Chasing King

Chapter 18

On the day when the Jin people came to the city, it was gloomy and heavy. It seemed that it would collapse at any time and crush all living things.

At this time, the army was facing the city. At a glance, the flag covered the sun, the armor was like ink, and the spears were like a forest. The central army was infantry, two winged cavalry, followed by mechanical troops with thunderbolt guns, catapults, siege hammers, etc. in the central army, a three color flag (reading Road) was fluttering in the cold wind of Liaodong. It was the flag of the commander of the three armies, Zhuo Letai.

The fact that the 70000 strong army is still and silent shows that the general is in charge of the army.

Yuan Mao had already called all the strong men in the city into the army, but the strength of the Jin people was still nearly 20 times that of himself. If they had not had enough food and grass, they would have been encircled to death. In such a big battle, the weak side often broke down before fighting and stood upright on the wall of the city. It was full of courage to face the heads of the mountains and fields. The two armies had not yet met each other, and the intention of killing was already in the air.

Yuan Sikong looks at the black army under the city and starts to shudder from the bottom of his heart, but he is soon driven down by Yuan Mao.

Drollette's army beat up the drums, and the sound was like thunder, catching up with the rhythm of the heartbeat. The army began to shout with the drum, which was about Nuzhen language. They couldn't understand it, but the short and high rhythm had extremely powerful magic power. It turned into an invisible sword and swept the three armies. The cry was more and more rapid, and the tense atmosphere impacted everyone's vein, making the heart beat with the frequency, as if it would burst and die in the next moment!

The frequency of war drums and shouts suddenly stopped at the moment when they were on the verge of war. After a sudden silence, the man under the flag drew out his sword, pointed to Guangning City, and yelled: "let go of the arrow -"

his voice was full of breath!

Archers bow at the full moon, and thousands of arrows fly to Guangning like locusts.

As soon as the arrow left, the infantry of the Jin army trained and raised their shields. They stood on the top of their heads to protect the archers and began to March step by step under the wall.

Almost at the same time, the guards on the wall also raised their shields to resist the rain of arrows. In Guangning City, the battle drums beat. Han Zhaoxing hid under his shield and yelled, "attack!"

Rulin's arrows flew to the Jin army. The dark shield armor was full of bamboo arrows. The arrow feather was still shaking. The archer of the Jin army had already drilled out his shield and fired a second wave of arrows.

The arrow rain shuttled back and forth between the enemy and us. The shield of the Jin army kept missing under the city, and the Sheng army on the city also fell to the ground. The fall of the Sheng army kept on wailing.

With archers as the vanguard, zhuoletai weakened the attack of the Sheng army, and then sent out a second wave of infantry, still covered by shields, in an attempt to transport the siege hammer under the wall.

Yuanmao personally lifted the red curtain of Fengshen cannon. Under his command, the artillery bombarded the troops carrying the siege hammers.

The Fengshen cannon is a breech gun, which is much safer and faster than the easy to explode breech gun in the past. However, the cost is high. Liaodong got four guns in total, and they were all safe in Guangning city.

The two guns fired at the same time to blow up the siege hammer.

Zhuoletai no longer let the siege hammer rush forward, but directed the two sides of the catapult, throwing huge wood and stone to Guangning city.

When the huge stone hits the city, it's a splash of flesh and blood. When it hits the wall, it's a crack of ice. The more primitive the power, the more overbearing it is.

"Fire!" Han Zhaoxing roared, "the archer is ready!".

"Kill -"

beating drums and shouting through the clouds, the Jin army came with boulders, and the Sheng army went with artillery fire.

The hammers continued to march under the cover of the wall. One group was blown up, and then another. Finally, they put down the board, crossed the moat and marched towards the main gate.

Sheng Jun smashed the oil bottle into the shield armour of the siege hammer troops, then rubbed and ignited the rocket and fired the fire oil splashed from the broken oil bottle.

The shield armor burst into flames, and there was a shrill howl under it.

Zhuoletai's artillery chariots also moved slowly. These thunderbolt guns were easy to explode. They were improved from Hongyi cannons. In terms of mechanical manufacturing, Manzi was far behind the Central Plains, but he had as many as eight guns, and the number of them won.

Just as Fengshen's cannons were firing everywhere on the earth, zhuoletai's cannons burst out and blasted to the Guangning city wall.

The wall of Guangning acropolis is as thick as two Zhang, and the ice layer poured these days is nearly three Zhang. It is very strong, and even under the attack of cannon and stone, it has not damaged the foundation.

However, this is only temporary.

After wave after wave of soldiers building roads, Jin's siege hammer finally hit the gate of guangningwei for the first time. The power of the hammer did not hurt the gate, but hit every Sheng army's heart.

Han Zhaoxing was sweating in the severe winter, commanding back and forth on the top of the city, supplemented by Yuanmao, but giving orders was more useful than Han Zhaoxing. At this time, the war situation was critical. They tacitly put down their open and secret struggles and devoted themselves to guarding the city, but the Jin army was as powerful as a tiger, and Guangning town was in danger.

"Newspaper - the south corner of the city was destroyed by boulders!"

"Chen Yulong, you lead 300 soldiers to reinforce the south of the city."

"Yes"Liang Huiyong, send 200 more archers to protect the west gate."

"Yes

At this time, the war had lasted for nearly two hours, and the attack of zhuoletai was still vigorous, and the Sheng army was also in an orderly way. The attack mallet hit the city gate several times, and was killed by the garrison on the city. Drollette continued to let the siege hammer troops on top, while sending infantry with the ladder to the city wall.

Countless long ladders mounted the city wall, and fearless soldiers climbed up one after another. The garrison on the city met each other with bows, arrows, stones, and boiling water, killing one wave and another. The soldiers of the Jin Dynasty kept falling down the long ladder and howling.

Since ancient times, siege is the worst strategy, ant attached is the best strategy, but it is also the most common and easy to control tactics. Especially when we have few enemies, artillery stones and siege hammers have scattered most of the fire of Sheng army, the ladder of climbing city is constantly broken and attached, and what we fight for is not only strength, but also perseverance.

Yuanmao divided the city wall guards into two groups. One group attacked the Jin army climbing the wall, the other group took a rest, took turns repeatedly, and vowed not to retreat. He held the defense line of the city wall without letting a Jin Man climb the wall.

Gradually, no one dares to climb up.

The obstinacy of Sheng Jun was beyond the imagination of drollette.

From noon to dusk, the Jin army broke down thousands of soldiers. Several times, it saw that the gap had been opened. Under the fierce attack, it contracted again, but it could not attack the city.

Drollette was not willing and continued to attack.

Both sides suffered heavy losses. They would be exhausted until the light disappeared and twilight came. Zhuo Letai did not retreat but advanced. He planned to use the advantage of the number of soldiers to kill Guangning garrison.

"Chief, the south of the city can't carry it!"

"General Han, I'm afraid the arrows are insufficient."

Han Zhaoxing is in a state of great anxiety, but he still needs to be calm: "continue to stick to it, stick to it!"

Yuan Mao's eyes were bloodshot and his face was pale. He was still commanding the soldiers all the time. No one knew if Guangning city could survive this evening, but as long as he was still breathing, he would kill one more golden dog!

The pressure of zhuoletai was no less than that of Yuanmao. The dead bodies under the city had been piled up to two people. No one dared to climb the ladder even after the heavy reward was given. Moreover, the soldiers were tired and did not enter the water for a long time. The offensive was obviously much slower.

When it was completely dark, drollette saw that his morale was low, and he was afraid that he would only lose more if he continued to attack. In desperation, he finally ordered to withdraw.

So far, guangningwei survived the first night after the war.
