Chapter 1110 Wu Yue Song Yan, the Battle of the Four Armies
2. When Zhao Jun heard this, he didn't dare to be careless, so he quickly turned around with his knife, walked to the war drum in person, grabbed the drum hammer, and slammed the drum surface.
The huge vibration, like a flat lake, throws stones, sets off sound waves, and the drum surface is about to shake.
Bang, bang, bang.
The earth-shattering drums sounded from the city, and the sound waves spread in all directions.
In the corridor of the city wall, the soldiers who stood firm, heard the sound of drums, and all cheered up and prepared for battle.
Under the city wall, resting the Yan army, they also grabbed their weapons, hurriedly ran wildly, and came in the direction of the city.
Gather the city walls, move the rolling wood and stones, install the bed crossbow, burn the boiling water, and everything is in order.
Under the city wall, Song Qi, Wang Zhengwen, Mu Qianjun, led 300,000 coalition troops under the tent, covered the sun with flags, mighty, blowing horns, and the momentum was like a rainbow forward.
Song Qi, Wang Zhengwen, Mu Qianjun rode horses, led the troops to stay at the front of the army, in the rear of the three people, it was the Song army under the Song Qi account, the left and right wings, respectively, the Wu army under Wang Zhengwen's account, and the right wing was the Yue army.
These three armies, sincere cooperation, in the vicinity of the Southern Regions City, successively defeated the Yan army, forcing Zhao Hongru and Zhao Jun to constantly retreat, and now, only to defend the Southern Regions City.
Looking at the front like a giant, standing on the plain to get the Southern Regions City, Song Qi was violent, clutched his sword tightly and said: "Previously, the Southern Regions City has not been broken twice in a row, and now, the Yan army is sleepy and lacking, and the morale of the whole army is low.
"Lord Song, this Zhao Hongru and Zhao Jun are not idle people, and they are also brave in the southern and northern wars, which should not be taken lightly!" Wang Zhengwen looked at the city wall, stared at the Yan army moving back and forth in the corridor, and kindly reminded.
Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope.
He Wang Zhengwen defeated the Yan army many times, lost his troops and lost his generals, and his reputation was ruined. Despite the recent successive defeats of the Yan army, however, in the deployment of Zhao Hongru and Zhao Jun, only the skin of the Yan army was injured, and now, the main force of the Yan army still exists, and any careless move of the enemy may be hit by Zhao Hongru and Zhao Jun.
"What General Wang said is true, this Zhao Hongru is good at attacking cities, he has been with Zhao Jun, many times he has found a unique way to attack the city and seize the land, and the ironclad infantry under his account is the elite of the Yan Kingdom, the elite of the famous generals, and he must not be taken lightly, and he has never captured Zhao Hongru, Zhao Junqian, we must not be careless." Mu Qianjun also reminded.
This time, Yue Jun ordered him to personally lead the army, assist the Song army, and conquer the Yan army, when the situation was good, he did not want any accidents, and gave the Yan army a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Hearing this, Song raised his jaw, knowing Wang Zhengwen, Mu Junchen's words were heartfelt, and said: "Today's battle is a hard battle, although the Yan army occupies the city, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but as long as we go all out to attack the city, we can still hit the Yan army hard."
After that, Wang Zhengwen and Mu Junchen stopped talking, led the army under their tent, and moved forward quickly.
Arriving half a mile below the city wall, the 300,000-strong army slowly stopped.
At this time, Song Qi suddenly drew his war knife, raised it, and ordered the guards around him: "According to the plan, quickly beat the drums, push the catapults, bed crossbows, siege troops, carry siege vehicles, ladders, all prepare for battle, and prepare for the siege."
"Yes!" The cronies received the order, and without the slightest hesitation, turned around and rode their horses, galloping forward. Galloping along the front line of the army, he shouted loudly: "Drumming, messengers, big armaments."
"Drumming, messengers, great armaments."
"Drumming, messengers, great armaments!"
The guards rode their horses forward, shouting back and forth in front of the army, and the coalition forces in the rear shouted in unison, word of mouth.
Tidy up the three armies, move quickly, and soon, the ground coalition forces pushed the catapults, bed crossbows, rear infantry, and pushed the carts, which contained boulders and fire oil.
In the rear, a large number of Yan troops slid siege vehicles, drove ladders, rushed out of the army, shouted wildly, and rushed towards the southern region city.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The Song army was the vanguard, and he continued to drink wildly, like a torrent, stormy waves, and roaring angrily.
On the city wall, Zhao Hongru and Zhao Jun saw the coalition army surging under the city, Zhao Hongru squinted his eyes and looked coldly, and said: "The coalition army is pouring out, menacing, I am afraid that the southern region city is bound to win, today, there is bound to be a bitter battle."
"General Zhao, although the coalition forces are large in number and strong in momentum, the Yan army is by no means good, and they want to easily conquer the Southern Regions City, which is simply wishful thinking."
Zhao Hongru still looked cautious and said: "You see, the siege vehicles, catapults, and bed crossbows of the Song army are not idle, and the general should make arrangements as soon as possible to prevent the death of the Southern Regions City."
"General Zhao rest assured, I have already left an escape passage at the north gate, in case of failure, the only way to give up the south and retreat north is to join General Hou," Zhao Jun said.
Retreating westward again and again, the Yan army lost many soldiers, and the reinforcements did not arrive, so they had to evacuate, lest one day, they would be surrounded by the Song army and suffer heavy losses.
"So, it couldn't be better, General, let's fight!" Zhao Hongru was very satisfied with Zhao Jun's arrangement, looking at the ground, Song Jun carried the ladder on his shoulder, pushed the siege vehicle, and approached quickly.
Zhao Jun didn't stay long, turned around and walked forward quickly, came to the war drum again, and beat the drum to signal the whole army to fight.
In an instant, in the city wall, the Yan army quickly moved. Spears are installed in the crossbow of the bed, and the stones are rolled together, and the boiling water in the pot is rattled,
Zhao Jun stood on the high platform, swept with cold eyebrows, witnessed the battle of the whole armament, and drank coldly: "The bed crossbow releases the spear and shoots the Song army under the city!"
Bang, bang, bang.....
Set up a crossbow on the city wall, filled with three spears, the Yan army released, and acted suddenly, and the spears flew down from the city wall like a flying silver snake.
Three, six, nine.....
Spears, scrambling in the air. It's as if a flock of birds flies by, making a buzzing sound.
Hundreds of steps away, it shot into the body of the Song army moving forward, like a meteorite falling to the ground, stabbing the Song army to stagger, screaming again and again.
A spear pierces the forward Song army, and the Song army will be properly checked, and continue to move forward quickly, often forming a scene of killing two birds with one stone.
Sometimes, the spear would pass through the Song army, the tip of the spear pierced into the ground, and the corpse of the Yan army hung from the tail of the gun.
The Song army, which was shuttling forward on the ladder, was attacked by spears, and for a while, paid a lot of price.
Wounded soldiers, crying dad and mother, rolling all over the ground, kicking up clouds of dust under the city.
Many Song troops were afraid of the rain of guns and slowed down their progress.
However, the Song army, which was hiding in the siege city, still relied on the siege vehicles to cover and advance under the city.
There was a tragic encounter of being shot by the Yan army's crossbow, the siege vehicle Song army, cautiously moving forward, the degree was extremely fast, from time to time there were spears piercing the siege vehicle, and only threatened the lives of a few Song troops, and could not hurt the main force of the Song army at all.
In the rolling dust, tall and powerful siege vehicles, like giants moving forward on the ground, burly and strong, tiger and tiger.
At the same time, in the rear of the Song army, in the catapult, the bed crossbow arrived at the predetermined position, and the Song army also acted quickly to counterattack the Yan army within the city wall.
Song Jun in a row, holding the rope, lowering the stones, filling the groove with fire oil, waiting for the Song army next to him, quickly lifting the fire oil or stones, and putting them into the groove, the Song army in the rear, picked up the torch, quickly lit the fire pot, and several people pulled the rope violently. The groove is filled with oil and stones, and it flies out of the air.
The fire poured into the air, emitting black smoke, dragging its long tail, mixed with stones, and for a moment, the sky seemed to become turbid.
Stones and pots of fire flew forward and approached the city wall.
Zhao Jun looked at it and couldn't help shouting: "All hide to prevent the Song army from attacking."
Bang bang bang.....
Bang bang bang.....
The stones hit the city wall and shattered, causing violent shaking, as if even the city wall was shaking, injuring many Yan troops who had no time to hide.
The fire pot is filled with oil and hits the city wall or walkway, the fire pot bursts, and the oil splashes everywhere and burns quickly.
For a while, the city wall was full of flames, and in many places flames, endangering the bed crossbows in the corridors.
Zhao Hongru did not hesitate, shuttled through the aisle, and shouted urgently: "Quickly extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire quickly, and prevent the bed crossbow from being burned."
Hidden Yan army, you have to order to act quickly, but the boulder landed, occasionally smashed in the boiling pot, the iron pot broke, the boiling water flowed, the iron pot overturned, the boiling water splashed, the Yan army these preparations, not yet the enemy, but the first to hurt themselves.
Many Yan Jun who were scalded by boiling water made miserable screams from their mouths.
However, the Yan army that luckily escaped a catastrophe, according to the grabbing of the wooden scoop, scooping out boiling water, pouring it on the crossbow of the fire bed, the nearby Yan army, quickly installed a spear, and counterattacked the Song army on the ground.
The Song army was numerous and well-equipped, and the battle began, and it had firmly gained the upper hand.
At this time, although there were many casualties in the whole army, the Song army was like a rainbow and had strong combat effectiveness.
When the siege vehicle arrived at the city wall, the Song army, hidden under the body, rushed out like a fish, along the steps of the siege vehicle, grabbed the weapon, shouted in his mouth, and rushed to the top of the city wall.
Arriving at the top deck, the iron hook in his hand hooked the siege vehicle, fixed the siege vehicle with the city wall, and the Song army raised its war knife and rushed towards the city wall with great momentum.
Inside the city wall, when the Yan army rushed to the city wall from the siege vehicle of the Song army, it had already prepared crossbowmen and shot with crossbows, and there were also Yan troops, scooping out boiling water and pouring it on the fast-moving Song army.
When the Song army rushed to the city wall, it was fiercely blocked by the Yan army.
When rushing to the deck of the siege engine, they will be attacked by the spears in the hands of the Yan army, and often the Song army will be pierced by the spears in the hands of the Yan army when they rush to the city wall, and fall under the city wall.
However, the momentum was like the rainbow Song army, and there was still no hesitation, still seeing death as home, shouting all the way to kill, and rushing to the city.
The war began and was in full swing.
In the distance, Song Qi witnessed the Song army one after another, with strong combat power, but also encountered the stubborn resistance of the Yan army, and couldn't help but turn his head, looked at Mu Junchen and Wang Zhengwen on the left and right, and said loudly: "General Wang, General Mu, the Song army is about to climb the city wall, at this time, it is time for the Wu Yue army to kill out, assist the Song army, and capture the southern region city in one go."
"Lord Song, rest assured."
"The battle is really as expected by Prince Song, and the Yan army in the city is not to worry!"
Wang Zhengwen and Mu Junchen led the army to watch the battle, and noticed that not long after the battle began, the Song army faintly showed signs of attacking the city in the southern region of the mountain with its powerful siege equipment.
According to the deployment, it is time for the Wu Yue army to show its strength.
Mu Junchen drew his sword and signaled to the guards around him, and Wang Zhengwen also commanded the guards around him: "The whole army will be drawn and assist the Song army in attacking the city."
In an instant, Wu Yue's two personal guards rode their horses to the left and right flanks of the army, and shouted to the general in charge of the siege forward: "The general has an order, start attacking the city."
Woo......oo
In the two armies, the sound of the silent horn sounded, and the soldiers who waited for the Dan heard the horn of the charge, and they were ready to move.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The left and right wings, separated by a few miles, the leaders of the two armies of Wu and Yue shouted, pulled out their swords, held them high in the air, pointed the blade to the Southern Regions City, and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind them.
For a while, thirty or forty thousand infantry rushed out from the left and right flanks, like sea water, rolling in the direction of the southern region city.
In the process, often encountered the Yan army's spears, arrow rain attack, Wu Yue soldiers brave, mutual casualties, but it seems that Wu Yue's army can not stop the siege passion.
"Kill, capture the Southern Regions City, capture Zhao Hongru alive, and capture Zhao Jun alive!"
"Kill, capture the Southern Regions City, capture Zhao Hongru alive, and capture Zhao Jun alive."
Wu Yue's army was overwhelming, which made Zhao Hongru and Zhao Jun can't help but worry.
Today, the Song army attacked with all its might, and the Yan army was burned by fire oil and boulders.
In the aisle, there are more and more fire oil, the fire is getting stronger and stronger, the boiling water is boiling to put out the fire, but it melts with the fire oil, and the fire oil and boiling water flow, making the fire more difficult to control and the greater the threat to the Yan army.
The Yan army blocked the Song army from entering the city, and was often unable to prevent it, being hit by the stones, bleeding all over, falling down the aisle, or falling under the city.
The casualties of the Yan army were not small, and the Wu, Yue and Song coalition armies continued to increase.
Zhao Hongru was entangled, worried that if the battle continued, the casualties of the Yan army would be heavier, but if he retreated and went to the next city, he would still encounter the siege of the coalition army, and he would still suffer casualties, and he would be buried in the Yan army in the southern region, wouldn't he die in vain!
In hesitation, he only heard Zhao Jun next to him, and said loudly to the soldiers of the Yan army: "Roll the wood and stones, fall down all, and hit the enemy army in the city."
In the crisis, the soldiers of the Yan army did not dare to delay, and even Zhao Jun personally grabbed the boulder, held it high, and violently led the siege vehicle into the siege vehicle, charging the Song army.
For a while, inside the city wall, rolling wood and stones, in the hands of the Yan army, fell down the city wall and smashed on the Song army that entered the city, causing the Song army to scream.
At this time, Zhao Hongru did not dare to hesitate, and shouted wildly: "The spear provokes the iron hook of the siege vehicle to connect the city wall, and quickly burns all the siege vehicles with the help of fire oil."
Today, if he can't defend the Southern Regions City, he must also quickly destroy the siege vehicles of the Song army, once the siege vehicles are burned, even if the Song army still has a cloud ladder, the siege will be slowed down quickly, and the Yan army will have a chance to breathe, and more importantly, it can severely damage the siege coalition army.
Hearing the sound, the Yan army in danger, all acted in unison, the spear provoked the iron hook, grabbed the clay pot and fell on the deck of the siege vehicle, the oil overflowed the deck, dripping on the siege vehicle, and the torch in the hand of the Yan army fell on the siege vehicle, and the siege vehicle instantly ignited flames.
Falling from the oil of fire, forming a large group of flames, falling from the sky, risking death to charge the Song army, encountered the flame attack, either forced to retreat, or injured screaming, the fire spread with the oil to the siege engine, forcing the Song army to retreat.
Soon, near the city wall, all the siege vehicles of the Song army were burning, and billowing smoke was rising.
Zhao Hongru's eyes were sharp, staring at the approaching Wu Yue army, and ordered some Yan troops to hold crossbows, wanting to shoot them.
