Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Zhao Kuangyin personally walked to the top of the fierce battle, overlooking the city, the mighty soldiers and horses seemed like a vast ocean! A tall ladder truck is like a monster of an ant colony. The noise is like waves, making people’s ears "buzzing" all the time. The stones thrown by the catapult and the crossbow bolts of the ballista flew down one after another. The rockets were flying brilliantly in the air, and the battles were huge, but like small pebbles fell into the East China Sea, not even a single spray could arouse.

At this moment, he imagined that a huge mountain fire could start a prairie fire from the wilderness under the city, or a tornado would roar past, and it would surely wipe out so many people and horses that were open between the sky and the earth! But no one has the power of the gods, and mortals have only mortal weapons to attack the mighty army without pain.

Even the surprising "slinging artillery" used by Tiesmith Guo was scary, but it was not as powerful as a supernatural power.

However, attacking and defending cities is a very old method of warfare, and sometimes a small advantage can affect the balance. What amazed Zhao Kuangyin was the morale and combat power of the Zhou army's siege army! It is logical that the ants attached to the city will not send out the most elite troops. He heard the Shu dialect in the shouts under the city, and he probably judged that the soldiers attacking the city here were the descendants of the Shu...Dare the descendants climb the wall and attack? This kind of attack requires courage and morale, no less than a field charge!

Zhao Kuangyin is an experienced military commander. Of course he knows that even if there are a hundred thousand troops in battle, most people just follow the command of the military commander in the rear. They rarely need to face the situation of desperate death. Therefore, the military discipline can only follow the military orders. It's a powerful army... People who really have the courage to charge in front are so easy, it tests the single-player qualifications of soldiers.

He had to re-examine Zhou Jun's combat power.

Arrows flew around his head, and the sound of killing was under his feet. Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers held a shield in front, guarding nervously.

At this moment, the shout of "Hey! Hey" not far away attracted Zhao Kuangyin's attention. He looked sideways and saw that three soldiers were lifting a heavy 100-jin round stone together! Zhou Jun’s gunpowder cannons were thrown, and the North Han Army should use stone bullets to hit Zhou.

The female wall in front of them was bare, and the female wall had been bombarded and collapsed, and a ladder was placed in the gap. Suddenly, there was a scream of "Ah", and an arrow pierced the chest of a soldier carrying a stone! The weight of the stone immediately lost its balance and fell to the ground, again with a painful cry of "Ah", another soldier fell to the ground, screamed "Wow," and the heavy rock hit his foot.

The general behind shouted: "Push the stone down!"

But after some toss, a soldier of Sergeant Zhou had already climbed up the ladder, and he shouted: "I am the first to go to the wall!" According to Zhou Jun's military command, the first person to attack the city and survive. It is to remember the great merits, the small soldiers will also rise up as the deputy commander of this command, and it will take effect immediately! And such people would enter the emperor's sight.

As soon as the words fell, a group of Northern Han sergeants with cherry guns swarmed into the gap, and the cherry guns stabbed on the soldiers of that week. The sound of metal slamming "ding and ding and bells" made several cherry guns pierce him. Didn't pierce the armor! But the fierce stabbing of many people kicked the soldier back, and the man staggered and was overturned on his back. There was a scream of horror, and then he heard a muffled noise.

A moment later, another soldier jumped up. He saw a large group of pikemen guarding the wall, shouting with red eyes, "Long live the great Chou!" When the stab fell to the ground, the soldiers of the North Han sergeant yelled and surrounded them, holding their knives, guns, and stabs at their feet. There was a sound of "ding, ding, banging, banging". I saw blood splashing in the crowd. The face is full of flesh and blood.

Two Sergeant Zhou rushed forward together and then rushed up. Both sides desperately slashed, knives and guns slashing on the armor like the sound of iron in a forge.

At this moment, a soldier came up with a black oil barrel. A general of the North Han Army personally took the black oil barrel and threw it down! As a torch was thrown out, firelight and black smoke rose together, and bursts of miserable screams sounded from below!

Fierce oil is very powerful against aerial ladders because it is very sticky. Whether it is tung oil or sesame oil, splashing on the ladder is like water, most of it will flow away from the gaps between the ladders; but the fierce fire oil is different, it will stick to the ladder and flow along the wood... It's just a pity that it is too little and consumes Sorry. These gadgets were shipped from the south to Youzhou within a few thousand miles.

Woods and bricks were smashed down the city walls, and a lot of fires on the ladders burned, and the smell of blood and burnt was diffused in the shouts.

It didn't take long for Sergeant Zhou under the city to finally drop the damaged ladder beside the city wall, and the tide retreated back. The North Han sergeant on the city wall yelled and screamed congratulations.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin said: "Let's go down town first."

Then he took a few military commanders and went down from the upper part of the city. Sure enough, he didn't expect it. After a while, he heard the sound of "boom boom..." cannons outside the city, and the big rocks rolled and flew up to the city. A large stone hit the crowd of guards who were closely guarded, and suddenly flesh and blood splashed, and a group of people panicked and avoided. There are also stone bullets flying up and hitting the female wall, which is more lethal! Although the city wall was spacious, the space was still limited. The soldiers who were still desperately resisting the Zhou army’s siege were very dense. The bricks of the female wall were beaten by violent force and flew around. There were soldiers covering their faces and screaming. Blood dipped from between his fingers.

A large number of intensive infantry were yelled by the generals and evacuated from the city. Several earthen stoves and pots for burning "golden juice" were also destroyed by stone bullets, and "golden juice" was flowing on the ground. The floor tiles on the city wall were smashed into splashes ~www.readwn.com~ The above was a mess.

The battle of the stone bullets was huge, one bullet might not kill one person, but it couldn't withstand hundreds of rounds of blasting round after round. Zhou Jun just didn't know how many people were used to excavate the stone.

Occasionally, another one flew over the wall from the wall. Zhao Kuangyin looked up and saw a round stone tumbled down and quickly flew into a two-story attic. With a "boom", the heavy stone slammed straight through the roof. As soon as the beam broke, the entire roof collapsed, the wood fragments fell off the street, and a lot of dust rose up.

Zhao Kuangyin recalled the neighborhood close to the city wall. Many houses were destroyed. This place seemed to be in ruins after an earthquake!

Shi Shou said: "The Zhou army's tactics seem to be to consume the Jinyang defenders, first attack the city, and then use shells."

Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "It looks like this at the moment... But I think Guo Tiejiang is a very savvy person and never sticks to the rules. If I guess correctly, he will soon re-develop his tactics."

"What other tactics are there for siege?" Shi Shouxin frowned.
