Chapter Ninety-Four: The Trebuchet Strikes (Sixth Watch)

By July, Yangzhou was already extremely hot, and the soldiers in armor were even more unbearable, so although the Han army sat on the ground, they had no energy to talk.

The Han army and the rebels in the city confronted each other strangely under this cool sun.

Jia Xu looked up at the sky, and said to Xu Rong, "General, the soldiers have almost recovered their physical strength, and if nothing else, Your Majesty will arrive in an hour." ”

Xu Rong nodded when he heard this, and then ordered, "Order the rear to look for boulders everywhere, and the front, left, and right sides are strictly guarded." ”

"No"

Xu Zhao in the city was very puzzled when he watched the movements of the Han army, and during the confrontation, Xu Zhao tried to figure out the intentions of the Han army, but he was not at all puzzled.

An hour passed in this confrontation.

A Praetorian Guard came to the middle army where Xu Rong was and said, "Your Majesty is three miles away from here. ”

Xu Rong nodded, and said to Jia Xu, "Your Majesty has arrived, I'll go and greet you!" ”

"That's exactly how it should be."

said that it was to welcome, but in fact, it was just standing behind the Chinese army and waiting, after all, it was not far from the front army and it was the anti-army, how could the commander of the army leave lightly?

A moment later, Liu Hong's car appeared in Xu Rong's sight.

After a while, Liu Hong came to the place of the Chinese army, and looking at the energetic Wushuang army, Liu Hong nodded secretly.

Then he said, "Order the army to arrange trebuchets and prepare to attack the city." ”

"No"

With Liu Hong's order, the army suddenly took action, and the rebels on Yuhang City saw this, "Could it be that the Han army is waiting for reinforcements from the emperor of the Han Dynasty?" ”

"Impossible, the army of the emperor of the Han Dynasty also came from afar, what is the use of waiting?"

At this time, twenty trebuchets had been placed in place, and Xu Rong immediately ordered the army to step forward.

The ten thousand people of the front army suddenly held their shields and slowly walked towards Yuhang City, followed by dozens of wells, which were more than ten meters high, which was much higher than the city wall in the south.

Therefore, it immediately put heavy psychological pressure on the anti-army.

After Liu Hong missed a side, he returned to the car, after all, he was afraid of the layman commanding the insider, and Liu Hong didn't want to lose the first battle of his own personal campaign.

As for the battle to exterminate the barbarians, Liu Hong didn't see it as his first battle, after all, he didn't even miss faces.

Xu Rong looked at the rebels in Yuhang City, and sneered, "Order the catapult to launch." ”

"No"

"Whoosh"

Twenty trebuchets were launched at the same time, which immediately caused chaos in Yuhang City.

These twenty catapults and siege equipment such as wells were all built in Wanling, after all, coming from Luoyang with siege equipment would seriously affect the speed of the march.

Therefore, in the days of Wanling, in addition to resting the army, it was to build these siege equipment.

Liu Hong was in the carriage, listening to the loud noise of the catapult, and secretly said, "This is the ancient cannon!" And also a very cheap cannon. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Hong couldn't help but think of the famous cheap cannon in later generations - the explosive bag projectile.

This can be said to be a very practical cannon, but Liu Hong can't help but think of an important problem, that is, gunpowder, without gunpowder everything is in vain.

And Liu Hong is not clear whether gasoline can be replaced with unrefined crude oil.

Just when Liu Hong was thinking wildly, the rebels in Yuhang City could be described as like hell.

When the trebuchet was launched, the Han army's well was also powerful.

"Squeak and call the factory ......" As the sound of wooden wheels gradually stopped, dozens of wells of the Han army were a hundred steps away from the city.

"Archery!" With the order of a commander of the Han army, the crossbowmen of the Han army on dozens of wells suddenly faced the city, and there was a rain of arrows.

For a time, there was a mourning in Yuhang City, a counter-general held a knife in his right hand, and shot the arrow that shot at him, and when he turned around, he saw that the anti-army beside him had already fallen a lot, and he was furious in his heart, shouting, "Die with so-and-so." ”

Immediately picked up the bow and arrow on the ground, bent the bow and arrows in one go, and shot at the Han army Qu Chang on a well.

With a "bang", the Han army Qu Chang was shot in the left arm, and the Qu Chang immediately swung his knife to cut off the arrow cluster.

Holding back the pain, he pointed at the general and shouted, "Shoot that general." ”

The Han army on the well heard the words and responded violently, with the response of the Han army here, as if the flood poured in, the arrows were shot intensively to the city, and the anti-general was immediately shot into a hedgehog, this scene made the anti-army in the city panic.

At this time, one of the counter-generals held up his shield and said, "The shield soldiers step forward to cover, and the crossbowmen counterattack!" (Note: I don't see it in books like history books, but the rocket was only used when Hao Zhao repelled Zhuge Liang.) This book will take this.,Of course.,If you can tell not to do it.,There's a rocket at this time.,If you don't do it, you'll change it later.。 )

Just as the general shouted, a boulder suddenly fell from the sky, and the general had no time to react.

"Bump", and saw that the anti-stone was smashed to the ground.

However, the boulder did not directly kill the general, but smashed the general below the abdomen.

Instead, the general wailed, "Give me a good time, give me a good time." ”

However, no one has ever come to give him a good time, after all, there are clusters of arrows and boulders everywhere, who would risk their lives to give a dying person a good time?

As early as the catapult was in full swing, Xu Zhao retreated from the city wall and waited for the battle report in a private house not far from the city wall.

At this time, a general ran to Xu Zhao with an embarrassed face and said, "Your Majesty, quickly withdraw!" ”

Xu Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and then shouted, "The war has just started for a quarter of an hour, so let me withdraw?" What's the use of waiting? ”

"Your Majesty" said with a crying voice, "Your Majesty, you don't know how miserable it is for someone to be hit by a boulder!" was hit by that boulder, don't say that the body is incomplete. I'm afraid that it is also a luxury to save a complete corpse. Your Majesty is afraid that he did not see the personal soldier who protected the last general, and he was smashed into a ball of minced meat! ”

"Shut up." Xu Zhaoqiang held back his discomfort and shouted, "Even so, there are 20,000 soldiers in Yuhang City. ”

At this time, a soldier ran over and said, "Your Majesty, the Han army is attacking the city." ”

"Knock Knock"

The rapid beat of the drum sounded outside the city, and then the earth-shaking sound of rushing and killing sounded.

After the double blow of the boulder and the well, the rebel army can be described as a heavy loss! Even the counter-generals have suffered a lot of losses.

Therefore, when the Han army rushed to kill, there was no anti-army to come out to defend, if it were not for the anti-general's supervising team to drive forward.

I am afraid that Yuhang City has changed hands, but even so, with the assistance of the ten-meter-high well, the Han army also quickly rushed up the city wall and fought with the rebels.

"Bump, bump, bump."

A loud bang spread throughout the battlefield, and as the sound sounded, the gate of Yuhang City crumbled under the collision of the rushing cars.

"Your Majesty, withdraw quickly! The offensive of the Han army was too fierce. ”

Xu Zhao's eyes were red and he said, "Immediately mobilize the south gate, and the north gate defenders will reinforce the west gate, and we must block the Han army." ”

"Your Majesty, the south gate and the north gate have also been attacked by the Han army."

It turned out that when the catapult was powerful, Xu Rong ordered the left and right parts to attack the north and south gates of Yuhang, although outside the west gate was where Liu Hong's car was.

However, Xu Rong didn't think that Xu Zhao dared to lead a large army to attack, after all, in addition to the front of the siege, there were 10,000 horses in the middle of the West Gate, and 20,000 horses in the Tiger Army, a total of 40,000 troops!

When Xu Zhao learned that Sanmen was attacked, he also knew that he could not defend for a long time, and immediately ordered, "The whole army withdraws to Qiantang." ”

"No"
