Chapter 428: Gearing Up
Meng Song, dressed in armor, stood next to the flag of the Eighth Army, looked at the three commanders of the Eighth Army in front of him with a sinking face, and said, "You have served under my command for a long time, and now it is the most critical battle to destroy the Youguo. You must destroy the withering and decaying like a bamboo!"
"If you don't break the city, the last will come to see you!"
"Okay, here's the wine!"
Meng Song stretched out his hand, and a wine bowl fell into his palm. The rippling in the bowl is the spirits of Guanzhong, and the wine is fragrant and clear.
"This commander toasts all the generals. After the city was broken, the commander of the army set up a celebration banquet for you in the Fuyang County Mansion. There are beautiful women singing and dancing for you!"
There was a sound of iron armor leaves, and the siege pioneers Han Yan, Zhu Heng, and Guo Ping raised their heads and drank dry spirits.
"Go ahead!" Meng Song also drank it all in one gulp, and said loudly: "Ben will personally beat the drum for you to strengthen the army!"
When the three division commanders returned to their headquarters, they all stood in the first row of the queue under the battle flag with the word "Tang".
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The drums of war like a storm suddenly rose between heaven and earth. The 50,000-strong army looked at the direction of the main formation, and on the high platform, Meng Song, dressed in armor, was waving his arms and beating the war drums vigorously. Then Li Xian and his own soldiers also walked to the drum and beat the war drum.
In an instant, the Eighth Army was boiling.
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wan Sheng!"
Suddenly, in the midst of the drums that shook the heavens and the earth, a loud song sounded in the first wave of charging military formations.
The founding ceremony of the Tang Dynasty "No Clothes".
"How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!
How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the Son!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amid the singing of the soldiers, the war drums quickened again.
The arm-thick drum stick was in Meng Song's hand, like a windmill, hitting the drum surface at once.
"How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with your son!"
Boom!
The last drum beat fell.
Meng Song waved the drum stick in his hand in the shape of a knife, pointed at Fuyang, and shouted, "Siege!"
50,000 people shouted in unison: "Siege!"
Such a magnificent and fierce sound makes the mountains tremble and the rivers flow backwards.
The Youjun at the head of the city looked at the position of the Tang army in horror, and the weapons in their hands were already a little unstable.
At this moment, they seemed to feel the wall under their feet tremble slightly.
Rumble! Rumble!
Suddenly, there was a muffled thunder from underground, like before a storm. But the power of this thunder has never been seen before.
In the blink of an eye, the heavens and the earth began to tremble violently, and the magnificent walls of Fuyang shook violently in these continuous thunders.
Then, in everyone's sight, under the city wall of Fuyang, the earth burst and the earth rolled. It's like a dragon that wants to break through the ground.
"The Earth Dragon turned over?" The frightened soldier didn't know what was happening, and thought it was an earthquake, and shouted frantically.
Bang!
Between heaven and earth, the smoke and dust rose to the sky, and the frustrated city wall twisted violently. With the sound of collapse, countless bricks and stones splashed, and the city wall of Fuyang collapsed.
"Break the city, break the city!"
The 50,000 Tang troops held their weapons and shouted frantically at the frustrated sun in the smoke and dust.
Boom, boom, that's the sound of falling masonry.
The smoke and dust were blown away by the wind, and three huge gaps suddenly appeared in the city wall.
The broken masonry rammed earth just formed an uneven slope, paving a road into the city for the Tang army, which was waiting for the battle.
"Destroy this fang!" Meng Song ordered loudly, and the flag of the Eighth Army flew in the formation.
"God bless the Tang Dynasty! Kill!"
The Tang army was at the front, Han Yan roared, and with the soldiers behind him, the tiger rushed out first. Behind him, tens of thousands of Tang troops rushed towards the gap in the collapsed city wall of Fuyang.
"Brothers,
Kill it and grab it!"
Zhu Heng's method of motivating the soldiers is simple and rude, but it is the most direct and effective.
Tens of thousands of soldiers, swallowing mountains and rivers like tigers!
At this time, the dizzy Sergeant of the Ghost Army, weakly stood up from the ruins, blankly looking for his companions and officers. At the moment when the city wall collapsed, many people were stoned to death and buried by bricks and stones. But at this moment, they didn't have time to pull their robes, and the Tang army had already started to charge along the slope.
"Sons, hold on! Shoot!"
At this moment, Niu Ba, the general of the Youjun Army, arrived with a team of elite armor soldiers. Standing on the widest gap, facing the charging Tang army, there was a round of arrow rain.
"Rush!"
The Tang army shouted in the rain of arrows, and a wall-like shield was erected in the front, and when the bow and arrow hit, sparks splashed everywhere.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
The crossbowmen of the Don army also began to fight back.
In the rain of arrows, people on both sides continued to fall, although the city wall collapsed, but the Tang army attacked from the back and was slightly at a disadvantage. But when they meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and the Tang army is all heavy infantry, so they directly climb up against the rain of arrows from the Youjun.
With a "click", Han Yan cut off the arrow stuck in his armor's waist, held the array shield with one hand, and threw out a flying axe.
In the ranks of the ghost army on the city wall, one man fell screaming.
Seeing that his own general was so heroic, the charging Tang army was even more demoralized.
There were only three arrows in battle, and in a hurry, the number of archers of the ghost army was not enough to suppress tens of thousands of people. The vanguard of the Tang army had already rushed to their noses.
Two torrents collided violently.
In the midst of the chaos, Zhu Heng directly grabbed the spear stabbed by Youjun, and as soon as he pulled the iron arm, the other party was directly pulled by him into the Tang army. Then, in an instant, the soldier was hacked to death by his own soldiers.
"Break the city!"
Zhu Hengda shouted, took his own soldiers, opened the way with the array shield, and rushed in directly.
"Zhu Heng is actually so brave?"
Under the city, Meng Song, who was watching the battle, heard Wang Bo's voice, and when he looked back, he saw that the latter was sighing there.
Meng Song smiled slightly and said, "Lord Wang, I don't know, after the fierce general you originally left in the Eighth Army was picked up by the personal guard division, I looked for the fierce general everywhere. Sure enough, I found it. Zhu Heng had a nickname in the army earlier, called Zhu Xuanzi, who was born not afraid of death, stupid and bold. And he is murderous by nature, and he will not be happy if he doesn't kill for a day in his early years!". Five
In fact, it is not only Zhu Heng, but most of the middle-level generals in the Tang Army. In another gap, the same is true for Han Yan and others.
These old killers are usually sloppy and corrupt, but when they come to the battlefield, they all take the lead in their lives. Not only did they fight hard, but they had to bring their relatives and juniors to the front line in every battle.
As he spoke, he saw that the first wave of the Tang Army had already rushed to the head of Fuyang City like a tide, and shouted, "Let the second wave prepare!"
The first wave was snatched away by Han Yan and Zhu Heng, which made Guo Ping indignant, but who made him unlucky. After the military order was issued, Guo Ping's eyes were red, and he stood in front of the army.
