Chapter 516: Siege (4)
On August 21, the Tang army attacked the city again, this time by Geshu, two of the ten surnamed tribes? Que and Asekiel? The Mud Division is responsible for attacking in turns. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Morning, Goshu? A thousand men of the Que Department launched a fierce attack on Henglus City, Geshu? The Que Department also does not know how to attack the city, but they have the lesson of yesterday's heavy losses in the siege of the stone army, they no longer rush to the city wall in a swarm, but divide a thousand people into three echelons, let these five echelons take turns to attack the city, one echelon is only more than three hundred, each echelon is divided into ten groups, each group of three or four people, scattered, the density of people under the city is not so dense, even if the rolling wood and stones are smashed from the city wall, it will not be able to smash a few people.
First of all, the siege ladders were taken by Geshu? The barbarian soldiers of the Que Department carried and rushed to the city wall, they hung the ladder on the city wall under the city wall, this kind of siege ladder was built by the Tang Army, there is a barb at the top, once it is attached to the city wall, it is not easy to be overturned by the defenders on the city wall, and the elasticity is small, people will not climb up and down and stand unsteadily, the barbarians hold weapons in one hand, and hold the ladder crossbar in the other hand to climb up step by step, even if someone smashes stones and shoots arrows at the head of the city, it can also be limited resistance, not completely defenseless.
Goshu? The siege of the Que Department has improved a lot compared to the siege of the stone army yesterday, they have carried out the siege well, but they have improved, but the defense technology of the big food army in the city has also improved a lot, they have yesterday's experience after no longer swarming on the city wall, but was divided into several shifts by Said to defend, so that half of the people can rest after the battle and recover their strength.
Said remembered that when they attacked the enemy city in the past, the enemy army defending the city used boiling water as a means of defending the city, and when his men entered the city wall, the enemy soldiers on the city wall poured a scoop of boiling water on the bodies of his soldiers, and poured boiling water on their bodies, faces, feet and hands, and his soldiers immediately screamed and blistered everywhere, and their combat effectiveness immediately fell to the bottom.
So he got up early this morning and sent for many cauldrons from the city, and set up a stove on the city wall to boil water, and now the boiling water finally came in handy.
"Pour boiling waterβ" As Said shouted, one by one, the big food soldiers bravely scooped up a scoop of boiling water and poured it on the soldiers of Geshu under the city wall.
"Ahh
"My hand"
The boiling water penetrated into the clothes, burning the soldiers of the Goshu tribe to the point of screaming, and the big food soldiers at the head of the city saw that the soldiers of the Geshu tribe under the city wall were being burned and screaming, rolling on the ground, and they all showed cruel smiles.
When Said saw that the effect of defending the city with boiling water was good, he immediately shouted: "Okay, continue to pour boiling water and scald these damned barbarians!" Hahaha".
Soon, the Great Eaters poured a scoop of boiling water, and the soldiers of the Goshu tribe under the city wall were so hot that they did not dare to approach the city wall anymore, but under the urging of the centurion and the thousand-commander, they had to rush to the city at the risk again, and the Great Eater on the city wall continued to pour boiling water.
After all, each pot of boiling water is limited, and it takes time to boil the water, the boiling water of the Great Food Army on the city wall is quickly used up, and the stones and arrows have long been exhausted, and now they can only watch the other soldiers of the Goshu Department climb up the siege ladder, and when the soldiers of the Goshu Department climb to the top of the ladder, they will use the weapons in their hands to slash the soldiers of the Goshu Department, but the soldiers of the Goshu Department obviously will not wait to be cut, they fiercely hold their weapons and jump on the city wall to slash and kill each other with the Great Food Army, and the soldiers of the Goshu Department finally attacked the city.
Zhao Ziliang, who was on the handsome platform, saw that his siege troops had finally attacked the mountain wall, and said loudly: "Okay, finally kill on the city wall, Geshu Mountain, order them to gain a firm foothold on the city wall!" Plus, General Ben will give you another siege vehicle and let your men use it to break through the gates! β
"Yes, General!" Ge Shushan agreed and immediately went to arrange it.
The siege vehicle was covered with iron sheets, and there were eight wheels underneath, and a thick ram was in it, and the soldiers hid in the siege and pushed and rushed to the city gate, and the big food soldiers on the city gate tower saw such an iron monster rushing towards the city gate, and they all shouted and threw the stones on their hands, and some people kept throwing arrows at the siege vehicle, and some people poured fire oil on it and dropped torches, but unfortunately, no matter what means, it was ineffective against the siege vehicle, and the stones smashed on it only smashed some potholes, The arrows only clanged when they hit it, and the oil poured on it did not burn at all.
"Boom", the city gate shook, shaking violently, this scared Said, he knew that it must be the iron monster hitting the city gate, this iron monster is so strong, it actually hit the thick city gate shaking, if you keep letting it knock down, the city gate is afraid that it will soon be knocked down, he immediately shouted: "Quick, you go down and seal the city gate, hurry up!" β
Said originally wanted to keep the city gate for other use, if the Tang army's siege equipment was too powerful, he ordered his subordinates to lead the troops out of the city to destroy the Tang army's siege equipment, but looking at the current situation, I am afraid that it will not work, this city gate must be blocked, otherwise once the Tang army crashes open the city gate and kills in, his soldiers will not be able to stop the Tang army's tens of thousands of horses and horses.
Under the organization of Said's generals, dozens of soldiers of the Great Food Army brought in timber to hold the city gate from the hole in the city gate, and the siege car could not hit it after hitting it more than a dozen times in a row.
At this time, Saeed on the city wall organized a lot of soldiers and climbed the city wall of the Geshu soldiers to fight for the bloody battle of the city wall, the city wall was full of shouts and killings, pieces of knife light flashed, one by one soldiers fell, stumps and broken arms everywhere, scattered weapons and arrows can be seen everywhere, blood stained the ground of the city wall.
The soldiers of the Geshu tribe who climbed the city wall were met with strong resistance, and Saeed organized a large number of large food troops to drive the soldiers of the god Shu tribe off the city wall step by step, and the soldiers of the Geshu tribe who had no time to escape had to jump off the city wall and fell half to death, and the soldiers in the siege vehicle under the city gate saw that the soldiers who had climbed the city head were driven down and fled back, and they could only push the siege vehicle to retreat.
The leaders of the ten tribes who could see clearly on the handsome platform couldn't help but feel sorry when they saw this situation, "Alas, I can't climb the city wall, why was I driven down by the big cannibals again!" It's a pity, it's a pity, if you have to climb the city wall again, I'm afraid you will have to die a lot! β
Zhao Ziliang's face was a little ugly, he turned his head to look at Geshushan and said angrily: "Leader of Geshushan, there are orders for attacking and retreating, without the order of this general, your department will withdraw without authorization, what should you be guilty of?" β
Ge Shushan trembled, he was scolded by Zhao Ziliang so face-to-face that his subordinates did not comply with the rules and retreated without authorization, and there was no place to put his old face, he was a person who regarded reputation and face as his life, and he was counted down like this in front of him, where could he stand it? His blood rushed to the top of his head, gritted his teeth and stood up and bowed: "General, please give me another chance, this time I will personally lead people to attack the city, and if you break through Henglus City, you will live, otherwise you will die!" β
The first wave of attacking troops fled back, and Ge Shushan couldn't send them out again, so he could only take the second wave of men and horses to prepare to continue the siege, and first said to his daughter Ge Shu Luoyan: "Daughter, you are ready with the third wave of men and horses, and you can be your father at any time!" This time, we will take the city and open the gates to enter the city! β
Geshu Luoyan is the only remaining daughter of Geshu Mountain, his sons died early, and only gave birth to such a daughter at the age of forty, raised as a boy since childhood, so this Geshu Luoyan's personality is as fierce as a man, she is more than one meter seven tall, well-proportioned, concave and convex, exuding a compelling heroic spirit all over her body, she is really heroic, and she is by no means as weak as other women.
She hurriedly said: "Father Khan, you are old, let your daughter take the lead in this round!" My daughter promises you that this time you will attack the city, drive down all the cannibals, and then open the city gates, and we will fight into the city together! β
Ge Shushan shook his head and said: "No, my father has asked the general to personally lead the troops to attack, and you stay to accept your father!" That's it! β
Geshu Luoyan still wanted to fight, but was stopped by Geshushan, only to see Geshushan walk up to Zhao Ziliang and salute: "General, when our troops attack the city, please also ask the general to send someone to suppress the enemy army at the head of the city with crossbow arrows in the distance and cover for our department!" β
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, and beckoned to Zheng San, who was standing not far away, Zheng San came over and saluted: "General!" β
Zhao Ziliang asked: "How many planes have been built by our army?" β
Zheng Sanyu reported: "In the past few days, craftsmen have been building day and night, and 20 have been built!" β
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Very good, in this way, you allocate six planes to the leader of Geshu Mountain, and send someone to teach them to use it!" β
Zheng San promised: "No! β
Ge Shushan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly saluted Zhao Ziliang: "Thank you general, thank you general!" With the help of Jing Yan to attack the city, our army will definitely be able to climb to the top of the city and kill the defenders in one fell swoop! β
The use of the well is not complicated, only a few soldiers need to push forward to the city wall below, and the archers on the well are constantly firing arrows at the defenders of the city to suppress them, so that they can cover the friendly troops on the ladder and if necessary, they can also get close to the wall for a string battle.
Geshushan's men and horses quickly figured out how to use the well, and when all the horses were ready, Geshushan pulled out his scimitar and pointed forward: "Sons, follow me to kill the head of the city and behead the enemy general!" Those who are the first to climb the city will be rewarded with thousands of cattle and sheep, 100 gold, 10 Meiji, and the official will be promoted to the next level! After killing the enemy's general, Ben Khan gave his daughter Geshu Luoyan to him, and after Ben Khan's death, he succeeded Ben Khan as Geshu? Khan of the Que Tribe! β
"Whoa" Geshu? The soldiers of the Que Department let out a roar one after another, and under such a heavy reward, no one was not moved, not to mention those gold, silver, cattle, sheep and women, just one brother Shu Luoyan, which was enough for the corners of these cattle to salivate.
"Kill-" Ge Shushan rushed out with a scimitar, and hundreds of people behind him also rushed towards the city wall with weapons and ladders, and some soldiers behind them pushed the well and moved forward quickly. (To be continued.) )
