Chapter 488 - Each hole card battle South Gate
A silver figure, wielding a giant blade, always appeared in the most intensive battles, and every time the sword flashed, a blood splash fell.
Like a silver god of death, dancing on the pitch-black city wall, wantonly harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Yan army.
It can be said that while Zhao Kuo brought countless confidence to the Zhao army in the city, he also deterred the Yan army under the city all the time.
On the third day, several generals, including Sun Gu and Zhao Ping, persuaded the general to go back to the city for a while, but Zhao Kuo refused.
For three whole days, although Zhao Kuo was not always fighting, how could he rest well on top of this noisy city tower.
And Zhao Kuo's invincible figure naturally fell in the eyes of Yan Jun's caring people. So, in response to Zhao Kuo's trap attack with a thorn in the flesh, Yan Jun arranged seven or eight times.
Fortunately, the battlefield is on top of the city tower, and the only arrow tower that can cause a huge threat was also destroyed by Zhao Jun's rockets, and the only feasible plan is nothing more than to have more soldiers, or replace them with some slightly elite soldiers, but for Zhao Kuo, there is not much threat at all, it is nothing more than a few more swords.
However, with the sound of the "general" of the Zhao army, Qing Qin, who was in the Chinese army, finally made up his mind - the goal of breaking the city and capturing Zhao Kuo was changed to killing Zhao Kuo and breaking the city at the same time.
Subsequently, a plan for Zhao Kuo was quickly formed.
For this reason, the East and West Second Army, which was originally only for defense, began to move forward slowly, and the five thousand most elite people of the Yan Army also quietly moved to the position of the front army, and the Yan Army, which was supposed to change shifts to attack at the end of the day, was also awakened in advance.
At sunset, the Yan armies on the east and west routes began to move.
Soon, a large-scale battle finally broke out between the East and West Second Gates, but fortunately, the East and West Second Gates were limited by the terrain, and although the Yan army had many troops, it could not be deployed.
But even so, the battle between the East and West Gates also entered a white-hot heat at the beginning. The reason is also very simple, the soldiers of the Yan Army on the east and west roads saw their comrades at the south gate fighting to the death, but they could only watch the play on the sidelines, not to mention how aggrieved they were.
Listening to the order to attack, not to mention how excited they were, they secretly vowed to give Zhao Jun a good look - climb the city tower, break through the city, and capture Zhao Kuo alive, just around the corner!
It's a pity that inexplicable courage comes and goes faster. And reality quickly gave them a resounding slap in the face!
The rough road not only prevented their troops from moving, but also limited the speed at which they could advance, so a dense and slow-moving queue was the favorite formation of the archers of the Zhao army, and under the rain of arrows, a large part of the Yan army fell.
The walls have not yet been touched, but many people have died. This inexplicable morale soon fell to the bottom.
However, the military order is forward, how dare the Yan army retreat, even if the front is a dead word, it can only risk flat. Brave the head, face the rain of arrows, and go to the top of the cityγγγγγγ
Fortunately, the strength of the Yan army still occupies an absolute advantage, and soon, the Yan army, with its superiority in strength, finally arrived at the East and West Second Gate, and the captains of the two gates also complained to Zhao Kuo one after another.
There is no way, although the soldiers who came to the East and West Second Gate have also undergone some repairs, but the lack of troops, coupled with the lack of city defense equipment, makes the defense of the East and West Second Gate very stretched.
Zhao Kuo stood at the head of the south gate, listening to the urgency of the heralds of the east and west gates, but his heart was calm.
He knew that although the East and West Gates were in danger, they were far from being out of control. And before a single blow was fired, the attack of the East and West Second Gates was obviously not so necessary, but the Yan army was still marching towards the East and West Second Gates.
It's not that the generals of the Yan army are crazy, then there is only one possibility: the east and west gates are just to attract their own attention. It's nothing more than to call out your own reserves, and then suddenly give yourself a blow! The real killer feature, no need to ask, is still above this south gate.
With this judgment, Zhao Kuo's heart can be regarded as counting: it is time for the hole cards in his hand to show his face.
Moving a stone at will, Zhao Kuo sat down slowly, and then spoke: "The heavily armored Mo sword soldiers and the reserve team are all ready to fight.
γ
Hearing this, Sun Gu beside him just wanted to receive his life, but was stopped by Zhao Kuo's next words.
"Prepare to join, Battle of the South Gate." Zhao Kuo looked at the battlefield in front of him, which was gradually shrouded in darkness, and said lightly.
"South Gate?" Sun Gu was a little surprised, isn't this an emergency at the east and west gates? Although the south gate is tragic, it can still be maintain z.br>ed!
"Do it." Zhao Kuo said lightly: "Yan Jun's hole cards should also be opened! Push the bed crossbow up too!"
"Yes." Sun Gu, who heard the words, immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, and immediately did not hesitate, and immediately bowed to Zhao Kuo to receive the order.
Soon, four bed crossbows were quietly sent to the front line, in front of several ladders that had been burned. Zhao Kuo knew that the more non-threatening the place outside the south gate, the more dangerous it was.
Taking advantage of the gap between the Yan army's attacks, dozens of soldiers quickly completed the debugging. However, because it was dark, the soldiers of the Yan army obviously didn't realize that just a dozen steps away from them, the Zhao army would push up such a big killing weapon.
Of course, Qing Qin would never have imagined that until now, Zhao Kuo still has such a hole card in his hand that has not been opened.
And along with the bed crossbow, there were also the heavily armored Mo Dao team and five hundred elite soldiers who had been hidden for three whole days. Of course, because of the need for armor, they have not yet ascended the tower.
Zhao Kuo, who was sitting on the stone and resting for a while, looked at the almost process-like attack and defense on the south tower, and knew in his heart that danger was quietly approaching.
According to the situation of the previous days, in less than a quarter of an hour, it will be time to fight, and the defense of the south gate should be rotated.
After the rotation, the soldiers who were originally fighting fiercely will soon go down to the castle tower to rest, and if they want to be transferred up, it will be difficult. Therefore, the hour or two after the change of defense was also the time when the Zhao army's combat strength was not retained.
Maybe it's this time that Yan Jun is waiting for! At least if he is a general of the Yan Army, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
"Herald: Heavy armor and reserves, at two o'clock in the morning, begin to ascend the city." Zhao Kuo thought for a while, and no longer hesitated to order the herald: "The heavy armored soldiers are lined up in the middle of the city tower, and the reserve team will stay in the corridor for the time being.
"Yes!" The herald quickly agreed, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.
γγγγγγ
The time soon came to the moment of the war, and the soldiers of the Zhao army quickly completed the change of defense, but the Yan army under the city tower did not seem to have the intention of changing the defense, and still attacked unhurriedly.
Although the Zhao army was a fresh force that had been repaired for four hours, it was unable to attack in the face of dozens of times the enemy's army, and could only rely on the advantage of the city wall to defend passively.
Zhao Kuo, who had been fighting for too long, was still sitting on the boulder with a long knife, quietly waiting for the Yan army's attack.
After less than a cup of tea, the moon above the city tower was blocked by dark clouds for the first time, and the wind roared outside the city tower, and the sky and the earth were already dark, and it was the mountain rain that was about to come and the wind filled the building!
The two armies of Yan and Zhao could only rely on the light of the torches to fight each other!
Suddenly, a lightning bolt pierced the dark night sky, but I saw that outside the city tower, within hundreds of steps, the dense Yan army was like ants, lined up in a neat queue, slowly from the distant formation, quietly assembled towards the city, and there were even a lot of siege equipment!
"Clickγγγγγγ A thunderbolt exploded in Zhao Kuo's ears! Instantly woke up Zhao Kuo, who was still a little confused!
Without thinking too much, Zhao Kuo immediately said to the herald beside him, "Herald: All the heavy armored soldiers should quickly ascend to the city!" The catapult immediately replaced the fire bombs to illuminate the rear of the Yan army! Quick!"
Zhao Kuo's order was quickly executed. After a while, the catapult crew in the city roared again.
In groups of two and two, a cart launched a clay pot full of grease, and a cart sent out a lit fire bomb, the clay pot fell to the ground and shattered, and the full grease splashed out, soon covering a large area of land, and the fire bomb followed, and the scattered sparks fell on the grease, instantly igniting the fire, illuminating the entire rear of the Yan army.
I saw several arrow towers and several cloud ladders standing proudly, and the vast number of elite Yan soldiers were dressed neatly and cleanly
The colored armor, taking advantage of the hazy night, was slowly and carefully advancing towards the south gate of the city.
From the clean armor, it can be found that this unit is not the rotating Yan army, but the last rear army unit of the Yan army that has not yet been on the battlefield. is the first general, and he is no longer the previous captain, but a real general, the deputy general of the army under the main general Qing Qin.
Zhao Kuo knew that Yan Jun was going to fight for his life!
As the rear of the Yan army was illuminated by the fire bombs, the camouflage of the Yan army lost its meaning, and the general led by him saw this, pulled out the long sword in his waist, pointed at Yancheng, and shouted, "Rush!"
Immediately, the five thousand elite Yan troops, together with the siege equipment that had been secretly built in three days, began to accelerate towards the city and the city!
Fortunately, Zhao Ping and the masters of the artillery battalion were also called to the top of the city tower when Zhao Kuo guessed Dao Yanjun's intentions. Seeing this scene, they quickly recorded the location of the Yan army's siege equipment, and then took the brocade silk with the weight of the bearing written on it, and quickly rushed back to the position of the catapult.
After a while, one after another stone bullets broke through the air, still the arrow tower and then the cloud ladder.
Catapults? Yan Jun didn't add that thing at all!
But Yan Jun came too suddenly and too quickly. Qing Qin obviously learned the lessons of the previous two times and placed all the arrow towers in the first group, in order to send as many of the most threatening arrow towers as possible outside the city tower.
Under a series of coincidences and deliberateness, even if the artillery battalion of the Zhao army tried their best, they did not wipe out all of them before the arrow tower approached the city wall! A full six arrow towers arrived outside the towers of the city and the city.
With the approach of these six arrow towers, the pressure on the city wall increased suddenly, but fortunately, the whistling fire bombs also woke up the other soldiers of the Zhao army, so they were not caught off guard by the Yan army, but γγγγγγ
