On the eight-gate city wall, there are mostly prepared barbarians and prepared troops. Before the enemy attacks the city wall, ordinary soldiers are enough as a defensive force.
But when the centurion of Mohe boarded, the strength of the defense changed.
The Shenwu Army, which has been recharging its strength, is waiting for the opportunity.
Wearing bright light armor, holding a wild goose feather sword.
The moment the centurion saw his opponent, he knew that he had been hasty!
This group of people is more difficult to deal with than imagined!
Yanling Dao and Jianzhou Waist Dao each have their own strengths.
The wheel is sharp, so the Jianzhou waist sword is naturally better than the Yanling sword. There is little iron in Jianzhou, and most of the soldiers wear leather armor.
So when forging weapons, the first thing to consider is whether it cuts meat quickly or not!
But the Central Plains is different. Not only the sharpness must be considered, but also the strong armor-piercing effect.
Iron armor is not a rare item in the Central Plains!
What this centurion holds in his hand is such an ancestral Jianzhou, which is extremely sharp.
"Kill!" The centurion raised his sword and charged at the ten divine warriors in front.
Everyone in the Shenwu Army immediately raised their shields and said, "Hold!".
The centurion's scimitar made a long slash on the iron shield, and sparks shot out.
However, there was only a deep scratch on the iron shield, but it was not able to injure the Shenwu soldiers at all.
"Stab!" Four gaps were exposed on one side of the five heavy armored infantry, and four spears thrust out from the gaps.
The centurion tried his best to cut off the barrels of two of the spears with his scimitar, but the remaining two spears had already penetrated the centurion's body.
While everyone was dealing with the first one who rushed up the city wall, another centurion followed closely and jumped onto the city wall.
This man's martial arts skills are still above those of the first centurion. He has already reached perfection through physical training. His inner energy is natural and he is expected to open up his meridians. Unfortunately, the Mohe tribe soldiers could not wait for the good news about the two of them.
Ten breaths later, the centurion's head was chopped off and thrown down.
Wearing a black robe, Yi Yi looked mature, tall and tall. Although he was less than thirty years old, he already had a thick beard on his face. After killing the centurion, he climbed up and shouted.
"Kill the enemy general! Wudang Mo Shenggu!"
Seeing that Zhou Jun's resistance was so complete, Heshi Liezhining immediately ordered an attack with slings.
Heshi Liezhining was not Nurhaqi. After surveying Jinyang, he knew that such a strong city would be difficult to capture with their previous methods.
So a group of Zhou craftsmen were immediately recruited to operate the catapult.
After receiving the signal from the horn horn, the Mohe soldiers who originally attacked the city stopped climbing regardless of their casualties.
The twelve large catapults made a loud creaking sound under the operation of the craftsmen. If they were not used for a long time, the connecting parts of the catapults could not move freely, but it was not harmful. Soon the twelve catapults were operated.
Originally, the craftsmen were unwilling to work for foreigners, but He Shiliezhin couldn't stand it and instead used money to attack him!
Any craftsman who is willing to assist will be given one hundred taels of silver per person per day. After conversion, his purchasing power is equivalent to a daily salary of 120,000 yuan.
For these craftsmen who may not earn more than twenty taels a year, ten days may be enough for them to spend a lifetime!
"call!"
Twelve huge stones flew into the sky and went straight to the city wall of Dongzhaomen.
These people are not just dabblers under Nurha Tooth. They are originally craftsmen who maintain and use catapults, and their accuracy is undeniable.
Four of the twelve boulders accurately hit the tower. This was during the first range-finding and aiming test.
These stone bullets weighed more than a thousand kilograms, and once they hit the city wall, they would cause many casualties.
Moreover, the material of the stone bullets is not very tough. After hitting the city wall, it will scatter and break into a large amount of gravel, causing secondary damage.
These four stone bullets prevented the Zhou army on the city wall from being dispersed because they were prepared for the counterattack of the Mohe soldiers. Hundreds of people were directly killed by the stone bullets, and nearly 300 people were lightly or seriously injured.
The casualties from this single blow were already close to those from yesterday.
"The whole army disperses! Avoid the stone bullets! Chen Fei, go and push the catapults out of the city for me!"
When the King of Chu saw the soldiers who suffered heavy casualties, he was also furious. Don't think you are the only ones with slings!
But before Zhou's catapults could arrive, the second and third rounds of stone bullets came one after another, crushing the Zhou army on the wall so hard that they could not lift their heads.
Huang Rong, who was beside Guo Jing, thought about it for a moment and then spoke.
"Your Highness, Brother Jing, if things continue like this, the morale of our army will inevitably be low. It is better to put the Mohe soldiers on the city wall to fight. If the two sides get mixed up, the enemy general will inevitably throw a rat weapon and dare not use a catapult!"
When Chu King Zhu Zhangui heard this, he nodded frequently. Although he had sent people to transport the catapult, it would still take a lot of time until the catapult was transported here, assembled and debugged. During this period, the Mohe army must be resisted.
The offensive, what Huang Rong said is indeed a good method.
"Your Majesty, Madam, is indeed extremely smart. I think this method is worth a try!"
After the rocks were thrown, the Mohe army's offensive stopped, and the Mohe soldiers who had retreated surged up again.
But during the attack, they seemed to feel that the Zhou army's offensive, especially the arrow rain, was not as intensive as before, and they successfully attacked the city wall.
However, the generals in charge, including He Shiliezhining, thought that the catapult just caused huge damage to the Zhou army, so they made the offensive appear smooth and did not think much about it.
Soon, nearly a hundred ladders were set up on the city wall again, and the Mohe soldiers climbed up along the ladders.
Sure enough, the huge stone offensive just now worked, and even the rolling stones and wood on the Zhou army's city wall were reduced a lot.
Soon many Mohe soldiers climbed up the city wall.
But what greeted them was not the success of ascending first, but the siege of the Shenwu Army and the newly formed Jinyang Army.
The Mohe tribe seems to have a lot of ladders, but when you count them in detail, they only number close to a hundred.
All the soldiers of the Shenwu Army and the Jinyang Army, in groups of three to five, blocked the side of the ladder. Once a Mohe soldier climbed up the city wall from the ladder, they immediately stepped forward to surround and kill them with the advantage of their numbers, forming a localized force of more and less.
situation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This strategy was formulated by Yu Yanyi when he simulated an offensive and defensive battle before, and was later perfected and strengthened by Guo Jing.
Guo Jing was the inheritor of the art of war from King Wumu of the former Song Dynasty and was familiar with Yue's books. King Wumu also liked similar tactics when using foot against cavalry, so Guo Jing quickly completed the improvement of the tactics.
This kind of city defense tactics first appeared in this city defense battle and played a huge role.
However, the Mohe soldiers below the city did not sense the murderous intention on the city, and continued to climb up the city wall along the ladder.
At the beginning, Heshi Liezhining was not aware of it, but he was satisfied with such a smooth offensive. The most difficult part of the siege was climbing the city wall.
Once you get into a battle for the city wall, it means you are not far from being breached.
Like yesterday, the real despair is to be able to climb the city wall after fighting for a whole day.
As the Mohe soldiers rushed up the ladder one by one, like a mud cow entering the sea, without making any waves, Heshi Liezhining quickly realized that something seemed wrong. After all, he was a veteran on the battlefield, so he still had this vigilance.
No matter how many people there are, the Zhou army at Dongzhaomen cannot kill them one by one.
Looking at the anxious battle on the distant city wall, Heshi Liezhining's eyes flashed sharply. Now the Mohe soldiers and the Zhou army were stuck together. Although the Mohe soldiers could not withdraw, the Zhou army could not escape either!
If you use flying stones to attack again at this time, it will certainly cause losses to your own soldiers, but it will also cause huge damage to Zhou's soldiers.
Compassion does not command troops, such an opportunity cannot be missed!
"Send the order and let the catapults continue to attack!"
"General, our people are still on the city wall!"
"Huh?!" Heshi Liezhining took a deep look at the commander who spoke, and the man knew that he shouldn't ask this!
"Liushi Nian, Torres, you are my vanguard and brave generals. After I attack the city wall with a catapult, you personally lead me to kill. You must climb the city to defeat the enemy!"
"Got the order!"
With everything ready, six giant stone bullets soared into the sky again.
This time the catapult was not released at once. In order to maintain the continuity of the stone projectiles, the general who operated the catapult specially divided the launch of the catapult into two batches.
Three of the first six stone bullets hit the city wall, causing many casualties among the Mohe soldiers. However, due to the formation of the Zhou army, the number of casualties was several times that of the Mohe soldiers.
It has to be said that Heshi Liezhining is indeed a talented general and ruthless.
When the King of Chu saw this scene, his teeth were about to burst.
The Zhou army was originally much smaller in number than the Mohe army. It was only a matter of time before the city was destroyed by such casualties.
Just when the King of Chu roared and ordered to disperse, he did not notice that a huge stone was being thrown towards him.
Although he didn't notice it, someone had already noticed it.
A warrior in the Dongxuan Realm with a keen spiritual sense, Guo Jing, who was commanding, turned around on a whim and saw a stone bullet flying from a distance, aiming directly at the King of Chu.
The King of Chu was the chief general of the Dongzhao Clan and the legitimate son of the Emperor.
If casualties were caused by the enemy's slings, this would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the morale of the entire Jinyang City defenders.
Looking at the huge boulder flying close to him, Guo Jing felt a surge of pride in his heart.
During the movement, he came to the presence of Chu King Zhu Zhangui and others.
"Your Highness, get out of the way!"
When Huang Rong saw this scene, she had a very bad premonition. What stupid thing is Brother Jing going to do?
This stone originally weighed a thousand kilograms, but with the help of a catapult, the moment it fell, its force exceeded ten thousand kilograms. How could it be resisted by human power?
But as the protagonist on the battlefield at this moment, Guo Jing can clearly feel that he can do it!
Stand with both feet firmly planted on the ground, gathering Qi and condensing the essence.
"Roar!"
A dragon roar sounded.
A light dragon transformed from true essence surrounded Guo Jing.
The flying dragon is in the sky!
Shocked Baili!
Kanglong has regrets!
Three palms followed each other, and Guo Jing used the know-how of the Three Waves of the Yangtze River to unleash the infinitely powerful Dragon Subduing Palm.
At this moment, all the essence, energy, spirit, strength and profound energy of Guo Jing's whole body were concentrated on this move. His true energy turned into a long golden dragon, roared upward to the sky, and then rushed straight towards the huge stone.
On the battlefield, everyone was shocked by the powerful dragon roar.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the flying stone and the figure. There was nothing left in their eyes, and they even forgot about the fight on their hands!
"Roar!"
After the roar of the dragon, there was a loud noise, and the flying rocks weighing more than ten thousand kilograms were turned into powder by the power of this palm.
It's not broken, but it's powdered!
The difference is astonishing!
Guo Jing, who was originally standing still, was also shaken back by the huge force of the earthquake. On the city wall with the bluestone floor, he took thirteen steps back before he could stop his retreat.
Looking at Guo Jing again, apart from his red complexion and sweating on his forehead, there was nothing unusual about him.
There were only thirteen steps he took back, and each step left shallow footprints on the bluestone floor. The bluestone around the footprints of the last step was cracked and scattered.
The entire battlefield fell into a brief silence, and then an overwhelming roar broke out from the Zhou army's city wall!
"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"
"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"
Whether it was the newly formed Jinyang Army, the elite Shenwu Army, or the Bei Cao Army and Bei Man Army in Jingchu and Chu states, they all looked at Guo Jing feverishly.
With the exception of King Kaiping, who was the unrivaled king among the four founding kings, no one has ever been heard of using his flesh and blood to defeat the flying stones of a catapult.
Now this legendary scene appeared in front of them.
At this time, Guo Jing's true energy and blood were already churning in his body.
But he still faced the Mohe army and shouted loudly!
"kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The army on the city wall lifted up the sky and the earth with such a momentum that it completely frightened the Mohe tribe's army.
In the military formation, the horses under the crotches of many Mohe cavalry were overwhelmed by the power of the Zhou army at this moment. They snorted uncontrollably and retreated one after another.
This is true for war horses, let alone humans?
"Retreat!" Heshi Liezhining ordered reluctantly.
At this moment, the morale of the Mohe army was completely wiped out by Guo Jing's palm, which was like a god descending from heaven.
How can they compete with the morale-boosted Zhou army on the city wall when they have lost all their energy and are fearful?
Choosing to continue the siege at this time would only increase the casualties of the warriors under his command.
Moreover, although Li Shi Nian and Torres he had just sent were both strong men in the army and their martial arts had reached the realm of Yuanhua, compared with the divine power that Guo Jing had shown just now, they were nothing more than a flying fox shaking a tree.
If they were allowed to climb the city, they would surely die at the hands of Guo Jing.
If the city is not destroyed, but the general is defeated first, it will not be beautiful.
For a master like Guo Jing, no one under him can match him, so he can only choose to surround and kill after breaking the city.
In addition, it was already getting late, so Heshi Liezhining did not hesitate and immediately chose to temporarily withdraw his troops, regroup and avoid the danger for the time being.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
Although the morale of the Zhou army is high at the moment, by tomorrow, it will be almost exhausted!
Looking at the Mohe soldiers retreating like a tide under the city wall, Guo Jing also let out a long sigh.
Then he acted like a normal person and entered the tower with King Chu and Huang Rong.
However, just after entering the tower, Guo Jing's legs went weak, he held on to the table and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Master Guo!"
"Brother Jing!"
Zhu Zhangui and Huang Rong immediately stepped forward to support Guo Jing.
Guo Jing waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to adjust his breath.
When Zhu Zhangui saw this, he immediately walked out of the tower and asked the imperial guards who protected him to protect the tower on the grounds of military secrets, while he commanded the troops and horses to clean the battlefield!
