Chapter 111: The Battle of Jeju (2)
Shi Jin gave an order, and the drum rumbled.
The Battle of Jeju begins!
The first to attack was the new catapult of Liangshan, which was more than 300 steps away from the city wall, and more than 50 catapults were laid out.
The hard stones were sent into the sky by wooden poles, and the hard stones fell from the sky and smashed into the city.
When Uncle Zhang saw Liang Shanjun's catapult pushed out, he shouted loudly: "Dodge, hide in the cave!" ”
War urges progress!
In this world, you are improving, others will also be improving, it is impossible to watch being beaten, but not thinking about defense or counterattack.
The lethality of Yangsan's new catapult has become famous after several wars.
In order to deal with the new type of catapult in Liangshan, the imperial court sent a fine work and spent a lot of money to buy some gunners of the Liangshan Firearms Battalion, and soon understood the principle of this catapult.
This new type of catapult is not something difficult to imitate, and many craftsmen and blacksmiths in the imperial court are developing imitations of new types of catapults.
Although Jeju has not yet arranged a new catapult, Jang Shuye has come up with a lot of defensive measures.
Uncle Zhang ordered people to build a lot of hidden soldier caves in the city wall early on, and when the cannon stones of Liangshan smashed over, many Song soldiers hid in the hidden soldier caves.
Benefiting from the protection of the city wall, although the stones weigh hundreds of pounds, they are not capable of smashing across the city wall. The falling boulders smashed the stone walls of the city wall, but they could not hurt the soldiers in the cave.
When Uncle Zhang built the cave at night, he knew that although he could avoid falling rocks, it was equivalent to giving up the city wall to the Liangshan army.
In order to occupy the advantage of the city wall, Zhang Shuye placed some Song soldiers on the head of the city. When they attacked by catapults, they hid behind the female wall, their eyes firmly fixed on the movement of the Liangshan army outside the city.
Although these Song soldiers hunched their waists and hid behind the female wall, they could dodge some boulders. However, some soldiers were not able to avoid the heavy rocks and were stoned to death.
Looking at the officers and soldiers who were stoned to death, Uncle Zhang only gritted his teeth with hatred, but unfortunately he couldn't help it, it was not for nothing that the court had to deal with this catapult.
It's like the Eight Ox Crossbow, but unfortunately the imperial court is very strict against the generals, and it is also very precautionary against the localities, except for resisting several cities in the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms, as well as Tokyo, other places cannot be equipped with the Eight Ox Crossbows at all.
Looking at the frightened eyes of the officers and soldiers, Zhang Shuye, who was hiding in the hiding cave, shouted loudly: "Kill those who flee in battle!" Those who died in battle were raised by the imperial court at the expense of their families. Everyone knows who my Uncle Zhang is, and I will do it! ”
Hearing the assurances of the prefect Zhang Shuye, and thinking that Zhang Shuye usually manages the troops very strictly, those officers and soldiers hiding on the wall do not dare to run away even if they are afraid.
I can only grit my teeth and keep an eye on the heavy stones in the sky, hoping not to hit myself, hoping to dodge.
The catapult smashed for nearly half an hour, and almost all the female walls on the city wall were destroyed, and most of them collapsed with the arrow tower.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers on the city were empty, Shi Jin immediately waved his hand and the drums sounded.
In addition to the Sixth Corps and the Chinese Army, the other three corps immediately raised their shields in front of their heads under the leadership of many leaders, and then rushed towards the city wall in the form of stragglers.
Some of the soldiers rushed forward with ladders, and some of the sword and shield soldiers escorted the archers with shields.
The accuracy of this catapult is so bad that if you are not careful, you will accidentally injure your own family. Seeing that the soldiers of the Liangshan Army were about to rush to the city, Shi Jin ordered the catapult to stop throwing.
On the city wall, those officers and soldiers who risked their lives to stay at the head of the city, saw that Liangshan was about to rush to the city, and hurriedly shouted: "The thieves are rushing over!" ”
When Jeju Governor Zhang Shuye heard this, he hurriedly shouted to the Song soldiers hiding in the cave to go to the city.
When the Song soldiers just ran to the head of the city, the bow battalion led by Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun immediately began to suppress. Hua Rong waved his hand, "Release the arrow." ”
Zhang Gong ...... Put! Several of the heads of the bow battalion shouted in a stretched tone.
Under the rebuke of the capital, the archers bent their bows and arrows, and one after another sharp arrows were thrown at the officers and soldiers at the head of the city.
The drums sounded, the order was issued, the bow and arrows were shot, and in such a rhythm, in a short period of time, five or six rounds of arrows had been fired!
The sharp arrow suddenly crossed an arc like a torrential rain with a scream of death, and rushed down from the sky, and with the powerful inertia of falling from a high altitude, the sharp arrow easily shot through the Song soldiers at the head of the city.
Many Song soldiers who had just run to the head of the city suddenly let out a terrible scream like dumplings and fell from the city.
On the city wall, Jeju Governor Jang Shuye saw it and shouted loudly, "Shoot the arrows, quickly release the arrows to counterattack them!" ”
When the archers among the officers and soldiers heard the order, they hurriedly drew their bowstrings, and shot sharp arrows from the top of the wall towards the bow and arrow camp in Liangshan.
Seeing that the archers of the Song army at the head of the city began to counterattack, the archers of the Liangshan army, under the cover of shield soldiers, returned fire at the archers at the head of the city.
The archers of the Song army occupied the terrain, and the bows and arrows of the Liangshan army were well-trained, and for a while, the two sides could not wipe out each other in a short time, so they could only grit their teeth and insist to see who could not support it first.
With the support of archers, the rain of arrows of the Liangshan saber and shield soldiers was much less.
The Liangshan sergeant took the opportunity to run under the city wall, and the ladder he was carrying was lowered and put on the city wall.
Under the leadership of the small leader and leader, the Liangshan army began to climb the rock to grab the head of the city.
Before he was halfway up, the stones on the top of the city fell down. Luckily, the head blossomed and died on the spot. Unfortunately, he broke his hands and feet, and let out a dying wail under the city wall, which made people listen to the creepy.
There was still a time when he was about to climb to the city wall, and was pushed away by the ladder with bamboo pipes and iron guns by the Song army. The soldiers on the ladder screamed and fell to the ground into patties.
Seeing this cruel scene, more than a dozen recruits turned around and fled because they couldn't stand the bloody scene.
The recruits had barely taken a few steps to escape before they were killed on the spot by the law enforcement officers behind the palace.
The law enforcement soldier carried the head of the deserter and shouted loudly in front of the battle, "Those who retreat from the battle, behead!" ”
The freshly beheaded head was dripping with blood, and in the face of this bloody lesson, some recruits of the Liangshan Army were deeply impressed by the harsh military law of the Liangshan Army. They saw that retreating was death, and that there was still a chance to live forward, so they could only endure and rush forward.
Looking at the tragic death of the soldiers of the Liangshan Army, Shi Jin's face was still indifferent, but his heart was heart-wrenching.
Shi Jin bit his lip stubbornly, and the horse rope he was pulling in his left hand had already made several blood marks because he was too hard.
Shi Jin endured it and did not order Mingjin to retreat.
Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!
Because mercy is never needed on the battlefield, because mercy only makes the casualties worse. Some soldiers sacrificed in order to allow more soldiers to survive, so that they could achieve ultimate victory. And there is only one way to keep more people alive, defeat the enemy and win.
No matter how unbearable he was, Shi Jin looked at the battlefield. He is the manager, he needs to be calm to observe the situation and find the enemy's flaws.
In the past, the capture of Qingzhou City relied on sneak attacks, and the casualties were not large.
This is a real siege.
Since its death, the siege has been the hardest and deadliest of the city. The army is plotting, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is to attack the city, and the law of attacking the city is a last resort.
If there was a powerful artillery, Shi Jin would definitely not use the ant-attached siege method to directly knock down the city wall.
Unfortunately not.
The Yangsan army attacked Jeju City, and the imperial court would definitely not sit idly by. Jeju must be taken before reinforcements arrive, otherwise it will be even more difficult to conquer Jeju once the reinforcements arrive.
Under the city wall, the soldiers of the Liangshan Army are densely packed with ants to enter the city, and behind them are groups of soldiers ready to replenish at any time, and the big stones, boiling oil, and gold juice on the city wall are raining down. From time to time, the soldiers of the Liangshan Army screamed and fell to their deaths from the city and from the ladder, and in the blink of an eye, they were drowned by the soldiers behind.
Knock knock, dozens of strong men pushing a huge rushing car were slamming into the city gate, and the car didn't hit it.
"Boom!"
The wooden hammer slammed into the gate like a huge hammer, making a deafening noise, and the gate shook with the city walls.
On both sides of the city gate, two or three rushing cars that had been burned by the Song army defending the city were being pushed aside by the Liangshan army.
Under the fierce offensive of the Yangsan army, Jeju City was in danger like a boat in the sea for a while, and it would be overturned by the huge waves of the Yangsan army at any time. ()
