Chapter 821: Counterattack
"Noβ"
When Xue Wanche saw the Tang people suddenly appearing on the city, he was furious and rushed up.
"General!"
Several division commanders hurriedly rushed forward, held back, and persuaded repeatedly: "General, you can't step forward again, otherwise ten thousand arrows will be fired at once, and there will be danger." β
"The enemy deliberately did this, just to provoke the general to come forward."
"General, the enemy is at present, be calm and not impulsive."
Xue Wanche struggled hard, but couldn't break free, and gradually regained some composure, his eyes staring at the scene on the city were full of anger beating - blood red, cold, crazy!
Taking a few deep breaths, Xue Rengui suppressed his endless anger, separated the two in front of him, and said coldly: "Get out of the way, the enemy army deliberately used this kind of subordinate means to provoke our army, just to let our army attack, and then rely on the strength of the city to kill our army under the city, so it is easy to calculate, but they don't know that our army has explosives packs." β
"What do you mean?" A division commander asked.
Seeing that Xue Rengui had regained his composure, the others let go of their hands one after another, revealing their curiosity.
Xue Rengui said murderously: "The enemy wants our army to attack, then follow their wishes, let's have a plan, go into the city, take it in one fell swoop, and give the order to let all the division commanders come over to discuss the army." β
Someone immediately arranged to go to herald.
A division commander reminded: "Didn't the general say that the King of Han asked for reinforcements? Without Broken Leaves, the Turkic army besieging Moon Bow City may not come back to help, how can they fight? β
"That's right, not to mention that the offensive losses won't be small, and King Han will pursue it?"
Xue Rengui waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "The general should be held accountable alone, there is no need to say more, give orders, beat drums, gather troops, and put the offensive posture for Lao Tzu." β
"Obey!"
"Dongdong, Dongdong!"
The drums of war roared, shaking the heavens and the earth.
The soldiers who were resting got on their horses one after another, lined up, and a killing intent suddenly erupted.
Xue Wanche strode forward for a distance, and shouted, "But the Tang people? In Xiayuan Wu'an County Gong, now the general under the command of the King of Han, came by order, did not know in advance that you were waiting here, since you know, you will send troops to rescue, if you die, I will swear that I will slaughter the city with the funeral, and never break my word. β
"General Xie!"
"General, attack, I'm a Tang man, I'm not afraid of death!"
"Kill all these beasts!"
At the head of the city, excited voices came, revealing endless sadness, unwillingness and anger.
Familiar voices, proof of identity.
Xue Wanche saw that he had guessed correctly, and his heart was burning with anger, but he was no longer impulsive, but solemnly clenched his fists, his eyes were cold, and he secretly swore with the honor of a soldier that even if he died, he would never break his word.
Immediately, Xue Wanche shouted: "Order, archers, shoot at the city for me, interfere with the enemy army, if anyone shoots at the people on the city, Lao Tzu will skin him alive." β
"Yesβ"
"Shoot at the city, and don't hurt the people of the city."
A roar rang out, like thunder.
The order spread quickly, and a large number of archers turned over and dismounted, rushed forward, quickly lined up, and drew their bows.
"Pengβ"
A wave of feathered arrows roared away, tearing through the void with the endless anger of the soldiers, covering the sky and the sun.
The defenders at the head of the city were startled, thinking that the Hanzhou army was going to attack indiscriminately, so they looked for places to hide, and they didn't care about killing the Tang slaves, and they became a mess.
The feathered arrows swept over the city and fell into the city, making a loud noise, like hail falling down on it.
This sudden attack caught the defenders by surprise, and many of them fell from the arrows, making terrible screams and wails, and those who were not hit by the arrows went into the houses one after another, closing the doors and windows, and not daring to come out.
But the feather arrows did not stop, and a wave of whistling came.
Xue Wanche saw that the people in the city disappeared, and he didn't know whether he was killed or taken down, he had tried his best to stop it, and the next thing was revenge, he looked at a cannon battalion brother and shouted: "Little brother, it's up to you, can you blow up the city gate?" There are many gates in the city, and there is a problem with choosing a gate in each direction to blow up? β
"It's just a wooden door, if it's just blown up, a dynamite bag can solve it, no problem."
"That's good, please!" Xue Wanche bowed solemnly.
"Don't dare to be a general's gift, where the duty is, I will arrange it." The other party hurriedly returned the salute.
At this time, the commanders of the various armies besieging the other gates beat their horses, gathered together, and looked at Xue Wanche one after another.
"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu wants to attack the city, listen to it."
Xue Wanche looked around with a cold gaze, and said murderously: "There is no main attack, attack at the same time, General Ben has arranged for someone to blow up the city gate, what you have to do is to suppress with bows and arrows, cover the artillery battalion brothers to go up, as soon as the city gate is opened, kill in, don't take prisoners, do you understand?" β
"Understood!" The crowd shouted in unison.
"If you understand, get out, go back and prepare, remember one thing for Lao Tzu after you enter the city, only kill soldiers, not kill innocents, if anyone takes the opportunity to kill indiscriminately, rob, and ruin the reputation of the King of Han, don't blame Lao Tzu for not being emotional."
"Obey!" Several division commanders who arrived hurried back.
Xue Wanche immediately adjusted the deployment, and transferred three divisions to different city gates, two divisions in each direction to ensure that the strength was not weaker than the enemy, and then arranged one division to be responsible for clearing the enemy on the city, and the remaining one division entered the city and went straight to the center with him.
All 70,000 people were pressed, and with the three-three system, even if there were 100,000 enemies in the city, Xue Wanche would be sure to take it.
"Dongdong, Dongdong!"
The drumbeat of the offensive sounded, low, deep, and shocking.
Xue Wanche stared coldly at the head of the city in front of him, perhaps because he found that the bow and arrow were only shot into the city, and he did not dare to attack the head of the city, the defenders became bold and came out one after another, bending their bows and arrows, preparing to counterattack.
Once you counterattack, your own losses will be large.
Xue Wanche wanted to save people, but he didn't want his soldiers to be killed in vain, so he shouted: "Aim at the head of the city and shoot!" β
The soldiers quickly lowered some of their bows and arrows, and released them again.
A large canopy of feather arrows roared away, instantly crossing the space, frightening the enemy troops who were preparing to counterattack at the head of the city to hide, and many people even instinctively raised their shields to cover the feather arrows.
The feather arrow shot at the shield, and it was aggressive, and the shield made of cowhide covered with hardwood could be blocked, and it was pierced, and the arrow hit the hand holding the shield, and the scream suddenly sounded, like a heart-rending heart.
At this time, a group of men of the guard regiment held large shields in front of them, covering the advance of the two brothers of the artillery battalion.
This scene quickly attracted the attention of the enemy, and countless bows and arrows were fired, but the large shield held by the guard regiment was specially made of steel, and the arrows were shot on the large shield and were bounced, and sparks were scattered.
The people of the guard regiment are very experienced, they quickly lowered their bodies, reduced their exposure, and walked like flying under their feet, and the two brothers of the artillery battalion were the guards beside Qin Huaidao, and their strength was stronger, so they followed closely behind.
The enemy defending the city couldn't guess the deep meaning, but they also knew that they had to step forward in such a desperate way, and it must be strange, so naturally they would not let the Hanzhou army succeed, and immediately mobilized more archers to counterattack.
For a while, the feather arrows smashed on the big shields like a storm, and in the blink of an eye, everyone was nailed with feather arrows, like a jungle.
The explosives package is the most critical step to take the city, Xue Wanche was worried about the loss, and yelled: "Quick, suppress!" β
"Hugh Hugh!"
The enemy and the enemy fired at each other, and neither of them would take half a step back.
The killing is instantly white-hot.
