Chapter Forty-Eight: The Bloody Battle of Guangling County (Part II)

"Kill! Kill! ”

"Whoever takes half a step back!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Fight to the end, never surrender!"

Up and down the city of Guangling County, Yan and Xia are at war, the Yan army is bound to capture Guangling County, the Xia army swears to die and the Yan army fights to the end, the two sides do not let each other, fight together, shouting and killing is deafening, straight into the sky.

The huge stones thrown by the Xia army, carrying the sound of "whirring" wind, smashed the Yan army crowd out of one huge gap after another, and the gap was a bloody corpse, and the rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun fell, and it was a scream, countless Yan soldiers were hit by arrows and rolled to the ground, and the dead were dead, and the dead were a hundred, and the injured and not dead were sinned, or trampled alive into flesh, or fell to the ground, struggling in pain, and wailing loudly.

And the most powerful thing in the Xia army is the arrow car, the arrow car is more than 100 sharp arrows, because the arrow is limited, but also specially selected the Yan army generals on horseback, the arrows rained down, overwhelming, the Yan army generals and the Yan army around them were shot to death, so that in the end the Yan army generals almost did not dare to command in front.

In order to reverse the decline, the Yan army made thousands of cavalry gallop to the city, and then opened the bow and arrows, these thousands of Yan army iron horsemen are good at riding and shooting, riding on horses, all do not affect their exquisite archery skills, arrows such as flying locusts, shot to the city wall, will be a Xia army, or shot down in the city wall, or shot down the city wall.

"Push up, quick, quick, push up!"

Thousands of iron cavalry of the Yan army, combined with the archers of the Yan army under the city wall, temporarily suppressed the Yan army in the city, so Murong Tengge, the commander of the Han army, shouted loudly.

The Xianbei people are basically cavalry, and the Han army is basically infantry, and in the siege war, the role of cavalry is far inferior to that of infantry, and the cavalry can't go up the city wall, unless the city gate is opened, you can drive straight in.

Besides, how could the elite iron cavalry of the Great Yan Kingdom be thrown into such a bloody battlefield like a meat grinder?

Therefore, the main force of the Yan army's siege this time was the Han army, which was mainly composed of Han people.

After Murong Tengge pushed away the two Yan soldiers holding high the big shield in front of him, he anxiously ordered the troops to push forward the siege equipment such as siege vehicles, ladders, wells, nest cars, and trench vehicles.

In particular, the moat car, or moat bridge, is a sharp weapon for passing through the moat.

The moat of Gwangling County is more than two zhang wide, and of course there is river water in the ditch, but under the river water it is paved with thorns, sharpened wooden stakes, iron hooks, etc., and the river water is also filled with dung juice, etc., so as to prevent the enemy from swimming across and falling into the moat, which is certain death.

The trench car or the trench bridge is called, there are two large wheels in front of the bridge and two small wheels in the back, which are pushed to the front of the trench, and the wheel is sunken to cross the bridge. If the trench is wide, then use the folding bridge, that is, the two Hao bridges are connected, and there is a rotating shaft in the middle, so that the soldiers can reach the city wall through the Hao bridge.

But how could the Xia army not prevent the Yan army from crossing the trench? The catapult turned around and focused on the trench bridge, and more than 20 of the more than 100 trench bridges were destroyed before they could get close to the trench.

"Fill the earth, fill the earth, fill the trench!"

Murong Tengge was so anxious that several large bubbles had already grown at the corners of his mouth, and he brandished his weapon and shouted loudly.

So countless Yan troops pushed carts full of dirt, braved the other party's rain of arrows and stones, ran like flying, and poured the soil into the trench.

The arrows and stones rained down, shooting countless Yan soldiers down on the road, shooting down in the trench, and the Yan soldiers who fell into the trench screamed loudly and struggled desperately in the water, but they were quickly drowned in the black water.

It didn't take long for the earth and the corpses of the Yan soldiers to almost fill the trench, and after paying heavy casualties, the trench bridge was also pushed to the trench, and a large number of Yan soldiers drove directly to the city of Guangling County, facing the towering city wall.

"Tom tom!" The loud sound continued to sound, the siege car continued to hit the city gate that had been blocked, the Yan army flag waved, and dozens of huge ladders were also pushed to the base of the city wall.

This kind of ladder is not a simple ladder, but a special siege ladder, all wrapped around two layers of skin, and the outermost is wrapped with a thin iron sheet, crossbow arrows, stones can not be injured, the ladder on the wall of the ladder is very spacious, three people can go up the ladder side by side.

When the ladder was pushed through the trench and approached the city wall, it was followed by groups of heavily armored Yan soldiers, holding iron shields high, braving the rain of arrows and stones to rush up the ladder.

There are also rushing carts to push to the root of the wall, and the crashing wood in the car hits the city wall again and again, and after the masonry of the city wall is knocked loose by the crashing wood, there are Yan soldiers who are desperately digging the wall bricks with hoes.

Not all Yan soldiers were able to squeeze on this special ladder, and most of them used ordinary ladders, that is, lengthened wooden ladders.

After the iron hook on the wooden ladder hooked the battlements of the city wall, a large number of Yan soldiers bit their blades, climbed up, and the ants attached themselves to the siege of the city.

If the Xia army doesn't want to crack it, the city will be ruined and people will die.

The Xia army stationed in Guangling County, and the Yan army fought for several months, has already become a division of a hundred battles, extremely rich combat experience, after the Xia army peeked into the position of the car, placed countless large bellows between the inner wall and the outside, the bellows were lit before countless burning fires, once the city wall was chiseled through, immediately pull the bellows, so the fire was along the hole in the wall that was chiseled, along the hole in front of the car burned in, the inside of the car is a wooden structure, it can not resist the raging fire at all, Immediately, the rushing car was burned into a stove, and the Yan soldiers in the trench were burned to charcoal, and the few who ran out were also burned in pieces.

In this way, the Xia army broke the Yan army's rushing attack, making the Yan army's losses more and more heavy.

The Xia army's way to deal with the ladder is to deal with the large, special ladder, that is, to light a big fireball, push the big fireball down the mouth of the ladder, the big fireball is condescending, rolling down, knocking down the ladder one by one.

The Yan soldiers, who were on fire, screamed and fell down the ladder.

The Xia army's way to deal with ordinary and simple ladders was to brave the rain of arrows from the opponent and desperately cut off the iron hooks on the ladders, and use spears or bamboo poles to push the ladders away from the city walls, or several people carried a pot of boiling golden soup and fell down with their heads and faces in front of the Yan soldiers who were climbing the ladders.

The so-called golden soup, or golden juice, is boiled dung water, which is even mixed with poisonous weeds, poured on people, and immediately the skin will open the flesh, even if it is lucky not to die, the wounds on the body will be inflamed and festering, so that they will die of pain, and the end is extremely powerful.

The golden soup split his head and covered his face, making a burst of "zizi" sounds, and countless Yan soldiers fell from the cloud ladder screaming, even if they were not scalded to death by the golden soup, they would fall into a ball of meat puree.

"Kill! Rush up! ”

"The governor of the capital has an order, the first to kick the city, ten thousand households, ten thousand rewards!"

A general of the Yan army raised his sword and roared loudly, urging the Yan soldiers to desperately kick the city.

The interior of the trench is all wooden structure

Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men, no matter at any time, the soldier who dares to be the first to rush to the city wall will definitely receive a huge reward, this reward is not a small favor, but a reward that can change the fate of a soldier's life, and there is no lack of gamblers in the Yan army who are not afraid of death.

In addition, the Yan army supervised the team, which had been standing behind with a tiger's eye, and once someone fled timidly, they would be beheaded immediately after being caught, and their heads would be hung in public.

So countless Yan soldiers bit their blades, held their shields, and climbed the ladder.

After a long fierce battle, countless ladders have been dead against the city wall, several brave Yan soldiers rushed up the city wall from the spacious ladders, frantically slashing and killing the Xia army, one after another Xia soldiers were hacked to the ground, blood flowed up and down the city of Guangling County, dyeing a plain city into blood red.

"Kill, kill!"

Yan Jun was overjoyed when he saw this, brandishing various weapons and shouting wildly.

Once one person rushes to the city wall, as long as he does not die and can resist for a while, there will be a second, third, and fourth rush to the city wall, and once the Yan army rushes to the city wall more than the Xia army, forming an advantage, then the city of Guangling County will be broken.

But you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, and the Xia army, under the command of the commander, retreated to the inner wall and set fire to the wooden bridge between the inner wall and the outer wall.

The Yan soldiers who rushed to the outer wall were immediately dumbfounded, the two city walls were two zhang wide apart, and the Yan soldiers who rushed to the outer wall had no choice at all, how could they climb the inner wall by jumping off the outer wall? Moreover, there is a sea of fire between the inner and outer walls, and if you jump down, you will be burned into a roast pig.

The Xia army above the inner city hid inside the city wall and kept attacking the Yan soldiers who rushed to the outer wall, and the Yan soldiers were constantly hit, fell off the city wall, and were really burned into roast pigs.

At this time, the Yan and Xia armies had been fighting fiercely for five or six hours, both sides suffered heavy losses, and the battle situation was also extremely tragic, as the besieging party, the Yan army suffered even heavier losses, losing tens of thousands of soldiers, and the city of Guangling County was still firmly in the hands of the Xia army.

"Newspaper... The governor of the capital..."A Yan army scouted the horse, galloped to the Yan army commander Murong Bolie, did not dismount, and immediately reported loudly: "The Southern Dynasty has come with three reinforcements, and it is less than ten miles away from Guangling County. ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Murong Bolie turned his head and looked at Yan Jun Tanma suspiciously, feeling puzzled.

Guangling County and other counties have been besieged for a long time, Xia of course sent reinforcements, and it is also a faction of three-way reinforcements, with a total of more than 300,000 reinforcements, but Murong Bolie adopted the strategy of "besieging the city and sending reinforcements", and adopted the strategy of "breaking through each other", and defeated all the three-way reinforcements, since then, Xia has no large-scale reinforcements to reinforce Guangling County.

And where did the three-way reinforcements come out of at this moment?

"Don't worry!" Tang Qingsi, who was also a general and staff, smiled slightly, and said to Murong Bolie: "In the next order, these three-way reinforcements are not the main army of the Southern Dynasty, but the township army and township soldiers. ”

"Good!" Murong Bolie was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered again and again: "Order the three generals Batun, Narige, and Mo Ergu to lead the three armies of Longxiang, Xiaowu, and Shenrui in their headquarters to meet the enemy, remember, just defeat them, and they are not allowed to approach Guangling County, and they don't need to be completely annihilated!" ”

"The last general will obey the order of the metropolitan governor!" Batun, Narig, and Moergu responded loudly together.

"Uncle, little nephew, please give the order to fight!" Murong Kang on the side suddenly opened his mouth and asked for an order.
