Chapter 332 The Battle of Jinling (3)
Ning Que stood in the middle of the army, coordinating the command of the entire battlefield. After the surprise attack, four towers had already been pushed in front of the horses.
The city wall of Jinling City is seven feet high, which is as high as the tower. Ning Que added a platform on top of the tower. After passing the platform, one can jump directly from the top to the city wall. Although the area is limited, it can only accommodate 100 people at a time.
Ten people, but it is enough.
"Go up the ladder..." He Zirong shouted. Seeing a blazing fire on the tower, he pulled out the long sword in his hand and shouted.
Each of the twenty ladders behind them was carried by ten people, about two hundred people, followed closely by an echelon of three thousand people, wearing only light armor and goggles, holding meteor hammers and long knives in their hands.
, crossed the moat, erected the ladder, and began to climb the wall.
"Attack with fire..." Dewey, who had lost his helmet on the city wall, shouted.
The people around me picked up a can of hot oil and were about to pour it on the ladder. Unexpectedly, an arrow flew towards me and hit me right between the eyebrows. The hot oil was released and spread all over my body. When it encountered an open flame, I instantly became a burning man on top of the city wall.
Run wildly.
"Damn it..." Dewey kicked the man off the city wall and fell heavily to the ground. There was oil at the foot of the city wall, but when it encountered an open flame, it started to burn.
"Sir, there's not enough oil..."
Dewey shouted: "Go, go and ask for it. The main attack is on the south gate. The main attack is on the south gate. Let them send it over. Damn it, if the south gate is broken, no one will be able to survive..."
Dewey kicked the man over, and someone had already jumped down from the cloud, but Dewey killed him with a knife.
This ladder has always been a weapon for siege. As you go up the steps, there are four levels of space in the middle. The deployment of each level can be adjusted according to the needs of the project. For the siege ram at the bottom, you can choose the appropriate one.
Give up to alleviate the need to attack the city from the horse's side.
Here, Dewey was caught in a bloody battle. The troops from Ningshan Prefecture came in like a tide. He Zirong, who had experienced the battle of Luzhou City, had experience in siege methods and adopted the method of fighting back with another.
method, while assuming a ladder, the projection behind you
Dozens of jars of oil tied with hemp ropes were placed on top of the stone tools. With the swing of the slings, dozens of jars of wine were shattered on the city wall, on the watchtower, and even on the attic.
The officers and soldiers on the tower failed to succeed in one attack, so they chose to attack with fire.
In an instant, a raging fire broke out on the entire southern city wall, and individual figures shuttled in and out of the firelight, letting out heart-rending screams.
Under the West City, Tan Zhen and his men were entangled with Shi Bao, and Shi Bao had killed three lieutenants. However, there was no turning back at this moment. Once they were allowed to enter the city, the difficulty of attacking the city would increase exponentially.
"Damn it, go back to the city..." Shi Bao shouted, and chopped down one of them with his sword. The horse he got off was already a little exhausted.
How could Tan Zhen release Shi Bao back to the city, turn his horse's head, and pursue the victory? However, behind the city wall, more people blocked the way and surrounded the city gate.
Si Xingfang on the city wall could only use long-range attacks such as boulders, fire attacks, and arrows to relieve Shi Bao's pressure. Once the city gate was opened and Shi Bao was let in, there was no time to close the city gate, and Tan Zhen's troops would attack.
Entering the city, the defenders inside the barbican can certainly pass through.
Pass through the alley and hand it over for defense, but 10,000 people is already the limit. Currently, Tan Zhen's army has 30,000 troops. If the city gate is opened, Gao Qiu's army from the north and east of the city will continue to attack. Even if they deploy defense
No matter how fast he goes, he can't be faster than the man on horseback below.
"Si Xingfang, you bastard, open the door..." Shi Bao fought bloody battles under the city. The 40,000 horses in his hands were already beginning to show signs of fatigue under Tan Zhen's harassment, and the reinforcements were attacked in the north and east of the city.
The same resistance makes it impossible to advance or retreat.
"Marshal Shi, it's not that I won't open the city gate. Once it is opened, Jinling will be in danger and Shenggong will be in danger..." Si Xingfang said loudly.
"Danger your mother..." Shi Bao shouted, and arrows flew from behind him. He hurriedly avoided it, but it was hit by his mount. The horse neighed and shook, and Shi Bao fell off the horse.
, rolled twice, dodged two knives, and started fighting with the people on the ground.
"The south gate is being stormed, the south gate is being stormed, Fang Jie can't stand it any longer...reinforcements are needed..."
Si Xingfang kicked the man to the ground: "Reinforcement, reinforcements from Nima, didn't you see what I'm doing in Xicheng?"
The man climbed to the notch in the city wall and saw that the sound of killing was loud below his feet.
But he heard Si Xingfang say: "Good brother, I'm here to rescue you..." He then rode down to the city on horseback and shouted: "Brothers, the five thousand men from the vanguard battalion will follow me out of the city to rescue Marshal Shi."
The people behind them shouted, and as soon as the city gate opened, the officers and soldiers in front of the gate rushed in. Si Xingfang slashed and killed, rushed through the crowd, and rushed out, only a few dozen feet away from Shi Bao.
Unexpectedly, the shouts of killing started again, but it was Gao Qiu who sent out his few 10,000 horses to reinforce him. This was also Gao Qiu's brilliance. He did not send out all his forces. It depends on the situation.
Looking at the battle situation, it is now two hours, and the sun is gradually rising in the midst of the fighting. Although it is slightly obscured by the smoke, it does not affect its operation.
Sure enough, the entire outer city's defense was centered around Shi Bao, and it was the right thing to hand over the most elite team to Tan Zhen, which also allowed them to firmly grasp the initiative on the battlefield.
At this moment, Shi Bao was involved, and when he saw the movement on Si Xingfang's side, he quickly sent people to reinforce him. When Si Xingfang broke through the blockade of the city gate, the troops here had also arrived.
But Si Xingfang and Shi Bao didn't know how many people were coming. Shi Bao kicked one of them off his horse, jumped on his horse, and slashed all the way. They just joined Si Xingfang, and everyone behind him was already coming to kill him.
"Come on, the south gate is their goal. They stick to us like dog-skin plaster, just to reduce the pressure on the south gate." Si Xingfang shouted.
At this moment, Si Xingfang was completely different from just now. He was unwilling to open the city gate just now, but now he took the initiative to rescue. It was that kick that made Si Xingfang suddenly understand. Such pulling back and forth, for
The only thing is to involve his forces in the west city. He is in a dilemma. There is no reinforcement at the south gate. Even if Fang Jie has great ability, he cannot withstand such an offensive. There are 100,000 elite soldiers of Ningshan Mansion in front of him.
If he didn't come out to save people, it would be better for Shi Bao to die here. If he went back alive, why not skin him? Shi Bao started killing people, but he didn't blink, and even the Holy Duke couldn't stop him, but the only one
One point is loyalty. He doesn't have to listen to anyone except Fang La. Only Fang La's words are regarded as his standard.
"You are still a human being, retreat..." Shi Bao shouted, and was about to return to the city with 30,000 troops behind him.
When Tan Zhen saw this, he wondered how he could let Shi Bao go back. He had an idea and laughed loudly: "That person is Shi Bao, haha, what a bullshit generalissimo, he looks like a piece of shit, hahaha..."
But Shi Bao was a man who took soft things rather than hard ones. As soon as Tan Zhen said these words, how could the proud and arrogant Shi Bao swallow this breath? At this moment, he was clearly running away. He pulled the reins, but Si Xingfang shouted
: "Marshal Shi, the overall situation is the most important thing, the overall situation is the most important thing..."
Shi Bao said angrily: "After I kill this son of a bitch, I can go and plead guilty to the Holy Duke..."
As he spoke, he waved his spear and charged towards Tan Zhen. Tan Zhen raised his two swords and fought with him, saying: "It's just that, it's just that, haha, you learned this skill from a fire-burner, right?"
