Chapter 509: Capture the City Gate

In the battle just now, a few boulders fell on the castle towers, wounding some soldiers and smashing some city walls, and if they were not repaired properly, they would become more or less a nuisance in the face of attacks.

While arranging to clean the city tower, Huang Hua ordered someone to fetch a large number of bows and arrows. The previous bow shot was a waste of a lot, and now it's time to replenish it.

"Look, General, they're moving, and they look like they're coming to us." A soldier in charge of observing the mercenaries shouted loudly, attracting the attention of everyone, including Huang Hua.

"They're really here!" Then there was a loud shout from the Cochin soldiers. Listening to it, there was some fear in this shout.

Huang Hua was also awakened by this shout, and his expression changed greatly when he saw that the mercenaries really began to move towards the east city gate.

He had always thought that after the wave of attacks just now, the mercenaries should know the difficulties of attacking the city, at least there was a period of reprieve before the main force of the other side came. But unexpectedly, they only had less than 3,000 people, and they really dared to attack again.

"Don't they want to die? Don't you know that with the city wall as a cover, it is impossible for these 3,000 people to rush up? In an instant, many thoughts flashed through my mind. Although Huang Hua didn't know what they would do, as a general, he instinctively commanded the soldiers to take their places and prepare to defend the city.

didn't let people send the news to the prince for the first time, because Huang Hua was still a little confident. With its sturdy castle towers, it should be able to withstand the onslaught of mercenaries. Of course, he was more curious, because he didn't see that the other party had a siege ladder or something in his hand, so how were they going to prepare to attack the city?

This thought had just flashed through him, and suddenly he thought of how Ruan Gengwang had been defeated. Thinking of the advanced weapon that could detonate if it was thrown out, he felt a tingle in his scalp, and shouted to the Jiaozhi army beside him, "Archers be ready, and don't let them go near the city gates, don't let them blow up the city gates." Also, immediately send someone to report to the prince that reinforcements are needed here, and the more the better. ”

Huang Hua's shout made the Jiaozhi army on the city tower busy for a while, just when the mercenaries under the city approached within two hundred meters, there were archers standing between the battlements, they opened their bows and arrows, ready to release arrows to injure the enemy at any time.

The archers were ready, but the mercenaries did not do what they had hoped and stopped before walking a hundred and thirty meters from the tower.

In this position, the archers have little room to play at all. Even if the bow and arrow were fired, they would not be able to reach such a far position.

"What are they going to do?" Seeing that the mercenaries suddenly stopped, the eyes of all the soldiers on the city tower widened. General Huang Hua, the leader of the team, had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still couldn't see through what the other party was going to do.

One hundred and thirty meters away, Tiance ordered the army to stop, and then the five bazooka men took five steps forward, and then three of them aimed at the city gate, and two of them aimed at the top of the city tower.

Doing all this is just a few breaths, and from this point of view, they should have been training for a long time and are very well prepared.

The first squad leader was one of the five bazooka players, and seeing that his comrades were ready, he first took a deep breath and stabilized his breathing, and then began the countdown "Five... Four... Three... Two... a"

The moment the word sounded, five shells with fire flew out sideways, whistling away, each rushing towards its own target.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Five deafening voices rang out one after another, shocking everyone's eyes.

The bazooka is not only shocking when it is fired, but the effect is even more amazing. The two that hit the city tower exploded in the crowd of Jiaozhi troops standing there, and one of them was still close to General Huang Hua.

At the moment when the explosion sounded, the powerful impact force directly knocked Huang Hua to the ground, and the seat was directly hit by the place, where the two Jiaozhi soldiers standing were torn apart by a blow, and they could not find a single intact part on their bodies, and they were completely annihilated between heaven and earth.

After the explosion of the three bazookas that bombarded the east city gate, it was even more powerful, and directly blew up most of the closed city gate, a huge mouth of three or four meters, so that people could pass by there calmly.

"Shoot!" The commander of Tiance Company, who had been prepared for a long time, was waiting for this scene, and after seeing that the bazooka had completed the original target plan, he shouted loudly, and then led the line to shoot at the cross-toed archers on the top of the city tower who had not yet recovered their senses.

At a distance of one hundred and thirty meters, the archers could not help the mercenaries. But whether it is the Ninety-Five Style or the Eighty-One Bar, they do not take this distance into account, and the bullets in their chambers can fall smoothly on the city tower, giving a heavy blow to the Jiaozhi soldiers who have not yet been mentally prepared.

Although some of the targets were lost because the bullets were not mass-produced, at least fifty percent of the muzzles hit the enemy. Even those bullets that did not hit the target, once they hit the battlements, the power emitted was terrifying, enough to make the Cochin soldiers shrink their heads one by one, not daring to expose their bodies to the air without cover.

The first and second rows of Leng Feng soldiers suppressed the archers on the city tower with the ninety-five style. Leng Feng's third platoon, plus a battalion of auxiliaries, took this opportunity to rush straight to the already dilapidated East City Gate.

First, a few grenades were thrown nearby, blowing up the opening of the city gate even wider, and also scared back the Jiaozhi troops who wanted to come to support the city gate. Then the mercenaries of more than 400 people marched forward and rushed all the way into the city with this effort.

Tiance's side was victorious, and the battalion commander Kong Quanxin behind him also rushed over with the main force, entering in turn, stabilizing the advantage he occupied.

Above the city tower, Huang Hua, who was knocked down by the momentum of the bazooka, had already stood up under the protection of several pro-soldiers. When he looked at the city, he felt a mouthful of old blood pressure in his heart, and it squirted out all at once.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over." He sat on the ground with a thud. The city gate is lost, and he will have an unshirkable responsibility as the general who guards the city.

"General, the mercenaries are coming up the ladder in the city, let's kill them." A personal soldier saw that some of the Jiaozhi soldiers who wanted to escape had just walked out of the city ladder not far away, when a dense burst of gunfire was heard, and then they all ran back to the city tower, so he guessed what was going on and suggested to Huang Hua.

"It's useless, and it's a death to kill it." Huang Hua shook his head in frustration. He knows this prince too well, Ruan Gengwang carried the black cauldron in the previous defeat, and the black cauldron that lost the city gate will definitely be carried by himself, so that if he can't kill it or not, it will inevitably end up with death.

Seeing that the general had no intention of killing, the soldiers kindly reminded, "General, or we will surrender." The soldiers outside the city surrendered just now, and they all survived. ”

"Surrender?" Shaking his head, Huang Hua said resolutely, "Our Jiaozhi general only died standing and did not kneel to live." Come on, take out my broadsword, fight with those mercenaries, kill one is enough, kill two and earn one. ”

Under Huang Hua's order, the Jiaozhi army on the city tower seemed to have a backbone again, and then these nearly a thousand people began to rush down the city ladder in an organized manner, shouting and shouting, but it was quite powerful.

However, the city ladder was not wide in the first place, and only two ninety-five style guards were needed to take turns to guard here, and keep firing, and it was impossible for anyone to rush down the rotating city ladder of more than 20 meters. It was only after more than fifty people died in two waves of attacks that the other soldiers stopped.

This is obviously the rhythm of rushing down to death, and there is no hope of survival at all, who wants to do it.

No soldiers were willing to attack, which annoyed Huang Hua. He slashed to death a cross-toe soldier who did not obey orders with a big knife, and then looked coldly at the other cross-toe soldiers and said: "Even if you enlist in the army, it is your fate to fight bloodily on the battlefield, and whoever dares to retreat will be your example."

Looking at the bloody blood flowing from the broadsword, the Cochin soldiers became frightened. It was impossible to start another charge. Needless to say, under the muzzle of Bayi Bar, a batch of corpses were dropped and then retreated again.

At this time, the shouts of the mercenaries under the castle tower were also heard. "Surrender and don't kill, if there are those who resist, there will be no forgiveness!"

Originally, there was no hope of being alive, and everyone wanted to die anyway, just rush out and die. But now that there is a way to live in front of us, everyone's minds have become lively.

At this time, Huang Hua ignored these, seeing that another impact failed, he still gave orders to the other Jiaozhi soldiers, so that everyone could continue to attack, and said that he would die on the way to the charge.

I have to say that Huang Hua is a brave general, but unfortunately, there are times when it is not a general who can win a battle if he is brave. It's like now, when everyone is struggling in their hearts, you don't want to encourage everyone, and you still want to continue to force people to die, then who will listen to you?

There were also a few centurions in the Jiaozhi army, and after they quickly made eye contact, they each took some cronies and surrounded the place where Huang Hua was standing.

"What are you going to do?" The soldiers around Huang Hua shouted loudly as soon as they saw that something was wrong, hoping to scare the other party with this shout.

In normal times, such shouts would certainly have an effect. But in the face of life and death, such shouts are obviously too ineffective. The soldiers hesitated for a moment, then strode around them.
