Chapter 1125: The Attacking Ming Army (5)

"Fire!"

Dozens of thunderbolts threw iron bullets in the air intertwined into a dead web of flames, and fell from the sky, like the end of the world, everywhere it passed, everything was destroyed, and the fire soared into the sky.

"Crossbow!"

Dense crossbows roared past the city, sweeping the few remaining buildings on the city wall again, and some of them shot at the wall, causing the city wall to tremble for a while.

"P.S.!"

Dense soldiers shouted and rushed forward, and in the middle of them, one after another siege auxiliary vehicles were pushed by countless soldiers and rushed forward to the tattered county seat of Wanxian County.

After several days of tentative attacks, the buildings on the walls of Wanxian County were already in disarray, and the soldiers defending the city had little place to intervene.

But at this time, it finally reflected the brave side of the Qin soldiers, when the Ming army carried out a long-range attack, there was hardly a single soldier of the Qin army on the entire city wall, but when the long-range attack stopped, countless Qin people poured out from one corner after another, roaring to fill the empty city wall.

Without trebuchets and crossbows, these long-range weapons had already been destroyed by the Ming army's wave after wave of blows, and they lost their long-range suppression, so they used their lives to fill this gap.

Bows and arrows are the only ranged attack weapons they can use right now. On the walls, the bricks, stones, and timber of the destroyed buildings became their weapons to defend the city. These things were picked up and thrown to the city by the Qin soldiers at the first time, and the bricks and stones fell like rain, and under the city wall, they were raised by another layer in an instant.

Wood dyeing, rims, everything that can be lit was poured with grease and thrown down the city wall, which made the wall of fire surrounded by the city wall of Wanxian.

The waste of these things destroyed by the Ming army became the first obstacle for the Qin army to stop the Ming army.

The county seat of Wanxian is not big, but there are still more than 20,000 Qin troops. Huanghua Mountain was broken by Chen Shaowei Kezhen in a whole day, except for the main general Ma Xin escaped with a hundred and ten people, but the Qin army on Bauhinia Mountain, there were more than 2,000 people who successfully broke through the encirclement of Jian Fang and Jiang Hao and fled into the city, which also made Jian Fang and Jiang Hao lose face.

In fact, this has little to do with them, but because of the loss of Huanghua Mountain, the Qin army of Bauhinia Mountain chose to break through as soon as they learned the news.

More than 20,000 people to defend such a county town is enough in terms of troops. But the Ming army did not use all its strength in the attack in the past few days. They're still waiting to see if they can catch more fish.

This is the case to this day.

The Eagle's Nest has confirmed that the Yuan Yiqiu army in Wanxian County will not come back to Wanxian. Then, the 20,000 Qin troops in Wanxian will no longer have the need to exist.

The order for a general attack was given.

Yang Zhi, as the commander-in-chief of this siege, naturally unceremoniously put his new battalion in the first sequence of the attack. It's a good idea to benefit his new battalion.

Of course, as the troops of the first attack sequence, they also have to bear the enemy's most ferocious counterattack and the most stubborn resistance. Therefore, Yang Zhi also released all his elites without any reservations, and now there are only a few lonely heralds and flag soldiers left around him.

Riding a horse and standing under the banner of the Chinese army, Yang Zhi stared at the soldiers who surged up like waves, but the corners of his mouth were sneering, the attack a few days ago was just an appetizer, if you didn't want to take the bait in the autumn of Diaoyuan, you can still live until today, but that's it.

Jian put Jiang Hao to attack the southern city, Chen Shaowei Kezhen attacked the northern city, the new battalion attacked the eastern city, Yang Zhi left the western city, surrounded by three missing one, the standard classic siege style, of course, this left side, but not to let the Qin army flee for their lives, in the west, the three thousand cavalry of the fire death camp are bored watching this offensive and defensive battle, as long as Nian Chunfeng is not stupid, he will never break through from the west city, as long as he dares to go out, it will only make the Qin army become the meal on the plate of the fire death camp.

Yang Zhi wanted to let the 20,000 Qin troops be suffocated in the city.

As for the infantry miner battalion, in such a siege battle, it is natural to become a spectator again, which makes Lu Feng very depressed, if his soldiers are fully armed, everyone will carry dozens of pounds on their bodies, let them climb ladders to attack the city wall, it is too difficult for the strongman.

Now, his miners' battalion has become His Majesty's guard, and he can only accompany the emperor to chat with the emperor.

From time to time, he glanced at the fierce battlefield not far away, and now commanded Yang Zhi, but his subordinates were defeated back then, and a sand table deduction battle in Taiping City, the young and vigorous Yang Zhi was defeated and lost under him, which also made him sit firmly in the position of the general of the miners' battalion.

Over the years, the miner battalion has become many times stronger than back then, but his subordinate has also grown rapidly, and he is no longer the arrogant son. Lu Feng had to admit that this guy was really a character.

It seemed that he had a feeling in his heart, and when Lu Feng looked at Yang Zhi in front of him, Yang Zhi also turned his head to look here. Both the south city and the north city have two battle camps with tens of thousands of troops to attack, while the east city has only 5,000 people, it seems that the east city is not the focus of the attack, but Yang Zhi is sure in his heart that the first to break the city must be his new battalion.

It's not pride, it's confidence.

This time the attack, there is no focus or no focus, attacking the city on three sides, that side is the key, but the west city left for the Qin army is not a way out.

Wanxian County is so big, Yang Zhi has no need to have any priority at all.

The siege vehicle began to show his hideous nature as he advanced, and the soldiers behind him were desperately pushing him forward, while the soldiers on both sides were desperately shaking the handles one by one. The design of this auxiliary car is extremely exquisite, every time you shake the handle, it will make more than a dozen pairs of wheels in front of the auxiliary car roll forward, and at the same time of rolling, it also drives one gear after another, so that the panels that are folded together on the entire auxiliary car begin to slowly unfold and slowly rise. The iron pillars of the thickness of the hand bowl also stood up as the board surface was raised. For each of the props, a soldier climbed up nimbly, and with a hammer in his hand clanged a few times, and the junction of the two iron pillars was jammed by a living joint.

By the time the siege engines reached the bottom of the walls, the tops of the fully deployed side cars had already collided with the walls. The Ming army below roared and surged up the slope.

In an instant, the original city wall of more than ten meters high in Wanxian County almost no longer existed, whether it was the east city or the north and south cities, they were connected to the ground by this auxiliary vehicle.

Countless Ming troops roared along these auxiliary vehicles and rushed towards the city walls.

Immediately the Qin troops on the city jumped out, beating the wood, rolling stones along these inclined bones rolled down, the Ming troops besieging the city jumped to avoid these attacks, and a crossbow machine responsible for covering the city immediately raised its head and shot desperately towards the city wall.

The corpses fell like rain, there were Ming soldiers who were hit by rolling stones and wood on the auxiliary road, and Qin soldiers who were shot by crossbows just after they came out, and in the blink of an eye, there was a thick layer of corpses under the city wall. The attack was still short, but in this extremely short period of time, both sides suffered heavy losses.

The Qin army has a geographical advantage, and has the tenacious strength of not being afraid of death, but the attack of the Ming army is too sharp, and the shooting speed of the crossbow machine covered under the city is too intensive, and the Qin army almost resists the rain of arrows and then attacks the Ming army on the auxiliary road, and the front row will be shot almost before it has time to launch any attack, and the Qin army that can throw the rolling stones in his hand or shoot the feather arrows in his hand are all taking advantage of the sacrifice of the first row of comrades to attack, but when the first row of companions all fell, it was their turn againWith the exception of a few lucky ones, the others were basically shot down after they had just thrown the rolling stones in their hands.

In the blink of an eye, the rolling stones and the wood were too late to throw out, and the Ming army that rushed up along the auxiliary road was getting closer and closer to the city wall, and Ma Xin, who was guarding the eastern city, knew that if he hesitated again, the Ming army would inevitably be able to attack the city wall.

Ma Xin held a shield in one hand and jumped out from behind the city wall with a roar.

"Raise your shield!" He roared and was the first to rush up the siege road.

The shields on the city wall stood up immediately, and they no longer threw rolling stones and woods, because the losses caused by each throw were too heavy, and under the leadership of Ma Xin, they flocked to the siege auxiliary road in rows under the cover of the erected shields.

Melee!

A strong crossbow was immediately shot out from under the city, shattering one shield after another, and before the next shield was replenished, the crossbow machine immediately poured the crossbow arrows into it desperately along these empty moments, shooting down the Qin soldiers one by one.

Siege battles, but the attacking side completely suppresses the defending side.

Yang Zhi sneered and rode forward, "It's that simple."

The horse trotted at first, then rushed forward with a sharp acceleration.

On top of an auxiliary road, rushing to the front is a thunderstorm with two maces in his hand, the last time he attacked Xintong County, he was holding his breath, left and right thought about it, he didn't think that Xintong County City had no resistance at all, when he arrived at the county town with a thousand men and horses, it was simply effortless to take the county, compared with the exploits and gains of Bao Yasu, his point was simply worthless, for this, he was ridiculed by Bao Yasu for a long time, this time, of course, he wanted to get back all the lost face.

The two maces waved, knocking the Qin troops in front of them out one by one from the auxiliary road, and the thunderstorm shouted wildly, steadily advancing forward. It's getting closer and closer to the city.
