Chapter 133: Attack on the King's City
Next.
Lu Yang pulled the 50,000 army under the southern city early, and all the siege equipment was also moved, and the entire team occupied a small half of the field under the city, and more than half was reserved for Wang Xu.
Not long after, Wang Xu also led a large army to come, and the 90,000 army marched mightily, setting up a formation on Lu Yang's left hand, roughly divided into eighteen army formations, each with 5,000 people.
Lu Yang was arranging the siege of the city for his generals in the Central Army, Wang Xu led Zhang Meng, Sun Yu, Jia Hui and other horses to come, looking at Lu Yang, Wang Xu smiled and said: "General Lu, I will rely on you later, I wish you success and establish miraculous achievements." ”
Lu Yang smiled and pointed to the row of siege equipment in the front army: "General Wang, do you have such sharp weapons in your army?" "It's like showing off.
Wang Xu raised his eyes and looked, his eyes suddenly turned red, not to mention the ladder, there were three trebuchets, three flying bridges, three siege towers, and one crash car
It is the first time Wang Xu has seen so many siege equipment, especially in this era of cold weapons, Wang Xu believes that this should be the best siege equipment.
People have to die than people, goods have to be thrown, look at other people's weapons, and then look at their own, Wang Xu has an urge to hit the wall, it is impossible to compare, even the ladder is different, his ladder is tied with wood, but other people's is made of car, divided into two ladders, which can be retracted, and it is a luxury version at a glance.
Ignoring Lu Yang, Wang Xu looked at all the equipment, and then set his eyes on the moat in the distance, the moat was two zhang wide, and after a rainstorm for half a month, it was filled with water at this time.
Wang Xu frowned: "General Lu, your equipment is very sharp, but the moat under the city wall is so wide, what will happen to you?" ”
Lu Yang smiled confidently, pointed to a kind of equipment in front of him and said: "That kind of siege equipment is called 'flying bridge', which is to ensure the siege troops pass through the moat, three zhang long and two zhang wide, extremely strong, just two zhang moat, how can it stop me." ”
Wang Xu suddenly realized, and said secretly, good thing!
"It seems that General Wang is not very familiar with these instruments, it won't be the first time I've seen them, right?" Lu Yang's words were very sarcastic, and he secretly scolded Wang Xu for being a hillbilly.
Wang Xu was not angry, and arched his hand: "It is indeed the first time I have seen it, and the attack on Wangcheng depends on the general." ”
At this time, a herald with a red flag in his hand came running on horseback, stayed close, and said loudly: "General, the siege phalanx has been arranged." ”
"Okay." Lu Yang waved his hand: "Order the first batch of siege soldiers to immediately enter the battle." ”
"Order." The herald departed.
The corners of Wang Xu's mouth hooked up a smile, and he said to Sun Yu beside him: "Beat the drums and cheer for the brothers who are besieging the city!" ”
"No."
On the royal city, Zhou Yi did not come in person, the general who was responsible for commanding the city was named Yan Xiang, who was the young master of the Yan family in Guxi County, and the power of the Yan family was extremely huge, and the shops, restaurants, and cloth villages in the royal city accounted for one-tenth of their industries.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Yi dared to hand over the city gate to the Yan family to garrison, because once the royal city is broken, all the property of the Yan family will become the thief army, Zhou Yi believes that Yan Xiang will serve his life!
Yan Xiang has 5,000 elites broadcast by Zhou Yi, plus 2,000 private soldiers from the Yan family himself, there are a total of 7,000 soldiers on the city wall at this moment; As early as three days ago, Yan Xiang moved the necessary tools to defend the city to the city, such as boiling oil, giant trees, rolling stones, etc., all of which were inexhaustible.
Yan Xiang is also defending the city for the first time, and he is a little nervous, but he has a belief, that is, the royal city must be defended, otherwise the Yan family will be in great trouble!
Looking at the large number of siege equipment under the city, Yan Xiang's scalp was numb, he also saw it for the first time, the highest level of equipment he had seen before was the trebuchet, there were three in the royal city, but he had never seen those tall equipment, and he didn't know its use.
Ding Ran was the general of the Yan family, and he strode in front of Yan Xiang: "Young master, it seems that the enemy is about to start attacking." ”
"Don't call me a young master, call me a general." Yan Xiang corrected.
Ding Ran nodded and immediately changed his words.
Yan Xiang looked at the tower-shaped equipment in Lu Yang's army, and was a little worried, that kind of tower was more than two feet high, if it was driven to the bottom of the city, it could directly climb to the top of the city, which had to be guarded against.
Yan Xiang said: "Send someone to report to the prince, and send another thousand archers to help in the battle." ”
"No." Ding Ran agreed.
As soon as Ding Ran left, the city launched an attack, with drums and dust.
Lu Yang's first siege force was full of 5,000 people, and these 5,000 people were all sword and shield hands, but they were not all sword and shield hands, because each soldier had a longbow on his back and could return fire with bows and arrows at any time.
The 5,000 men were divided into three formations, each with a flybridge in front of it to play the striker, followed by the siege tower. Behind the queue in the middle, more than 30 people pushed a huge crash car forward, the crash car was two zhang long and one zhang wide, and there were five giant trees tied to the door knocking machine, hanging on the horizontal wood above, as long as it was gently pulled, the giant wood would rush forward.
At the rear of the three columns, three trebuchets were pushed slowly by dozens of people, and stopped when they reached the firing range.
"Drop the boulder."
Huge boulders were carried onto catapults by soldiers.
"Put!" The flag was drawn.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
The three boulders suddenly broke away from the trebuchet, flew up suddenly, cut through the sky and rushed to the city wall in the distance, this kind of boulder was extremely huge, more than a hundred catties.
Boom, boom, boom
The battle officially began, three boulders hit like meteorites outside the sky, and smashed heavily on the city wall, this blow smashed into the group of soldiers who were waiting on the city wall, the city wall was more than two zhang wide, but in addition to the place where the equipment was stacked, it was all archers, pikemen, etc., who were ready to defend the city, and in an instant, the boulder fell down, and more than a dozen soldiers died.
The walls shook, and all the soldiers were terrified, as if they had reached the end of the world.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
The second round of slings is here again
The battle was in full swing, the three troops under the city had already rushed to the moat, the three flying bridges were quickly lowered, and all the soldiers passed over the flying bridges.
On the city wall, Yan Xiang shouted: "Fight back, the archers fight back!" ”
At this time, there were only 1,000 archers on the city wall, and at Yan Xiang's signal, they came to the city wall, and when they saw that the enemy troops under the city were crossing the moat, they all raised their bows and arrows to shoot.
Whoosh
Bows and arrows flew down like rain and rushed straight to the Luyang siege troops under the city, but the effect was not good, because each of Luyang's soldiers was equipped with a shield, which could effectively resist the arrow feathers. In this round of shooting, only more than 100 people were killed.
At this moment, on the flybridge, a centurion took the longbow from his back: "Brothers, let the enemy taste our strength." ”
Dozens of people took out their bows and arrows at the same time, and dozens of people took cover on the side.
"Archer, put!"
Whoosh
A round of counterattack, dozens of arrow feathers shot straight above the city tower, suddenly, a carved arrow feather grazed Yan Xiang's ear and flew by, Yan Xiang was frightened, hurriedly hid behind the wall, his martial arts were mediocre, and his sensitivity was not high, I don't know how this arrow came from, I only felt the sound of wind passing by my ears, and then the soldiers behind him fell in a pool of blood.
"Resist the enemy, resist the enemy!" Yan Xiang roared in panic.
