lu Qian's eyes flashed, and then Yuan Lang personally led a battalion of pro-army to kill the city.

Wearing heavy armor, Yuan Lang carried the steel in his hand, ignoring the arrows and crossbows occasionally shot from the city. He didn't need to cover the arrows and crossbows, he just had to bow his head, like an angry bull, and go on a rampage.

If the arrow is not used properly, it is thrown down with a stone. This move is naturally invincible for ordinary sergeants, but Yuan Lang is extraordinary, and his left arm is full swinging the steel and smashing it upward. Dozens of pounds of stones, mixed with momentum, were also knocked away by Yuan Lang's blow!

He looked at the two defenders who poked their heads out of the battlement, but they saw several arrows and crossbows shooting from the city, and these two people were hit by arrows in their faces, and each let out a miserable scream, and the people fell inward.

Taking this opportunity, Yuan Lang took a few steps up, got up and jumped, like a dragonfly dotting water, his toes were a little on the ladder, and the whole person climbed onto the city.

A spear that pierced straight over, Yuan Lang deflected outward with his right hand, and quickly bullied in, and his left hand hit the defender hard.

The strong defender was shocked by lightning in an instant, and a large mouthful of blood and crumbling internal organs spurted out of his mouth, and then collapsed on the top of the city like soft mud.

"Kill-" A few knives and guns came towards Yuan Lang.

Among them was a military leader, holding a long spear, the body of the spear shook, the head of the spear trembled, and the eyes were charming. A trick to find a snake is very exquisite, and it goes straight to Yuan Lang's façade. But the latter ignored it, picked up the steel and blocked it, and all the knives and guns that were stabbed and cut were pushed aside. Striding forward, the steel swept away, and immediately burst out a few skulls.

But before he could catch his breath, two iron bones smashed at him again, which was the pain of Xiandeng. The enemy is the enemy. Even according to Yuan Lang's martial arts, he can't turn a blind eye.

Before the new soldiers of the army poured into the city, he was to be besieged incessantly.

Xin Xingzong's face changed greatly, and he shouted loudly: "Quickly deploy troops to support, quickly deploy troops to support, and press them back for me-" He owns the city, and he has more than 10,000 military horses under his command, and now before the next hour, he was killed by the Liangshan thief army on the head of the city, does this mean that he Xin Xingzong is a day-old straw bale rice bucket?

He shouted loudly, and the guards kept plunging into the strangulation battle at the head of the city, as if they were gathering embankments to block the water, what a thrilling and terrifying heart!

New drums and trumpets sounded outside the city, and follow-up troops came to help.

Wang Yan had been waiting for this order for a long time, and immediately led his most elite 1,000 armor soldiers and rushed towards the city.

The "floods" are constantly 'coming', and the levees have temporarily blocked them, but the water level is constantly rising, and one cannot help but wonder if there will be a moment when it will soon be out of control......

"Kill, kill with me! Push the Liangshan thieves back-" Xin Xingzong personally went into battle, and at this time he came to take the lead, so he was naturally desperate. Helplessly, the city was lost, the city was broken, and even if there were more soldiers and horses in the city, it would be useless.

When a city is broken, like a levee collapsing, the flood will be out of control. It's just because the 'military spirit' has also been defeated.

More and more Liangshan troops climbed to the top of the city, and the battle in such a narrow area did not matter about skill, only strength and bravery.

And the Liangshan Army, with the pro-guard army as the sharpest, is like a rolling boulder, completely crushing and shattering all obstacles in front of them.

"Enxiang, the city can't hold on. If you don't leave, it's too late. ”

Zhao Liangsi's heart was full of contempt for Tong Guan, and he spent so much money and food. More than 20,000 people only lasted so much time in Zhaozhou, but they really burned their hands with a lot of money and threw money into the water.

In this way, when the defenders in the south of the city were under tremendous pressure and were about to collapse, Tong Guan's escape was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and countless defenders lost their fighting spirit in an instant.

Xin Xingzong sighed, this was what he was most afraid of.

This Tong Guan Tong Daofu, you said that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, why do you have to stay in Zhaozhou? Don't you know how dangerous it is in Zhaozhou City?

Wouldn't it be better if you went early?

It's good now, the morale of the army is completely lost in an instant, and all the soldiers and horses in a city are finished.

Xin Xingzong just wanted to lead the troops to break through, but there was no possibility. If so, he drew his sword in the Nancheng Tower and killed himself, so as to leave a clear name and benefit his brothers. ()
