Chapter five hundred and ninety-eight chemical weapons
"The city gate is broken, hurry up and enter the city!"
A large number of Wu and Yue soldiers no longer fought with the Tang army outside the city, but rushed directly to the city gate. Some ladders were already ladders on the city wall, and the siege began.
Therefore, the city defense of the city on the south side has reached the level of danger and is facing major challenges.
Many Wu Yue soldiers outside the city rushed towards the city gate, working with the spies and dead soldiers in the city, and broke through the defense line of the city gate. At present, the control of the city gates between Renhe Gate and Dehua Gate was occupied by Wu Yue soldiers, and the city gate could no longer be closed.
The Tang army relied on the crowd to block the city gate and wanted to regain control of the city gate. The two sides fought to the end, and the city gate piled up into a hill.
Chen Chengli was very excited when he saw that the city gate had been opened and said to the military advisor beside him: "Mr. Jiao, your plan is very good. The series of plans have worked. The city gate has been occupied by our army. As long as you rush over and a large number of troops and horses rushed into the city, Runzhou City will be broken.
Jiao Jie replied: "Now, we only look at how many of our troops can be inserted. After all, there are only three or four hundred dead soldiers in the city now, and they can't hold on for too much time. Now the Tang army is trying their best to block the outer city gate. If we cannot break through the blockade, then the city gate will be blocked and our army will still be unable to go there in large quantities and send it into the city!"
Chen Chengli also understood this truth, so he increased his troops.
"Increase troops and enter the city on all sides!"
Chen Chengli increased his troops and suddenly more than 20,000 troops rushed forward like a tide.
They wanted to break the city and annihilate thousands of Tang troops outside the city. Whether or not they conquered Runzhou, they had the advantage today and pulled a piece of meat off the Tang army, causing big trouble.
At this time, Lu will lead several Du Yuhou to block the open space inside Renhe Gate, which is the open space of the urn between the outer city wall and the inner city wall.
The Tang army gathered many people. The spies of Wu Yue who were encircling and suppressing the people were also resisting the influx of Wu Yue soldiers. These people must be killed or driven out and the city gates must be closed, otherwise the city will be broken.
"Turn the thief of Wu and Yue out of the city."
The main general Lu Jiang roared loudly, holding a large ring knife, sat on the horse's back to command the three armies, and rushed forward.
Some archers stood on the inner wall and headed towards some Wu Yue soldiers inside, and began to shoot arrows to assist the defenders in targeting these enemy troops.
Inside and outside the city, everyone was in a melee, shouting and killing, and blood flowed into a river like purgatory.
Peng Qingqing looked at Su Chen and said, "The Dehua Sect is in danger, let me go, Ma Chengjun is guarding there, I'm afraid that it's too much pressure to be alone.
Su Chen was a little worried about Jingjing's safety, but the city gate was not allowed to be missed at the moment, so he said to her: "You and Jing Hong come to help with others. Be sure to guard the city gate and protect yourself!"
Peng Jingjing nodded: "I understand, Brother Chen, don't worry. I will definitely complete this mission."
"Be careful!" Su Chen still reminded him.
Peng Qingqing smiled and nodded, took a thousand soldiers with Jing Hong, got off the city tower, and immediately rushed to Dehua Gate.
Now the entire city wall and gate on the south side are fighting, and the bloody smell is so irresistible that it is hard to see more.
Su Chen stood on the city tower, feeling very worried, with a sigh, when will this war end?
There may be only a few strokes in history books, but if it really happens, it may be that the lives of countless soldiers and the people are filled in. It is very tragic and makes people wonder about their lives.
The Runzhou defense line has reached a critical moment, and the two gates of the city on the south side can be dangerous.
Lu Jiang personally held a large ring knife and led his troops forward. The soldiers were mainly spearmen and swords and axes, arranged in an orderly manner, forming an iron barrel array that blocked the way of the Wu Yue soldiers. As long as they were guarded here, the troops behind the Wu Yue soldiers could not rush in.
Therefore, if the Wu Yue soldiers want to break through the city, they must tear the human defense line here.
The veteran General Lu Jiang personally took the battle, boosting morale, and all the soldiers of the Tang army fought bravely to fight the enemy.
Those spies had to break in, but were soon killed by spearmen and swordsmen. These spies were wearing people's clothes, without armor, and the short-soldiers and weapons they picked up were unable to compare with the Tang army who had arranged the iron barrel array and cooperated with collectively to fight.
Therefore, as the formation continued to shrink, the Wu Yue soldiers who had already rushed into the city were constantly killed by the Tang army's closely cooperating with each other, like a meat mincing machine.
With the orderly square formation moving forward, the Wu Yue soldiers still rushed up in a mess and were directly killed by the tightly matched array.
clang clang clang!
The sound of weapons interception is neat and orderly, the team is moving forward with a vigorous momentum, stepping like a mountain, advancing comprehensively, like a copper wall and iron wall.
The Wu Yue soldiers' continuous attacks were already blocked, and the situation was stalemate.
"Use a cavalry to open a road!"
A commander of the Wu Yue army shouted loudly, mobilized the cavalry and charged inside.
Many cavalry rushed forward, rushed past the city gate, and used war horses to rush into the iron formation in the city of the Tang army.
The horses rushed directly to the gun forest with a beveled angle, and the banging sounded. The horses and knights suddenly fell over and over, almost suicide-like impact, but hitting them on them also brought some damage to the iron barrel row.
This method of Wu Yue soldiers also had a certain effect, and they only exchanged the lives of knights for it.
"Kill!"
More and more Wu Yue soldiers rushed into the city, and nearly 10,000 people had piled up under the city wall. The Tang army, Ma Xiong and others had become lonely outside the city and could no longer block the impact of so many Wu Yue soldiers; the city gate was occupied again, and the situation was quite critical.
Moreover, the Wu Yue soldiers under the city had already built a shield with shields. Even the stones and rolling wood that were smashed from the city wall were blocked by the shield hands, and the arrows were also blocked by the shields. The soldiers rushed forward quickly from the corridor built by the shields; reducing the impact of arrows and stones, so that a continuous stream of people would continue to pour into the city gate.
Breaking the city is just a matter of time.
At this time, Su Chen found that the situation was not good and felt that it would be too dangerous to continue like this, so he had to use other means.
So Su Chen thought of a poisonous smoke he had developed recently. He used sulfur and some irritant powder to make it together. As long as it was ignited, it would produce a lot of irritating smoke, which would be pungent and stimulating. If you breathe too much, you could even make people feel unconscious.
"Come on, bring the mugwort over!"
Su Chen immediately ordered someone to take dozens of bundles of mugwort from the city tower, splash a few packages of prepared wolf smoke powder on it, and then said to the people on the city wall: "Light it immediately, then throw it away, find the place with a lot of people, especially at the city gate, and throw it away more."
"Abide by the order!"
The guards began to work hard. This combination of sulfur and drug powder, mixed and stirred, and ignited with mugwort, emitted a thick yellow smoke, which was dazzling, choking, and dizzy.
These Tang soldiers surrounded their mouths and noses with wet towels and threw them under the city.
The thick smoke rolled. After smelling the Wu Yue soldiers siege below, they burst into tears and coughed. Some people fainted directly on the ground and fell into a coma. The smoke spread and the yellow smoke floated under the entire city wall, with obvious effects.
"Ahem!" The shield players and cavalrymen were dismissed after smelling the cigarette, and the shield players also fell into a coma.
No matter whether the enemy or us are smoked, they will cough continuously and fall into the ground.
Some Wu Yue soldiers fled everywhere, threw away their armor, and could not fight normally.
The defenders on the top of the city began to cover their mouths and noses with wet towels, barely endured them, and began to shoot arrows and kill the fleeing Wu Yue soldiers.
The Wu Yue army in the rear saw this strange yellow smoke floating up, and looked shocked, and no longer dared to step forward, and the offensive was paused.
