Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1388
boom.

With a loud bang, the city wall of the Seventh Layer City was hit hard by a huge boulder, and a large piece of the rocky city wall was knocked down.

Fan Yuan wiped the sweat off his face, and looked at the first shot with some excitement.

The first shot hit, good sign.

"When I conquered Liaodong back then, if there were such magical cannons, Goguryeo would have perished long ago, and hundreds of thousands of Han men would not have lost their souls to foreign lands."

Fan Yuan is the commander of the Shenji Battalion, a stout man in his 40s and a veteran.He once participated in the Battle of the Liao Dynasty with a million-strong army of the Sui Dynasty. Under the city of Liaodong, he once climbed the ladder with the rolling wooden stones and the golden soup of bows and arrows of the Goguryeo defenders. It was an extremely tragic siege battle, with countless casualties.

Finally, a gap was opened and a section of the city wall was captured. As soon as the defenders shouted to surrender, Emperor Yang Guang stopped the attack and withdrew their soldiers and horses. The knife continued to resist.

It would be great if there were such sharp magic cannons at that time.

"Come again!"

Fan Yuan roared.

His artillery battalion is the treasure of the soldiers of Dongming County. The core deterrent force, although the number is not large, can have a lot of magic machine cannons. The magic machine cannons with standardized parts are easy to disassemble and assemble, and can be used for transportation.

After dismantling, it becomes a cart of parts, which can be transported by horse-drawn cart on the main road, or even on a mountain road, it can be carried by a horse.

Once on the battlefield, it can be quickly assembled, especially the standardized parts, which are extremely convenient for maintenance.

The giant Shenwei general who threw three hundred catties of stone bullets, the counterweight stone box was slowly lifted by the ratchet.

A gunner held the wooden hammer tightly and struck down hard.

The machine buckle was opened, and the heavy weight box fell suddenly, and the stone bullets in the throwing basket at the other end of the boom were violently thrown out.

The three-hundred-pound boulder bomb was simply polished into a round shape, which greatly improved the accuracy of the projectile.

The boulder roared.

It smashed hard on the gate tower of the Seventh Layer City, and the gate tower was instantly wiped out.

Boulder bombs were thrown out one after another.

There are also trumpeted General Shenji, Captain Shenji, etc. who are behind them also launch in turn.

Yao Ayuan was wearing an iron breastplate, an iron helmet on his head, holding a spear tightly in his hand, and staring straight ahead.His mouth was wide open, and it was the first time he had seen the mighty mighty general exert his strength.

Really worthy of the name of the great general ah.

Several people couldn't lift such a huge rock, but the mighty general was able to throw him hundreds of steps away, shaking the solid mountain city wall.

"The seventh city can no longer be defended."

The team leader next to Yao Yuan said that this team leader is a militiaman from his hometown, an immigrant from Hebei, and it is said that he also served as a county soldier in his early years.

"The Seventh City should be able to hold on for a while, right?" A Yuan's mouth was a little dry. The Seventh City is a mountain city with a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially the Silla defenders in the city will be stubborn.

"It can't be defended. Once our magic machine gun shows its power, no matter how powerful the city is, it only needs to hit him for an hour, not to mention smashing the city gate and collapsing the city wall, but it will definitely knock down the houses behind the city wall." There are countless, and the artillery battalion also has a trump card. They also have black fire bombs and poisonous smoke bombs. ?”

A Yuan nodded, feeling that the leader of the team deserved to be a county soldier who had knowledge.

"Everyone, hurry up and take a rest, drink some water for those who are thirsty, and resolve those who are urgent to urinate on the spot. After a while, the artillery battalion has played its prestige, and we, the infantry, will finally have to climb to the top of the city and occupy the city. "

No matter how strong the artillery and cavalry are, they still have to rely on their infantry in the last step of the city's offensive and defensive battle.

A Yuan immediately tightened his grip on the barrel of the gun. He had already made two rounds of merit before, and now he was looking forward to making some more contributions.

The team is taking out two balls of cotton to plug their ears, so that they will not be afraid of the loud noise.

A Yuan reached out to touch the water bottle and drank a couple of sips. He didn't dare to drink more, fearing that he would be affected by the urgency of urination when he fought, so he only took two sips to moisten his lower lip and throat.

The Shenji Battalion did exactly what the team leader said.

At first it was a thunderstorm slamming on the city, but soon it began to extend forward.

General Shenji still slammed the city wall and gate, while the small catapults of General Shenji and Colonel Shenji had already started smashing towards the back of the city wall.

After smashing it for a while, they began to replace it with black fire bombs made of kerosene and poisonous smoke bombs made of various herbs and wolf dung.

In the Seventh Layer City, flames began to blaze everywhere, smoke filled the air, and there were constant shouts of panic in the city.

It can be seen that the defenders and civilians in Qizhong City are a little bit broken.

They had never seen this kind of siege method before, and there were no infantrymen everywhere carrying ladders and pushing carts to attack the city.

I didn't even see anyone, but the sky was full of stone bombs, fire, rain and poisonous smoke.

About an hour later.

The infantry of the Junzhongfu Battalion stepped forward, and the Che Nu Battalion pushed to the front. A huge crossbow began to roar and fire, and the crossbow guns as thick as chicken eggs were shot to the city head and wall.

Immediately afterwards, the crossbowmen of the government camp stepped forward and fired intensively at the city.

The rain of arrows filled the sky, blocking out the sun.

The captain picked up the water bottle and took a sip of water, "Get ready for battle."

Sure enough, the order came quickly from above.

The militiamen of A Yuan's regiment were ordered to cooperate with the infantry of the government battalion to approach the city wall under the cover of bows and crossbows, and fight against the city.

The supply regiment brought a lot of siege equipment, which were built in advance and can be easily disassembled and installed. The engineers had already assembled a series of ladder vehicles, lookout vehicles, rush vehicles, battering rams, trench bridges, etc. .

The sound of the horn.

The shield soldiers held huge shields as high as people to form a shield wall at the front.

Followed by sword players, with a shield protecting the top of the head and a horizontal knife in the other.

The crossbowmen stood still and continued to shoot arrows to suppress the city.

As a spearman, A Yuan walked at the back with the militiamen of the same team. They belonged to the reserve of the infantry of the government battalion. The elite infantry of the guard government followed behind.

A Yuan and his companions were pushing a cart covered with rawhide with all their strength. This cart was very tall, with a frame made of wood, with boards nailed on the outside, and covered with fireproof cowhide.

The archers and infantry hid on the upper level of the car, while A Yuan and other militiamen were responsible for pushing the wheels forward in the car underneath. It was relatively safe in the car. No one would fall down, just listen to the noise of fighting on the battlefield, put your head down and push the cart hard.

"hurry up!"

The stout Hebei team leader kept shouting, and A Yuan and his fellow militiamen shouted and pushed hard, wishing to push the car directly to the top of the city.

Suddenly there were countless shouts outside.

"what happened?"

A young militiaman couldn't help asking.

At this moment, shouts and cheers came from above the rush car.

Some archers shouted to them from above, "The jumping soldiers in front have already boarded the city first, opened the city gate, and the city is broken!"
