Eight hundred and eighty-fourth chapter turtle in the urn
Arrows rained down like rain, and the Dangxiang people climbed up bravely, while the Song army rolled stones and trees, and there were also burning hot oil and lead water. The Dangxiang people who attacked the city screamed in pain, and screamed miserably from mid-air.
Fall down.
This is the real millstone of flesh and blood. The contest between the two sides is not only a competition of courage and combat power, but also a war of attrition for human lives.
The Dangxiang infantry who had climbed onto the city wall howled like beasts and rushed towards the Song army. The Dangxiang soldiers who had the numerical advantage finally climbed onto the wall of Wengcheng.
The Huaiyuan army used the oar shield as a screen and held long spears behind the shield to strangle the party members attacking the city. In front of the huge shield, it was difficult to break through with swords, guns, swords and halberds, but the spears thrust out quickly from the gaps in the shield could easily take away the lives of the party members.
.
But not only did some party members climb up the wall of Wengcheng, the war began to fall into a stalemate. The Western Lieutenants on the horse wall kept firing crossbows but did not dare to greet the Wengcheng.
The attack on Wengcheng had already caused heavy losses to the party members. The first thing Li Yuanhao did after successfully ascending to Wengcheng was not to counterattack immediately, but to continuously gather soldiers on Wengcheng to gain a foothold.
The crossbows of the party members suppressed the Xi Lie army behind the horse-faced wall, and Li Yuanhao took this opportunity to command the soldiers to launch a counterattack against the Song army. His goal was very simple. He used the connection between the Wengcheng and the main city to lead his troops to kill and open the main city.
The gate of the city.
While Li Yuanhao ordered his soldiers to rush into the main city, he led his troops to open the gate of Wengcheng with great effort, so that the army could invade the Wengcheng at once.
If he used troops like this in the past, he would be asking for death, but it was different now. Li Yuanhao believed that Dangxiang's army had already occupied the walls of Wengcheng, and the Song army had no time to launch an attack on Dangxiang's army in Wengcheng.
In a sense, the Wengcheng of Liangzhou City has been captured by the Party Xiang. Next, as long as the main city of the Song Army is defeated, Liangzhou City can be taken down in one go!
As the party's army poured into Wengcheng, the pressure on the main city's defenses increased. Fortunately, the main city was higher than Wengcheng. There were only two places connected together. It was not easy to climb from Wengcheng to the main city.
The ancients had already put a lot of effort into offensive and defensive battles, and Ye An was well prepared for the attack on Wengcheng itself. Pei Chengwen, as the general judge of Liangzhou Prefecture, had gone back and forth several times and was even more anxious than Chen Lin.
He is mainly responsible for the security and stability of the city. He leads the government officials to enforce the curfew to prevent the party members from breaking through the city wall, and there will be unrest in the city. At the same time, he also has people set up listening urns to prevent the party members from making a surprise attack on the city through the tunnels.
.
Guan Wanshan came in a hurry, pulled Pei Chengwen to the side and said to Ye An: "Qin Qianzhi, Wengcheng has been occupied by the Dangxiang people, the general will order the Huaiyuan Army to rush to the city wall, and the brothers of the Western Lie Army will be waiting behind.
, I don’t know when it will be rotated?”
Looking at the battle on the city wall from top to bottom, Ye An nodded slightly and said: "There will be a rotation every half an hour. Remember not to fight to the death without retreating. Use the terrain and the advantages of equipment to kill the enemy to the greatest extent."
If you are thinking of counterattack, as long as the main city gate is not lost, there is no need to worry."
"The general will get the order!"
Although she didn't understand why Ye An wanted to trap the enemy in the urn city, Chen Lin still felt that being able to command so calmly on the battlefield had surpassed many civil servants and generals.
The most important thing is that the person leading the army on the opposite side is Li Deming, the leader of Daxia. This figure who was called a traitor by Song and Liao is not easy to deal with.
"Wang Gang, are the trebuchets ready?"
"Your Majesty, we are ready. The twelve machines have been settled at the positions we measured. When will we start?"
Wang Bang is no longer the steward of the Hou Mansion who can only run errands. After so many years of experience, he can be regarded as a mature logistics officer on the battlefield.
Seeing the excitement on Ye An's face, Chen Lin even felt a little scared. There were many party troops in Wengcheng. He finally understood why Ye An wanted to control the number of civil servants so small.
Once those wooden barrels filled with kerosene are thrown into the urn city, it only takes one round of rockets to turn the small urn city into a sea of fire. How many party soldiers will be burned to death?!
But Ye An did not order to take action now, but kept observing. In his opinion, the crowd density was not high enough, and it was not time for massacre.
"Why don't you give the order?"
Chen Lin was a little dissatisfied. In his opinion, the opportunity on the battlefield was fleeting, so how could there be a moment of delay?
Ye Fangfang ignored Chen Lin's words and just asked Tieniu to play the banner again and again: "Let Guan Wanshan lead the army to withstand it, and it will be delayed for another half an hour!"
"Order the Western Lie Army to prepare gunpowder bombs! If the party members gather in large numbers to climb the city, they will be killed with gunpowder bombs!"
"Send the order to Zhao Hu, and get ready to attack with swords and swords!"
The red flag waved, and the elite of the Xi Lie Army began to prepare. Hundreds of people put on thick infantry armor. The armor with the highest defense in this era was enough to withstand the swords and axes of the Party members. It was even improved and strengthened.
After installing the cotton lining, it has a certain resistance to even blunt objects.
The only drawback is that it is thicker and can only be worn by the strongest soldiers. The infantry armor is equipped with a huge saber, which is difficult to wield without a certain amount of physical strength.
Party soldiers mostly wore leather armor, and this light armor was unable to withstand the attack of the saber.
As the war drums emitted bursts of powerful rhythm, the Song army's military formation on the city wall suddenly paused, and then the oars and shields dispersed, and a pair of soldiers wearing pitch-black armor like a pagoda appeared.
Once the huge sword is turned around, no external force is required, and it can easily kill the enemy simply by relying on inertia. The party members' swords will only leave light white marks on the armor.
The powerful force cut off the sword of the party member, and the slashing sword disemboweled him. This is a special hundred-smelted steel sword produced by Puhui Company. It has been forged countless times to remove impurities and then add soft
Metal.
The face pockets were put down, and the party members couldn't even see the faces of Xi Liejun. They could only see pairs of eyes protruding from the face pockets. Some face pockets were even painted with ferocious patterns, or like ghosts.
Or like a wild beast.
This psychologically and physically intimidating elite team completely defeated the party members on the Wengcheng. Some people even jumped off the city wall and did not dare to face the steel behemoth-like soldiers of the Western Lie Army.
Li Yuanhao slashed Bu Renjia's body with a knife, but the powerful force did not break the armor but made his hand numb, and he almost couldn't hold the steel knife in his hand.
Seeing that his prince was about to die, Li Yuanhao's soldiers risked their lives to stop him. The sharp sword slashed across his body, and the warm blood spurted from the broken arm splashed across Li Yuanhao's face, making him wake up.
.
"Remove the barbican!"
The terrain here is narrow, and the Song army can easily slaughter the Dangxiang army with the help of infantry armor and swords, but the Dangxiang army cannot take advantage of its numerical advantage and powerful combat capabilities.
The only way is to knock Bu Renjia down by attacking its lower wall, and then assassinate the Song army from the gap. However, the efficiency of this is too slow and cannot keep up with the slaughter of Bu Renjia.
The only way is to evacuate the city wall, but this has a fatal problem. Once the party troops on the Wengcheng evacuate, the army in the Wengcheng will really become a turtle in the urn...
