Soldiers come to the world

This is the first bloody siege of the Han army in the true sense. Although everyone knows that the siege will pay a tragic price, this is war, and cruelty is the essence of war.

The command flag was waved, and the attack drum sounded, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of the drum resounded across the field.

The [-]-blade shield army located outside the Nancheng launched the first round of offensive, and the [-]-blade shield army swarmed like a tide. They carried several long wooden planks, held their shields high, and rushed towards the city wall shouting. , They needed to fill up the three trenches in front of the city wall with planks to create conditions for the siege army behind.

The iron arrows were like heavy rain, and the sword and shield army was still hundreds of steps away. The defenders at the top of the city began to shoot. Iron arrows with a length of one foot and five inches were shot from three hundred bed crossbows at the same time. Roaring and shooting at the sword and shield army, the heavy shield of the hard shield can't stop the iron crossbow arrows that can pierce gold and crack rocks. The iron crossbow shot through the heavy shield of the sword shield army, and the Han soldiers screamed fell to the ground.

At the same time, on the top of the city, more than a dozen trebuchets of Cao Jun began to creak and pull away. Since they were attacking from top to bottom, the power of the trebuchets became even stronger.

A stone the size of a millstone was put into the throwing pocket, and the lieutenant general Hao Zhao gave an order, and thirteen trebuchets were launched at the same time, and the 13-yuan boulder was thrown high, rolling in the air, drawing arcs , slammed into the dense crowd.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and there were screams everywhere. Several soldiers of the Tuhan Army were unable to avoid it, and were smashed into meatloaf by the boulder. The huge inertia made the stone roll along the slope in the crowd, and it was extremely fast. , Rolling out for more than forty steps in a row, the soldiers of the Han army tried their best to dodge to both sides, but still five or sixty people died under the impact of more than a dozen boulders, and hundreds of people were injured, bones and tendons were broken, and there was a sound of wailing.

Immediately after the second, third, and fourth rounds of catapult shooting, accompanied by the firing of bows and crossbows by the [-] Cao Jun at the top of the city, the arrows on the top of the city were like rain, and there were heavy casualties under the city. If it is dropped, dozens of people will be killed or injured. It is simply a machine for killing people, causing heavy casualties to the Han army.

The role of trebuchets in defending the city is unparalleled. In the Battle of Guandu ten years ago, Cao Jun, who was slightly weaker, used hundreds of giant trebuchets to kill tens of thousands of Yuan Jun, laying the foundation for the glorious victory of the Battle of Guandu. established a solid foundation. [

Although Liu Jing founded the School of Craftsmanship and introduced a large number of skilled craftsmen such as Ma Jun to carry out military inventions and creations, and made brilliant achievements repeatedly, the Cao army in the north is equally powerful in military weapons, and their experience in attacking and defending cities is far superior to that of the southern army. .

In Xicheng, Cao Jun used the most powerful trebuchets in the northern army, causing huge losses to the attacking Han army. Chenghe dyed the fallen boulders red, and the Han army lost thousands of people in just one attack.

Although the casualties were heavy, the Sword and Shield Army still laid planks on the three ravines, creating conditions for the attacking troops behind. The Han Army's [-] Bow and Crossbow Army had rushed to about a hundred steps, and it was out of the attack of the trebuchets. area.

Eight thousand crossbowmen shot at the top of the city at the same time, and nearly ten thousand arrows were fired at the top of the city. The dense arrows shot at the top of the city like a storm. Looking up again, Cao Jun's archers were quickly suppressed.

As the attacking drums of the Han army sounded again, the [-] spear troops erupted into shouts of killing, braving the boulders rolling over their heads, and carrying the siege ladder.

The [-] troops were arranged in four phalanxes, and each phalanx was separated by a hundred steps, just like four huge black carpets, undulating and advancing on the ground. The morale of the army was high and their murderous aura was high. They approached the city wall from two miles away. , The drums sounded like thunder, the horns pierced the sky, the flags covered the sky and the sun, the spears were like forests, and the shields were like mountains, all of which appeared black of death under the sunlight.

The main attacker, Zhao Yun, rode on his horse and pointed at the city with his saber, "Forward!"

"Woo~~"

The sound of the low-pitched horn resounded through the sky and the earth, and more than a dozen wooden buckets were erected in the middle of each team, which were used to resist flying stones on the city. With the sound of huge wheels under the wooden buckets, the team began to slowly Kill to the city wall.

There was also loud drumming on the top of the city, Xia Houyuan's eyes were red, and he roared again and again. Although he knew that this was just a tentative attack by the Han army, the opponent invested more than [-] people, which still put him under tremendous pressure.

Xia Houyuan continued to mobilize his troops, invested 1 people in the defense of the southern city, and personally commanded the battle.

At this time, Xia Houyuan found that the arrows of the crossbowmen below the city were too fierce, suppressing the archers at the top of the city, and they were very passive. Xia Houyuan shouted anxiously: "Change the longbow, bring the arrows up..."

"Asshole! Go move the stones first, prepare the trebuchet!"

The thirteen heavy-duty trebuchets on the head of Nancheng creaked and pulled away again. This is Cao Jun's most powerful trebuchet, with a height of three feet and an arm length of six feet. move.

The thirteen black trebuchets stood on the specially built platform, just like thirteen monsters. The huge boulder weighing more than one hundred catties was put into the pocket, and 200 people were pulling twenty arm-thick belts, waiting for the launch. shoot' order. [

Under the battlements, the four thousand archers of the Cao army had already changed their longbows, so they could squat down and shoot arrows outwards, avoiding the densely shot crossbow arrows. The two-foot-long thick arrows had already been set up. Put on the bowstring and shoot outwards intensively.

The longbows and arrows they used at this time were slightly different from the bows and arrows used in peaceful battles. The arrows did not need to be able to "shoot" far, but they had to be heavy so that the arrows could "shoot" through the enemy's armor by their own gravity. Therefore, large arrows are generally used, with thick finger shafts, sharp arrow tips in a streamlined shape, and bloodletting grooves on all sides.

The shooting range of the soldiers' arrows is only fifty steps, and they cannot hurt the crossbowmen of the Han army a hundred steps away, but they are the deadly killers of the soldiers who attacked the city, causing huge losses to the Han army who subsequently attacked the city.

At this time, the main force of the Han army had gradually entered the shooting range of the trebuchet. Xia Houyuan's face was full of ferocity, and the muscles on his face were twisted with tension. He shouted hoarsely: "Travel!"

The red flag was waved down, and Cao Jun pulled the trebuchet with all his strength, only to see the long arms of thirteen monsters waved out, and the 13 yuan boulder flew in the air, roaring and smashing down the city.

Looking up from the bottom of the city, I saw thirteen small black dots appearing in the sky, like a flock of geese flying across the sky, but the small black dots became bigger and bigger, and instantly turned into huge boulders rolling in the sky, hitting the top of the Han army. Down.

The soldiers of the attacking Han army shouted, and the soldiers hid under Doumeng one after another, but there were still a large number of soldiers hiding there. They shouted and dodged around, and the boulders fell down, 'Boom! ' There was a loud noise, and the dust flew up. Several soldiers were unable to dodge, and were smashed into meat paste by the boulder.

A huge boulder hit the bullhide mask, there was a loud 'click', the mask collapsed, and the soldiers crawled out from underneath, but the stone was turned back by the mask, and they moved forward for more than [-] steps. Rushing into the crowd, there was a scream.

. . . . . . .

Although Cao Jun's heavy trebuchets caused nearly 2000 casualties to the Han army, they were unable to stop the attack of more than [-] troops. As the drums in the Han army's camp accelerated, the soldiers in the four phalanxes ran up. , rushing towards the city overwhelmingly.

There is no moat in the west city, but a dry ditch with a width of two feet has been dug. The dry ditch of the moat has been paved by the sword and shield army and has lost its obstructive function.

A four-foot-high siege ladder crossed the moat and slammed on the city wall. Tens of thousands of Han soldiers climbed up the ladder like a colony of ants. The ladder, with a shield in one hand and a knife in his mouth, struggled to climb upwards.

Arrows rained down from the top of the city, rocks and logs fell like hailstones, and soldiers were shot one after another, screaming and falling down the city. . . . . .

The west city wall also has a horse-faced structure, that is, a protruding piece of the city wall. It is named for its shape resembling a horse's face. It usually protrudes two feet outward. "arrow.

In this way, the siege soldiers ignored their heads and turned their backs to become targets. The arrows of the soldiers at the top of the city were shot densely, which brought serious danger to the Han army on the ladder. The casualties were extremely heavy, and most of them were killed. The fallen soldiers were shot to death with arrows in the back.

The dead bodies below the city wall piled up rapidly, and the blood flowed into the city river, oozing from the pile of corpses, staining the top and bottom of the city wall red. He turned his head outwards and fell out. A string of soldiers on the ladder let out a long scream, and many people jumped off the ladder.

. . . . . . .

At this time, the first battering ram of the Han army was gradually approaching the city gate. More than a hundred people carried the battering ram on both sides, and another hundred soldiers of the sword and shield army raised their shields to protect them. Shooting, shouting and rushing towards the city gate, the situation of defending the city suddenly became serious.

At this time Hao Zhaoji ran to Xia Houyuan's side and shouted loudly: "General, you can beat back the battering ram with kerosene!"

As soon as the voice fell, 'Boom! A muffled bang, earth-shattering, the city gate was hit by a battering ram, the city gate made a harsh creaking sound, and the city wall shook violently. The soldiers were unable to stand still and fell down one after another. He shouted anxiously: "Use kerosene!"

The soldiers of Cao Jun brought hundreds of barrels of kerosene, and threw them down with all their strength. The barrel of kerosene shattered, and the pungent kerosene flowed all over the ground. When the gate was rang for the second time, Cao Jun soldiers fired dozens of rockets, igniting the ground with a bang of kerosene, and the raging fire burned rapidly, forming a sea of ​​flames in front of the city gate.

Dozens of Han soldiers were ignited by the kerosene and became Burning Men. They opened their arms and ran around screaming. Before running a few steps, they fell to the ground and curled up in the fire.

Cao Jun's kerosene dealt a fatal blow to the battering ram. As the fire spread, the huge battering log was also ignited. The soldiers who carried the battering ram had to abandon the battering ram and fled. Soon it was engulfed by raging fire.

The casualties were close to 5000, and more than half of the [-] siege planes carried by the Han army had been destroyed. The situation began to be unfavorable to the Han army. Liu Jing stared blankly at the raging fire at the city gate, even though the kerosene was his first I used it once, but I didn't expect it to be so sharp, Liu Jing couldn't help but sighed, "Mingjin withdraws!"

With 'When!when! When the bell rang, the Han army retreated like a tide, and their first siege failed.
