The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 149 The Death of Wuzhou ([-])

Wanyanzhang no longer gave orders, but just stared ahead.

Right now, ordering is useless.

The soldiers didn't need to shout at all, rolling stones, kerosene, and arrows poured down the city continuously.Except for the city gate, no one cared about the side walls at all.

The Yuan army was full of infantry, and except for the siege vehicles, no other siege weapons were used at all.There are a small number of catapults, all of which are still in the formation of the Chinese army, and there is no sign of pushing them up at all.

Like moths to a flame, they just kept rushing towards the city gate.

And in this situation regardless of the cost, the Yuan army actually pushed the siege engine to the city gate only less than 10 minutes after the start of the battle.

The huge wooden hammer of the siege engine hit the city gate, making a clanging sound.

The soldiers of the Yuan army surrounded by the siege vehicles gritted their teeth and pushed the wooden hammers to strike forward again and again, while the Yuan army in the back drew their bows to return the blow to the Song army on the city.

The stone fell and smashed the heads of the soldiers of the Yuan army.But the siege vehicle was covered with a shield, and it was difficult for stones to destroy it.

In just a few minutes, hundreds of soldiers of the Yuan army fell at the city gate.

People continued to be shot to death by arrows or stoned to death, but there was always someone who quickly made up for it, pulling the rope and continuing to push the wooden hammer violently.

There were more Yuan troops who fell to the ground after being shot by arrows, and they were everywhere, and there was a scene of corpses strewn all over the field.

Qin Han had long since stopped standing at the top of the city, and walked to a place far away where arrows couldn't shoot, and was reading the book of war again.The noise from the side and the screams from the city seemed to not be able to arouse his heartstrings at all.

In the satellite villages on both sides, the soldiers did not shoot arrows to attack the Yuan army.

Seeing this scene, Kong Yuan didn't feel that something was wrong.He only thought that the Song army in the two cottages was going to wait until the city gate was struggling before releasing arrows to help.

At this time, in front of the south gate of Wuzhou City, the cry of killing finally sounded.The Yuan army began to attack the water village.

Wanyanzhang just frowned slightly, not particularly anxious.

They planted hidden piles in front of the water stronghold, and the river course was not wide enough for the large ships of the Yuan army to deploy. Breaking through the water stronghold was by no means an easy task.

In the past ten minutes or so, more and more Yuan army corpses were under the city.

The soldiers pushing the siege engine were a little puzzled, because after such a long time, the city gate was only slightly swaying, but there was no sign of being knocked open at all.

Kong Yuan also frowned slightly, and ordered again, "Send another 5000 people to attack the city!"

The flag soldiers were ordered to wave the flag, and five more army formations in the Yuan army's front line attacked the city gate mightily.

Seeing this, Wanyanzhang just laughed, and turned his head to look at Qin Han, who was lying cat in the corner of the wall, with even more admiration in his eyes.

This man is truly a genius.

The Yuan army didn't know, but he understood that even if the Yuan army came with tens of thousands more, it would be difficult to break through the city without siege equipment.

why?
Because Qin Han had already ordered people to seal all the gates of the city with bricks.

In other words, behind the city gate are bricks, bricks several meters thick.The city gate is just a decoration, and there is a wall behind it, how can the siege engine break it?

This seems to be the death spot of Wuzhou City, but it is actually as solid as gold.Unless the Yuan army uses the Shenlong Cannon, it is impossible to break through the city gate.

But does the Yuan army have a dragon cannon?

It wasn't until another ten minutes passed that the corpses of the Yuan army under the city were already piled up, as many as thousands, and Kong Yuan finally realized that something was wrong.He frowned, and finally raised his hand and said: "Mingjin withdraws!"

No city wall can last for such a long time, he can be sure that Song Jun must have done something at the gate of the city.

Until now, the city gate has not been opened, which only shows that it is impossible for this city gate to be breached.If the fight continues, the soldiers will be lost in vain.

Soon there was a sound of Mingjin in the Yuan army.

The soldiers pushed the siege vehicles back like a tide.

The shouting and killing gradually ceased.

Qin Han, who was in the corner with the cat in the corner, raised his head suddenly, and shouted to Wan Yanzhang: "Order the green dragon and white tiger villages to shoot arrows."

Now Wanyanzhang is obedient to him, upon hearing this, he quickly gave orders to the commanding flag soldiers next to him.

Let the flag fly and the drums sound.Countless soldiers rushed out of the cottages on both sides, drew their bows and shot at the defeated Yuan army.

This caused countless losses to the Yuan army.

Except for the scattered corpses on the road in front of Wuzhou City, there are shining arrow feathers stuck everywhere.

When the Yuan army who was besieging the city finally ran back to the front of the Yuan army's formation and lined up again, it was already more than half lost, and there were always seven to eight thousand people.

Although Kong Yuan was mentally prepared, he was a little upset seeing such a huge loss.The main reason is that there is nothing wrong with the city gate. These thousands of people, apart from consuming a lot of stones and arrows from the Song army, it can be said that they have not achieved an inch of merit.

The scouts of the former army hurried back to report that the gate of Wuzhou city could not be breached.

Kong Yuan just nodded and said, "Well, I already know."

After finishing speaking, he pondered for a long while before saying again: "The catapult approached the city for a hundred steps and attacked the city wall."

A lieutenant standing next to him was a little dazed, and said, "General, you have already attacked the city with a catapult, how can this break the city?"

Kong Yuan said indifferently: "The Song army consumed our troops, and we can naturally consume theirs. If the general didn't expect it, the Song army should have sealed the city gate. We didn't bring siege equipment. If we want to To break the city, we can only find a way from the water village." His eyes looked towards the water village.

It's just that there are mountains blocking him, so he can hear the sound, but he can't see the situation in front of the water village.

In less than half a stick of incense, dozens of catapults of the Yuan army were pushed to about 400 meters in front of the city wall, and stones were thrown towards the city wall.

Only the catapult can hit this distance, even the ballista can't shoot so far.

There is no way to finish Yanzhang in the city, so he can only order the soldiers to fight back with catapults.They have hoarded countless stones these days, and they are everywhere on the city, so they don't worry about this consumption.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely strange.

When the two armies confronted each other, they only consumed each other with catapults.

The banners in the Yuan army's formation were whistling by the wind, but the army did not move at all.

Qin Han slowly stood up from the corner of the wall and said, "I'll go to the water village to have a look."

After speaking, he went on his own.

Undoubtedly, compared to the city gate, the battle at the water village was much hotter.

The warships of the Yuan army lined up along the river in front of the water village, and the nearest warship was only 200 meters away from the water village.

The two sides are also attacking each other with catapults, but apart from catapults, there are also many ballistas.The Yuan army's crossbow bolts were tied with fish-like red firecrackers, and when they were fired into the water village, they would make a loud noise and explode, but the power was pitifully small, not as powerful as the catapult.

This is because people in this era do not understand the ratio of gunpowder, and the gunpowder produced is only loud.

In front of the warships of the Yuan army, there are densely packed wooden stakes, only the sharpened tops protruding from the water.These wooden stakes blocked the warships of the Yuan army. Many Yuan soldiers embedded ropes in the wooden stakes, shouted loudly, and pulled them up with all their strength.The stake was gradually pulled out of the water, but at an extremely slow speed.

When Qin Han arrived, the frontmost warship of the Yuan army had already been battered by catapults, and it was about to sink.

Qin Han stood on the water stronghold and watched quietly for a few minutes, then turned around suddenly and looked behind.

Behind him is an endless river and mountains. "Five days...it should be about the same..."

Even with his talents, he never thought that less than ten thousand soldiers could stop Kong Yuan's army.The destruction of Wuzhou City is inevitable, it's just a matter of time.Because even if the soldiers can hold on, there are not so many arrows and stones in the city to consume.

Until this moment, when no one was paying attention, Qin Han's eyes showed a trace of worry, and he was no longer so confident.

Time slowly arrived in the evening.

The Yuan army in front of the city gate never attacked the city on a large scale, and retreated slowly.The warships of the Yuan army in front of the water village also retreated hundreds of meters and stopped attacking.

The soldiers of the Song army were exhausted, and some took advantage of this opportunity to lie down on the ground and fell asleep, regardless of the corpses beside them.

The Yuan army camped.

In the big tent, Kong Yuan sat at the head, and below were more than ten generals of the ten thousand commander level.

Kong Yuan put his right hand on the desk and propped his chin, looking a little dull, "Wuzhou City is as solid as gold, do you have a good plan?"

If he was given enough time, he would naturally be able to break through the city, but right now, he couldn't afford to wait, and maybe Ali Hague in Guangxi couldn't afford to wait either.

The generals are thoughtful.

It took about a stick of incense before someone said: "General, is it possible for us to send elite soldiers to sneak into the mountains and attack the enemy?"

"Wuzhou City is surrounded by walls on all sides, and it is difficult to walk deep in the mountains. I am afraid that sending some troops will not be able to break through the city." Someone immediately responded.

The general said: "The city gate is not good, but what about the water village?"

All the generals are slightly cold.

Even Kong Yuan's eyes sparkled, he nodded slightly and said: "This plan may be feasible. Although the mountain is steep, there are some people in our army who can walk on flat ground."

After finishing speaking, he immediately ordered: "Go and invite all the priests in the general!"

There are martial arts masters in Mr. Geli's tent, Ali Haiya also has them, almost every army has them, and Kong Yuan's army naturally also has them.

Although this era does not understand the strategy of special forces, in fact, many arms have begun to take shape.

On this night, when the night was slightly dark, hundreds of people from the Yuan army took advantage of the night to climb the mountain and went to the water village of the Song army.
