Chapter 476: The People Who Die More Than Grass

It is difficult for the Western Army to fight Luzhou, but it is easy to deal with Duanzhai Town, Qingyang Town, Yongan Town, and even Shen County.

Hundreds of people worked together, the cannon roared violently, and the large cannon turned into an arc in the air and smashed straight towards the target.

Listening to the sound of "boom", the stones fell accurately on the city wall, and the loud sound shook the mountain, and the entire city wall shook, and the fragments of mud and sand flew up in a large area.

In the Song Dynasty, the city wall was rarely made of stone and bricks, and the city of Luzhou was still built of rammed earth, so it was not to be used in other places.

A cannon stone smashed on the city wall of Luzhou City will not immediately reveal the crack, but if it is placed on the wall of Shenxian County, there will be a problem.

"Yao Xianggong, it's cracked, it's cracked......"

A county official came to report with a crawl.

Yao Xiang, the county commander of Shenxian County, suddenly turned pale, and the faces of the county lord and the lord Bo beside him also changed greatly. I have long known the power of the cannon cart, and if such a heavy stone is thrown so far, you can imagine how powerful it will be when it falls. This is a hit on the city wall, if it is a person, I am afraid that there will only be a piece of blood and mud.

But they can only survive.

Zhao Li has already taken over the defense of the county seat of Shen County. The latter is the soldier and horse envoy of Shouzhou, with seven garrison battalions under his command, together with some soldiers and horses allocated by Luzhou, and 5,000 troops have gathered in the small Shen County, with the sole purpose of defending the city.

Hold Shen County here, and Han Tao guard Zhegao Town over there, so the situation in Luzhou is not completely out of control. Although the loss of Chaoxian County has reduced the advantage of the Huainan Army a lot, Shen County and Zhegao Town are still in hand, so that the Huainan Army still has the possibility of turning the tables.

"Put it again!" Although there are only two stone cannons outside the city, their lethality is amazing.

"Boom! Boom"

With the continuous sound, the bluestone slabs in the city were shattered, and the large cannons sank deeper and deeper.

But it was the reason for the accuracy that Song Jun's stone cannon was lost.

But you can't avoid the fifteenth day of junior high school, and you still have to come when you should come. Half an hour later, in a series of earth-shattering loud noises, a piece smashed near the original crack in the city wall, and at the same time, the original crack increased rapidly, and the rubble fell hula-la-la.

Then a burst of artillery and stones flew, and the female wall of the city wall was smashed down, and the collapsed broken earth wall fell to the outside of the city, causing a big gap to suddenly appear in the city wall of the county town.

When the Western Army outside the city saw it, they immediately cheered together, and the sound was deafening.

Yao Xiang's heart was in turmoil, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to do. But Zhao Li, who was guarding the city, had already thought of this.

The female wall at the head of the city is not something he wants to defend at all, the resources of the small Shen County are limited, and the female wall is still resigned to fate. On the contrary, the enemy tower at the head of the city made him more attentive. Its method is to evolve from the series of buildings, erect a false fence around the building turret, and pile up coarse chaff cloth bags below, even if the turf is destroyed, it can be repaired quickly.

At the same time as the stone artillery bombardment, the Western Army also used another trick - the filling method.

"Cave, hole......" exclaimed the defenders at the head of the city. This is a kind of siege equipment with lower wheels, a giant wood on top, shaped like a house, covered with raw cowhide, and wrapped in iron sheet on the outside. The soldiers pushed the wheels forward inside, and each hole approached the city, and there would be countless holes behind it to keep up with it continuously, and more than thirty or fifty vehicles were connected one after another, and the soldiers continued to transmit civil engineering and firewood in it. Approaching the ditch under the city, they used large slabs of firewood to cushion the bottom, increased the height layer by layer, and finally filled the soil, and then paved the wooden rows, so that it was no different from the flat land.

With these invulnerable holes, no matter whether they are arrows, stones, or sassal woods thrown from the city, they are all ineffective and useless.

If necessary, these holes can also be crossed over the moats to the bottom of the city, where the soldiers can dig the roots of the city. It can be said to be a very sharp siege machine.

But for now, it doesn't need to be. These holes were only for the laying of the moats.

Because the walls of Shenxian are too thin. Before noon, a loud "boom" was heard, and a section of the city wall could not withstand the destruction, and it collapsed with a bang, revealing a gap of more than ten meters.

In the Song army outside the city, Zhao Ming suddenly ordered the war drums to be beaten, and the regular drums were beaten one after another, straight into people's hearts.

A large number of sergeants moved like a tidal wave, advancing towards the city walls. After a while, the sound of killing suddenly started, and a large number of western troops rushed into the gap in the city wall.

The threat of stone cannons made the city save the boiling water of gold juice, but the ash bottle and the dry wood fire were still easy.

Therefore, it is really easy to defend the city, as long as you can calm it without panic, as long as the method is effective.

Zhao Li studied for a while in the Wuluo Academy, not to mention anything else, he had been in the war theater several times, and the "City Defense Plan" found above was also very familiar. This ash bottle and dry wood and fire are the simplest and most effective methods.

Can easily deal damage and block attacking enemies.

Wang De held an iron fork in one hand and a thick shield in the other, charging at the forefront, wanting to jump on the city and fight with the enemy. But who knew that the ash bottle was about to die, the large bundles of dry firewood were dropped, the bundles of straw were ignited and pushed down, and the collapsed gap of more than ten meters was sealed by a wall of fire in the blink of an eye.

A crossbow bolt was nailed into the heavy shield he was lifting, and the tremendous force caused Wang De to stagger under his feet, so that he could not stumble and fall to the ground. He hurriedly used his strength to stabilize his body! Look over the top of the heavy shield and look up.

When he saw a sharp arrow coming at him, he hurriedly hooked his head, and the arrow struck down the red tassel on the top of his helmet.

Then another arrow was nailed between his two feet that were split in front of him, which frightened Wang De's brain, and he couldn't help but take two steps back. Then he heard the sound of gold in his ears.

The officers and men of Xuanfeng retreated like a tide.

Back in the back formation, Wang De still had palpitations, the arrow was pierced between his feet, the bow and arrow were slightly off, and the soles of his feet or calves were about to be nailed to the ground by the arrows.

Wang De is naturally not afraid of death, but he is most afraid of being injured, because if he is injured, there is a certain chance of infection, or tetanus. Then it would be better to kill him with a single sword.

When the fire was extinguished, a simple city wall made of coarse sacks had been built on the slope of the soil with a gap of more than ten meters. Although the height was less than three feet, and it was just a foundationless sandbag built on the pile of earth of the collapsed city wall, it embarrassed the faces of the western troops outside the city.

"Kill, kill meβ€”" Zhao Ming was furious.

Li Chengping is a native of Shen County, and because he was born tall and strong, he was selected into the artillery team by the official army. Their task was to carry the stone cannons and stones, as well as to replenish the pulling force. The human-pulled stone cannon is also physically demanding.

Li Chengping had just been replaced, gasping for breath and sitting in the middle of the formation, their entire team was out of range covered by the rain of arrows at the head of the city. These people have Western sergeants, all of whom look fierce and vicious; There are also people from other places, but more of them are local Ding Zhuang, who was forcibly pulled over like him.

Everyone is an ordinary person, and everything in front of them is terrifying. Hundreds of people had been lying under the city wall, including the people and the officers and soldiers, most of the wounded of the latter had been rescued, only the former, those who had been forced by the ladder and other equipment under the threat of swords and guns and were hit by arrows from the city, some of the dead were not mentioned, and some of the non-dead were lying on the ground struggling, but the sound of war drums and shouts muffled their cries. No one had time to take care of them, and the soldiers of the Western Army rushed forward in large numbers, and those who were alive were trampled to death under the trampling of their feet; Not to mention the arrows and crossbows on both sides, the falling arrows were not only on the top of the city, or on the heads of the western army under the city.

Li Chengping clenched his fists, and finally could only release weakly.

Who called them only a people, but a people whose life was worse than grass? The Zhao family didn't take them seriously. It's not that there is news that the Zhao Guanjia has no money in their hands, and they all instructed the Western Army not to quell the rebellion, so they directly said to the Western Army that Jiangnan is rich and rich, and there is countless money and grain, and the Qing and others can take it directly. What does that mean, Li Chengping is very clear. There are no them in the eyes of the Zhao official family.

Panting like this, Li Chengping suddenly felt that this Zhao Guanjia was really inferior to Liang Shanjun. The people only occupied Shen County, and announced that this year's money and grain taxes will be exempted, and next year's money and grain will be halved.

At this moment, the sound of war drums suddenly changed, and a large number of crossbowmen and hand-to-hand armoured soldiers in front of them split the queue, and the ladder carts behind the formation began to move forward. This kind of cloud chariot was as high as the city wall, and thirty or fifty people below pushed four thick wooden wheels to turn forward. The cloud car can accommodate 20 people, and behind the car is a wooden ladder, which is dragged diagonally backwards to the ground, and can be climbed at any time. When the cloud cart was pushed to the front of the formation, the soldiers of the Xuanfeng battalion got up and formed a whole team under the command of the Dutou team, gathered under the car, and climbed to attack the city.

Zhao Ming launched ten ladder trucks this time and put in a battalion, the commander led by Xie Yuan, and the former battalion where Wang De was located was the follow-up, still sitting in place and waiting at the moment.

After the deployment of troops, each cloud vehicle carried twenty people, each wearing heavy armor and holding swords and shields. As the drums of war beat more rapidly, ten ladder carts slowly headed towards the city.

The arrow array of the selected front army under the city has changed a group of soldiers, and after this group of fresh troops went into battle, the speed of sending arrows was faster.

The ladder cart slowly but surely passed through the passage paved in the moat, and came directly to the edge of the city. The defenders of the city immediately fired some rockets and nailed them to the ladder cart, but they were not ignited because the entire body had been watered beforehand. The cloud chariot leaned against the city wall, and the blade and shield hand on the roof of the car withdrew the shield array in front of it and jumped into the city wall.

When the soldiers in the west of the city saw their brothers on the city wall, they all shouted excitedly, and the sound shook the four fields, and the war drums behind the battle also beat tighter. The brothers in Wang De's army couldn't sit still, and everyone got up one after another and stared at the city wall.

I saw that after the sword and shield men who were the first to climb the city jumped onto the city, the city head suddenly became noisy and chaotic. Wang De couldn't see the situation clearly, but he saw that the brothers under the cloud cart climbed to the top of the cloud cart one after another through the wooden ladder, and then jumped into the city one by one. There was a cheer from all over the military formations of the Western Army, and when he saw the command flag waving in the rear formation, he immediately ordered people to get up and form a team, and then quickly marched to the city, preparing to enter the city behind Xie Yuan's battalion.

Xie Yuan drove with the soldiers and horses of the battalion to the third ladder car under the city, and saw that the previous team of soldiers had all jumped into the city, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to follow him into the car. Xie Yuan held a steel knife in his hand and was about to climb the wooden ladder. Although his name is very ambiguous, he is a fierce general brother.

At the beginning, in the Hedong Army, one day he patrolled the border with his companions, and suddenly heard that the Western Xia soldiers were coming, and the rest were shocked. Du Xie Yuan was agitated, led twenty horsemen to capture his exploration horse, and knew that the enemy was moving. Immediately, he rode hundreds, and he was personally trapped, and the spear stabbed the chief of the Western Xia soldiers and fell from his horse, and the Xia soldiers fled in fear.

Attacking Tianhu, Xie Yuan also took the lead several times, especially in the battle of Weishengzhou, he jumped into the enemy city with a knife and killed dozens of people with short soldiers, which was the first contribution.

In the Xuanfeng Army, he is a fierce general on the same level as Wang De, one is the commander of the front battalion, and the other is the commander of the left battalion. They are all the vanguard of the whole army, and they can all fight on foot and on horse.

But as soon as Xie Yuan climbed a few steps, he saw two soldiers who had ascended first, climbed out of the battlements, and rushed straight to the cloud ladder. One of them was stabbed in the vest by a shot from behind when he jumped up the ladder and fell out of the car screaming, while the other was lucky enough to dodge the pursuing knife and gun, only to be shot twice by an arrow.

"Retreat, retreat......" The man had completely ignored the pursuit of the city, grabbed the ladder and descended rapidly, and still said "retreat" in his mouth. Xie Yuan was extremely angry in his heart, and he just wanted to step forward and kill the man with a knife, but as soon as he took a few steps, he saw a few black clay pots suddenly fly out of the city, and he was stunned, these clay pots smashed directly on the ladder car and shattered, and a smell of oil rushed straight to his nostrils. Xie Yuan was horrified, he didn't care about climbing the ladder again, and he didn't care about slashing and killing the person, so he jumped down directly and shouted: "Stand back!" Back off! Oilcan! It's an oil tank! ”

Han Feng Xiong said

Today I really saw what it is, and Heng Mei pointed coldly at Qianfu. That octogenarian lady is really powerful.

- The land where I live has recently had an old power outage, and the voltage detectors have been burned before, and now I have a new one, and the pressure is still high, so I am going to install another one at the original (five or six years ago) vertical voltage to reduce the pressure. It had been abandoned for several years.

But was opposed by the neighboring family, the old lady was in her eighties, and she couldn't afford to sit on the ground. It's not her home, and her house is so far away, but people just won't let it stand.

The entire area was without electricity, hundreds of households, and the unbearable heat of the summer could be described as a public outrage. But that old lady consumes from morning to night, no matter how many people you scold, people will not listen to it.

I can only say one thing I admire.
