- Stones rained down all over the sky, and the enemy formations outside the city were densely packed and endless. With such a formation, Yan Liang didn't want to attack the city with his entire army, so what?
Xun Chen¡¯s remaining doubts were instantly shattered by this unprecedented bombardment.
He knew that after the violent bombardment, what he had to face would be Yan Liang's nearly 50,000-strong army attacking the city.
At this time, there were only three thousand soldiers and horses on the front line of Xicheng. How could a mere three thousand soldiers and horses withstand Yan Liang's violent attack, which was more than ten times the strength of Yan Liang.
Xun Chen, who knew the art of war, certainly understood that at this time he had to gather all the defenders of Xu Capital City to desperately deal with Yan Liang's all-out attack.
The order was passed, and several cavalry messengers started from the west gate and went straight to the other gates.
The guard generals of each gate received the order and hurriedly sent most of their troops to the West City, while the remaining three gates only had eight or nine hundred troops left to guard the city.
Supporting soldiers and horses arrived in the west city one after another, and the bombardment continued. The more than 4,000 reinforcements did not even dare to go to the top of the city. They could only hide under the walls to avoid the stone bullets coming from the sky.
Unconsciously, the morning glow from the east pierced the morning fog and illuminated the heaven and earth, but the violent bombardment continued.
Countless stone bullets have laid a thick layer under the city wall. The entire west city wall is already pitted and disfigured. The parapet on the top of the city has been smashed into countless pieces, with pieces missing in the east and west. , the gray mist mixed with wood chips and stone chips filled the air, making everyone choke and breathless.
Xun Chen became depressed and hoped that Yan Liang would attack the city quickly. At this time, he would rather face a bloody fight with real swords and guns than endure the painful torture of holding his breath.
Yan Liang under the city. But he stood on his horse, leisurely admiring the spectacular scene in front of him.
He was not in a hurry at all.
The generals around you. Even the vast crowd of soldiers behind them were not anxious at all. They were just watching the fun and laughing as they watched the enemy being ravaged by their own Thunderbolt Chariots.
Yan Liang yawned and glanced back at the soldiers behind him. Looking at the dummies tied with straw in their hands, a smug sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, there are only a mere 20,000 soldiers and soldiers of Yan Army stationed here. The extra 30,000 people were just straw men wearing armor.
The reason why Yan Liang chose to set up the formation before dawn was to use the dim light to make it difficult for the Yuan army on the city to distinguish the true from the false, and to make them mistakenly think that all his 50,000 troops were gathered here.
Although the sky was bright at this time, Yan Liang still suppressed Yuan Jun with the bombardment of thunderbolt chariots, so that they did not dare to raise their heads. In this way, even if it was daylight, they would not be able to detect the disguised straw men in the army.
Looking at the dilapidated enemy city, Yan Liang knew that Xu Shu's strategy had obviously worked.
??Looked up at the sun. Yan Liang waved his hand and said: "It's almost time. Xun Chen has probably gathered his troops in the west city and lit the wolf smoke."
The general passed down the line and the horse galloped up.
Not long after, we were at the rear. Three thick black wolf smoke soared into the sky, reaching into the sky. It is clearly visible for dozens of miles around.
Yan Liang squinted at the raging black smoke and murmured: "Old General Huang, the next step is up to you."
¡¡
Dongcheng.
That earth wall, which was several feet high, cut off Xu Ducheng's connection with the outside world, and also blocked the view from the top of the city.
The remaining 900 defenders at the top of the city did not know that since early in the morning, nearly 30,000 Yan troops had quietly gathered behind the huge wall.
More than 30,000 people squatted silently under the wall, shivering in the cold wind of winter night for several hours.
Huang Zhong was like an old man next door, squatting among the sergeants, silently wiping his sword.
Seeing that it was getting dark, there was a faint rumbling sound from the west. The soldiers under the wall all woke up from their drowsiness, whispering to each other, and discussing excitedly in private.
Huang Zhong still had a calm expression on his face, just wiping his sword so quietly.
Under the calm face, there is a heart burning like fire, and the strong fighting spirit is gradually boiling in his blood.
¡°General, the fire on the east side is lit¡ª¡ª¡± a sentry shouted excitedly.
Huang Zhong's figure was slightly shaken, he raised his head and looked towards the east, and sure enough he saw three wolf smoke rising into the sky.
At this time, the soldiers under his command also saw the smoke signal, and more than 30,000 people suddenly became excited when they entered.
They all knew that it was the Lord who gave them the order to attack.
Huang Zhong's sunken eyes flashed with excitement, and he suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Get up, I, the whole army is ready to attack."
The order was passed, and the three armies were excited.
More than 30,000 athletes who have been waiting for a long time did not need to do any mobilization. They cheered up immediately and consciously held the sword in formation. All of them had a fanatical fighting spirit in their eyes.
Several wooden doors on the wall creaked open, and 30,000 soldiers poured into the inner wall like a tide, quickly forming an attack formation that stretched hundreds of feet. The thick swords and halberds almost chilled the sky. The flag rolled like a furious wave.
It was already bright at this time, and the defenders on the top of the city could clearly see Yan Jun's family's actions.
When the 900 Yuan troops suddenly saw endless enemy troops emerging from the deserted city, all the Yuan troops were stunned.
Meng Dai, the guard at the head of the city, changed his face greatly. Seeing the countless enemies outside the city, he suddenly realized that they had fallen into Yan Liang's plan of seducing the east and attacking the west. The massive bombardment in the west city The bombing was just a feint attack. The enemy's real attack turned out to be Dongcheng, which had already lost most of its troops.
????????????????????????????????????????: There are nearly 30,000 enemy troops. How can these 900 soldiers withstand dozens of times the enemy's attack?
Meng Dai was shocked and shouted: "Go and report to Master Xun quickly that we have fallen into a trap. Ask him to send reinforcements quickly¡ª¡ª"
After the order was issued, Yan Jun's army was in action outside the city, and the mighty war drums were already beating.
If there is a wave of waves in the military formation, outside the wall, behemoths several feet high are slowly pushed into the front of the formation.
In an instant, Meng Dai's face turned pale, and he gasped in shock.
That behemoth is the "opposite building", a powerful siege weapon.
This giant siege weapon is almost as high as the city wall. It is divided into three levels. The soldiers on the lowest level are responsible for pushing the cart forward. The middle level is equipped with crossbowmen. With the cover of the building wall, they can shoot at close range. Fire crossbows at the city head to suppress the firepower at the city head.
The uppermost floor of this pair of buildings can carry forty fully armed infantry. Once the opposite tower is close to the city wall, they can easily climb onto the city wall by lowering the pedals.
This pair of buildings is known as the most powerful weapon in siege warfare.
Although this object has powerful attack power, it is difficult to manufacture and transport because it is too huge. It can only be made from local materials before the battle. After conquering a city, it will be useless.
Yan Liang had been besieging and not attacking for the past few days. It was during this free time that he sent out an army to build more than 20 vehicles day and night, just for today's battle.
When Meng Dai saw the enemy "sacrificing" this powerful weapon to the building, he immediately panicked. To deal with such a powerful siege weapon, he must have enough troops. At the moment, he only has more than 900 people, how can he resist it at the same time? Twenty vehicles attacked the building together.
However, when he was frightened, it was too late. Huang Zhong, who was riding in front of the formation, had already given the order to attack with a wave of his long sword.
The horn sounded, and the trench-filling team of 3,000 people was dispatched.
Hundreds of shieldmen held up large shields as high as one person in front, covering their companions behind them as they pushed toad carts used to fill the trenches. Behind them were more than 500 crossbowmen, using arrows to suppress the enemy at the top of the city.
Meng Dai didn't have time to think too much. While sending people to the west city to ask for help, he ordered the remaining defenders at the top of the city not to panic and immediately fired arrows to stop the enemy.
However, how could only more than two hundred crossbowmen stop Yan Jun's advance?
Soon, after only paying the price of dozens of people, Yan Jun's trench-filling team rushed to the front of the moat and pushed toad carts into the trench one after another.
Dozens of dirt roads were quickly filled in in front of the two-foot-wide moat.
The road leading to the city wall has been opened. Huang Zhong raised his sword and shouted: "City capture team, attack -"
The second round of war drums sounded like thunder, and more than twenty vehicles facing the building, like those ancient behemoths, slowly advanced towards the city wall with the sound of squeaking wheels.
At the same time, the ordinary siege team also started with a bang. More than ten thousand infantrymen holding swords and shields, carrying more than forty hook ladders and ladders, rushed towards the enemy city with shouts.
The crossbowmen of the trench-filling team, under the cover of the shieldmen, lined up in front of the city wall and continued to shoot arrows to suppress the Yuan army at the head of the city.
The Yuan army at the top of the city became increasingly panicked. Facing an enemy with an overwhelming numerical advantage, only 900 people were focused on one thing and not the other. They were unable to deal with it. Moreover, they had to face a dense rain of arrow attacks under the city. .
Amid the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the ordinary siege team rushed to the city.Amidst the chants, long ladders were erected one after another, and tens of thousands of Yan troops began to climb the ladders to climb the city regardless of their own safety.
Meng Dai could only command his soldiers, use poles to prop up Yan Jun's ladder, use stone and wood to kill the enemy soldiers climbing the city, and use all his strength to resist the enemy's strong attack.
Meng Dai is also considered a veteran of Yuan Tan's command, and he is quite capable. With only the strength of more than 900 men, he actually suppressed the Yan army's offensive. In the cloud echelon of more than 10,000 people, no one was able to board the enemy city for a long time.
But at this moment, more than 20 huge people facing each other had already passed the moat. The one in front crashed into the walled city with a majestic momentum.
The moment they approached the city, the entire city wall seemed to tremble slightly. Immediately afterwards, the huge pedal fell down, smashing into pieces several enemies who tried to block it beside the female wall.
As soon as the pedal fell, more than forty Yan Jun warriors who had already sharpened their swords on the top floor surged up to the top of the city roaring like wild beasts out of their cages.
The tiger-bear flag bearer, who was as strong as a bull, vigorously planted the flying flag with the word "Yan" on the top of Xudu City. - Didn't finish reading?
