Chapter 201: The Onslaught of the Whole Army (Part I)
On the third day of the siege, after the whole day of temptation yesterday. Liu Ye had already roughly understood the reality of Tutunu's city defense. Today is a crucial battle for the Saigo Army. If the Xixiang Army can defeat the Tutunu Department in one go, then the next war situation will develop in favor of the Xixiang Army. Of course! If it can't be broken, then the Xixiang army will be in major trouble. There is a high risk of being caught between two sides. After all, the first siege must be the strongest stage of the attacker, and if the first attack cannot break the enemy's city, it is impossible to break the city in a short time. Once it is delayed until the main force of the allied forces arrives, then the Xixiang army will be miserable!
Therefore, for this siege, Liu Ye attaches great importance to it. It's not hidden. In last night's military discussion, Liu Ye had already decided to send out the elite of the whole army. I plan to attack the city with the main force as soon as I come up.
Just like the night before, last night Liu Ye also sent some soldiers to harass the Tutunu tribe. However, the difference the night before yesterday was that in order to truly achieve the effect of exhausting the enemy, Liu Ye moved his real character and sent an elite anti-reconnaissance team to the city to kill people. made the Hu people in the city nervous all night. Although the anti-reconnaissance team has lost a lot of manpower as a result (after all, the anti-reconnaissance team is only an elite and not a hero who walks on the wall). But the effect is still good, at least the Hu people guarding the wall today, their mental state is not particularly good. Quite a few people are even drowsy.
Because today is a big war. During the morning meal, Liu Ye slaughtered a lot of fat sheep and sacrificed the army, so that the soldiers of each department had a hearty breakfast.
After the morning eclipse. Under the leadership of Liu Ye, the main force of thousands of Xixiang Army slowly walked out of the camp. Advancing with the Xixiang army were all kinds of siege equipment. Compared with the Hu people, the reason why the Han people are good at offensive and defensive warfare is that in addition to having strict discipline, the Han people know how to control various instruments. This is far beyond the reach of the Hu people.
Looking at the Xixiang army pushing all kinds of siege equipment, the Hu people guarding the walled wall all gasped. It was the first time for these Hu people to see so many siege machines, and they couldn't name many of them. But that doesn't affect the fear in their hearts.
Looking at the dense siege equipment outside the city, Lord Tutunubu and Lord Hougo felt a tingling in their scalps. They don't think of these siege engines as mere decorations.
"How can Zhao Gou have so many siege equipment on this dog day, how did they build so many in two days?" Lord Atsugobe wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
"Who knows? If the original coalition army had these weapons, they would have already destroyed this group of Zhao dogs, and they would not have been allowed to take the opportunity to develop and grow. Looking at the siege equipment that was gradually entering the city, revealing its hideous siege equipment, Lord Tutunu sighed. A large part of the reason why the coalition forces could not break through the eastern camp at the beginning was because of the siege equipment.
"Brother, don't be emotional! This group of Zhao dogs is about to attack. What should we do? Lord Hougobu said urgently.
"What else can I do? Do your best! To be on the safe side, let's send the reserves first! Tutunube-sama sighed again.
"This? Is this necessary? Ago was surprised. For the first time, he heard that the enemy had not yet attacked, so he went directly to the reserves. How cowardly this must be!
Tutunube-sama seemed to know what Ahougo-sama was thinking, and said earnestly, "Brother! If it's some other enemy. Somebody won't send out the reserves all at once. But don't forget that there is the existence of the Wolf King and the terrifying white armor army in the Zhao Dog Army. Once Zhao Gou first started the war, he threw that terrorist force into battle. How can I stop it? For the sake of safety, it is better to put the prepared elite into battle first, just in case. ”
"Brother, you have a point!" Lord Hougobu nodded in agreement.
"That's not right! Look, brother! The White Wolf Silver King doesn't seem to be in Zhao Gou's military array! At the mention of the White Wolf Silver King, Lord Houwubu couldn't help but look outside the camp. But when he turned his head to look left and right, he found something that frightened him, that is, the 'White Wolf Silver King' goblin was gone.
Unlike the armor of other tricolor armors, the armor on the little goblin's body was specially made for Liu Ye by the system, and it was shining brightly when standing in the sun. Plus the goblin's unique frosty temperament. Standing in the crowd, even among the thousands of Saigo troops, it is still conspicuous and easy to recognize.
'What?' The White Wolf Silver King is gone! That's not good! Tutunu-sama exclaimed. Leprechauns are authentic weapons of mass destruction. It is the existence of the Tuhou coalition that needs to be vigilant. Once the goblin suddenly appeared in an important key position, it would be a great disadvantage for the Tuhou coalition army.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Lord Hougobu said nervously.
"There's nothing to do, just pray for the blessing of the Sirius God." Lord Tutunubu shook his head.
"But you don't have to be too nervous, brother. No matter how strong the White Wolf Silver King is, he is only one person, as long as we strengthen our vigilance! She had absolutely no chance. Then Tutunu-sama said with relief. But even he felt a little unreasonable when he said this. After all, leprechauns are no ordinary people.
"It seems that this is the only way to go!" Lord Hougobu sighed.
"Brother, Zhao Gou has started to attack! I'll go back to my post first! ”
"Okay! Brothers! ”
"That's right! Brother, beware of the enemy's hidden arrows. There is an existence comparable to the Condor Shooter in the Saigo Army! Tutunubu-sama suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly instructed. If it were placed in normal times, Lord Tutunubu would never deliberately remind him, and even wished that Lord Hougobu would be shot to death. In this way, he can swallow up his subordinates. But now, the Tutunu ministry is in danger. There must be no surprises. Once the Lord of the Hougo Department is dead, it will be a devastating blow to the morale of the Tuhou coalition army.
"Thanks! Brothers. ”
……
"Go to war!"
Seeing that the various departments were ready, Liu Ye, who commanded the Xixiang army to fight on the chao car, ordered.
"The Lord's Order: The whole army is attacking the city! Drumming! The attendant yelled.
The drummers and trumpeters who heard the command worked together to beat the drum and beat the horn. Signal the offensive to the whole army.
"Quick! Fast! The bed crossbow team quickly put on the crossbow strings, and each team adjusts the angle according to the ruler of the day before yesterday, aiming and shooting! ”
"Stone artillery team prepare! Quick-loading flint. Listen to a certain command, light a fire, shoot. ”
It was the bed crossbow team that took the lead in the attack, but this time there was more stone artillery team. Stone cannon, also known as stone throwing machine, is an important siege equipment in ancient times. After a certain traverser's improvement, its range and power have been greatly increased. In this battle, Liu Ye specially ordered people to build six stone cannons and formed a stone artillery team. However, the reassembly of the stone cannon is more troublesome. In addition, the craftsmen in the army have been busy building the rest of the siege equipment. So two days ago, the Stone Artillery team did not have a chance to play. But today, it can finally show its face.
Compared with the bed crossbow, the range and accuracy of the stone cannon are undoubtedly inferior. But in terms of deterrence and lethality, the bed crossbow is far inferior to the stone cannon. After all, there is no immunity to being hit by a boulder falling from the sky. And the death will be very miserable, if you die, forget it, but if you survive, it will be worse than death. Moreover, this kind of tragic situation can easily destroy people with poor psychological quality.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! The sound kept ringing. The Hu people on the wall of the Tutunu tribe could only curl up behind the female wall, praying for the protection of the wolf god. Pray that he won't be hit by something like this like some of his companions. But apparently some people can't do it.
The combined attack of the stone artillery and bed crossbow teams did not last long. At most, it's just over an hour. There were not many casualties either. But it brought a huge psychological shadow to the Tuhou coalition forces guarding the wall. It can be seen from the many dull-eyed Hu herdsmen and slave soldiers.
After the stone cannons and bed crossbows were fired, it was time for the siege soldiers to perform. As the former enemy commander of this siege battle, Liu Shi drew his saber and roared angrily: "Those who enter the city first will be rewarded with fifty yuan and promoted to two levels." Brothers, kill someone! ”
"Kill!" The Saigo infantry who participated in the siege also shouted.
Under Liu Shi's orders, thousands of Xixiang troops began to attack the south gate of Tutunu with various siege equipment. The war related to the future of the Xixiang Army officially began. When Liu Ye led the main force of the Xixiang Army to attack the south gate of the Tutunu Division. Fan Yong of the East Gate and Tang Jue of the West Gate also attacked at the same time. Although they were only auxiliary attacks, they used all their strength and did not do anything perfunctory. If you can break through the gates, that's the best. If it can't be broken, it can involve some of the elite soldiers of the Tuhou coalition army.
……
Henan, Luoyang, somewhere.
"Damn! I didn't expect my guest Xi to lose to that kind of person! Xi Chao said angrily in the carriage. Completely lost his usual composure.
"Alright! All right! Isn't it just a game of chess? As for it! Ye Zi on the side said with relief.
"Ziqin, you don't understand! This sideline chess is a battlefield for the two of us. I didn't expect that my guest Xi would be so conceited and full of economy, and he would lose so badly! Xi Chao said with some frustration. Especially thinking of the cheap ridicule of a certain dead fat man before leaving, Xi Chao was even more angry.
"Then why did you stop the concubine from killing that crumb?" Ye Zi wondered. For a certain dead fat man, Ye Zi also has no good feelings. Especially the dead fat man who always looked at her with squinting eyes. If Xi Chao hadn't stopped her, she would have stabbed him to death with a sword.
"Ziqin, didn't you notice that in the end, the fat man's two guards were missing?" Xi Chao shook his head and said.
"Really?"
"If you had done it, that fat man would have died. But there must be no good end for a few of us! Xi Chao sighed.
"This?" Ye Zi exclaimed.
"Forget it! Stop thinking about those unpleasant things! The mission was also a complete success. It's time for us to go back and get married. Xi Chao suddenly smiled.
"Thank you for doing so much for the concubine!" Ye Zi respectfully saluted Xi Chao.
"Thanks what! That's as it should be. Xi Chao rubbed Ye Zi's little head and said.
"The little woman is not talented, and she is willing to serve her husband forever. I hope you don't give up! ”
"Uh-huh!"
