Section 1216 Retreat to the dungeon
War is cruel, death in war seems to be a very common thing, almost every second you will hear the screams of people, every moment there is blood splashed out, every scene is a scene of people falling in a pool of blood, in this tragic battle, life becomes worthless, only the sound of shouting and killing, screaming and broken bones and tendons are filled in the air!
Time flies long and fast, the reason why I say this is because every second is incomparably long in the feeling of all the soldiers defending the city, every time I throw the Rolling Wood Thunder Lime Bottle Cannon down, I feel that the speed of the fall of these city defense equipment is so slow, but relatively, unconsciously, the city wall has been full of entities, and the city wall is also full of corpses, only when they see these corpses, the two sides will realize that they have been fighting for a long time unconsciously, these bloody and miserable corpses are the best proof of the passage of time!
Soon half a day passed, and the imperial army sent a total of four waves of a total of twelve phalanxes to attack the city wall, and these twelve phalanxes were 120,000 people!
If you follow the usual attack routine, these 120,000 people can fight for a day, but under the premise that both sides are extremely excited, they have already fought to this extent in half a day, which shows how tragic and tense the battle is!
The imperial army has been broken, in the morning before the formation of all the remaining food for the soldiers to eat, in order to feed the soldiers, Hua Yulang even ordered the slaughter of five thousand war horses, of course, this is already the last ration of the imperial army, so every soldier of the imperial army knows that after breakfast, unless they break through the enemy formation, there will be no chance to eat!
After the hatred of the land, I don't hate the sun, I take the sun
Anyway, there is no need to eat lunch breaks, the imperial army still maintains that wave pattern of attack, but they don't eat does not mean that the people on the city wall do not eat either, in comparison, the soldiers defending the city are more tired than the besieging soldiers, they have to bear huge psychological pressure, carrying all kinds of equipment to defend the city, and the busy morning has made the soldiers defending the city tired.
In the process of defending, Long Tianci has successively dispatched two backup troops to replace the soldiers on the previous city wall to defend, but if this fatigue continues, the speed of replacement will be very frequent.
With the continuous attack of the enemy, the city wall has been riddled with holes, and the city gate has been completely deformed, if it were not for Long Tianci's order to block the city gate from the inside in advance, it is estimated that the city gate has been completely destroyed, but the calculation is so, the city gate still can't hold on for long, of course, compared with the city gate, the situation on the city wall is more tense, and the continuous attack for more than half a day has made the city defense equipment reserved by the dungeon army begin to bottom out, there are still some ash bottles and cannons left, and there is not much left of rolling wood and thunder stones.
When the war lasted until the afternoon, the Rolling Wood Thunder Stone was finally used up, and the blocking of the city defense equipment was lost, and the enemy army besieging the city gradually climbed the city wall, and there were more and more of them, and the city defense battle completely turned into a white-knuckle battle!
In order to prevent the enemy from continuing to climb the city wall, Long Tianci and other generals joined the battle to block the enemy army regardless of the danger, Long Tianci ran sideways against the city wall, and the double knives in his hands waved quickly, as long as he saw the siege ladder and the grappling hook, he would cut it off with a double knife, but the speed of his destruction was not as fast as the speed of the other party's continued construction, and after cutting a wave, more siege ladders and grappling hooks flew up.
The fierce battle lasted until dusk, and the enemy's offensive was temporarily suppressed under the efforts of Long Tianci and a group of soldiers, but their side also suffered heavy losses, and more than 10,000 soldiers were killed in the fierce battle on the city wall, and the corpses of the soldiers on both sides were piled up all over the city wall, the scene was extremely tragic!
Taking advantage of the short gap when the enemy army organized the next wave of attacks, Long Tianci asked the soldiers to pile up the dead corpses on the side of the city wall, regardless of whether they were friends or enemies, so that these corpses would become sandbags, and if the enemy under the city attacked these corpses again, it would play a good blocking role!
After finishing these, Long Tianci asked the quartermaster to count the inventory of the city defense equipment, and the quartermaster's report made Long Tianci's heart immediately cold, the ash bottle cannon Rolling Wood Thunder Stone stored in the warehouse was about to bottom out, there was still a little ash bottle and cannon left, as for the Rolling Wood Thunder Stone, there was almost no left, in this case, how could they block the enemy's next wave of attack?
Just when Long Tianci was sad, the horn of the enemy's attack came again, this time Hua Yulang was really angry, and even let 100,000 people attack the city wall at the same time, fortunately, the opponent's more than 100,000 catapults were damaged and unusable because of the continuous operation, otherwise it would be impossible to block the attack of the 100,000 army against the attack of the enemy's catapults!
In order to be able to effectively use the remaining city defense equipment, Long Tianci ordered the soldiers to change the way of using the ash bottle cannon, no longer to the city, but to the city wall, the ash bottle is smashed on the city wall after the lime will quickly spread, so that the coverage of the lime will be wider, but there is also a disadvantage to throwing it like this, because it is not far from the top of the city wall, some lime will be blown back to the city wall, and as a result, many soldiers defending the city are also recruited!
Not only the ash bottles were used in this way, but also the cannons, all the cannons were smashed on the city walls, the combustible liquid in the clay pots and porcelain bottles splashed on the city walls, and then they were immediately ignited, and the whole city wall actually burned, and all the siege ladders and grasping locks were burned by the fire, and some enemy soldiers were also ignited, this method was more practical in comparison!
Thanks to the efforts of everyone, the enemy's attack was really suppressed, but the front wall was also burned to the point of smoke, and the temperature in the air increased a lot.
Just when everyone thought that this round of attacks could be withstanded, an accident happened, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and soon a strong wind blew, and then it rained heavily, at this time the city wall has been burned by fire for at least three hours, the bricks and stones are burned red, and suddenly poured cold water, under the physical effect of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the city wall can not hold on, only to hear the city wall make a clattering cracking sound, and then a large number of cracks actually appeared on the city wall, and then the city wall bricks began to fall off, and the city wall that lost its balance collapsed in a series of roars!
Neither side in the battle expected the city wall to collapse, especially the 100,000 enemy troops under the city wall were buried alive by about a third of the city wall before they could even react, and the defending army on the city wall was also buried under the ruins of the city wall!
When the shaking stopped, Long Tianci pushed away a stone brick and drilled out from below, and then looked around blankly, all of this was something he didn't expect, could it be that God didn't help him this time?
On the other side, Hua Yulang reacted immediately after a short period of surprise, and then ordered the whole army to rush forward, and now there is no city wall to block it, and they can directly attack the canyon.
The ship is far away from the hatred of Sun Cha and the secret place of Yangnuo
Seeing the enemy army in the distance rushing over frantically, Long Tianci realized that the situation was not good, so he said loudly: "The eighth, ninth, and thirteenth troops will meet the enemy head-on, and the rest of the troops will be reorganized, and then retreat to the dungeon!"
