- "Boom, boom, boom!"
"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
In the early morning of winter, the wind is freezing. On the vast and boundless battlefield, war drums and horns were sounding in unison, and military flags and general flags were flying together. It was a scene of billowing heat and murderous intent!
??The 160,000 Northern Yan army surrounded the huge Pingcheng! Hundreds of thousands of eyes stared eagerly at the tall and majestic city wall of Pingcheng not far away.
Hundreds of phalanxes of thousands of people are lined up neatly outside the city wall, waiting for an order to pounce on them!
??A ballista, a siege vehicle, and a catapult are lined up in the military formation, ready to go!
?¡
Outside the north gate of Pingcheng where the Beiyan Army was mainly attacking, Xue Wanche was riding on the back of Black Storm, squinting his tiger eyes and scanning the movement on the city wall.
Looking from a distance, there are neither flags nor Fusang defenders on the city wall, not even a sound is heard, it is dead silent, as if it is an empty city without defense.
Xue Wanche frowned slightly and said: "It seems that the commander-in-chief of the Fusang garrison is also a man who knows soldiers! He is calm on the surface, but in fact he has murderous intentions. If you don't put the garrison on the top of the city, he knows about our ballistae and catapults. sharp!"
Then, Xue Wanche changed the subject and said: "Huh! Even if you are as cunning as a ghost, I will flatten you and round you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately shouted an order: "Order the entire army to start attacking the city!"
The herald beside him received the order, waved the red and white flags in his hands high, and conveyed Xue Wanche's order.
In this battle, Xue Wanche didn't use any tricks or scheming. He just laid out his battle array and relied on the advantages of Beiyan's army in numbers and combat power, as well as his continuous victory and invincible spirit to storm Pingcheng!
Xue Wanche gave the order, and the first to attack were the hundreds of ballistas!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of machine springs and crossbow strings bursting continuously. The crossbow, which required eight strong men and a winch to pull open, instantly fired a crossbow arrow that was as long as a man and as thick as a child's arm. Got out.
The crossbow arrows, weighing dozens of kilograms, roared straight towards the city wall!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Hundreds of crossbow arrows, like cannonballs, plunged straight into the six or seven-foot-high city wall built with huge rocks.
After a series of loud noises, the section of city wall that was bombarded by the ballista suddenly shook. And the crossbow arrow, which was as long as one person, penetrated the city wall for more than several feet, leaving only a small half exposed.
The next thing to attack were the dozens of trebuchets!
The five or six-foot-tall trebuchet is almost as high as the walls of Pingcheng! It takes a dozen oxen to pull it, and more than a dozen people to steer it.
"Woo! Woo! Woo!" The long slinging arm drove the boulder the size of a basin, quickly rotated half a circle, and then threw the boulder weighing more than a hundred kilograms high in one fell swoop.
The round boulder drew an arc in the air, flew about two hundred feet, and then hit the city wall hard.
The city wall that was hit suddenly shook violently, and gravels of all sizes collapsed.
A few boulders did not hit the city wall. Instead, they flew over and hit the back of the city wall hard.
"ah!"
"idiot!"
"Amaterasu!" The boulders continued to roll among the Fuso defenders, crushing them into bloody roads.
The Fuso people who were hiding behind the city wall were so frightened by the huge boulder falling from the sky that they screamed! A few unlucky ones were directly smashed into pulp. The luckier ones had their legs broken by the rolling boulders and fell there crying for their fathers and mothers.
But the long-range strikes are far from over!
¡°Bang, bang, bang!¡±
"Woo, woo, woo!"
The crossbow arrows fired by hundreds of ballistas pricked the city wall into hedgehogs!
The boulders thrown by dozens of catapults were like meteorites, smashing holes into the city wall!
And the countless Fusang people who were hiding within the city walls were frightened to death when they heard the huge noise above them, like the ground shaking and the mountains roaring, and the mountains roaring like a tsunami.
Although Fusang Kingdom has been fighting a civil war for hundreds of years, when has such a deadly weapon been used on the battlefield? These Fuso soldiers have never seen such a powerful siege machine, and they will inevitably be frightened out of their wits!
But whenever the movement of the ballistas and catapults stopped for a moment, some Fuso leaders would always stand up and say, "Bah, bang, bang!" and slapped them hard in the face continuously, which would wake up the Fuso soldiers who were so frightened that they were stunned.
And these Fusang leaders slapped them in the face and shouted loudly: "Baga!We are the people of His Majesty the God Emperor! We are descendants of Amaterasu! We are fearless soldiers under Toyotomi Taikaku! We believe in the spirit of Bushido! We have infinite courage to kill all Beiyan pigs! "
"Kill all the Beiyan pigs!"
"Kill all the Beiyan pigs!"
?¡
Under the instigation of these leaders, countless Fuso soldiers were excited and went to wherever they were. Their only thought was to serve the Fuso Empire and to be loyal to His Majesty the God Emperor!
But the overwhelming crossbow arrows and boulders will not stop attacking just because the Fuso people are losing their morale.
The ballistae and catapults attacked for more than a dozen rounds until they had to stop and replace damaged parts due to mechanical wear.
However, as one of the three capitals of Goryeo, Pingcheng¡¯s city wall was really tall and thick. Although it was riddled with holes by bombardment, it managed to hold on and remained firm!
Seeing that the city wall had not been blown down, Xue Wanche's expression remained unchanged, and he waved his hand and said: "Let the armored battalion start attacking the city!"
The Iron Armored Battalion is also part of the Liaodong Army, with a total of more than 10,000 armored heavy infantry.
Each of these armored heavy infantrymen is a strong and sturdy man. They are covered in full iron armor that is like a turtle shell and weighs seventy or eighty kilograms. They are also holding a large iron shield that weighs twenty to thirty kilograms. They can still move freely. .
The elite level of this armored heavy infantry is no less than that of heavy cavalry. In siege battles, the role of armored heavy infantry is far greater than that of heavy cavalry, and they are the well-deserved backbone of the siege.
The armored battalion received the order to attack the city. Tens of thousands of armored heavy infantry were divided into more than twenty columns. Carrying bags of sand and soil, they began to charge upward!
Their task was not to charge directly at the city wall from the beginning, but to first fill in the several-foot-wide moat to create an attack path.
Although the speed of the armored heavy infantry cannot keep up with the cavalry, and is not even as fast as the light infantry, tens of thousands of people are stepping heavily at the same time, and even the earth is shaking slightly. The momentum is really amazing!
But there was still no movement on the Pingcheng wall!
Until the armored battalion rushed within the range of the bow and arrow, densely packed human heads suddenly appeared on the wall, and started firing arrows at the tens of thousands of armored heavy infantry!
Seeing the movement on the wall, Zhou Hao, who had not yet had his turn to take action, narrowed his pupils slightly and relied on his extraordinary eyesight to estimate the number of defenders on the wall.
After a while, Zhou Hao already had the answer in his mind.
On this city wall alone, there are more than 15,000 Fuso archers lying on the wall shooting arrows!
The dense rain of arrows continued like migratory locusts into the armored camp.
