Chapter 482: After the Fall of the City (Page 1/1)

The night was like a huge monster devouring everything, but the clusters of flames that lit up the Northern Wei army on the other side illuminated half of the sky unscrupulously.

Bai Yuelu's prediction was not wrong at all, under the double interweaving of firelight and night, with a tight sound of pulling horns, several large boats appeared on the river. The draft of these large ships was very deep, almost flush with the riverbank, and near the riverbank, the bottom of the boats was already rubbing against the underground riverbed, making a screeching sound.

But no one cares, because there is no need to think about the service life of these big ships at all, these big ships just have to play a role tonight.

The Northern Wei army was not good at water warfare, but it seemed to be superior to the Southern Dynasty army in terms of fortifications, and the reason for this was that the Northern Dynasty was more chaotic than the Southern Dynasty in the past hundred years, and their armies fought more, especially the armies of many large nomadic clans were always used to go with the army, including their families, cattle and sheep.

They were often able to march and fight with a lot of burdens that the Southern Korean army found incredible. The Southern Korean army, on the other hand, tended to defend the city and was better at fighting defensive and siege warfare.

When these big ships were forcibly towed to their proper positions, and the large ordnance was rolled onto the decks of these big ships by rolling logs, the ballast water began to be discharged, and the slender Northern Wei soldiers had all gathered on the pontoon bridge or in the shallow water, ready to tow these big ships towards the Jiangxin Island.

"Huha! Huha...."

The sound of a trumpet sounding like a shouting trumpet during field labor kept sounding, full of the wild smell of no one else.

All the fires on the walls of Zhongli City had been completely extinguished, and the absolute darkness was in stark contrast to the fires on and across the river.

Lin Yi still stood silently in the dark, and in Zhongli City behind him, not to mention the soldiers who were already exhausted, even the women and children who were trapped in it before they had time to leave the city had already taken action.

Zhong Licheng said that it was not big, and it was not small to say, although he didn't know what kind of arrangement Wang Chaozong and Qi Zhuji would make, but at least a large number of thorn trees were set up behind the city wall like a forest.

It should be worried that the opponent's catapult will throw burning things, and the waterwheels and water dragons of the city's rescue club have all gathered.

A large number of ordnance from the city's storehouses were also constantly being delivered, and all the horses were stripped of their iron hooves and wrapped in thick cotton cloth.

All the people in the city no longer think about whether these horses will be seriously ill in the future, and they only think about whether they will survive tonight.

Lin Yi's mood had completely calmed down at this time.

He was born in Jiangmen, and since he was a child, he has seen generals and veterans the most, but until this time, he seems to breathe and share the same fate with those soldiers who have been fighting at the border.

Staying in Jiankang City for the longest time, he was accustomed to seeing the long-sleeved dancing of his classmates, and saw the selfishness of those powerful people, even on the battlefield, he also saw the cowardice of many Southern Dynasty troops.

However, he still has Qi Zhuji and Xiao Suxin's partners, and now the ordinary soldiers in this city, those illegal salt dealers, those ordinary women and children... But it still made him see the bravery of the people of the Southern Dynasties.

It was rumored that the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty was so brave, but he did not think that the people of the Southern Dynasty were inferior.

The bravery of these Southern Dynasty people still makes him proud that he was born and grew up in the Southern Dynasty.

......

"After the walls are broken, when their cultivators and cavalry begin to charge the city in earnest, you still have to be at the forefront. ”

Jian Wenhou didn't know when he came to his side, and said softly and seriously, "I don't care what they can arrange behind this city wall, but after the city wall is broken, it is not the previous battle where the pontoon bridge was blocked, and the limited Northern Wei soldiers were able to enter the city, no matter how powerful their arrangement is, even if they can kill thousands of people in an instant, it will be a matter of an instant to be crushed." ”

"You probably haven't experienced a battle where tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers and cultivators charged together, but I've experienced a lot, I've seen many elite troops with thousands of people being overwhelmed in an instant. After a tenfold difference in military strength, the enemy army is like a river bursting a river, and unless there is a mainstay that blocks a large number of enemy forces, it is possible to hold out for some time. ”

Jian Wenhou slowly continued: "I don't know what kind of exercises He Xiu taught you, but I can be sure that you are more energetic now than before you woke up, and you may have no problem continuing to fight all night, as long as you can live." ”

"The number of cultivators in this kind of alliance will be greater than the number of cultivators in the border army, but no matter what kind of army it is, the number of cultivators in the Divine Mind Realm will not be large after all. Fortunately, you are strong enough, and it should be difficult for the cultivators of the Chengtian Realm to make it difficult for you to get injured, so I only need to concentrate on dealing with some extremely powerful outliers among the cultivators of the Divine Mind Realm and the cultivators of the Chengtian Realm, if nothing else, I can accompany you in the battle for a long time. ”

"The longer you live, the more they won't kill you, the more hatred you will attract, the center of gravity of this army will shift in favor of you and me, and many of them will even forget that their real purpose is to storm and occupy this city. In this way, if the people of your Sword Pavilion can come a little earlier than expected, then maybe a miracle will happen. ”

Lin Yi listened carefully, he didn't dare to miss a word.

When Jian Wenhou stopped talking to him, he nodded, and then said, "Senior, you value the Sword Pavilion so much, do you think our Sword Pavilion is very powerful?"

The reason why he asked like this was because in the eyes of the vast majority of people in the Southern Dynasty, the Sword Pavilion was already old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were all negligible old decay, even those generals of the royal family and the Zhongzhou Army thought so.

"People will think so, I don't think so. ”

Jian Wenhou smiled sarcastically, "If the Sword Pavilion is so easy to deal with, do I still need to wait until this time to fight side by side with you here?" I would have already gone over and killed you with a sword." ”

Lin Yi couldn't help laughing.

He was the master of the Sword Pavilion at this time, and some people really felt that the Sword Pavilion was powerful, and of course he was a little proud and happy.

......

The night is getting thicker and thicker, but there are more and more fires on Jiang Xinzhou.

The military advisor of Xi Ruyu in the army arrived at the edge of Jiang Xinzhou.

His feet sank into the soft and wet dirt.

A large ship had been towed and stranded at his side, and the two massive catapults on the ship were above the city walls, illuminated by the fire like two monsters.

He was at peace, but he didn't want to waste time.

He didn't look at anyone on the ship, reached out and clenched his fist, and swung it up.

A terrible military order suddenly sounded on the ship.

Knock!

Two sounds like muffled thunder sounded at the same time.

The bow of the big ship looked miserable and slammed into the mud on the shallows, splashing countless waves of mud.

The two canopy waves and vibrations made the Northern Wei sergeants on the deck a little unstable, and there was a feeling that standing on the edge of the cliff was like jumping a mountain.

This is where the name of the catapult comes from.

Two huge black shadows flew into the air with a terrifying whistling sound, and then fell fiercely!

This is just a test launch of a catapult, but this palpitating sound already means that this war has begun!
