Chapter 5: Individual Soldiers Attack

1days ago Xuanhuan Novels 3
Cheng Zongyang rubbed his numb arms while sucking in the cold air.

Wu Zhanwei and Ao Run opened their eyes wide and the other opened their mouths wide. After a while, Wu Zhanwei said: Touer Cheng, when have you become so strong?

Ao Run also said: Lao Cheng, what are you eating?This cultivation level is thousands of miles a day!

The beast warrior's body was lying on the city like a hill, and as he breathed slightly, a piece of fragments of a bronze heart protection mirror scattered under his torso.

After a fierce battle just now, Cheng Zongyang's two swords were almost cut into a mess by the heavy axe of the beast barbarian warrior.

He abandoned his sword and used his palms, and slapped the heart-protecting mirror of the Beast Barbarian Warrior to pieces, and defeated the leopard's head.

Cheng Zongyang was not relaxed either. This beast warrior was of extraordinary talent. When he used the Nine Yang Divine Art when he used his palm, he could beat even a wild boar. This guy only broke one rib!

Fortunately, the body structure of the beast barbarian is not much different from that of humans. He used his own technique to seal several large acupoints. If he only tried his best, he might not be able to beat it.

Such an ugly guy is actually called Leopard Head. Compared with it, Wu Er's rough man is so handsome.

Cheng Zongyang muttered in his heart, and ordered: Lock it up, make a cage, don’t let it escape!

What he was curious about was why the beast barbarian followed Qin Han's orders?If Qin Han had a few more camps of beast barbarian warriors, there would be no need to fight this battle.

Ao Run responded, called several mercenaries and dragged the beast barbarian warrior down the city with its big axe.

Meng Feiqing patted Cheng Zongyang on the shoulder and then sang: Major Cheng defeated two enemies in a row!My Xingyue Lake!Undefeated!

The Xingyue Lake soldiers on the city walls far and near said repeatedly: Undefeated!Undefeated!

Xia Yonghe exchanged a look with Qin Han.

When did the Eight Horses in Xingyue Lake have one more surnamed Cheng?

Qin Han fought with him, but the broken finger bones still had not healed. He still remembered the young man freshly and said: This bandit has a good cultivation level.

Li Xiandao: Could it be Xuan Qi who only heard of his name but did not see him?

Xia Yonghe thought for a moment, then nodded.It must be him.

The generals suddenly realized.No wonder the Selected Front Camp lost both challenges, but unfortunately they were too far away and there were no lights on the city, so they could not see clearly what the most mysterious Xuan Qi was among the Eight Horses.

The Song army failed in the challenge, but a Bingyilang climbed the city alone and escaped from the thief chief, and his morale was not affected much.

The silent catapult just now showed its might again, hundreds of fireballs flew away one after another, smashing the city tower and fortress into a sea of ​​fire.But the fire soon disappeared, and the cement-swept city walls remained indestructible.

The excessive throwing catapult began to damage under heavy burdens and the offensive gradually slowed down.Not long after, the last ball of fire was thrown, and the catapult suddenly fell silent.

Cheng Zongyang recovered some strength.Eighty times it was rushed over.

The rushing car is named after it hits the city gate, and its biggest feature is the huge siege hammer on the car.

Ordinary rushers have fixed structures, and rely on manpower to push the body to hit the city gate.

The Song Jun's rushing car was suspended, which not only saved effort, but also hit several times faster than the fixed one.

Cheng Zongyang became increasingly convinced that the Song camp mobilized a large number of craftsmen to participate in the war, and the war would continue.

Starting from Sanchuankou, Xingyue Lake Camp repeatedly took the initiative to attack the Song army and forced the Song army to withdraw.

However, the State of Song was indomitable and still increased its troops despite the soaring military expenditure, which made Cheng Zongyang feel a headache.After all, the Song army can afford it, but the Xingyue Lake camp cannot afford it.

Major Cheng!

Cheng Zongyang turned around, but Xiao Wu came with the bow and shield that the Yun family had just delivered.While asking someone to hand over the bow and shield, Cheng Zongyang said: Where are those young masters?

Xiao Wu said: I heard the movement and came, but I just accepted it and couldn't come so quickly. I was now rectifying the people and relieved the wine.With Major Xiao here, there will be no trouble.

Don't be afraid of trouble, as long as they don't hurt them.

Cheng Zongyang picked up a dragon carving bow, Lao Ao!Look at this!

Ao Run already had a dragon scale shield. When he saw the dragon eagle bow, his eyes lit up. He picked it up and stretched his arms and pulled it open, and then shouted strangely: What kind of bow is this!

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: How about it?

This bow is a bit weird. It is not heavy when pulled, but its strength is not small.

A hand stretched out from beside him was Meng Feiqing. He took a big bow straight away, put on the arrow, and then released his finger and shot a commander who drew his sword and supervised the battle two hundred steps away.

Good bow!The three-stone bow has the strength of four stones!

These dragon-carved bows were customized by Cheng Zongyang, most of which were about two stones, and only a few were strong bows with three stones.

The force of the bow body is generally hung on the bow string and calculated based on the load load of the bow string.Most of the people who use one stone bow are used, and those who can use two stone bows are all heroes.

The force shot by the dragon carving bow is 30% higher than that of other bows. The three stone bow can shoot the force of the four stone bows. The dragon tendons are durable and there is no need to change the string frequently, and the range and accuracy are more stable. Therefore, Zhang Shaohuang regarded his one and a half stone dragon carving bow as a treasure.

Ao Run held the dragon eagle bow and couldn't let go, but Cheng Zongyang smiled: I'll give it to you.

Ao Run was overjoyed and said nothing!Look at mine!

Meng Feiqing bent his fingers and bounced the Dragon Scale Shield.nice one!With this, you are not afraid of being in a position with Song Jun’s divine arm bow; you can decide how to distinguish it.

OK!

Cheng Zongyang did not refuse, and first took out a hundred sets of bows and shields and asked them to be distributed to the defenders on the fortress. The others were distributed according to the forces of each city to ensure that each company fighting on the front line had ten dragon carving bows and fifty-faced dragon scale shields.

good.

Meng Feiqing waited for him to give orders in a concise manner and said: You will command it below.

Cheng Zongyang shouted: No!Boss!

Meng Feiqing raised his thick eyebrows.Don't dare?

Dry!I mean, everyone is familiar with the work of defending the city, so no one needs to command it. I think it's been very good now.

No matter how well they defend, they will fight for their own battles.How to fill the gap and boost morale depends on you.

Boss, you really trust me!

Cheng Zongyang grabbed the flag and asked first: Where are the two rushers?

Ao Run said: I have arrived at the city.

good!Put it in!

A rusher at the front bypassed the fortress and first entered the tall gate of Jiangzhou City Gate.

The infantrymen in the city near the rushing car kept raising their shields to protect them. When they had a dome protection above their heads, they immediately put down their shields and rushed in, drawing their swords and slashing the city gate.

The city gates are usually made of wooden, and at most they are covered with a layer of iron on the outside.

To their surprise, the city gates in Jiangzhou were made of stone, and steel knives cut on them, sparks were splashed everywhere, and the effect was far less effective than tools such as pickaxes.

Get out of the way!Get out of the way!

A scream came from behind.The heavy rusher pushed into the door hole and spilled mud all the way down.The rushing car was about a meter high, and a siege ram weighing more than thousands of kilograms was hung with an iron chain.

Everyone shouted slogans and pulled up the attacking ram, and then rushed towards the city gate. The huge impact almost shocked the entire city wall.

After another rusher also entered the door, Cheng Zongyang looked at Meng Feiqing.Meng Feiqing hugged his shoulders, with an expression that whatever you say is what you say.

Cheng Zongyang sighed: If they knew that the city gate was actually a five-foot-thick cement wall, I wonder if they would cry to death... Lao Ao!Close the door and beat the dog!

Ao Run swung the knife and knocked it on a wooden stake at his feet with the back of the knife.The wooden stake was tilted to one side, and the iron chain stuck on the stake made a heavy friction sound, sliding towards a crack about a foot wide in front of him.

With a loud bang, the cement door gate about a foot thick and two meters high in the city wall fell down. Several lucky Song soldiers were standing under the door and were touched on the spot.More unfortunate Song troops were trapped in the doorway and could not advance or retreat.

Stone!It's stone again!

The Song Jun behind shouted: This ghost place in Jiangzhou is so strange!

The head of a rushing car behind immediately ordered the rushing car to move back and attack the gate, but the enemy's movements were faster.

A hot liquid was pouring down the door gate, and Song Jun accidentally touched it immediately screamed.Boiling oil!

It's boiling oil!

Don't be afraid!

Dutou said loudly: This is the city gate!The bandits dare not set fire!

As soon as he finished speaking, a fire light shot through the gap above his head. In an instant, the doorway that could accommodate hundreds of people turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Generally, city gates are most afraid of fire attack. The gaps used to place gate gates are usually used to irrigate water to prevent the siege from burning the door hole with fire.

But the city gates in Jiangzhou have no wood except cement.

>Cheng Zongyang did not pour too much oil into it. The siege battle has just begun. Save a little if you can.

He just asked someone to press the gap in the door gate with a cement board, then pointed to the clock next to it, and opened it after three minutes.

Wu Zhanwei looked at the second hand of the clock and said with some concern: Cheng Touer, are you too anxious?

Now there is a sealed space inside the door opening. When the fire occurs, the oxygen in the air will be consumed immediately.Three minutes have become very conservative.I guess in high temperature sealing, one and a half minutes will be enough.

A dull scream came from the door, and the door that was as if the huge rock was integrated, it was heard from time to time, as if the Song army inside was trying desperately to break a road of life.

The Song army outside the city tried to rescue the trapped companions, but the screams inside quickly fell silent.

Then the gate was driven by the iron chain, and the heat waves and stench of corpse almost collapsed outside the door.

In just a few breaths, none of the elite imperial guards who were still well-clad and well-armed just now survived.

Hundreds of unrecognizable corpses crowded in the door, as if everyone rushed towards this only way to live before they died.

The two rushers only started to burn at this time. The flames suppressed due to lack of oxygen rose in balls, wrapping the huge body in the raging fire, and the dazzling scene could be seen clearly for several miles and outside.

Cheng Zongyang rubbed his beating forehead and waved the order flag.

A whistle with a bone whistle flew into the sky, and the soldiers of Xingyue Lake from six fortresses appeared at the same time, and arrows shot towards the back of the Song army like raindrops.

Even a playboy like Zhang Shaohuang can use a dragon carving bow to hit every shot. These sixty dragon carving bows fell into the hands of the Xingyue Lake soldiers, and they even exerted a huge power that was almost comparable to the Divine Arm Bow.

The rushing car burned inside the city gate, and the Song army, illuminated by the flames, became the best target.

Although the Divine Arm Bow is still attacking the fortress, all the soldiers of Xingyue Lake gathered on the back of the fortress, and they did not need to pay attention to the sharp arrows that didn't even have the target.

After just one stick of incense, there was no moving object within two hundred steps in front of the city gate.

Shi Yuansun hit the boots hard with a horse whip and broke out a slander.Xia Yonghe snorted, and the remaining commander of the Japanese army's right wing immediately shut his mouth and raised his back.

Xia Yong and Shi Yuansun had complained a lot about Xia Yong and his unimprovement while sitting at the city a few days ago, but now he was convinced and dared not speak or move.

Xia Shuai secretly mobilized craftsmen, and without knowing that he created a large number of siege equipment in the Jinming Houzhai; if he didn't move, he would be like thunder.

Although it was temporarily down, Shi Yuansun was 90% confident of such a large-scale siege, and Jiangzhou would decide to fight in one battle.

Qin Han, what do you think?

Except for His Majesty Song, the only one who can call Qin Han the name may be Xia Yonghe, who has been in the army for decades.

Qin Han said: The traitors defend properly, the city is strong and the soldiers are sharp, this battle is not easy.

This sentence means not saying it, but Xia Yonghe doesn't mind either.

Li Xian suddenly shouted: Who is that young man?He has actually attacked the city!

Shi Yuansun also shouted: Zhe Jimin!Good boy!There is really his!

The generals cheered and their morale was slightly boosted.

Zhe Jimin was born into the Zhe family and was a family friend of the Yang family.The biological mother of Zhe Taijun, the head of the Yang family generation, was his aunt. Zhe Jimin and Yang Zongbao were his peers.

The Zhe family has many children and grandchildren, and the military generals have produced more than the Yang family.He was a hereditary military position, and his position was much higher than his peers as soon as he joined the army. He became the commander of the second army of the left wing of the Japanese army at a young age.

Shi Yuansun originally regarded him as a trouble boy who relied on his father's position, but he did not expect that he would be the first to enter the city as the commander of the army.

Xia Yonghe's face looked very ugly.Nonsense!The commander of a army ventured to climb the city, how can the courage of every man achieve great things?

Li Xian coughed softly.Zhe Jiwen was originally a subordinate of General Liu Ping. General Liu was killed and praised the Japanese army and the bandits as deep as the sea.He was young and energetic, and this time he climbed the city was also commendable.

Qin Han didn't say anything, but just looked up at the night and frowned unaware.

Zhe Jimin made a gap at the top of the city with a silver spear. The Song army behind him was filled with joy, and dozens of warriors climbed up the ladder, ready to break the city with the main general.

Suddenly, a lightning bolt split the night sky, and a big man with a light golden color waved his sword and attacked Zhe Jimin's gun net. The light on the knife made Zhe Jimin's silver gun also pale.

Li Xian said in surprise: Thunder Knife Zang Xiu?This guy is still alive?not good!

Amid the screams of everyone, Zhe Jimin had been forced to the city wall by Zang Xiu, and then the thunder sword slashed heavily on the gun.Zhe Jiwen was unstable and leaned back and fell from the city.

Xia Yonghe snorted coldly: It’s good to give him some bitterness.

Zhe Jiwen fell to death, but at least he didn't kill his life, but the gap he opened had been blocked by the rushing bandits, and the ladder was also smashed.

The commander of the first army is really not easy to be.

Cheng Zongyang stared at the fierce battle at the top of the city, while paying attention to the Song army's mobilization, estimating his own losses, and constantly asking about the situation in other places to analyze whether the Song army was fighting against the west?

Are our own casualties affordable?

Do you need to use the reserve team in the city?

The young general with silver spear and white robe was shocked by Cheng Zongyang.

Our biggest weakness is that our troops are insufficient. Once the Song army enters the city and opens the gap, our troops will go from defending the city to sharing the enemy and us, and the disadvantages of our troops will be fully exposed.Cheng Zongyang immediately sent Zang Xiu to reinforce.

Monk Zang is worthy of being the number one tiger general under Xie Yi. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the Song army that had climbed the city retreated.

The Song army's offensive was repeatedly frustrated, and the generals were tense, and the atmosphere became more and more serious.Many people looked at Qin Han quietly, and Shi Yuansun plucked up his courage and said: I have heard for a long time that the soldiers in the Selected Front Camp are as strong as the world...

Xia Yong and his eyes swept, and Shi Yuansun shut up embarrassedly.

Qin Han sighed in his heart and was about to speak, Li Xian scolded: Just now, the command of Qin Zheng fought with the thief chief and escaped unscrupulously, which had greatly increased morale.Although the Selected Front Camp is strong, it is a cavalry after all. How can it be used to attack the city?

Shi Yuansun bent his knees and said with a fist: Ignorance is the last general, please punish Qin Shuai.

Qin Han was silent for a moment, then slowly said: Xia Shuai is powerful and powerful, Qin's cavalry has no place to use its power here.But state affairs are the most important, how can we sit and watch... the beast barbarian camp!

A beastly roar came from behind the formation, and a powerful beast-barbarian warrior wearing iron armor came over and knelt in front of Qin Han on one knee.

Qin Han rubbed his head with one hand and said after a while: Dongcheng.

The beast barbarian warrior stood up and yelled a long pill at the five generals of the beast barbarian camp.

Five generals responded with a low roar, and then a battalion of beasts and barbarians immediately dispatched, running eastward towards Jiangzhou City.

The charge of the Beast Barbarian Camp did not dare to approach even the Song army of the same camp; the Song army along the way avoided one after another, and the cavalry's war horses neighed in fear, and only the people and horses of the Xuanfeng Camp did not move like nails.

Xia Yonghe and Qin Han looked at each other, and although they were silent, they could see the bitter smiles hidden in each other's eyes.Jia Shixian stared at him, and even though he knew it was futile, he had to let the soldiers shed enough blood.

With a sound of the tent, Liu Yisun fell heavily to the ground.He gritted his teeth and leaned on the ground with one sword, turned over and jumped up, leaning behind a smashed car to avoid the bandit's bow and arrow.

Liu Yisun’s case has not been settled, but just got the news, Qin Xian, a Da Shaoan, personally handed over a letter to defend Liu Ping’s slander.

It is said that the Privy Council has sent people to investigate and release the detained Liu Ping's family.

He heard in prison that the Long Wei army was ambushed in Haoshuichuan, and Ren Fu and Ren Huailiang and his son died in battle on the same day.

He didn't care about mourning his friends, the first thing Liu Yisun did when he came out of prison was to find the generals of the Japanese army and demanded to attack the city.

Cao Cong, the chief general of the first army in the left wing of the Japanese army, was unable to stop him, so he was incorporated into the army as a reserve force.Unexpectedly, when the war broke out, Liu Yisun went to the front line to attack the city first.

The three Song troops that siege the city were frustrated one after another. The Long Wei army attacking the North Gate suffered two defeats in succession, including Haoshuichuan and Dingchuanzhai. Although the front-selling rescue was timely and they were not completely wiped out by the bandits, the morale of the army was always weak. This time, the force was barely sent troops to restrain the bandits.

The one who attacked Dongcheng was Liu Ping's old subordinates, and his morale was the highest.

Liu Ping was extremely grateful for the morale of the army, and Sanchuankou was defeated and died. All the soldiers were thinking of avenging the lord.

But Xia Yonghe and the main force of the Pengri Zuoxiang Army, including Zhe Jimin's Second Army, were placed in the south city, and only three armies were used in the east city.

There is no city gate in the east city of Jiangzhou. The three troops in the left wing of the Japanese army avoided the two fortresses outside the city and concentrated in the south of the city wall.

Duan forcibly attacked the city.

Liu Yisun climbed the ladder in the first group, but as soon as he killed and injured two bandits, he was beaten down from the top of the city by a female bandit.

Fortunately, he was blocked by a ladder in the middle and did not fall directly. Otherwise, like most of the comrades who fell into the city, he would have been unable to get up.

Originally, those hanging buildings that were protruding outside the city had already shocked Liu Yisun, and all kinds of strange tools used by the bandits in the city were emerging one after another.

He saw that the huge rocks used by the enemy to smash the cart were actually all in four-edge shapes, like caltrops that had been magnified dozens of times. No matter how they were thrown down, they would hit the ground with three edges, one edge was high and pointed.

Each edge is three feet long and weighs hundreds of kilograms.

As Lai Qingche was smashed one after another, a stone forest was added under the city wall.

The siege of the Song army had to risk being shot by a bow and arrow and tried their best to move the stone thorns away to make room for the ladder and get close to the wall.

Liu Yisun has seen many rolling stones and wood used to defend the city, but he has never seen anyone make stones like thorns.

Not that no one knows that this is the best tool to defend the city, but no one can do his best to carve the stone into the shape of a thorny thorn.

And the thorns were exactly the same, as if they were poured out of the same mold.

This reminded Liu Yisun that the rumors of Jiangzhou cement: If the Jiangzhou bandits really had a way to mix water and mud into any shape of stone, I was afraid that it would really respond to Zhang Kang's words - the Battle of Jiangzhou will kill people.

Then Liu Yisun saw more strange-shaped stone equipment.

For example, it is about a meter-long, with slits on both sides, and stone thorns covered with stone thorns: the bandits put this kind of stone quartz on a cloud ladder, and the stone weighing more than a thousand pounds rolled down the ladder body, pressing the ladder body into a quartz, crushing all the Song army who had no time to hide, and finally smashing the carriage of the cloud ladder to pieces.

It is also like stringing a stone ball with a long rope, shaped like an iron meteor: the bandits in the hanging building are descending from a high place and throwing the strings of stone balls down.

Those stone balls were thrown into the crowd and they were almost always hit.

Liu Yisun saw more than once that the Song army soldiers were twisted by ropes, and the stone balls flying at both ends hit the soldiers next to them, breaking their tendons and fractured their bones.

For example, the stone horse-repelling horses that are about a meter wide, inlaid with iron hooks, wooden horse-repelling cars, cloud ladders, and even nest cars and watchtowers. Once caught by this horse-repelling horse, it is difficult to move in an instant, becoming a living target on the battlefield.

The bandits seemed to have endless huge rocks, and the Song army began to throw them down as soon as they approached.

The first wave of attacks has not yet ended, and a layer of various giant rocks has been piled up within a dozen steps below the city wall.

A large number of siege equipment were stuck in it and could not move.

The soldiers of the Song army who bravely climbed the city were also easily defeated by the bandits who had been prepared.

Liu Du Head!

A soldier approached Liu Yisun, these stones were really evil!Brothers finally smashed a piece of it, and the bamboo sticks and iron hooks grew inside!Could it be that these thieves have magic?

no.Zhang Kang had inquired about this. This is cement produced by Jiangzhou's specialty and has nothing to do with magic.

Cement...Cement...

The soldier muttered, showing a confused expression.

Cheng Zongyang put down the telescope and said: Boss, have you kept it here?

After Meng Feiqing handed over the command power, all military information was reported directly to Cheng Zongyang. If Meng Feiqing had not personally given guidance, and Meng Boss Meng's confidant Guo Sheng was there to help, he would have been unable to deal with it.

At this time, the Song army besieged Nancheng was repeatedly frustrated. Although the offensive had not diminished, its morale had declined.

Most of the equipment used for siege were damaged, and the layout of the guardian side was still orderly. The fortresses, hanging buildings, and city walls formed a three-dimensional defense network that was indestructible. The Baniu Bend on the city has not been used yet.

If the Song army had no strange means, this round of offensive would be at the end of its strength.

It's still early,

Meng Feiqing said: The beast barbarian army of the Selected Front Camp has been dispatched.

Cheng Zongyang quickly raised his telescope and indeed felt a little turbulent after seeing the Song army formation.It seems to be heading east.not good!The Song army is fighting against the west, it’s wrong!It's the sound of the south and the attack of the east!Dry!The Song army has increased its troops again!

The Song army set off four armies at the south gate, and then two armies appeared on the battlefield. Even if the defenders saw the Song army's mobilization, they could not support the defenders in the East City.

Meng Feiqing said: Leave the South Gate to me, and you can bring some more people there.

become!

Cheng Zongyang immediately said: Lao Ao, Wu Dadao, and Zang Monk!Follow me to Dongcheng!Guo Sheng!Notify Lieutenant Colonel Cui’s Fourth Battalion and Su Rao of Sixth Battalion to prepare to climb the city!

At this moment, a firework suddenly bloomed in the eastern sky, and the bright light shone on the night sky.
