Chapter 914: Battle of the Urn City
Chapter 914: Battle of the Urn City
Not to mention the singing and dancing of the Jingshi, the bullshit is upside down, and the offensive and defensive battles in the old state are still continuing.
Outside the city of Jiuzhou, Heli killed and injured tens of thousands of people, and finally hit the edge of the city.
The southwest corner of the city was already in disrepair, and now it has been killed by the occupying army to the blind spot of shooting, and the situation has suddenly become critical.
The Cham also learned the basic siege methods at the cost of blood, they made moats out of bamboo, piled earth and stones on them to resist crossbow arrows, pushed them to the corners of the city, and began to dig the city walls.
At the same time, they took advantage of the strength of the army and attacked the city on three sides, so that the defenders could not spare extra troops to support.
Finally, on the forty-seventh day of the war, the southwest corner of the old state city collapsed, revealing a huge gap.
Finally seeing the hope of victory, he shouted frantically: "Kill it!" Slaughter all the living creatures in it, and leave no chickens and dogs! Let those rebels on the other side of the river know what miserable and terrifying it is! β
With a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of well-nourished Chinese troops howled and rushed towards the gap in the city.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of it rushed in.
He Li looked up to the sky and laughed: "I have a good time!" β
Rolling Dan's expression suddenly changed greatly, and the army entered without hindrance, obviously not a normal situation, so he hurriedly waved his flag: "Not good!" Mingjin! Come backβ"
It's a pity that the command of the Zhancheng army has not been able to do it for a long time, and now the great achievement is imminent, who is still looking back, and they are all scrambling to be the first.
When there were still 3,000 or so people outside, he saw a figure that had just disappeared appear again at the head of the city, pushed down some jars from both sides of the gap, and then threw down the torches, and burned the Cham army that was still passing through the gap into torches.
The sergeants on fire screamed and rolled on the ground, but the fire on their bodies was not extinguished at all, and the remaining sergeants outside the city realized that the marshal had already waved his flag and asked to retreat.
The city resounded with the sound of countless arrows, the screams of his companions, and a strange huge "boom! Every time such a voice was accompanied, there was a miserable scream.
It's a trap! A trap that has been carefully arranged!
Han Li was shocked: "Extinguish the fire, kill it!" Kill me and save someoneβ"
Those people are all the elite of his own soldiers, the troops that started out, and now most of them are trapped in it.
Yan Dan closed his eyes in pain: "Your Majesty, it's useless, they have been holding such a powerful firearm, just waiting for our army to fall into the trap......"
It was really useless, and countless logs were thrown from the city, as well as the jar just now, and the fire in the gap was even more raging, and it was impossible to approach it at all.
From time to time, a burning man burst out of it, then collapsed at the gap, convulsed in pain, and finally stopped moving.
β¦β¦
Thousands of soldiers, led by the powerful general Pongmu Zhitu, who sat down in the Ha Li, rushed into the city.
After passing through the gap, it turned out to be an open area, which made Pang Mu Zhitu overjoyed, and the army arrived here, which was very conducive to deployment.
But in the blink of an eye, a sense of crisis arose in Pang Mu Zhitu's heart, the situation was not right, and the surroundings were too quiet.
Pang Mu Zhitu turned around, and saw that there were 7,000 sergeants with him, and his heart was a little relieved, and he waved his sword and led the sergeants towards the gate at the exit of the school field.
At this moment, the kind of horn that once made the people of Cham tremble sounded, and in the distance of the school field, behind the street wall opposite the gate outside, a handsome flag was raised, and countless sergeants with pitch-black strange crossbows emerged from all directions.
"Trap!" Pang Mu Zhitu immediately understood, and waved his knife: "Retreat!" β
It seemed to be a signal, and at the opening, a raging fire suddenly ignited.
Under the handsome banner of "Hehehehe......" is the fat Wang Zhen, on the left is a veteran with white hair, and on the right is a scribe, who is Chen Tian and Huang Yong.
Wang Zhenle bowed his hand to Pang Mu Zhitu: "General Pang Mu, don't come to harm?" β
Pang Mu Zhitu scolded: "Shameless Wang Zhen! How dare you betray the king! β
Wang Zhen smiled bitterly: "General Pongmu, I, Wang Zhen, have never offended any party, and I just want to keep this ancestral inheritance." The military books of the Song Dynasty, I have read a few of them, and I can hide it from me if he fakes his plan to destroy him? β
"Bin Tonglong doesn't care about the new king and the old king, Wang Zhen has always served well, even the old handsome man on the Hengshan Pass, the nobles in the royal capital, I, Wang Zhen, have a point, Wang Zhen asked himself, is it really worthy of everyone......"
Pang Mu Zhitu scolded: "The two ends of the first rat are sins!" β
Wang Zhen shook her head and said, "Then there is no way to talk...... Well, now I'm determined to vote for Song! β
After speaking, his face changed: "Pang Mu Zhitu!" For the sake of Zeng Tongdian as a minister, he put down his arms and surrendered, and Rao Er waited for a way out. Don't make a mistake about yourself, it has become a tomb figurine for Heli to accompany the burial! β
Pang Mu Zhitu snatched a javelin from his subordinates and threw it at the place where Wang Zhen stood: "Wang Zhen, go to death!" β
The javelin swept through the sky and flew straight towards Wang Zhen, so frightened that Wang Zhen changed color, and was about to dodge as soon as he shrank his head, but was grabbed by a big muscular hand and struggled to get out.
Wang Zhen didn't realize until now that the white-haired old man of the Song people around him had so much strength.
With Wang Zhen's scream of "ah-", the javelin popped and stuck five steps in front of Wang Zhen.
Chen Tian sneered and waved his hand: "Come and don't go, it's rude!" β
"Boom!"
On Chen Tian's side, the sergeants pushed up a bed crossbow, with three giant bows on it, two positive and one negative, after winding, they could use the power of three bows at the same time, this is the pinnacle of the Song people's large-scale heavy crossbows defending the city before Su You came to this world - three-bow bed crossbow.
Three-bow bed crossbow, also known as "eight-cow crossbow", the arrow is made of hard wood as the shaft, and the iron piece is used as the feather, which is known as "one gun and three swords and arrows".
The axle of the bed crossbow originally required more than 30 people to pull it apart, but after the transformation of the science and technology, the gear set rocker arm was used instead, which could be doubled to shake the winding, but the winding time was many times slower.
Its power can be thousands of paces, and if fired at close range, it can be nailed directly into the city wall, so that the siege soldiers can climb it.
Now that it's unfolded, it's really powerful!
As soon as Pang Mu Zhitu saw this big guy push out, he lay on the ground, and the crossbow bolts like giant crossbows and javelins swept over his head in the blink of an eye, crossing the short school field, and opening a bloody path in the crowd!
Not only the sword-like crossbow arrows, but even the iron feathers on both sides of the tail have become terrifying blades! Along the way, the stump and broken leg were splashed with blood, and finally the three Champa soldiers were strung together and nailed to the school grounds!
Immediately after, countless short crossbow arrows shot towards the school yard like a storm!
The screams were endless, and Pang Mu Zhitu waved his knife and shouted: "Rush over, no matter how strong it is, it can't be two shots!" Wall Melee! β
The only rattan army guarded Pang Mu Zhitu in the center, braving the rain of arrows on all sides, and rushed towards Wang Zhen with difficulty.
As for the sergeants who did not have shields, they were shot to the ground before they rushed to the corner of the street.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
On the west and east sides of the school field, there were two loud noises, and two huge crossbow arrows staggered through the small rattan array, breaking up the dense rattan array in an instant, and countless crossbow arrows took advantage of the void to enter, taking away another wave of lives.
But these people were the elite of the Champa king, and immediately a sergeant grabbed it, picked up the broken rattan plaque from the hands of his comrades, and joined the team again, and the protector would continue to move forward.
The protective effect of the rattan brand against the crossbow is actually average, and many crossbow arrows either burrow into the gap of protection or shoot the uncovered legs and feet of the sergeants, causing the sergeants to scream again and again.
By the time they rushed through the gate and came to the best section of the stone street in the old state, more than half of the Cham's army had already suffered casualties.
In a pair of months, the people of Champa certainly learned to siege the city, and the people of Jiuzhou also learned to use crossbows, and now it seems that it is obvious that the soldiers of Jiuzhou have improved much more than the Hanli army.
In the city of Jiuzhou, more than 30,000 Ding Zhuang have been quietly concentrated by using small boats to return, and in more than a month of defensive battles, they have learned to use crossbows.
Shoot a crossbow from the roof into the crowded plaza below, and you don't have to aim at all.
As long as you move fast, there will always be damage
Although there were not many people brought by Chen Tian, there were many crossbows and arrows, and they had been hidden until now, and finally they had a hard time pit Heli.
