Chapter 696: Fierce Battle
Early the next morning.
In the sky above Qingyuan County, even if the rain stops, there is still a gloomy haze that cannot be dispersed.
On the city wall, there was already a river of blood, and the Daji soldiers were lifting the corpses of the Beidi people on the city wall and throwing them under the city.
The corpses were piled up layer after layer under the base of the city walls. Blood mixed with rain accumulated a large pool.
The generals on the city wall have serious and murderous faces!
They were on crutches with knives and guns, gasping for air.
After a hard night's fighting, I was already tired and didn't want to speak again.
But outside the city, the Beidi army gathered again, more than ten giant trebuchets, towering into the clouds, shrouded in a rain and fog, dense Beidi phalanx, to the city wall of the people a lot of pressure.
On the lookout platform on Yangshan, Yelu Wu raised his chin slightly and looked at the tiny Qingyuan County.
Then squinted his eyes.
When marching and fighting, you have to fight with all your might.
Last night's sneak attack, although it was defused by the other party, the other party fought hard all night and was exhausted.
This is a good time to attack.
Immediately, Yelu Wu raised her hand and waved it forward.
"Whew-"
"Woo-"
The horn of the attack pierced the sky and sounded dullly.
The Beidi army, which could not be seen at a glance, roared and shook the sky, and began to move forward slowly.
……
……
Chen Chao stared at the head of the city, without the joy of just repelling the enemy's sneak attack, and only seriousness remained on his face.
The enemy's commander was a master, and he originally thought that the enemy was afraid of the power of the flintlock pistol in the past few days, and did not dare to attack again.
Who knew that the enemy had already planned, and secretly, he asked people to dig dozens of tunnels leading to the city, and then took advantage of the heavy rain last night to launch a surprise attack.
If it was an ordinary defender guarding Qingyuan, I am afraid that the city would have been destroyed in the sneak attack last night!
"How's the situation in the city?" Chen Chao looked out of the city and spoke in a condensed voice.
"More than 20 holes, all of them collapsed." Someone answered.
"The Beidi soldiers in the city have also been almost cleared."
Hearing this, Chen Chao nodded.
After thinking about it, Chen Chao on the city wall spoke again:
"Qingshan County, what's the situation over there?"
"As always, Di Dog makes daily feints to pin down friendly forces and prevent them from coming to their aid."
Sonor!
Hearing this, Chen Chao coldly pulled out the first knife in the scabbard.
glanced at the generals around him, and then said in a deep voice:
"In that case, then don't think about anyone coming to our aid, we can only rely on ourselves here!"
"Yes!"
The generals clenched their fists in unison.
……
"It's coming!"
As if the earth was shaking, the iron hooves of the war horses stepped on the ground, and the sound made made made people's ears hurt.
On the city wall, the crowd looked up.
Tens of thousands of Beidi cavalry, while drawing bows and shooting arrows at the city, rushed closer.
Airplanes!
A rain of arrows rises into the air.
The sky darkened suddenly, and countless bows and arrows formed a dark and dull patch in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, it will fall on the head of the city.
"Hide!"
"Raise the shield!"
The people on the city wall hurriedly hid and raised their shields.
Defend against the enemy's rain of arrows.
Tuk tuk!
The rain of arrows fell heavily on the shield and instantly shot into a hornet's nest.
"Musket battalion!!"
With a shout, the soldiers of the musket battalion took advantage of the gap between enemy arrows to raise their flintlock pistols and fire back outside the city.
Bang bang bang!
After the gunfire rang out, the Beidi cavalry, who rushed to the front, instantly fell a large piece.
But soon, the Beidi cavalry in the back made up for it.
Drawing their bows and firing arrows, another round of arrows rained down on the city, and the musket battalion soldiers had to raise their shields and hide.
Call!
Along with tens of thousands of arrows, the enemy's trebuchets also began to operate.
Boulders rose into the air and were thrown off the city.
"Boom!"
A boulder shot out of the trebuchet and smashed it into the tower of the city wall with precision.
After a loud bang, a large hole was smashed into the tower, and the roof tiles fell down in a flutter.
Bricks, dusty sky, people closer, including Chen Chao, were almost hit.
Call! Call!
Dozens of trebuchets threw stones at the city wall one after another.
The Daji soldiers, who couldn't dodge, were smashed into meat sauce in an instant, and their limbs were shattered.
And under the city wall, the Beidi foot soldiers who followed behind the cavalry were about to approach the city wall.
"Artillery battalion!"
"Knock out the opponent's trebuchet!"
A loud shout.
The soldiers lifted the red cloth covering dozens of cannons on the city wall, and the blackened cannons revealed their true faces.
Calibrated with the barrel aimed at the trebuchet in the distance.
"Reload!"
The soldiers of the artillery battalion opened the box on the ground, took the shell from it, and together they stuffed it into the barrel.
"Ignition!"
The lieutenant of the artillery battalion raised the knife in his hand.
Then he gave the order with a roar.
"Bang .....!"
The sound shook the sky, and those who were close to felt a ringing in their ears, and in the blink of an eye, the cannonballs rose into the air and struck straight at the enemy trebuchet position.
Rumble!
A moment later, the cannonball accurately hit one of the enemy's trebuchets, accompanied by a huge explosion, the tall and heavy trebuchet was instantly blown into countless pieces by the cannonball, tilting to one side and collapsing, accompanied by the screams of several Beidi soldiers who were blown up into the sky.
"Put it again!"
The lieutenant roared again.
Dozens of cannons on the city wall fired in unison.
Whistling hits the enemy's trebuchet position, and in a matter of moments, the enemy's trebuchet is reduced to pieces.
From the lookout, Yeluwu couldn't believe her eyes as she watched her trebuchet position easily destroyed by the enemy.
There was a rare look of shock on her face.
Around her, several of the guards also watched in shock.
The trebuchet position had turned black, some screamed in panic, and some cried bitterly.
They don't understand what the hell the other person is throwing at them?
Why did it just hit the ground like a thunderbolt and directly smashed their giant trebuchet.
In the face of fear, they almost collapsed!
But who knows, several generals of Beidi drew their knives and shouted:
"Don't panic! The warriors of the steppe are invincible! Rush! Kill the enemy for Lao Tzu! ”
"Who dares to take a step back, Lao Tzu will be merciless under the knife!"
The Beidi generals knew very well in their hearts that they could not allow fear to continue to spread in the hearts of ordinary soldiers.
If that continues, this battle will not be won!
The only solution is to rush!
Under Qingyuan City, the momentum of the siege did not pause because of artillery.
There are more and more corpses of Beidi people under the city.
After the artillery knocked out the enemy's trebuchet position, it continued to select targets and open random fire, and the deep pit smashed by the shells could not stop the advance of the Beidi soldiers.
"Crazy! They're all crazy! They're all crazy! At the head of the city, some soldiers saw the continuous attack of the Beidi people, and vomited hoarsely.
"It's crazy! We're going crazy too! ”
"All of them! Kill me, and don't let a single dog climb the walls! ”
Someone shouted loudly, and before he had time to change the flintlock pistol, he picked up the bow and shot arrows down.
"Kill!"
.....
Stomp and tread.
Thousands of miles away, on the river.
The iron-locked warships were connected on the river, and the front of the troops pointed straight to the north.
The envoys of Beidi stepped on the warship, hurried to the side of the Emperor of Chu, and shouted loudly:
"Our army has begun to attack the capital of Daji!"
"Please also send troops from your country!"
"The princess said, as long as your country is willing to send troops, the conditions are at the request of His Majesty the Emperor."
The voice was extremely loud, and it seemed to have exhausted all the strength of his life.
Emperor Chu stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the land across the river, drew the sword at his waist, gave the order to attack, and waved his army north.
