Chapter 480: Momentum Like a Rainbow
"Crackle... Poof..."
"Crackling ......"
Less than two hours before the last meal, the sound of firewood burning sounded again, and the tents under Yang Rui's command actually began to bury pots and cook again, you must know that it was July and August, and under normal circumstances, it was not time to prepare meals.
The military discipline of Yang Rui's soldiers is still very strict, and the 150,000 troops stationed under Shouliang City, except for the sound of firewood burning and gathering together, there are almost no other noises at this time, and the military division has issued a ban order from the beginning.
As an ordinary 4th-order Yellow Turban soldier, he was still a little puzzled at the beginning, but after more than a day of siege, he also understood at this time that the army seemed to lack some momentum under the ban, but at a glance, it was like the wolves he had encountered a few years ago, and he could choose someone to devour at any time, which made people feel even more oppressed in their hearts!
At the same time, the bolt pillar also realized that whether it was suddenly burying the pot to make rice, or the strange rushing car that had just been delivered to his side, it meant that the army was about to attack the city!
And the bolt pillar was one of the attackers who was arranged in this strange shape rushing car, and for this reason, he was also replaced with a giant plush stone turtle shield produced in Dashan City. This shield is even more than his height and can protect the whole person.
However, this was the first real siege battle that the bolt pillar had experienced, so he couldn't help but tighten the big shield in his hand.
Although this shield is wide enough and strong enough, it is not only feathered arrows, swords and guns that you have to face in the siege, but also boulders, fire oil, etc., although a large shield can increase the chances of survival a lot. But there are times when it is not in existence......
But the bolt pillar is not afraid of death. In the face of famine and war. If it weren't for the appearance of the Qingzhou Prefecture Mu, their family might have died a few times.
And it is the various measures of the state pastor that made the bolt pillar family finally able to settle down and make a living, and later the state pastor introduced the military service subsidy system, which made the bolt pillar completely relieved, he served in the army alone, and almost the family of four was enough to eat, and even if he died in battle. This subsidy will also last for a long time!
The bolt pillar tightened the big shield in his hand again, even if he didn't let it go when he was eating, it wasn't entirely because he was nervous, he wanted to use the battle to maintain the good days now, and he wanted to use the battle to maintain the good state pastor who brought this qiē!
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The war drums of the offensive have finally sounded!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
With the issuance of the order to march, the morale of Yang Ruijun under Shouliang City was instantly detonated, and the previous silence turned to the other extreme, not only shocked the defenders in Shouliang City to pale, even their own soldiers were secretly frightened by this sudden outburst of momentum, but it was quickly transformed into high-spirited self-confidence......
"Kill!"
Rendered by the atmosphere. The bolt pillar held a shield in one hand and held the handrail of the corridor with the other hand and rushed firmly to the top floor. Soon after, they slowly moved towards the city wall with the rushing car.
The newly manufactured punch car in the army is as high as 12 zhang, 6 zhang wide, 8 zhang long, it can be described as a behemoth, there are more than 20 layers in total, each layer is set up around the cowhide shield, and reserved arrow windows, gun holes, and hard doors for soldiers to enter and exit, so that the soldiers who hide in it attack the city wall or the city, or directly rush to the city wall.
The height of the rushing car is comparable to the height of the general high-level city wall, and the wall of Shouliang Castle is only intermediate, with a height of only 9 zhang, so the top five or six floors of the rushing car can condescendingly attack the walls and gates of Shouliang Castle.
The role of the bolt pillar is to use a large shield to resist arrows, boulders, or boiling oil thrown by the enemy, so as to protect the safety of the lower space; At the same time, you can also throw javelins from the top of the city wall to achieve the effect of killing the enemy, creating conditions for the soldiers of the lower layers to climb the city wall.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The soldiers who did not move in the rear shouted hard and rhythmically, and the rushing car where the bolt pillar was located stopped more than ten zhang away from the city wall, and only the middle three rushing cars were still slowly moving forward in the direction of the east city gate.
"Kill!"
The bolt pillar threw out a javelin equipped with a rushing car, and flew towards the dense guards on the city wall, although there was still a short distance, but with the help of condescending inertia, this javelin actually penetrated the two guards at once, which made the bolt pillar excited!
At this distance, the arrows projected on the city wall basically could not attack the top layer of the rushing car where the bolt pillar was located, so there was no need to use a large shield to protect the rushing car, and the bolt pillar took the opportunity to keep throwing javelins one by one at the heads of people on the wall of Shouliang Castle.
"Whoosh"
"Bang bang! Rumble! ”
“”
Only after throwing five or six javelins from the bolt pillar and killing seven or eight people, the top of a rushing car directly opposite the East City Gate suddenly burst out of flames, and a rain of fire roared from mid-air, quickly smashing towards the East City Gate Tower of Shouliang City!
The fist-sized rain of fire is much more powerful than the javelin in the hand of the bolt pillar, and the vicinity of the east gate tower of Shouliang City turned into a sea of fire almost instantly, and the soldiers guarding the city really became ants on the hot pot, and they couldn't escape if they wanted to, most of them struggled a few times and then completely lost their movement, and they fell down in the sea of fire forever!
Seeing this situation, the bolt pillar was also stunned for a while, and it took a while to react, this is the skill of Zhang Ning, the beautiful general of the fire girl!
Previously, I had heard some rumors about how powerful Zhang Ning's fire rain was, and the soldiers liked to call him the fire girl beauty general behind their backs, and even some bold soldiers secretly guessed that the fire girl beauty general would be the state pastor sooner or later.
Of course, the soldiers only dared to spread the word in secret, and there were very few soldiers who could really see this female general, and even fewer soldiers who had seen her fire and rain skills!
At this time, the bolt pillar faced the raging fire on the tower of the city gate, and then looked at the shadow on the three rushing cars in front of the convex convex from afar, and his face was already more rosy with excitement
Anyway, the bolt pillar knows that Shouliang City has no choice but to run away if it is taken!
"Whoosh"
"Bang bang! Rumble! ”
“”
Yang Rui looked at the fire on the city gate tower in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
After using the rushing car, Zhang Ning condescendingly could already easily pour the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain on the walls and gate towers of Shouliang City!
If this were not the case, the opponent's 9 zhang high intermediate city wall and a long-range archer above the 5th rank could exceed Zhang Ning's cast distance, thus interrupting or even threatening Zhang Ning.
At this time, with the power of the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain, there was no need to make the rushing cars in other directions rush hard, so Yang Rui only let three of them convex forward, and did not let the other rushing cars get too close to the city wall. And Yang Rui himself stood by Zhang Ning's side to protect him in case of unnecessary accidents.
"Knock knock!"
"Kill!"
“”
After the fire gradually decreased, the rear of the army was a war drum, and the dense soldiers had already rushed into the dilapidated East City Gate.
At this time, more than 50 rushing cars surrounding Shouliang Castle were also keeping a distance and attacking the guards on the city wall, causing casualties to the guards of Shouliang Castle at all times; On the other hand, there were only a limited number of ranged archers on the walls who were able to occasionally attack the bottom of the rushing cart, and most of them were blocked by the shields of the rushing carts, and almost none of them actually caused damage.
As for items such as boulders, sasswood, and fire oil, they were completely useless due to the limitation of distance, and such items prepared at the East City Gate and the nearby city walls directly became the fuel for the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain!
At the same time, in the case that the situation has been determined, the remaining more than 150 sets of ladders Yang Rui has not been put into use, in contrast, most of the functions of the ladder are only for auxiliary climbing, and it is inevitable to have close combat with the guards on the city wall, which is easy to cause losses.
Therefore, under the current situation that the situation is very clear, Yang Rui did not put it into use.
The shape shì suddenly developed to this point, even if the guards in Shouliang City were no matter how tenacious they were to resist, they were already frightened, and most of the soldiers had already given up the city wall that could only be beaten passively and went to the city to hide, and the four gates of Shouliang City and the sections of the city wall soon changed hands to Yang Rui's siege foot soldiers.
The rest is very simple, although there was a lot of movement in the siege, after occupying the four city walls and gates, Yang Rui still adhered to the principle of reducing the intensity of the battle in the city, and induced and accepted most of the defenders to come and be captured on their own.
The guards had also heard about Yang Rui's treatment of captives in Fuyang County and Wuyan County for a long time, and most of them were willingly captured by Yang Rui, after all, NPC soldiers also spared their lives.
Next, Yang Rui sent his troops to exterminate a small number of recalcitrant defenders, and ordered the soldiers to extinguish the embers at the east city gate, and then came forward to appease the NPC people in Shouliang City, and sent a herald to Ding Yuan, so that he could find someone to take over Shouliang City, etc., and was busy all night.
After half a day's rest, after noon on the second day, Yang Rui once again ordered all the soldiers to pull out the camp and go in the direction of Fan County.
From Shouliang City to Fan County, it is necessary to cross the water to the west, and the threat on the river, Sun Bao and other sailors have already been removed, and a large number of ferries and the like have been prepared.
In addition, the surface forces of the Wanyue Alliance also joined Yang Rui's side to help find ships and transport personnel, so although there was a gap between Jishui and Jishui, it only took one day for Yang Rui's 150,000 troops to cross Jishui.
Next, after Yang Rui's troops went to the city of Fanxian to encircle him, he launched an attack on Fanxian without any stop.
has had the experience of using siege equipment once, and Yang Rui already has the bottom of his heart. Moreover, after the battle of Shouliang City, Guo Jia also knew Zhang Ning's huge role in the siege war, and also favored the first time to attack the city. (To be continued......)
