The Tianshan army seemed calm and composed before launching an attack, but when they really wanted to attack, they were as fierce as tigers. They had a large number of people and occupied an absolute advantage. Everyone hoped to make some money in the battle of attacking Hezhou City. Credit is in hand.

The soldiers and horses of the Tianshan Army have their own responsibilities, and the cavalry and infantry are divided into systems. Among them, there are engineering troops who are specially responsible for using siege weapons. , but took the lead in starting to make full use of the siege weapons they had at hand, and the huge stones were transported to the front. Just after midnight, the Tianshan army formation was already full of drums.

Dozens of catapults crashed into stones amidst the sound of drums, and after the general gave an order, countless boulders flew towards Hezhou City one after another like meteorites from outside the sky.

The boulder whizzed past in the air, hitting the city wall like raindrops.

The defenders knew that the Tianshan army would attack fiercely, but when the battle broke out, they realized that the opponent's power was stronger than expected. He kept throwing stones to Hezhou City, and did not hesitate to store boulders.

On the west wall of Hezhou City, under the heavy impact of the first wave of boulders, many holes appeared on the wall, and some boulders were thrown on the top of the city, smashing the battlements, and dozens of soldiers were smashed by the boulders. Dead and smashed.

Han Ying shouted loudly and ordered the defenders to stick to their posts.

As soon as the battle started, the defenders were under tremendous pressure, and there was an endless stream of roaring boulders. Although the soldiers at the top of the city stood firm, they retreated a little. The archers retreated for the time being, and the shield soldiers stepped forward. The shield wanted to block the boulders that occasionally flew to the top of the city, but the boulders were not small, and coupled with the powerful momentum, if they were to be smashed, no matter how strong the shield was, they could not resist the incoming boulders.

Fortunately, there are not many huge boulders that can fly up to the top of the city. Some of the stones have fallen down before they get close to the city wall. Most of the stones that hit Hezhou City hit the city wall.

The northwest city was not as strong and solid as the inside of the pass, and the city was not too high. The continuous huge boulders came over, and soon the west wall was already full of potholes, and even some places were forced out of holes by the boulders.

Han Ying knew that in the face of the impact of the boulder, there would inevitably be holes in the city wall. If these holes were halfway up the city wall, it would be fine. If there were a large number of holes at the base of the wall, when the place rushed over, the holes made by the boulder would be the breakthrough point. , swarming in.

He immediately sent people to inform Huang Yutan, mobilized the logistics team, and paid close attention to the situation at the base of the city wall. As long as there was a hole, he would immediately repair it in time. repair.

The defenders were almost unable to lift their heads under the first round of boulders from the Tianshan Army. The most hateful thing was that the opponent used long-distance catapults, but the soldiers were not in a hurry to charge. The location of the catapults was not where bows and arrows could reach. , there are small catapults at the top of the city, and the distance is slightly short, and because the opponent has a lot of catapults, and the boulders are flying continuously, several small catapults are actually damaged by the boulders at the top of the city.

From the beginning of the war, it was obviously not conducive to the defenders.

When the stone-throwing troops showed their prowess, the troops behind also began to form a formation. Each infantry team formed a small square formation, and every five small square formations merged into a central square formation, and every three middle formations formed a central formation. Form a large square formation. The Tianshan infantry outside the west gate assembled into five large square formations. The small square formations had the generals of the small square formations, who obeyed the command of the central formation, while the three central formations Commander, you have to obey the orders and flags of the generals of the large phalanx.

For Zhu Lingyue, taking down Hezhou City is something in his pocket. It is also a wonderful thing to take this opportunity to experience the combat experience and coordinated operations of the Tianshan Army.

During the siege, the most powerful black wind cavalry platoons in the Tianshan Mountains were not of much use. They spread out behind the two wings of the infantry phalanx. The drums were rumbling, and the momentum was astonishing.

For the cavalry, as long as Hezhou City is breached, it is time for them to show their might.

The trench has been filled, and as long as the gap is opened, the cavalry can rush forward and attack the city. Once the elite cavalry enters the city, they can control the entire city in the shortest time.

On the eve of dawn in early spring, there was mist floating in the air, crowds of people's heads, in the faint mist, the number of human heads was so dense that it was impossible to count.

Naturally, the Tianshan Army could not have an inexhaustible supply of boulders to attack the city. They continuously used catapults to throw boulders at the city. Although the defenders in the city were under great pressure, the catapult troops had fewer and fewer stones.

With the sound of a loud horn, the first infantry formation in the front began to move forward slowly, with densely packed long legs stepping on the ground, following the sound of forward footsteps, the leading general swung his knife and shouted: "Zhu Du has an order that the first person to attack the city will be rewarded with 300 taels and be promoted to three ranks. Brothers, take Hezhou City and kill him in one fell swoop!"

"Kill! Kill!"

Shout out to shake the mountains.

Swords are like mountains, guns are like forests, under the firelight, the swords and guns of the Tianshan Army are as dazzling as the sun shining on the surface of the sea.

The phalanxes of the siege teams have also begun to move forward, and the speed is getting faster and faster. After crossing the first filled trench, there is no movement on the top of the city. Rolling over, a strange sound suddenly sounded, and the dark sky seemed to suddenly darken. The charging Tianshan Army soon saw that the sky made a "buzzing" sound, and a large number of flying arrows covered it like clouds. In the sky above, the dark clouds instantly turned into raindrops, pouring down.

The arrows were so dense that the Tianshan soldiers rushing to the front immediately screamed again and again, and many of them were shot into hedgehogs in an instant.

Almost at the same time, the defenders at the top of the city saw that the Tianshan Army had rushed into the range, and immediately started a small catapult. Among the locust-like arrows, stones also fell from the sky like raindrops. These stones were no match for the Tianshan Army. The huge boulder thrown by the catapult was huge, but the rapid momentum was enough to cause fatal damage to the Tianshan Army.

The Tianshan Army's stone-throwing troops did not stop, they still filled the catapults with the few remaining boulders, and slammed them on the city frantically, trying to suppress the counterattack of the defenders.

For a moment, the battlefield in the west of the city was like a volcano erupting suddenly. Countless arrows covered the sky, and stones even slid back and forth in the air like raindrops.

In this terrifying volcano, even though the soldiers carefully protect themselves, random arrows do not have eyes, and they shoot into the vitals of the human body from time to time, and the stones are even more powerful. When they are shot down on the flesh and blood, the flesh and blood The body is as fragile as paper, and can be smashed into meat sauce in an instant.

Before the confrontation, the soldiers on both sides had their own feelings, such as excitement, fear, and apprehension, but when they actually entered the battle, there were only terrible nightmares, screams, groans, blood, death, screams one after another, and arrow rain. Flying around in the air like locusts, and the sharp sound of arrows piercing through the air filled the entire space, forcing the fighters on both sides to quickly turn into anger because of the deep fear, the anger burned in their chests, and the bloodthirsty human The nature is only aroused in a short period of time.

The Tianshan Army has indeed undergone rigorous training, and many soldiers are already very proficient in combat skills, but training and war can never be compared. Soldiers for the war, the Tianshan Army has strict discipline, and at the beginning of the charge, they can maintain a neat formation, but under the brave counterattack of the defenders, the formation is still somewhat chaotic after all, although most of the soldiers are still roaring forward As they charged forward, the reunion speed of a small group of soldiers had already slowed down, and even a very small part stood still.

It's just that they don't understand that at this time, the best choice is to rush forward bravely. Only by defeating the enemy can they truly protect themselves. On the battlefield, it is most taboo to hesitate and not be killed by the enemy. But they forgot that behind them, there was a serious law enforcement team.

Although the cavalry behind the two wings of the Tianshan Army did not charge, they followed nearly a thousand cavalry directly behind the infantry phalanx. These cavalry were law enforcement teams on the battlefield, and their duties were simple. The order to retreat, once a soldier stagnates or even retreats privately, whether it is a soldier or a general, law enforcement teammates can shoot and kill them with all their strength.

The law enforcement team is a group of the most ruthless soldiers. They gallop back and forth between the various targets, shouting loudly, helping the generals to scold the soldiers for charging, but when they see someone retreating, they immediately kill them mercilessly.

"Rush, rush, those who advance will be rewarded, those who retreat will die!"

The defenders were obviously well prepared. The soldiers fought back bravely at the top of the city to block the enemy troops approaching the gate, while the logistics team sent arrows and stones to the top of the city in an endless stream. The arrows were endless and the stones were like mountains.

Although the Tianshan Army's charge indeed suffered great losses, and in a short while, countless bloody corpses were lying on the land outside the city, but amidst the sound of battle drums, the Tianshan Army still tried their best to charge forward. Under the attack of arrows and stones, the speed of advancement cannot be said to be very fast, but it is still approaching the city wall bit by bit.

It seems that the casualties on our side are a bit too large, and the Tianshan army formation is sounding horns again. The orderly risked his life to convey instructions to the charge generals. Lifting the shield over the top was well-trained, and the shield soldiers quickly formed a huge steel protective cover above.

However, Han Ying walked back and forth at the top of the city, giving orders continuously. The catapult at the top of the city adjusted quickly. Just as the Tianshan shield array was slowly approaching, he heard strange voices coming from the sky again. Looking up through the gap, I saw countless stones smashed down against the shield. Those stones fell from the sky with a shrill sound of wind, and fell into the dense shield phalanx like thunder.

The defenders at the top of the city had already concentrated their catapults, and all the catapults only attacked the shield array.

The densely packed Tianshan shield soldiers couldn't dodge at all, and no shield could withstand the huge impact of the stones. Large groups of them were smashed into meat paste, and their brains were splashed.

Many Tianshan soldiers were very angry, but they lamented that the Xiguan army was so unruly. All along, the catapults were used to attack the city, but the Xiguan army did not abide by the principle, and improved the catapults, making such a A group of small catapults came, and their power was far more fierce than soldiers smashing down from the top of the city. Not only did they have a stronger impact, but they also had a longer range. These small catapults did indeed bring great damage to the Tianshan Army. trouble.
