Chapter 59 Breaking the City
Meng San got the order, led his troops to push the crash car, crossed the Hao Bridge, and arrived outside the city gate, the sergeants under his command were the most brave and not afraid of death, mastered the rhythm, pushed the logs, and hit the city gate one by one.
At the head of the city gate, a group of Liang soldiers appeared, tilted their basins, poured a lot of liquid, and fell on the sergeants of the Hundred Battles Army, very slippery, it was tung oil!
Meng San realized that it was not good, and hurriedly increased the shield protection to protect the sergeants under his command. At this time, several Liang archers came out of the city, holding rockets, and shot down in one go, the rockets were stained with oil, and they burned all at once, and the sergeants with tung oil on their bodies immediately became fire men, howling and rolling on the ground.
The car was wrapped in water-soaked cowhide, and he was not afraid of burning for a while, but people couldn't stand it, and they were so anxious for a while that Meng San paused to let the archers fight back and suppress the city.
The figure of the burning sergeant fell in Li Congjing's eyes, making him feel a pain in his flesh, and he immediately shouted: "Bring hay and firewood, let Meng San burn the city gate with fire!" ”
Since the other party wants to use fire, simply let him burn it happily!
Firewood and grass were dragged out of the camp, brought by a group of cavalry, rushed to the city gate, and threw it to Meng San. The sergeants of the Mengsan Department ran over to pick up the firewood and grass, piled it in front of the city gate, lit the fire, and the people retreated, and the dry firewood and grass burned instantly.
Meng San smiled, quite proud. However, from time to time, water flowed out of several holes on both sides of the city gate, and the firewood and grass that had just been burned were instantly extinguished, and Meng Sanzhi scolded his mother.
Li Congjing snorted coldly and asked the herald to give Meng San another order: "Don't stop, keep burning, how much water can he hide in his hole, and can he use it to extinguish the fire?" When it's gone, see how he goes! ”
On both sides of the city gate, the battle for the city wall is close to white-hot.
The archers under Wu Gou left the city head more than a dozen paces, and outside the attack range of the thunder stone rolling wood, they stood up, regardless of letting go of the defense, lined up in three rows, and the iron arrows poured out in waves, taking turns to suppress the city head.
One group of archers ran out of soreness, and the next batch was replaced, and the rain of arrows did not stop for a moment. The archers at the head of the city could not effectively fight back, and after a few rounds of fire, the bow was not moved, and when the Liang army came up and fired a volley, there would be a capture.
It's just that in this way, the bow and arrow consumption is very large, and from time to time, a flag official sent a message to Li Congjing to know: Wu Hook asked for more arrows!
"This ...... This is really a loser, if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are! The corners of Wei Dao's mouth trembled, he, the secretary of the Hundred Battles Army, was in charge of the internal affairs of the Hundred Battles Army, and these armor soldiers were all made by him, and he was distressed when he saw Wu Hook's way of playing without money.
Li Congjing was amused by him, "Didn't you say before, Wu Gou is a wise general?" I saw that he was playing very smart! ”
"......" three black lines appeared on Wei Dao's forehead.
Sending the arrow to Wu Hook to the sergeant, Li Congjing's gaze fell back to the battlefield.
Wu Gou fought smartly, and the battle went quite smoothly, and the sergeants on several ladders had a tendency to climb up.
Shi Congda's side, as soon as he saw that Wu Hook was about to go to the wall, he immediately stepped up his pace, he put away his bow and arrows, waved his arms left and right to greet him, bent down, lifted an object from the nest car, raised it above his head, but it was a crosslog, threw it on the city wall, and immediately smashed into two Liang soldiers, beside him, and several other nest cars, many strong men in the hundred battle armies, all lifted the stone crossbar and threw it to the city!
This guy is going to make the offense and defense easy to the end.
After several rounds of smashing, many Liang troops on the head of the city suffered heavy losses, were killed and injured a lot, and suddenly there was a short blank, immediately, the wooden board was adjusted down, and the horizontal board stretched out, and it was necessary to lean on the head of the city.
Shi Congda led the people, behind the plank, and was ready to go.
At this time, the general of the Liang army who had dealt with Ding Mao at the head of the city rushed over again, and with a wave of his hand, a group of Liang troops rushed to the front of each nest car, using the method they had used before, desperately blocking the wooden planks from being erected on the city.
Where was Shi Congda willing to give up, commanding the archers to suppress the Liang army, where the iron arrows flew, and suddenly the Liang army was planted by arrows.
The general of the Liang army was very brave, commanded the archers of the Liang army to fight back, and he also took out the bow and arrow, fired three arrows in a row, and shot three shots and three hits, which immediately blocked Shi Congda's offensive here.
Li Congjing saw all this clearly, and gave Ding Mao an order: "Lead your troops to participate in the battle, the main task is to shoot those well-commanded and eye-catching Liang generals at the head of the city with bows and arrows!" ”
Ding Mao took the order and left. Since then, the infantry of the five hundred battle armies has been commanded, and only one commander has not yet participated in the battle.
After Ding Mao went up, he divided it into five parts, took the capital as a unit, evenly arranged everywhere, held bows and arrows, and faced the head of the city, but the generals of the Liang army came up and shot it in a volley. Under the pressure of Hehewei, after a short time, three or four Liang generals were taken care of, their bodies were full of sharp arrows, and they only had half a life left if they didn't die.
The thin-scale armor general who blocked Shi Congda, relying on his thick armor, iron arrows could not penetrate the armor into the flesh and bones, and his whole body became a hedgehog, he was not afraid, and he still fought to the death, which surprised Li Congjing.
In the midst of the fierce battle, casualties continued to mount, and time passed quietly.
In the two caves of hiding soldiers at the foot of the city, two more Liang armies were killed. It is estimated that the casualties of the Liang army at the head of the city are not small, these Liang troops, everyone is wrapped in several layers of iron armor, armed with heavy weapons such as battle axes and hammers, and the brute bull also seems to have entered the army of a hundred battles, regardless of the retreat, regardless of the defense, only to bury their heads forward, wielding weapons and slashing. Although there were not many people, only about 20 people in each group, no one could stop them wherever they went, and the chaos caused was greater than before.
These Liang soldiers killed by a ladder, and a few of them wielded heavy battle axes and chopped down, chopping the ladder into pieces, sending sawdust flying. One of them immediately raised his head and laughed, swearing in his mouth, probably saying something insulting, contemptuous, and intimidating to the Hundred Battles Army.
This Liang army can be called a miracle soldier, causing a lot of chaos in killing, and at this time, it is also extremely brilliant for the morale of the Liang army.
When Li Congjing saw this, he admired the ability of the Huaizhou guards.
But admiration is admiration, but Li Congjing must win this battle.
"Jing has a heavy responsibility!" Li Congjing turned around and looked at the last commander of the infantry army downstairs, "I order you to go into battle to help in the battle, use pikemen, surround the Liang army, and use spears to destroy these two Liang armies!" ”
"Order!" Jing Ren roared heavily, and the leader came out of battle.
Jing has a heavy responsibility, is upright and resolute, and acts with the taste of taking the road. In the Hundred Battles Army, a mixed army that has only been enlisted for half a year, most of the positions of commander and envoy are held by the previous more than 100 Cong Ma Zhi.
"At this point in the war, the Huaizhou Liang army has exhausted its strength, and there is no trick to come up with." Wei Dao looked at the stalemate battlefield and said with confidence.
Li Congjing watched intently and did not comment.
After Jing Renzhong led his troops to cross the Hao Bridge, they were divided into two groups, each of which pounced on a group of Liang soldiers who died. In the process of rushing, his subordinates shouted, and the hundred battle armies around the two Liang armies retreated, and they filled the position. Jing Renzhong's department, in accordance with Li Congjing's order, took out his spear, and after entering the formation, he was not in a hurry to attack, but ran around, with three layers inside and outside, forming a three-circle formation.
The Liang army in the circle tried to break through, but they were all attacked by three pikemen, three ways upper, middle and lower, against a Liang army, stabbing the heel, belly, eye, and throat three positions or killing or forcing back.
The three circles were formed, shouting in unison, and the spears were clenched, aiming at the dead soldiers of the Liang army in the circle.
With an order, the soldiers in the inner circle stepped out in one step, in a half-kneeling posture, and the spear stabbed straight into his stomach!
The dead soldiers of the Liang army desperately wielded tomahawks and sledgehammers, making a dying struggle, while the soldiers of the middle circle followed closely and stepped out, shouting in unison, bowing down, and the spear hit their chests.
The dense two circles of sergeants roared and rushed forward, squeezing the Liang army together. Liang Jun's belly and chest were restrained, and they were already unable to move because of their heavy armor, even if they struggled, it was useless and they couldn't move.
The outer circle of the hundred battle army, and finally rushed forward, and the spear stabbed out suddenly against the only flaw in Liang Jun's body, the throat.
One hundred and ten spears, compared to more than twenty throats, regardless of whether they occupy positions with each other, penetrate the body!
The more than 20 Liang soldiers who were cut by one or more long * throats were squeezed to death next to each other, and the sergeants of the Hundred Battles Army, who were half-kneeling, bowing, and straight-up, were on them. Time stopped briefly at this moment, at this scene.
The spear was drawn, and the dead soldiers of the Liang army fell one after another, and the corpses were crowded together, truly becoming dead people.
On the building car, Li Congjing pulled out a horizontal knife, "Where is the trapper?" ”
Under the car, Zhang Xiaowu and other 200 people shouted in response: "Here!" ”
The horizontal knife pointed to the Huaizhou city wall, and Li Congjing roared two words from between his teeth: "Break the city!" ”
"Break the city!" Two hundred trapped, swarming out!
Zhang Xiaowu and others went to several ladders. Around the ladder, except for the sergeant who stabilized the ladder, the rest retreated. Thousands of soldiers, marching under the city wall, facing the city, draw bows and arrows.
"Arrows!"
"Arrows!"
"Arrows!"
"Put!" At the sound of an order, the arrows rained down like locusts and flew to the city!
"Go to the walls!" Two hundred trapped soldiers, with a loud roar, climbed the ladder, did not avoid the lightning stone and rolling wood, regardless of the iron arrows, like an ape, with both hands and feet, and went straight to the city in his eyes!
"Knock, knock, knock......" The war drums shook like thunder. On the building car, Li Congjing picked up the drumstick and hit it the drum surface!
More than a dozen drums, following the rhythm of Li Congjing, combined with Li Congjing's drums, roared.
The drums grew heavier and heavier.
The sound of the drum is like the sound of footsteps, and the sound of footsteps is one; The sound of drums is like rain, and the sound of arrows is one.
The Liang army at the head of the city fought back in a hurry, desperately blocking the trapped soldiers from going to the city.
The trapping soldiers were unstoppable, one died, two died, and two died, and four died.
A trapped-man's hand climbed up to the top of the city, and his body crossed the female wall and landed on the road at the head of the city!
Trap the soldiers, take the city!
"Kill!" The trap soldiers who took the lead in climbing the head of the city, under the leadership of Zhang Xiaowu, entered the Liang army group in the city!
Wu Gou, Jing Renzhong and Wu hundreds of soldiers followed behind the trap soldiers and climbed the city wall.
On the nest car, the wooden plank landed steadily on the women's wall, Shi Congda and Ding Mao jumped off the wooden plank and led the team to raise their knives to kill.
"Boom", there was a sound at the city gate, the fire had burned through the city gate, and Meng San entered the urn city!
"Cavalry, out!" Li Congjing got off the stairs car, got on the war horse, led the army of a hundred battles, and rushed into the city gate!
A pitched battle. At noon, the city of Huaizhou was broken!
