Han Shizu

Chapter 475 City Battle
In the early morning, a burst of white light appeared in the distant sky. In the southern city of Shouchun, the gates of the Han barracks were opened wide, the drums were beating, and the horns were contending, which alarmed the Tang soldiers guarding the city early.

Above the Wengcheng, most of the hundreds of guards were still dazed. They sensed the changes in the Han camp and hadn't reacted for a while.They guarded the city for almost the entire winter. Since Emperor Han personally commanded the army to besiege the city, they have been trapped for two months. They have not attacked for a day. After a long time, although there is He Jingzhu behind him, this psychological slack is the reason. Unavoidable, even numb.

Under the urn city, the commander of the city was curled up in a pile of thick hay, wrapped in a stained linen robe, sleeping comfortably.The city has been trapped for two months, as the defender, how can the military look be clean and tidy? One can imagine how the soldiers are like the officers.There was inevitably a stench in the air, but after today, it would be more bloody.
"Commander, there is a change in the Han army!" The hundred generals in the city rushed to report.

"What's the noise!" Sensing the sound, the city commander waved his hand and slapped the general, angrily said: "I heard it, it must be the Han army, and they are practicing martial arts again!"

"No, the commander should hurry up to the city to have a look, the Han army is about to attack the city!" Regardless of the burning pain on his face, the hundred generals said nervously.

Hearing this, the commanding officer in the city finally regained some light in his misty eyes, picked up the saber on his pillow, and walked out, cursing in his mouth: "If you lie about the military situation and disturb a certain dream, I will never forgive you!" you!"

He yelled fiercely, and when the commander of the Tang army rushed to the top of the city and saw the scene below the city, he suddenly woke up, and rubbed his eyes vigorously with his hand.The camp of the Han army was rampant, less than three miles away from the city, and the movements of the Han army were clearly visible.

A large number of Han troops poured out, forming an army formation with distinct layers, with battle flags fluttering and murderous aura.There are sword and shield formations on the left and right, and the spear and shield formations are deployed in the first half of the month. In the middle is a large bow and crossbow formation. There are [-] of them up, and about [-] horsemen cruise on both sides to support them.

The most important thing is those big guys who are slowly advancing from the Han barracks, throwing carts, ladders, and rushing carts.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Notify the general and report to Commander-in-Chief that the Han army is about to attack the city!" The panicked voice almost came from the voice of the commander in the city, and hurriedly ordered.Looking at the posture of the Han army, you can tell that this is definitely coming true.

As the commander of the city, guarding the front line and shouldering heavy responsibilities, he is certainly not an incompetent person.Immediately, all the guards on the city will be replaced. After all, the soldiers who have been on duty in the middle of the night are exhausted physically and mentally and have little combat effectiveness.At the same time, he urgently dispatched the soldiers under his command to keep them on high alert, while he himself counted the war weapons called "thunderbolt guns" by the Han army.

One, two, three. Soon I forgot to count, and there were continuous throwing carts from the Han army camp, which were pushed out by the Han army.

In the southern city of Shouchun, a large number of soldiers, young and strong, continued to replenish defensive supplies to the city head under the whip and scolding. Arrows, rolling stones, wood, bamboo rafts, and sand, dozens of pots had already been set up on the city. There was a fire, and the "golden soup" was brewing, and the whole place was busy and chaotic.

As soon as he learned of the actions of the Han army, He Jingzhu went to the city in his clothes and ordered the whole city to prepare for battle.In the city, in order to prevent the Han army from fighting, He Jingzhu made some emergency preparations in advance, but when the incident came to an end, the efficiency of the generals and schools below was still too low.

In the chaos at the top of the city, He Jingzhu's short body, like a pine and bamboo in the wind, stood firm and stared at the Han army outside the city.Under the south city, the Xiaodi army is the main force. The Han army's siege army formation has already been firmly established. The black armor and black flag are densely packed, which is very visually impactful.

In order to support the Xiaodi army's attack, Liu Chengyou mobilized many archers and crossbowmen from other armies to support him, allocated [-] arrows for their use, and added [-] cavalry troops to support them.

Of course, the most deterrent must be in the Han army formation. There are hundreds of thunderbolt cannons that occupy a lot of space. All the army formations are dominated by the guard "cannon formation".

After Liu Chengyou's personal conquest, he brought more than 100 Thunderbolt Cannons from Tokyo. After the soldiers approached Shouchun, they rebuilt nearly a hundred more with the help of craftsmen who followed the conquest.As for the kerosene bombs, he brought a total of [-]. With a wave of his hand, Liu Chengyou directly allocated [-] to Sun Li.

After preparing for more than an hour, the Han army has not yet launched an attack, just because the distribution of kerosene bombs and stone bombs has not yet been fully in place.

On the top of the wall, He Jingzhu took a deep breath and asked, "Is there any movement from the Han army in the other gates?"

Zhang Quanyue, the commander of the Baoxin Army, also followed him at this time, looking at the Han army formation outside the city with a solemn expression, and said: "I went to see, and all of them were dispatched, approaching the city wall, but it's not like there is a lot of movement in Nancheng. !"

"It seems that the Han army is mainly attacking the southern city!" He Jingzhu pointed to the Han army outside the city and said: "The Han army stationed troops under the city, and they did not send out for two months. They only retreated this winter, so they made this move. The momentum of their attack on the city is in full swing. Must send, must have the determination to destroy the city. Zhang Junshi, the south side of the city, the commander personally guards, and the other three gates, you will patrol, and sternly urge all the troops to guard the city!"

"He Gong take care!" Looking out of the city for a few more times, the black clouds were overwhelming the city, without any nostalgia, Zhang Quanyue saluted He Jingzhu, turned around and led the soldiers away.

Outside the city, in the formation of the Han army, Sun Li and Gao Huaide stood side by side, looking at the majesty and majesty of the army, their attitude was full of confidence.With a wave of his hand, he directly ordered: "First hit the city with stone bullets, and see how hard the city is!"

As the order was issued, the operators at the Thunderbolt Cannon immediately loaded the stone and launched it. Accompanied by a clear sound of ingenuity, the polished stone bullets attacked Shouchun City with strong force.

At the beginning, they were scattered, and most of them were inaccurate, but one after another, with the adjustment and correction of the throwing cars, although the strikes were still not accurate, at least they hit the city.

Faced with such attack methods, Tang Jun in the city could only suffer passively, suffer, and pray that he would not be hit.A stone bullet with the force of a thunderbolt, when touched by a mortal body, will either die or be disabled.

Seeing the guards on the city that were gradually turning into scurrying rats, He Jingzhu yelled fiercely, ordered his generals to restrain the soldiers, hacked and killed many people, and just now stabilized, forcing the soldiers to hide behind the city wall, trembling.

But for the unlucky ones who were hit, the dead were shocking, and the survivors screamed and screamed.In just over half an hour, the Han army fired nearly [-] stone bullets towards the city.

Although the city of Shouchun is strong, it is also full of scars. The damage to the Tang army is naturally not great, but the blow to the morale of the army is very serious.Although He Jingzhu wanted to face the flying stones of the Han army directly to increase the army's prestige, he was dragged by his own soldiers to avoid under the city.

Standing on the top of the wall, there were no flying stones, and the Han army's offensive came to an end temporarily, but He Jingzhu did not relax at all. He was clear that the Han army would use kerosene bombs again.I still vaguely remember that when the Han army attacked the city at the beginning of last year, the power of those kerosene bombs, even if they were prepared, still caused a lot of casualties, and the tragedy was astonishing.Even if there is not a shallow layer of sand on the city, it is still difficult to defend against.

"Quickly, prepare the bamboo rafts and put them on the wall!" He Jingzhu shouted.

Not long after, the Han army replaced the kerosene bombs as expected by He Jingzhu, and repeated the previous adjustments and launches.Compared with stone bullets, although the impact force is less than six, the destructive power and lethality are not the same.Even if He Jingzhu had taken precautions, this time, more than 1000 kerosene bombs burst out densely, and those sandy soil, bamboo rafts, etc., were just a drop in the bucket.

Looking at the head of Shouchun City, the flames are soaring, and thick smoke is everywhere. Even if it is more than one mile away, you can feel the poison of the fire.Listening to the howling, Sun Li enjoyed it all, and said in his mouth: "This dry Huai thief, who dares to resist, deserves to be burned!"

"General Qifeng, all [-] Thunderbolt bullets have been fired!"

Hearing the news, Sun Li couldn't help but licked his chapped lips, and said to Gao Huaide beside him, "It's for hiding. Although the stone bullets are powerful, and the fire bombs are poisonous, it's difficult to break through the city just by throwing cars. Siege the city with the blood and bravery of the soldiers, and occupy it with swords. Later, I will lead the army to charge the city, and you will command the army later!"

Hearing Sun Lizhi's words, Gao Huaide immediately persuaded: "They will all be the chief generals of the army, let me take the lead!"

"You don't need to fight with this general!" Sun Li immediately showed his fruitful side: "Scheduling in front of the battle is not my specialty. It is more suitable for this general to charge and kill in the city. Don't say more, this is a military order, take advantage of the city Head in a mess, set off immediately, don't miss the fighter plane!"

"Follow the order!" Upon seeing this, Gao Huaide immediately said.

Soon, Sun Li took the lead, the bow and crossbow array moved forward, and the arrows were used to suppress it. Shi, Chao Shouchun launched an attack.

Ant-attached sieges have always been tragic, even if the Han army is elite, it is the same, and you have to fight with your life.

　It is still not good at describing war scenes, and it is easy to water.
