Chapter 1410: Condescending
When they came to the city wall, they had never seen such a situation, they had also fought before, and it was common to fight with the enemy at night, but most of them would not attack the city, because relying on such a strong city wall, the besieging side would definitely suffer, but now the Tang army didn't care about this at all, and all the Wuya from the city wall to the north were torches.
The most important thing is that the Tang army will not use their lives to fill it in, don't look at the many people who come to them, but most of them are standing on the periphery, Wu Yuanhao also understands what these people are doing standing on the periphery, that is, waiting for a city wall to collapse somewhere, and then these strange soldiers will rush in, and at that time it will be the end of Luocheng.
"General, it looks like they've just got their artillery."
A young general pointed to a torch belt on the left, and said that the distance over there is relatively close, and they can see clearly what is being transported, they are transporting to a hillside on the left side of the city wall at the moment, if they want to fire from there, then they can directly hit the city wall, that is, the position occupied by Wu Yuanhao.
Wu Yuanhao suddenly realized at this time, in fact, the Tang army had many ways to cure him, but he wanted to lure the enemy deep during the day, so he didn't fight with him, and he didn't use these methods.
Just as Wu Yuanhao was thinking, the artillery on the hillside on the left had already fired, and the first shell missed directly and landed on the inside of the city wall, and a catapult below was instantly blown to pieces.
Many of the soldiers below have never seen the power of artillery, and now it can be regarded as letting them see it, during the day he was still scolding those soldiers who went out of the city to fight were useless, tens of thousands of people were defeated by others, and the general ran back bare, how did you people fight?
Now these guys have closed their mouths, and they finally know that the enemy they encountered this time is different from before, look at the bombed catapult next to them, they will know, when they used to fight, this thing was at the rear, when it was burned, at most it was destroyed when we were defeated, and now they don't even see the enemy's face, a catapult has begun to burn.
Wu Yuanjia knew that this was the artillery on the hillside to correct the bearing, the first shell missed and fell into the city, and the second shell was probably about to fall on the city wall, they were now anxious, and they also thought that they could do something, but unfortunately they did not have the attack weapon so far away.
"You immediately rush out with your three thousand men, rush out from the west gate, and then go to the mountains to annihilate their artillery, if you can transport those things back, it would be the best, if you can't transport them back, all the fires will be burned, you must remember that the fate of the whole process is in your hands, you have seen the situation just now, if you let them burn us hard, then I am afraid we will not hold out until dawn tomorrow."
Wu Yuanhao immediately pulled Fan Mingzheng, the head horse of his subordinates.
The three thousand people under his command are also the most elite, originally Wu Yuanhao wanted to sneak into the jungle with these three thousand people, but now the most important thing is to get rid of the artillery on the left first, if you don't end this artillery, let alone sneak into the jungle, tonight in this kind of black light situation, the whole city will be blown into ruins by them, even if you retreat into the mountains and forests, I am afraid that those people's will to fight will also be exhausted.
"My subordinates will go right away."
Pham Minh is a young general, and he is also quite prestigious in Vietnam, but he has not fought much in actual combat, but the training of his men is not bad, after receiving the order of Wu Yuanhao, he finally has the opportunity to go to the battlefield, he has been guarding the city before, and now he also wants to make a small contribution.
Sure enough, it was similar to what Wu Yuanhao said, Fan Mingzheng had just left less than a few minutes ago, and the cannonballs on the hillside crackled and threw them on the city wall, and the position where he was standing just now was no longer able to stand people, if you were still standing there, it would be a live target on the hillside.
"Extinguish all braziers and torches..."
Wu Yuanhao is still a little capable, and this guy can also see that the reason why the people on the mountain can see the targets of attack is because they are holding torches and braziers in the dark night, if these things are extinguished, then there are no other targets under the mountain.
As he had said, when the men on the walls had extinguished the torches and braziers, the artillery on the hillside was noticeably much slower, and without those torches to illuminate their offensive routes, they did not want to waste shells everywhere.
"General, let's get out of the city wall as soon as possible, there is no longer a hold on to the left side of the city gate."
As soon as the situation on the city wall was contained, another bad news immediately came, although the artillery on the hillside could not attack them, but the artillery on the north side of the city wall has not been idle, they concentrated on attacking both sides of the city gate, a large number of shells exploded in this area, now it is not only a matter of cracks, there is a section of the city wall that has begun to collapse, revealing the soil embryo inside.
The inside of the Vietnamese city wall is all adobe, and the outside is built with bricks, and now the bricks outside have been blown up, and the soil embryos inside can't last long, according to the current attack intensity of the Tang army, at most it will be one or two hours, and when the time comes, these soil embryos will collapse, and the Tang cavalry will rush in.
It's really a plan that can't catch up with the big changes, just now he sent the most elite army in his hands, Wu Yuanhao can't wait to call people back immediately, if Fan Mingzheng's people are by his side, he will retreat into the mountains and forests with people now, or too greedy, he should treat people to retreat into the mountains and forests at the beginning.
At least at that time, I was able to bring some of it in, and now that you look at the chaos, I really don't know how many people can be gathered.
"You hurry up and catch up with Fan Minh Zheng, let him retreat to the mountains and forests on the southwest side, bring as many people as you can with your men, here is no longer able to hold on, the whole army retreats into the mountains and forests, and burns the city..."
Wu Yuanhao could only continue to change his orders...
