Chapter 972: The Battle of Unification
The new attack of the Lu family army on Yiling began, and the number of catapults today is more than double that of the past, and the dense catapults, like sorghum fields, filled all the open space in front of Yiling Pass, and were so dense that they collided with each other.
There is no need to be afraid of the counterattack of the city, because in the attack of nearly half a year, the fire oil bombs thrown by their own side have burned all the large attack weapons in the city, and all they have left is human lives and bows and arrows.
Human lives and bows and arrows are simply not worth mentioning in front of this dense catapult.
All the soldiers were inspected by the emperor before the battle, and the gods in their hearts, the invincible emperor, issued a request to every soldier, that is, within two days, this Yiling City, which had not been shaken for half a year, was turned into powder. Then the entire army marched into Jingzhou and took the first step towards unifying the world.
Unifying the world is the dream of all soldiers with heroic dreams. Unifying the world is the dream of all ordinary soldiers who are tired of war, and only when the world is unified can we return to peace. Those ordinary soldiers, the desire for peace has been too long, they have no hero complex, no ambition to become a king and become a handsome, in their hearts, their wives and children are hot on the kang, there are two meals of gruel a day, and there is a piece of land contracted to them until death, and they are satisfied.
Wang Dazhuang, watching the emperor impassioned there from a distance, the blood in his heart was constantly boiling, although he couldn't see the emperor's face clearly, he couldn't hear what the emperor said, but he saw the emperor's firm and powerful figure, which told him that the decisive battle was about to begin, the reunification was about to be realized, and the day of peace was coming.
In his mind, there is no glory of paying homage to the prime minister, there is no extravagant hope of returning home, and some are the eyes of the honest girl standing at the head of the village looking forward to his return after joining the army.
According to the rules, he is a soldier who must produce one of the three elder brothers, although he has a good military salary and enjoys the fifty acres of land that the government has given him free of taxes, but this cannot replace his desire for a peaceful life, and it cannot replace his passion for continuing to roll into the wheat straw with Ya Dan after he goes back, and when he comes out, Ya Dan has begun to vomit, and the old man tells him that this girl who already belongs to him has been pregnant with his species, and he is about to have offspring.
According to the regulations, if he reported the news, the superiors of the Lu family army could let him pay a sum of money for the service and exempt him from military service.
But he refused, because he knew that, as the retired Li Zheng in his hometown said, if everyone paid and no longer obeyed the military service, then there would be no one in this world to fight for reunification. As long as the Central Plains is not unified, the days of peace will not come, and he can be exempted from military service, but in the future, his son must continue to fight in the army, and his daughter must pay the money and food needed for the war.
The war should be ended by one's own generation, so that one's parents can enjoy peace, and one's children and grandchildren can enjoy peace.
The soldiers in front suddenly raised their swords and guns and shouted together: "War of reunification, enjoy peace." ”
Wang Dazhuang didn't know who shouted this slogan, but it shook his heart, so he raised the gun in his hand with enthusiasm and shouted hoarsely: "War of reunification, enjoy the peace, war of reunification, enjoy the peace." ”
All the people were boiling in the shouts of this voice, and then with a fierce drum beat, the shouts stopped, but the passion and blood still did not calm down, in Wang Dazhuang's entire body, the will to fight has been inflated, he wants to kill people now, he wants to be the first to climb the head of Yiling City, even if it is death.
The dense catapult in front of him had already blocked Wang Dazhuang's gaze, Wang Dazhuang couldn't help but stretch his neck to look forward, but the team leader next to him scolded him loudly: "Spearman Wang Dazhuang, keep in formation." ”
Habitual military discipline caused it to immediately retract its neck, waiting for its own order to charge.
The sound of the creaking catapult stirring became a loud one, overshadowing the sound of the huge mountain wind and the roar of the war drums, and there was really a deafening feeling.
As a huge red flag suddenly fell, the small red flags beside each catapult struggled to fall together.
"Hum-" converged into a shocking sound, all the catapults threw off their huge arms, and countless stone projectiles rose into the air, and the dense one had already covered the entire sky and enveloped the entire Yiling City. Those blue-black stone bullets swooped down on Yiling City like locusts, enveloping him in this stone egg in a blink of an eye.
All the people opened their mouths wide, stifled their shouts, and stared at the Yiling City tightly. This time it was no longer the sparse fire oil bomb, but the real stone eggs, they pounced on Yiling City like locusts, but in the blink of an eye, the huge reverberation of the stone eggs smashing on Yiling City immediately spread throughout the battlefield, and the dim dust rose up on the side of Yiling City, and in a blink of an eye, Yiling City was completely shrouded in dust, and everyone could no longer see the effect, but the tremor from that side made everyone feel the great power of this attack.
Wang Dazhuang stared nervously at the dusty city wall, waiting for his boss to issue the order for the spearmen to charge.
But he didn't get the order to charge, and all he heard was the long, monotonous voice: "Catapult, load—"
Then there was the sound of the catapult stirring in my ears, squeaking, but it was only half an hour, and the red flag that commanded the catapult was resolutely lowered again, and the little red flag standing on the side of the catapult was firmly put down again, and with another deafening roar, the overwhelming stone bullets once again covered the sky.
Yiling City, which was wrapped in dust, the dust that had not yet dissipated, suddenly became thick again, and in the rumbling blow, Wang Dazhuang clearly heard a strange sound, Gaba Gaba, that was the sound of something before it collapsed, Yiling City was about to collapse.
"A stone bomb, a fire oil bomb, ready-release-"
Stone bombs and fire oil bombs rose into the air again, and the sound of the collapse of Yiling City suddenly rolled up black flame smoke in the dust.
Again and again, such repeated blows, finally Wang Dazhuang's ears heard the sound he had long wanted to hear, and the huge collapse roar spread throughout the battlefield.
The archers in front of them suddenly heard a clear voice, and shouted calmly: "Wind-" Then the entire archer brigade began to charge towards Yiling City with sonorous steps.
At this time, his captain shouted loudly: "Spearman, charge-"
Wang Dazhuang and all the brothers around him shouted in a deep voice: "Mountain-"
Then, under the cover of the overwhelming stone bullets and fire grenades overhead, he rushed towards Yiling City with firm steps.
