Looking at Zhao Yun's heroic appearance, Liu Xiang was amazed. What does it mean to show off one's strength and show off one's power?
You can easily kill the enemy at your fingertips, and the speed of killing is faster than the speed of applause.
When Zhao Yun killed the first enemy general, there were cheers and cheers everywhere. Liu Xiang just wanted to beat the drum to help, but the second one died. Before the cheers could stop, the third one also died. It was too fast.
So neat.
So shocking!
It was the first time he saw a single-horse warrior, and he met a fierce man like Zhao Yun. He killed enemies and generals with ease, which was so amazing that he didn't even have time to think of words to praise him.
I just feel that such a fierce general is lucky to be on my side, otherwise I would be unlucky.
It's not that he has never seen powerful generals, but fighting generals in front of the formation is extremely rare, not to mention rare in a hundred years. It is really shocking. No wonder there is a tradition of becoming a master in the Spring and Autumn Period. This is really useful.
Therefore, existence is reasonable.
The morale of our army skyrocketed.
The enemy's morale dropped visibly.
The Zhuo County officials at the city tower were completely silent. There was no one making any noise. Those who clamored to leave the city wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground.
The defenders on the city wall all looked pale.
The worst thing was that the five hundred infantrymen who left the city were so guilty that they gulped down their saliva, their hands and feet were weak, and they could not advance or retreat.
Zhao Yun's intention was still unfinished, and he shouted loudly: "There is no one in Zhuo County, and we are as timid as mice. Are there any brave men who can go out of the city to fight?"
This happened again and again, but no one from the Zhuoxian garrison dared to respond. Zhao Yun laughed loudly, raised his horse's pole high, and circled the horse back to the formation.
The officers and soldiers of the Anping Army cheered loudly: "The captain is mighty!"
Zhao Yun led his troops back to the formation, came to Liu Xiang, raised his hands and saluted: "I will surrender my order at the end."
"With his own strength, he silenced the entire enemy city. Zilong's bravery is unparalleled in the world."
"It all depends on my lord's appreciation, Yun, so that I can be useful."
Liu Xiang couldn't help but laugh out loud. I'm very pleased with Zhao Yun's flattery. So, flattery doesn't depend on the words spoken, it depends on who is doing the flattery.
Hold it back, hold it back, don’t get carried away, you have to pay attention to your image. Reminding himself in his mind, Liu Xiang changed the subject, pointed at the Zhuoxian infantry who were slowly retreating, preparing to cross the suspension bridge, and said: "Zilong, do your best again.
, lead the knights out into battle, and if Zhuoxian opens the city gates, they will rush into the city; if they close the gates and refuse to accept them, they will be forced to surrender."
There was little chance of directly seizing the city gate. Liu Xiang's purpose was to force the infantry outside the city to surrender.
If these five hundred infantry could be forced to surrender under the city, it would be a huge blow to the morale of the defenders, and the Zhuoxian soldiers would definitely be even more depressed.
Zhao Yun responded to the order and went out into battle again with more than a thousand armored cavalry.
Seeing the cavalry approaching, looking ready to charge, the gates of Zhuoxian City were immediately closed.
The infantry who were preparing to return to the city were dumbfounded. They were abandoned so decisively. Didn't you even hesitate? You will lose me, do you know?
These five hundred infantrymen first lost their leader in battle and were abandoned by their friendly forces. They were so angry that they cursed and knocked on the city gate frantically, trying to enter the city. The only response they received was the order from the people on the city: "Form up behind the city.
Guard the city gate."
Zhuoxian closed the city gates tightly and pulled up the suspension bridge. Unfortunately, eight dams had been filled in on the eastern moat yesterday. They were all wide roads that could pass siege equipment. There was no obstacle to the sudden cavalry charge.
Of course, Liu Xiang would not let Xiaoqi rush to the city and get beaten. They just put on a show and forced the defenders to close the city gate.
The real attack was made by the crossbowmen of the Shesheng Battalion. A thousand crossbowmen pushed the carts closer, bringing the 500 infantry outside the city into range, and started throwing crossbow bolts from a distance of 140 steps. Such a long distance
, the killing efficiency is certainly not high, but the enemy can only be beaten and cannot fight back, which is very damaging to morale.
Not to mention that these infantry can't hit them, the archers on the city can't shoot so far either.
Just use the range of the crossbow to bully people.
What's even more bullying is that the crossbowman fired back while shouting: "Come over quickly and surrender. Surrender without killing."
Not only do people need to surrender, they also need to take the initiative to surrender.
Not so bullying.
The beaten infantry couldn't bear it anymore. They were very angry and quickly rushed across the embankment and surrendered.
They rushed out very quickly. They had to hurry up. Seeing that they were about to cross the river and surrender, the officers on the city had given orders to shoot them.
The friendly troops were abandoned outside the door and ordered to shoot their own people. This behavior made the defenders on the city wall have no intention to fight. The grief and anger aroused by Wen Shu's assassination, after successive blows, the defenders
Morale is extremely low.
They were at a loss and extremely war-weary.
The fighter planes had arrived, the siege equipment was in place, and Liu Xiang ordered the siege.
The first to be launched was the seven-shooter cannon. As soon as the stone bullets appeared in the sky, the defenders who had been beaten immediately withdrew the city wall. They were quite decisive and did not look as stubborn as yesterday.
Taking advantage of the gap between the seven-shooter artillery to suppress the defenders, the well gate, the ladder, and the collision vehicle quickly approached the city wall.
Jing Lan stopped next to the moat, and shot the defenders who returned to the city wall from a distance of more than ten feet.
The ladder went directly up to the city wall, then the car turned a corner and was pushed to the city gate. It continued its fate with the city gate last night and made a clanging sound when it hit the city gate.
The chariot did not dig into the wall, but stopped near the ladder to provide shelter for the siege troops.
At this time, the seven-shot artillery had switched to thirty kilograms of stone bullets, and no longer hit the city. Instead, they threw stones into the city in an attempt to attack the defensive equipment in the city. The main reason was that they were afraid of hitting their own people, and they didn't want to be idle anyway.
There are too many stone bullets to use up. What if they hit the enemies gathered behind the city wall? That's a profit.
The Anping Army attacked from three sides, the north and south sides were still in a stalemate, and the east side had already attacked the city wall.
The morale of the defenders in the east city was low, and the resistance was not fierce. Under the suppression of the crossbowmen, not many people returned to the city wall. When the infantry from the guard camp rushed to the city wall, they thought for a while and retreated into the city. Most of them
The troops fled.
The city gate was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and Liu Xiang climbed up to the city tower, looking at the antlers on the main road, the barracks at various street corners, the watchtowers built on the roofs, and the vague, unknown number of defenders.
If we can coordinate the arrangements and coordinate with each other, this will be a meat grinder, a millstone of flesh and blood, but now, it is just the last struggle of stragglers.
"Support the north and south sides and completely seize the city wall."
As soon as the reinforcements arrived, the city was attacked from both sides, and the defenders on the north and south sides quickly retreated into the city. Soon, the west wall was also captured.
The damage to both the enemy and our troops was not serious, and the defenders were determined to engage in street fighting.
Liu Xiang was in no hurry to advance his troops, as it was already late afternoon.
"Arrange the soldiers to take turns to eat, each unit defends the city wall, and repairs it on the spot."
Liu Xiang was waiting, waiting for his soldiers to recover their strength, waiting for night to come, and waiting for the defender's weaknesses to be exposed.
The Zhuoxian garrison had a large number of people, but also many weaknesses. It lacked combat equipment, training, and generals, and its command was chaotic. The private soldiers of each department were not under each other's control, and they all relied on Wen Shu to coordinate with one person.
Now, Wen Shu is dead and his morale is low. When night falls, most of the defenders are night blind.
Assassinate the commander, suppress morale, and occupy the city wall.
Liu Xiang had peeled off their shells layer by layer, waiting for them to reveal their fatal weaknesses, and then sent out his veterans to eat them one by one.
