Chapter 110: All or Nothing
Chapter 110: All or Nothing
In the two attacks, Yeli lost his troops and lost his generals, and the second time was even worse, he thought that the small walled fort under the first battle was so tenacious, and he was driven back without even facing the city wall, and lost more than 300 people, but this also aroused his ferocity and took out his own housekeeping troops.
The soldiers of this army are all from his own relatives, from which he selected more than 1,000 elites, the Kansai Han, who were personally trained by him, not only brave, but also loyal, and have always served as his own personal soldiers. Now he understands clearly that the reason why the city is stubbornly guarded is because the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu patrolled the border here, but was trapped by himself, as long as he captures him, not only can he offset the little prince's killing, but also increase the official and enter the knighthood, and glorify his own clan.
The offensive began with a remarkable outcome, with the first order of the Wild Prophet to push all the wooden oxen and donkeys forward, then five hundred negative soldiers with shields more than half a man high to form a low wall, followed by more than five hundred archers, and then behind them were negative soldiers with regimental cards and ladders, and they had only one task - to pave the way for the elite to rush to the city.
Zhao Ta, who was concerned about the battle situation, saw that the plane was ready to play with his life, and immediately ordered Minzhuang to carry the rolling wood and thunder stones, strengthen the battle shed, lay a layer of wooden planks on it, and cover it with a layer of wet felt, and hang down the end facing the enemy to block the stray arrows to prevent injury, and at the same time transfer the forbidden army to hide behind the city tower, holding a spear with a short knife and an axe, ready to fight with the enemy army who landed in the city.
With the lesson of the previous one, the Xixia soldiers knew that the closer they were to the enemy, the safer they were, and the cars were all pushed fast, just like today's all-terrain cross-country race, but he looked at another sentence 'The gun shoots the first bird' Whoever runs fast will be shot first... Next on the field were the shield bearers, the heavy wooden shields were covered with double cowhides, nailed with iron leaves, although the sinking point, danshi made them feel at ease, lined up in two horizontal lines with shields, followed the chariot and shouted the trumpet, kept the formation and ran fiercely, and the archers also followed closely with curved bows. Behind them are the ladders, and a group of twenty people trotting with a three-zhang high ladder, ready to set up a ladder to attack the city at any time. The elites had just drunk the 'guillotine wine' one by one, and they blushed and struck the shield with their swords and sang unintelligible songs and marched forward in unison, and all the cavalry pressed the formation, one was to prevent someone from running back, and the other was waiting to break through the city gate so that they could rush in!
In the face of the ant-like siege team, Zhao Ta's guards immediately showed their lack of experience in facing the enemy, they were not afraid at this time, but like lions that rushed into the zebra herd, as if they could bite one to death with a random mouth, Danshi's eyes were full of dazzling 'striped shirts', but they didn't know which one to bite. In the same way, in their eyes, the city is all shot, but they can't figure out who to hit first, and it's very important to think about which target to look at, so they started shooting under the orders of their respective captains, you think about more than a hundred guns, in the face of a team of thousands of people, although each shot can put down a few, but it is difficult to form a firepower advantage, the enemy's 'small car squad' quickly crossed the 'firewall' and rushed forward...
Zhao Ta now stood tall and looked far away, and immediately found that the situation was unfavorable to his side, and immediately issued an order to let the guards deal with the enemy's 'cattle and donkeys', and after cleaning them up, he turned to the archers, and then ordered the archers of the defending army to come forward and focus on attacking the enemy's cloud echelons, and used arrows to block the trenches and bridges erected by the enemy on the trenches, without ladders, even if those elites turned into monkeys, he would not be able to go to the city.
The change of tactics turned the tide of the battle, and the 'small car squad' was wiped out again, but the shield bearers of the Xia army took the opportunity of the transfer of firepower to cover the archers who quickly entered within a hundred steps of the city, and tied the shields to the ground one by one, forming a wooden wall, and released arrows to the city. …,
Ye Li soon found out that the situation was not good, and ordered to release arrows to suppress the archers at the head of the city, and cover the cloud echelon through the trenches, but now the archers are complaining, they are shooting arrows from the city to the top of the city, and they must stand up to do it, and often as soon as the head appears, the city is a flash of fire, and then there is a burst of noise, and they have to lie down a few on their side, and the wound is the same as the one in front, and there are no arrows in sight, just a thumb-thick blood hole outward' They began to wonder if there were immortals who helped their opponents defend the city and used some immortal methods. You can't escape, there's a demon behind you wielding a big blade and waiting, you can only curl up behind the shield, you can't be forced, so you put a few arrows randomly, as for where to shoot, only the ghost knows the way!
Ye Li saw that his attack was about to fail again, but after all, he was a veteran of the battlefield, and he quickly saw the key to the problem, that is, the ladder could not be erected, and the reason why it could not be erected was that the attack surface was too narrow to cross the moat. After finding out the reason, he immediately ordered all the negative soldiers to step forward together, push all the destroyed wooden oxen and wooden donkeys into the trench, and vowed to fill the trench!
Seeing the double pressure of the great reward and the ruthless military law, the soldiers risked their lives to carry out a general cleaning, threw the vehicles, dead men, and dead horses into the trench, and saw that they were not yet full, and dragged a large tree to fill it, so as to smooth out the trench. Then Yeli let out the archers and ordered them to risk the harassment of 'unknown weapons' to suppress the firepower of the city, and the cloud echelon set up a cloud ladder under the city, and the pro-army team responsible for the siege of the city was worthy of being elite, and seized the opportunity to advance separately in the situation of stragglers to avoid the occurrence of mass deaths and injuries...
Zhao Ta looked at the fierce battle on the battlefield, human life may be the cheapest thing on shijie at this time, the two hundred steps in front of the city are covered with dead corpses, it can really be described as one step and one corpse, one inch of land and one inch of blood, the yellow earth has become red earth, and the shouting and killing of the besieging enemy soldiers has changed its tone, like the howl of a wild beast, and the hair of the people is rising, and the heart is agitated.
Now the scouts in reserve were all pressed down, the guns rang out to a point, the barrels turned dark red, everyone had emptied all the cartridges on their bodies, it was a full hundred rounds, and they had to separate a part of the ammunition to fill it. But at this moment when the firepower was weakened, the enemy's cloud echelon Yijing rushed to the city, entered the shooting corner and set up a cloud ladder, and on the way they attacked, more than 2,000 people lay down, which can be said to have rushed to the city by stepping on the corpses of their companions.
Zhao Ta sighed, ordered the guards to retreat, replaced the forbidden army and prepared for hand-to-hand combat, he looked at his elites, their little faces were blackened by gunsmoke, and their hands were nervously trembling by the recoil generated when they were shot. Although no one was killed, Danshi was injured not a few, most of them were scratched by stray arrows, but there were also a few injuries that were not light, and there were arrows stuck in their shoulders and chests, but they gritted their teeth and survived until now, but everyone was in good spirits, and they smiled bitterly at the prince. Zhao Ta knew that this was not the time to feel sorry for them, so he sent the seriously injured down to the city, and the rest of the people had to be kept as reserves, and now Ding Zhuang in the city was all in the city, and there were no more available soldiers in his hands!
The fierceness of the battle also gave Zhao Ta a vivid moment, and many city defense tools that he had never heard of or even heard of opened his eyes. In fact, this is a general term, which includes wooden slots, mud slots, brick slots, car foot slots, 'staying guests', and the vicious 'wolf tooth swatter', this thing is full of five inches long, six taels of wolf tooth nails 2,200, and there are bladed knives on all sides, pull up and put down like a huge fly swatter, and hit the person that is ten thousand blades to pierce the body.
In addition, there are 'chemical' weapons, lime powder is known to everyone, and you can't open your eyes when you sprinkle it; in addition to this, there are poison gas bombs, listen to the ingredients inside to know that the Tao is not a good thing; even more is the 'golden soup', here are all good things, the main ingredient is manure, dried, crushed, with a sieve fine, and then add half a catty of wolf venom, half a catty of grass and bird head, half a catty of croton, half a catty of soaphorn, half a catty of arsenic, four taels of cats, one catty of lime, half a catty of oil, boil in a pot, and then pour down from the city, not only can burn people half to death, The juice can also penetrate through the cracks of the iron armor, making you grow poisonous sores, even if you are lucky not to die at this time, you will have to rot to death in the future! …,
Zhao Ta also couldn't sit still in the city tower at this time, and when he came to the city, when Bao Ji saw it, he immediately ordered his two sons and nephews to carry two big shields to protect him, and he wore the iron armor of the prince, wielding a big sword to supervise the battle. Zhao Ta looked at the six roads, listened to all directions, and suddenly heard an angry roar, more than a dozen soldiers used a fork to push against the top of the ladder, and overturned the ladder together, and the Xia soldiers on the ladder subconsciously hugged the ladder tightly and inevitably broke their bones and tendons.
Someone screamed over there, Zhao Ta turned his head and looked relieved, one climbed up the ladder, and as soon as he showed up, he was kissed on the head by a hook knife, and the harrier turned over and flew down from the ladder and committed suicide. There was a loud bang, and a soldier holding the originator of a grenade, a thunderbolt, threw it from the city, and if he didn't hold it, he would have twelve pounds, but the formula of this thing was not pure, and it was estimated that it was possible to blow up people and scare people to death. 'Mom' pulled Zhao Ta's gaze again, only to see a Xia soldier who climbed up to the top of the city only showed his face and slipped down and disappeared, leaving a few happy fingers on the head of the city.
Yeli was also ruthless, even beheaded a few retreating deserters, desperately urged the troops to attack, more and more ladders were erected on the city, and some meritorious soldiers threw hooks and ropes to the city, dragging the rope to climb the city. The elite is the elite, with the entry of Yeli's own soldiers on all fronts, the Song soldiers on the head of the city took care of one or the other, and there was a loophole, and a big man finally jumped on the city with a knife, and cut down several Song soldiers one after another, opening the gap...
