Chapter 649: Total Rout
The soldiers of the Cao army who were besieging the city saw the gate of Liyang suddenly open, and then heard Wei Yan's order, and felt that their opportunity to make meritorious service had come.
The exploits of breaking the city are very rich.
"Kill!"
They shouted and slammed straight into the open gates.
As the distance narrowed, the Cao soldiers could see that behind the Liyang City Gate, at some point, there was an additional trench built with sandbags, and they had just rushed into the doorway, and when they were about to storm the trenches, they saw the barrels of ten heavy machine guns sticking out from the back of the sandbags.
The machine gunners, pulled the trigger and opened fire.
The bullet was inside the muzzle, ejecting out.
The soldiers of the Cao Army who walked into the doorway happened to meet the bullets head-on.
They only heard a burst of gunshots, and before they could figure out what was happening, the people fell, and they didn't know how they died, and the Cao soldiers who rushed into the city gate fell one after another.
As soon as the soldiers in front fell, the ones behind followed, but as soon as they followed in, they were harvested by machine-gun bullets.
Ten heavy machine guns fired at the door of the city gate, only when the bullets were changed, the Cao soldiers could breathe a sigh of relief, but after the replacement, the ruthless torture came again.
The first batch of Cao soldiers who entered the city were all shot and fell, and none of them were alive.
The soldiers who followed behind, without the cover of the front, were exposed to the range of the heavy machine guns, and even if they did not enter the doorway, they were also killed by bullets.
Inside and outside the city gate, the corpses of Cao's soldiers were piled up on the ground.
Such a terrifying scene made the Cao soldiers behind them dare not follow anymore, and they were frightened, and retreated indiscriminately, or retreated to both sides of the doorway.
The power of the machine gun, for them, was terrifying beyond their inherent understanding.
"Grab the shield and rush in."
Wei Yan had never directly faced the machine gun, and he didn't know how powerful it was, and he thought that the shield could withstand bullets.
After receiving his order, the second group of soldiers, raising their shields one by one, began to storm the city gate for the second time, all of them were not afraid of death, and rushed inside without their lives, wanting to make meritorious contributions.
But the results are clear.
The shield was directly shattered by the bullet, and no matter how many shields were raised, in the face of absolute fire suppression, it would be nothing more than that.
The second group of soldiers was quickly killed, and the rest withdrew in embarrassment, and the other Cao soldiers, no matter how Wei Yan urged, refused to attack the city gate again.
Wei Yan wanted to kill him personally, but when he saw the corpses piled up on the ground inside and outside the doorway, he didn't dare anymore, and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order and climbs the city wall!" ”
Even if the city gates were opened and they were given a chance, they would not dare to enter it.
The range of the bow and arrow is not as far as that of a machine gun.
Since there was no way to face the city gates, they had no choice but to attack from the city walls.
Cao Jun archers drew their bows and threw them above the city walls, covering the rest of their colleagues and climbing the towers.
But as soon as they pulled the bowstring, hundreds of explosive bags were dropped.
The soldiers of Cao's army, of course, knew what the explosive package was, and when they saw that some explosives were dropped, they turned around and ran, otherwise they would be blown up.
As soon as they ran away, the sound of explosions echoed under the castle tower.
"Get on the trebuchet!"
Cao Cao, who was outside the city, saw that the Liyang City Tower was counterattacking more and more fiercely, and was ready to use their firearms.
But as soon as the trebuchet was pushed out, mortar shells bombarded down from the tower.
A round of shelling destroyed several trebuchets.
Next, there was another bombing.
As soon as Cao Cao's trebuchet stepped into the area covered by firepower, it was almost bombed.
There is no way to fight back.
Yang Zhao was on the city tower, and when he looked down, he could see that the troops that Cao Cao used to storm were repulsed as soon as they approached the city wall, and said, "The machine gunners can be prepared." ”
There are also more than a dozen machine gunners, who appear on the castle tower.
Their machine guns, mounted on the women's wall, were fired when they pulled the trigger.
Bullets were fired from top to bottom, and there were a large number of Cao soldiers, lying in a pool of blood, and the coordination of machine guns and mortars could crush the enemy below.
The first few times, when Cao Cao attacked the city, Yang Zhao's resistance was not so fierce.
But this time, it's unusual.
Shells and bullets, as if they were running out.
"Lord, Yang Zhao's counterattack is very fierce."
Cheng Yu persuaded worriedly: "It's too fierce than before, I'm afraid of deception, and I can't attack anymore." ”
Cao Cao looked at his subordinate soldiers, more and more people fell, he was very uneasy, and felt very distressed, and thought for a while and said: "Retreat, all retreat!" ”
Clang!
The sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops echoed outside Liyang City.
In the face of such powerful firepower, the besieging soldiers were so afraid that they didn't want to attack anymore, and when they heard the order to retreat, they didn't have to think about it, they just fled.
Xiahou still wanted to maintain the discipline of retreating, but all the soldiers walked back indiscriminately, and they couldn't maintain it at all.
"Lord, Cao Jun has retreated."
Xun You looked down and said with a smile: "The lord guessed right, Cao Cao saw that we resisted fiercely, and he would definitely retreat, and then it was time for our cavalry to go out of the city." ”
Yang Zhao nodded and said: "Guorang, you go out to plunder for a while, Wen Yuan and Boping, lead the infantry to prepare, see the Xuanjia elite cavalry chasing to the rear of the Cao army, and then you go out to plunder the formation." ”
"Yes!"
They said in unison.
Tian Yu walked down the city tower first, led the Xuanjia elite cavalry, fought out of the Liyang City Gate, and killed the retreating rear army of the Cao army.
"Mancheng, it's not good!"
Cao Hong exclaimed, "Yang Zhao's Xuanjia Elite Cavalry has come out. ”
Li Dian turned his head to look at the city gate of Liyang, and sure enough, he saw Tian Yu leading the troops to kill, and said eagerly: "Come on, defend!" ”
Seeing this, Wei Yan also said in a loud voice: "Defense!" ”
The soldiers of the Cao Army in the rear army raised their bows and crossbows to shoot.
Some people also raised their spears, trying to stab the Xuanjia spirit rider who was about to rush over.
But Tian Yu saw Cao Jun's movement and immediately ordered to shoot.
The cavalry beside him, ordered the flag to wave.
The knight behind him saw the Lingqi and immediately took out his rifle.
They all scattered on both sides, lined up, and fired at the Cao army in front.
The range of Cao Jun's arrows is far inferior to that of a rifle.
Riding out of the range of the crossbow, Xuanjia Jing shot a group of Cao Jun's crossbowmen.
After shooting a round, all the cavalry separated under Tian Yu's order and continued to kill the rear army of Cao's army, wandering around the periphery, focusing on pulling and attrition.
Cao Cao, who was retreating, heard the sound of gunfire echoing in the rear, glanced back, frowned, and said, "Go back to the camp immediately, start a defense, and don't let Yang Zhao's cavalry rush into our barracks." ”
"Lord, I can't go back to the camp."
Xi Zhong pointed to the gate of Liyang City, and said eagerly: "Yang Zhao's infantry is out of the city, he wants to launch a comprehensive counterattack, now his troops are sufficient, his combat power is strong, and those firearms, the camp can't be defended." We should have people break off, give up everything in the barracks, and cross the river back to Yanzhou. ”
The current situation is becoming more and more critical for Cao Cao.
