Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 689
The weather the next day was a little gloomy, as if there was another heavy rain.

Early in the morning, Tang Jun brought siege equipment and came to the city of Jingzhou.

And Li Hedong, who got the news, had brought his people to the tower.

Seeing Tang Jun holding the siege equipment, Li Hedong showed a sneer of disdain. In his opinion, even if Tang Jun had such a sharp weapon as the Tang God Crossbow, it would be impossible to attack Jingzhou City.

The two sides didn't say much, and after some preparations, they directly started the siege.

On the side of the Tang army, they first used the Tang God Crossbow to cover their soldiers to cross the moat, and then transported the siege equipment to the city wall and began to attack the city.

On the side of the rebels, sharp arrows obstructed, and the two sides came and went.

At the beginning, the Tang army was better, covering the soldiers and horses to cross the moat smoothly, but when the siege really started, the effect of Datang God's Wrath was much reduced.

On the side of the rebels, sharp arrows, boulders, and rolling logs all shot at the soldiers on the ladder.

Tang Jun's ladder is not the same as in the TV series, it's just a ladder or something. Tang Jun's ladder can be fixed at the corner of the wall. Even if the enemy wants to push it, it is impossible to push the ladder down.

However, although the ladder cannot be pushed down, it is still very inclined, and it is not easy to attack the city tower.

In many places with good terrain, one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it. In fact, the defense of the city tower is not as bad as these places.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, siege has been a particularly difficult task. If it is not for the number of soldiers and horses several times that of the enemy, the chance of capturing the city is very low.

Especially when the rebel forces are not weak.

Although their morale is a bit low.

"kill……"

"kill……"

Tang Jun swarmed forward to kill, one after another Tang Jun was killed by the rebels, and soon, a lot of corpses piled up under the tower.

The lives of these men were lost just like that.

After Hou Junji and Su Dingfang saw this situation, their hearts were bleeding.

"Master Hou, if we continue to fight like this, we will lose all our soldiers and horses."

At first, Hou Junji really felt that there was nothing wrong with attacking the city, but seeing his soldiers being killed one after another, he began to feel distressed, and felt that the loss would be too heavy if the fight continued like this.

Qin Tian's eyes were fixed, and after a while he ordered: "Ming Jin withdraws troops."

This style of play is not good.

If more than half of the Tang army's life is the price to capture the city, it's not worth it. What's more, the soldiers and horses of the three of them were recruited after several efforts. Those who fought, if they were wiped out here, then all their hard work for the past half a year would have been wasted.

Tang Jun called for gold to retreat, and the soldiers retreated from Jingzhou City. Li Dongdong looked at the retreating Tang Jun, with a sneer on his lips. Tang Jun wanted to capture Jingzhou City with [-] soldiers and horses, which was simply fantastic.

In a decisive battle on the ground, his more than 4 soldiers and horses may not necessarily lose, let alone defend the city.

In today's battle, Tang Jun lost thousands, and he finally avenged yesterday's revenge.
-
The Tang army failed to attack the city and retreated.

Morale is a bit low.

In the big tent in the army, everyone looked at each other, a little angry, even Cheng Chumo was not as energetic as yesterday.

"His grandma, Jingzhou City is so difficult to attack..."

Cheng Chumo cursed, Qin Tian's expression was solemn, at this moment, Hou Junji said: "Master Hou, I heard that you can make a thing called a hot air balloon, which can carry people into the air. Back then, you even broke the Tuyuhun with this method. Now, why don't we do the same thing, send our soldiers into the city through the air, and then join forces inside and outside to capture Jingzhou City?"

After Hou Junji finished speaking, he looked at Qin Tian, ​​and Qin Tian smiled wryly: "General Hou, if no one knows about this method, it can still be used, but this thing has been passed on to the entire Tang Dynasty, as long as our people enter If it is in the air, Li Hedong will definitely send people to watch it closely, in that case, you can’t sneak in quietly, you will only be hunted down by the rebels on the ground, that’s not right.”

The thing about hot air balloons is surprise. If you lose this advantage, you will die.

Hou Junji's expression moved slightly, and he didn't continue to talk, but Su Dingfang didn't say much, anyway, the command right now is with Qin Tian, ​​and he should just leave it to Qin Tian.

The atmosphere in the big tent was a bit dull, Qin Huaiyu rested his chin and said: "It's a pity that we don't have good siege weapons, otherwise if we can attack the tower more easily, we should be able to fight the rebels based on our strength. "

"You didn't say what you said. The siege equipment used by my Tang army is already the most advanced, but there is still no way. In my opinion, there are too few soldiers. Why don't we recruit a group of soldiers and horses."

Cheng Chumo immediately reproached Qin Huaiyu's words.

Qin Huaiyu curled his lips: "Are soldiers and horses easy to recruit?"

The two of them were about to make a move while talking, Qin Tian stood up suddenly, the two of them were stunned, and asked at the same time: "Brother Qin, do you have a solution?"

Qin Tian's eyes flickered, and he said, "That's right, that's right, our siege equipment is still not advanced enough, we must improve it."

Making things with hands is Qin Tian's strong point, he can definitely make some powerful siege equipment.

Qin Tian began to get excited. He felt that the capture of Jingzhou City was just around the corner. Everyone saw him like this. Although they were curious about what siege equipment Qin Tian could make, they didn't ask much. They just hid this expectation in their hearts.

Because they knew that Qin Tian would definitely be able to make some siege equipment.

Everyone retreated to rest, and Qin Tian began to think about what siege equipment to make.

In his cognition, the best thing to attack a city is naturally the red cannon, which is so powerful that it can directly bomb the city wall.

However, gunpowder is not easy to make, and now is definitely not the time to make gunpowder, at least in Qin Tian's view.

This kind of weapon with huge lethality will intensify the death of human beings. Moreover, he is not sure whether Datang will cause tragic harm to the entire human being after possessing gunpowder.

This reason is too lofty, but it is not without reason.

In the bones of the people of the Tang Dynasty, there is fanatical blood. They are warlike and not afraid of war. This is different from the Song Dynasty. What a death to the whole world.

But Tang is different. Qin Tian tried to think that if Tang had gunpowder, the territory of Datang might increase several times, but for the entire human race, it would be a kind of destruction.

Uncertain things, of course, cannot be done, and it is not easy to do, for the current Qin Tian.
