"Let me go!" Bai Qi said in an indifferent voice while riding on a tall war horse, holding the sword in his arms.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
Flying stones and kerosene continued to fall, and countless archers were shooting arrows at the top of the city above the well.
On the Chang'an city wall, countless soldiers were wailing. Those Sui soldiers who were hit by boulders and killed by arrows were fine. But those soldiers who were poured with kerosene were unlucky and were burned by the fire.
The feeling of dying is definitely not a good feeling.
On the city wall, burning men were running around, but they could only die in mourning. Moreover, if the soldiers close to them were unlucky, they would be touched by the flames of their companions. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would not die.
I'll be left with bruises all over my body.
"Fight back, fight back!" the deputy general assigned by Yang Lin roared loudly.
Yang Jian had hoarded a lot of catapults, crossbows and other defensive equipment for the city. Moreover, the Sui army attacked from a high position. In this regard, they took advantage of it.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
The Sui army's catapults also launched a fierce attack, roaring towards Bai Qi's catapults and Jinglan phalanx. However, the effect produced was not obvious.
To successfully destroy a catapult of the Jin army, at least a few huge rocks are often needed. As for kerosene, under normal circumstances, it is indeed very effective for catapults and wooden products such as wells.
However, you must not ignore the wisdom of the ancients. Catapults and wells are made using some simple fire prevention techniques. Therefore, it will take some time to completely destroy a catapult or well.
Within this period of time, it was enough for the Jin soldiers to extinguish the flames with sand and soil.
What's more, although some siege equipment was lost in the attack of the Sui army, Bai Qi did not care. These siege equipment were being continuously manufactured in the rear, and they would be continuously replenished.
"Go there, keep firing!" Bai Qi watched the situation on the city wall from a distance, asking the soldiers to change the direction of the attack from time to time, in order to achieve the maximum degree of damage.
Chang'an is a fortified city, but it is not that easy to capture. The goal of Li Xiang's attack in the first three days was to use this method to consume the enemy's troops. After three days, they would launch a strong attack.
"ah……"
Another soldier of the Sui Army who was relatively unlucky was affected by the kerosene and his body was ignited by flames. However, he could not put it out and could only roll on the ground in pain.
When other Sui soldiers around saw this, they immediately poured the sand from their backs directly onto the soldiers, and also used sand to extinguish the fire.
However, after other Sui soldiers successfully extinguished the flames, the soldier affected by the kerosene had already been burned to a terrible extent. Looking at him, even if he did not die immediately, he might not survive the night.
.
Looking at the miserable situation of the Sui army on the city wall, Bai Qi couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. In just a short time, he had killed at least thousands of enemy soldiers.
If we can really maintain this efficiency, if we bombard like this for three days, by the time I officially attack the city three days later, the Sui army will be almost done.
Although he didn't know why the enemy's command on the city wall was so chaotic, Bai Qi was never willing to let go of such a good opportunity. He immediately commanded the catapults and archers to further strengthen the attack, taking advantage of the opportunity to maximize the destruction of the enemy's troops.
.
Speaking of which, Bai Qi was really lucky, and he happened to launch an attack while Yang Lin was away. Now, on the city wall, only a deputy general who Yang Lin ordered before leaving was in command. This deputy general was under Bai Qi's attack
The left and right were helpless, and the command was completely confused. Only then did Bai Qi take advantage of him.
Otherwise, if Yang Lin is present, perhaps Yang Lin's commanding ability is still far inferior to Bai Qi, but he can definitely command the soldiers on the city to defend in an orderly manner, so that it will not be chaotic like now.
.
"Command the catapults and archers to continue suppressing the enemy!"
"General Fu, you immediately lead a battalion of soldiers to fill in the moat!" Bai Qi ordered to Fu Cunshen on the side.
In these three days, in addition to using siege equipment to reduce the enemy's physical strength as much as possible, the Jin army also had another task, which was to fill in the moat of Chang'an City in these three days.
Fu Cunshen was the ninth of the Thirteen Taibao. He assisted Li Keyong and Li Cunxu, the two Jin kings. He defeated Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji in the north and Liang Taizu Zhu Wen in the south. He fought in more than a hundred battles without any defeat.
In his early years, Fu Cunshen conquered Helianduo, Li Kuangchou, Wang Xingyu and other vassal forces, and captured Fenzhou, Luzhou and other places. He established great military exploits for Li Keyong, Li Cunxu and his son to consolidate the Hedong base.
In a series of Liang-Jin wars for hegemony such as the Battle of Youzhou, the Battle of Weizhou, the Defense of Youzhou, the Battle of Huliupi, and the Battle of Tongzhou, he repeatedly defeated the Liang army with a smaller number and defeated a larger one, and also defeated the Khitan with infantry.
The cavalry army assisted the Jin army in seizing key points in the Hebei area and along the Yellow River, and later quelled the rebellion of the Chengde army in Zhenzhou, laying the foundation for Li Cunxu to destroy the Liang Dynasty and establish the Tang Dynasty.
Fu Cunshen's commanding ability has also reached peerless level, and it is not just as simple as joining for the first time, he is a rare general. In this life, he was also implanted as Li Keyong's adopted son, but he was not
If you change the surname to Li, you will still use the surname Fu.
"General, take your orders!" A firm and powerful voice was heard. A tall and thin young general, wearing silver-white armor, took a step forward.
"Take off your armor and put on soldier's clothes!" Bai Qi reminded him.
Bai Qi and Fu Cunshen have been working under Li Xiang for several years, and they have had some contact with each other. Bai Qi still admires Fu Cunshen's ability, and he can be regarded as a general.
If Fu Cunshen can successfully fill in the moat and lay the foundation for the subsequent siege, he will certainly be able to make a great contribution.
However, filling in the moat is not easy to do. If you are not careful, you may be killed by a stray arrow on the city wall.
Especially the dazzling armor on Fu Cunshen will definitely become a target for the enemy. Bai Qi does not want such an excellent general to die in vain on the battlefield.
"General, don't worry, I won't have to worry about it!" Fu Cunzhen turned around and replied with a smile.
Fu Cunshen also understood that when he put on such silver armor, he looked like a general. Later in the process of filling in the moat, if he entered the enemy's range, he would inevitably be hit hard by others. Therefore,
It is imperative to change into something more low-key.
