Chapter 1086: The Field City is Broken
"Hahaha, it's really endless, I'm Gaochang!" On the tower of the city gate, Ju Wensheng looked up to the sky and laughed, he originally thought that this time Tiandi City was in a catastrophe, but the news that the Tang Army had not broken through the city gates could not help but make him overjoyed, he didn't expect that his resolute determination to resist would save Tiandi City once.
"That's all the stuff of the legendary gunpowder?" Ju Wensheng was full of spirits, and the fear of Datang gunpowder in his heart was greatly reduced, although the gunpowder just now did have the power to destroy the world, but the city gates could be blocked to keep the field city, and it seemed that gunpowder was not invincible.
However, Ju Wensheng was not happy for too long, and he heard the rousing drum beat again, and the Tang army under Tiandi City attacked again, this time it was not a feint, but a truly brutal siege began.
"Hold on, hold on with all your might!" Ju Wensheng saw the Tang army attacking, and hurriedly shouted, Tiandi City blocked the gunpowder attack, which greatly increased his confidence, in the chaotic area of the Western Regions, fighting is a common thing, Ju Wensheng has experienced a lot of offensive and defensive battles, and has a lot of experience in defending the city, even if it is the famous Tang Army, he is not afraid at all, this time he will definitely make the Tang Army pay the price.
However, the next scene completely shattered Ju Wensheng's illusions, and what he didn't know was that the appearance of gunpowder had changed the pattern of warfare.
"Boom! Rumble! An explosion exploded on the wall of the field city, and the fire and roar filled the entire field city, and under the bombardment of gunpowder thrown by the trebuchet, the defenders of the field city that had just been reorganized were once again crushed.
It turned out that the trebuchet threw stones, and the defenders of Field City could still hide under the battlements, but this time the trebuchet threw gunpowder bags, and it could also explode twice on the city wall, and the defenders could not hide, and they could not organize resistance at all.
"Rush!" Xin Fang'er roared angrily.
As Hou Junji's henchman, what Hou Junji values most is bravery, and he takes the lead every time and fights extremely decisively.
After so many years of fighting, it was the first time for him to see such an easy siege, and seeing that the defenders were suppressed, the Tang army easily attacked the city, and almost did not encounter much resistance, so he naturally decided to attack the city.
Soon the hook and sickle ladder had already erected the wall of Tiandi City, and the Tang army began to rush up and storm the city wall.
Seeing that Tiandi City had reached the critical point of life and death, and at this time, the Tang army was also afraid of accidentally injuring their own people, and had stopped throwing gunpowder packs, and the surviving defenders of Tiandi City got the opportunity and got up to fight back, but they had just shown their heads, and then the Tang army had a wave of grenades thrown on the city wall.
"Boom! Rumble! A series of grenades exploded on the city walls, and the counterattack that Tiandi City had just organized was once again routed.
"It's fun!" Xin Fang'er threw all the grenades in her hand towards the city wall, and when she saw the explosion on the city wall, she couldn't help but say happily.
Although he is not used to the Mo family, he can't put down the powerful and easy-to-use grenade, which is simply an artifact of war.
Xin Fang'er jumped up to the wall of Tiandi City, slashed over the Gaochang guards who raised their spears with a knife, and couldn't help laughing and said: "The first merit is Lao Tzu." ”
The first ascent was one of the most important feats of the Tang army, and was usually awarded to the first besieger to ascend the enemy army. Once the attacking side has climbed the wall and the defending side has lost the advantage of the wall, the siege battle has been won.
Sure enough, as Xin Fang'er landed in the city, he killed all sides, and won the opportunity for the follow-up Tang army to enter the city, more and more Tang troops climbed the city wall, and the advantage of breaking the city became greater and greater.
Soon, the defenders of Gaochang gradually collapsed and could no longer form an effective resistance, and the Tang army soon occupied the city walls and stormed the city quickly.
"Field City is already in the bag!"
Hearing the shouts of killing in the city, Hou Junji couldn't help but show a smile, the Tang army won the first battle and captured Tiandi City in just half a day, which can not only deter Gaochang, but more importantly, it can provide the Tang army with a foothold, and solve the problem of grain and grass for the Tang army.
As the shouts of killing in the field city gradually subsided, with the cooperation of the inside and outside, the gate of the field city that had been blocked was reopened.
Xin Fang'er rushed out of the city with a happy face, bowed down in front of the Dihou Junji and said: "General Qiyu, the last general has not disgraced his mission and has captured Tiandi City!" ”
"Good! Xin Zhonglang will be the first to take the lead in this battle! Hou Junji laughed and said, Xin Fang'er did perform well in the siege battle, but Hou Junji did not mention the gunpowder skill of the firearms supervisor, if there was no gunpowder cooperation, Xin Fang'er wanted to take Tiandi City probably not so easily.
"Was there enough food and grass in the city?" Hou Junji asked the most critical question for the Tang army.
Xin Fang'er was not embarrassed, he only cared about attacking the city just now, where to pay attention to the problem of grain and grass, fortunately, Xue Wanjun came in a hurry, and relieved the siege: "General Qiyu, there is a lot of grain in the field city, which is enough for the army, and there are many cattle and sheep in the city, this time, our army has won a complete victory, and there is no need to worry about the future." ”
Tiandi City naturally lives up to its name, there are many fields, and it is a famous grain producing area in Gaochang, otherwise the Tang army would not have taken it as the first target.
"Good!" Hou Junji was overjoyed when he heard this, with grain and grass, the Tang army has completely gained a firm foothold in Gaochang, and it is time for Gaochang to have a headache next!
"General, please come into the city!" Xin Fang'er stammered.
Hou Junji laughed and stepped into the Tiandi City proudly, only to see that the war in the Tiandi City had subsided, and there were surrendered Gaochang garrisons everywhere, and well-preserved granaries, and frightened cattle and sheep scurrying around from time to time.
Seeing all this, the generals were slightly relieved that there was indeed enough grain and grass for 100,000 Tang troops in Tiandi City.
"What about our casualties?" After completely controlling Tiandi City, Hou Junji frowned and asked.
Niu Jinda hurriedly came and reported: "General Qiyu, fortunately, with the help of firearms and gunpowder, our army won a great victory, and the losses of the soldiers were slight, only 200 people were killed in battle, and more than 1,000 people were wounded. ”
Hou Junji nodded slightly, being able to take a well-guarded city with 200 people killed in battle is indeed a great victory.
"Let the military doctors do their best to diagnose and treat these thousand wounded, and we must not lose any more soldiers, they are all meritorious men of Datang." Hou Junji ordered.
Niu Jinda arched his hand and said: "General rest assured, there are already military doctors who have tried their best to diagnose and treat, and besides, there is Qinglong real medicine, I believe that these more than 1,000 soldiers will definitely be cured." ”
With the suturing technique and alcohol disinfection, the healing rate of the wounded can reach as much as ninety, plus the Qinglong True Medicine, as long as the soldiers do not die immediately or are injured in the inner abdomen, almost all of them can be treated back, this time the Western Expedition, the army naturally carried enough Qinglong True Medicine.
"Where is Ju Wensheng? He resisted so stubbornly, sealed all the four city gates, and injured my soldiers, how could General Ben spare him! Hou Junji roared angrily, according to the Gaochang information collected by the Tang Dynasty, he naturally knew that Ju Wensheng was the lord of Tiandi City, Ju Wensheng did not know the arrival of the firearms supervisor, and he actually sealed the four gates in advance, which shows how determined this person is to resist.
"Back to the general, Ju Wensheng has died at the hands of the last general." Xin Fang'er said proudly, this time in addition to his first achievement, he also beheaded Ju Wensheng, which can be described as a great achievement.
"That's a bargain!" Hou Junji hated and stopped.
"The general loves the soldiers like sons, and those wounded must be grateful when they learn of the general's love." Xin Fang'er complimented.
Hou Junji was greatly accepted and said: "Pass the order, kill cattle and sheep, and reward the three armies." ”
Soon there were bursts of cheers in Tiandi City, and the Tang army traveled seven thousand miles, and finally had the stronghold of Tiandi City.
