late han empire

Chapter 48 The most fierce siege battle

() On the vast grassland, Liu Ming and his team just stopped there.

Fortunately, the heavy soldiers were waiting elsewhere, otherwise it would be cheaper for the Mahan coalition forces at this moment.

But this time it was really a failure. No one thought that the other party would see through his trick of besieging and attacking for help, and even planned to serve him such a pot.

The large army was just on the grassland, setting up camp while guarding against Ma Han's attack.The supply soldiers obviously knew about today's battle situation, so they just set up the camp silently with a sullen face.

In his heart, perhaps he longed to get on a horse and fight with the Ma-Korean coalition forces in the past.

They are all brothers in the same robe, and there is no distinction between direct lineage and branch lineage.Everyone eats in the same pot, and some are pure comrades-in-arms.Seeing that the brother who thought he had put too much salt yesterday turned into a pile of loess today, even the fire-headed army felt uncomfortable at the moment.Today, no one thinks I put too much salt...

"Someone leaked our whereabouts, there is no doubt about it... It's a pity that we may not be able to find that person." Cheng Yu sighed.

"How is the Ma-Korean coalition?" Liu Ming knew what he was going to say, but just asked another question.

"The scouts reported that they also lost a lot of troops, and they have retreated to Wuwei to garrison at this moment. In addition, there is information that the Han army took advantage of Ma Teng and the others to retreat and regained all the lost land south of Jincheng, and at the same time went north to attack Longyou. Soon, the Ma-Korean coalition forces will only have one Wuwei." Gao Shun replied flatly.

"Take a good rest for three days, and send people to the territory to bring in five stone chariots, ten ladders, and of course five thousand shield soldiers. We need new recruits!" Liu Ming said solemnly with a deep breath.

"My lord, the catapult and the ladder are waiting to be used in the future, so they were exposed so early..." Cheng Yu remonstrated.

"At least, Wuwei must be taken down by us...otherwise the sons and daughters are afraid that they will be unwilling!" Liu Ming laughed.

"Understood..." Cheng Yu could only figure out how to ensure that the craftsmanship of the catapult would not be stolen.

After three days of rest, the soldiers' bodies have recovered.

The remaining survivors are cavalry archers, and they are all produced by the barracks of the system, and the villagers produced by the system have changed jobs.So there is no need to worry about their loyalty, they can shed the last drop of blood for Liu Ming!

On this basis, the addition of the slogan "Revenge for Brothers" made all the horse archers enter a state of explosion, and their morale was like a rainbow, like a scourge.

At the same time, the first batch of catapults and ladders produced by the siege equipment workshop were delivered to the front line.

Originally, according to Liu Ming's intention, he wanted to fight the enemy as soon as possible.

It's just that I was made useless before, and if I don't get it back, it's really unreasonable.

According to the report of the scouts, they found strange herdsmen on the way, they should be the scouts of the powerful.Obviously, they came to see if they were dead.The reason why he didn't launch an attack now should be that he found that he still planned to attack Wuwei, so he planned to let himself lose some more soldiers.

The [-] sword shield soldiers came to obey orders, the team rested and reorganized, it was time to set off! .

The army marched towards Wuwei in a mighty way, killing all the spies who walked out of Wuwei along the way.

This is to tell Ma Teng openly: I am coming, wash my neck and wait!

In the distance, probably near Beidi County, an army is stationed here.They don't have a flag at all, and they don't know where they are affiliated at all. They just erected a commander-in-chief flag to mark where the commander-in-chief is.

"They're going to attack Wuwei...let them go, we'll take advantage of it later!" Han Meng smiled.

After finishing speaking, he dismounted straight away and returned to his camp.

Two days later, Liu Ming's army came to Wuwei. As the governor of Liangzhou, this place is naturally the tallest.

But in the tall city walls, they were only piled up with simple adhesives. In ancient times without cement, they were completely resistant to strong impacts.Of course, the impact had to be large enough to a certain extent.

Ma Han's army is at the head of the city. According to Ma Chao's intention, they should actually go out of the city to fight.It's just that Han Sui and Ma Teng refused, so they could only defend the city obediently.

"A group of guys who are good at fighting in the field actually play defense? What a joke!" Liu Ming smiled lightly.

Immediately, he beckoned behind him.

Five heavy catapults began to be assembled. These are heavy catapults used in European sieges.This kind of catapult was later introduced to China and was improved into a return cannon. It was active in the Yuan Dynasty until it was replaced by artillery.

It took the engineers more than half a day to complete the assembly of the catapult.At the same time, the five thousand knife shield soldiers also completed the handling of the stone bullets.After some debugging, the first round of shooting began!

Five stone bullets were shot out, one of which hit the city tower and directly knocked off a large piece of the roof; one hit the soldiers defending the city, and immediately blood splattered everywhere, and no one was spared where it passed; A piece of the city wall was knocked down, and a piece of the city gate was directly dented.

"Father, we must fight in the field, otherwise we will have no chance!" Ma Chao said immediately.

"Go!" Ma Teng finally realized the horror of the catapult.

The first round of calibration is completed, and the second round begins to prepare for loading.At this gap, the outer city of Wuwei was opened, and Ma Chao led a Qiang cavalry to kill out.

"Kill them all!" Liu Ming said lightly.

He didn't need to say it, Tian Yu had already killed out with the cavalry archers.

Comparing cavalry, no one is an opponent of Daijun's cavalry archers!In terms of momentum, no one is an opponent of Daijun's cavalry archers!Daijun cavalry archers are the strongest cavalry archers! !

The cavalry archers are proud of their profession, motivated by revenge for their brothers, and committed to Liu Ming's mission to shed the last drop of blood, so they started their battle.

Under the arrow rain shot without money, the cavalry who were restricted by the city gate could only be slaughtered obediently.

Even if Ma Chao ran desperately, how many horse archers could he kill?And in the process of killing the cavalry archers, how many cavalry archers shot to death under his command?

This is an unequal battle, and Ma Chao soon discovered it.

This group of cavalry archers are completely reckless, and they are too strong! !

There was a whistling sound, and the door opening was intensively taken care of by the catapult.Five stone bullets roared past, plowing a path of blood.As long as there are people on this road, none of them can be saved.

The city gate opened, and the light cavalry rushed in. At the same time, the horse archers also separated into a group and rushed in.

"Sword and Shield Soldiers, assault!" Gao Shun led the Sword and Shield Soldiers and charged in towards the city gate.

And Liu Ming stayed here silently, continuing to direct the catapult to load ammunition.It was only the outer door that was broken, as well as the inner door!The inner gate must be destroyed, otherwise this cavalry of my own will surely die in the urn city!

Another five stone bullets were fired, and the cavalry team tactfully opened the space of the gate.

The stone bullet shot out from the city gate and hit the inner gate directly.

The speed will inevitably decrease a bit, but with the power of the heavy catapult, it is inevitable to smash the gate.

The army drove in, and the rest was just a matter of street fighting.

The ladder began to rush forward, and it was successfully built on the tower.The defenders in the city were in a mess, but they forgot the existence of the ladder.These can be spread out at both ends and then paved into a road with anti-slip protrusions.

The remaining cavalry archers left Ma Chao and ran up the tower along the ladder, and started a new round of shooting.

With them here, the enemy troops on the tower don't expect to be able to attack the city!

Ma Chao, who was wounded and captured on the ground, could only listen to the shouts in the city, and silently lowered his head.He is only nine years old this year, no matter how strong his martial arts are, there is a limit.If Liu Ming hadn't ordered him not to be killed, he would have been pierced by thousands of arrows and died long ago.But the current situation may make him more uncomfortable than killing him.

Shame, this is the shame of Ma Mengqi's life!

Maybe, my life is almost over...

"It's time to end!" Liu Ming said in a low voice, leaning against the catapult comfortably.

At this moment, I finally felt much more comfortable.
