Chapter 92: Ruthless
"Let's beat the drums!"
Jiang Nan issued an order from the Chinese army, and as the supervisor of the army, Tailiang was immediately ordered to step forward, and under the instructions of his fast horse, several drum carts had been pushed out of the army.
The Jiangnan soldiers who heard the drums of the charge immediately put on a posture. Under the leadership of the four infantry generals Zhou Cake, Zheng Ke, Du Yang, and Tan Jing, a frantic charge began.
"Don't quit! No refund! Those who take a step back will be killed! ”
Zhou Cake seemed to be the head of the four generals, and the big knife in his hand was wielded by him, and after cutting off the heads of several soldiers who wanted to escape, they began to pour up the ladder one by one together with the more than 10,000 Luohe heavy armored infantry borrowed from the military horse Hou Fang Shuliu, and they had experienced such a siege battle more than once!
The bump under the city gate has been coated with fire oil, after igniting the ramming, dozens of tough guys in the army calmly pushed the rear end of the ramming, and the top that has been wrapped in flames has hit the city gate, several back and forth impacts, the low city gate of Jiujiang County has been lit with raging fire!
There were countless wails inside the city gate, and countless soldiers on fire kept flying, and under such circumstances, no Taibai soldier dared to use his body to block the impact outside the city, so the few flames in Jiangnan became unscrupulous!
But the rocks on the tower did not stop, half of the men who manipulated and smashed had been smashed to pieces, and the not very wide moat was already full of corpses, but as long as a soldier lost his place in the collision, someone immediately made up for it, they were all Ling Pressure's cronies, and they had been trained by Ling Pressure for a long time, and they no longer knew what death was!
The battle under the city gate is only the tip of this war, if you look down on the normal battle situation, you will find that there are already flames burning in many places on the tower of Jiujiang City.
That's all the credit of the catapults in the Jiangnan army, as long as the stones wrapped in fire oil can shoot to the top of the city tower, people will be turned on their backs, and many Taibai Sect soldiers in that area have been smashed into meat sauce, and then the raging fire is overwhelming, constantly sending soldiers to the Abi Hell!
Feng Hao had already collapsed a little, the attack of the Jiangnan troops was many times fiercer than he imagined, and his feet were already surrounded by corpses, there were people from his own side, and there were also a small number of Jiangnan troops who had already climbed the city tower but were beheaded by him.
"This doesn't work, give me a resist!"
In less than an hour of fierce fighting, the Jiujiang City Tower has been dyed bright red, and the Taibai soldiers who had been in contact with Feng Hao have turned into a cold corpse, and the arrows shot by Pan Min's archery and horse troops are almost full of dozens of meters in front of him, if the city tower is compared to a wheat field, then these bows and arrows are the thriving malt without hesitation!
"General!"
Feng Hao's personal soldiers were promoted from the army after he took charge of the city defense of Jiujiang County, to put it bluntly, this guy used to help those big families and farmers to grow land, and after joining the Taibai Sect, he has always done his duty, so he was promoted by Feng Hao.
"My lord, this can't be done, we have to deal with the attacks of the city towers on all sides, and we also have to use our energy to deal with those enemies who are manipulating and smashing under the city towers, and then we don't have many people on top like this!"
Feng Hao's face was sad, and he was also anxious in his heart, but looking at the soldiers who were already about to climb the city wall, he could only say fiercely: "Transfer those recruits over, you must resist!" ”
The soldiers were stunned for a while, these recruits were not so much recruited as men forcibly captured by the Taibai Sect, and they had almost no combat experience. The pro-soldier looked at Feng Hao again and immediately shouted, "General, you can't do it!" These recruits don't have any combat effectiveness at all, and if they are forcibly pulled as a human wall, I am afraid it will cause them to rebel! ”
"Shut up!"
Feng Hao suddenly shouted: "Rebellion!" Rebel! Lao Tzu is a rebel, who dares to mention rebellion to Lao Tzu! Our people have already gone to inform the king and the military division, and I believe that the military division will soon arrive with the king's personal troops, as long as we hold out until the military division comes, we may be saved..."
Feng Hao's voice was much quieter, and when he said that he was saved, he seemed to be unable to believe it, so he bit him and continued: "Immediately transfer those recruits who are still in the inner city, if anyone dares to rebel, they will be cut down by Lao Tzu, and there is no need to report to Lao Tzu!" ”
Thousands of recruits have come to the top of the city tower, and they are still much more tender than the veteran Taibai soldiers in Jiujiang County, and the soldiers who have climbed up are very weak, as long as they wave their weapons slightly, they can behead these people.
But they are recruits after all, but with them in front of them, Feng Hao's goal can be regarded as achieved. A recruit was caught off guard by the Jiangnan soldiers who were sent up, and Feng Hao immediately raised his knife and cut the man in half.
The same scene was repeated by many old white soldiers, and those recruits were worn out very quickly, and almost all of them turned into corpses in just a quarter of an hour!
"The military advisor is here! It's the military advisor who is coming! ”
The paging of the soldiers of the Taibai Sect made Feng Hao turn back, at this time, Liu Shaokun did not wear armor because of his hurry, and he looked haggard when he was still wrapped in a robe, and he almost exhausted his life after casting the formation for a long time.
A Taibai elite in armor has already gone up to the city tower, although those people with white scarves in their hands are the objects that Feng Hao usually hates the most, but it doesn't matter at this time, as long as they can stop Jiangnan, then everything is good.
"General Feng has worked hard!" Liu Shaokun nodded at Feng Hao, and with a gesture, those elites immediately joined the battlefield.
Liu Shaokun deserved to be a war maniac, he endured a little fatigue on his body, observed the battlefield, and immediately gave an order.
"You can't let these soldiers who climb along the iron spear go up to the tower!" Liu Shaokun was a little hoarse, "Bring me all the oil up!" ”
A jar of fire oil was poured down along the wall, whether it was the infantry troops on the ladder, or the private soldiers of Yanyuzhuang who were still climbing on the iron guns, they were all splashed with these fire oils.
The fire oil was slippery, and many people didn't grasp the support for a while, and immediately fell from mid-air and fell into the moat, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
"Ignition!"
With a "boom", the flames on the wall burst out, and the entire city wall of Jiujiang County was on fire, and the soldiers who were not agile suddenly turned into fire men and fell down in the pain of the flames.
The fire oil slipped along the wall to the surface of the moat, and the moats on all sides instantly turned into a sea of fire, and those who were lucky enough not to fall to their deaths were also swallowed up by it in an instant, and countless deaths and injuries were innumerable!
In the Chinese army in the distance, Jiang Nan and the others frowned, they also noticed Liu Shaokun's appearance, such a method must be a countermeasure that Liu Shaokun came up with after pondering, at this time, the method of climbing the faction along the iron spear of the Pan faction will definitely not work, Guo Zhun immediately asked for change and said a few words in Jiang Nan's ear.
Give up the climb and attack the gates with all your might!
When the herald gave Ling Pressure a message, he had already fallen, and with this self-cultivation, he did not hesitate to avoid the fire, and immediately shouted to some of the fleeing Yanyuzhuang private soldiers and Zhou Cake and other generals, and began to bombard the city gate with all his strength!
Feng Hao let out a sigh of relief, Liu Shaokun's beautiful one-handed fire attack had stopped the offensive of the Jiangnan army, and the soldiers of the Taibai Sect did not need to have too many casualties, and the battle situation was temporarily eased.
But Liu Shaokun was not easy, his face was heavy, he knew that although this method could stop Jiangnan for a while, it could not stop Jiangnan I, they were trapped in the city when the fire oil was finally exhausted, but Jiangnan was outside the city, and the iron spears projected by the Qiang cavalry could be said to be endless, and the city gate would be broken sooner or later!
Moreover, even if the Jiangnan army gave up the method of climbing, would the side of the city gate be able to hold it? It's the same fire plan, even if there are many people on your side who go to the top city gate, they will only be burned into charred corpses, even if there are boulders and bows and arrows on the city tower to cover, but there are definitely only a lot more people in the Jiangnan army who are willing to die than their own side!
His thoughts gradually returned to the moment when he had just received Feng Hao's urgent report for half an hour, and the reason why he came so late was because he did not rush directly to the battlefield after receiving the information, but went to the Taishou Mansion where Huang Quan was.
Liu Shaokun, who fled back to Jiujiang in defeat, was always reluctant to see Huang Quan, but fortunately, Huang Quan seemed to be willing to see him, and this deadlock was not broken until the arrival of Jiangnan soldiers.
Huang Quan is still as mediocre as Liu Shaokun imagined, he has already called himself the king of Jiujiang, he is still enjoying himself in his Taishou Mansion when he is being attacked, and the eunuch Wang Zhiwen on the side is waiting on the side, watching Liu Shaokun's eyes continue to burst out of anger!
"Why did Shaokun come here?" Even if Huang Quan is unwilling, he can only say such things.
"Doesn't the king know about the upstairs of Jiujiang City?"
Liu Shaokun remembered that Huang Quan was thoughtful and replied like this.
"Castle Tower? Just now, Zhiwen had already told me that Feng Hao had withstood Jiangnan's attack! And ask me to send my own soldiers to increase my own momentum! ”
At that time, Liu Shaokun sneered, he could be said to have no confidence in Huang Quan, and he didn't go to see it in person when he was attacked at the door of his house, but just listened to the villains around him continue to offer slander.
How can such a person succeed?
When Liu Shaokun told Huang Quan the true situation of Jiujiang, Huang Quan was shocked and frightened, and after surrendering to Wang Zhiwen with an inquiring eye, he hurriedly asked Liu Shaokun how he was good.
"All the king's personal soldiers will be handed over to Kun to command... If it really doesn't work, it can only be..."
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the heavens and the earth were shaken.
"The gates are broken!"
I don't know if the soldiers on the Jiangnan side or the Taibai sect side were the first to shout.
Liu Shaokun frowned, and he gradually returned to reality in his thinking.
He gave an order to Huang Quan's personal soldiers next to him, and it seemed that he had already prepared for the destruction of Jiangnan.
Under the city tower, Ling Quan and the others were excited, and they were about to lead their troops to rush into the city, in their opinion, Jiujiang had been taken, and the Taibai Sect was finished!
But the next moment they were stunned.
What awaits them in the city is not the defeated and fleeing Taibai soldiers...
A large number of civilians were piled up behind the city gates, men, women and children, and some even held crying children in their hands!
This group of people were yellow-skinned, disheveled, and their faces were full of grievances, but behind them, those elite weapons of the Taibai Sect pointed straight at them.
The Taibai Sect is driving away the people! I want to use the people as a shield!
Liu Shaokun, a ruthless man, gambled that Jiangnan did not dare to cross the people to forcibly take Jiujiang!
