Chapter 559: Calm and unhurried
"Fight! War! War! ”
Yang Lihua's voice fell, and a tsunami-like roar suddenly sounded in the sky above Jinyang City, the sound was endless, and one was louder than the other, as if it wanted to tear the sky apart. At the same time, a terrifying and tragic aura rose from the city, eclipsing the warm sunshine, and Gao Xiang's eardrums were "buzzing" from this thunderous roar, and his face became very solemn.
Gao Xiang, who has lived in the north for a long time and often fights with the Hu people, is far from being able to be compared with Gao Wei and the likes of Gao Wei, but from the roar of the defenders in the city, he can feel that this is a lion in a hundred battles, with a strong and fierce spirit that ordinary armies do not have, as well as the decisive and indomitable spirit.
Thinking of this, Gao Xiang couldn't help but feel remorseful, and secretly said that he acted too recklessly, only thinking that Gao Changgong was seriously injured, and the dragons in the city had no leader and had a chance to take advantage of it, but he didn't expect the army in the city to be so strong, coupled with the thick walls of Jinyang City, it was really a bit taken for granted to break through the city with a mere 50,000 troops.
It's just that now the momentum is like a tiger, even if Gao Xiang doesn't fight, he can't help it, otherwise this retreat will not only be morally passive, but will also greatly affect morale, and it may be even more difficult to bring troops in the future.
This thought was only completed in an instant, and Gao Xiang, who had made up his mind, quickly regained his composure. When the roar of the head of Jinyang City gradually fell, Gao Yu solemnly pulled out the sword at his waist slowly, raised it high above his head, looked at the people in the city with a serious face, and shouted in a deep voice:
"Listen to the people in the city, I am the king of Jin, Gao Xiang, and now I have come to kill the traitor Gao Yanzong by the holy decree of my emperor, but the king of Wu Gao Changgong is arrogant, and he is disrespectful to the will, and he should be punished for the crime of rebellion, and he will be deceived by others, although there is a crime of not noticing, but as long as you can make meritorious service for the crime, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and fight the rebel thief with the king, the emperor will be magnanimous, otherwise he will be punished as an accomplice and exterminate the nine clans!"
"The whole army obeys the order! Gao Yu roared angrily, and there was a momentum and majesty that ordinary people would not dare to despise.
"In!"
The 50,000 Jin troops replied in unison, and the earth-shattering sound made people's blood boil and fall into an inexplicable frenzy, which also pushed the atmosphere of the war to the top in an instant.
Gao Yu turned his horse's head, glanced at the 50,000 troops in front of him with a majestic look, and then raised his voice and said: "Gao Yanzong and Gao Changgong disregard the holy order, support the army and respect themselves, and plot rebellion, the crime is unforgivable. ”
"Yes! Willing! Kill the rebels and be loyal to our emperor! ”
"Kill the rebels and be loyal to my emperor!!"
At this moment, the pent-up resentment in the heart of the Jin army suddenly erupted, although the murderous aura on his body was still much worse than that of the Jinyang defenders, but in terms of prestige alone, he could barely fight against it.
Looking at the black pressure and stretching for several miles, the morale of the army raising his arms and shouting became stronger and stronger, Gao Yu was overjoyed, the expression on his face was a little more convinced and firm, and his eyes were even more shining.
When the morale of the whole army climbed to the peak, Gao Yu pressed his arms slightly, and when all the sounds stopped and everyone's eyes fell on him, he suddenly turned around and waved his sword, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the handsome banner at the head of Jinyang City, and roared loudly: "The whole army will attack, level Jinyang, and if there is any obstruction, there will be no forgiveness!" ”
"Swing down Jinyang, kill!"
"Kill !!"
The 50,000 Jin army suddenly had red eyes, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, or a bull in estrus, roaring excitedly, howling, waving their blades and rushing towards Jinyang City. Fifty thousand armor soldiers waved their flags, almost wanting to cover the sky, their clothes and armor were bright red, more like torrents, and the blue sky formed a sharp contrast.
The Great War ended.
Yang Lihua stared coldly at Zhou Jun who was surging like locusts outside the city, her delicate face did not show the slightest panic, and her seductive red lips were gently pursed, adding a bit of heroism. Born in the family of the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Lihua's knowledge is naturally far more incomparable, not to mention that she has experienced a lot of wars in the past few years, so she is so calm and unhurried at this time.
"Catapult ready!"
"Bed crossbow ready!"
"Archer, prepare for the projectile!"
1,000,000,900,800...... Seeing that the three thousand sword and shield men like evil wolves were under the cover of two thousand archers, carrying ladders, ramming vehicles and other siege equipment into the firing range, Yang Lihua still had no intention of fighting back, and the deputy general beside her couldn't help but say anxiously: "Deputy marshal, the enemy has entered the firing range!" ”
"Rest easy!" Yang Lihua waved her hand lightly, but a relaxed smile appeared on her face.
The adjutant general frowned and stopped talking, he was an old man of the Huaizhou Army, and he was also familiar with Yang Lihua. Although she is far from having the almost blind worship and trust of the happy father and son, he also knows that this strong woman is unusual, not to mention that the military discipline under the command of the happy father and son is strict, and the deputy general is still meticulous in the implementation of Yang Lihua's orders, even though he is confused and worried, and he is still meticulous in the implementation of Yang Lihua's orders.
Finally, three-quarters of the 5,000 Jin troops entered the firing range, and Yang Lihua suddenly shouted: "Catapult, release!" ”
"Bed crossbow, put!"
"Archers, mainly to destroy the enemy's siege equipment, shoot freely!"
"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”
In the dense sound of machine springs, a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, and nearly a hundred black lightning bolts suddenly tore through the air on the head of the city, crashing into the Jin army of five thousand charges with unparalleled momentum.
"What's that? Bed crossbow! After giving the order to attack, Gao Yu stood on a temporary high platform, paying close attention to the changes in the battle situation, and when he saw the nearly 100 black shadows in the city, he was stunned at first, and then suddenly changed color, and exclaimed in surprise.
Just when Gao Yu was frightened, nearly a hundred black shadows that flew out of the city also swept over a distance of more than 600 meters, and fiercely shot into the second half of the 5,000 Jin army.
Li Ergou held the bow and arrow in his hand tightly, staring at the handsome flag fluttering at the head of Jinyang City, his heart was both excited and frightened, excited because he hoped to kill the enemy general, make meritorious contributions, and let the old lady in the family enjoy the blessings from now on, and the panic was worried that he would die unfortunately.
At this moment, Li Ergou suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound above his head, and when he looked up, he felt that his eyes were dark, and then he felt a huge force hit his chest, causing him to fall backwards involuntarily. It wasn't until he fell to the ground that Li Ergou felt a sharp pain in his chest, which made him want to scream, but Li Ergou suddenly felt that the strength in his body dissipated like a tide, and he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth, and the corner of his eye saw that there was a hole the size of a fist in his chest, and the warm blood was gurgling like a spring.
"Dead? I'm just dead? Li Ergou looked stunned, before he lost his last consciousness, there was still this question in his mind, and he finally heard the miserable cries of his comrades-in-arms around him, and faintly saw seven or eight comrades-in-arms being pierced together by a spear, and the curtain was very miserable and hideous.
Time seemed to have stood still at this moment, and neither the defenders of the city nor the Jin army outside the city were shocked by the power of the crossbow. It was only a hundred crossbow arrows, and the casualties caused were only five or six hundred, but the scene was extremely tragic, even if it was hundreds of meters away, Gao Yu seemed to be able to feel the killing intent coming from it, making his hair stand on end.
The crossbow arrows of the bed crossbow are more like spears than arrows, more than two meters long, as thick as eggs, and the arrows are made of fine iron, which is extremely sharp.
Just now, under the crossbow arrows of the bed crossbow, the body of the Jin army was as fragile as paper, ruthlessly torn apart by them, and many people were pierced by the crossbow arrows, connected together, like mutton skewers, dripping with blood, and the death was terrifying. And the camp of 2,000 archers was directly torn apart by the bed crossbow, which was very miserable.
The bed crossbow originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was originally a combination of the power of several bows to increase the range and kill, but because the technology was limited and the cost was high, and the bed crossbow was inconvenient to move, and it required several people or even dozens or hundreds of people to operate, and the bed crossbow was not used much in the war.
The bed crossbow on Jinyang City is obviously not so simple. With the most advanced smelting technology in the world and the most advanced machine spring, the bed crossbow on Jinyang City has reached a terrifying level in terms of range, accuracy and lethality.
Just when the Jin army was terrified by the power of the bed crossbow, Jin Yang's catapult did not show pity because of their fear, but let out a cold roar, with awe-inspiring killing intent, and smashed into the Jin army.
"Bang bang bang!"
Although the human skull is hard, it is still incomparable to the small rock of the human head falling from a height of twenty or thirty meters, but if it is hit by a stone bullet, the brain will burst on the spot, and he will die directly.
At the same time, the archers who had experienced a hundred battles in the city also launched an offensive, and countless arrows flew out from the city like rain, landing in the Jin army, especially the Jin army carrying ladders, engineering vehicles and other siege equipment was mainly taken care of by the archers, and the casualties were extremely heavy.
In the flying dust, the earthquake trembled, and the five thousand Jin troops screamed one after another, and the red blood and stumps and broken arms were splashed everywhere, which made people stunned and couldn't help but tremble.
After the first ** momentum in the city, there were less than 2,000 Jin troops left, and these 2,000 people were also without battle, and they were frightened by the sharp offensive in the city, and their hearts were palpitating, and their faces shrank, and they didn't dare to take another step forward.
"No retreat! No return! Gao Xiang's face was pale, and he was even more furious when he saw his soldiers fleeing in embarrassment, and while wielding a knife to kill several soldiers, he roared angrily: "Take one step back and kill no mercy, take two steps back and kill the whole clan!" ”
