Chapter 1168: Battle of Heiankyo (4) (Page 1/1)

The penetration of crossbow arrows is obviously far better than that of artillery shells, and the shield array of the Dongjiang Army is also the first time to encounter such an attack, without defensive experience. The shield array suddenly suffered serious casualties, and the crossbow arrows not only had good penetration, but also the huge thrust could completely injure people and take them directly after penetrating the shield.

As a result, the originally tight formation of the shield array was immediately disrupted in several places, and although the crossbow arrows of the Japanese still could not cause much damage to the Dongjiang army, they were able to block the advance of the Dongjiang army to a large extent. And this bought the Japanese army more time to fight the Dongjiang army.

Cao Xiong was very satisfied with the effect of the crossbow arrows, he seemed to see the hope of repelling the Dongjiang army, and kept urging those crossbow archers to get on the arrows as soon as possible and shoot again.

But Chen Jisheng was extremely angry at the moment, he didn't expect that the would-be would-be wouldn't have crossbow arrows at all. Fortunately, the situation is not too bad, and there don't seem to be many crossbow arrows from the Woko, although it has caused a lot of trouble to the shield array, but as long as you adjust the formation next time, you can try to avoid such damage.

Chen Jisheng didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered to change the formation, and then continued to make great strides. It is only about a hundred steps away from the city gate, and if it is usual, Chen Jisheng can take the risk of rushing into the city gate cave to plant explosives at this time. But now it can't be done, the Japanese army uses crossbow arrows, and he has no chance to rush forward.

"Shoot!" Kusao's command erupted from the city walls.

He had already seen the Dongjiang Army change its formation, and although he didn't know what the effect of this small change was, he still did not hesitate to order archery.

The bowstrings of the giant crossbow rattled, and twelve huge crossbow arrows then shot out, heading straight for the shield array of the Dongjiang army. This time, the Dongjiang army had already taken precautions, and when the soldiers of the shield array saw that the crossbow arrows were about to shoot at the place where they were standing, they actually chose to avoid it directly. And those who followed behind them dodged away.

In an instant, the shield array, which was originally closely linked, immediately appeared with twelve long gaps. And the bolts that followed landed right in the gaps, burrowing into the ground. The long tail of the arrow shook incessantly, making a buzzing sound, very harsh.

This time, there was not a single casualty among the soldiers in the shield array, and when Chen Jisheng saw such an achievement, the ice on his face finally melted. Happy, he immediately gave the order to make the final sprint.

Under his order, the shield array began to protect the city gate hole dozens of steps away from Chen Jisheng's rush. And the grass male on the city wall was very confused, and he really didn't understand why the Dongjiang army did this. Isn't the normal siege of the city when you are close to the city, you start to erect a ladder, and then climb the city wall to attack it?

With a puzzled face, Cao Xiong saw that some Dongjiang troops had already rushed to the city gate, and then they didn't come out. The confused Cao Xiong soon realized that it was not good, although he didn't know what the Dongjiang Army was going to do, but it was not appropriate to let those people hide in the city gate cave safely.

"Quick, rolling stones and hot oil over there!" Cao Xiong immediately ordered the Dongjiang army to attack the city gate hole.

The execution ability of the Japanese army is not bad, and they can fight wherever they want to according to Cao Xiong's orders. At his command, rolling stones and hot oil began to roll down under the city gates.

This was a pain for the shield hand below, and more than a hundred people had no time to dodge, and were hit by the rolling stones and hot oil. Rolling stones tumble down from several meters of the city wall, and the gravity of them seems to be beyond the reach of a mere human being. The shieldman is not an idiot either, standing still and letting the rolling stones smash it, so the shieldman below will start to flee when he sees that the situation is not good.

Unfortunately, they fled more slowly, and more than 60 people were attacked, directly resulting in more than half of the dead and wounded. Although the rest escaped, some were wounded, and all of them were burned by the hot oil.

Chen Jisheng had already begun to bury explosives in the city gate cave at this moment, and although the movement outside was not small, it could not affect him. After a busy day, Chen Jisheng finally finished placing the explosives. He picked up the fuse and was about to light the fire, but he glanced behind him, but he didn't notice the shield hand who was supposed to be guarding him.

In front of Chen Jisheng's eyes, there were corpses and messes all over the ground, which made Chen Jisheng confused. Then seeing the stones that were still rolling down from time to time on the city wall, Chen Jisheng suddenly came over.

No wonder I couldn't see the figure, it turned out that I ran away after being attacked. But without the protection of the shield hand, it would be difficult for Chen Jisheng to escape after igniting the fire. Maybe he just ran out of the city gate and died there.

The situation on the battlefield without ignition will continue to be bad, and it will also cause more casualties among the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army. Chen Jisheng gritted his teeth, and finally decided to ignite the fire as soon as possible.

"......"

Chen Jisheng turned around and no longer hesitated, lit the fuse, and then looked at the direction outside the city gate, flew out and ran to the right along the city wall to escape.

Running against the city wall will not be easily spotted by the Japanese army above. Unless there is a bad head in the war, he will stick his head out and look down.

Obviously, Chen Jisheng's escape skills on the battlefield can stand the test, he has run more than 200 meters, and he is still safe and sound. At this moment, there was a sudden loud explosion in the city gate cave. Without any accidents, the West Gate collapsed directly after the explosion.

The change came too suddenly, and the Japanese army on the city wall who were bent on defending against the enemy suddenly screamed continuously, especially the Japanese who happened to be guarding above the city gate, and were directly shocked by the sound wave of the explosion, and then fell into the collapsed ruins and lost their breath.

Two or three hundred Japanese soldiers were killed in the explosion, and the huge and shocking explosion frightened the Japanese army even more. And Cao Xiong was no exception, he looked at the collapsed city gate stupidly, and forgot to command the battle for a while.

Chen Jisheng has been picked up by the shield men who rushed over, and after learning that Chen Jisheng is safe and sound, Chen Qiyue, who has already sharpened his sword, ordered the whole army to launch a general attack. The target was the cave that had collapsed in the bombing.

As soon as the horn of the Dongjiang Army's general attack sounded, Cao Xiong immediately came back to his senses and watched the Dongjiang Army rush over like a tide. Kuao's heart is full of death. In any case, he didn't expect that Heiankyo would be broken by the Dongjiang Army in the end.

Originally, with the high and strong walls of Heiankyo, and the Dongjiang army had no siege equipment. He could have lasted a day or two, but at this moment, Cao Xiong realized how ignorant he was. The Dongjiang Army is full of tricks, and he is overwhelmed at all, and he doesn't know anything.

"Quick, inform the Emperor and evacuate from the North Gate!" Cao Xiong no longer bothered to organize defense, but yelled at the guards behind him.
