Chapter 121: The Battle of Dangyang (2)
The smoke of gunpowder is full of maple trees, and the spring breeze is sunny. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The breeze blows, the smoke is filled, the broken flags are scattered, and thousands of horses are sad.
Fortunately, the city wall is thick and sturdy, and there is no big problem, but many stones that flew down the city tower caused great casualties to the Han army, and dozens of soldiers were killed and injured at once, and the psychological pressure of fear spread rapidly, and many soldiers showed a look of panic and fear.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lai Gong commanded the rescue on the one hand, and on the other hand, ordered the bed crossbow to focus on attacking the "thunderbolt car", and a burst of crossbow arrows passed, successfully shooting a group of operators, and finally successfully suppressed the fierce offensive of Cao's "thunderbolt car".
The Han army focused on attacking Cao's troops who were attacking the city with ladders, ladders, and chariots, first using wooden forks to climb over ladders, and then smashing them into the hapless Cao pawns with sassal wood, rolling stones, boiling gold juice, and blue and black oil together, and then attacking with rockets.
A burst of wood and rolling stones went down, the ladder broke, and the people became meat pies, either dead or maimed. And the hot gold juice is Cao Shu's nightmare, the skin is open, the flesh is open, it festers on the spot, the smell is incomparable, there is no cure, and it is crazy. When the blue-black oil caught fire, the flames soared, like hellfire, and the man became a roast pig, with extensive burns, and the pain in the heart made people hope to die quickly.
Cao Jun cried for his father and mother, with countless deaths and injuries, and many soldiers who were smashed, burned, and burned cried heartbreakingly, screaming like pigs, or rolling frantically on the ground, or jumping into the moat, telling the ruthlessness and tragedy of the war with blood and tears.
At this time, the outside of Dangyang City became a huge meat grinder, which not only ruthlessly strangled the fragile flesh of the Han army and the Cao army, but also brutally chewed their spirits, wills, and souls.
The city tower was littered with Cao Jun's corpses, with stumps, broken legs, and flesh everywhere, like hell on earth. The corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, and the moat was stained red with blood, becoming a pool of blood, like a sea of blood of asuras. The air was filled with the stench of burnt flesh, and the wind was disgusting. Quite a few people couldn't help but vomit.
Although the number of the Han army is small, it is obvious that Lai Gong is a cadre who defends the city, has rich combat experience, has a good command, has reasonable scheduling between various arms, cooperates tacitly, abides by the law to a certain extent, and is orderly, coupled with the geography of condescending and strong walls, the whole city has the same hatred of the enemy, and the ability of thousands of Han troops at the south gate to defend the city has been brought into full play, and the combat power has expanded several times.
After only half an hour, the first echelon of the Cao army, which was in the east, west, south and north, dropped nearly 4,000 corpses, abandoned their armor, and retreated in embarrassment.
Cao Jun relied on the strength of the crowd, and the second echelon danced with knives and tools, screaming and screaming and rushing up. For a time, the smoke of the four gates was rising, the wind was surging, and the war was heating up sharply.
At the south gate, the ladder car as high as more than ten zhang has been raised, and more than a dozen crossbowmen on the top of the bucket are firing rockets at the city tower, many places have begun to burn, thick smoke is everywhere, and many county soldiers, militiamen, and people are afraid.
Under the cover of more than 2,000 archers and dense arrow rain, more than 400 sword and shield soldiers escorted two huge rushing vehicles, more than 600 sword and shield soldiers followed closely behind, and more than 2,000 foot soldiers carried cloud ladders and braved the Han army's arrow rain and crit desperately impacted, and the shouts came and went, deafening.
Lai Gong opened his eyes and knew that the biggest threat was the ladder truck, so he ordered three "stone throwing trucks" to deal with it, and the crockpots filled with fire oil were thrown intensively at the ladder trucks, and where the crockpots were broken, the body was covered with fire oil, and several cans of fire oil also fell on the cloud bucket.
Just when the archers of the Cao army were at a loss and at a loss, countless Han army fatal rockets roared in, and the ladder carts ignited a raging fire from top to bottom. In the sky-high firelight, the archers danced and wailed wildly.
Solve the ladder car, Lai Gong ordered the stone throwing car and the bed crossbow to carry out intensive attacks on the rushing car, many oil cans fell through the turtle shell composed of sword and shield soldiers' shields, and the oil was sprinkled on it, and several rockets came unexpectedly, igniting the fire oil, and suddenly turned into a fire turtle, which was spectacular. There was another earth-shattering scream.
Many lucky undead sword and shield soldiers hurriedly threw down the burning shield and fled back to the formation, and the sword and shield soldiers who responded to the rear were supplemented accordingly, and continued to protect the rushing car forward, tossing back and forth several times, after a long time, the rushing car crossed the moat and finally arrived at the city gate,
Lai Gong, Xiahou Su, and Fan Jian saw that the situation was critical, and the three of them went into battle in person, and under the protection of the shield, they picked up the huge and heavy sassal wood and rolling stones and smashed them desperately, smashing the turtle shell, and winning space for the attack of water and fire.
Lai Gong saw that the gap had been opened, and hurriedly ordered the gold juice first, and then the oil tanks and rockets to attack intensively.
The rushing car soaked in fire oil finally ignited a skyrocketing fire, and Cao Jun was helpless, so he had to watch the rushing car burn at the city gate.
Xiahou Yuan's eyes erupted with fire, his silver teeth were crushed, he was furious, and loudly scolded Cao Jun for strengthening the attack, and the supervising team slashed several deserters on the spot. At the same time, the archers were ordered to attack non-stop, successfully suppressing the offensive of the Han army on the castle tower.
Cao Jun's morale was greatly boosted for a while, and he rushed to the foot of the city wall with a roar, and a cloud ladder was set up on the city wall, and the armored soldiers who were not afraid of death attached to it. No
The few fierce Cao soldiers attacked the tower, and the two sides launched a fierce melee, and the Han army suffered many casualties, but the outnumbered Cao soldiers were finally suppressed by the Han army.
The pressure on the Han army increased greatly, and looking at the tragic situation of the casualties, many people were terrified.
Lai Gong was furious when he saw this, and shouted: "Brave soldiers of the Han army, the enemy is about to come up, once the city is broken by the thief army, our home and everything we have are about to be destroyed, and our relatives will be killed and humiliated by them, are you willing?" ”
"I don't want to! Unwillingly! The soldiers replied loudly.
"Brothers, let me tell you a great good news, the Cao army is not invincible, and the tiger and leopard riders who once dominated the world and were invincible have been killed by us and have been wiped out." Lai Gong raised his arms and shouted.
"The Han army is mighty! The Han army wins! I'm invincible! Kill, kill, kill! The morale of the Han army was revived, and the shouts soared into the sky.
Sharp cones, sassal wood, rolling stones, gold juice, oil cans, rockets, wooden forks and all other weapons beckoned to Cao's soldiers on the ladder and at the foot of the wall. More ladders were hit by the oil tanks that went down the ladder, making the sound of the clay pots breaking, accompanied by the sound of bowstrings, which affected the soldiers stained with fire oil, and the fire was unstoppable, and the foot of the city wall instantly became a sea of fire.
Many Cao soldiers and ghosts with fire cried wolf howls, screamed wildly, ran around, some jumped off the moat and drowned, and many more were burned to death, the tragic situation was terrible and unbearable. Hundreds of Cao soldiers died in the flames.
The ferocious offensive of the Cao army was thus stubbornly stopped by the raging fire and the tragic end of his comrades, Xiahou Yuan's second offensive was thwarted, and the Han army also got a moment of respite.
