Chapter 61: Tactical Crushing

Jiu Xiantai stared at the sound with straight eyes: he saw a person standing on the bow of the boat not far away, he couldn't see his appearance clearly, he could only see his body clearly: the opposite side was obviously a figure like a bamboo stick, although the armor was gorgeous, and he looked like a little general, but it was far from the legendary Gai Shi fierce general, and he couldn't help but be sure in his heart, it seemed that the rumors were wrong, and he ordered loudly: "The strong crossbowman of the stone throwing vehicle corrects the target, and makes every effort to knock out the other party's raft first and send them into the water." οΌŒβ€

After the stone-throwing operator was ready, Luo Shixin's raft once again advanced more than ten feet and approached the water gate.

At the sound of this order, more than a dozen boulders the size of grinding discs bounced off the catapult and were thrown in the direction where Luo Shixin was.

One of the flying stones may have been coincidental and smashed straight towards the place where Luo Shixin was standing.

In the exclamations and shouts of the officers and men of the two armies, Luo Shixin let out a loud laugh like a bell, "Hold me steady!" He leaped into the air, floating in the air, and slammed his spear into the boulder.

"Bump!"

The spear and the boulder collided violently, and the surrounding rubble splashed everywhere, and the huge flying stone actually made Luo Shixin fly out, and collided with a boulder that followed, and both fell into the water. The boulder fell heavily on the water in front of the raft, and in an instant it stirred up a row of high columns of water, like a crystal wall was erected!

Luo Shixin rolled around freely in the air, unloaded part of his own force, and landed steadily in the middle of the raft.

The raft entered the water more than a foot when it boarded, but due to the influence of buoyancy, it bounced up again in an instant.

The surrounding soldiers are even reminded by Luo Shixin. A few people still tumbled into the water, but soon the surrounding soldiers pulled the raft.

Jiu Health Care was too dumbfounded. Dumbfounded, unable to utter a word.

Arrows that rain down. He couldn't stop Luo Shixin from half a cent: he stood proudly at the head of the raft, casually used his spear to block the flying arrows, and laughed loudly: "Wa Guo'er, how can I Luo Shixin?" ”

Originally, the Wa of the Wa Kingdom was not derogatory. This name originated from the Three Kingdoms period, when the Wei Emperor Cao Rui once conferred the title of Himiko, the monarch of Japan at that time. The word "Wei" goes to the word "ghost" on the right to give up the meaning of "soul", and the word "δΊ»" on the left adds the meaning of "friend" to the exchange. But the Wei State fell, and the Japanese literally took on a derogatory term.

Little Japan didn't know it at first, and it always called itself the Wa Kingdom. Later, after really coming into contact with the culture of the Central Plains, I learned that the Wa Kingdom had a certain meaning of ridicule, so I changed the Wa Kingdom to the Yamato Kingdom.

Luo Shixin's sentence "the child of the Japanese country" has been frustrated by the national pain of long-term health care. Angry and screaming, he ordered all the stone throwers to shoot under the city tower without rest.

Luo Shixin took the lead, and the momentum of the Tang army increased greatly, and the soldiers all paddled desperately and fought bravely. On the contrary, when the Yamato soldiers on the upper floor of the city saw this situation, they were not without anger, and all sides were greatly affected, and they did not obey the orders handed down as in the past, and obeyed the orders quickly.

Kudai gave orders again and again in an attempt to stabilize his position. But with little success.

Just when Jiu Health was sweating profusely, the Tang army, which was about to approach the Water Gate, suddenly did not move, and instead of continuing to advance, they began to move backwards against the current.

Jiu Kang's eyes were too wide to understand, and he didn't understand what was going on.

"Your Excellency. Your Excellency......" A soldier beside him suddenly exclaimed loudly, his tone full of confusion.

Jiu Yitai followed the direction of his finger, and as far as his eyes could see, groups of neat soldiers appeared in their sight like divine soldiers descending from the sky: the Tang army's neat column was dozens of zhang away. They were clustered with dozens of stone-throwing trucks directly in front of them.

Naturally, it was impossible for the Tang army to fall into the sky, but they lurked nearby with the help of the fog: and then Luo Shixin used his body as bait. Draw their attention to the waterway, ignoring the opposite shore not far away.

This dissipates as the dust fog dissipates. Tang Jun appeared in front of them unexpectedly as if he had fallen from the sky.

"Panic what!" An ominous premonition welled up in Jiu Zhitai's heart, and he cheered up his subordinates loudly: "The Tang army is far away from our army, and they can't fly with wings, and the stone-throwing cart is no longer within range, so I'm afraid of ......" He was about to say what he was afraid of, but before he finished speaking, a flying stone flew from the front and hit the rear of the giant crossbow beside him, killing the giant crossbowman behind him on the spot.

The shattered stones shot in all directions, and there was a sudden exclamation on the city tower, and there was a mess.

Hisashi looked at the crossbowman who smacked the boulder into the air, and the ominous premonition was even worse: Was it luck or not?

He hadn't come up with a reason yet, so countless flying stones kept smashing on the city wall, and the landing point was far and accurate, and the power was not very great, but it was better than the intensity.

The landing points of the flying stones are all near the giant ballista of their stone-throwing vehicles without exception, and the hit rate of the stone-throwing vehicles is not easy to control, but the Tang Army's stone-throwing vehicles have a hit rate of four or five percent, which is extremely terrifying. Their stone-throwing trucks and ballistae had no time to turn and move, and they smashed and destroyed flying rocks one after another. The operator of the giant ballista of the stone-throwing car was hit one after another, and his brain burst to death on the ground.

In the smoke, the splatters of rubble cut a large wound on Kuyota's face, and blood flowed down and stained his armor red.

Jiu Jian was too frightened to lean his back against the city tower, glanced left and right, and saw a terrible scene, many soldiers around him let the cannon stones hit, the tendons were broken and fractured, and they died in a strange shape, the key is that the catapult and the giant strong crossbow have destroyed the Tang Army's stone throwing vehicle, and the rest can be used incompletely, and it can't last long.

Watergate is falling......

This is the only thought that comes to the mind of Kuyo Tai.

The offensive and defensive warfare of the Water Gate is different from the land warfare, the main combat strength of the Water Gate is long-range equipment, and the most critical thing is the stone throwing vehicles and strong ballista vehicles, and their stone throwing vehicles and strong ballista vehicles are almost completely destroyed, which is equivalent to having no power to fight back and suppressing the parties.

At this moment, Jiu Zhitai Fang figured out everything, Luo Shixin or something was a bait, not only to attract their attention, but also to give him the opportunity to capture the thief and capture the king, so that he could expose all the catapults and giant crossbow positions on the city tower, but the hidden Tang army set up catapults in the back, recorded their positions one by one, and destroyed their catapults and crossbows with an extraordinary hit rate.

But he couldn't figure it out...... Where did the Tang Army get such a sophisticated stone-throwing car...... All kinds of questions lingered in his mind.

He wanted to probe his head to quietly the movement of the Tang army, and as soon as this side poked its head out of the battlements, a strong wind had arrived in front of him. He hadn't reacted yet, and there was no future......

Retracting the Broken Bow, Luo Shixin gave the order to attack......

The way of using soldiers, those who are good at surprise, infinite in heaven and earth, inexhaustible in rivers, and say that those who make good use of strange are all strange, and those who are good at using right are all right.

The real wise man is not the one who is wise and foolish, and the real soldier is not without any rules and regulations, and is not bound by Qizheng.

Although Luo Shixin has not reached that realm, he also has the wisdom to do the opposite.

Jin Hongze proposed to attack Ximen because Ximen had obvious weaknesses. Because of the breakdown of funds, some of the city towers in Xicheng cut corners, and they couldn't support it for long if they encountered the fierce bombardment of artillery stones.

This kind of thing is not a secret in Silla, and Kim Hong-taek said it so directly because he had a clear conscience, and it was the state that could not come up with the funds, not that he embezzled the money in it. Yamato is not stupid as a pig and does not guard against weaknesses.

When patrolling the city to observe the defense of Nishiharakyo, he had already noticed that the guards of the West Gate were obviously tighter with his many years of military experience, but on the contrary, the defense of their East Gate was somewhat insufficient. Because the East Gate Water Gate has the most dense stone throwers and strong ballista cars, with these city defense weapons, it is natural that the troops are less.

The West Gate was well defended, and Luo Shixin naturally would not attack the West Gate stupidly, so he chose to attack the East Gate in the opposite direction.

Of course, there are many problems to face in attacking the East Gate, so it is a fantasy in Jin Hongze's opinion.

Luo Shixin knows very well that many classic battle examples are turning decay into magic, groping for ways from the Arabian Nights, and thus becoming legends.

In the past, Han Xin destroyed Wei and crossed the river from Xiayang with wooden basins and barrels instead of boats, and attacked the Wei capital Anyi, thus succeeding in a war. Rothson did not have a usable raft in his hands, so he followed this method and assembled a raft from barrels, door panels, and various floating objects such as wooden stakes.

When he was in Goguryeo, he had already noticed the foggy climate here, and he specially asked Kim Hongze and the older generation of Silla about the fog in Xiwonkyo. Knowing the exact situation, Luo Shixin formulated such a tactic. Of course, the most critical part of this tactic was to destroy the siege weapons of the East Gate, and their siege weapons of the Tang Dynasty were all in Goguryeo and did not carry them with them.

The catapults in their hands were all called by the state of Silla Jose, and the power of the catapults in Silla was very average, and the hit rate was even lower and scary.

Fortunately, Luo Shixin brought with him a group of excellent craftsmen such as Jiang Xingben, who improved the structure of the catapult after several minor changes. The performance of the catapult has increased dramatically, and there has been a significant improvement in all aspects. In order to increase the range, the wheel-like boulder was specially abandoned, and the flying stone the size of a sea bowl was prepared for the catapult, although the power was much smaller, but the range was longer.

Their main purpose is to destroy the enemy's catapult crossbows, and they do not demand power.

Seeing that the enemy general thought that his bow and arrow would be killed, Luo Shixin gave the order for a general attack.

This time, the Tang army no longer used small flying stones, and all kinds of giant cannon stones roared towards the city.

Seeing that the head of the city was completely suppressed by the cannon stones, Luo Shixin originally turned back the soldiers he used to lure the enemy, and instantly turned into a sharp arrow chasing souls and plunged directly into the enemy's heart......

The Tang army rarely attacked cities by land and water, but they did this training when they were training. Although it is not as skilled as the infantry siege, it is also very easy.

The key enemy has no room to fight back at this moment.

The fall of the East Gate of Xiyuan Jingdong......
