Zhang Yue led his troops to rest in Baishanshu for a day, waiting for the logistics and grain and grass to be in place. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 On the 20th, the whole army was dispatched, and Gao Changhai was sent to the Yuanzhou soldiers and horses and the Linjing army to make Gao Changhai the main general, and Yao Keding and Ma Tan led the Baoding army as the deputies, commanding 5,000 troops, carrying ladders, rushing cars and other equipment to attack and defend the military city.

Feng Jianjie, the deputy commander of the scout, brought a letter and led fifty people south to Yangfei Valley to eliminate Shen Nian's worries and prevent him from throwing into the trap, and led the soldiers of the Liugu tribe to the north to help.

Hou Zhang led Shuo's army of 5,000 cavalry to hold Huangyang Town to block the southward movement of Liangzhou. Zhang Yue led 10,000 soldiers of the Changyi Army to Changzhou, intending to seize the southeast of Liangzhou in one fell swoop with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.

It takes two days to walk from Anguo Town to Huangyang Town and then to Changzhou, and it takes time to establish a logistics supply line, while there is no need to delay from Anguo Town to Heshu Military City, and the rapid march will take one day.

Zhang Yue originally thought that on the day when the soldiers came to the city of Changzhou, he would receive the good news that Gao Changhai would seize and defend the military city, but no, a military city with a wall less than two zhang high and a circumference of only six miles was not defeated by five thousand soldiers in one day.

Zhang Yue was very annoyed when he received the report, sent people south to urge the battle, and pulled 12,000 soldiers out of the camp the next day, lined up one mile away from the east city gate, and marched Sima Shi Chenghong led the Zhangyi Ya Army, Shi Deyuan led the Weizhou Yisheng Army, launched an attack from the left and right sides of the city gate, and led 5,000 people from the Zhenyuan Army to sweep the formation.

Thirty counterweight trebuchets on the left and right were lined up, and each of them had 10 medium-sized planes with a range of 500 paces, and the stone projectiles fired reached 15 catties, which was much more powerful than that of light machines.

The Zhenyuan Army has not yet established a professional branch to operate trebuchets, and Qin Feng has not participated in the battle, and there are not many officers who understand and can command skillfully, Xuan Chongwen and Zong Jingcheng are the chief officers of Huizhou, and the craftsman battalion of Qin Feng with the army was transferred to Huizhou after the war, and the two have supervised the manufacture of a variety of heavy equipment, and then they personally went to the front to command.

"Report! The counterweight of the medium-sized machine should be lightened, and the projectile rod should be raised by two feet! The pro-soldier who measured the distance ran over to report.

"Do it!" Xuan Chongwen said expressionlessly, looking up at the city wall a mile away, the soldiers were moving towards the wall, and the guards were said to be folding, and the number of troops defending the city was about 10,000. In this case, as long as there is enough food and grass and the defense is appropriate, it is difficult to take it.

Soon, the trebuchet distance was calibrated, and the loading was completed, and Xuan Chongwen sent someone to the south to inform Zong Jingcheng of the appointed time. A moment later, sixty trebuchets were fired at once, and large and small stone projectiles whistled into the air, smacking on the city walls with a continuous roar.

Some medium-sized machine stone shells flew directly over the city and fell into the city, causing great panic to the defenders. The light machine stone bullet partially fell on the top of the city, jumping and injuring several people in a row. Smacking on the buildings of the city tower, they directly penetrated through, and bullet holes began to appear in the thin walls of the houses, sawdust splashed, and dust was everywhere.

Since the Tang army withdrew from Hexi, the soldiers of Liangzhou had not seen this terrifying weapon for nearly a hundred years, and the moment they first saw it, they were a little stunned when they saw the small black dots in the sky getting bigger and bigger. When I saw many companions being hit by stone bullets, some of them hit their heads, and the blood sprayed them, and the heads disappeared directly, and the situation was extremely terrifying.

When a small black dot appeared in the sky, the soldiers finally reacted and let out a frightened roar, many people turned around and ran, and the city was in chaos, and the soldiers scattered and fled, looking for a place to hide.

"Hide under the battlements, hide under the battlements......" Zhi Xiaozhi was shocked in his heart and roared loudly, but the soldiers were out of control and only cared about running around, and no one listened to his command at all.

Five rounds of stone bullets in a row, the defenders at the head of the wall almost half of the run, Xuan Chongwen was overjoyed when he saw this, and without waiting for the order of Zhang Yue of the Chinese army, he immediately ordered Shi Chenghong's right army to push the ladder forward first.

As soon as the right army moved, the left army was not willing to be left behind, and the two battalions in the front formation pushed five cloud ladders and fifty light wooden ladders to attack the city at the same time, and the last three battalions advanced forward so that the whole army could press on at any time. The soldiers of the left and right armies rushed to the foot of the city wall like a tide, and the light wooden ladder was built first, and some officers began to take the lead in climbing the ladder to the city.

Some of the defenders at the head of the wall did not flee, and when they were in shock, they suddenly saw that there were no small black dots flying in the air, and they were suddenly bold, and rushed to the battlement, raised the stone and threw it downward, or the two of them carried the rolling log together and threw it, which caused a certain amount of damage to the soldiers who climbed the ladder.

But the soldiers of the Zhou army came very violently, and the defenders ran a lot of people, and there were vacancies in many places. The soldiers obviously had little experience in defending the city, and they were not equipped with weapons such as hooks and iron forks, so they seemed to be weak to deal with them.

When the towering ladder behind them was turned up, the big iron hook at the top was attached, and the soldiers below held their big shields high, and the two of them climbed up in pairs, constantly blocking stones and rolling logs, and finally an officer jumped onto the top of the city.

Zhi Xiaozhi was shocked, and hurriedly led his own soldiers forward to resist, but fortunately, the soldiers who ran away at this time began to come back, but they were all a little panicked, and they couldn't return to their predetermined positions for a while.

"Someone went up! Go and ask which unit it is, and the scattered officials will be promoted to one level and rewarded heavily! Zhang Yue saw it from a distance in the Chinese army, and couldn't help but give the order with great joy.

Yang Xuanli waved his hand when he heard this, and Fu Zhaoji, the deputy envoy of the Imperial Palace, shouted: "Jiao Er, go to the front of the right army and ask!" ”

"Order!" Jiao Er is now the standard-bearer of the guard of honor in peacetime, and in wartime he is a herald, so he raised his hand in response to the military salute, turned around and ran to the front two hundred paces away, came back out of breath for a while, and said loudly: "Report the Fu Xuanjie!" It is the Zhangyi Ya Army, all four, and the head is thick. ”

"Homecoming!" Fu Zhaoji nodded, waved his hand to send Jiao Er back to the team, took out a small notebook from his arms, took out a brush from the bamboo tube and quickly wrote it down, in case the marshal asked.

If in peacetime, this kind of thing is the responsibility of the secretary Li Duoshou, in fact, it is secretarial work, but in wartime it is different, civilian officials are responsible for dispatching logistics, managing the grain and grass of the camp, and did not come with the army.

Soon, the left army also had people attacked, Shi Deyuan took the second echelon of his own soldiers to follow the city, with a total of ten ladders on the left and right to take the city, more and more soldiers went to the city, and gradually gained a foothold, and there was hope for breaking the city.

"Herald! A regiment of the Ma army went around five miles outside the West City Gate to prepare for interception, and they were not allowed to come back if they did not chase and kill for fifty miles! Zhang Yue sat on his horse and gave orders, this time it was a siege battle, ready to move at any time, and he did not set up a command platform.

Hao Tianying, the leader of the horse army on the west side of the rear, received the order of Daxi, and he and Ming Jinpeng led a thousand horse teams to quickly turn around and gallop westward, the purpose of course was to pursue and kill the defeated soldiers who escaped from the city.

A moment later, the west city wall was all occupied, the city gate was wide open, Zhang Yue led his troops into the city, while sending troops to pursue and suppress a small group of Tibetan stragglers, and on the other hand, they scattered and attacked with battalions as units, seizing the state government, warehouse, and Shen's mansion in Changzhou City.

Originally, seeing that Gao Changhai had not conquered the Heshu Military City in the southwest of Kipkou for a day, Zhang Yue had a hard battle since then, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. After the war, he led his troops into the state office in the city, and asked the generals to analyze the reasons for the rapid victory and draw a conclusion.

Most of the defenders were frightened away by the power of the trebuchet, and when they returned to the city under the call of the Zhizhi branch, they launched an attack in time and landed on the city in one go.
