Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 599 Chemical Weapons
"The city gate is broken, hurry up and enter the city!"

A large number of Wu and Yue soldiers no longer fought with the Tang army outside the city, but rushed directly to the city gate, and some ladders were already erected on the city wall, and the siege began.

So this time the city defense of the southern city is already in jeopardy, and it is facing a major challenge.

Many Wuyue soldiers outside the city frantically rushed towards the city gate, and joined forces with the spies and dead men inside the city to forcefully break through the defense line of the city gate. Right now, the control of the city gates of Renhe Gate and Dehua Gate is occupied by Wu Yue soldiers. It can't be closed anymore.

The Tang army only relied on the crowd to block the city gate to resist, and wanted to regain control of the city gate. The two sides fought to the end, and the gate of the city piled up into hills.

Shen Chengli was very excited when he saw that the gate of the city had been opened, and said to the military adviser beside him: "Mr. If the horse enters the city, Runzhou City will be broken.

Jiao Jie replied: "Now we just look at how many of our troops can get in. After all, there are only three or four hundred dead soldiers in the city. They can't last much time. Now the Tang army is trying their best to block the gate of the outer city. If If we can’t break through the blockade and the gates of the city are blocked, our army will still not be able to pass through in large numbers and send them into the city!”

Shen Chengli also understood this truth, so he increased his troops.

"Increase troops, enter the city on all fronts!"

Shen Chengli increased his troops, and immediately more than 2 horses rushed forward like a tide
They want to destroy the city and wipe out thousands of Tang troops outside the city at the same time. Regardless of whether they conquer Runzhou or not, they have the upper hand today, ripping off a piece of meat from the Tang army and causing big trouble.

At this time, General Lu took several Du Yuhous to block the open space inside the Renhe Gate, which was the open space in the Wengcheng between the outer city wall and the inner city wall.

The Tang army gathered a lot, and the Wuyue spies and dead soldiers who were encircling and suppressing the common people were also resisting the continuous influx of Wuyue soldiers and horses. These people must be beheaded or driven out, and the city gates must be closed, otherwise, the city will be destroyed.

"Drive the Wuyue thieves out of the city."

The chief general Lu Jiang roared loudly, holding a big ring knife, sitting on horseback commanding the three armies, and charged forward.

Some archers stood on the inner city wall facing some groups of Wu Yue soldiers inside, and began to shoot arrows to assist the defenders in targeting this group of enemy troops.

Inside and outside the city, all of them were caught in a melee for a while, shouting to kill and shaking the sky, blood flowing like a purgatory.

Peng Qingqing looked at Su Chen and said: "Dehuamen is also in danger, let me go, Ma Chengjun stays there, I'm afraid the pressure will be too much alone.

Su Chen was a little worried about Jingjing's safety, but right now the city gate cannot be lost, so he said to her: "You and Jing Hong bring troops to help, you must guard the city gate, and at the same time, protect yourself!"

Peng Jingjing nodded: "I see, Brother Chen, don't worry. I will definitely complete this mission."

"Be careful!" Su Chen still did not forget to remind.

Peng Qingqing nodded with a smile, and led a thousand soldiers with Jing Hong, went down the tower, and rushed to Dehuamen immediately.

Now the entire southern city wall and city gate are fighting, and the smell of blood is so strong that it is unbearable to watch.

Su Chen stood on the tower, also full of worries, with a lot of emotion, when will this kind of war end?

There may be a few strokes in the history books, but if it really happens, it may be filled with the lives of countless soldiers and common people. It is very tragic and makes people doubt life.

The Runzhou defense line has reached a critical juncture, and the two gates of the southern city are in danger.

Lu Jiang personally held a big ring knife and led the troops forward. The soldiers were mainly spearmen and swordsmen, arranged in an orderly manner, forming an iron barrel formation, blocking the way of Wu Yue soldiers. As long as they guard here, Wu Yue soldiers The soldiers and horses behind cannot rush in.

Therefore, if Wu Yue soldiers want to break through the city, they must be here to tear through this human line of defense.

The old general Lu Jiang went into battle in person, boosting morale, and all the soldiers of the Tang army fought bravely.

Those spies and dead soldiers tried to force their way in, but were soon killed by spearmen and axemen. These spies were dressed in civilian clothes and had no armor. The short soldiers and picked up weapons could not keep up with them. Compared with the iron barrel formation and the Tang army who cooperated in collective operations.

Therefore, with the continuous compression of the formation, the Wuyue soldiers who had rushed into the city were constantly beheaded by the closely coordinated Tang army phalanx, like a meat grinder.

Cooperating with the orderly phalanx moving forward, Wu Yue's soldiers still rushed up in a chaotic manner, and were directly killed by the tightly coordinated formation.

Clang clang!
The sound of weapons clashing was orderly and orderly, and the team stepped forward with great momentum, stepping like a mountain, advancing in an all-round way, like a copper wall and an iron wall.

Wu Yuebing's continuous attack has been blocked, and the situation has reached a stalemate.

"Use iron cavalry to open a road!"

A commander of the Wuyue Army shouted loudly, mobilized cavalry, and charged inside.

I saw many cavalry rushing forward, galloping across the gate of the city, trying to charge into the iron formation of the Tang army with their horses.

Those horses rushed directly to the angled gun forest, and there was a bang bang bang sound. These horses and knights suddenly turned on their backs, almost suicidal impact, but hitting them also brought some damage to the iron barrel row .

This method of Wu Yuebing also had a certain effect, but it was only exchanged for the lives of the knights.

"Kill!"

There are more and more Wuyue soldiers rushing into the city, and nearly 1 people have piled up under the city wall, while Tang Jun Ma Xiong and others have become a lone army outside the city, and can no longer block the impact of so many Wuyue soldiers and horses; The door was occupied again, and the situation was quite critical.

Moreover, the Wuyue soldiers under the city had already used shields to cover them. Even the stones and rolling logs dropped from the city wall were blocked by the shield hands, and the arrows were also blocked by the shields. The soldiers quickly moved forward from the tunnel built by the shields. Rush forward; reduce the impact of arrows and stones, so that a steady stream of people will continue to pour into the city gate.

Breaking the city is only a matter of time.

At this time, Su Chen realized that the situation was not good, and felt that it would be too dangerous to continue like this, so he had to use other means.

So Su Chen thought of a kind of poisonous smoke that he had recently developed. He used sulfur and some irritating powders to mix together. Once ignited, a large amount of irritating smoke would be produced, pungent and pungent to the eyes. Make people stupor.

"Come here, bring those mugwort grass!"

Su Chen immediately gave an order to have dozens of bundles of mugwort grass taken from the tower, sprinkle several bundles of prepared wolf smoke powder on it in turn, and then said to the people at the top of the tower, "Light it immediately, and then throw it away." , Find a place with a lot of people, especially the gate of the city, and throw more."

"As ordered!"

The guards began to get busy. This mixture of sulfur and medicine powder, mixed and stirred, and ignited together with mugwort grass, emitted a thick yellow smoke, which had the effect of dazzling, choking the nose, and making people faint.

These Tang soldiers covered their mouths and noses with wet towels, and then threw them under the walls.

The smoke was billowing, and the Wuyue soldiers who were besieging the city below smelled it, their eyes were in tears and they coughed unceasingly. Some people directly fainted to the ground and passed out. The effect of floating this kind of yellow smoke is obvious.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Those shield players and cavalrymen fell off their horses after smelling the smoke, and the shield players also fell to the ground in a coma.

No matter the enemy or us, as long as they were smoked by the thick smoke, they would cough continuously, and then fell unconscious to the ground.

Some Wuyue soldiers fled around, lost their helmets and armor, and could not fight normally at all.

The defenders on the top of the city began to cover their mouths and noses with wet towels, reluctantly endured, and began to shoot arrows to kill the fleeing Wu Yue soldiers.

Wu Yue's army in the rear was shocked when they saw this strange yellow smoke rising.

Seeing this situation, Su Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, in this era, the use of chemical weapons is considered the first!
