Chapter 659: Siege Battle (2)
For a soldier or a general on the battlefield, there is nothing more joyful than winning a battle, which will test the results of their previous training, as well as the achievements of war, and the glory and wealth.
"Kill!"
At the front of the group, a lieutenant raised his sword and yelled desperately, and every time he roared, the soldiers behind him screamed and charged forward.
The attacking troops under the city advanced in an orderly manner, but at this moment on the city wall, it was a mess, when the cannon stopped, those soldiers who pushed to the rear of the city wall went to the city to resist the enemy, Yu Xiang also walked out of the hiding hole with a group of generals at this time.
However, when Yu Xiang walked out, he was startled, only to see that the city wall had been completely dilapidated, many places had been blown across by explosives, such a city wall, the soldiers could not move quickly on it, if there were no soldiers anywhere, they couldn't support, and the same was true for the equipment, especially in the front three zhang, there was a two-meter-long trench, how to cross the past, I am afraid that even the soldiers could not cross it, let alone boulders, rolling logs, and other city defense tools.
"Quick, get ready to defend the city, wait for the enemy to come up."
Don't let Yu Xiang order, the generals on the side have already moved, everyone knows that if you can't hold the city and wait for them, you will die, unless you want to be a prisoner.
"Hold it off for me!" Yu Xiang carried a spear and constantly commanded the generals and soldiers beside him, although he was also apprehensive in his heart, he decided, he must not retreat, he must persevere! As long as he doesn't back down, then the other generals have no reason to back down.
In other words, if even Yu Xiang is afraid of death and cowering, then you don't have to fight to know that you are dead, just like before, when Yu Xiang hid in the hiding cave, and at the same time, the other generals also did the same.
That's what you can do. Because the enemy was just bombing, Bing did not attack, and now, it is not working. Because the enemy is already attacking, if you walk away at this time, the city will be lost.
Sun Yu looked at Zheng Li: "General Zheng, how long do you estimate it will take to attack?" ”
Zheng Li did not go into battle in person, because he was the commander of the entire siege force. There was no need for thousands, he just needed to give orders.
Hearing this, Zheng Li looked at the city wall in front of him and said, "Half a day, half a day at most!" ”
"General Zheng is talking a bit big, isn't it?"
On the side, Fukangan said with a smile.
Indeed, it seems to be a bit big, because Guan Xiangcheng is in tatters, but there are still more than 100,000 troops in the city, and Hu Ling in the rear may be reinforced at any time. In this situation, it is a little difficult to conquer Guan Xiang in half a day, however, Zheng Li is very confident in his troops, not to mention that the city has been bombarded now, even if there is no five tons of explosives thrown in by Fu Xu before, he is also confident.
"General Fu, you don't have to worry about it, Ben will have his own way."
Zheng Lidao.
Fukangan nodded. Didn't say anything more.
"Kill..."
Bang bang bang...
As the earth-shattering shouts of killing came, ladders were erected on the side of the city wall, and at the same time, Zheng Li's soldiers began to climb up the ladders. These soldiers are extremely athletic, and although the ladder is very long and very homely, under their feet they are as if they were walking on the ground.
This army is specially trained to siege the city, so. When they were training, they had to train how to climb the ladder almost every day, and they trained for several years, even if you were stupid, it became a habit, no matter which soldier it was, it was fast and approaching, and its speed was amazing, definitely not comparable to those ordinary soldiers.
"Archers, shoot quickly, don't let them come up. Quick Photos. ”
Above the city wall, Yu Xiang's lieutenants and lieutenants shouted as hard as they could, and some generals even ran over and picked up the boulder and smashed it down, it can be seen from their expressions that they are extremely worried about the current Guan Xiang City, maybe in the next second, this place will fall.
"Bang... Yes.... ”
A stone fell down, and one of the soldiers who climbed at the front quickly raised his shield, however, the power of the boulder was too great, so this blow directly smashed him down the ladder and landed under the city wall.
The soldiers died in battle, but the soldiers who followed did not feel frightened by this, it can be said that the soldier who died just now did not have any effect at all, and the soldiers continued to advance.
Whoosh...
At the bottom of the ladder, two soldiers held a shield in one hand and a strong crossbow in the other, and on one side of their bodies, they actually launched six bows and arrows with one hand, directly shooting several soldiers in the city who were about to throw boulders down, and then fell off the tower.
I have to say that Zheng Li's 100,000 people are extremely elite, and there are even soldiers who can shoot bows and arrows while climbing the ladder, which is not a small difficulty, because this requires the soldiers to have enough arm strength and strength, and only in this way can it be done.
At the same time, under other enemies and other ladders, such soldiers can also be seen stumbling, and under the cover of the soldiers in front, they have taken out strong crossbows and shot upwards, these soldiers have very good skills, but all the bows and arrows that are shot, more than 80% of them are hit, and almost they do not miss.
With such a soldier here, the soldiers in the city didn't dare to stick their heads out after reacting, because if you go out, you are very likely to be shot, and the soldiers don't want to die, they all want to live.
With such thoughts, many of the soldiers defending the city began to fight, and the resistance to defend the city was not so fierce, and taking advantage of this gap, the siege soldiers quickly crawled up, and after a while, many soldiers could be seen climbing to the top of the city wall.
"Die!"
On the city wall, Yu Xiang held a spear in his hand, and a soldier climbed up with a sword, he walked over and broke off, and swept it over, and the soldier who climbed up was immediately swept away and flew directly down the city tower.
All the soldiers know Yu Xiang's bravery, so everyone is not surprised, but no matter how brave Yu Xiang is, what's the use? Can he defend a distance of one kilometer, can he defend all the walls, and knock this soldier away, but what about the other enemies?
"Kill!"
After about a stick of incense, Yu Xiang raised his eyes and saw that there were already many enemy soldiers on the city wall who had climbed up, and they were all surrounding the edge of the city wall, the intention of these soldiers was obvious, their task was not to kill many enemies, but to occupy the edge of the area, so as to ensure that the soldiers behind could climb up safely.
In general siege warfare, ordinary soldiers will always make the same mistake, after climbing the city wall, they will blindly kill the enemy, and no longer care about the soldiers who come after, so that although the soldiers may be able to have a few enemies, but also give the defenders of the city a chance, as long as they hold the ladder in that position, the enemy wants to climb up, it is very difficult, and every step forward has to pay the price of blood.
And these soldiers in front of them are well-trained and very disciplined, and it can be concluded at a glance that they are definitely the elite who have been trained for many years, the elite of the elite!
Yu Xiang was shocked, quickly ran to the wall to join the battle, and continued to kill the enemy, he didn't dare to stop, only a quick kill could make him feel at ease.
"There are no boulders, hurry up and bring some boulders to Lao Tzu."
"I don't have any giant trees here, come over there." (To be continued.) )
