Stone bullets smashed into the city wall with a thousand equal forces. Like an earthquake, the entire wall shook incessantly.
The stone bullets flying in the city also accurately fell into the thunderbolt position of the Jin army! Not only Liu Zhuo, but also the soldiers in the city clearly saw that when the stone bullet hit the ground, the soldiers who were hit were gone!
It's like a ripe tomato falling to the ground, red and red.
Suddenly, a burst of cheers rang out! Liu Zhuo looked for the sound, and saw that in the thunderbolt position of the Jin army, a horizontal bar with a holster was flying into the air! Ha ha! This must have been a stone bullet that hit the thunderbolt directly, smashing it to pieces!
"Haha! Fuck it! Smash it well! The shouts of cheer were heard throughout the southern city.
The stone bullets hit the ground one after another, although the power was far less sharp than the Jin army's 100-pound stone bullets, but there was always some damage. The Jin army's thunderbolt position has begun to be chaotic!
The Jin army artillerymen, who were accustomed to being as steady as Mount Tai and only throwing shots, obviously did not expect that they would be attacked so fiercely. Although they remained in place under the orders of the officers, almost everyone was constantly on the lookout for stones falling from the sky. I still prayed in my heart that I wouldn't hit myself. Otherwise, it's a dead end!
With a loud bang, another thunderbolt of the Jin army was 'lucky' to be hit directly, and the cannon tips were scattered horizontally and smashed into the ground, causing the chassis to shatter directly. And the frightened gunners, each with a guy in their hands at this time! The Jin army's thunderbolt carts were too densely placed, and although they posed a considerable threat to the walls and defenders of Zhen'an City, they also increased their own chances of being attacked!
The officers shouted at the top of their lungs. The soldiers fought hard and exchanged shots with the Don army. But they still have the city wall as a cover, we are completely exposed under each other's noses, and we don't even know where the Tang Army's thunderbolt is! Looking at the steady stream of corpses that were smashed into pulp, and the companions with the missing parts of their legs, feet and arms howling desperately, all the soldiers of the Jin army realized that this time the battle was. It's hard to fight, and I hit the iron plate!
Luogan.
The camp of the Jinde coalition army.
"......Pop" There was a cracking sound, and in the corner under the gate, a cracked wine jar shattered on the ground, and together with this one, there were already five fragments of the wine jar piled up under the gate, and a slight aroma of wine rose from there.
"General, the last general will only bring the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, and he will definitely mention the head of the Han thief and the dog to pay tribute within half an hour." A sturdy military general looked at the small group of Hedong soldiers wandering and scolding outside the village with a resentful face. The foul smell of curses made his face flush.
"Wang Dudu, general, our army has 80,000 cavalry, why be afraid of his battalion of soldiers, the last general begs for his life, and goes out of the city to kill that broken mouth of the thief." More than one general was angry, and another person threw down the wine cup in his hand, jumped up, and jumped up with bruises on his head. It's already angry.
Wang Tao was a little moved, and his eyes couldn't help but look out of the city. He sat on the gate and looked so high that he also looked at the 6,000 soldiers from Hedong.
"Dudu, the last general also begs for his life......"
"The Last General Begs for His Life......"
Seeing Wang Tao, there was a hint of emotion. The generals of the Texas Army, who had had enough of sulking, also asked for battle.
Seeing that there was a trend of a big war, Ba Liehu frowned and said, "Gentlemen, don't fall for this radical plan!" ”
"In ancient times, how could I have ever heard of a battalion of soldiers provoking 80,000 elites? There is obviously a fraud in this! Ba Liehu was also disturbed by the scolding outside the village. But he remained clear throughout.
"As soon as our army comes out, he will inevitably turn around and run, leading our army to an ambush......" Ba Liehu had not finished speaking. A general with a blue head had already shouted: "The soldiers on both wings come out, lock the seal, and see where they are going?" I cut him down when I went out. ”
"Hedong cavalry will be easy? The armor is excellent, the army is neat, they are the world's first-class elite division, our army is 80,000 foot cavalry, not an hour or two to try to exterminate a battalion of Hedong elite cavalry.
Not to mention how many casualties will have to be paid in one or two hours, who dares to guarantee that there will be no Zhu Biao cavalry in these two hours? Explain that the enemy and I are entangled, and if we want to retreat, can we still keep the Luoyuan camp? ”
Ba Liehu's tone was a little heavier. Zhu Biao did not attack Luo'an, but used his elite cavalry to block Luo'an's land connection with the outside world.
And as for the air. The flying eagle harriers that used to be seen in every major war are now fewer and fewer. Because both sides are aware of each other's reconnaissance methods, and they are also on guard, in every big battle, it is the birds who fight first. The dead that fell from the sky won the dead harrier, and there could be dozens of crackling falls.
No matter how many birds were in reserve in the army and the government, they were almost consumed in the sixth year of the war. As for re-cultivating and replenishing blood, there is too much difference to make ends meet.
At the moment, there are more carrier pigeons left among the birds, and it is okay to spread the news, but aerial reconnaissance is not enough. And the safety of the pigeon is too poor, the flying eagle harrier, not to mention the hunting of one by one, the strong bow and crossbow near the ground also have a lot of threat.
Here in Luoyuan, since the Hedong cavalry surrounded it, there has been no news from outside. No one dared to guarantee that somewhere outside the camp, there would be no large number of enemy horsemen in ambush.
"That's it!" Wang Tao pulled out his hand and put an end to this topic, "I will send the masters in the army to go out to investigate, and then make theories when there is a return!" ”
If the scout is not used, the master will come out. There are mountains and forests in Luoyuan, as long as they leave the mountains and forests, the Hedong soldiers can't stop the masters.
"Wang Taopifu, get out of the city quickly. If Sanhe doesn't kill you and the horse, grandpa will hide his face and kill himself, ashamed of my ancestors......"
"Cat Cat, come out and play. Grandpa caught a few rats and waited for you......"
Bursts of scolding still came, and the Han army Sima led by him made everyone on the gate uncomfortable and disgusting as if they had eaten flies.
"Vertical ......" cursed hatefully, and Wang Tao snorted angrily.
"Report ...... ......"Not long after, less than half an hour, a figure flashed into the military village like a fly, and it took three or five ups and downs all the way to the gate. "Governor Yudu, the Han army was found ambushed on the hillside ten miles outside the camp, and the number is unknown......"
"Let's go down...... Wang Tao rubbed his head, "Without my military order, you will not be allowed to fight." After that, he threw his hands off the gate and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army. Although there are only 30,000 infantry armor belonging to him, Ba Liehu's soldiers are 50,000 cavalry, but the position. Ba Liehu can't catch up with Wang Tao even if he shoots a horse.
The Jin army is the soldier and horse armor of the Jin domain, but isn't the king of Jin also a hardcore little brother of the imperial court at the moment. In essence, it is also Zhou Jun.
It doesn't make sense for a miscellaneous general to let a state overseer obey orders.
The same thing happened in Zhongmu, Dawan and Qiangxing, but there were not so many people. Because the total number of Texas troops in these three places is only 90,000, the more 30,000 is less than 40,000, and the few are only in the early 20,000s. The Han and Tang cavalry scattered in the three places were only 8,000 people, and together with the Zhu Tong Department of Luoyuan, the Northern Frontier cavalry of the Zhou army in the four places was only 15,000 cavalry.
The lack of 15,000 cavalry could not seriously affect the combat power of Zhu Biao's main force. It is definitely worth it to look at the death of the Jinde coalition army at this price.
And. The fifteen thousand cavalry did indeed seal the Jinde coalition army. Luoyuan and Zhongmu both stayed in the nest honestly and did not show their heads. The Texan troops in Qiangxing and Dawan came out and stretched out their claws.
Qiangxing only has 20,000 troops, and half of the army besieges the Hedong cavalry outside the city, and it is unfortunate that the person who commands the elite cavalry of this Quhedong is Zhu Pingchuan.
Zhu Pingchuan did not lead his troops to retreat, but charged in the front line, only 500 cavalry penetrated the enemy formation, resulting in a great defeat of the 10,000 Texas army out of the city.
After being taught a lesson, the army of Qiangxing no longer dared to jump, and honestly guarded the city.
The Great Bay Texas Army had 35,600 men. Zhu Zhenguo took a thousand horsemen to shout and curse outside the city. The main general of Dawan sent the only 5,000 cavalry under his command, and he would go out of the city with 10,000 foot armor.
Zhu Zhenguo also did not take a step back, and led his troops to fight to the death with the enemy at the moment. He broke into the formation more than ten times before and after, and suffered seven or eight wounds. The Dawan Texas Army originally thought that it would be easy to repel a thousand cavalry under the city. The 5,000 Texas cavalry even despised Zhu Zhenguo, who only had 1,000 cavalry, but Zhu Zhenguo was caught off guard, retreated in defeat after defeat, and moved back to the battle after adding 10,000 foot armor.
But the three thousand Tang cavalry that followed behind Zhu Zhenguo attacked at the right time. Taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Texas army, the army attacked fiercely! In this battle, Zhu Zhenguo's department killed people and blood. The horse is a bloody horse, the robe is thorough, and the knife is rolled and the gun is broken.
The Dawan Texas Army also exhausted its main force, sending 15,000 infantry troops out of the city to support, barely allowing the unprepared and crumbling front army to maintain the array.
The Dawan army invested 30,000 cavalry to the battlefield, but the Han and Tang cavalry only had 4,000 cavalry, and they continued to fight, and the outcome was unpredictable. Fortunately, at this time, the two hundred Tang cavalry who stayed more than ten miles away to guard the war horses drove the war horses to bluff and make a big army attack, which frightened the frightened bird-like Dawan Texas generals. The Texas army had no will to fight, retreated to the city, and could not hold out so far.
In this battle, Zhu Zhenguo's department lost more than 30 percent, plus the hundreds of cavalry lost by the Tang army, the total number was sharply reduced by 20 percent. The Texas army in Dawan, after counting the soldiers, found that there were less than 3,000 cavalry left for 5,000, and the 25,000 infantry armor that went out to fight was also 3,000 short.
The losses were heavy, and he never dared to peek outside the city again.
Zhenanseong.
The Jin army besieged the city for several days, and apart from the previous large-scale artillery battle, there was only a small-scale tentative attack, and then there was no major action.
Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Zhen'an like an iron bucket, and even the south gate was blocked. Chen An did not dare to be careless, and would go to the city every day to inspect it, and at the same time urge the craftsmen in the city to make thunderbolt cars. In a few days, seven large and medium-sized thunderbolts were added to each of the four cities in the east, west, south and north.
But the Jin army was not idle, and after using a large number of equipment to run his old nest as solid, he also made a big thunderbolt, intending to win by quantity.
The equipment in Zhen'an City is absolutely limited, and due to the terrain in the city, it is impossible to erect a group of thunderbolts on a large scale like outside the city. Therefore, Zheng Guoxiong drove the soldiers and craftsmen to build equipment on a large scale, and mobilized a large number of troops to demolish the market town outside the four gates nearby, obtain wood and stone bullets cheaply, and ask for them nearby.
It was another early morning, Chen An came to the south gate early, and when it was not yet dawn, Liu Zhuo reported to the city that there was a big move in the Jin army outside the south gate, and it seemed that Zheng Guoxiong was going to do it.
After Chen An went to the city, he stood at the head of the city, looked down, and couldn't help but be shocked! In just one night, there was a cannon forest outside the south gate of Zhen'an! Although the sky is not yet clear, in the mist, the towering black shadows are the nemesis of the city defense! Looking from left to right, you can't see it at a glance!
Stroking the cold city wall, Chen Anxin knew that the time for the decisive battle was coming!
Leaving the south of the city and inspecting all the way, there are really too many large equipment prepared by his current Jin army to count. In addition to a large number of thunderbolts and wells and punches outside the south gate, the northeast two gates are also equipped with a lot of wells and ladder trucks.
"Two sides of the auxiliary, one side of the main attack. The Jin army has to open a gap in the southern city. Lu Tong also rushed to the convergence and said in a deep voice.
"General Chen, although Zhen'an City is strong, it can be blocked by hundreds of thunderbolts. If the Jin thief is not afraid of injury and shoots, the car formation in the city is not safe......" Liu Zhuo was very anxious.
The first blow to the defenders was the volley of the artillery swarm. Imagine that the sky above you is completely obscured by the whistling stone bullets, and a huge roar rings in your ears without interruption. All the buildings were shattered by the stone bombardment, and even a man of iron would be terrified!
The Jin army is powerful and has abundant capital, and as long as the thunderbolt group outside sweeps away the bed crossbow and disc tower of the city wall, it can reach the city wall within 100 steps. At that time, even if the thunderbolt in the city was covered by the city wall, it would definitely be within the range of the Jin army.
Chen An was silent and continued to inspect, and the sky gradually brightened at this time. The fog then dissipated. Turning to the south of the city again, Liu Zhuo nervously greeted him, pointed out the outside of the city and called Chen An to come and see.
"Watchtower!"
Chen Anshun looked in the direction of his finger and saw only outside the southern city. After the Jin army artillery group, several tall towers were erected, and the height completely exceeded the eight-zhang high city wall of Zhen'an. At the top of a board house about five feet wide, the lookout was looking at the castle of Zhen'an. Chen An saw it clearly.
"I'm afraid that the virtual and real thieves in the city will have a full view." Liu Zhuo didn't have much experience in leading troops, but he also knew the disadvantages of this situation, and his expression was very solemn. This is the army against the enemy. Isn't it important to know oneself and know one's opponent?
At the beginning, the defenders occupied the head of the city, condescending, and knew everything about the Jin army's every move outside the city. Now, the Jin army built watchtowers to monitor every move in the city, and this advantage no longer exists.
"The Jin thief can also act as the eyes and ears of the thunderbolt group through the watchtower, guiding the target. Once these hundreds of thunderbolts are fired in a salvo, ......," Liu Zhuo said anxiously.
Chen Anlu Tong glanced at each other, and a sudden smile appeared. "It's good that we have incendiary bombs."
"Oh, I'm in a hurry, how did I forget this." Liu Zhuo slapped his head, and in an instant, the whole person was relaxed.
"First strike! I'll let the artillery battalion do it......"
Chen An stopped Liu Zhuo, waved the whip in his hand, and said, "Don't rush first." Let's talk about it. Come on, summon Shang Pingnan, Wu Boniu and Han Gang Han Meng to the city to meet! ”
Lu Tong knew the meaning of the song when he heard it, and immediately said: "Lao Chen, you are going to ...... it"
"Take advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well. Don't do it for nothing, don't do it! ”
"I agree."
"It's still General Chen's thoughtfulness."
Liu Zhuo laughed heartily, the soldiers and horses took advantage of the fire to kill the generals, and they would definitely win a battle. "It's still the north wind today, God helps us."
"General Lu personally led the army, and General Shang was the deputy. The general's department, the headquarters of the two generals, and General Wu's 3,000 people, are in the camp" Chen An signaled to Han Gang and Han Meng, "Kill them together!" ”
"No!"
Lu Tong, Shang Pingnan, Wu Boniu, Han Gang and Han Meng echoed in unison.
"Then, you guys go down and prepare."
When the time had just passed, the Jin army had not yet come up. There is time for the infantry army in the city.
On the watchtower behind the Jin army's thunderbolt position, lookouts were vigilantly monitoring every move in the city. Standing in the air twelve feet high, facing the cool morning breeze, the soldier held the command flag in his arms and sniffed from time to time.
Soon, he discovered the movement of the defenders in the south of the city, and a large number of defenders gathered in the south of the city. He poked his head down and shouted downward. Jin Bing, who heard the news below, was not the slightest surprised. The posture of their own large-scale attack on the south of the city has been put on, and the defenders are stupid and don't take precautions? Of course, troops have to be transferred to the south of the city.
The news was quickly reported to the lieutenant, and then to Zheng Guoxiong's account.
As Xiao Bing thought, Zheng Guoxiong didn't care.
In the south of the city, more than 10,000 Tang troops are eating what may be the last breakfast of their lives.
There is no wine, and the rice and meat pipe are enough.
"I'm not talking nonsense to you! We are the old guys of Hedong, we lose our lives, we lose our lives, we lose our handsome faces, we have a big face! ”
"In the battle of the camp, you can't be ambiguous!"
Han Gang couldn't say it anymore after saying this, and the meaning of a qiē was expressed in his words.
Eight hundred traps in the camp, from the beginning of its establishment to the present, people have changed two rounds. The veterans who were there before are now only a hundred people in the province.
However, the heart of every soldier trapped in the camp is brave and fearless, without a trace of cowardice.
Death is no longer a terrible thing for them. The honor of the trapped camp is what matters. The first strong soldier in the east of the monument Hedong poured with blood cannot be tarnished by ashes.
They are as attached to their own honor as they are to their own strength. In the past few years, there have been many vicious battles, and the honor of the camp has been forged with his own bravery and accumulated achievements.
The medals created by the great feats have infiltrated into everyone's hearts, and they are the most powerful!
There is no battle formation that cannot be broken by the trapped camp, and there is no enemy that cannot be stopped by the trapped camp. Whether you ride a horse or step into a formation, there is no fear of being trapped.
At the right time, a large number of Jin army waves were used. Countless soldiers, like splashing water into the sand, blended into the hundreds of thunderbolts, and if the birds and birds returned to the nest, they were all in place.
"Put"
In the south of the city, nearly fifty thunderbolts, from three different positions, waved the red command flag with the roar of the artillery battalion horses in the city, and let go of the hook hanging from the cannon tip that stretched out from the base crossbar......
"Woo ......"
The counterweight box fell together, and the long cannon tip with a flaming incendiary bomb was instantly raised forward (to be continued)
