Chapter 128: Shelling the Chu Army
As soon as the Western Chu army approached the city wall, there were random arrows.
The Great Wei soldiers on the city wall were suddenly hit by many arrows, or fell backwards, or fell directly off the city wall.
Corpses were piled up under the walls.
Most of those corpses were from Western Chu, but there were also many Great Wei soldiers.
The corpses at the bottom were decomposing and emitting a foul stench.
Bang bang bang.
The Western Chu army rushed to the city wall and put many siege ladders on the city wall.
The soldiers of Western Chu were like apes, climbing up quickly along the ladder.
The soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty either used stones or wooden rafters to smash at those Western Chu apes.
Dillon looked up, and under the cover of a large number of soldiers, several catapults approached quickly, and there was even a huge crash car, heading straight for the city gates.
"Archers." Dillon waved the command flag and instructed the archers to shoot rockets at the instruments.
Before the catapult could get close, a boulder had already taken to the sky and smashed into the wall.
When the huge stone hit the female wall, cracks suddenly appeared in the wall.
The newly repaired city wall was riddled with holes in an instant.
The rockets kept coming out, igniting the huge crashing car.
But the warriors of Xichu still desperately pushed the cart to the bottom of the city tower and began to destroy the city gates.
Bang.
The wall on the left side began to collapse after being hit by a boulder.
The Great Wei soldiers on the city wall fell one after another.
Their screams were completely drowned out by the roar.
With a wry smile on his face, Dillon grabbed the spear standing beside him, and shouted, "Soldiers, come with me." As he spoke, he threw the rope from the castle tower and grabbed the rope and slid down quickly.
Seeing this, the soldiers and generals on the city tower all followed, and together with Dillon, they were drowned in the warriors of Western Chu.
On the high ground in the distance, Yelu Zhong was riding on a horse, and his cold eyes had been observing the battle situation.
Seeing the collapsed city wall over there, he immediately ordered a major attack.
Several catapults turned around and slammed into the crumbling walls.
It's no longer a problem to take Yunzhou City.
Recalling that he was released by Li Zheng to return to China, Yeluzhong's life was so miserable.
Fortunately, he has a large number of loyal subordinates, these people are his subordinates, but also his brothers.
It was by relying on them that Yelu Zhong was able to turn the situation around and turn the king of Chu into an obedient puppet and take sole control of the state of Chu.
Now he has conquered the five cities of the Great Wei Dynasty, and after breaking the city of Yunzhou, he will be able to directly attack Chang'an, abolish the king of Chu in the territory of Chu, and let Yelu Zhong inherit the unification The call is very high.
Yelu Zhong is now the de facto king of Chu, as for whether he can become the real king of Chu, it is best to wait for the water to come to fruition.
The boulder smashed into the collapse of the wall in succession, and smashed a hole there.
The soldiers of Western Chu rushed to that side.
Dillon was trapped under the city tower and couldn't see the situation over there, but when he saw the movement of the soldiers of Western Chu, he knew that the city wall had been smashed out of the gap.
Lose Yunzhou City, not to mention that you can't explain to Your Majesty, and you have no shame to see your father Di Qing under Jiuquan.
Dillon was full of grief and indignation, and could only vent this anger on Chu Bing.
A spear was in his hand, like a long dragon, constantly piercing through the body of Chu Bing.
But this way of killing the enemy consumes great internal strength.
It didn't take long for Dillon to be stabbed several times in his body, and he was stabbed through the shoulder with a shot, and blood gushed like a spring.
Yelu Zhong smiled, no longer watching the battle, but looked in the direction of Chang'an.
After resting in Yunzhou City for a few days, you will be able to send troops to Chang'an.
There are many treasures in Chang'an City, and after they are looted, the people of Western Chu will not have to worry about food for the next ten years.
"Lord Wang, the Great Wei reinforcements are still fifty miles away from Yunzhou." A spy came galloping on horseback to report it.
Yelu Zhong teased: "A eunuch also wants to lead troops to fight, it's really ridiculous in the world." ”
Bang.
With a loud bang, one of Xichu's catapults was blasted into powder.
The soldiers around the catapult suffered heavy casualties.
The ground is shaking.
The horse beneath him was frightened and ran forward with a neigh.
Yelu Zhong reacted very quickly, and jumped to the ground with a flying body, and when he raised his head, he looked confused.
What was the sound just now?
Boom boom.
The loud bang returned.
But one by one, the cannonballs fell into the Western Chu army, and all the equipment was blown into powder in an instant, and the soldiers were killed and injured countless times.
Not to mention the soldiers of Western Chu, they are all soldiers of the Great Wei, they are all confused at the moment.
"General, this is the gods who have come to help us." A soldier rushed up to Dillon, his face full of excitement.
Although Dillon believed in ghosts and gods, he did not believe that the gods would come down to help them at this moment.
Immortals have the rules of immortals, and they will never interfere in the affairs of the world.
The sound of artillery bombardment continued, and the Western Chu army was left without a master, and they no longer had the heart to attack the city.
Yelu Zhong saw that on the right side, the banner of Great Wei appeared, and at the same time, there were many soldiers, who were approaching quickly.
There were constantly black smoke iron bumps flying towards this side, and when they landed, there was a loud bang, flames rose, thick smoke billowed out, and the soldiers were torn apart, which was unbearable to see.
What kind of weapon is that?
It is more than a hundred times more powerful than a catapult.
Yelu Zhong turned around and asked angrily, "Didn't you say that the reinforcements of the Wei army are still fifty miles away?" ”
The spy fell to his knees, his body trembling, unable to answer.
Yelu Zhong drew his sword and hacked him to death, shouting, "Withdraw." ”
In the face of the Wei army's powerful secret weapon, it would be foolish to continue the siege.
"The Chu army withdrew, the Chu army withdrew." The Wei soldiers on the city wall cheered when they saw the Chu army withdrawing.
Dillon wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but unfortunately his body was bleeding too much and he was a little dizzy.
Wei Xiaobao only came with 10,000 soldiers and horses to relieve the siege, and deliberately let the army march slowly to confuse the Chu army, which obviously had a miraculous effect.
"Overseer?" Dillon saw Wei Xiaobao riding a horse, tears in his eyes, and hurriedly knelt down to greet him.
Wei Xiaobao ran to the front, turned over and dismounted, helped Dillon up, and sighed: "General Di, it's really hard for you." ”
Dillon is not afraid of hardship, he is afraid that he will not be able to defend the land of Great Wei.
Seeing that he was about to be defeated, because of Wei Xiaobao's timely appearance, the tide of the battle was reversed in one fell swoop.
"Overseer, that rumble...... Dillon wondered what kind of weapon it was.
The soldiers in the back came over with cannons, and when they saw the strange shape, Dillon was even more puzzled.
Wei Xiaobao smiled: "This is my homemade cannon, the power is okay, right?" ”
Dillon thought to himself that this power was more than just improvise, it could simply blow up the sky.
The power of that cannon was like a spell cast by a god.
Wei Xiaobao patted Dillon on the shoulder and instructed, "General Di, you are recuperating from your injuries in Yunzhou, and I will deal with the rest of the matter." ”
"Overseer, I can still fight......" Dillon's blood was boiling at the moment, and he only needed to treat his wounds a little before he could continue to kill the enemy.
Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "I have already arranged the rest of the matter, let's go over and see the results." ”
Dillon was puzzled, but he didn't ask.
They followed the direction in which the Chu army fled and moved forward slowly.
"Report." An agent from the East Factory suddenly rode a horse to report.
The spy said, "Yelu Zhong was defeated by General Han and fled south. ”
Guarding the south side is Tian Shuang, who also has ten cannons on hand, and it is estimated that there is enough for Yelu Zhong to drink a pot.
