Chapter 889: Attack on Gaoling
That night, Lu Bu gathered the generals of all the departments in one place, "Chang'an Li Dao, Guo Yan and other rebels, do a lot of evil, everyone gets and is punished, the soldiers are fast, tomorrow the fourth watch buries the pot to cook, the fifth watch begins to attack Gaoling, be sure to fill in the moat of Gaoling within five days, do not give the defenders a chance to breathe." “
"Whoa." The generals said in unison.
Lu Bu nodded secretly, through the tone of everyone, what he heard was a strong confidence, such a general can lead the subordinates to be called elite, if as a general, he has no confidence in the war, how to talk about the soldiers below.
"Hao Meng, the matter of the thunderbolt car will be handed over to you to deal with, if the defenders in the city pose a threat to our army, Ben Hou will ask you." Lu Budao.
Hao Meng came out of the column and hugged his fists and said: "Although the lord can rest assured, the last general will keep it so that the defenders will never forget it." ”
Among the generals of the state army, Hao Meng was the first to contact the thunderbolt car, and he had a lot of achievements in the thunderbolt car, and he was mainly responsible for the soldier's control of the thunderbolt car, although Hao Meng's martial arts can only be regarded as average, since he controlled the thunderbolt car, his status in the army is not low, plus Hao Meng was originally the general who originally followed Lu Bu's side, and won Lu Bu's trust.
Lu Bu nodded, Hao Meng worked hard in training the thunderbolt, he saw it, and attacking Gaoling, the first thing to bear the brunt of was to fill in the moat, and the role of the bed crossbow was to help the state army to attack the city, and the agile soldiers, in the face of the defenders' wooden boulders, were also able to continue to attack the city wall with the crossbow arrows on the city wall.
In the field battlefield, the role of the bed crossbow is much higher than that of the thunderbolt, especially the penetration ability of the bed crossbow, even if the soldier holding the shield can be penetrated or knocked away, it is completely suppressive on the battlefield, as long as the bed crossbow is safe, it can cause continuous damage to the enemy.
"Huang Zhong led the Lieyang Bow to protect the safety of the thunderbolt in the east of the city, and Li Yan and Yang Feng led the flying horses in the south of the city." Lu Bu continued to order, although the thunderbolt is very powerful, but relatively easy to destroy, there are thousands of cavalry in the city, once these cavalry out of the city, it will be a big trouble, Lu Bu has to divide a large number of cavalry to protect the thunderbolt cart.
"Whoa." The three of them came out and said in unison.
Seeing that Lu Bu set his eyes on himself, Jia Xu got up and said: "The strength of the Xiliang army in the city cannot be underestimated, even if our army has tens of thousands of people, it is necessary to do a good job of patrolling at night to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp. ”
After the affairs of the generals were arranged, the generals of the various departments retreated one after another, and tomorrow they would launch an attack on Gaoling, and the soldiers needed to rest well in order to deal with the next battle.
The next day, when the sky was twilight, the defenders of the city fell into a panic, in the south of the city, the north of the city and the east of the city, there were a large number of soldiers and soldiers of the state, what appeared in their field of vision was some strange things, and next to these things, there were thousands of cavalry guards, at this time there were only more than 100 cavalry in the city who could fight, and naturally did not dare to open the city gate.
On the city wall, Zhang Ji frowned, judging from the shape of these things and the information obtained, there is no doubt that it is a thunderbolt car, the existence of a thunderbolt car is the most worrying for Zhang Ji, if there is no thunderbolt car, even if there are 6,000 people in the city, he is confident that he can block the Bingzhou army, Gaoling City is high and deep, if the Bingzhou army attacks, the damage will not be small.
The thunderbolt came to a halt at a distance of 200 paces from the city walls, and the soldiers of the city could only watch as the Bingzhou army threw boulders onto the walls.
It was an unequal battle, and the defenders, who were originally in an advantageous position in the terrain, were temporarily at a disadvantage because of the presence of the Thunderbolts.
This was also the first time that many defenders had faced the Thunderbolt, and they had heard of the Thunderbolt before, but now they really saw it, but it made people unable to resist, and the huge boulders that came from all over the world were enough to crush them persistently.
A Xiliang sergeant threw down the blade in his hand and fled towards the city, and the robe that was still alive was blurred by the thunderbolt in a blink of an eye, so close to him.
Looking at the panicked soldiers, Zhang Ji suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, killed two retreating soldiers one after another, and shouted: "The enemy is now, and those who dare to retreat without an order will be killed!" ”
The deputy general led a hundred guards to patrol the city, but whenever he encountered the retreating soldiers, he stepped forward to kill, and the cruel means gradually stabilized the city, although it was very dangerous on the city wall, but he would not die immediately, and retreated, which could only speed up death.
Seeing that his own archers were completely useless, Zhang Ji ordered: "Let the soldiers hide behind the women's wall, and leave a small number of soldiers to observe the situation of the state army." ”
With Zhang Ji's order, many soldiers hid behind the women's wall.
Although Gaoling City was repaired by Zhang Ji's efforts, under the attack of the thunderbolt car, the newly built stones on the city fell one after another, and the two virgin walls were even directly smashed down by the thunderbolt car, and the soldiers behind the female wall who could not escape were wailing.
From time to time, the boulders that smashed into the city wall and fell into the moat set off a huge wave, and the defenders of the city listened from time to time behind the female wall to hear the boulder crashing into the city wall and falling into the water.
A day of siege down, the city wall is full of potholes, miserable, these thunderbolt cars are transformed by the craftsman's workshop again, in the power is not the same, if you hit the weak city wall, Lu Bu is confident that with the thunderbolt car to crush it, this is the advantage of absolute suppression in the equipment, such as Gaoling, Chang'an and other cities, how many can there be in the world, once Zeng Di said that the thunderbolt can be built, and the state army's ability in the siege of the city can be improved again.
In the city, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji looked at each other, they had tried their best to consider the thunderbolt car, but they didn't expect the thunderbolt car to be so powerful, and they also saw the madness of the siege of the state army today, under the cover of the thunderbolt car, the soldiers of the state army did not even carry a blade, and threw bags of dirt and gravel directly into the moat.
"General Zhang, if it goes down like this, in a few days, the moat will be filled for the Bingzhou army, and then our soldiers will meet the Bingzhou saber soldiers." Fan Chou said worriedly, although he was worried about the siege of the Bingzhou army before, he did not have such worries.
Zhang Ji sighed, he couldn't see that this was the deterrence of the Bingzhou army, once the moat was filled, how could the defenders still have morale in the face of the Bingzhou army.
"I hope Youwei can lead the cavalry on the battlefield." Zhang Jidao, now he can only pin his hopes on Zhang Xiu and Chang'an's reinforcements.
At any time, late at night, the big tent of the Chinese army was brightly lit, and Lu Bu, Jia Xu, and Fu Zhu were analyzing the situation on the battlefield, and judging from the current situation, it was extremely beneficial to the army of Bingzhou.
