53. Assault
The day dawned, the brutal war continued, Yan Liang, Zhu Lingjin, Xu Huang and other generals gathered beside Yuan Shang, looking at Yuan Shang with eyes full of war intent, Yuan Shang's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "All departments listen to orders." ”
Yan Liang, Zhu Ling, Xu Huang, and more than a dozen generals hugged their fists and said, "The last general." ”
Looking up to the east, the city was clearly visible from a short distance, and even the faces of the defenders on the towers could be seen.
His eyes swept over the faces of more than a dozen generals one by one, and what caught his eyes was a group of people who dared to fight with resolute faces and spirited eyes.
Yuan Shang's expression was cold, he waved his big hand, and said coldly: "Siege." ”
"Whoa." The generals looked solemn and responded violently.
On Fuyang City, Tian Kai's face was heavy, not far away, bursts of war drums and slogans were clearly audible, he knew that the real war was coming, Yuan Shang couldn't wait, he knew in his heart, he knew in his heart whether he could hold Fuyang City under the overwhelming offensive of the Tiger Wolf Army in Bingzhou, he was not very sure in his heart, in the past two or three years, the brilliant achievements of the Tiger Wolf Army were placed in front of his table, watching it all night, the cold killing numbers were enough to chill his heart.
He was a calm man, and he was not complacent because he succeeded in blocking the enemy army under the city yesterday, and the other side had already caused chaos in the city tower with one of his men and horses, and if the whole army pressed it, with his 20,000 soldiers and horses, he was not at all sure whether he could hold it.
Fortunately, he took precautions, at the beginning of his tenure in Shanggu County, he summoned skilled craftsmen, combined with the terrain, and deliberately built Fuyang into a solid fortress, mobilized a lot of labor, and finally built the urn city into a drip-tight water, all kinds of killing weapons gathered, in his opinion, even if the enemy army is brave and good at fighting, there are four unbreakable iron gates blocked, in the end, it is only the end of leaving a hate to evacuate, this is his self-confidence, but also the most reluctant retreat after giving up the city gate, all kinds of large equipment and killing weapons in the urn city, it is no problem to defend for four or five days, At that time, if there is no accident, their own reinforcements have already arrived outside the city in time, and under the internal and external attacks, even if Yuan Shang cannot be left, it will not be much of a problem to drive him out of Youzhou.
Tens of thousands of tiger and wolf martyrs stopped less than five hundred meters away from the city gate, but saw Yuan Shang draw his long sword and shouted: "Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the tiger and wolf martyrs army has been silent for too long, is it time for the world to marvel at you again, tell me, what is your slogan?" ”
When the tens of thousands of soldiers present heard this, they all cast their hot eyes at Yuan Shang, and under the leadership of generals at all levels, they responded violently: "Use me in the first battle, and I will win!" ”
"Use me in the first battle, use me to win!"
"Use me in the first battle, use me to win!"
"Use me in the first battle, use me to win!"
The sound was neat and magnificent, overshadowing the sound of war drums, and a wave of waves caused the war horses to neigh in the air, shaking the hearts of the defenders on the city tower with a puff of terror, and they all looked at the city with panic.
"It is worthy of the tiger and wolf army that fights the Hu people and runs away when they see the flag." In the corner of the city tower, Xu Rong's face was solemn and he muttered to himself.
On the other side, Tian Kai's face sank again, and several henchmen and generals beside him also had ugly faces, the stronger the enemy, the more unfavorable it was to them, these are all related to their net worth and life, and it is also closely related to them.
Seeing that the soldiers under his command were fighting with intent, Yuan Shang nodded slightly, and the long sword in his hand suddenly fell: "Fight." ”
"Battle"
"Battle"
"Battle"
Generals at all levels responded violently, the officers and men under their command gathered, the horn of attack sounded, and a big battle began.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack."
Under Tian Kai's order, the defenders in the city climbed the city wall one after another, looking high, all pupils shrunk, without any reservations, tens of thousands of tigers and wolves stepped on the war drums, swords and shields, shouted slogans, with a shocking murderous aura, swarmed.
"Trebuchets, ballistas to assist in the siege." Yuan Shang said coldly, and the soldiers behind him rode away, and a moment later, hundreds of hideous-looking trebuchets were pushed out.
Choosing a position, picking an angle, putting a boulder, everything was orderly and very skillful, hundreds of trebuchets instantly formed an offensive, waiting silently, waiting for Yuan Shang's order.
The faces of the defenders of the city changed greatly, they did not see the trebuchet yesterday, they thought that the enemy lacked siege equipment, but they did not expect that only one day, hundreds of hideous trebuchets were aimed at the city wall, the black trebuchets, there were several soldiers next to them, the stone cannon of the size of a watermelon was aimed at the city wall, a chill floated in the hearts of the defenders, hundreds of trebuchets, in the relatively backward era of cold weapons, such as being aimed at hundreds of cannons, that kind of power, so that the city, from the general to the backbone of the small soldiers, As if being targeted by a wild beast, I felt a sense of crisis in my heart.
Tian Kai's face was unusually ugly, Yuan Shang marched quickly, and quietly sneaked into Youzhou, he expected that the other party would not be able to carry large equipment, but when he was targeted by hundreds of trebuchets, Tian Kai suddenly had a feeling of being insulted by a strong man, all the expectations and plans were instantly torn apart, the facts were in front of him, he still couldn't understand, in the case of a rapid march, how did the tiger and wolf army do it, and be able to carry such a heavy siege equipment, and the speed was not affected, he couldn't understand, But Yuan Shang won't give him time to figure it out, he doesn't have much time.
As soon as Yuan Shang's hand fell, the five-color flag waved in the hands of the soldiers beside him, but he saw that the trebuchet not far away made a muffled sound as if it had made an appointment, and the boulders slid through the sky and smashed towards the city wall.
The tiger and wolf army that was heading to the city gate suddenly felt that the sky was dark, and subconsciously looked up, and suddenly trembled in his heart, hundreds of boulders, like meteorites piercing through the sky, such a might, even if the soldiers of the tiger and wolf army have been on the battlefield for a long time, they are also a little afraid, manpower will be infinitely reduced under the terrifying contrast of hundreds of stone throwers, natural disasters are unstoppable, manpower is still acceptable, hundreds of watermelon-sized boulders are thrown out at the same time, such terrible lethality, it is not an exaggeration to call it a natural disaster, everywhere you go, the houses collapsed, the city walls were damaged, Moreover, it is a mortal womb of the flesh.
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground kept ringing, the defenders of the city tower hurriedly dodged, and the soldiers who couldn't dodge were instantly turned into flesh, blood stained the ground, billowing smoke and dust, just a wave of offensive, the defenders who were stoned to death had hundreds of people, and what was more terrible was the destructive power of the battlements, which was hit by a boulder, and it was impossible to leave no traces, and it was a matter of time before it collapsed.
"Kill." Yan Liangjin million Zhu Ling took the lead, and the various units of the Tiger Wolf Fierce Army followed closely behind, threatened by trebuchets, the archers in the city attacked no more than yesterday, and the shuttle arrows were much less, so the speed of the Tiger Wolf Fierce Army was much faster.
"Build a ladder." Among the people, I don't know which general let out an angry roar, and suddenly dozens of ladders crossed the city wall, and the siege men and horses of various departments rushed up along the ladders.
"Fight back, fight back." Tian Kai's face was gloomy, and he kept urging his soldiers to fight back, and from time to time there were boulders smashed over with earth-shattering might, and the soldiers defending the city were helpless, and out of the protection of their lives, they all shrank under the battlements to avoid the attack of the boulders.
