Chapter 485: Breaking Xuzhou
This time, the army that King Han attacked was no longer those recruits.
All of them are the elite of the Han army.
In just a few months, the king of Han has already talked about those bandits and rebels to be integrated together for unified training.
Under his training, the combat effectiveness of this group of bandits and rebels soared!
Even, compared to the imperial army, it is not much worse.
Of course, it is not comparable to the Jingying army.
Therefore, when Xie Jin and Zhu Zhanji saw the offensive of those elite soldiers under the city wall, they could probably guess that the King of Han was becoming more and more eager to break through Xuzhou Mansion.
Such a tense situation also doubled the pressure on Xie Jin's master and apprentice.
Countless arrows were shot towards the army of the Han king.
The soldiers who have fallen are countless.
In the past, at this time, King Han would most likely choose to retreat, because he also cared about the casualties of his soldiers.
But now, Xie Jin didn't hear the sound of Mingjin withdrawing his troops for a long time.
This made Xie Jin's heart chuckle.
Then, his face became a little gloomy, and he shouted: "Defend the city with all your might!" ”
"All the soldiers, all climb the city wall, and fight the enemy together!"
The shouting rang out all around.
In Xuzhou City, the soldiers guarding the town also realized the seriousness of the situation.
They no longer hesitated, gathered their soldiers, and poured onto the city wall.
Xie Jin roared angrily: "Defend the city, defend the city!" ”
The soldiers on the city wall also had firm faces, and their eyes flashed with fierce light.
Because they know that behind them, there is their country!
It is the people of Li who need to be protected.
If the city of Xuzhou is broken, the world will be divided into two halves.
This is something that no one wants to see.
Therefore, in the face of King Han's pounce, all the soldiers were holding their breath in their hearts.
This aura prompted them to bravely go up the city wall, tense their bodies, clench their swords, and were ready to sacrifice at any time.
At this moment, Xuzhou City, unite as one!
The people of Xuzhou also realized that if the Han King attacked, if the city was broken, it would bring a catastrophe to Xuzhou, so they were unusually quiet and did not bring any trouble to the government.
On the city wall, dense arrows flew like raindrops.
The infantry of the Han king suffered heavy casualties.
However, there were still most of the soldiers who came running fast with siege engines.
A total of more than a dozen siege vehicles.
The so-called siege vehicle is actually a wooden stake that is sharpened, tied to the car, and then used to hit the city wall.
As a result, the gates will be quickly slammed open.
This is the most effective way to siege the city.
It is also the people who defend the city, and the weapons that are most afraid of appearing.
Including those catapults, they have been throwing stones at the city walls, and they have also killed many defenders on the city walls.
Casualties, all the time.
From the time the Han Dynasty army launched a night attack, the war was directly pulled to a white-hot stage, and it has been heating up.
Catapults will not threaten Xuzhou Mansion yet, but will cause some casualties.
But what about siege vehicles?
Zhu Zhanji took a deep breath and stood beside Xie Jin, looking at the siege vehicles of more than ten years surging under the city with grim eyes.
"These siege vehicles, you can't let them come." Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice.
Turning around, he commanded the guards: "Go, bring my bow and arrows." ”
The guard hurriedly ran to get a bow and arrow.
Zhu Zhanji looked at the more than ten projects, and his eyes showed solemnity.
Xie Jin also stared at the more than a dozen siege vehicles, because he also knew very well that once the siege vehicles approached, the city gate would be broken!
"Are you sure?" Xie Jin asked in a deep voice.
He was asking his disciples.
Bow and arrow, can you shoot that far away.
At the same time, there were dozens of people pushing the cart.
After each cart, once the person pushing the cart is shot, someone will immediately top it behind.
Dozens of people guarding a siege vehicle, can a bow and arrow stop their steps?
This is an unknown, and Xie Jin is also very confused.
Zhu Zhanji grinned, his eyes were cold: "Try it." ”
Soon, when the guards brought the bow and arrows, Zhu Zhanji directly filled the bow and arrows, aimed them at one of the siege vehicles, and fired three arrows in a row, shooting straight over......
On the other hand, on the Han King's side.
The strikers kept pressing.
The infantry kept rushing to the front, and as many as the front died, the rear made up for it.
It's a completely lethal way of playing.
The loss of tens of thousands of soldiers is nothing, and what the King of Han attaches more importance to is Xie Jin's life and Xuzhou City.
Xie Jin blocked him outside Xuzhou City for several months, but only Xie Jin, a strong enemy, died, and Xuzhou City was broken, which solved a big problem for him.
So, with a firm mind, King Han plans to attack in the next few days, regardless of casualties!
However, the main manifestation was the more than a dozen siege vehicles hidden in the infantry group.
Because these siege vehicles are the most important thing.
It was very difficult for the infantry to climb the city walls.
But if you can use siege engines to knock the walls open, it will be much easier.
Therefore, more than a dozen siege vehicles are the main tools.
Seeing more than a dozen siege vehicles advancing wildly, King Han's face also bloomed with joy.
"These elite soldiers are really much easier to use than the eggs of new soldiers, hahaha."
King Han was very happy, and looked at the siege vehicle in front of him with anticipation.
Ping Nan stood beside him, watching the advance of the siege vehicle, and a smile appeared on his resolute face.
"King Han, there is hope for breaking the city this time." Pingnan was a little excited.
King Han grinned: "After dying so many elite soldiers, you can't get nothing." ”
Ping Nan looked up and looked at the rapidly advancing siege vehicles in front of him, and An Sheng flashed a gleam.
The battle of Xuzhou has been going on for seven or eight days.
In the past seven or eight days, it is not a matter of heavy losses, but the battle has been going on for too long.
If you can capture Xuzhou today, it will be a great joy.
However, while the two were discussing, three arrows quickly shot at the infantry pushed by one of the siege engines.
In an instant, three infantrymen fell.
Their corpses were stuck in front of them, making it impossible for the siege engines to push through.
Seeing this scene, the infantry behind immediately exerted force at the same time, and after running over the corpse, the siege vehicle continued to advance.
The dead position, on top of the new infantry.
But at this moment, three more bows and arrows shot straight at them.
Several more corpses fell.
Immediately after that, there were six arrows in a row, and nine arrows in a row!
Every arrow, although it can't hit the enemy carefully, but the hit rate is extremely high!
Zhu Zhanji's archery skills amazed all the soldiers.
In an instant, dozens of infantry from a siege vehicle were directly shot, and the siege vehicle stopped in place.
King Han's eyes froze and looked at the city wall.
Where he was, far from the city walls.
But I can still faintly see a vague figure, shooting arrows!
"Hmph, when did there be a sharpshooter in the Xie Jin army?" King Han was a little displeased.
He instructed a general beside him: "Let the siege vehicles move forward at full speed, and they will definitely break the city of Xuzhou today." ”
