Chapter 56: Conversion in Bloody Battle
At dawn, the Liao army was full of war meals, the horn sounded, and the Liao army was assembled.
Yelu Bodhisattva rode a high-headed horse, came to the front of the battle, slashed the horsewhip in his hand, made a crisp sound, and said loudly: "Warriors of the Great Liao: This small city of conversion has blocked the pace of the warriors of the Great Liao!" I command you to conquer and convert! Chop off the heads of the Southerners with a scimitar! Shoot an arrow through the chest of the Southerners! ”
"Cut off the heads of the Southerners!"
"Shoot through the chest of the Southerners!"
The Liao army let out a roar that shook the sky. This kind of thing, the Liao army likes to do it the most, and they don't know how many times they have done it.
"Seven cannons, scattering star cannons, prepare!"
Yelu turned around and faced the city of conversion, and gave a loud order.
Driven by the Liao army, the people of the Song Dynasty had to move stones and use them as stone throwers. Soon, the stone thrower was ready.
Riding a horse to a stone thrower, Yelu Bodhisattva looked at the stone thrower, only to see that the stone bucket was full of stones, the people of the Song Dynasty under the coercion of the Liao army, ready to make a stone thrower, as long as he gave an order, the stone thrower will be powerful.
A hundred stone throwers are powerful, for the small city of return, it is a blow to the destruction of the surname, and the bed crossbow and stone thrower in the city of return are no opponent at all.
"Wu Ji, it's going to be to see how long you can be hard-mouthed?" played tricks on Wu Ji, Yelu Bodhisattva was very unhappy, pulled out the scimitar violently, swung it hard, a beautiful knife flashed, and roared: "Fight!" ”
"Boom!"
The sound of the engine was deafening, and I saw countless stones thrown into the air, and the black pressure was overwhelming, like locusts, and swooped down on the city.
"Wu Ji, I hope you have a great life, don't smash it into a meatloaf!" Yelu Bodhisattva looked at the flying stones, and was very proud.
Countless stones smashed on the top of the city, and the ice and snow splashed, and the sound was like thunder, and the city walls were shaking, and cracks appeared in the thick ice and snow on the city walls.
Many stones smashed into the city, rolling forward, smashing deep grooves.
"What a terrible weapon!"
Looking at the scene of ice and snow splashing, it was very shocking, and Wu Ji had to be surprised. The power of the stone thrower is naturally incomparable with modern artillery fire, but in ancient wars, it is extremely powerful, and it is used to destroy the enemy's buildings and kill the enemy, which has immeasurable power.
"It's still Commander Wu's wisdom!" Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but admire: "If our people are still in the city, there must be huge casualties." ”
With such a dense concentration of stones, whoever is at the head of the city will die. It was precisely because of this that Wu Ji withdrew all the people in the city.
"It's a pity, it's a pity!" Mrs. Zheng sighed repeatedly: "If Guixin City is bigger, we have more stone throwers and bed crossbows, and Liao Gou An dares to be so rampant." ”
The city was too small to fit many stone throwers and bed crossbows, and in the face of hundreds of stone throwers, there was no chance of winning.
"It doesn't matter." Wu Ji didn't care: "No matter how many stone throwers there are, they must come in handy." As at present, no matter how many stone throwers there are, they are useless, they are all in the air, and they can't hurt any of us. ”
Yelu Bodhisattva spent a lot of effort, the stones were like rain, but they were all smashed in the air, and the hair didn't hit a single one, and the effort was in vain, and everyone couldn't help laughing: "Hehe! This is all Commander Wu's clever calculation! Otherwise, our casualties will be great. ”
In the past siege warfare, when the enemy bombarded with a stone thrower, the city was often bombarded, comparing who had more troops, who had more stones, and who had more stone throwers. Like Wu Ji, he didn't fight like this at all, and the matter of withdrawing people has not happened yet.
This is dangerous, if the Liao army takes this opportunity to climb the city, it will quickly seize the city, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Wu Ji has a thunderbolt, so he doesn't have this kind of concern.
In ancient warfare, melee combat was the most basic requirement, which required soldiers to be strong and good at fighting. Wu Ji has mastered thunderbolts, so he doesn't have such requirements, as long as he can use thunderbolts. If the Liao army dared to go to the city, no matter how many of them came, they would die without a place to bury.
The stones rained down and poured without stopping.
"When is the Liao dog going to fight?" Qi Dabao asked with some surprise.
"He can fight as long as he likes! We didn't have any casualties, so we should watch the monkeys jump in circles. Huangfu Song teased.
Indeed, there was no casualty in the Song Dynasty, and Yelu Bodhisattva was to fight if he loved to fight.
"You say, when Yelu Bodhisattva finds out that he has put so much effort into it, and we don't have a single casualty, what will he think? Will his face be bright? Mrs. Zheng suddenly became interested in teasing.
"Needless to say, he will definitely be aggrieved, and it is better to be angry with him." Huangfu Song continued to tease.
The crowd burst into laughter. Originally, the Liao army had superior strength, and it stands to reason that this was a difficult battle to defend the city, and the casualties would be very large, but I didn't expect it to be so easy, who could not be happy?
Yelu Bodhisattva was completely unaware of the city's countermeasures, and was riding on his horse, shouting, "Fight! Beat! Call me! Hit me hard! ”
His roar was like thunder, very high-pitched, very harsh, not much different from the voice of a eunuch's duck. The voice spread far away, and the stimulation was so exciting that the Liao dogs were as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were excited Mo Ming.
With such a fierce attack, where can the small city of Guixin withstand it, and when the Liao army attacks the city, the city of Guixin will inevitably be easily breached. Although the city of conversion is small, after all, it is the city of the Southern Dynasty, and there are a lot of possessions in the city, and the women of the Southern Dynasty with fine skin and tender meat are still enough for them to enjoy for a long time.
The bombardment lasted all morning. At noon, Yelu Bodhisattva asked the soldiers to feast on the war meal and prepare for the siege in the afternoon. The soldiers liked his order the most, and they had a full meal, looking at the city, ready to attack at any time, just waiting for the order of Yelu Bodhisattva.
After resting for half an hour after the meal, Yelu Bodhisattva ordered the soldiers of the Liao army to get into the goose cart and push it towards the city. The goose cart moved, and the sound was amazing, as if a giant tower was moving.
"Set up a ladder!" Yelu Bodhisattva thought to himself, after the bombardment for half a day, the city must have suffered heavy casualties, and the city can be attacked with a ladder.
So, the soldiers of the Liao army carried the ladder and rushed to the city.
"Catapult, stop!"
It was time for the stone thrower to stop, and as soon as the order of Yelu Bodhisattva was handed down, the stone thrower finally stopped being powerful.
"The warriors of Da Liao, attack the city and capture Wu Ji alive!" Yelu Bodhisattva pulled out his scimitar violently, and with a flick of his wrist, a beautiful sword flower appeared and roared. As soon as he patted the horse's back, he rushed to the city, jumped off the horse, came to a ladder, and climbed up in a hurry.
"Capture Wu Ji alive!"
Yelu Bodhisattva personally attacked the city, which greatly inspired the morale of the Liao army, and the soldiers of the Liao army were all full of confidence, and used twelve points of strength to attack the city.
Yelu Bodhisattva climbed towards the city, looked at the city, there was no movement, and felt strange: "It's strange, why is there no movement at all?" No matter how powerful the stone thrower is, it will not beat the southerners to death, and there will be a few left. The southerners broke their guts, well, this is a good thing, we have to seize the opportunity to attack it. ”
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but raise his throat and roar: "The warriors of Daliao, the southerners are frightened and dare not fight, rush up, rush forward!" ”
The Song army was notoriously timid, and the Liao army believed this, and their morale was higher, so they all rushed towards the city with the strength to eat milk. Yelu Bodhisattva was agile, took the lead in rushing to the head of the city, looked around, and saw a lot of stones, piling up the city, and smiled: "Such a fierce attack, no matter how many troops you have, you will not be enough to die." Hey, how can there be no bloodstains? ”
"That's because you stupid dog is all in the air!"
As soon as his curiosity fell, he saw a big man suddenly appear, holding a stone weighing dozens of catties in his hand, and smashed it at him. This person is Qi Dabao.
"Smashed in the air?" Yelu Bodhisattva was very surprised, how could such a ferocious bombardment smash into the air?
However, now is not the time to find out what happened, so we must run for our lives. Such a big stone is smashed, the momentum is heavy, and the wind is whirring, if it is hit, he will definitely become a meat mud.
In the midst of the crisis, Yelu Bodhisattva didn't care about anything else, his hands loosened, and he fell straight down from the ladder, smashing the soldiers behind him and the raindrops.
Yelu Bodhisattva's adaptability was very strong, and in the process of falling, he put his hands together, grabbed two soldiers, put them in front of him, and slammed them on the ground. The two soldiers were smashed into a pulp, blood flowed everywhere, and his falling force weakened a lot, so he rolled and rolled away.
As soon as he rolled away, he heard a loud "bang", and a stone appeared on his ground, and the ice and snow splashed, and there was a large crater on the ground. If he reacted a little slowly, he would be smashed into a pulp, and Rao was like this, and he was also shocked into a cold sweat.
He has been on the battlefield all his life, and he has experienced life and death, but he has never been so close to death as he is in front of him.
"Not good! Fooled! ”
Yelu Bodhisattva's reaction was not slow, and when his thoughts turned, he understood what was going on. He spent so much effort to not hurt a single Song Jun, which was so unacceptable to him, and he had the urge to vomit blood.
However, now is not the time to vomit blood, and the crisis of the Liao army must be resolved. If this crisis is to be resolved, it is necessary to stop the offensive. Yelu Bodhisattva is not the kind of person who is cowardly, on the contrary, he is still very bold, and he yells: "Kill! Kill! ”
The Liao army poured towards the city like a tide. However, they were greeted not by sharp arrows or stones. A hundred planes were thrown for a long time, and there were a lot of stones in the city, which could not be better for fighting the Liao army.
The stones, which are powerful and heavy, are smashed down against the ladder, often to harvest several or even more than a dozen Liao army surnames with a stone. Moreover, the Liao army who was stoned to death died a miserable death, either with broken tendons or broken bones, or smashed into meat patties.
"Thunderball, prepare! Goose cart, throw! ”
A loud voice came from the city, and immediately after, a cloud of sparks appeared, and flew towards the goose cart.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
One loud bang after another was heard, and one after another firelight appeared.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”
Mixed with the screams of the Liao army, the screams were miserable, as if they were terrible screams from hell.
"Boom!"
The goose carts collapsed one after another, and the ice and snow splashed, killing and injuring many Liao soldiers.
This scene appeared not long ago, and now, it has appeared again.
"Wu Ji bullied me too much!" Yelu Bodhisattva roared angrily, and a mouthful of fresh food squirted out.
