Chapter 638: The Battle of the Siege (I)
Outside the city of Yizhou, black clouds were thick, thundering thousands of troops, suffocating and pressing......
The vanguard army of 20,000 Xiongguan stands according to the city, the momentum is as majestic as the sea, the siege elevated is advancing step by step, and the number of thousands of horsemen and iron armor has become a peak. The cold wind on the outskirts of the city howled like a sharp blade, and the whirring iron armor let out bursts of cold roars. The soldiers and soldiers cast a heroic light, and the majesty of the war horses was mighty, and when the military order was issued, the ten thousand armies poured out like mountains and seas......
"Dada...... Da Da Da ...... Da Da Da - "Lu Jing personally sat in the middle of the army, commanding the siege of the city, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard in his ears, which was the review of the main general Tang Zhan before the battle.
Tang Zhan rode a horse, holding the Aoyue pear flower, and the cold soldiers were connected in front of the iron-armored high wall, and they all counted the number of foot horses. After a review, Tang Zhan rode back to the center and reported to Lu Jing: "Jing'er, the troops have completed the review, and all the staff are on standby—"
Lu Jing had a serious look on her face, but her expression was calm, her eyes looked firmly at the broken and old Yizhou city wall in front of her, and her left and right sideburns fluttered by the cold wind, and then she said calmly and steadily: "Okay, start attacking the city-"
After Tang Zhan received the order, Le Cai turned around and raised his gun to order: "Siege!"
"Knock-knock-knock......" The military order was immediately issued, that is, the thunderous war drums were stacked, and the neatly arranged siege elevated highway accelerated in the direction of the city pass -- under Lu Jing's planning, Xiao Tian, who was good at the tricks of the organs, gathered the skilled craftsmen in the army very early and made an elevated chariot for siege; it was a pity that the first actual battle lured Qin Yu to attack, and dozens of siege chariots were burned by Qin Yu with a fire, and now the official siege of the city uses a longer range siege viaduct, and the Yizhou side without Qin Yu is already difficult to resist.
The siege elevated troops were commanded by Xiao Tian himself, and Xiao Tian watched the flag order in the army. With the sound of war drums, he ordered the formation to attack the city and advance in an orderly manner in the direction of Yizhou. Wait until the siege elevated is within range. Xiao Tian ordered the troops to stop advancing, and then ordered: "The whole army obeys the order." Gunpowder Raid—"
The siege troops were ordered, and the elevated organs were commanded and operated by the lieutenant generals. The siege elevated tower towers into the camp, the momentum is several zhang higher than the Yizhou city pass, and is divided into several layers - the bottom layer is the advance layer, which advances rapidly with wooden wheels, and there are high-rise stairs correspondingly; the middle layer is the gunpowder layer, which is mainly made of copper cannons or siege catapult devices, which is intended to strike at the enemy's city defense; and the upper floor is the wooden ladder frame layer, which is used for infantry to climb the ladder. Rushing into the enemy's city wall with its high momentum, as if walking on the ground, it replaces the role of the ladder very well. The three floors of the high school and the low level have both fire prevention measures, attacking nearly ten elevated left and right viaducts, each of which can accommodate more than 100 siege soldiers, Xiao Tian used the mechanism to invent such siege weapons, it can be said that it took a lot of effort, and today's siege is also just in handy......
Gunpowder raids, that is, for elevated mid-level copper cannons and catapult devices. Except for the powerful bronze cannons. The catapult device is also equipped with gunpowder stone mines, which are commonly known as "earth-shattering thunder" in the army. Xiao Tian's military order was issued, and the copper cannons were fired in unison, only to see the fire on the Yizhou city wall exploding and the city wall about to collapse. "Boom-" Thunder rolled in, and the earth-shattering thunder flew into the sky like flying fire, and some even flew over the city wall. exploded in Yizhou City, and Yizhou Gaocheng suddenly fell into a sea of fire......
"Boom-boom-boom-......boom- It seems that this time the vanguard army wants to take Yizhou with an iron heart, and they will show no mercy......
"Jing'er. The enemy's city defense is vulnerable, and it won't take long for our army to break through-" Tang Zhan looked at the spectacular sea of fire in front of him and smiled excitedly.
"Such a siege, the enemy army will definitely be unable to defend, if Luo Mu has the intention to fight, he will send cavalry troops out of the city to meet the battle, and destroy our army's siege weapons......" Lu Jing was very calm in the battle, while watching the battle situation in front of him, while analyzing the next countermeasures," Ordered the cavalry of the Five Absolute Formations to dispatch, and flew Zhao Zichuan as the vanguard, personally led the army to resist the main force of the enemy out of the city, and led the army to resist the main force of the enemy out of the city; Nangong Jun Murong Fei on the left and right wings led the cavalry of the wing to infiltrate the left and right outside the city, sniping the enemy reinforcements who came to the wing to assist in the defense, and covering the siege elevated soldiers to climb the ladder to attack the city; the elite soldiers of the Chinese army marched forward in the 'Miyagi phalanx', followed by Zhao Zichuan's cavalry troops, and arranged in a rectangular formation, with spears in the middle gap, to resist the enemy's death charge with fish scales infiltration formation; and finally ordered Lu Zhao to follow, Lu Meng and Murong Ying led the reinforcements to infiltrate from the left and right paths, and went around to the back of the enemy's city gate in a roundabout way to cut off the enemy's main general's retreat. After everything is finished, the enemy army will be in chaos under the city, and the siege soldiers will climb the ladder and climb the city, fight with the enemy army defending the high city, and take the city pass in one go!
"Yes-" The military order was in front, Tang Zhan did not dare to be sloppy, and immediately turned around after receiving the order, signaled the flag army to give the order, and the "Five Absolute Formations" immediately took action......
Yizhou City Guards the Imperial Office......
"Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom......" Bursts of artillery were chaotic, constantly shocking the Mengyuan soldiers defending the city, and the shaking of the ground and the shaking of the mountains made the whole army panic......
"Whoosh-boom-" A shocking thunderbolt exploded in front of the city wall, and with a terrible scream, more than a dozen Mengyuan soldiers were directly blown away, the flames splashed everywhere, the flesh and blood were blurred, and their tragic situation could not bear to look at directly.
In the face of the slow advance of the siege viaduct, the gunpowder thunder was fired one after another, and the defenders of Yizhou, who lacked firearms defense, not only broke their morale, but also had no choice. The siege viaduct is like a towering hell tower, rushing towards the broken body of the old nine in Yizhou, and it seems that the next moment more than a dozen siege viaducts can work together to collapse the entire Yizhou city......
"Whoosh-boom-" There was another burst of thunder, which crossed the high-rise buildings of the city wall and flew directly to the stone stairs in the city, and exploded on the stairs. Before the soldiers who wanted to go to the city to assist in the defense could react in time, they felt a hot blow on their heads, and then the soles of their feet exploded with firelight, and after a few screams, many soldiers were directly blown apart......
"General, the enemy army is attacking the city with powerful firearms, and our army lacks gunpowder and equipment, so it is difficult to resist-" In the main building of the city, Luo Mu was trying to find a way to deal with the strong offensive of the vanguard army, but his generals were worried and asked urgently.
"Boom-" Before he could speak, a shocking thunderbolt hit the roof of the main building impartially, and the eaves of the roof were almost completely blown open. Smoke rose after the shocking fire, and Luo Mu and other generals were even more frightened and bowed their heads to cover for a while.
Wait until Luo Mu looks up. Not to mention that the soldiers in their hands have been killed and injured, and their subordinates have all become frightened. Although Luo Mu is corrupt. But the enemy is still not going to throw in easily. Seeing the thick smoke outside the door, more than a dozen siege viaducts were rushing towards the Yizhou city wall, Luo Mu simply ordered: "Assemble the elite cavalry troops of the whole army, and go out of the city with this general to meet the enemy - the enemy's siege elevated weapons are coming, and the lower part of it must be the key to the chassis, as long as the bottom defense is destroyed, the enemy will not attack the city!"
The generals felt that Luo Mu was reasonable, and they had to say that from the perspective of the art of war. This is indeed the right response. But this was already in Lu Jing's calculations, and in the various departments under the city, Lu Jing had already set up a net for Luo Mu......
While dodging the cannon fire flying overhead, Luo Mu went downstairs in full gear, preparing to gather all the elite cavalry troops in the city and go out of the city to fight as hard as he could. However, when he rushed to the stairs and saw the tragic situation of the stairs of the city tower being blown into ruins by gunpowder, Luo Mu was also shocked. But Luo Mu has no intention of caring about him now, and he hates and fears him in his heart. Immediately ordered the brave soldiers of the whole army to go out together.
The cavalry troops downstairs were already on standby, although they suffered a surprise attack on gunpowder, but they were confident in the goodness of the Mengyuan soldiers in the plain cavalry, and Luo Mu was still very confident in resisting the enemy's invasion of the city......
"Open the city gate-" Luo Mu raised his knife and ordered loudly.
"Squeak-bang" There was a muffled sound from the old and broken city gate. The city gate opened, and what greeted Luo Mu was the vast army of the vanguard army.
But Luo Mu didn't care too much. Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the vanguard army was not yet close, Luo Mu wanted to disperse the cavalry in the army in the shortest possible time. Smash the enemy's siege viaduct.
"Left and right separated, and the cavalry units separately destroyed the enemy elevated. Immediately after the incident, the city gate was concentrated - "Luo Mu led the troops to rush out of the city, and shouted in the chaos.
There were a lot of Mengyuan cavalry, and there were nearly 10,000 people after leaving the city, and they rode brave horses to obey Luo Mu's momentum and went away separately......
"Luo Mu has come out, and he has entered the battle in the Five Peerless Army-" Lu Jing's eyes were certain, and he looked at Luo Mu at the gate of Yizhou City in front of him, and then ordered.
Tang Zhan nodded, and immediately ordered the flag army to give orders to the troops in front......
Luo Mu finished separating the left and right cavalry troops, and he led the main force of the Chinese army to fight in front, first, to buy time for the left and right to destroy the enemy's viaduct, and then to take advantage of Meng Yuan's riding skills to win several small battles in the front to dismiss the morale of the army. But it's a pity that Luo Mu is about to deal with the first fierce general in the vanguard army, Zhao Zichuan, the "flying cavalry god general".
"Flying Horse Zhao Zichuan has been killed!-" Sure enough, before Luo Mu came back to his senses, a familiar and terrifying killing roar was coming right in front of him.
Luo Mu turned his head and saw the yellow and green sword lights of the "Qiankun Two Swords" staggered. Luo Mu hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, but the cavalry behind him was not spared-"Ah-" "Ah-" Zhao Zichuan's swordsmanship was sharp, and he took the lives of the enemy generals behind him in the left and right styles, and after a scream, he was killed and fell off the horse......
Before Luo Mu could recover from his surprise, Zhao Zichuan had already raised his sword and said intimidatingly: "Hmph, Luo Mu'er, I captured Ru Sheng in the jungle last time, but because Qin Yu exchanged prisoners, I let you live...... Now that Qin Yu has been defeated, you will never be lucky again - you colluded with Wang Xuan and Wang Xin's father and son to kill General Qin Yu's family, and today is your death!"
After speaking, Zhao Zichuan flew over, and raised his sword towards Luo Mu's head.
Luo Mu's move was not as sharp as Zhao Zichuan's, so he had to hurriedly resist with a knife. But Zhao Zichuan's courage is not the enemy of Luo Mu's generation? Zhao Zichuan's eyes are quick, and before Luo Mu can react, the Kun sword in his right hand is recruited, and the swift shadow crosses Luo Mu's waist, the turquoise sword light flashes, and the new "Cloud Breaking Sword Technique" is coming out, although Luo Mu finds that his waist is cold, and he intends to avoid it, but it is too late.
Luo Mu poured his body extremely out, but he still couldn't dodge completely, and as a result, not only did he suffer the internal injury of the "Cloud Breaking Sword Technique" on his waist, but also because he lost his strength to dodge the hand holding the knife, and his wrist was also cut by the "Dry Sword".
Luo Mu endured the severe pain and wanted to rein in the horse, but Zhao Zichuan didn't give him a chance at all, wanting to end Luo Mu's life with one move and avenge Qin Yu with his own hands. But Luo Mu avoided it, but the Meng Yuan soldiers behind him desperately stepped forward to rescue, and the three generals of Meng Yuan came together.
"Kill him—" one of the riders shouted, and swung his sword away with all three of them.
"Kill me, hmph, you also have this ability?" Zhao Zichuan sneered contemptuously, and the Kun sword in his hand gathered strength, and with one move, he blocked the Miao knives of the three cavalry generals one after another.
Although Zhao Zichuan's strength was not as strong as Qin Yu's, his arm strength was also enough to resist the combined force of Meng Yuanshu. Three defeated one, Meng Yuan cavalry general felt the oppression of Zhao Zichuan's strength, and was still in amazement, Zhao Zichuan turned around with a sword, the golden sword light was like thunder and lightning, a terrible roar, the "Thunder Shadow Sword Technique" was killed like lightning, and the enemy soldiers in the formation were in armor.
There was a burst of sparks, and the armor of the three soldiers of Meng Yuan was cut to pieces on the spot by Zhao Zichuan's sword. It's not over, the three soldiers haven't come back to their senses, Zhao Zichuan has both swords back, and the left and right merge the best "thirty-six consecutive slashes", like the yellow and green sword light of the clouds and shadows staggered from the sky, and the blood and flesh of the Mengyuan soldiers are staggered, and they have been seriously injured and fallen off the horse before they have exhausted their tricks, and they are basically unable to fight again.
Zhao Zichuan didn't have time to take care of these miscellaneous fish soldiers, his target was only Luo Mu. But when Zhao Zichuan wanted to look up again, Luo Mu had already retreated a little.
"Luo Mu'er Hugh wants to escape-" Zhao Zichuan roared hard, and the military heart behind him suddenly lifted, and he followed Zhao Zichuan with the two generals Li Xian and Li Gong.
Of course, Meng Yuanjing's cavalry is naturally not defeated in a battle, and he is good at riding soldiers, and his combat power is naturally not small, plus the number is not inferior to Zhao Zichuan's department, and it is incumbent on him to block and cover the retreat of the main general Luo Mu. Even if Zhao Zichuan is brave and swordsmanship, it will be difficult to fight a bloody way in front of Meng Yuanzhong in a short period of time.
"Ah-" There is no way, Zhao Zichuan roared angrily, so he had to entangle with the Mengyuan cavalry here first, wait until they were killed, and then ask Luo Mu about things.
"Flying Cavalry Zhao Zichuan killed-" The yellow-green sword light flashed, and Zhao Zichuan was the first to rush into the enemy group......
On the left and right flanks, the Mengyuan cavalry army that had been arranged to destroy the elevated vanguard army had already arrived, but what was waiting for them was the five peerless cavalry that Nangong Jun Murong Fei had been waiting for early......
Nangong Jun Murong Fei is separated from each other, although they are not in the same place, the two brothers have a good heart, not to mention arriving at the destination at the same time, the cavalry formation is also surprisingly similar, and they move in sync......
"Nangong Jun is here, Meng Yuan's thief is rampant!-" Seeing Meng Yuan's cavalry coming, Nangong Jun not only was not afraid, but also raised the morale of the army and roared loudly.
Nangong is handsome, and the riders behind him are naturally a hundred times more combative. Meng Yuan's cavalry rushed in, and Nangong Jun carried a snake spear in his hand and took the lead in the soldiers.
"Kill-" Seeing Nangong Jun killing alone, Meng Yuan's cavalry disdainfully swung his sword away.
"Wait for the speed of death!-" After Nangong Jun Chang was a while, the "Sky Splitting Divine Spear" swung from above and down, and a longitudinal splitting mountain force came, not only breaking away the enemy's cavalry in the middle of the road, but also leaving a deep ditch in the middle of the dust road.
Meng Yuan's cavalry did not see Nangong Jun's spirit and strength, and Nangong Jun had already come with a flying horse and a spear.
"Ahh
"Ah-" "Ah-" Two screams, two shots hit the chest of the enemy generals on the left and right, both of them were killed with one move - Nangong Jun's move was crisp and neat, and the snake spear's move was accurate and steady.
was picked by Nangong Jun alone and picked two generals in a row, it was still so easy, Meng Yuanjun's heart was unconsciously disturbed. Taking advantage of the chaos, Nangong Jun's cavalry troops were greatly invigorated, shouting to kill the heavens, and they came with iron hooves.
"Kill-" Nangong Jun, as the chief general of the army, took the lead in giving orders, and the whole army was in one place with the Mengyuan cavalry. With Nangong Jun's brave command to kill the enemy, the vanguard army was even more powerful, not only easily blocking the Mengyuan cavalry who came to support the wing, but also won valuable time for the siege of the elevated city......
Not only Nangong Jun, but also Murong Fei of the right wing troops, the right wing reinforcements of the Mengyuan Cavalry Division came, Murong Fei looked fixedly, holding a long sword in his hand and waiting for a long time......
"General Qin, I'm here to avenge your Qin family......" Murong Fei also had the same idea as Zhao Zichuan and his sister, waved his long sword, and then shouted, "Little thief Mengyuan, suffer death quickly!"
Murong Fei roared and went first...... (To be continued.) )
