Chapter 242 [Too Many Clever Plans]
Two days later, the second siege began.
Unlike the first time, this time Xie Xiaoyun and other generals of the Xinyi Army were also arranged in the Chinese army, riding horses and standing on Yue Yun's side.
Soon, Xie Xiaoyun saw a slight difference in this siege battle.
The rhythm of the soldiers charging in the front army was much faster than the last time, and the suppression of the crossbowmen was also more fierce.
"Many of the sergeants who attacked Nanshan this time were generals with martial arts and generals who led the charge."
Seeing that everyone had doubts on their faces, Yue Yun stroked his long beard lightly and explained loudly.
Everyone was relieved when they heard this.
"Today, we must take Nanshan in one go, so that it will be much easier to attack Yangcheng."
Yue Yun waved his hand as he spoke, and suddenly nearly twenty bed crossbows and ten stone cannon carts were pushed up.
Under the tremendous power of bed crossbows and stone cannons, the Ji army's defense line that was defending Nanshan was soon torn out under the brave impact of the Han army.
"The day before yesterday, it was already tested that the Ji army was not strong enough, so the defense line laid in Nanshan was not as solid as imagined, presumably just to delay time, although Nanshan is important, but after all, it is not as easy as holding the city wall, they must put their living forces on the defense of the city."
"So it's not difficult to attack the mountain, it's still the Yangcheng city wall, and after the appetizer, it's the main meal."
Yue Yun's lieutenant reined in the somewhat restless war horse under his seat and explained to everyone.
"Actually, Nanshan is not as simple as you think, this place has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Yangcheng guards and helps each other, but Ji people have always been not good at defense, I don't understand, once we take Nanshan, our siege battle will be much easier."
Yue Yun looked at the soldiers who were constantly rushing up Nanshan and said slowly.
"Don't worry, marshal, with my Perak Hall disciple here, I'll go and blow up the defenders on the city wall later! Siege is easy. ”
A rough-looking man smiled confidently.
Xie Xiaoyun knew that this person's name was Lei Xiao, and he was a branch master of the Perak Hall, and this time he led nearly thirty disciples to come to the aid and was assigned to the assault camp.
"With the words of the Lei Hall Master, Yue will wait for the Hall Master's performance when he attacks the city."
Yue Yun arched his hand and smiled.
The imperial court has always studied the actual combat application of gunpowder, but the power has always been unsatisfactory, and it cannot reach the earth-shattering damage of the Thunderbolt Hall, and although the gunpowder of the Thunderbolt Hall is extremely powerful, it needs to cooperate with the martial arts of its own sect, and even if the imperial court buys it, no one can use it.
"Marshal Yue, rest assured, although my martial arts skills are not as good as the generals here, but when it comes to destructive power, we are second in the Thunderbolt Hall, and no one dares to admit the first."
……
After nearly an hour of attacking the mountain, the Yue family army finally rushed to the top of Nanshan, and after half an hour of short combat, they finally took the ownership of Nanshan.
"Let's go! The people will follow me up the mountain! ”
Yue Yun took the lead and marched towards Nanshan.
After climbing Nanshan, Xie Xiaoyun raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and he had an unobstructed view of Xiangyang City.
"No wonder if you want to attack Xiangyang, Nanshan must be taken, I see."
Xie Xiaoyun looked at the Ji army that was busy like ants on the city wall in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, the Ji army is not good at defending the city, and it was so easy to give up Nanshan to us, and we can roughly see the level of the other party's generals, such as today, the location, the people are all on our side, and we will win this battle!"
Shi Zhaoyu didn't know when he walked to Xie Xiaoyun's side and looked at him side by side.
"Brother Zhaoyu has such a unique opinion, what is the best plan for attacking the city?"
Xie Xiaoyun glanced sideways at Shi Zhaoyu and asked.
"Clever plan, too many......"
