Chapter 269: Sweeping the Thousands of Troops, the Savior Riding Alone (9) Bombarded [Two More Votes]
PS: (Today I continue to thank the book friend "The Group is Round" for the reward!) My work "Tianlong Undefeated" released a new chapter "Chapter 269 Sweeping a Thousand Armies, the Savior Riding Alone (9) Bombardment [Two More Votes]", http:///Book/3058817.aspx)
As a result, some of the rebel soldiers did not dare to go out, but as soon as there was a thunderclap in the sky, the daredevils of the Royal Camp Army lying on the ground jumped up and continued to slash at the thief soldiers who dared to step out of the camp.
A thousand people cut one and counted one, and when they had finished cutting it, as soon as the thunder had passed, they fell to the ground again.
In the darkness, the enemy who had just come out of the tent could not see anything, and when the next thunder and the next flash were fought again, their end had come again.
This night was so tormented by the rebels that all the people who came out of the tent died, and those who stayed in the camp were so frightened that they didn't sleep all night.
Moreover, under the cover of thunder and lightning, the defenders in Shangjing City knew nothing about the "night of horror" on Chilonggang, let alone sent troops to rescue them.
As soon as the day dawned, the rain gradually stopped, and the thieves hiding in the barracks on Chilonggang finally realized that there were no frog spirits and toad monsters, and they were clearly robbed of the camp!
They picked up broadswords and spears, and were about to rush out to fight the enemy.
Under the undefeated men of the East outside the camp tent, there are only 1,000 people in total, and if they fight against 10,000 people with open swords and guns, it is inevitable that they will not be able to support one enemy and ten.
But a thousand warriors faced the surging rebels, all of them fearless, and they slashed their swords and fought with the enemy.
The undefeated Sun and Moon in the East swords came out together, calmly and calmly facing the enemy.
"Huh", "Huh", "Huh", a few sword lights flashed. Several of the thieves besieging her fell to the ground, arms holding their blades, but they flew away from their bodies. Blood gushed from the wounds on their severed arms for a while.
Suddenly, the corners of Dongfang Undefeated's mouth raised proudly, and he shouted to his subordinates: "Brothers, our large army has arrived!"
Everyone on the post only heard the sound of hooves like thunder, and couldn't help but look around, only to see more than 10,000 horses rolling up the mountain like a galloping wind.
Immediately, the knights were all dressed in dark iron armor, but they looked like tigers. Horses are like dragons, people are both agile and majestic. Each horse is tall and long-legged, with black hair all over.
There were a total of 80,000 iron horsemen, and the momentum was so strong that it seemed like a monstrous wave rushing in.
Run closer. The undefeated East is a sight to behold. The first person was Xiao Feng.
According to the previous agreement, he led his troops to come, and planned to serve the remnants of the enemy camp.
After riding a horse and rushing into the camp, Xiao Feng led his men to rush left and right, and slashed at the rebel soldiers who still dared to resist.
After less than a stick of incense, the battle was over.
Facing the corpses of the Khitan people in the camp, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel gloomy.
Upon closer inspection, it was found that nearly half of the tens of thousands of soldiers stationed here had died.
Then inquire about the casualties of their own death squads. After receiving the reply that almost no one was killed, Xiao Feng nodded with satisfaction. I thought that this was a blessing in misfortune.
Until this moment, the defenders in the capital of the Liao State knew that their companions on Chilonggang had been attacked, and they were about to go out of the city to rescue them, but it was too late. Without Chilonggang's response, Shangjing City was already a lonely city, and the time had come for Yelu Hongji to boldly launch an attack.
Dongfang Undefeated and Xiao Feng rushed back with the captives, and crossed a mountain, and the imperial camp was in sight.
Outside the capital, the snow-white tents are endless, like the vast ocean; a lonely city surrounded by this white sea, confronting the tide-like army; black clouds in the air are like arrays, and the city head is pressed low.
At this time, the horn of the Liao Emperor's army camp also sounded, and the two voices came back and forth on the earth.
When Xiao Feng heard this, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and his thick eyebrows tightened for a while.
Dongfang Undefeated saw his thoughts, and comforted him on the side: "Brother Xiao, don't worry, the peace of this Great Liao will come after we take the city in front of us." ”
Xiao Feng nodded, didn't say much, and rode forward.
After a short walk, the group returned to the camp.
Yelu Hongji had already received the good news, and now when he saw that the two had returned safely, he was overjoyed and hurried out of the account to greet him.
After seeing that Dongfang was undefeated, Yelu Hongji began to inquire about the strategy of attacking the capital of the Great Liao Kingdom: "Brother Dongfang, look, since the nail of Chilonggang has been pulled out, what should we do next? Today is the fourth day, and this city must not be attacked!"
When Dongfang Undefeated heard this, he immediately said: "Big brother, don't worry, if you don't have the right son tomorrow, it will be counted as today." If we want to capture this big city, the cost is small, and we need to arrange it like this. He then elaborated on the siege strategy.
After listening to the words of the undefeated Dongfang, Yelu Hongji sent an army on four routes, with more than 100,000 people on each road, and marched to Beijing on all sides.
The army set up stone throwers around it, about a hundred on each side, all of which were out of range of the bows of the defending soldiers, and ordered the generals to lead their cavalry to guard under them, in case the rebels could capture them with fine cavalry, and then lined up in huge ladder carts full of infantry to take the city when the defenders of the city were in disarray.
The most pressing issue at the moment is to let the enemy army rout and ensure that the imperial camp is well organized.
The undefeated East has its own tricks.
She ordered to go down and divide each army into three groups of men and horses, one to sleep and recuperate in the tent, one to make fires and make food, drink mare's milk wine, and eat beef and mutton, and one to set up stone cannons and ladders to prepare for the siege, and each of them rotated for four hours.
The rebels defending the city knew that this day was the first day of the deadline in Emperor Liao's persuasion to surrender, even if it was for show, in order to protect the face of the emperor's "no jokes", the army outside the city had to come to attack, so they stood at the head of the city one by one, and were on high alert.
As a result, I was nervous for a day, until the sun set, and I did not see the enemy launch an attack, and my heart was puzzled.
Puzzled again, it was already dark, and most of the soldiers went back to the camp to rest.
As soon as the night came, a series of loud horns pierced the long night, and the sound of drums was remembered in all directions.
Could it be that the enemy army is attacking the city?
Awakened by the sudden change, tens of thousands of sleepy-eyed sergeants quickly turned over and got up, put on their armor, took up their weapons, climbed the tower, and looked out of the city.
Hundreds of stone-throwing machines, pushed by countless infantry, slowly pressed towards the city wall.
The defenders of the city hurriedly bent their bows and arrows and shot at the people in the carts, intending to stop the incoming enemy.
But before a few arrows were fired, the soldiers of the imperial camp had already rushed to the city, pulled out the horses, and set up the catapult in the upper capital, about a few hundred steps away from the city tower.
The rebels defending the city looked from afar, and saw that the stone cannons were about several zhang high, and the thickness of the cannon body was different, and the length was about ten zhang, with a support shaft in the middle, short in the front and long in the back; there were dozens to hundreds of people in front of them holding on to the iron cables, and there were large and small roulette wheels driving them behind.
The infantry grabbed the chains, and with the help of the roulette machine, they ran and pulled behind the cannons, and in an instant, the iron ropes were quickly retracted, and the sound was like a thunderbolt, even if they were miles away, they could still hear clearly.
With a loud noise, the cannon tail net was raised in a circle, and the boulders loaded from more than ten catties to hundreds of catties flew into the air and fell to the head of the Liaodu city. At the moment when the stone fell, the defenders all saw the most terrible thing in their lives.
The towering tower was shattered in a blink of an eye, and dozens of rebels were smashed into meatloaf by boulders.
All of a sudden, the sound of earthquakes, screams, and exclamations came and went, resounding at the head of Shangjing City.
Hundreds of stone-throwing machines of different sizes were divided into three groups by the East Undefeated, one group was loaded with stone bullets by foot soldiers, one group was run and pulled by the wrestlers, and one group was throwing boulders out, so that the city walls were bombarded from the east, west, north and south in turn, and the cycle began without interruption, and the stones fell from the sky densely like hailstones, and the soldiers on the city tower were smashed to countless deaths and injuries.
The rebel defenders led their cavalry out of the city, trying to prevent the soldiers of the imperial camp from continuing to fire artillery, but the Liao Imperial Army had already taken precautions, and the two sides fought to the death under the city.
After a short time, the rebels were outnumbered and retreated into the city.
The current situation is all in the undefeated calculations of the East.
Almost all the enemy troops stood on the city walls in extreme tension all day, and at night, they finally fell asleep tremblingly, and were suddenly woken up, and rushed into battle, and their minds were confused, and their combat effectiveness was low, as can be imagined.
On the other hand, one-third of the undefeated men and horses in the east slept and recuperated in the tents during the day, one-third of the men and horses drank wine and ate meat, and one-third of the men and horses set up catapults, and so on in shifts. (To be continued......)
