Vol 9 Chapter 409: Kaifeng offense and defense

Kaifeng Mansion has been operating by King Xiaoyao for many years. The city is tall, the pond is deep, the grain is abundant, and the water from the river is drawn into the moat. It is by no means easy to capture.
The army of the Taiping Road penetrated into the hinterland of the Central Plains and attracted Hu Qi to help. It besieged Kaifeng Prefecture for more than three months, and only pulled out eight camps on the periphery. For more than a hundred battles in Kaifeng Prefecture, the two sides were still helpless.
After Hu Qi arrived, he quoted the strategy of Han Shichang, known as the "Northern Gun King". He piled the earth as a mountain, and then pressed the strategy step by step. This made the scale of victory slightly tilted towards his side.
He drove 100,000 people to labor, and the earthen hills, which were generally high and low, continued to move towards the city walls, even if there were only a few feet a day, and they moved forward by more than a hundred feet in January.
Now the enemy's crossbowman, standing on the dirt hill, can shoot at each other with the guards on the city wall. According to this situation, without pushing the dirt hill under the wall, he can attack the city in one go.
Three directions and three earth hills forced the Kaifeng government to make several attempts to destroy the earth hills, but the Taiping Road had long been prepared. Not only the earth hills were equipped with spear infantry, but also those Hu Qi, who would also take the opportunity to assault. He was severely damaged by the generals in Kaifeng.
But with the news of the end of the martial arts conference, changes have also taken place in Taiping Road and Hu Qi. Obviously, retreat is not a problem.
But there is obviously not much time left for both sides to hesitate.
一 大 Early the next morning, while Ye Qingxuan and others were still waiting for the arrival of the Eagle King reinforcements, both Taiping Road and Hu Qi organized a large-scale attack, which was a tentative and risky fight.
The yak horn battalion blew all over.
A large crowd of blue towel troops poured out of the camps across the mountains and mountains, divided into five huge squares, each square was full of more than 10,000 people, lined up neatly.
Long, Long, Long!
There were dozens of war drums pulled by ox carts in the team, and the sound of drums continued to ruffle, and the flags were displayed everywhere, commanding the team to advance.
At the forefront of the team, more than 20 siege vehicles and Yunlou were slowly pushed forward.
Xun has advanced to the dirt hills sixty feet away. The head is turbulent and countless marksmen are in place. He starts to tentatively shoot arrows at this not too close distance to measure the distance between the two sides.
The garrison at Kaifeng House on the head of Wucheng City was also very busy, constantly carrying the garrison equipment in place, and large bundles of feather arrows were also carried up and distributed behind each soldier.
King Xiaoyao's soldiers, who have been polished for many years, are all majestic and powerful. In addition to the crossbowmen, everyone has a spear and a large sword, and a two-foot-long crutches are used to push, block, and stab the enemy army.
Alas, alas ...
The horn sounded.
The sound of drums and shouts of fighting slammed into a sudden masterpiece, and a crowd of people shouted forward, and the archers on Tushan and Yunlou began to bow and shoot arrows, and shot towards the city head.
At the same time, the ten thousand people launched more than ten aerial ladders, with more than twenty siege vehicles, rushed towards the city together.
On the head of Tancheng, Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath, and the scene of the ancient battlefield stimulated him with blood.
所谓 The so-called big scenes seen on TV are not even 1 / 10,000th worse than the real war.
In the real ancient war, no one would rush to the city with a long ladder, and the next one is a cloud ladder, which is a huge war instrument. Underneath is a huge wooden bed with six wheels. The long ladder is arranged on the body. Above the chassis, it is tilted at a certain angle, and a movable "auxiliary ladder" is added outside the main ladder. A pair of cymbals are installed at the top. When climbing to the city, the ladder can move freely up and down along the city wall, without the need to carry it at all. Raise your hand.
In addition to the ladder, most of the assault fighters will be hidden under the "siege vehicle", that is, an ancient armored vehicle, a triangular tent with a puppet, movable, thick leather and armor No bow, arrow, vermiculite, or gold juice can be treated like that.
"Five left strings, four upper arms, let go!"
On the head of Jijifang City, a military officer waved a pennant and loudly directed the stone thrower below the inside of the city wall.
Chant
With a gust of wind, a 300-pound boulder was thrown out, crossed a distance of fifty feet, rubbed across a cloud tower, slammed on the ground, rolled over ten feet away, and knocked down the Qingjin Army.
Peng Peng!
He was again a shooter of arrow rain shooting from the city head, dark clouds, and shooting at Yunlou and Tushan.
The repressive action of the party itself began.
The 10,000 Qingjin Army who fought each other, and the first 3,000 were all under the cover of the ladder and the siege vehicle. Even if they aimed at them, they could not achieve much effect.
The generals who commanded the battle were all combatants. They placed their targets in the unprotected Blue Turban Army, cut off the close connection between the siege equipment and most of the troops, and took good care of them. The enemy shooters on Yunlou and Tushan suppressed the other side, making it difficult for them to assist the siege men.
Only those enemies in the ladder and siege vehicle rushed under the wall smoothly.
Boom, boom!
Siege vehicles and ladders hit the base of the wall at the same time.
Crackling!
The auxiliary ladder on the Jinyun ladder popped up, and the top claws firmly gripped on the city wall.
Howling loudly!
Countless enemy soldiers got out of the ladder and siege vehicle, and rushed up along the ladder.
Riding on the ladder in the city head can't be overthrown by manpower at all, but it can be cut off.
Almost instantaneously, several savage warriors holding giant axes appeared at the city head position of each ladder, and they slammed the ladder with a large axe.
的 The soldier holding a long torch with a length of more than two feet reached out the long gun from the side wall of the woman and kept poking at the enemy troops on the ladder.
The snoring sounded, and several fierce blue towel army screamed and rolled down the ladder, hitting the top of the siege vehicle under the bottom, making a loud noise.
Rolling wood vermiculite is completely useless at this time ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Experienced generals are shouting to dump tung oil and use fire to burn these siege equipment.
Hey, hey, hey!
The enemy's archer kept on harassing. A strong man with an axe was shot through the neck with an arrow, but he didn't say a word. He slashed several times in a row and turned over an outcropping enemy. He finally exhausted and flew up , And the second enemy rolled down the ladder and smashed the city head.
"Arrow the arrow!"
A captain hissed and roared, and a large number of archers turned their targets to the cloud tower 80 feet away, but although a large number of sharp arrows could shoot in the distance, they were nailed to the shields outside the cloud tower, which could not cause the opposite shooter Effective killing.
Rather, after a few shots of a stone bomb went empty, finally one hit and dropped a cloud tower.
Ye Yexuan remembered it with a cold hum. He lifted a 300-pound stone bomb for a rock thrower, took the weight in his hand, aimed slightly, and then threw it away.
boom!
Sawdust flew and flesh flew.
The top floor of Jinyun Tower was instantly smashed by stone bombs, and a scream came from the interior of Yunlou, and the shooters in the lower floors were suddenly in a mess.
After the moment of silence, the cheers of his soldiers began to scream.
Ye Qingxuan was very interesting, and he threw his hand and lost a stone bullet again--
Boom!
The man on the mountain turned over, the smoke billowed, and the previously arrogant blue-jacketed archer was scared to discard his bow and arrow and hid behind the mountain.
Alas.
