Chapter 1057: Xia Qingzhou (2)
The city gate was wide open, and countless cavalry rushed out of the city gate, and shot back and killed. Wu Lan knew that Yan Zongbi had been killed when the city gate was opened, and immediately swallowed a mouthful of spit, he still knew the strength of the Jin cavalry, he was not as good as Li Jing, even Wu Song and others, it was very difficult to resist Yan Zongbi's attack, and the cavalry under his command was not as strong as the Jin people, so I don't know if I could resist the other party's attack.
"Archers ready, put!" Behind him, the long arrow in Hua Rong's hand had been shot, and the five thousand archers around him shot the bows and arrows in their hands one after another, countless bows and arrows instantly shrouded the city gate, and bursts of screams came, although these cavalrymen were wearing leather armor or iron armor, but in the face of five thousand sharp arrows, in a relatively small place, there were still many golden soldiers who fell to the ground.
"Kill!" Wanyan Zongbi was covered in iron armor all over his body, the bow and arrow fell on him, making a burst of gold and iron sound, but it couldn't penetrate the armor on his body, under the iron helmet, Wanyan Zongbi's face was gloomy, his eyes flashed with a gloomy color, the big knife in his hand waved, drove the war horse under his crotch, and killed the enemy in front of him, the screams in his ears seemed to be far away, there were only endless enemies in front of him, as for how many soldiers died behind him, he didn't pay attention to it, where is the war immortal.
Hua Rong's archers only shot two waves of bows and arrows, and Wanyan Zongbi led the fierce cavalry to crash into the Tang cavalry, and the cavalry on both sides launched a fierce battle.
At the big place of the Chinese army, Wu Jue looked at the Qingzhou city wall in front of him, and he didn't pay attention to the fighting not far away, he just looked at the artillery in front of him, this weapon that he had high hopes for, hoping to change the battlefield in an instant.
Simply enough, the reality did not disappoint him, after the artillery adjusted the range, Liu Ming personally commanded, a loud noise appeared on the position, even the sound of the return cannon was covered in the sound of the cannon, there was a roar in the distance, the smoke passed, and I saw that the city wall in the distance was smashed out of a huge hole.
Wu Jue's mouth is open, how strong the Qingzhou city wall is, he knows, after several months of attack, Qingzhou City is still strong in front of him, although there are countless mottles on it, but Wu Jue never thought that after a round of attacks, such a result can appear, under the clairvoyant mirror, it is clearly shown that a huge crack has appeared on the city wall.
"Go on the offensive." Wu Jue's face was happy, and he said to Liu Ming beside him.
A huge sound erupted from the position, a burst of sulfur smell filled the sky, under the big fire, nearly a hundred stone bullets were placed there, like a hill, the craftsmen from the Guangbei siege made while serving the artillery, while moving the stone bullets, basically an artillery is operated by four people, one person puts stone bullets, one person throws gunpowder, one person ignites, one person wipes the barrel, the four people have a clear division of labor, not only to ensure that the operation is safer, but more importantly, the speed of the cannon is much faster.
In the distance, there were originally a few gaps that were only the size of a basin, but with a few cannon shots, the gaps became bigger and bigger, not only the target direction of the artillery attack was aimed at those gaps, but even the direction of the return artillery attack involuntarily aimed at the basic gaps.
The face of the city wall was gloomy, and those stone bullets seemed to hit his heart, which made him breathless, at this time he finally knew Wu Jue's plan, the return cannon was not against the soldiers on the city wall, but against the city wall, which had already lost a lot of city walls, under the attack of the powerful stone bullets, there was no resistance at all, crumbling, and he didn't know when the city wall was destroyed.
It's just that Ha Mi Chi has no way to solve this situation at all, the enemy's range is far beyond the bow and arrow, and it is no longer even within the range of the crossbow, and the only one who can threaten the return cannon is only the cavalry of Wanyan Zongbi, but it is a pity that the cavalry of Wanyan Zongbi is now desperately suppressed outside the city by Wu Lan, and it cannot hurt the return cannon in the slightest.
Wanyan Zongbi also found this problem in the chaotic battle, and was very angry in his heart, so he could only attack Wu Lan hard, the elite degree of soldiers and horses in Wu Lan's hands was naturally not as good as Wanyan Zongbi, and the number could only be equal to Wanyan Zongbi, simply Hua Rong led the archers to support on the side, and occasionally shot sharp arrows in his hands at the enemy's cavalry, launched an attack, interfered with the offensive direction of the Jin army, and barely could ensure the balance of the combat effectiveness of the two sides.
Wanyan Zongbi waved the big knife in his hand, and the loud sound seemed to hit his heart, he didn't expect that the return cannon would have such a great destructive power, of course, if he knew that this destructive power was actually caused by the four artillery, I am afraid he would not have this kind of thought. In any case, the Jin army at this moment is only a stone's throw away from the artillery position, but this arrow is like a moat, blocking in front of Wanyan Zongbi, so that Wanyan Zongbi can't get close to a minute, and he stubbornly watched the huge stones falling from the sky not far away, making a huge roar, and then slamming on the city wall, and the city wall instantly appeared full of holes.
"Quick, command the army to retreat and prepare for street fighting." Ha Mi Chi watched the city wall shake more and more intensely, and knew that that section of the city wall might not be able to withstand the enemy's attack, if you don't take precautions, after the city wall collapses, it will cause casualties to your own army, and it will also cause panic among your own army, since this is the case, it is better to temporarily retreat and prepare for street fighting with the enemy.
With the order of Ha Mi, a front about several zhang wide on the city wall appeared vacant, and many Jin soldiers either gathered behind the city wall, waiting for the enemy to rush into the city, and also fought with the enemy in the streets, or hid far away, waiting for the enemy to enter the city through the gap, and then their own army condescended, or attacked it with bows and arrows, or poured gold juice on it.
"Boom, boom!" A burst of roaring sounds, finally, in the exclamation of Wanyan Zongbi and the cheers of the Tang army, the Qingzhou city wall, which had been supported for several months, collapsed, and a gap about ten steps wide appeared in front of everyone.
"General, the walls have been opened and you can attack." Liu Ming looked at the huge gap in front of him, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how strong Qingzhou City is, there is no chance to resist in front of the artillery, but between the teas, the continuous attack finally smashed a huge gap in the Qingzhou city wall, and this attack at least saved the lives of thousands of Tang Army soldiers.
"Can you move the artillery and return cannon ten steps forward?" Wu Jue was shocked in his heart, but his face showed ecstasy, he saw a few round stone bullets in the distance, and immediately asked. He's already benefited, and it seems that he's getting more and losing less of his subordinates, even if it takes a little more time.
