Chapter 159: Conquering the city

The rain has stopped! The sun is smiling from the clouds!

Li Jing and the others packed their bags and set foot on the road to Champa again.

The team escorting the mountain artillery took the first step, and for the sake of safety, Li Jing also asked people to fly the eagle and pass the book, so that Han Shizhong could send troops to meet him, so as not to be attacked by the guerrillas of Lin Yiguo.

Han Shizhong received the secret letter and immediately sent Yang Siqiao to lead his soldiers and horses to meet him, escort the mountain artillery team, and smoothly join him.

When the mountain artillery arrived at the Tang army camp, Han Shizhong placed five mountain artillery guns one kilometer away from the city to cooperate with the army to attack!

The firing range of the mountain artillery is 4,700 meters, and the distance of one thousand meters is powerful, which can completely cover the soldiers to rush to the city wall.

The Tang army camp sounded the drums of battle, and the well-equipped Tang army drove out of the camp, assembled outside the camp, and marched towards the city!

The movements are uniform, just like a person in action, and the pennant is waving in the wind!

"The Tang Army is here! The Tang Army is coming! Is this going to be a siege? ”

At the head of the city, you can see many figures running back and forth, and a large number of soldiers go up from the steps in the city, quickly enter the designated position, and defend.

Although he had fought with the Tang Army several times, it was already very shocking to see the Tang Army again, and the people defending the city were even more timid, especially the people who coordinated the defense.

In order to better defend the city, Fan Jian ordered the Vaishyas, Shudras, and Dalits to be armed and coordinated to defend the city.

If it weren't for the minister's obstruction, Fan Jian would have sent an army of untouchables to fight the Tang army, so that the Tang army would know that Lin Yiguo was not easy to mess with.

"Afraid of what? We occupy the city with thick walls, and the Tang army is afraid that they can't even touch the head of the city! The three-phase God is with us. ”

Fan Jian, who was wearing armor, scolded loudly!

Now that Fan Jian, who has been instructed by the gods, is full of confidence, he is said to be defensive, and even thinks that even if he goes out of the city to fight, he can still beat the Tang army and can't find the north!

People are like this, once they believe it, they feel that it is awesome, and they see that everyone else is a younger brother!

The national teacher told him that the great three-phase gods would not abandon their faithful believers, and would definitely send a divine army to repel the invaders who offended their faithful believers.

There is a great three-phase god to bless you, Tang Jun? And what's it?

No matter how strong the power of mortals is, in front of the great gods, they are just ants, and a single look of the gods can turn mortals into ashes, no matter how powerful the Tang Army is, can there still be a three-phase god?

For Fan Jian's words, he was more or less relieved, since the Three Phase Gods were all with them, the Tang Army would definitely not be able to break through the city, how could the Three Phase Gods allow others to bully their devout believers.

Among the soldiers, some began to pray for the protection of the three-phase god!

This can make Han Shizhong and the others outside the city stunned, they can also be regarded as brave and good generals, but who has ever seen a prayer before a war?

Why haven't I seen them pray before?

In order to find out the facts, Han Shizhong ordered people to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty and call the minister of Linyi who showed them the way!

After some inquiry, I found out what was going on with them!

"When the matter comes to an end, will it be too late to pray to God and worship Buddha?"

Li Duozuo sneered.

I think it's too funny for the enemy to do this, and they don't worship God sincerely on weekdays, but they only think of worshipping God when something happens, and God doesn't bother to pay attention to them.

"Grinding guns in battle, not fast and light! It may not be useful to worship God now, but you can find some comfort in your heart!"

Lou Shide said with a smile, he didn't expect the people of Linyi to be so strange, why didn't the previous Linyi national army have it?

"How's the preparation?"

Han Shizhong, a herald, galloped over and asked.

The big war is about to begin, the arrangement of the various arms, the cooperation between each other, and so on.

"The bow and arrow phalanx is in place!"

"The Lu bus has been assembled!"

"The soldiers of all armies are in formation!"

"The trebuchet is ready!"

"Artillery positions deployed!"

The herald reported to Han Shizhong.

During these days, the Tang army was not idle, and under the command of Han Shizhong, a batch of Lu buses were built, which Han Shizhong used to use during siege warfare.

"Siege! Trebuchets fired at Champ!"

After the deployment, Han Shizhong drew his sword, pointed to the city in front of him, and gave the siege order!

Test the other party with a trebuchet first!

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The drums of the offensive sounded, and the Don army officially launched an attack on the city!

The soldier immediately turned the winch and pulled the trebuchet's long arm back to a near-horizontal position, and the soldier lowered the large stone to the spoon.

"Launch!"

As soon as the standard-bearer gave the order, the soldiers immediately released the winch, ejected the long arm of the pole, and threw the stones at the head of the city.

The defenders of the city jumped and couldn't dodge, and they were hit by stone bullets and killed on the spot!

"What about our trebuchets? Shoot back, shoot back!"

Fan Jian jumped up and down, hurriedly dodging the attack of the trebuchet, and did not forget to command people to counterattack!

Tang Jun made him so embarrassed, he had to return a tooth for a tooth, don't think that only you Tang Jun have trebuchets, my Lin Yi country's trebuchets are no worse than yours!

Hearing Fan Jian's order, the soldiers of Lin Yiguo began to assemble the trebuchet, ready to give Tang Jun a little color to see.

After assembling, the soldiers of Lin Yiguo counterattacked the Tang army outside the city, and the two sides engaged in a stone-throwing battle, and the stone bullets swept back and forth in the air.

"Order the artillerymen, give me the trebuchet to take out the city!"

Seeing this, Han Shizhong didn't plan to hide it, let Lin Yiguo know the power of the cannon, and let them know the consequences of going against the Tang Dynasty.

The flag commander immediately went to the artillery position and played the flag to destroy the trebuchet of Lin Yiguo!

"Target Zhancheng trebuchet!"

The artillery commander directs the artillery to aim, reload!

The artillery immediately adjusted the height of the mountain cannon muzzle to ensure that it could attack the head of the city.

Due to the limited accuracy of the mountain artillery, it was only necessary to rely on numbers to cover the city and destroy the enemy's trebuchets.

"Launch!"

The commander gave an order, and the mountain artillery fired cannonballs at the city!

Cannonballs burst out of the chambers, and five shells cut a graceful parabola in mid-air, before the enemy troops on the head of the city could come to their senses!

The cannonball was at the head of the city, there was a loud bang, the head of the city was filled with smoke, blowing up the enemy soldiers, a cannonball fell next to the trebuchet and exploded, and the aftermath of the explosion overturned a trebuchet!

Before the enemy could recover his senses, five more shells fell from the sky, this time adjusted, and several shells hit the trebuchet on the head of the city.

With a loud roar, a puff of smoke rose, and all the trebuchets that Lin Yiguo had placed at the head of the city were destroyed.

"What? This, this, how is this possible? ”

Fan Jian's eyes widened when he saw the destroyed trebuchet, and he looked like he had seen a ghost!

Fan Jian was shocked!

The Tang Army actually has such a powerful weapon, how can this battle be fought?

The shells kept falling and exploding, and the enemy soldiers were so frightened that they fled in all directions, but they were killed in the explosion.

General Lin Yiguo helped the frightened Fan Jian up and helped Fan Jian to escape from the city.

"Quick! Fast! Please report to the three-phase god and let the three-phase god send down heavenly punishment!"

Fan Jian, who was terrified, hurriedly shouted to the general who rescued him from the artillery fire.

At this moment of the war, Fan Jian can only pray that the three-phase god can save him, otherwise, the city is really over!

The generals were very helpless, and at this time they remembered the three supreme gods Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma, what was the use?

What so-called miracles, the guidance of the three-phase gods, are just a group of magic sticks, a trick to deceive Fan Jian, maybe people have already slipped away!

"What are you doing? If you don't help me go to the temple quickly, the widow will personally pray to the three-phase god to send a divine army to exterminate the Tang army that offended the gods!"

Fan Jian said hysterically.

The general had no choice but to help Fan Jian and walk towards the temple.

The Tang army on the Lu bus fired bows and arrows.

"Lu Gongche, forward!"

Seeing that the bombing was almost over, Han Shizhong ordered the Lu bus to advance, and after approaching the city wall, he put down the front baffle as a springboard and jumped to the head of the city to fight the enemy.

The Tang army on the Lu bus fired a wave of arrows at the head of the city, and cooperated with artillery to cover the head of the city with firepower.

"Stop it, stop it!"

The enemy generals at the head of the city shouted, wanting to organize a counterattack, but the artillery fire of the Tang army bombarded fiercely, and the archers of the Tang army covered it with bow and arrow fire.

If anyone stands up, it is equivalent to a live target, and it is no different from looking for death!

Several sharp arrows instantly shot the enemy general who had just shouted, and the enemy did not dare to come forward this time.

The Lu bus was still ten meters away from the city wall, and the artillery stopped shelling the head of the city, and then handed it over to the Tang army on the Lu bus.

After the artillery fire stopped, the enemy dared to quietly raise his head and look around, the city was full of corpses, and the Tang army outside the city was approaching pushing the Lu bus.

The timid soldiers, who were frightened by the artillery fire, still hid in the bunkers and did not dare to come out to snipe the Tang army.

The Lu bus was soon pushed to the city wall, and the Tang soldiers lowered the front baffle to form a bridge, and the Tang soldiers jumped to the top of the city to look for traces of the enemy.

Some Tang troops rushed directly down to the city, killed at the city gate, and fought with the enemy army at the city gate.

After the Tang soldiers killed the enemy, they immediately worked together to open the closed city gates.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, the soldiers would complete the first board."

Li Duozuo laughed, he didn't expect this siege battle to be so smooth!

The city that was so difficult to gnaw on before, under the cover of this artillery fire, it was easily taken!

The bird qi that I received before was swept away at this moment!

"Chief, our soldiers have opened the gates!"

Lou Shide, who had been staring at Zhancheng, said to Han Shizhong.

"Excellent! All the army is attacking! ”

Han Shizhong pointed the sword in his hand at Zhancheng and directly ordered the whole army to attack!

The Tang army launched a charge against the city and rushed in through the open gate of the cave!

After the Tang army rushed into the city, there was no resistance, and everyone knew in their hearts that the general trend of Lin Yiguo had gone, and it was better to surrender directly if they struggled senselessly.

Especially the Shudras and the untouchables, as the lowest of them, threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground.

The Tang army had a policy of waiting to be captured, and as long as they surrendered, the Tang army would not kill them.
