Chang Yuchun is a top warrior, but just being brave and invincible is not enough to be famous all over the world. Because those who only know how to fight fiercely will definitely not survive a few battles, and even if they are lucky, it will be difficult to rise to a high position.
There is a clear record in history of Chang Yuchun using Lu Gong's car to break the city. Obviously, this is a brave and resourceful man. Of course, most people pay more attention to Chang Yuchun's ferocity, which is reasonable. After all, he is
Really awesome.
But when you need to use your brain, Chang Yuchun is not bad either.
He pressed the long knife with his hand and watched as the walls of carriages were connected and the trebuchets entered the fighting position. However, there was no movement in the city. They closed their eyes and waited for the hammer. Chang Yuchun couldn't help but shake his head.
Is there any reason to stick to it?
At least send a few people to harass you so that I can see your background!
Seeing that there was no movement in the city, Chang Yuchun was still a little uneasy...
This man in the city is either a military wizard who is more powerful than himself, or he is a fat pig with no use and only knows how to get beaten... No, he is not even as good as a pig. After all, the pig's wisdom can still give you a bite.
!
"How much ability you have, you will soon find out!"
"Let go!" Chang Yuchun ordered decisively, and the Zhu Jiajun's trebuchets began to show their power.
To be honest, this kind of battle is boring. It's nothing more than the constant firing of stone bullets, projectiles weighing 150 kilograms, constantly crossing beautiful arcs, hitting the city wall, or hitting the city walls. Occasionally, they also cross the city wall.
The ones that fell inside were only a very small number.
The city wall in front of you is made of rammed earth and covered with bricks and stones. From the current point of view, it is considered a quite solid city.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Zhen has the capital to close her eyes and seek a hammer.
But the city soon noticed something unusual.
Zhu Jiajun's trebuchet was so powerful that every time it landed on the city wall, it would cause a violent shaking feeling, as if the ground beneath his feet was churning.
Not only that, many of the green bricks covering the outside were cracked and even fell down.
Half of the city tower was also destroyed by a stone bullet, and the ruins were horrifying.
Lu Zhen was terrified. It was obvious that Zhu Jiajun's trebuchets were more powerful than the Yuan army's returning artillery. If the attack continued like this, there would be a time when the Jiangyin city wall could no longer withstand it.
What to do?
Should I ask King Cheng for tactical guidance?
While Lu Zhen was hesitating, suddenly Zhu Jiajun's trebuchet stopped.
The soldiers responsible for the observation hurriedly reported to Lu Zhen that Zhu's army sent out siege troops and horses to kill them.
Lu Zhen was startled and quickly ordered the soldiers hiding under the city wall to rush to the city. After receiving the order, some of these people rushed to the city, and some carried crossbows and stones to prepare to attack Zhu's army.
But when they rushed up, they found a surprising scene. The Zhu Jiajun did not attack the city at all, but pushed out many wheelbarrows from the Zhu Jiajun team.
These wheelbarrows are tied with sacks and bamboo baskets, filled with rocks, sand and soil.
Zhu Jiajun's soldiers rushed to the moat as fast as possible, pushed the car in, and quickly turned around and ran away.
Wheelbarrows filled with sand and gravel are very effective. Only a dozen of them are needed to fill a large area.
The soldiers who followed also carried poles and filled the empty spaces with bags of sand, and then quickly retreated. After just one round, a quarter of the moat was filled.
Zhu Jiajun's tactics were finally revealed.
Using trebuchets as cover, they bombarded the city head and took advantage of the defenders' chances of avoiding the trebuchets to quickly fill in the moat.
This tactic is definitely not magical, and it is even a little bit simple. But it is just so simple, leaving Lu Zhen helpless.
First of all, he had no way to deal with Zhu Jiajun's trebuchets. Secondly, he couldn't let the soldiers run to the city and shoot at Zhu Jiajun despite the threat of stone bullets.
In short, there will definitely be such a small time difference.
What Chang Yuchun focused on was this little time difference. If he had the means, he would go. If he had no other means, he would just keep going and let me get closer to the city little by little.
Lu Zhen was really helpless and kept repeating this process throughout the day. Lu Zhen was not without struggles. For example, he asked the soldiers to prepare some crossbows on the city without tearing them down. When Zhu Jiajun's trebuchet stopped, they immediately went up
, pick it up and shoot hard.
But what Lu Zhen didn't expect was that Zhu Jiajun not only had stone bullets, but also gunpowder bags and even fire oil.
These things, mixed with stone bullets, were blasted into the city. Not only were the walls set on fire, but because the gunpowder packets were light in weight and had a long range, they could even cross the city wall and fall into the city, exploding and igniting fires.
Lu Zhen was made to lose her temper, so she had to arrange for a water tanker to be on alert at all times.
Just like this, one day passed, and most of the moat had been filled.
Looking at this trend, we are not far away from completely filling the moat.
Lu Zhen was frightened. He felt that the matter was not that simple. If it was just an ordinary siege, there would be no need to fill the road so wide.
Moreover, a wheelbarrow was used, and the roadbed was very strong, so large siege equipment, such as goose carts, crash carts, shield carts, etc., could get close to the city wall.
Then there was the terrible hand-to-hand combat. They suffered a lot of losses in Gaoyou City.
We must send people to fight out and destroy the road paved by Zhu's army.
I had led troops out of the city back then, and there were no problems.
"Pass my order. Anyone who is willing to go out to fight in the city will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver! In addition, in addition... he will be promoted to the third level!"
Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.
Sure enough, three hundred warriors were selected from the city.
Lu Zhen held a bowl of wine and said to everyone: "Brothers, at the beginning, I followed the order of King Cheng and went out of the city to kill the Yuan army, and that's why we are today. You...work hard!"
Lu Zhen drank a bowl of wine with the others and left in a hurry.
Three hundred people wrapped in leather armor and holding sharp knives descended from the city wall... They moved very lightly for fear of alarming Zhu's army. After coming down, they waded across the moat and were ready to take action.
But at this moment, there suddenly appeared a vast expanse of white things. When they were about thirty steps away, these things started to scream!
It's a flock of geese!
It turned out that Zhu Jiajun drove the geese to the filled area after dusk and asked them to act as a guard.
When he heard the squawk of the goose, Wang Bi, wearing armor, jumped up and rushed out with a long sword in hand.
The soldiers on guard quickly jumped into the fighting position, with crossbows and gunpowder packets all attacking in the direction of the geese. Before the three hundred warriors who sneaked in the attack had time to react, they were beaten until their parents screamed, and their bodies were in a mess.
, extremely miserable.
As for the Zhu Jiajun, only more than 20 geese were injured and sacrificed in the battle. Wang Bi said, we suffered heavy losses!
After the sneak attack failed, Lu Zhen was stunned for a long time... What happened? Back in Gaoyou, I tried all kinds of methods, but why didn't they work?
This group of people is so much worse than them.
When the sky lightened up and the siege battle resumed, the soldiers in the city suddenly discovered that the passage created by Zhu Jiajun was wider and farther. Not only that, there was an extra layer of wooden planks on it!
It turned out that Zhu Jiajun took advantage of last night's pursuit and sneak attack on the soldiers and horses to decisively fill in the moat.
Today, a flat road leading directly to Jiangyin City Wall has been opened.
Lu Zhen was frightened. When he looked behind the wall of Zhu Jiajun's car, he suddenly swayed and almost fell down!
It turned out that Zhu Jiajun had moved several behemoths in the evening, and they were listed in front of him.
Judging from the size of 30 feet long, it is undoubtedly Lu Gong’s car!
Okay, one night, you have to ambush the soldiers and horses in the city, fill in the moat, and move Mr. Lu's car, it's not enough for you!
Chang Yuchun had a proud smile on his face. Thanks to the troops sent from the city for a sneak attack, he was able to take advantage of the chaos and arrange his arrangements. Otherwise, how could he have been silent!
So Lu Zhen wanted to die.
In this case, the city will be destroyed today!
"Take out all the gunpowder packets and beat me hard!"
The Trebuchet team really went all out, and the lead role was about to change soon. They seized every moment and performed to the best of their ability.
On top of the city, flames shot into the sky and smoke filled the air.
Under the violent explosion, bricks flew into the sky.
The defenders in the city were already frightened, heartbroken, and uneasy.
Before the trebuchet was finished, three Lu Gong chariots were pushed out.
More than two feet high, thirty feet high, hundreds of soldiers, and hundreds of oxen... together they formed the largest siege weapon.
Lu Zhen's heart was shattered and she hurriedly ordered, "Use the crossbow and shoot! Load up the rocket!"
He shouted desperately, and the defenders did follow the instructions, but Zhu Jiajun's Lu Gongcha was not that easy to deal with.
Not only was it covered with five layers of cowhide, but the outside of the cowhide was covered with thick mud and iron plates, making it impossible for crossbows to shoot through and rockets to be unable to ignite.
Looking at other methods, they don't seem to work.
I can only watch helplessly...these behemoths are approaching the city wall, and maybe the city will be destroyed in the next second.
Lu Zhen finally gritted her teeth and seemed to remember that he was one of the eighteen poles back then. It is not that easy to seize Jiangyin in my hands!
Lu Zhen mustered up her courage, drew her weapon, raised it high in the air, raised her arms and shouted at the top of her lungs, calling her men, and rushed towards Zhu Jiajun!
Just as Lu's car hit the city wall, the front door opened, and the soldiers inside rushed out and collided with Lu Zhen. In the blink of an eye, several soldiers were injured.
But fortunately, the soldiers who followed decisively took over their positions, and the two sides launched a fierce battle around the city head. Lu Zhen fought hard and gasped for breath. He gradually felt that his chest was on fire, and the knife in his hand became heavier and heavier.
The body is getting weaker and weaker.
Suddenly, a soldier rushed forward. He hurriedly slashed out with a knife, but the person opposite did not dodge or dodge. He used the same posture and at the same time to return the knife. The weapons collided and sparks flew out. Lu Zhen took several steps back.
.
On the opposite side, Zhu Jiajun's eyes were gleaming, as if he had seen prey, and he pounced on him again. This man's ferocity frightened Lu Zhen, as if he had seen his former self... Lu Zhen was afraid and kept retreating, while Wang Bi led his men.
, successfully ascended the city, and then expanded the results, occupied the city wall, and opened the city gate.
"You're all finished before I take action!"
Chang Yuchun was quite disappointed, and then he suddenly remembered a terrible thing. Zhu Jiajun needed to write a summary of the battle. How did he win this battle?
"Except for one unsuccessful sneak attack, the defenders never took the initiative to charge, and they always prepared to be beaten. The slowness of their actions and their inactivity were beyond my expectation..."
