Chapter 711 Flying Stone (First Update)
(Recommended reading: Lin Feng decided to seize Shiyan City and completely take the treasure of Tiangong for himself, once the war carriage is erected, no one can stop the power of millions of male soldiers rolling forward.
Deliberate, make a plan, and start implementing quickly!
When the Yan army mobilized Li Lin's army to move south quickly, the allied forces inside and outside Shiyan City and the Song army were not clear about the specific situation, and they were also acting according to the set plan.
Previously, Yuan Muchun led his troops to attack Taiyan City, hoping to attack the east and west, looking for a suitable opportunity to seize it.
In order to seize Shiyan City, it will create a favorable situation.
It's a pity that the food, grass and ordnance prepared by the coalition army are in the city, which is related to the life and death of the coalition army, and it is almost the lifeblood of the coalition army.
Therefore, no matter how the generals of Wu Yue Cai treat it, whether they attach importance to the defense of Taiyue City, at least Ju Wentai and Xing Yike pay special attention to it.
Ju Wentai personally led the troops to sit in the town, stationed in Taiyue City, and with such a famous general personally guarding, Yuan Muchun's surprise attack on the city's plan to seize the city was aborted without accident.
Meng Kuo, Song Qi's feint attack also turned into a real onslaught, a few days later, it caused a lot of damage to Shiyan City, the atmosphere seemed to be gradually overwhelmed by murderous aura, Shiyan City was like purgatory, killing, death, all the time staged.
Knowing that Ju Wentai personally guarded Taiyue City, and with the help of the coalition army, Meng Kuo, Song Qi, and Yuan Muchun, there was no other good way to capture the city, so they could only continue to launch a fierce attack.
In the early winter, the cold is intense, and standing in the cold wind makes people shiver.
In the walls of Shiyan City, Zheng Jun was still wearing armor and holding cold weapons, standing in the whistling north wind.
In the past few days, the Song army has continued to launch attacks, each time more fierce, if the Zheng army does not defend around the clock, it will inevitably be attacked by the Song army.
Whining~~~
Suddenly, in the city wall, there was a loud and heavy horn sound, in the corridor of the city wall, Zheng Jun and a small number of allied troops guarding the city quickly, under the city wall, in the temporary military tents, all the troops, hearing the sound of the horn, have taken weapons and quickly went to the city wall.
They were too familiar with the sound of horns, and in the past few days, Song Jun was tired of it, and he would always wander under Shiyan City, and the attack time was longer or shorter.
It will always rely on the mechanical troops to cause a lot of casualties to the defenders of the city.
The soldiers, holding the weapons, facing the cold wind, quickly ran to the upper city wall, stood in front of the wall battlements, looked at it from a distance, there was a rolling torrent in the distance, and the momentum was far more than before, just like the Song Army Mechanical Corps, trapped in the camp, and the crossbow battalion was all concentrated.
In the city wall, Xing Yike held his weapon tightly, looked at each other from afar, and sighed secretly, the Song army is ready to forcibly seize the city, and today, I am afraid that I will face another fierce battle.
After the Song army's stone throwers bombarded for days, many places in the city wall were damaged, and the defense was seriously weakened.
Fortunately, there were more defenders in the city, which could make up for the lack caused by the destruction of the city walls.
Next to him, Hu Weiyue, the general of the Yue State, Hou Zhixiong, the general of the Wu State, and Han Yufei, the general of the Cai State, were also engrossed in looking at the Song army that was coming rapidly in the distance.
In the previous war, the three generals only sent partial generals and led a small number of troops to attack the city, and they felt that as long as there were hundreds of thousands of allied troops in the city, what if the Song army was strong, they would not help everyone.
In particular, Wu and Yue once inflicted heavy losses on the surface of the Yangtze River, causing the Song army to retreat to the north.
Therefore, several people were unwilling to fight in person, and they also had a little contempt for the Song army.
It is believed that the Song army was powerful among the northern princes, but when it encountered the southern sailors, it became a turtle with a shrunken head.
Today, they would not have climbed the city wall unless he was personally invited by Ike himself.
At this moment, seeing the tall ordnance in the distance, it looked like a moving fortress, looking very strong and fierce, Hu Weiyue, Hou Zhixiong, Han Yufei was a little panicked in his heart.
Don't dare to underestimate the enemy's carelessness, and hurriedly send people to prepare for war with the same force as Zheng Jun!
Meng Kuo led the mechanical troops as the vanguard, arrived at the foot of Shiyan City, did not stop at all, and directly excluded the troops from attacking.
The New Year is approaching, the weather is cold, people's minds are home, and there is no gain in many battles, and the Song army gradually becomes manic and slack, which is by no means a good thing for the Song army!
Although the soldiers pressed the realm and prepared to attack with all their might, because of the lessons from the past, Meng Kuo was very serious and careful.
The campaign kicked off, and the trapping camp was not directly dispatched, and the crossbow battalion used the clouds to attack the tower, and went all out to rush and kill.
The catapult was still sent to strike first, and the tactics changed slightly, and the catapult troops dodged the spears flying from the city wall during the onslaught of the allied army's bed crossbow, and risked their lives to move the catapult to a very close place to Shiyan City. But it was out of range of the coalition's arrows.
Although you are threatened by spears, you don't have to be shot by arrows!
In addition, all the stones in the forward groove were turned into burning firewood, and they were quickly thrown, even if there was a threat of bed crossbows on the city wall, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the Song army to attack.
In the early winter, the cold was pressing, and the firewood shot by the catapult made the temperature rise suddenly, especially the firewood burning in the air, which was thrown directly into Shiyan City, causing a fire in the city, and more and more igniting the Song army's enthusiasm for fighting.
The attack of the catapult troops became more and more fierce, and the three-bow crossbow troops next to them also began to return fire, striving to suppress the defenders on the city wall.
As soon as the war began, it began to fight to the death, defending and attacking, and playing a wave of high + tide.
In the sky above Shiyan Castle, spears were flying, flowing fires were moving, and the thick smoke emitted from the air made the smell of war more and more intense.
In the corridor of the city wall, Hou Zhixiong, the general of Wu State, looked at the spear in his mouth, and was extremely shocked in his heart, the Song army's offensive was so fierce, it was not clear how Xing Yike led the troops to defend it in the first place.
If the Song army and sailors were so strong, back then, Wu Guo was afraid that he would not be able to defeat the other party.
However, he has seen it with his own eyes at present, and he has also seen the power of the Song army, if the opponent's troops cross the Yangtze River, whether Wu can block the opponent's onslaught, he does not dare to report the ticket.
The fire flew quickly from the top of everyone, dragging the billowing smoke, falling on the houses behind the city walls, scattering heavily, sparks splashing everywhere, and in an instant, where the sparks fell, there would often be a slight thin smoke, and soon, the smoke was billowing out.
"Bed crossbow, bed crossbow, return fire, return fire, don't stop!" Xing Yike shuttled through the corridors of the city wall, and looked at the fire in the air, and the fire gradually burning in the city, and he became anxious.
Compared to flying stones, flowing fires often injure people, but at least they do not cause casualties, and if they do, they are rare.
Therefore, he hoped to use the bed crossbow, which was also the only weapon that the coalition army could currently inflict on the Song army, to block the Song army's troops and strive to inflict casualties on the other side.
But he had a clear mind, and the other party was ready to go all out to turn Shiyan City upside down, so that the coalition forces in the city would not be at peace.
If Xing Yike and the allied generals at the head of the city saw the steady stream of stones being transported behind the Song army, they would not be as calm as they are now.
According to Meng Kuo's plan, once the stones were gathered, the Song army would use the stone thrower to launch all the piles of rocks into a mountain, and it would be strange if they did not fill in the walls of Shiyan City.
Anyone who dares to approach the city wall is lucky to be smashed to pieces.
In the city wall, Xing Yike said to Hu Weiyue, a general from the Yue Kingdom: "General Hu, the Song army is attacking very fiercely, I hope the general will stop the Vietnamese army from withdrawing, otherwise it will cause panic in the city wall, and things will become very bad." ”
Soon after the war began, Hu Weiyue squatted and wanted to figure out, huddled under the battlements to avoid being burned by the flying fire, and when he heard Xing Yike's words, he couldn't help but look up at the flying fire that cut through the sky, held back for a long time, and asked Xing Yike: "Are your Song Zheng battles so tragic?" ”
"Miserable, the war has not yet begun, if General Hu can't adapt, there will be no way to stop the pace of the Yan Song troops going south in the future!" Xing Yike warned.
Hu Weiyue hid under the battlements, and many people such as the Yue army and the Wu army began to choose to flee, because most of them were sailors, and they had never experienced such a strong and dangerous battle to defend the city, and they were afraid of being injured by flying fire.
I also think about what we should do if something else is thrown into the groove.
Hu Weiyue glanced at Han Yufei, who was also shrinking not far away, Hou Zhixiong, swallowed his saliva forcibly, a little stunned, with the current defensive measures, he couldn't stop the Song army's offensive at all.
Few of those who dare to come forward to attack will come back alive.
Bang, Hu Weiyue didn't have time to speak, a flying stone hit the wall battlements not far from the two, the flying stones scattered, and the battlements made of huge stones were directly shaken down, rolled down, and smashed on the Vietnamese army next to them.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Hu Weiyue was directly stunned, and after a while, he hurriedly retreated to the side and said to Xing Yike: "General Xing, the Song army is ready to launch a fierce offensive, we can't bear it at all, it's really not good, let's evacuate first." ”
Xing Yike didn't have time to answer, bang, again, the flying stone concentrated on the bed crossbow next to it, the huge bed crossbow was directly shaken away, a section of the crossbar was smashed, and it hit several soldiers next to him, and he didn't know where the other party came from, and he was directly beaten to the ground.
Two of them got up and ran quickly under the city walls, apparently not yet accustomed to the brutal battlefield, and as a result, they were inevitably killed in the aisle by flying stones falling from the air. On the contrary, the two people next to them seemed to have rich combat experience, and they didn't get up, but they quickly rolled to the corner, and the air was full of flying stones, but the two of them were lucky to escape.
Flying fire turned into flying stones, and in the corridor of the city wall, a bed crossbow was smashed into pieces by falling flying stones, directly losing its attack power, and the flying shelves would hurt the soldiers guarding the city next to them from time to time.
Those flying stones that directly hit the city wall made a thumping sound, and the flying stones fell to the ground and shattered, and countless pieces of debris flew and collapsed, which also caused a lot of casualties.
Hu Weiyue looked at the formation in front of him, and then looked at the flying stones that were overwhelming in the distance, and hurriedly shrank under the corner of the wall, not daring to move.
Next to him, Hou Zhixiong and Han Yufei began to look for opportunities and prepared to retreat.
