Vol 2 Chapter 375: Hefei City Break

"Boom ~"
Huge stone bombs crossed the sky, bombarding the city wall with fierce roars, and the broken stones flew.
Poof ~
There was a muffled sound, and a helmet next to him was smashed into the splashed gravel. The helmet made of metal was recessed by a large amount, and the bitter bone crackling sound could be heard. There is no protection in front of it.
Zhang Liao looked indifferent. On such a battlefield, if he wanted to survive, sometimes he still had to rely on luck. Such an attack, even if he ran to him, might not be able to win it.
The battle in Hefei City has been started since the morning, and it has been more than one hour now. The other party ’s siege troops have not come up, but just use the huge catapult to continuously bombard the city wall. Rao is the strong city wall of Hefei. The cast stone wheels are still powerful, and it can still make people feel the city walls shaking under their feet.
When did Jiangdong have such a powerful siege device?
Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and looked at the trebuchet that was attacking here through Laoyuan. The opponent's trebuchet could reach the city wall here, but the Heili City's thunderbolt was difficult to fall on the enemy's formation!
Although the casualties are not large, most of the time they are injured or directly killed by the splashed gravel, but this attack is terrible for the morale.
Jing Xi at the rear finally started to move, but this little action gave Cao Jun of the defending city a sense of relief. After all, the feeling of being passively beaten was not wonderful, even if it did not cause them too many casualties. .
The kind of confusion and tension that is not sure which piece of gravel will fall on his head or body at any time, let alone ordinary soldiers, is Zhang Liao, and feels that the physical energy consumption today is many times that of the past.
"Can the bed crossbow hit those catapults?" Zhang Liaola came to a craftsman in charge of city defense equipment. The voice of inquiry was a little impatient, and he must find ways to destroy those catapults.
"Go back to the general, the bed crossbow can really hit, just humble opinion, at this time first shoot Jinghan!" The craftsman bowed.
"Jing Ha was handed over to a thunderbolt to attack, immediately aligning all the crossbows at those catapult designs." Zhang Liao shook his head. This deterrent weapon was sometimes more dangerous than substantial injury.
Jiang Dongjun ’s Jing He started to move slowly towards the city wall under the protection of the rushing car and Lei Wang. Zhang Liao probably estimated that this Lei vehicle was very high, even higher than the end of the city wall. Yunti and Jinghao are also somewhat different from Zhongyuan's siege equipment.
In the ensuing battle, Zhang Liao understood the horror of these siege equipments. He never dreamed that Jiangdong Army, who had been unable to attack the defense of Hefei City before, had such a powerful fighting force this time.
Or it is not that they are strong, but that the siege equipment, both sturdy and blocking, far surpass the siege weapons that Jiangdong used before.
This is a siege weapon in Jingzhou!
There is some speculation in Zhang Liao's mind that the emergence of Zhao Yun and Jiangdong's siege suddenly became so sharp, even if Liu Bei did not directly support Sun Quan's horses and horses, these weapons must have come from Liu Bei.
There is no evidence, but Zhang Liao's heart is basically certain. If Sun Quan had such a sharp siege weapon before, he wouldn't have to close it after only half a month of attack.
"Buzz ~"
Boom ~
After Jing Han entered the range, the catapults that had been prepared on the city walls began to show their power. Stone bombs continually bombarded the immense target that could hardly be moved. Catapults farther away.
"Ooooooo ~"
Exciting horns and drums sounded in the rear. The soldiers and horses of the Jiangdong Army began to move forward. The archers of the two sides began to drain the arrow rain to the other party's camp. Confirming that the range of the Jiangdong Army's bow and arrow was not as far as expected At that time, Zhang Liao was slightly relieved.
Liu Beijun ’s archer has a super long range, which has been verified in several frictions between the two sides. Although Cao Cao has been ordering craftsmen to find the secret, it is a pity that although after several improvements, Cao Jun ’s archer ’s The range has never reached the height of Liu Beijun, but now the improved bow and arrow range advantages of Cao Jun and Shangjiang East Army are reflected. Although the gap is not very large, but then the superiority of the bow and arrow can still account for the bow and arrow opposition. Got the upper hand.
Just when Zhang Liao was ready to take advantage of this advantage, Wu Jun on the Jinghao also started to shoot arrows, but their range was farther than Cao Jun. This made Zhang Liao some annoyed and could only order the Thunderbolt to speed up the attack. Put these wells down.
However, the accuracy of the thunderbolt is not high, and the enemy ’s well is abnormally strong. It is useless to get a stone bomb. Although the speed is not fast, it also protects Wu Jun in the rear.
The breath began to permeate the city walls. For Zhang Liao, who was already familiar with this taste, it was not something unacceptable, but the current situation was indeed somewhat detrimental to Cao Jun. This was the first time in the battle with Jiangdong. There is an unspeakable feeling of powerlessness.
When the slowly pushed well was about to approach the city wall, the wooden board folded with bearings in front suddenly opened up, and it looked like it was overlapping.
"Huoyou!" Without saying anything, Zhang Liao grabbed a kerosene tank and threw it at the opposite well. At the same time, he took the torch that burned the kerosene and threw it away. In an instant, there was a sea of ​​fire on the well, hiding. Jiang Dongjun, who was in Jinghan, also could n’t wait to continue to fight. In a wailing howl, some people jumped directly from the well of more than three feet high, and some wanted to force up, and were arranged everywhere The crossbowmen shot one by one.
But this is just one. More wells are approaching. Not everyone has the skill like Zhang Liao and can throw the fire oil canister two feet away.
A well was lit up and was gradually engulfed in flames, but some wells were put on the city wall. Those Jiangdong soldiers threw up like a wolf and killed together with Cao Jun.
The cloud ladder also came up at this time, and the ladder that seemed to be broken was exceptionally stable.
Zhang Liao walked continuously on the city wall, directing the soldiers to fight. When he encountered the fierceness, he personally killed Wu Jun.
I saw Zhang Liao's Wu Jun generals flying up, and Zhang Liao fell back to the ground with a knife.
The siege warfare, to put it bluntly, is still added by human life. Even if there are siege equipment provided by Jingzhou, even the Jingzhou army will fight, throwing away some oddities and returning to the regular battle mode, all of which are based on their own lives. Consume the enemy's defense until the enemy's defense limit is broken with human life.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the loss ratio between the two sides will be very large. At this time, consciousness, mentality and fighting spirit are the most important. In this regard, Jiangdong ’s army is generally inferior to Cao ’s army. Obviously, there has been an opportunity to break the gap, and Jiang Dongjun, who was still killed by Cao Jun several times, is good at naval warfare. Even during this time, he began to focus on army training, but he still has no way to fight for many years. Compared with Cao Jun.
In one day, more than two hundred Jiang Dongjuns died in the hands of the rear governor. Finally, in the evening sunlight, accompanied by the sound of gold from the rear, they stepped on the body of their soldiers and returned to the big. camp.
Although they did not break through the city, at least this time, Jiang Dongjun saw hope. They were only a short distance away, and they could break through the city. In today ’s siege battle, although the damage was not small, it was always Jiangdong ’s pressure. Fighting against each other gave Jiang Dong's generals encouragement. Perhaps tomorrow, it will take the day after tomorrow to break through this strong city.
"I don't know how many such siege devices are there in Jingzhou?" When Sun Quan feasted on Zhao Yun, he seemed to inadvertently ask such a topic. Jingzhou's siege devices made Sun Quan somewhat envious and also felt threatened. His own siege device was ruined. There is one less vehicle, and Liu Bei's side is constantly making energy. If Liu Bei attacks Wu in the future, can Jiang Dong live in the face of such siege weapons?
Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Yun has been in Changsha for a long time, and he is not very clear about these."
This is already Liu Beijun's secret. How can it be easily disclosed to others? Even if the two sides are allies now.
Somehow in my mind, I remembered what Liu Yi said at the beginning. The so-called allies are those enemies that cannot be eliminated for the time being and have a common enemy.
At that time, it was a bit funny to hear this. Liu Yi was somewhat unruly between private talks, but now Zhao Yun ca n’t help but agree with Liu Yi ’s words. In these two days, Sun Quan was the first time to set himself up Get the intelligence of Jingzhou?
After all, he is no longer a stunned youth when he was young. Zhao Yun replied that there is no leakage of water. Even if the information of the bad street in Jingzhou ca n’t be passed from his mouth ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Sun Quan is helpless. The diehards, such people, are not able to dig them up in a short time, but they are still very friendly to Zhao Yun, and they ca n’t now, it does n’t mean they ca n’t.
After thinking for a while, Sun Quan smiled and said: "But I don't know if the Emperor can give some more ladders and wells? I was damaged a lot by that Liao today. Of course, I wouldn't ask for it alone, so I can invest in it."
Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Wu Wang Ke personally wrote to my lord, these things cannot be given in private."
Sun Quan nodded. This is not a cliché. He really wanted to start some military cooperation with Liu Bei, not only these siege equipment, weapons and armor. As long as Liu Bei is willing to sell, Sun Quan wants to buy it. Seeing Zhao Yun is difficult to discuss here. After Sun Quan prepared for this battle, he personally wrote to Liu Bei to see if the two sides could achieve long-term cooperation through this relationship of allies.
Next, Jiangdong's offensive was fiercer. For ten consecutive days, Hefei's solid city defense was even blasted open. Hefei's defense has reached its limit. Finally, on the thirteenth morning of Sun Quan's attack on the city, he has been blocked. The dead city gate was hit by a rushing car, even if Zhang Liao and Man Chong tried to block it, it was still difficult to restore the city's broken ending. He had to protect Man Chong from the encirclement and retreat to Shouchun to re-garrison!
