Chapter 1 Offensive and defensive battles (II) two watches
After the Jin soldiers received the order, dozens of people rushed into the city cave to push the corpse on the knife cart, and a hundred people also pushed behind, Luo Tianchu They had enough strength to resist the knife cart, at this time the soldiers of the Blood Knife Fort regained control of the city gate, Luo Tianchu turned around and shouted: "As soon as the knife cart came out of the city gate, you closed the city gate, did you hear?" A soldier said: "What should you do with the commander?" Luo Tianchu said: "We have our own way, do what I say." After the soldier received the order, Luo Tianchu said: "Everyone push it out!" The six of them made ten successful forces at the same time, and the hundred golden soldiers couldn't stop it, so they pushed it out, and the city gate closed with a 'squeak', and the soldiers on the city wall immediately released arrows to cover, and Wu Jie let the soldiers hang down six strong hemp ropes. Jin Bing hurriedly raised his shield to block the arrows, and the six people took the opportunity to get out from behind the knife cart, flew to grab the hemp rope, stepped on the city wall, and jumped up. When the soldiers saw them retreating, they all cheered.
Wan Yanli and Li Xiu suddenly jumped off their horses, rushed to the base of the city wall in two or three steps, grabbed the hanging hemp rope and climbed up, but after just a few steps, they felt that their bodies were empty and fell down. It turned out that Lu Yi's eyes were quick and he cut the hemp rope in time. Luo Tianchu raised his eyes and saw that the siege equipment and the main army were still three hundred zhang away, Ni Hongyan, Chu Laike, Li Qingwan, and Ji Wa were also in the formation, and 30,000 gold soldiers had gathered under the city wall, if there was no siege equipment to help, no one would want to attack the city wall, and if he didn't take the opportunity to slaughter the gold soldiers and wait for when, he immediately ordered: "Shoot the arrows with all your might!" The long-range troops of the Blood Knife Fort were seven thousand people, the archers and crossbowmen all released the arrows, and the ghosts under the city cried wolf howls, and Wanyan Wushu waved his knife to block the arrows, and ordered: "Quickly retreat, change the siege equipment up!" The golden soldiers retreated like a tidal wave, and the siege engines in the rear advanced forward. Luo Tianchu said: "Rest on the siege equipment, shoot the retreating Jin soldiers with all your might! The generals who defend the eastern and western cities will return to their positions and prepare to defend the city!" After Wu Jie and Yue Yun received the order, they each brought people to the city wall to garrison.
After each round of arrows, there were always pieces of golden soldiers who fell to the ground with a scream, and by the time the golden soldiers retreated to 200 zhang away, they had already lost six or seven thousand people. Wanyan Wushu said fiercely: "Siege the city on three sides, trebuchet cover." The 70,000 gold soldiers were divided into three, 20,000 to attack the east gate, 20,000 to attack the west gate, and 30,000 to continue to attack the north gate.
'Boom, ......boom, boom, boom' and 'boom' made a loud noise, and fifty trebuchets fired three or four hundred stone projectiles at the same time, hitting the three city walls. Luo Tianchu said in a loud voice: "The soldiers on the city wall should pay attention to dodging, and the soldiers under the city wall will lie down against the wall! "Knock knock knock ......" stone chips all over the sky, most of the stones hit the city wall, the whole city trembled, more than a dozen soldiers did not dodge, were stoned to death on the spot, the people in the city were also stoned to death dozens of people, under the command of the soldiers to learn to lie down along the wall. The trebuchet fired two more rounds of stone projectiles, and Wanyan Wushu was afraid that the stone bullets would accidentally injure the attacking Jin soldiers, so he pulled out ten catapults and pushed them to the east and west gates, facing the wall and throwing stones, so that the chance of accidental injury was much smaller, and he instructed the trebuchets to fire higher than the city wall and smash into the city, rather than hit the wall, so that the stones fell and injured their own people. Wanyan Lou thought to himself that although Wushu was arrogant, he was indeed an excellent commander, and even such a small detail was taken into account. ”
Although the arrows of the Blood Knife Fort are fierce, the golden soldiers who can push the equipment are hiding in the dark compartment and cannot be injured, and the accompanying golden soldiers also carry shields, and only the three-bow bed crossbow can shoot through the shield to kill the golden soldiers. Luo Tianchu ordered that except for the three-bow bed crossbow, the other archers should slow down the release of arrows, so as not to consume too many arrows. The first wave rushed to the city wall is the ladder car, 200 ladder cars have just been erected, the folding ladder will be erected against the wall, a pair of iron hooks at the top of the ladder firmly grasp the edge of the city, the golden soldiers under the city have stepped on the ladder, quickly climbed up. The soldiers of the Blood Knife Fort threw arrows into the city, but the golden soldiers climbed the ladder with one hand and shielded it with the other. After the archers retreated, the spearmen stepped on top, condescendingly blocking the golden soldiers who were about to come up.
The three sections of the city wall are equipped with fifty 'hook hands', and the big axes, thick knives, and iron hammers in their hands frequently cut off the hooks of the ladder, and then the soldiers pushed the ladder together, and the ladder fell to the ground with a series of golden soldiers, and they were seriously injured if they did not die. This tactic was quite effective, and the ladders fell from the city walls one after another, destroying sixty or seventy at once. The trebuchets of the golden soldiers were already in place, and another salvo of missiles was fired, and the soldiers were hiding or hiding, and some of the golden soldiers took the opportunity to jump onto the city wall. The soldiers of the Blood Knife Fort fought back again, blocked the ladder, and came up to kill one by one, and the corpses of the golden soldiers fell one after another like dumplings.
The second wave of equipment was the siege tower, the top of the siege tower was like a small fortress, there were partitions and windows, soldiers could hide in it and shoot arrows, and in the middle was a drawbridge, which could be lowered at any time to set up the edge of the city, and the golden soldiers could go up to the city through the drawbridge. When they saw that there were not many companions on the wall, they did not rush up to the city, but hid themselves in the partitions and shot arrows at the city. The soldiers of the Blood Knife Fort suddenly became a live target for the golden soldiers, and many of them were killed by arrows. According to the plan, the tactic of dealing with the siege tower was a fire attack, but the siege tower was not close to the city wall, and the prepared vegetable oil could not be poured on it, so the shield hand had to block the front, and the archer reflected back when the golden soldiers changed arrows, but the opponent had a partition to cover, and the effect was not good. Fortunately, the towers at the top of the siege tower are limited, and they can only accommodate a few golden soldiers to release arrows, otherwise the Blood Knife Fort will really suffer heavy losses. Seeing that the situation was passive, Luo Tianchu and other generals immediately picked up the prepared vegetable oil barrels, transported the internal force and threw it on the siege tower, and after splashing three or four barrels, they lit up the rocket and shot it. Four or five siege towers burned at the same time, and the golden soldiers in the towers hurriedly fled down the spiral ladder for their lives. Although the siege towers that were burned were only a few for a while, the burning flames had a shocking effect. Luo Tianchu and the other leaders continued to open the barrels, pouring out vegetable oil, and more and more siege towers were ignited by rockets.
At this time, the Jin country's crashing cars had arrived under the city, and each crashing car was equipped with eight Jin soldiers, who shook the ropes, shook the wooden stakes to the highest point, and slammed into the city gate and city wall, making a loud "boom, boom", and stone chips flew sideways. The three gates of the monk were all wooden gates, which were more fragile than the city walls, and although they were supported by eight top gate posts, dozens of soldiers were still required to use their bodies to support the gates. Every impact of the stake shook the ears of the soldiers at the top gate, but they were stubborn and determined not to take a step back.
The offensive and defensive battle officially kicked off, although there were many casualties among the golden soldiers, but everyone followed one after another, not afraid of death, under the cover of the siege tower and trebuchet, there were more and more golden soldiers who climbed the city wall, and the golden soldiers in the siege tower also put down the drawbridge and went to the city to help the battle, and the two armies fought on the city wall. This battle is related to the survival of the homeland of Sichuan and Shaanxi, so the soldiers of the Blood Knife Fort are even more desperate and have the upper hand for a while. Luo Tian's junior masters were even more courageous, and when the soldiers saw that the leaders were so brave, they all shook their spirits, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became. The trebuchets of the Jin Kingdom were afraid of injuring their own people by mistake, so they stopped firing, and the soldiers scattered in the city rushed to the city wall to help, and the Jin soldiers could not bear it even more.
Wan Yan Wushu, who was watching the battle, said: "Our army has stabilized its position on the city wall, but the leader of the Blood Knife Fort is not easy to deal with. Wan Yan said: "My subordinates will go." With that, he slapped his horse and rushed towards the monk Yuan. Wanyan Wushu said: "Wanyan left the northern city, and the east and west cities also need good support, who is willing to ask Ying to go?" Li Xiuzhi said: "I am willing to go to the east city gate." Wanyan Wushu said: "What about the West City Gate?" Ni Hongyan and Chu Laike knew that this sentence was asking them, Ni Hongyan would never do anything without interest, and Chu Laike didn't want to be an enemy of the Blood Sword Fort at all, so both of them were silent. Wanyan Wushu said with a smile: "This battle is very important for my Dajin Kingdom, Western Xia and Tubo are our allies, if you show a little sincerity at this moment, my Dajin Kingdom should be remembered." Wan Yan Lou said: "My Dajin Kingdom doesn't need outsiders to help, the old man and Saili are willing to attack Xicheng." Wanyan Wushu said: "The old general is mighty, but the old general is old, and this king is unwilling to let the old general take risks." "Chu Laike thought that Yan Wushu was deliberately testing the sincerity of the allies, if he promised heavy profits after a while, Ni Hongyan would inevitably be tempted, no one in the Blood Knife Fort except Ling Junlai was her opponent, it was better for me to agree to come down and do nothing on the western city wall. Thinking of this, he said: "Chu is willing to give it a try." Wanyan Wushu said happily: "The lord of Chu City is willing to go out, and the thieves are so good, please." (To be continued.) )
