Chapter 554: Step forward
Although the enemy army took back He Xian, the city gate was closed again.
But Zhang Chong had already decided to launch a general attack on Xuansu City.
As the rangers descending from Qipan Mountain spread along the Yongdao to the various camps, the time for the siege was set, and it was set at the morning sun.
And there was still an hour left before this time, and the battalions seized the time to rest.
At the same time, the baggage battalions directly under each battalion also began to go to the vicinity to prepare breakfast for the soldiers.
There was also the sound of dense axes and chisels in the camp, which was the craftsmen and apprentices of the craftsman battalion rushing to make siege equipment such as trench filling carts and ladders.
The craftsman battalion of the Taishan Army has been built as a key part of the army since the Taishan period, and there is a set of regulations for absorption, training, promotion and treatment, which makes the engineering technology of the Taishan Army reach the peak of this world.
The dense forests of the Xuansu region also provided the raw materials for these artisans to fully display their talents. At this time, the crashes, trebuchets, and bed crossbows that were densely packed in the camps were the result.
Of course, these are the hectic days of the day.
Soon, smoke rose from the camps, causing a choking fire to burn outside the city. The rich aroma of meat also wafts through this ancient land.
A moment passed. At this point, the first drum is beaten.
The officers of each battalion began to put down their dishes and chopsticks and began to take care of their equipment.
After another moment, the second drum sounded.
The battalions formed a formation in the battalion.
After another moment, the third drum sounded.
The whole army opened its camp to the beat of the drums.
By this time, the sun had fully risen, scattered over this plain, golden and warm.
And these officials from all over the world, under the gaze of the king on the chessboard mountain, drove to their predetermined positions in unison.
The soap banners under the city fly and the dragon flies, and the Hulu in the city is gloomy.
This body repays the grace of the king, and the life talks and laughs into the gate of heaven
……
Just now, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, and Le Jin each invited the starters of the west, north, and east gates.
Among them, the 2,000 Zhonghu army led by Yu Ban was the main attack for this battle at the north gate.
And Zhang Chong came down from the chessboard mountain with a rampage, and the canopy was behind the forbidden army.
When the last drum stopped, the whole army drummed in unison, and the general attack began.
Yu Banchang of the North Road led a 500 soldiers of the Central Guard Army to push the trench cart forward.
The trench filling truck is specially used to fill the trench, covered with cowhide to block the arrows, and the person pushes under the canopy, and when he reaches the trench, he will fill the trench with the sand and soil he carries.
At this time, Changfeng was wearing three layers of armor and personally led the team.
Listening to the noise of the enemy troops at the head of the city, Chang Feng gritted his teeth and pushed the trench cart forward without saying a word.
True to its name, the pig is brave.
But in fact, Chang Feng has been holding his breath in his heart.
He and Yu Ban both belong to the same group of Taishan Army, now what? Yu Ban is one of the five marshals, and he is still a general. Even, he didn't take care of him all the time after the ban, and Chang Feng was even worse than now.
Such a predicament is not a problem of Chang Xuan's ability, but his character and temperament.
Chang Feng is indeed brave in battle, but he always likes to fight with the wind, and when it comes to hard battles, he shrinks back.
In the Battle of Xingyang a few years ago, Yu Ban led the Chinese Protector to take on the heavy task of resisting the Youzhou Turks. In this battle, Yu Ban won his prestige, and the future Qingyun rose straight from this battle.
But what about Chang Xuan? Because when he was found after the war, he put on a Han army uniform, which became his biggest stain.
Since then, Chang Feng has been in the limelight.
But Chang Feng is unwilling, he Chang Feng shouldn't be this life!
And now, under the watchful eye of the king, this is his chance to change his life.
Arrows and falling rocks kept smashing on the plaques on the car, clattering.
At first, Chang Feng was worried that the car was not strong, but he didn't expect that the calves of the craftsman's camp were quite solid in materials.
In fact, it is still thanks to the good quality of the dense forest trees on this plain, which are all old trees that do not know the age.
So the Han army above shot a joy, but in fact, the Taishan army has not been injured at all.
After Chang Feng led the team to the first trench under the city, it heralded the breakthrough of this trench.
And the Hu Han officials at the head of the city also reacted, they first fired a round of rocket arrows downward, and then found that these Taishan troops hung a cowhide on each car, which can be described as a shame and luxury.
Seeing that the rocket arrows didn't work, the Hu Han officials at the head of the city panicked, but soon they began to carry the falling rocks to the battlements, intending to destroy them directly with falling rocks after the siege trucks came.
But just as they were anxiously waiting, suddenly there was a roaring sound of breaking through the air.
And then, they don't have then.
At the same time, the eastern, western, and northern city walls were all bombarded by the stone wagons of the Taishan army.
The Hu and Han officials at the head of the city had no experience in dealing with this kind of shelling at all, and their morale collapsed and they retreated to the city head in a panic.
The Taishan Army staged infantry and artillery coordination for the first time in Liaodong, and achieved great results.
The allied forces of the three counties arranged under the three walls looked desperately at the giant beasts that kept throwing boulders in the distance, and the clods, rubble, and corpses that fell from above kept smashing on the top of these people's heads.
The previously dense formation became more and more chaotic.
Yu Ban in the north stood on the drum car, and after seeing this scene, he decisively ordered:
"All the departments are out!"
"Drums!"
So the drums behind him beat loudly.
The battalions of the Central Protection Army, which had been deployed before the war, Chen Huan and Xu Zhong, two lieutenants, successively lined up to attack.
In the majestic drums of war, the battlefield was full of tsunami, and the whole army was fighting hard.
may be frightened by such momentum, and the flags on Xuansu City seem to be a little shorter. But soon, the opposite side also began to beat drums, which was the last dignity of the Han army.
The killing fields of humans frightened the birds and beasts of this ancient forest, and the birds fled, and the beasts rushed to the ground.
By this time, the first ditch had been filled, and the sand on the second ditch had been mostly filled.
Chen Huan in the back has already begun to order:
"The whole army has a longbow and five arrows to fire rapidly, and the target is two hundred steps."
The rangefinder shouted:
"Two hundred steps, here!"
So, with Chen Huan's military match, the crossbowmen of his battalion of thousands of people began to fire rapidly at an angle of forty-five degrees, and in just two breaths, five thousand arrows were vented on the Han army formation under the city in the north.
This Han soldier was subordinate to Goguryi County, and there was only one 500 soldiers. It had already suffered from the splash damage of falling rocks on the top of the city, but now it was hit by a volley of five thousand arrows from the opposite side, and it collapsed directly.
This is the strength of the bow and crossbow of the Taishan army, and a standard Han military battalion will collapse if it can't withstand a single salvo on the battlefield.
These Han soldiers kept retreating with their wounded robes, and at first they were shouting to open the door from behind, but there was no movement at the north gate.
In this way, these people could only follow the wall, preparing to go around to the south gate to enter the city.
But the Tarzan army's assault cavalry had already begun to cruise along the edge of the battlefield. Seeing these stragglers preparing to go around the city to the south gate, they volleyed and mounted one after another.
In the end, the Goguryi camp was completely annihilated.
As a battalion of Han soldiers was wiped out before they could meet each other in short quarters, the Han army at the head of the city began to be silent in a huge panic.
At this time, a hard Luoyang Zhengyin suddenly floated from the city:
"The Taishan army under the city, can someone come forward to answer?"
This sentence was sent to Yu Ban's ear on the drum cart with the front-line soldiers, and Yu Ban snorted coldly:
"The fight has been fought, what is there to talk about now? Let them dedicate the city and talk again! ”
Saying that, Yu Ban wanted to let people pass the word over.
But at this time, Shi Shenshang, the commander of the Central Protector Army, suddenly stopped Yu Ban and whispered:
"The king is still to come."
Yu Ban suddenly asked this military official to send the news to the king in the back.
Soon, the officer returned, and he told Yu Ban out of breath:
"The king's dictum: The king is in charge of everything on the front line, and what you mean is what I mean."
Yu Ban sighed, and said to Shen Shang:
"Lao Shen, you see that's what the king meant."
Shen Shang didn't laugh, but reminded:
"It means meaning, but whether we have this action or not is another matter."
It is forbidden to be taught.
He saw that the military officials were tired, so he hurriedly got out of the car and went out to the front to convey his intentions.
So, the tiger warrior wore iron armor and marched quickly on the marching road.
This ride was also bold, and it ran directly into the range of the upper floor before stopping.
The man chanted:
"Hugh is tongue-in-cheek, wait for you to come out with jade, and there is time to say."
This is not polite, but Ji Gao at the head of the city is not angry at all.
He first boasted:
"Which hero is under the city? It's so daring, and I'm still so comfortable in my shots. ”
The majestic tiger warrior was dismissive and shouted:
"My grandson remembered, my surname is in my name, don't forget. For he who takes the head of your item will be this one. ”
It turned out that this tiger warrior's name was Yu Jin.
This righteous son who was accepted by Yu Ban in the Battle of the Long Spoon is now so strong.
First Zhang Shao, then Guan Ping, and then Yu Jin, these children of the Taishan Army also began to emerge in the army and began to shoulder the future of the Taishan Army.
That Ji Gao is also a hero, and he doesn't know how much older he is than Yu Jin, can he be humiliated by such a child?
But he endured it, because he knew that the city could not be defended.
So, he shouted again:
"Listen to the persuasion of this government, I have a strong army in Xuansu City, and you can't shake it even if you attack for ten days and ten nights. I know that you are waiting for Liaodong, and I am willing to give way to the road and let your army pass. Our government promises that it will guard the city and will not commit any offence in autumn. ”
But the Tarzan army below did not listen to this again.
As the head of the whole army, Chang Feng had completely broken through the ditch under the city and began to push the ladder to the foot of the north gate.
The Han soldiers on the north gate have been driven to the city again by the soldiers behind them.
The stone cart in the rear of the Taishan army also stopped, because the Chang Xuan Department had already arrived at the city, and if it was fired again, it would be injured by mistake.
And the following can only rely on the central guard army to grab the top of the city by themselves.
At this time, Chang Xuan, who was wearing armor and holding a giant axe, roared:
"Those who don't believe in fate, follow us!"
When the words fell, Chang Feng jumped on the ladder and stepped forward.
Behind him, countless armor soldiers buried their heads in the front.
Advance! Advance!
Tens of millions of hearts have gathered into this sentence:
"Move forward!"
