460 Battle of Xiangyang (6)

Sun Ce understood the worries in Zhou Yu's heart, as Zhou Yu said, he didn't believe that the weak Zhang Lu could entangle Luan Yi, plus the time to travel, at most a month and a half, Luan Yi would be able to rush back to Chang'an. [There are almost all the books you want to read.,It's much more stable and updated faster than the general station.,There's no ads in the whole text.] ]

In this way, there is really not much time left for him.

"Pass me the handsome order, and throw all three hundred handmelons to me!"

The catapult rumbled to the front of the military formation, and with Ling Tong's order, more than 50 catapults started at the same time.

This time, after a night of precipitation, the Jiangdong Army summed up the lessons of yesterday, and no longer separated the catapult throwing stones from the soldiers and horses charging into the formation, but carried out the two at the same time, which could not only suppress the defensive force of Xiangyang City with the help of the gourd, but also not delay the soldiers and horses rushing into battle.

If Luan Yi were present and saw with his own eyes the siege mode newly developed by the Jiangdong Army, he would have been surprised. For a long time before, not only the Han Dynasty, but even the surrounding Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes have always been catapults, bows and arrows followed by infantry, and they were very rigid. At present, the Jiangdong Army's long-range gunpowder throwing weapons and melee arms have a more advanced tactical system.

The art of war has been sublimated in the war, but it is a pity that the object of sublimation is Luan Yi's soldiers and horses.

Under the suppression of the rumbling handmelon, facing the surging Jiangdong army. The church guards in Jingzhou could only rush to the city wall with fierce blasting, or hide behind the female wall, or bow down and hand over their lives to the shield soldiers, risking their lives and paying huge casualties to defend the city wall.

Thankfully, due to the frost covering the city, the friction of the handmelon was too small to gain a foothold on the city, and it fell from the other side of the city wall to the bottom of the city with a stroke.

In addition, because the lead production process is not perfect, it is not cold-resistant. Many fiery melons fell on the city, and the fuses were extinguished in the cold weather, under the effect of frost and cooling, and turned into stink bombs that could not explode.

Therefore, under the influence of many factors, only about 170 of the nearly 300 handmelons were successfully detonated.

Although the effect of the explosion was not ideal, the strategic purpose of the Jiangdong Army was finally achieved - the siege army led by Zhou Tai, LΓΌ Meng, and Xu Sheng almost encountered any obstacles, and easily crossed the moat and killed under Xiangyang City. At the same time, Ling Tong's catapult array also stopped dropping bombs.

The first besiegers began to try to put the ladder on the wall, but after several attempts, they were shocked to find that the ground was covered with a thick layer of frost, and it was too slippery for the ladder to stand. [Popular updates are fast, website pages are refreshing, there are few ads, no pop-ups, I like this kind of website the most, be sure to praise]

In desperation, Zhou Tai, LΓΌ Meng, and Xu Sheng organized men and horses to dig a fulcrum for the ladder on the ground, and on the other hand, arranged crossbowmen to shoot arrows desperately at the head of the city to provide cover for the soldiers digging the pit.

On the other side, Yu Ban and Li Dian on the city wall shouted at the church guards to launch a frantic counterattack, arrows, rolling logs, and stones, as if they had to be thrown under the city for their lives. The dumb gourds shot by the Jiangdong soldiers were also reinstalled with fuses under the accelerated repair of the engineers, sent to the city head and handed over to the city guards, and dropped the city wall in the form of hand throws.

In a battle of 10,000 people, there is no need to pursue precision in throwing hand melons, just throw them into the crowd, "boom", and after the smoke of gunpowder, there are corpses scattered on the ground.

The Jiangdong army withstood the rain of arrows and bullets, and after paying more than 6,000 casualties, finally put the cloud ladder on the city. The red-eyed Jiangdong Army pinned his shirt to his waist and swarmed up the ladder with the back of his knife in his mouth.

At the top of the city, the guards who threw the rolling wood and stones became more and more vigorous. The robbery echelon holding Changge also rushed up, pushing down the city with the cloud ladder.

"Hold on, hold the ladder for me!" The angry Xu Sheng personally went into battle and hugged the ladder to death. A pair of thick arms with a bowl mouth have high muscles, and the muscles are bubbling up, "Uh-huh...... Hurry up! ”

"Wen Xiang (Xu Sheng's words) resist, let me come!" Stimulated by the scorching battle, the wild hormones in Zhou Tai's body burst out, causing his eyes to turn red. He dragged down a frightened soldier on the ladder and climbed the wall himself. With one hand on the escalator and the other hand the long knife in the airtight, he smashed the arrows and logs aside.

With a sturdy posture, he took three steps and made two steps, and in an instant he flew to the head of the city, and the corpse was swept by the big sword.

"Zhou Tai! The general of the defeated army, still dare to come to die? "It was none other than Zhou Tai's old enemy Li Dian who spoke. See Zhou Tai ascending the city and occupy a place in the corner of the city to cover the arrival of other Jiangdong soldiers. Li Dian shouted violently, and greeted him violently.

"Li Mancheng, last time you used a sharp weapon and won half a move. This time, I also changed the blade forged by the Holy Mother cult, what else can you do to me? ”

Li Dian took a look, it was true. What Zhou Tai held in his hand was the product of the Church Ordnance Institute, and he thought he picked it up when he retired yesterday. He snorted coldly and said, "If you don't have good skills, you still make excuses." Chop off your head and see what excuses you have! With that, he raised his hand and swept Zhou Tai with a knife.

"Good time!" Zhou Tai jumped to the side, turned over and was a whirlwind leg, followed by a fire to the sky.

Li Dian avoided them one by one without hurrying, and his backhand was a knife.

The two of you come and go, and I fight each other. With yesterday's first encounter, this time, the two directly crossed the tentative stage and instantly raised the fight to **.

Just when Li Dian and Zhou Tai were fighting to the death, more and more Jiangdong soldiers poured up to the city pass, first one or two Jiangdong soldiers climbed up from the ladder behind Zhou Tai, slashed left and right and knocked down two guards, and then were poked into a sieve by the swarming guards.

The Jiangdong soldier was really strong, and he still did not forget to kill the enemy at the last moment of his death, and he actually fell down the city with a guard in his arms, and used his life to win the time for the robe behind him to ascend to the city.

Subsequently, four or five Jiangdong pawns climbed up to the city, and while desperately guarding their ladder to the city, they fought a bloody way for their companions on the left and right.

More and more elevators are no longer threatened by rolling wood and arrows. Climbing the city just got easier.

"it! Dare me to go down with all these dogs! "Yu Ban feels more and more that these foul words invented by the sect leader are really exciting." Where are the reserves? Come with me and get them down. ”

With the addition of Yu Ban, the guards defending the city suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and the Jiangdong soldiers who poured into the city were defeated by the brave church guards, and dozens of Jiangdong soldiers were cornered, fell into the city, fell into the crowd of people under the city, or died or were injured. More and more ladders were pushed off the city walls.

On the city wall, Zhou Tai was still holding on to the place he had won so hard, facing the church guards who were surging from all sides and Li Dian who was becoming more and more courageous, he frantically waved the steel knife and shield in his hand, and began to ask for help from Lu Meng and Xu Sheng under the city, "Lu Ziming, Xu Wenxiang." Fast...... Send people in, I can't stand it. ”

"Brother Youping, don't panic, Xu Shenglai also." Xu Sheng let go of the ladder in his hand and climbed towards the city like a gust of wind.

On the one hand, LΓΌ Meng ordered the archers to shoot arrows at the head of the city to cover the attack of Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng, and on the other hand, he urged the overseers to intercept the soldiers who were afraid of the battle. At the same time, he took out his bow and let go of an arrow.

The sharp arrow broke through the air and went straight to Li Dian who was fighting head-on with Zhou Tai at the head of the city.

Li Dianzheng was paying close attention to Zhou Tai's every move, where did he think that there would be a cold arrow attacking. Fortunately, thanks to the ban in advance warning - "Manchester City, beware of the arrows. Li Dian didn't die on the spot.

However, although his life was saved, because the arrow came too suddenly, Li Dian only turned sideways to avoid the vital point, and the arrow still hit his majestic body, piercing into the abdomen just below his chest.

"Uh......" Li Dian snorted, spitting blood from his mouth and kneeling on one knee.

Zhou Tai took the opportunity to make a fuss, drew a knife and slashed the back of Li Dian's neck, "Give me death." ”

"What kind of hero is a hidden arrow hurting people! If you want to take the life of my general, you must pass our level first. The church guards went crazy, rushed in front of Zhou Tai like a gust of wind, and protected Li Dian behind him. There were also guards who carried them and strode to the medics.

"Get out of the way." Zhou Tai opened and closed widely, put down two guards in a row, and was about to chase Li Dian, but was stopped by Yu Ban. "Where to go!"

One of them was armed with a knife and the other with a gun. Compared with Zhou Tai, Yu Ban's kung fu is obviously better, and Zhou Tai hung a lot of knife wounds after a long battle, and was defeated by Yu Ban's killing.

Seeing that he was about to be driven to the base of the wall by Yu Ban, Xu Sheng jumped onto the city and joined the station circle. Joining forces with Zhou Tai will be banned and retreated. With the assistance of two fierce generals, the Jiangdong army, which had been suppressed from the city, rushed up again. This time, their attack was even more courageous than just now, because at this time, Lu Meng was holding a big sword to guard the city, and anyone who dared to retreat would be a dead end.

Death became commonplace at this moment, and the guards of the church built a stubborn line of defense with firm faith, and the Jiangdong soldiers were not afraid of death under the threat of death.

For a time, the two armies on the city wall went crazy, and the narrow passage of the city wall became a slaughterhouse for human life, and after only a short time of incense, nearly 10,000 corpses fell in a pool of blood.

With the rapid depletion of troops, the balance of war began to tilt in the direction of the Jiangdong Army, which had a large base.

The front of the Church Army gradually moved back under the onslaught of the enemy's death.

At this moment, a solemn cry came from everyone's ears, "Our Lady is with us, fight to kill the enemy!" ”

It turned out to be the servants of the Jingzhou Diocesan Labor Propaganda Team, holding the "Holy Mother Sutra" in one hand and a seven-foot sword in the other, wearing divine robes and joining the standing circle. Along with them were some medics and engineers in the army.

Dressed in the armor of the dead robes, they shouted neatly and integrated into the friendly army, fighting side by side with the robes, living and dying together.

Engineer commander Zang Ba took the lead, ran to Yu Ban's side in three steps and two steps, raised his hand to replace the blade slashed by Xu Sheng under Yu Ban, and said loudly: "Brother Wen Ze, don't panic, I'll help you." ”

"And me!" A young general stabbed an enemy soldier with a spear and stuck it behind Yu Ban.

It turned out to be Cao Ang himself.
