Chapter 443: Prologue
Wuda strode to the city wall and stared at the Anqing border army in the distance.
"Is it a bluffing feint attack or a real fight?" He turned around and looked at Han Zhong and asked.
"Your Majesty!" Han Zhong bent down and bowed, "This is not a feint attack. Yun Zhao is preparing to fight with us with real swords and guns."
Wuda sneered: "He is so sure?"
Han Zhong looked back at Sima Ren, "It depends on the ability of His Highness Zhong's subordinates to defend the city. Under Yun Zhao, whether it is Su Dingfang, Hu Zehua, Huo Zhenting, Zhou Guangyi, or Meng Yao Dingqiu, they are all defending the city.
In our eyes, the defense that big experts in siege may be full of flaws."
Sima Ren's face changed slightly and said in a cold voice: "King Yi, please rest assured. My 50,000 men under my command will let Yun Zhao return with his feathers."
Wuda looked at the two of them and smiled and said, "Well, I'm very relieved. The guards of the city are not good at defending the city. I have to ask King Zhong to worry about it. I will arrange it.
Five thousand soldiers from the tent came over and cooperated to attack the opponent from the city."
Sima Ren clasped his fists and said, "I will never let down what Your Majesty hope."
Han Zhong turned his head and looked at the city, reminding him: "When the attack and defense begin, there will be no big loopholes in the city defense, but Your Highness Zhong must pay attention to the order of the opponent's attack plan and the configuration of the opponent's attack force, our opponents are all
It is a long general. No matter which piece of problem occurs, they can quickly discover and catch it. Once they make a breakthrough at a certain point, it will be difficult to fight."
Sima Ren snorted. "Your Highness Wang Laoyi is worried. Yun Zhao has many generals under his command. Our Sima clan has also produced many famous generals, and it is not inferior to him."
Han Zhong smiled and said nothing.
Under the city, a row of cavalry suddenly crossed the crowd and headed straight to the city, until they stopped six or seven hundred steps away from the city. The group pointed at the city, but observed the formation of troops on the city, headed
One person, a black-clad black-armored dark horse, immediately made everyone above the city understand who this person was.
Yun Zhao Sima Ren gritted his teeth and said, "I'm so brave!"
Han Zhong looked at the proud standing hundreds of steps away without taking everyone in the city at all. However, he was filled with emotion. Heroes came from troubled times. All of them have been like this since ancient times. In peaceful times, Yun Zhao was the one who was like this.
At the age of age, it is not easy to be a lieutenant, but now, this person is already a general of Yunhui. He holds heavy troops in his hand and stomps his feet and will make a sound shook the world. If you sneeze, you will catch a cold. Look at the other party and think about it.
I couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"Come here, drag several crossbows over. Go aim at Yun Zhao and shoot him to death!" Sima Ren's voice came from his ears.
A slight move in his heart, this is a solution. Yun Zhao was too arrogant. This distance has reached the range of the crossbow. If he is lucky enough to hit the target, it would be a waste of time.
The sound of the crossbow squeaking and twisting the strings sounded. The crossbow hidden behind the battlements slowly raised up and pointed the arrow with a cold light at Yun Zhao under the city. Everyone held their breath, and Wuda looked sideways.
Looking at Yaldan beside him, Yaldan bit his lips tightly, breathing a little heavy, but he didn't make any noise after all. Seeing Yaldan's hands tightly tugging his clothes, Wuda couldn't help but feel pity
He reached out his hand and gently held Yardan's small hand.
A sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded above the city. Three crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arms broke out into the air and headed straight for Yun Zhao in the distance. The range of the bed crossbow was as high as a mile, and Yun Zhao was six or seven hundred steps away.
, but it is in the middle of the range of the bed crossbow.
A scream came from afar, and the speed of the crossbow made everyone see only a few black lights coming down from the top of the city.
Jiang Xu shouted loudly and walked forward. The huge Mo knife in his hand tried his best and slashed it with one knife. With a loud bang, the Mo knife was shaken and raised high, but the crossbow arrow was also cut into two by him.
, falling from the air, and two squeaks, inserted in front of his horse, and its tail shaking continuously.
Only one of the three crossbow arrows aimed at the target. The other two were far away from Yun Zhao. Yun Zhao didn't even blink his eyelids. The dozens of personal soldiers on his body stood upright like Yun Zhao.
Without any movement, Wuda gasped on the top of the city, not only because the big man could use human power to resist the power of the bed crossbow, but also shocked Yun Zhao and his personal guards' calmness.
Yaldan beside him exhaled gently.
"Is it okay?" Yun Zhao looked at Jiang Xu and asked in a low voice.
Jiang Xu's hands were shattered with blood, but he rubbed the blood on the armor as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "It's okay, there's a little skin injury."
Looking up at the city, there were many people standing there. Yun Zhao raised his horse whip and pointed to the city. The countless thunderbolt cannons behind him rumbled almost the moment his horse whip was raised.
The sound.
The sky suddenly darkened.
"Be careful of your Majesty!" Han Zhong exclaimed, and a group of guards rushed forward, dragging Wuda and Yardan, and quickly retreated into the city tower. On the top of the city, the soldiers rushed to the Tibetan soldiers' cave or
Putting his body tightly under the wall, Han Zhong took a few steps back and leaned his body in a dead corner. Looking at the huge rocks in the sky covering the sky and covering the sun, he thought that there were not many hundreds of thunderbolt cannons.
Only by doing this can it be achieved.
With the rumbling sound, dozens of kilograms of stone bullets hit the city wall heavily, hitting the city wall. The entire Yanjing City seemed to tremble. With the loud noise, the city wall that was still neatly turned
It was messy, a corner of the upper floor of the city tower was smashed, and the wood bricks fell down with a bang. Wuda, who was hiding on the lower floor, was covered with dust. On the top of his head, dust was still falling, the entire city tower
He seemed to be overwhelmed and moaned in pain, and the huge shaking made people unsteadily stand.
This was just a wave of attacks. Wuda couldn't help but change his color. This was the first time he saw the enemy able to concentrate such a number of thunderbolt cannons in a single attack to fire.
After one round of shooting, the city ceased again. It seemed that this round of attack was just to revenge the arrows they had plotted against Yun Zhao just now. Wuda walked out of the city tower and looked at the tall dark horse that had turned away. Another Meng general
The flag moves forward.
"Your Majesty, the opponent's attack is about to begin. Please return to the palace!" Han Zhong stepped forward and said, "Above the city, there is no eyeless sword and gun, and the opponent's firepower is extremely strong. At the beginning, I'm afraid it will be very hard to fight.
.”
"Your Majesty, please go back to the palace. If you have a humble minister here, you will definitely not be able to cross the line!" Sima Ren also took a step forward.
Wuda nodded and waved to summon a Mongolian general, "Hiins, you will lead five thousand soldiers to the city to listen to the orders of King Zhong, and you will be ready to go out of the city to attack the enemy at any time."
"After the order!" Hines saluted a military salute. Hines was the younger brother of Wuda's wife Hailing, and a famous warrior among the Mongolians.
Wuda knew very well that it would be extremely difficult to defend the city without cooperating with the soldiers defending the city against the trend, and the Sima family's army obviously did not have the courage to go out of the city to fight, so this task could only be handed over to the soldiers of the big tent to complete.
Yun Zhao and Yan Xiaoyi's cavalry were under the command of the formation, and Meng Yao's third battalion once again took on the task of first attack. As the army with the most powerful attack power of the Anqing border army, the third battalion was undisputedly obtained this task.
The Third Battalion is also the best equipped army among the Anqing border army. Every time the new weapons produced by Fengrui Weapons Square in Guangchang are always the first to be equipped in the Third Battalion, with the Third Battalion nearly 20,000.
The human army, even the most ordinary soldiers, were wearing iron armor, and the cost of this one was not less than twenty taels of silver, which was enough to make all other soldiers envious.
Under the intensive attacks of hundreds of thunderbolt cannons and hundreds of bed crossbows, the first attack wave of the Third Battalion, led by Ding Qiu, carried the ladder, pushed the siege car, carried the wooden striking, and steadily towards the steadily
Advance under the city.
The team was very scattered, and the Sima family defenders on the city still had a set of guarding the city. Even women and children in the city could still shoot arrows, and their archery accuracy was not bad, and they were dispersed.
The team is more effective in avoiding the opponent's bow and arrow coverage.
The dense stone bombs fell on the city wall, and the entire city was trembling. The screaming crossbow flew across the city and was deeply nailed to the city tower, suppressing the soldiers on the city to dare not find out.
To the point, they have never experienced such intensive long-range strikes.
Sima Yi squatted under a battlement, staring at the opponent's slowly rushing team, silently calculating the distance between the opponent and the city. Compared to the fact that so many heavy weapons gathered outside the city, the city was in the city.
The counterattack seemed pale. Yanjing City was very big. They could not tell which direction the opponent's attack was, so they could only disperse heavy long-range weapons to ensure that there was enough firepower in all directions.
The strike also created the overwhelming firepower advantage of the Anqing border army.
"Come on, transfer the crossbow!" Sima Yi turned around and said. Since the opponent had gathered so many heavy weapons in this direction, they would definitely focus on the breakthrough on this section of the city wall. Thunderbolt cannons are not convenient.
It moves, but the crossbow can still be moved here.
The opponent began to speed up. Ding Qiu waved his big sword and ran angrily. Almost as they accelerated their pace, Sima Yi stood up from behind the battlements, waved his waist knife, and shouted: "Shoot, shoot!"
There were countless heads suddenly appeared on the empty city wall, and thousands of arrows poured down from the city head and shot towards the soldiers running under the city. The screaming crossbow drew out the broken roads.
The shadow shot heavily towards the siege car that was moving slowly and had a huge target.
People running people fall from time to time, and it is almost impossible for people who are not lucky to be hit by the crossbow to leave their bodies.
There were three hundred steps and two hundred steps. The soldiers carrying the ladder suddenly exerted force. The ladder, which seemed to be only a dozen long, was suddenly stretched out, and the length almost doubled. While running, soldiers were driving the ladder.
The wedge is stuck at the joint, which is the telescopic ladder of the new equipment of Anqing Bianjun.
A siege car was unfortunately hit by a stone bullet shot from the top of the city. It collapsed with a loud noise. Dozens of soldiers on the car screamed and fell from a height of more than ten meters, either dead or injured.
But the latecomers still did not stop, continued to run forward and kept speeding up.
Chapter completed!
