Chapter 387: Siege
There is a contingency for everything.
Any negligence on the battlefield can cause irreparable damage.
Qin Huaidao would never allow himself to make mistakes, and looked at Niu Jinda and admonished: "General Niu, wait for the siege troops to fight and occupy the four city walls, lead 5,000 archers to bring more feather arrows to support, the city walls will be a little crowded, remind everyone not to affect the performance of the five armies, just assist." ”
"Understand, the last general must explain carefully." Niu Jinda knew the importance and solemnly agreed.
Qin Huaidao nodded, deduced the plan again in his mind, and said after leaving nothing to omission: "Everyone, the key to this battle, whether it can succeed or not depends on two points, first, whether the archers can clear the rebels on the city wall in five rounds of shooting and provide convenience for the siege troops; Second, whether the besieging troops can quickly clear the rebels on the city wall after going up, seize and hold the favorable terrain. ”
"Please rest assured, the general, swear to complete the task." The crowd shouted.
"Okay, if Heicheng can fight a battle, General Ben will definitely ask for credit for everyone, please." Qin Huaidao became emotional, if he could really win in a battle, the rebels would not be able to jump for a few days, and he would be able to return to Chang'an, thinking of He'er in Chang'an City, he didn't know what to do? A little warmth inexplicably welled up in my heart.
The next moment, Qin Huaidao shouted solemnly: "All armies are preparing quickly, and they will attack the city in a quarter of an hour." ”
"Obey!" The generals received their orders and left in a hurry.
Walking out of the Chinese military tent, Qin Huaidao looked at the sky to the west, the remnant sun was like fire, the sunset was like blood, there were mountain eagles hovering in the sky, and they flew away with a strange scream, and they felt that the big war was about to start, a gust of wind was blowing, and the vast grassland grass was also feeling the coming of the breath of the war, running indiscriminately in fright, ups and downs, and panicking.
"General, what am I going to do?" Su Dingfang came over and asked in a low voice, everyone has a task, so it's okay to be idle with the army, Su Dingfang felt that he couldn't explain it to his brothers.
"Want to make a meritorious service?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.
Su Dingfang smiled and explained: "It doesn't matter if the general is the end, the main thing is that it is not easy for the brothers to come out with them, and if you want to make more meritorious contributions, you will not be told that our supervision office is incompetent." ”
The pro-army is just a temporary title, everyone is from the Supervision Mansion, Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "Of course, the prestige of the Supervision Mansion cannot be lost, you don't say that the general will also arrange it, in this way, you personally go to General Niu to borrow cavalry, how many are counted, it is estimated that it will not be too much, and then find General Niu Tong to ask for some, concentrate, and wait for the rebels to escape from the city, mainly the pro-army, with the assistance of other government soldiers, follow and kill, specialize in the baggage troops, leave grain, grass and finances, and the rebels are not afraid to flee into the grassland." ”
"The general is wise, there are too many rebels, it is impossible to eat them in one bite, without food, grass and finances, they will only harm the Turks if they flee to the grassland, or be swallowed by the Turks, dog eats dog, let's sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, and the last general will find two Niu generals here, and General Xie will be fulfilled." Su Dingfang was overjoyed, solemnly hugged his fists, and hurried away.
Qin Huaidao looked at the army that was preparing to attack, his eyes gradually fell on Heicheng, and waited patiently.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly.
"Dongdong, Dongdong!"
The drums of war roared, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the offensive began.
The rebels in the Black City heard the drums and looked sideways, wondering why they were still attacking when it was dark? Contrary to everyone's cognition, countless people stood by the wall battlements and watched, pointing, and when they saw a large number of archers coming up, everyone laughed, and the archers couldn't climb the city wall, what did they come up for, wasting arrows?
"Arrow proof!" I don't know who yelled.
The rebels on the city walls crouched down to dodge, with the walls to cover them and shields, it was difficult to shoot unless the arrows rained vertically.
Siege is nothing new, they have been experienced too many times, some are experience, seeing that the opponent does not even have a ladder, he can't climb up, he hides well, and he doesn't even bother to counterattack.
It's a pity that this time I met Qin Huaidao, not according to common sense to play cards, others will attack the city will also use archers first, but generally after shooting back, the infantry will go up, this time is enough for the defending troops to re-seize the city wall, ready for battle, but Qin Huaidao uses bows, foot two arms to fight together.
"Peng!"
Tens of thousands of archers shot, and when they came up, it was a round of archery, and there was no counterattack, and everyone fought very calmly.
Tens of thousands of arrows roared away, covering the sky, like a large dark cloud pressing down on the realm, with a terrible sound and whistling straight in the direction of the city wall, drawing a terrifying parabola and then landing.
"Ahh
Heart-rending screams rang out, one after another, one after another.
The archers of other armies attacked the city, as long as they shot into the city, but Qin Huaidao asked to shoot at Chengtou Mountain, although not necessarily all hits, but most of them were hit, and they were used to throw shots, countless people were shot, although the rebels used shields to cover the vital points, but it was also uncomfortable to shoot hands and feet.
A small number of feathered arrows crossed the city walls and landed in the city, and many of them were also shot.
Before the rebels could react, another round of feathered arrows attacked.
The rebels realized that something was wrong, and countless archers came forward to fight back, only to find that the opponent had three people with shields to cover, and it was useless to shoot a few arrows, but instead
It was his side that showed his head, and many people were shot and fell.
The archers confronted each other, and the rebels were defeated when they came up.
After the five rounds of feather arrows attacked, the city wall was in a mess, and there were few people who could stand, and a large number of reinforcements in the city rushed up to take over the defense, but the feather arrows continued, continuing to cover the city wall, and the rebels who shot did not dare to come up.
The city wall suddenly became strange, and waves of feathered arrows fell, but there was no one to be seen.
The siege troops were dispatched, countless people rushed forward with the ladder, came to the city wall and quickly set up the ladder, followed by the soldiers with their hands and feet, struggling to climb up, with a shield behind them, there were archers who were not strong enough, the feather arrows failed to shoot on the city wall, and they hit everyone, and they were blocked by the shield and escaped a catastrophe.
Soon, a large number of soldiers climbed the city walls.
The archers, who had long known the military order, stopped shooting arrows one after another, and watched with anticipation as their men climbed up.
Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, in order to let the soldiers go up as soon as possible, he built five hundred cloud ladders, one hundred for each army.
Five hundred ladders are five hundred passages.
Taking advantage of the emptiness at the head of the city, the soldiers swarmed up, one by one, quickly occupying the city wall, and shooting at the rushing rebels.
The rebels also realized that something was wrong, and rushed up the steps with their lives, and if there were no repeaters, they could have rushed up with more people, slashed the besieging troops, and dodged the city walls again.
However, the crossbows were frantically out, blocking the rebels who were also desperate.
More soldiers rushed up and quickly joined the battle, and the rebels fell one after another, unable to rush up.
After a long time, more soldiers rushed up, killing the rebels and leaving a large number of corpses to retreat, and the army masters would quickly unfold according to Qin Huaidao's deployment, advancing along the city wall, and no one went down to pursue the rebels.
The unconventional style of play made the rebels a little confused, and everyone rushed up, shouldn't they attack down and seize the city gate? What kind of fight is it to clear the people on the city wall?
There was no shortage of capable people in the rebels, and they quickly reacted, and as soon as the city wall was lost, even if everyone was surrounded in disguise, it was not safe to hide in the city, so they quickly organized people to go up to the city wall and go up to support.
But the city wall is so big that it can't accommodate too many people, and the advantage of troops can't be brought into play.
The siege troops used a two-stage attack, the crossbow lost its crazy output, and the rebels who were killed fell one by one, like cutting leeks, no one could stop them, and they were crushed all the way.
Outside the city.
Qin Huaidao saw that almost all the soldiers and horses of the five roads climbed the city wall, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, rode forward, and found Niu Jinda, Niu Jinda also felt incredible, fought a lifetime of battle, at this moment only to find that the siege can be so big, seeing Qin Huaidao coming, clasping his fists and saluting, and said sincerely: "The general is like a god, and the last general is impressed, the same is the siege, the same is the archers, the ladder, the sword soldiers, we will only take turns, but the general can think of going on at the same time, it seems that the change is not big, but it is infinitely useful." ”
"General Niu, don't praise it, let people prepare, bring more feather arrows to go up for backup, General Ben is worried that the siege army is not enough." Qin Huaidao reminded.
"Please rest assured, the general has already been prepared, just waiting for the signal to take the city wall."
"Almost, let's go." Qin Huaidao said with a smile, extremely trusting the Fifth Route Army.
Niu Jinda is also an experienced veteran, hugged his fists and saluted, and quickly arranged to go.
At this time, Shi Yeshan and Niu passed, the two clasped their fists and saluted, Shi Yeshan preemptively said: "General, fortunately, I am not dishonoring my mission, but the brothers can't watch, please give another order from the general." ”
"That's right, the general gave the order, and our army can't watch it." Niu Tong also invites the war road.
Qin Huaidao smiled: "I'm looking for you, Shi Yeshan." ”
"In!" Shi Yeshan hurriedly clenched his fists, his eyes were fanatical.
"Bring the archers, gather the others to assemble at the north gate, and wait for the rebels to escape from the city and rush to kill, the opportunity is given, whether you can catch a big fish or not depends on yourself." Qin Huaidao said with a smile, Shi Yeshan's light cavalry has expanded by 10,000, and three or four thousand archers have been transferred to help cover the siege, and there are still a large number of soldiers and horses on standby in the rear, idle and wasteful.
Shi Yeshan was overjoyed, his breathing became short, if he could capture the leader of the rebels alive, it would be a great achievement, the first battle was famous all over the world, the opportunity was rare, not to be missed, and said excitedly: "General Xie is complete!" ”
"General?" Niu Tong is no longer settled.
"Go together, try to catch the big fish, there is someone else in charge of the rebels' baggage." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"General Xie is complete." Niu Tong was overjoyed and hurried away.
