Chapter 994: Advance, Dingzhou Army (3)

The Dingzhou army did not use their most powerful cannons, but they threw hundreds of trebuchets at a time on the front line that was miles away from the south gate, leaving no doubt that he would use the south gate as his breakthrough. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Under the overwhelming attack of the town's long-range armed attack, Fengli Division and tens of thousands of people in the Violent Bear Battalion spread out and launched a storm-like attack.

Recruits like Tao Xing were used as cannon fodder on the front line, and the only thing they could do with little combat experience was to raise the big sword and spear in their hands to face the wolf-like opponent, and then fall down with hatred. With little difficulty, the first wave of attacks led by Li Shengzhi crushed the first line of defense formed by the eggs of these recruits, and the soldiers stepped on the corpses of the enemy and crossed the trench like a tide.

In front of them were several bastions. Dense hundred-round crossbows, powerful eight-bull crossbows, scorpion cannons and other weapons flew out of the fortress like locusts, and the soldiers who rushed to the front swept to the ground like cutting wheat, and those behind immediately raised heavy shields, or looked for cover nearby, and the trenches dug by the opponents became their best cover at the moment.

Looking up at the fortress in front of him, which was about ten meters high, Li Shengzhi shouted in a deep voice: "Fierce fire oil!" ”

Hundreds of soldiers rushed from the rear, each carrying two ceramic bottles in their hands. "Up!" A lieutenant raised his arms and shouted.

The first dozens of soldiers jumped out of cover like raccoons, running all the way in a zigzag course, dodging the fire from the city, and quickly approached the first bastion.

One hundred meters, eighty meters, fifty meters, forty meters, the first soldier stood up suddenly, shouted, threw the porcelain vase in his hand to the opposite fortress wall with all his strength, almost at the same time, several feather arrows broke through the air, penetrated his body, he shook twice, watching the two porcelain vases that were tied together swirl and hit the fortress wall hard, with a snap, the porcelain vase broke violently, and the fierce fire oil inside flowed down the wall.

Satisfied, he spun his body half-way, facing in the direction of his own army, and fell heavily to the ground.

As the first bottle of fire oil shattered on the wall of the fortress, countless porcelain bottles cut through the sky and fell on the walls and ground of the fortress, and some even fell into the alleyway. An extremely strong smell spread over the fortress.

And the first batch of soldiers who threw the fierce fire oil were almost all buried in the dense rain of arrows from the other side.

"Beware of poison!" The unpleasant smell spread in the fortress, and the Luoyang soldiers, who had never seen the fierce fire oil, smelled this unpleasant and pungent smell, and they all changed color in shock, and they all covered their mouths and noses violently in the exclamation of the officers.

At that time, they immediately understood what these things were.

A group of Dingzhou soldiers rushed out of the bunker, carrying a bow and an arrow on the string that was shocking to be rockets.

In this round of mutual firing with the fortress, only a very small number of Dingzhou soldiers who rushed out and shot rockets retreated alive, but the rockets they shot fell on the fortress.

Then, the soldiers on the fortress saw a thud, and streams of flames rose above the fortress, and the liquid that had just been thrown burned violently.

A Luoyang soldier had just been unlucky, a porcelain vase smashed on his armor, although it did not cause much damage, but at that time the liquid was poured all over his body, at this time the fire rose, and in the midst of everyone's stunned, a little spark splashed up and fell on his body. In normal times, this spark would not be enough to cause any harm to the human body, but now, as the spark fell, with a bang, he turned into a humanoid torch, screaming and scurrying around on the fortress, and everywhere he went, the soldiers were shocked to avoid it.

I don't know who brought a basin of water, and splashed it on the man's body, I thought that the fire would be extinguished with the sound of water, but what frightened everyone was that this basin of water went up, and the flame was more than remembered, and the torch screamed, rampage on the fort, and finally stepped on the air, fell from the fort of more than ten meters, although there was no sound, but the fire was still burning for a long time, and a smell of meat and burnt fragrance made everyone change color.

This burst of fire disrupted the defense of the fort, and the Dingzhou soldiers under the fort took the opportunity to rush up, and the arms were raised, and one by one the porcelain bottles flew up to the fort, and in a moment, the fort fell into a sea of fire.

"Withdraw into the Tibetan soldiers' lanes, withdraw into the fort!" The officer roared and rushed into the alleyway first.

"Kill!" Li Shengzhi roared and rushed out of cover.

The Dingzhou soldiers were very familiar with the construction of the fortress, and they carried bags of sand and soil, aimed at the direction of the roadway, and paved it all the way, opening a passage in the midst of the raging fire.

"The turtle sons want to be rats and burn them!" Li Shengzhi was roasted by the fire and sweated profusely, he didn't want to spend a lot of time and soldiers' lives attacking these lanes, and the lanes in the fortress were horizontal and vertical, and they were extremely difficult to attack, his method was very simple.

"Throw the oil and burn!"

One by one, fierce oil porcelain bombs were thrown into the tunnel, and as a rocket flew in, a fire broke out in the tunnel. The fire flowed inward with the fierce fire oil, and then swept the entire alleyway, and the screams inside were endless, one by one the fire people rushed out from the inside, and the Dingzhou soldiers guarding outside easily solved the pain for these people with bows and arrows, spears, and broadswords.

One by one, the fortress was overcome, the Dingzhou soldiers quickly advanced, most of the day to attack, by the evening, the Fengli division and the violent bear battalion had advanced forward for about five miles, and the outer defense line outside the southern gate of Luoyang had been beaten out of a big gap.

The raging torches lit up the entire battlefield, and the Dingzhou soldiers finally stopped the stormy attack during the day after dark, but stopped and began to stabilize their defensive line, the dead bodies of the enemy soldiers in the trenches were piled together, and the fire burned away, while the soldiers who died on their own side were dragged to the rear, and after writing down their names, they were also cremated and the ashes were collected into wooden boxes, which were immediately engraved with names and confessions, and sent to the rear army.

In September, the weather was hot, and if the bodies of the war dead were not disposed of as soon as possible, they would rot overnight, and the Dingzhou army did not want the plague to be epidemic on the battlefield, so it would make a big joke, and they were not repelled by the enemy, but forced by the plague and disease. Rao is so, the Dingzhou army still does not dare to be careless, a large number of military doctors are still boiling the medicine for the prevention and treatment of plague overnight, one is for the soldiers to drink, the other is to pour on the position, the dead body can be taken away, but after all, there is still a large amount of blood and some stumps and broken arms, which cannot be cleaned.

Luoyang, the former enemy command post, Xiang Ping, Zhan Degong, Guo Fengxian and others are silent, during the day Dingzhou soldiers only in the defensive area of Zhan Degong to prevent the attack, but the process of the battle is witnessed by everyone, although Luoyang guards, recruits occupy most of the time, there are fortresses and defense lines to rely on, the gap between the two sides has been narrowed a lot, but under the opponent's devastating offensive, the Luoyang army is almost resisting, one day of effort, the defense line was torn open a big hole.

"Dingzhou's hundred battles are really not something we can resist!" Zhan Degong lowered his head and whispered. This discouraged sentence did not attract Xiang Ping's rebuke, because he also felt the same way, "General Zhan, it's good to say this in the house, out of this house, we still try to muster up the courage of the soldiers." ”

Zhan Degong nodded with a blank face.

"Lao Zhan, why don't you let Master Hou send you a part of the reserves! It seems that you are the opponent's main attack direction in this direction," Guo Fengxian said.

Zhan Degong shook his head, "No need, these reserves should be left until when they are most needed, after all, the outer defense line is full of soldiers with weak combat strength, and under the attack of the elite Dingzhou soldiers, it is expected that they will be defeated, and the most elite soldiers can only be used when we stay in the siege battle." Lao Guo, you have to be careful over there, although the Dingzhou soldiers have seen my onslaught, but looking at its banner, there are only two divisions of Fengli Division and Storm Bear Battalion, and his most sophisticated Hailing Battalion, Tianlei Battalion, Ruijian Battalion, etc. have not seen it, so we must guard against him and attack the west, and give you a ruthless blow while my attention is here. ”

Guo Fengxian nodded, "Don't worry, I've been prepared." ”

"General Zhan, the enemy attacked fiercely during the day today, and at night, did you send your troops to make a sneak attack? If the opponent is careless, it is not impossible for us to regain the positions we lost during the day? Even if you can't take it all, you can take back some of it! The position was lost too quickly during the day, which was a blow to morale, and His Majesty was also very unhappy! They are all shouting that they are going to go into battle to supervise the battle in person! ”

Guo Fengxian and Zhan Degong glanced at each other, "Master Hou, I'm just afraid that the opponent is on guard, and it will be difficult for us to succeed, but we will lose our manpower?" ”

"How do you know if you don't try? During the day, the Dingzhou soldiers won easily, and negligence was also the proper meaning of the question, they were only afraid that it would be difficult to think that we still had a counterattack, and the enemy couldn't think of it, isn't it our opportunity? ”

Zhan Degang lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Okay, then from the order of the waiting master, I will send a force to fight back!" ”

Guo Fengxian wanted to say something, but seeing that Xiang Ping was already happily discussing with Zhan Degang how to attack and start from there, he couldn't help but close his mouth again.

At the time of the fourth watch, from the forward position outside the south gate, a team of more than 10,000 people was divided into three parts, and the flag died down, and the waist was slammed forward on the battlefield, and there was only about a thousand meters of intermediate area between the two sides.

Xiang Ping, taking the credit, Guo Fengxian and the others stood on top of the city tower, looking at the battlefield nervously, in fact, above their position, they couldn't see anything now.

As time passed, Xiang Ping finally showed a smile on his face, from the beginning to the present, the front has not been exposed, and this attack seems to be successful.

As soon as this idea came out of his mind, he heard a tsunami-like shout erupting in the distance, and the opponent's position, which was just a little bit of fire, was lit up in the blink of an eye, and in the firelight, rows of soldiers appeared, and behind them, the heavy weapons that the Dingzhou army brought up overnight showed their hideous faces.

Guo Fengxian sighed, flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
