Chapter 102 - Bed Crossbow [Ask for Collection]
With Qin Zongheng's order, the rebel army quickly set up an attack formation and accelerated the speed of the march.
The horse's hooves were like thunder, the figures were boiling, and in the steps like a tide, accompanied by the howls of countless soldiers, more than 40,000 troops frantically poured towards Luoyang City.
Countless siege trucks and wells were pushed out, and countless carts were escorted in the middle of the army, which was faintly visible, it was the siege weapon - catapults!
There is no tentative attack, there is no tactical arrangement, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery is just a joke, what Qin Zongheng wants to do now is to quickly bulldoze Luoyang City, the shame of the bloody Qi army!
At the head of Luoyang City, Wei Ruqian and the others looked at the enemy troops who were surging over like a tide, and their hearts were covered with a layer of shadows, no matter how elite the soldiers of the Shouwang Army were, but after all, the number of people was limited, and one less died.
And the rebels are definitely not easy to deal with, Qin Zongheng who came this time is different from Sun Ru last time, they are strong and strong, and the siege equipment is complete, which is completely different from Sun Ru who came lightly.
Everyone, including the most optimistic beard, was full of pessimism, even despair, about this war, and everyone understood that without external reinforcements, Luoyang City would be broken.
"Bearded!"
"In!"
"Immediately transfer all the soldiers from the other city gates!"
"Yes!"
"Scar, you lead the soldiers under your command to organize the people and block the city gate!"
"Yes!"
"Doctor Qiao, you arrange for people to patrol the city, and you must catch the spies who have infiltrated the city."
"Yes!"
Wei Ruqian frowned tightly, giving orders one by one, thinking clearly and methodically. And Shou Wangjun's military literacy is not covered, and he executed her orders very quickly.
Since Zhao Fan left Luoyang City, Wei Ruqian has supported the operation of the entire Luoyang City as a woman, but fortunately, the officers at all levels and all the soldiers of the Shouwang Army have given her enough support, so there is no chaos.
Because of the influence of Wu Zetian's special existence, everyone did not put forward any special opinions on Wei Ruqian, a woman in charge of the overall situation, I have to say that the atmosphere of Datang is still relatively open as a whole.
The enemy troops under the city quickly approached Luoyang City, and many soldiers' hands holding weapons began to tremble, completely losing their former peace, and they didn't know if it was because of fear or excitement.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Wei Ruqian looked at the enemy who was getting closer and closer under the city, gritted her teeth and waved her hand, and countless arrows flew up from the city and shot towards the soldiers of the Great Qi Army on the ground.
Borrowing the height of the Luoyang city wall, the soldiers of the Shouwang Army shot arrows with a sound of breaking through the air, flying towards the enemy army under the city.
Countless rebel soldiers, before they could react, were completely nailed to the ground, unable to move. Many of the rebel soldiers lay on the ground wailing in pain with several crossbow arrows in their bodies, but they could not die for a while.
The dense rain of arrows did not stop the advance of the rebels, but stimulated their bloodiness even more, and they rushed desperately towards Luoyang one by one, like sharks smelling blood.
"Brethren, quick, quick!"
Wei Zhongyong gently drove the war horse under his crotch, and at the same time raised his right arm, and the heralds who followed him sounded the horn of attack one after another, and the soldiers who rushed to the front quickly raised their shields, accelerated their pace, and launched a charge towards Luoyang City.
The rain of arrows at the head of the city was still dense, but most of them fell on the shields of the soldiers in the front row, and a small number of stray arrows fell on the wells and trebuchets, making a sound of striking, but the effect was not satisfactory.
Finally, after a few rounds of arrow rain, the soldiers of the Judgment Army, who had paid hundreds of lives, finally entered the range of attack.
Thousands of archers lowered their shields, raised their longbows, drew their feathered arrows from the baskets behind their backs, and slowly buckled them onto their longbows, ready to shoot.
The catapults that had already reached the Chinese army also stopped advancing, one after another the catapults were installed and fixed, the winches were rapidly running under the rapid operation of the soldiers, and the boulders of fifty or sixty kilograms were put into the bullet bags, ready to attack at any time.
"Put!"
With the order of the ram cart, countless stone bullets flew up from the army formation of the Great Qi Army, and flew towards the city with the sound of whistling wind, and tens of thousands of feather arrows flashed with cold light, covering the entire sky.
"Quick, squat, all squat!"
Scar's face changed, and he shouted anxiously as he hid behind the battlement.
Wei Ruqian and Qiao Yi hid under the wall as soon as possible, and the soldiers of the Shouwang Army reacted very quickly, and without waiting for Scar to speak, they each found a place to hide.
After a while, the entire Luoyang city was in shambles, countless feather arrows were inserted into the city wall, although the soldiers had already taken refuge under the battlements, but there were still many unlucky eggs who were shot by flying arrows, and they didn't even have time to scream, and they died in Huangquan.
In particular, the people who came to support the city defense spontaneously suffered the most casualties, and although they received simple training before coming, many of them did not have time to react, and were nailed to the aisles of the city wall by the speeding feather arrows.
There are also some unlucky people, in order to satisfy their curiosity, probe their brains to check the situation outside the city, just now show a head, they were shot by a stray arrow, and died on the spot.
What's worse is that several of the dozens of boulders thrown by the catapult directly hit the head of the city, and the soldiers who were hit by the boulders were even more boneless, which brought great psychological pressure to the defenders at the head of the city.
The boulders that fell into the city not only destroyed many buildings, but also caused huge civilian casualties.
"General! Checkmate! ”
Just as the enemy was still attacking, a terrible cry reached Scar's ears from not far away, and he suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
"What's wrong? Lie down and don't move! The bearded man looked to the place where the voice had come from, and saw a soldier dressed as a soldier with a sad face and yelling at him.
"General, bearded general... Bearded general, he was crushed to death by a boulder! The soldier's eyes were red, and he said with a choked voice.
Scar chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly looked at the place where the beard was hiding, where there was no beard, a huge stone was falling where he was just hiding, the beard was long gone, only a pair of legs were exposed from under the boulder, still twitching, a helmet lying quietly next to the boulder.
Exactly the helmet of the bearded!
