Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 368 367. Battle!
"The whole army is ready!!"

Thirty miles outside Pingyuan County, there are two armies in Zhuxuan, where tigers squat.

Xiong Mao immediately ordered troops to make food and assembled the entire army.

at the same time.

The Pingyuan County defense is on standby, and the arrival of the Tiger Crouching Army and the Zhuxuan Army cannot be hidden from their spies and sentries.

now.

Cheng Yi was in a pretty good mood.

Because the sentinel reported that the number of enemy troops thirty miles away from the city was only 1000, which was not a big threat to him with a city defense force of [-] people.

To fight a city, it takes ten times more to defeat it.

Only then can the soldiers in the city feel timid.

And in siege warfare, the priority is to attack the heart. These ten thousand troops cannot even besiege Pingyuan County.

Today's Pingyuan County is impregnable despite Cheng Bushi's preparations. There are water sources, sufficient wells and food in the city. The granary in the city has gathered hundreds of miles of resources. With the transportation of the Chinese Army's grain road during this period, the grain and grass in the city have not been affected at all. No shortage.

The only thing that can still worry Cheng Yi is probably the Taiping Army rushing to help from Qiancheng and Qingzhou.

Nowadays, anyone who is not mentally retarded almost knows that behind the Taiping Army, the figure of Liao Hou Zhang Qi is looming. At this moment, the Northern Army is probably in danger, otherwise such an army would not come from the north.

"Is there any military order from the Chinese Army?"

At the Pingyuan County camp, Cheng Yi asked the soldiers.

The soldiers handed over their hands and said: "Reporting to the general, the military information was sent to Jinan three days ago, but the military order from the Chinese army has not yet been received!"

"Explore and report again!"

"promise!"

Now that enemy troops have appeared in Pingyuan County, the original guess of his uncle, the commander-in-chief Cheng Bushi, was correct. Cheng Yi sent back such important military information in order to make his uncle understand the overall situation more clearly.

"The order!"

"Strictly guard Pingyuan County and guard the enemy's southward advance. When the enemy is defeated, reward the entire army!"

"Follow the general's orders!"
-
Several dozen miles east of Pingyuan County.

"Commander Qu, the agreed time has come. The friendly troops from the North must have already prepared food and sent out troops."

"Ah."

"Then according to plan, block the three gates. When the so-called trumpet sounds, we will wait for a feint attack!"

"promise!"

"The whole army!"

"Get ready!!"

Sunny weather, blue sky, continuous white clouds casting shadows on the earth.

The goshawk soared above the nine heavens and circled. Suddenly, its wings swelled, and its whole body swooped down like an arrow from the string, speeding down from the nine heavens.

With its wings fluttering, the goshawk slid past an orderly army. Their line was spread out, and they stabilized their formation within three miles of Pingyuan County.

"Wear armor!!"

After the tigers squatted in the army, Xiong Xuan ordered loudly and trained for three years. With the help of the auxiliary soldiers, Xiong Xuan's army changed clothes very quickly.

The total strength of the two armies is more than [-], including [-] tiger crouching soldiers, [-] main force of the Zhuangxuan Army, and the rest are auxiliary troops to assist the Zhuangxuan Army.

With a hundred pounds of equipment on their upper body, the momentum of the Zhuxuan Army at this moment has been fully demonstrated.

The solemn, heavy, dark-colored armor invisibly brings tremendous pressure to people.

As soon as the beast mask was covered, the entire army looked like a ferocious beast that snatched people away and devoured them.

Bang bang bang.

Xiong Yan came to Zhao Xuanji's side with heavy steps.

The voice sounded rough and muffled through the animal mask.

"Brother Zhao, I'll wait until it's complete!"

"Okay! The power of Zhu Xuan is so powerful! Our tiger-crouching soldiers are willing to clear the way for the army!"

"Tiger crouching with the whole army!"

"Enter!!"

"call!"
-
"General! Here they come!"

In the north city gate tower, the hanging basket quickly pulled two or three sentinels up to the city.

"Generals!"

"exist!"

"Prepare to fight and kill the enemy!"

"promise!"

Three thousand to four thousand Han troops responded in unison. The rewards promised in front of the station had already boosted their morale. Coupled with the convenience of city defense, every Han army was full of confidence at this moment.

"Report—!"

There was another urgent announcement.

Cheng Yi felt something in his heart and nodded slightly.

"Come closer and speak." "But the Taiping Army is nowhere to be seen?"

"Report to General, that's right!"

"They have divided their forces into three groups and are besieging the south, east, and west walls!"

"Let the generals strictly abide by your orders. In this battle, I have the advantage!"

"promise!"

The messenger quickly conveyed military orders to the guards on the other three walls without stopping at all.

It's three quarters past noon.

Three hundred cannons have advanced to less than two miles in Pingyuan County.

"Generals, listen to the order! Three guns form one combat unit, one artillery point, measure the range!"

"Three meters away from 920, the view is unobstructed!"

"Cannon barrel adjustment!"

The calculation soldier holding the telescope quickly calculated the ballistic trajectory, and the data from his mouth turned into words on the paper, and then passed to the gunner.

"Cannon body in position!"

"The angle is right!"

"Confirmed!"

The gunner who obtained the data dropped the cannon's fixture, and then adjusted the gun body and angle.

"Pharmaceutical pack filled!"

"Load it in place!"

"Grease!"

"Apply in place!"

After adjusting the position and angle of the artillery, the loaders responsible for loading began to clean the barrel and stuff the gunpowder and projectiles.

A heavy round stone bullet is held in the hands of a crouching tiger artilleryman.

He stood on the right side of the cannon, while a man on the left held a cotton swab and pushed the projectile deep into the barrel.

"Ready!"

"Ready!"

"Ready!"

"."

Three hundred cannons were lined up in a group of three, stretching for several miles, covering almost the entire northern city wall within the range of artillery fire.

After the Tiger Crouching Army, the soldiers of the Zhuxuan Army sat on high stools to save their energy.

Ears and the others had already prepared and taken precautions, and now they were just waiting for the city to be broken.

"What are they doing?"

Cheng Yi frowned at the unseen tactics.

At the same time, an extremely bad thought arose in his mind.

"The city defense crossbows will be aimed at their weird round tubes!"

"General. Distance"

The captain on the side was a little unsure. He was using the big yellow crossbow at this moment. Wouldn't that be a waste of military equipment?

"I don't know?! Shoot for me!"

Cheng Yi glared at the captain, his mouth cold.

"promise!"

"Cring the crossbow!"

One after another, the command flags were lit up on the city wall.

With a creaking sound, dozens of crossbows began to be cocked and ready to go.

"shooting!"

"shooting!"

Whoosh whoosh--!
Boom boom boom!
Almost at the same time, the roar completely resounded throughout the land, covering up the whistling sound of the bed crossbow.

On the city wall, the vibration was violent.

"Return the gun body to its position and adjust it!"

"Clean the barrel! Load again!!"

"Report! Someone is injured!"

"Substitute someone on top, and the auxiliary soldiers will take the injured back for treatment! Hurry!"

The stimulation of dozens of crossbows caused the Tiger Crouching Army to suffer some casualties, but due to the accuracy of the crossbows, there were not many injured, only a few.

"Synchronize and synchronize! Avoid shaking and transferring the gun body!"

The command flag flashed in the Tiger Crouching Army formation, and soon the gunners adjusted their angles again.
