Chapter 66 The Battle of Pingcheng ([-])

"Boom, boom, boom"

"woooooo"

In the early morning of winter r, the wind is icy cold.On the vast battlefield, there are war drums and horns sounding together, military flags and general flags flying together, a murderous scene

The 16 Beiyan army surrounded the huge Pingcheng city tightly, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the tall and majestic city wall not far away.

Hundreds of phalanxes of thousands of people are lined up neatly outside the city wall, waiting for an order, and they are about to pounce on it

A ballista, a siege vehicle, and a catapult are lined up in the army formation, ready to go

Outside the north gate of Pingcheng, where the Beiyan army was attacking, Xue Wanche rode on the back of Heifeng, squinting his tiger eyes slightly, scanning the movement on the city wall.

Looking from a distance, there are neither flags nor Fusang defenders on the city wall, and there is not even half a sound coming out. It is dead silent, as if it is a defenseless empty city.

Xue Wanche frowned slightly and said: "It seems that the commander of the Fusang garrison is also a man who knows the soldiers. He is calm on the surface, but in fact he has hidden murderous intentions. He didn't put the garrison on the top of the city, because he knew the power of our ballistas and catapults." "

Then, Xue Wanche changed the subject: "Hmph, even if you're as cunning as a ghost, I'm going to squeeze you into a round shape."

As soon as the voice fell, he immediately ordered loudly: "Order the whole army to start attacking the city"

The herald next to him received the order and waved the red and white flag in his hand high, conveying Xue Wanche's order.

In this battle, Xue Wanche didn't use any tricks, nor did he have any scheming. He just set up a formation, relying on the advantages of the number and combat strength of the Beiyan army, and the vigor of winning consecutive victories and invincibility, to storm Pingcheng

At Xue Wanche's order, the first thing to attack is the hundreds of ballistas

"Bang bang bang" sound of machine springs and crossbow strings bursting out one after another. The ballista, which required eight strong men and a winch to pull open, shot out the crossbow bolt that was as long as a person and as thick as a child's arm in an instant. .

The crossbow arrows weighing tens of catties roared and went straight to the city wall

"Bang bang bang" Hundreds of crossbow arrows, like fired cannons, plunged straight into the six or seven feet high city wall built with huge stones.

After a series of loud noises, the section of the city wall that was bombarded by the ballista shook suddenly.And the crossbow arrow, which is as long as one person, has penetrated into the city wall for more than a few feet, leaving only a small half exposed.

The next attack was the dozens of trebuchets

A trebuchet five or six feet high, almost as high as the city wall of Heping City, required a dozen oxen to pull it, and more than a dozen people to turn it freely.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" the long stone throwing arm drove the round stone the size of a washbasin to spin half a circle quickly, and then threw the boulder weighing more than 100 kilograms high in one fell swoop.

The round boulder drew an arc in the air, and after flying about two hundred feet, it smashed hard onto the city wall.

Immediately, the city wall that was hit shook violently, and rubble of various sizes collapsed down.

A few boulders did not hit the city wall, instead they flew over and smashed hard behind the city wall.

"what"

"idiot"

"Amaterasu God"

The Fusang people who were hiding behind the city wall screamed out in fright at the boulder falling from the sky, and a few unlucky ones were smashed into a pulp.A little bit luckier, his legs were broken by the rolling boulder, and he fell there crying for his father and mother.

But long-range strikes are far from over

"Boom, bang, bang"

"Woo, woo, woo"

The crossbow arrows from hundreds of ballistas pierced the city wall like a hedgehog

The boulders thrown by dozens of catapults, like meteorites, smashed the city wall full of holes

As for the Fusang people hiding inside the city wall, they were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were torn apart when they heard the huge movement like a tsunami.

Although the Fusang Kingdom has fought a civil war for hundreds of years, when did it use such a big weapon on the battlefield?These Fusang soldiers have never seen such a powerful siege weapon, and they will inevitably be scared out of their wits

But whenever the ballista and catapult stopped for a while, some Fusang leaders would stand up and slap the Fusang soldiers who were so frightened out of their wits.

While these fusang leaders slapped their ears, they shouted loudly: "Baga, we are the people of His Majesty the Emperor, we are the descendants of Amaterasu, we are soldiers feared by Toyotomi Taiko, and we believe in the spirit of bushido We have the courage to kill all the northern swallow pigs"

"Kill all the northern swallow pigs"

"Kill all the northern swallow pigs"

Under the instigation of these leaders, the blood of Fusang soldiers was boiling, and they went to where they were. Their only thought was to break the jade of Fusang Empire and to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

But the overwhelming crossbow arrows and boulders will not stop attacking because of the high morale of the Fusang people.

Ballistas and catapults attacked for more than a dozen rounds, until they had to stop to replace damaged parts due to mechanical wear and tear.

However, Pingcheng is one of the three capitals of Goryeo, and the city wall is really tall and thick. Although it has been riddled with holes in the bombardment, it just survived and stood firm.

Seeing that the city wall hadn't been knocked down, Xue Wanche's expression remained unchanged, and he waved his hand and said, "Let the Iron Armored Battalion start attacking the city!"

The Iron Armored Battalion is also part of the Liaodong Army, with a total of more than 1 iron armored heavy infantry.

These armored heavy infantry soldiers are all strong and burly men, wearing full iron armor that is like a tortoise shell and weighs seventy to eighty kilograms, and at the same time holds a large iron shield of twenty to thirty kilograms, and can still move freely. .

The sharpness of this armored heavy infantry is no less than that of heavy cavalry.In the siege battle, the role of armored heavy infantry is far greater than that of heavy cavalry, and they are the backbone of the siege.

After receiving the order to siege the armored battalion, tens of thousands of armored heavy infantrymen were divided into more than [-] columns, carrying bags of sand, and began to charge upwards

Their task is not to go straight to the city wall from the very beginning, but to fill in the attacking path through the moat several feet wide.

Although the speed of the armored heavy infantry is not as fast as that of the cavalry, or even worse than that of the light infantry, tens of thousands of people are stepping on heavy steps at the same time, and even the ground is trembling slightly. The momentum is really amazing

But there was still no movement on the walls of Pingcheng.

Until the Iron Armored Battalion rushed within the range of the bow and arrow, dense crowds of human heads suddenly appeared on the wall, and they began to shoot arrows at tens of thousands of armored heavy infantry.

Seeing the movement on the wall, Zhou Hao, who was not yet his turn to make a move, narrowed his pupils slightly, and estimated the number of defenders on the wall with his extraordinary eyesight.

After a while, Zhou Hao already had the answer in his mind.

Only on this side of the city wall, there are more than 5000 Fusang archers lying on the wall and shooting arrows.

The dense rain of arrows continued continuously, piercing into the armored camp like locusts.
