Chapter 505: Shouchun City Broken (02)
Most of the shells either flew high into the city or fell low into the moat under the city walls. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A few shells smashed on the wall of Shouchun City, and a big pit was smashed. If you come back for a few more rounds and smash them all in the same place, I'm afraid it won't be long before the city is broken.
There were also a few shells, which happened to fall on the city wall, and the defenders who were hit were instantly killed or wounded, and several bed crossbows were destroyed.
Even if a military general is next to a cannonball, he who can guarantee immortality is already considered a fierce man.
Among them, there was a cannonball, which was supposed to go straight to the city gatehouse. Guan Yu was quick-eyed, and before the cannonball arrived, he shot it in front of the city gate tower.
However, the defenders on the ramparts were so frightened by the unprecedented blow that they almost forgot to activate the bed crossbow.
After all, the vast majority of the defenders of Shouchun City were recruits.
……
Before the defenders of Shouchun City could restore order, a second round of blows from the dragon artillery guards followed.
With the experience of the first round, the shells of the second round were reduced a lot, and there were more than 20 large craters on the city wall in an instant.
It is difficult for a cannonball to enter the same crater, but if the front city wall is smashed into a big crater, it will be difficult for Shouchun City to break the city.
With Guan Yu's experience in shooting cannonballs just now, the crossbowmen on the city wall finally had something to do. Ordinary crossbowmen can't shoot like Guan Yu, but when a large area of arrows rains down, a blind cat can always hit a dead mouse, right?
Therefore, in front of the south gate of Shouchun City, more than a dozen pieces of air are like fireworks, and they are brilliant for a while.
The defenders of Shouchun City had no intention of admiring these splendors, and neither did the Dragon Cannon guards admiring their own masterpieces. Each dragon cannon guard had accumulated ten cannonballs for today, but at this time, in less than half a pillar of incense, they were all poured on the walls of Shouchun City.
The crossbowmen on the city walls are very powerful, and the generals are also very powerful, but the intercepted cannonballs are only a few after all.
As a result, the city wall of Shouchun City lived up to expectations and opened a large gap in this case.
"Shield soldiers, dragon cannon guards, stand back!"
The lieutenant in charge of the command retreated at this time with the shield soldiers and dragon cannon guards who had completed their mission; The next step is to enter the city and clear the enemies in the city, but this is not a shield soldier carrying a tower shield, but a dragon cannon guard.
……
"Taishi Ziyi, you will lead the army and fight into the city!"
After the shield tower soldiers and dragon cannon guards retreated, Hao Meng gave an order to Tai Shici beside him.
There are still Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Shouchun City, so there must be very powerful generals to fight into the city as sword blades. Li Chou has no tricks, when he meets Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he is delivering food, Gao Shun and others have tricks, but they can't fight Guan Yunchang's second style.
Only Tai Shici, with all his strength, Guan Yu also had to retreat!
Of course, Huang Zhong can do it too. But Huang Zhong had already been sent by Hao Meng to the top of the river, once the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang escaped, Huang Zhong's nine-star alignment, there would be no problem in killing the three of them in seconds.
Tai Shi Ci received the order and turned around and came to the front of the army.
"The whole army obeys the order and follows my Tai Shi Ci into the city!"
Tai Shi Ci didn't have too many impassioned words, and directly led the army into the city along the gap.
Of course, Tai Shici only acted as a front, and Gao Shun and others also followed closely with soldiers and horses.
……
At the gap at the south gate of Shouchun City, many defenders are hurriedly filling the gap. At this time, Liu Bei seemed to feel that Shouchun City seemed to be able to be rescued.
It's just that most of the people blocked in the gap are new soldiers, and under Tai Shici's soldiers, they are basically collapsed at the first touch.
Almost without pause, tens of thousands of troops entered the city in an instant.
There are still some stubborn people in Shouchun City, most of them are Liu Bei's elite henchmen, or recruits who have been forced to a dead end to resist.
But this stubbornness was not much, and it was quickly extinguished.
In the shouts of "surrender and don't kill", the headless fly-like Jiangdong recruits in Shouchun City, as well as the recruits under Liu Bei, vied with each other to surrender.
Of course, there should be many people who hide in private houses, but this is not the time to pay attention to them.
In less than an hour, the fighting in Shouchun City stopped.
Tai Shi Ci then led his soldiers to put out fires in the city, and guarded and searched for possible assassins. After all, if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were lurking in the city and bent on assassinating Hao Meng, they might not be able to prevent it.
Li Chou released the tens of thousands of captives out of the city and resettled, and reported the results of the battle to Hao Meng.
"When our army entered the city, there was resistance and fighting at first, and then it was busy collecting prisoners and suppressing the rebellion in the city."
"In this battle, our army did not suffer many injuries, although it has not been counted, but the last general feels that the damage should be less than 10,000."
"Seventy thousand prisoners were received."
General Ziyi said that it is very likely that there are still some soldiers and horses lurking in the city, or some enemy troops have fled into civilian houses for temporary refuge. After he had searched it, he invited the lord into the city. ”
……
"Not bad!" Listening to Li Chou's report, Hao Meng bowed.
This time, although the city was not attacked by a large army, it was a large army when it entered the city, with less than 10,000 casualties, and it was still within Hao Meng's tolerance.
After all, most of the recruits who entered the city were recruits, and although they had been trained for months and qualified, they were still recruits.
With recruits against recruits, it was still a street battle in Shouchun City, in fact, Hao Meng's soldiers did not have an advantage.
If Liu Bei really dies and falls to the bottom, the damage caused by Hao's army entering the city will definitely be more than 10,000.
"What about Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?" Hao Meng asked suddenly.
Li Chou reported so many results, but he did not mention capturing or killing Liu Bei and others.
"When we entered the city, there was no trace of Liu Bei and others, but the elite soldiers under his command were all fighting to the death, and this was the bulk of our battle losses." Li Chou replied.
That's normal.
With Liu Bei's specialty, it would be strange if he could block him in Shouchun City.
"However, where did Liu Guanzhang break through from?" Hao Meng was a little puzzled.
The south gate of Shouchun City has been broken, and Liu Bei and the others naturally cannot fight their way out of the encirclement. Outside the other three city gates, Hao Meng also left many soldiers and horses to defend, in order to intercept Liu Bei, who might break through.
……
"Report!"
Hao Meng was puzzled, and suddenly a messenger shouted "report".
"Report to the general, Liu Bei led more than 1,000 people to kill from the east gate, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were the vanguard, our army couldn't resist for a while, in case they fled to the river." The messenger reported.
"Sure enough, it still made him stand out from the encirclement!"
Hao Meng had expected this a long time ago.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were the vanguards, and under the full outburst, not to mention that the 50,000 recruits outside the east gate of Shouchun City could not resist, even the fierce generals under Hao Meng, when Guan Yu and them broke out with all their strength, they easily did not dare to block their edge.
"Li Chou, immediately lead a group of soldiers and chase them by boat." Hao Meng ordered Li Chou, who had just left the city.
"Don't worry, you can follow and kill, you don't have to fight. General Ben has already asked Huang Hansheng to wait for them on the water! ”
