Boom boom boom... The sound of cannons outside Jinyang City is loud every day.
Guo Shao coughed from time to time, and the choking smell of gunpowder drifted with the wind, almost spreading in every corner.
The cannon array was still some distance away from where he stood, but the sound of cannons kept going, and it seemed that it was always buzzing in his ears.
In such an environment, Guo Shao felt a little dizzy and his confused thoughts were a little uncomfortable.
He rubbed his temples, sat down on a thick wooden table under an open shed, looked through the map drawn by the brush and looked at it. Li Chuyun had now arrived near Shiling Pass in the southern part of Xinzhou, and Xinkou Town and other places in the north were still under the control of the Northern Han army.
Zuo You walked into the straw shed, and Guo Shao said: Once the Liao army approaches Li Chuyun's army, report it to me immediately.
Zuo You said: Follow the order.
As soon as the main force of the Liao army came into contact with Li Chuyun, Guo Shao planned to go north to supervise the war himself.
Because once the Liao army goes south, whether it can resist the enemy generals and affect the consequences of the entire war, Guo Shao believes that visiting the battlefield in person can increase morale... He has a high prestige among martial artists; he is also an emperor, and it is different for the soldiers to make military achievements in front of the emperor, and they will think that the emperor is paying attention to his performance.
Ten days later, the north made a detailed report that the Liao army had passed Yanmen Pass and arrived in the Daizhou area.The eastward facing Gong also reported that the Liao army in Youzhou was approaching Niangzi Pass.
But at this time, Jinyang South City was also a little surprised.
Guo Shao personally led the horse team to watch within 200 steps of the city wall, and advised him from both sides, but he ignored it and was still calm and rode his horse slowly.
There seems to be danger at this distance, but in fact, the bows and arrows are definitely not reachable. The only danger is the catapult carts in the city and the remaining crossbows on the city walls; but the possibility of catapult carts and sporadic crossbows being able to accurately hit the target of the activity is too small.
The personal soldiers around them looked up at the sky nervously, fearing that a stone would fly.
He looked closely at it with his own eyes that the top of the slope of the earth was less than half a person high from the city wall, and the female wall of that section of the city wall had long been completely destroyed by a large number of shellings.
The Zhou army soldiers did not need a ladder to attack from there, and they could climb up with bare hands or a simple ladder.
A general reminded: There is an authentic tunnel that has been dug through, and gunpowder has been buried!The authentic tunnels of the Northern Han Army should have not been discovered yet.
Guo Shao nodded, and immediately turned his head and ran back after seeing it clearly.
He returned straight back to the central army, and civil servants and generals followed the tent and were talking about it in the central army's tent.
Guo Shao took the ruler and repeatedly measured a map with a finely made, and after a moment he spoke: I think...
Everyone quickly stopped talking and turned around.
Guo Shao said: The Youzhou army has limited strength, and there is also a Xianggong unit in Niangzi Pass, which is temporarily fashionable and insufficient in the threat to Jinyang; it is mainly the Liao army entering the northern part of Daizhou.
Wang Pu immediately nodded in agreement.
Guo Shao glanced at him and continued: I want to stay and see what the situation is in the attack on Jinyang... Immediately send a horse to Li Chuyun, and the Liao army passed Xin's mouth and immediately reported it!
Wang Pu said: I will ask someone to issue military orders later.
Guo Shao looked up at the outside of the tent, and his voice became lower and he seemed to be cautious: It was only morning, and he launched an attack today to avoid delaying it and make the Northern Han army more prepared...
Everyone nodded and said yes.
Guo Shao also said: The attacks of the city cracks and the earth cracks are carried out at the same time... He looked back and saw that the explosion of the tunnel gunpowder pit was used as a signal?The buried gunpowder may not necessarily blow up the city wall, but it will definitely explode, and the momentum will not be too small.
Wang Pu said: The defenders in Jinyang City should be prepared, the gap is too small, so it is best to use elite troops in front of this kind of siege.The Hu Ben Army has many horse-riding infantry on the right wing, which can be the vanguard.
Guo Shao agreed.
The generals proposed various tactics one after another, and Guo Shao continued to measure the map with a ruler, but he didn't speak again after a long time.
He repeatedly weighed and inferred, reached out and rubbed his temples, and it seemed as if he was a little hesitant at this time.
However, when he made a real decision, he summoned generals from the Hu Ben Army, Jiannan Army, and the above commanders of the artillery formation to deploy specific strategies; at this time, he could not see any hesitation and was very skillful in various arrangements.
Soon, the sound of cannons continued to sound, roaring.But the sound of drums and whistles in the Zhou army camp was endless, the flags moved, and the troops were dispatched frequently.
In such an empty place, under the blue sky and the sun, it is clear at a glance that the large-scale deployment of troops is impossible to hide what they want to do!
The roar of artillery continued and no longer stopped like before, causing Zhou soldiers to approach the city wall in batches; the smoke was filled with smoke over the fortifications, and even the wind could not be blown away.
Guo Shao rode his horse in the floating smoke and watched the mobilization everywhere silently. The large number of people slowly approaching the first fortification line was vast, completely different from the situation of a large group of wheelbarrows pushing wheelbarrows; in addition, the geofortifications had been completed, and the Northern Han Army could see it.
Guo Shao judged that this time the siege would not be able to attack suddenly like Shouzhou, and it would not be easy to break through directly; but at least such an siege could pose a real threat and pressure to the Northern Han defenders.
He looked sideways slightly and saw Wang Pu looking into the distance with concentration. Wang Pu's face was not very mobile, but very serious.
Guo Shao saw that Wang Pu also made the same judgment as himself... After all, an important city like Jinyang has the elite main force of the Northern Han army defended, and it took less than half a month to attack, so it was difficult to attack.
In the first line of defense in the distance, the Fourth Army of the Hu Ben Army was already in line, all of whom were riding horses.
The gate of the village was opened to the defense line in front of the mountain, and rode slowly out in rows. Several tiger-embroidered flags in front were floating in the wind in the smoke. It was the flag of the most elite Tiger Army of the Zhou army.
The troops were lined up by a team of more than twenty people, with a total of more than twenty rows. After all they were dispatched, no subsequent troops followed. There were a total of about five hundred men and one commanded soldiers, forming a horse-riding formation and slowly moving.
Not long after, the same square formation was also found on the two wings on the back. Three strands of horses were finished in shape, and the square formation facing the mountain advanced forward.
The sound of cannons was still loud, and white smoke rose in rows of Zhou army camps in the rear.The city wall opposite was already full of holes and was in a mess. Stone bombs kept falling up and down the city wall, and earth and stones flew around in the distance.
The first command of the Fourth Army in the right wing in the front was gradually approaching the city wall, and stones fell from time to time on the top of his head. It was the catapult car deployed by the Northern Han army behind the city wall that launched an attack; there were observation posts on the city walls to risk their lives to observe the distance of the Zhou army, some people kept watching there, and some people shouted in the sound of cannons.
At this time, the first command gradually accelerated, and the horses jogged forward, and the originally very neat horse team began to bend.
There was also a row of uneven flags in front of it, which were the fifty-step marks made by the Zhou army before, and they have not been completely destroyed.
At this moment, the strong whimpering sounds from the camp behind them, and a blue flag kept shaking.
The sound of cannons stopped immediately!The sound of horse hooves suddenly roared... It was not that there was the sound of horse hooves just now, but when the louder cannon sound stopped, the movement of horse hooves immediately became prominent!
The cavalry gradually accelerated, and the central department and left and right wing commands rushed forward.
The horse's hooves were like thunder, with levels far and near; the three commanders in the front were charging, and the large groups of people in the fortifications behind also spread out from the defense line.
At this moment, there was a violent tremor on the ground!
As if it was suddenly earthquake, everyone saw a flash of lightning in the distance from the east, and a large cloud of smoke and dust rose up, and immediately heard a loud explosion of the earth shaking!
Everyone's faces changed, but this was not the first time that a large number of soldiers from the Hu Ben Army had witnessed such an explosion.
The three commanders of the Fourth Army rushed towards the city wall frantically, and soon covered the remaining flag marked with fifty steps in the galloping horse team.The wall opposite is getting closer and closer!
Fight for the Emperor of Great Zhou!The big man in front drew his sword and raised it and shouted.The troops immediately shouted loudly.
The forward rushed over the moat that had been blocked and rushed to the bottom of the slope of the Tushan Mountain. The troops immediately turned over and dismounted, and the people in front were climbing up the hillside with swords and shields!
The one who rushed forward was a heavy armored Dutou. He crawled desperately, his mind was blank.
None of the generals of the Hu Ben Army were not experienced in many battles, but in this kind of situation, he knew that he would definitely die!
Dutou was really scared, even if he fought more than once, but he couldn't stop, and he had to try his best to run as fast as possible, so that he could set an example for the soldiers behind him... He had to take on this responsibility, and once he stopped, he would drag down the entire command, and the military law after the war would definitely not be spared!
Fortunately, most of the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army were old soldiers on the battlefield. Otherwise, in such an occasion, they would have been so scared that they could not hold the weapons before they saw the enemy.
Ah!Everyone roared loudly, not only roaring, but also full of fear, killing!
He had climbed up the slope, and there was a small section of flat dirt road at the top of the mountain... In order to prevent the Northern Han army from using the unbreakable 100-jin stone bullets as rolling stones to counterattack.
After running a few steps, some of the Northern Han soldiers who were still on the city wall when the artillery was bombarded, approaching the city wall in a mess, some holding spears and some holding bows and arrows to pull the strings.
At this time, he had already passed the most feared early stage. His rich battle formation experience made him calm down a lot... either you die or I die, I can only fight!
Shoot the arrow!Duo raised his sword and shield and shouted.
Wow... The crossbow soldiers behind fired arrows one after another, and screamed on the city walls, and there were also people behind them being shot by crossbows, but the most was the sound of metal hitting.
Dutou clasped the sword and shield tightly with both hands, and pressed the first one against the city wall. He kicked his left foot on the ground, and suddenly pushed his body upwards and lifted his right foot and stepped on the city wall.
Bang!A pain occurred on his forehead, and the violent metal impact and vibration made him feel dizzy.
A Northern Han soldier had already rushed to the front and waved his sword to greet Du's head.
His eyes were blurred, but he did not faint. He subconsciously bumped his body forward and immediately hit a person, both of them pounced on the ground.
The Zhou army soldiers behind them yelled and climbed up the city wall desperately.
Guo Shao coughed from time to time, and the choking smell of gunpowder drifted with the wind, almost spreading in every corner.
The cannon array was still some distance away from where he stood, but the sound of cannons kept going, and it seemed that it was always buzzing in his ears.
