Chapter 1026 would rather die than give in, and defend Yancheng to the death
The Song army, in the Yan army's two consecutive rounds of gunfire shooting, suffered many casualties.
The Yan army even relied on the preemptive spirit to deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Song army.
However, on the city wall, Lei Zhanhu and Gu Yue looked directly at the situation under the city, as if they were dissatisfied.
The siege equipment of the Song army was too powerful to be completely destroyed with a simple spear, and if the other party was allowed to get closer, the Yan army would inevitably suffer a heavy blow.
Witnessing the fire prepared in the aisle, Lei Zhanhu snorted coldly to Yan Jun: "Brothers, add fire to the spear and burn the Song Army's instruments for Lao Tzu." ”
"Yes!"
The Yan army quickly moved up, placed spears, added fire, quickly ignited, and quickly shot a rain of guns.
At this moment, the spear with fire, in flight, whistled and whirred, and billowing smoke came out.
The Song army, who was shot by a spear and suffered a heavy blow, saw the situation in the sky, and shouted in surprise, and quickly moved away from the stone thrower.
For a while, the Yan army took the opportunity to shoot several waves of dense gunfire, forcing the Song army to retreat, and the Song army, which had no time to escape, suffered serious casualties, and the huge catapult encountered the fuel on the spear, and it was about to catch fire, igniting a raging flame.
In front of the Song army, Huang Shaofeng, who was in charge of the siege, had already become heavy, and he was furious.
He wants to come out on top, capture Yancheng, and take the credit.
However, the battle seems to be the exact opposite of what was imagined, and the Yan army defending the city is extremely brave.
If he hadn't gotten the news in advance and learned that most of the defenders in Yancheng were veterans and wounded and disabled soldiers, he even suspected that he was encountering the elite of the Yan army.
At this moment, seeing the continuous rain of guns falling on the city wall, and some of the burned siege equipment, he was furious, and wanted to defend and shouted: "Bai Dutong, Li Dutong, is the catapult within the firing range?" ”
"General, it's within range, but keep going, it's more powerful!" Bai Dutong said without hesitation.
Hearing this, Huang Shaofeng was furious, these two scum, didn't they notice the casualties of the Song army on all sides, and they still pushed the stone throwing tools forward.
Aren't you afraid that if you continue to delay, all the catapults will be burned by the Yan army's guns?
Huang Shaofeng jumped like thunder, pulled out his battle knife, pointed at Commander Bai and Commander Li, his face was bruised, and he shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, are you watching all the catapults being burned?" ”
When Bai Dutong and Li Dutong heard the sound, they were embarrassed in their hearts and didn't dare to say more, they ignored the casualties of the Song army in order to get close to the city wall and kill more Yan troops.
After being reprimanded by Huang Shaofeng, they turned around and hurriedly left, went straight to the vicinity of the catapult, and shouted to the Song army who was hiding under the catapult in panic: "A group of rats, the Yan army has not been killed, you are hiding and hiding, what kind of system have you become."
Bastard, fill the catapult with boulders on the spot, and bombard Yancheng to Pontus! ”
The Song army on all sides, under the blow of the Yan army's gunfire, suffered serious casualties, and developed a fear of war.
At this moment, the two of them looked serious, and Song Jun had to act quickly, hurriedly came out from under the catapult, braved the rain of guns, picked up the boulder prepared next to him, and filled it in the catapult.
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
……..
The catapult shoots, there is a buzzing sound, and the sky is full of boulders, like meteorites falling, flying forward, and some collide with the rain of guns in the air, splashing bursts of sparks, blocking the spears from moving forward. Some of them pierced through the air and blasted towards the city walls.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The flying boulder fell, smashed heavily on the city wall, the wall battlements smashed and flew, the stone oaks splashed everywhere, and the Yan army in the aisle suffered an unwarranted disaster.
At the same time, in the corridor, a large number of bed crossbows were smashed by boulders, scattered, and scattered all over the city wall.
For this reason, many Yan troops were injured, and the casualties were not small, and many Yan soldiers fell in pools of blood.
The Song army below the city wall, taking advantage of the weakening of the Yan army's momentum, quickly got up, set up a cloud ladder, shouted, and rushed to the direction of Yancheng.
I hope to take advantage of this to move forward quickly, arrive at the bottom of the wild goose city, the ladder against the wall, and quickly ascend the city.
Attacked by the Song Army's flying stones, the thunder and tiger above the city tower, Gu Yue, after being hit by a boulder in the city tower, also had to hide in the rubble and dust.
The two looked embarrassed and threatened.
Seeing the situation under the city wall, Lei Zhanhu hurriedly ran wildly, risked his life, rushed into the walkway, and shouted to the defenders of the city wall: "Don't stop, don't stop, continue to shoot spears, and destroy all the catapults of the Song army as soon as possible." ”
The siege equipment of the Song army was too fierce, and according to the current equipment of the Yan army, it was impossible to restrain it at all, so it could only be destroyed as much as possible.
At this time, the veterans of the Yan Army, who showed great combat quality, risked their lives in the case of continuous boulders in the air, acted quickly, quickly filled their spears, and used bed crossbows to shoot.
For a while, the two armies, with the weapons of both sides, came and went, risking death to attack.
Not only fighting for combat equipment, but also fighting for fighting momentum and fighting will, who is better and who will grasp the initiative on the battlefield.
This battle has directly evolved into a white-hot battle from the beginning, and both sides intend to destroy the opponent's offensive and defensive equipment at the first opportunity.
However, the Yan army did not only use the bed crossbow to attack, Gu Yue told Lei Zhanhu almost, quietly retreated behind the city wall, and told the Yan army around: "The whole army fills the repeater crossbow, takes the Song army closer, pulls the repeater together, and shoots this bold Song army!" ”
"Yes!"
With the advantage of the crossbow, the Yan army risked his life to block the Song army that wanted to attack the city.
In this war, from the sunset that lasted at noon, the battlements of the city wall were almost completely destroyed under the boulders from the catapults, and in the corridor of the city wall, all the crossbows that had been prepared before were also smashed by the boulders and fell apart on all sides.
Countless corpses of the Yan army fell inside the city wall, horizontal and vertical, blood flowing, extremely tragic.
The Song army under the city wall was also in a very bad situation, a large number of stone throwers were in flames, and the flames were raging, forcing the Song army to not get close. In front of the ground, the siege army led by Wu Dutong fell to the ground under the city in pieces under the crossbow shot of the Yan army.
Approaching the city of a hundred paces, it seemed to have become a death cave, and thousands of Song army corpses were thrown on the ground, one by one full of broken arrows, like hedgehogs crawling on the ground.
Approaching the city wall more than ten steps, the Song army has never approached, this area is extremely unfamiliar to them.
The general of the Song army, once asked the general Yue Zhenchuan to pack a ticket, and within two hours, the Song army was stationed in Yancheng, Huang Shaofeng.
At this moment, cold sweat was rolling on his forehead, and his heart was beating like thunder.
From noon, the Song army launched dozens of fierce attacks, and even the walls of Yancheng were reduced by a few points.
Who knows, not only has the city not been captured at present, but even the walls of Yancheng have not been approached, and more importantly, more than 20,000 elite Song army have suffered at least half of the casualties, or even more.
Many casualties have sharply reduced the morale of the Song army, the siege is gradually slowing down, and worse, losing the assistance of catapults, facing the top of the city wall, the Yan army has a strong rain of arrows, resulting in the siege of the Song army has a feeling that the tiger eats the sky and cannot claw.
As long as they get close to the city wall, the Yan army who is defending the city wall will immediately raise their crossbows and shoot them.
Facing the Yan army, who did not care about his life, Huang Shaofeng deeply realized that even if he fought all the Song troops under his account today, he might not be able to capture Yancheng.
More than ten miles away, in the Song army barracks, Yu Zhendong led the three-way army, and had just arrived at the barracks, and at this moment, Yue Zhenchuan was patiently receiving him. And reported to Yu Zhendong about the situation of the front-line war, at present, the army has suffered casualties and built a barracks, just to wait for Huang Shaofeng to capture Yancheng, and the army is directly stationed in Yancheng.
However, seeing the sunset, there was no good news, and Yue Zhenchuan became uneasy.
