Chapter 277: Beiping Ice City! Li Jinglong is full of remorse!
Early the next morning.
Li Jinglong put on armor and went into battle.
The commander of the Southern Army gave the order for a general attack in high spirits.
Today, he will come to the battlefield in person, command 200,000 elites of the Southern Army, and break through Beiping City in one fell swoop!
As long as the city of Beiping is broken, the Yan army will be defeated!
However, just as he was being ambitious, a guard brought bad news.
"General, Qu Neng's father and son did not come, saying that they were too injured to fight."
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Li Jinglong's eyes.
But after all, he was the first to calculate the others, and he almost got Qu Neng's father and son to die in Changyimen.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Jinglong waved his hand, too lazy to bother with this Qu Neng.
He is not the only fierce general in the Southern Army, if he doesn't come, he won't come!
Beiping City is already crumbling, and Qu Neng almost broke through the Changyi Gate yesterday and entered the city.
Since Qu Neng can do it, why can't he, the commander of the Southern Army, do it?
"Pass my military orders!"
"Officers and soldiers of the three armies, the whole army will attack!"
"Beiping City must be broken today, and the first to break the city will be given a thousand gold!"
Giving a thousand taels of gold, of course, is not really a reward of a thousand taels of gold, but a false finger.
Anyway, it is to tell the soldiers that those who break the city first can get great benefits, which is enough to boost morale!
Just as Li Jinglong expected, as soon as he heard his words, the soldiers of the Southern Army immediately went crazy, and rushed to the Beiping city wall with a roar.
Attacking Beiping City, they can be regarded as "experienced".
Cloud ladders, rushing carts, wooden curtains, battering rams, etc., all kinds of siege equipment were transported to the battlefield, ready to give the final blow to the crumbling Beiping City.
And in the distance, there are artillery and trebuchets constantly pouring artillery fire cover, providing great confidence for the officers and men of the Southern Army!
Li Jinglong sat on the top of the nest car, and he had already begun to fantasize about entering Beiping City.
The nest car, also known as the building car, is a strategic weapon for attacking the city.
This is a kind of observation vehicle specially used to observe the enemy's situation, the bottom of the car is equipped with wheels, which can be pushed, and can appear anywhere on the battlefield at any time, and the outside is covered with raw cowhide to prevent the enemy from destroying the arrows and stones.
Li Jinglong did not forget to let the guards warm the wine, and he had a proud posture of "warm wine breaks through Beiping".
However, what happened next made him stand on the spot in an instant.
The soldiers of the Southern Army who rushed to the front had broken through the Yan Army's arrow rain defense line, and successfully forced the rows of cloud ladders against the head of Beiping City.
This ladder is a kind of sharp weapon for climbing the city wall, the bottom frame is made of wood as a bed, six wheels are placed below, the ladder body is fixed on the chassis at a certain angle, and a movable "auxiliary ladder" is added outside the main ladder, the top is equipped with a pair of rollers, when ascending the city, the ladder can move up and down freely along the city wall, and no longer need people to carry it on their shoulders.
Because the main ladder adopts a fixed device, simplifying the ladder erection procedure and shortening the ladder erection time, so when the southern army soldiers are attacking the city, they only need to stop the main ladder under the city, and then set up a secondary ladder on the main ladder, so that they can "sleep on the city", which greatly reduces the danger and difficulty of erecting the ladder in front of the enemy.
There are many ways to attack the city, but most of them are based on the premise of quickly ascending the city, and the ladder must be bold, fast, and take advantage of the situation to enter the city, as long as you climb the city through the ladder, and then take advantage of the situation to enter the city, you can do it in one go, and quickly break through the city defense.
In the previous hundreds of siege battles, the southern army used the cloud ladder to be invincible, which could always cause great trouble to the Yan army, and even almost captured a certain city several times.
Today, however, they have miscalculated.
The ladder had just reached the top of the city, but it was never able to get closer.
The soldiers of the Southern Army couldn't stand this ladder steadily, and finally set up a stable, and before they could climb up, the Yan army at the head of the city just pushed it slightly, and the entire ladder began to tilt and sway, and it was difficult to climb at all.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
The officers and men of the Southern Army were full of confusion.
One of them pointed to the mirror-smooth walls and let out a cry of horror.
"That's not right!"
"It's ice!"
"How so? How can this get to the city? ”
Ice!
The walls of Beiping are covered with ice!
All the soldiers of the Southern Army were dumbfounded, and when they looked closely, they saw that the entire Beiping city wall was covered with a thick layer of ice, smooth as a mirror, and difficult to climb.
Even if the ladder leaned on it, it was useless, and the Yan army began to tilt and fall crookedly with a slight push, and the soldiers of the Southern Army did not dare to climb the ladder.
", why did Beiping become an ice city overnight?"
Countless officers and men of the Southern Army roared, unable to accept this cruel truth.
However, they were stunned, but the soldiers of the Yan Army, who had been prepared, were not stunned.
Chen Heng stood on top of the city, looked at the bewildered soldiers of the Southern Army below, and let out a hearty laugh.
"Hahaha......"
"Southern army miscellaneous, now it's your turn to be dumbfounded, right?"
"Pass my military order, shoot arrows, and shoot these Southern army miscellaneous!"
With Chen Heng's order, the soldiers of the Yan army quickly came out and shot arrows wildly at the southern army below.
For a while, the terrible screams resounded in the sky, and many soldiers of the Southern Army were shot into hedgehogs on the spot.
The rest of the southern army saw that the situation was not right, so they turned around and ran away, not even the ladder.
I can't climb the city wall, so why do you continue to stay here, do you want to be a live target?
Li Jinglong drank and wrote poems on the nest car, and he was unrestrained and chic.
However, the good news did not come, but a bad news came.
"General, the front-line infantry has been defeated!"
"Bastard!" Li Jinglong was furious when he heard this, "What's the matter? Why did they rout? ”
"According to their city, Beiping has become an ice city, and it is impossible to climb at all, but it has become a live target of the Yan army!"
Beiping, the ice city?
Li Jinglong's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly got up to take a look.
The originally crumbling city of Beiping was covered with a layer of ice at this moment, but it became indestructible!
Even the stone buckshot fired by the artillery trebuchet smashed on it, but it only smashed a layer of broken ice, and it was difficult to shake the ice mirror!
This is...... What's going on?
Li Jinglong was dumbfounded, and then let out a beast-like terrible roar.
"Pass my military order, the whole army storms the city gate, and storms with a battering ram, and the city must be broken today!"
That's right, you must break the city today, otherwise he Li Jinglong will become a joke!
Yesterday, Qu Neng took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Yan army, personally led 3,000 iron armor to bravely enter the city, and directly killed through the Changyi Gate, as long as the main army arrived, the southern army could enter Beiping City through the Changyi Gate.
But in order to snatch military merits, he Li Jinglong stubbornly withdrew his troops and missed this God-given opportunity.
As a result, the heaven-killing Yan army came up with such a countermeasure in just one night, turning Beiping into an ice city!
The crumbling walls are now impregnable!
If he, Li Jinglong, couldn't capture Beiping today, he would be completely reduced to a joke, or a hopelessly stupid joke!
"Break the city!"
"The city must be broken!"
"Storm the city gates, go quickly!"
Li Jinglong roared frantically, no longer his previous calm appearance.
However, the Yan army had been busy all night, and how could they forget the vital point of the city gate, where the ice was even thicker than the city wall.
So when the Southern battering ram hit it, it really didn't feel at all.
In addition, there are also a large number of people gathered here on their own, firmly resisting the impact of the enemy army with their bodies, densely packed, thousands.
This is the case at every city gate, and if anyone sees this spectacular scene, I am afraid that they will truly understand what is "the desire of the people"!
Zhu Gaochi's three-hundred-pound body finally came into play, and he leaned on the Changyi Gate first.
"Quick!"
"A few more brothers!"
"The enemy is attacking too hard!"
The prince gave an order, and hundreds of people rushed up.
"Oops...... Slow down, slow down, don't get a stampede. ”
"Who is that, what about you, you were squeezed forward by the special people, and you rushed to reincarnate!"
Zhu Gaochi scolded angrily, and everyone suddenly burst into laughter after hearing this.
The originally heavy atmosphere became a lot lighter because of his voice.
Nest car above.
The guards were kneeling on the ground and pleading.
"General, collect the troops!"
"The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, Beiping Ice City is impregnable, and continuing to attack will only increase casualties!"
Li Jinglong's buttocks slumped on the ground, with two big words written on his face - regret!
"Mingjin retreats!"
After gritting his teeth and saying this, Li Jinglong was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
"General?"
"Qu can mistake me!"
"Qu can mistake me!"
This time, his name Li Jinglong will spread all over the country and become a laughing stock in the world!
After Li Jinglong scolded the last sentence, his eyes went dark, and he passed out directly.
The golden sound of the southern army sounded, and it instantly receded like a tide.
Seeing this, the soldiers of the Yan army erupted in deafening cheers.
"Su Sheng is mighty!"
"Su Sheng is mighty!"
"Su Sheng is mighty!"
