Chapter 922 : New City Gate
This battle made Chen Youliang feel scared of the strength of Hongdu City. He did not attack the city in the following days. Instead, he listened to Zhang Dingbian's advice and divided his troops to occupy Ji'an as a habitat for a large army of 600,000. But what he did not expect was that the renovated Hongdu City was stronger.
On the seventh day of the fifth month, Chen Youliang, who had been resting, launched another attack on Hongdu.
"Woo... Woo...?" A rapid sound of horns sounded, and Xiao Yun, who had just fallen asleep, jumped up from the bed with a tremor. The battle these days has prevented him from sleeping well. He has been busy building fortifications, opening up trenches, organizing soldiers to train the mandarin duck formations, and almost didn't sleep well. It was not until this morning that he had been busy with all this and took off his armor and went to bed for a while.
Deng Yu, who was lying beside him, jumped up and looked at Xiao Yun and said, "Brother, isn't it that Chen Youliang is here to attack the city?"
Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Listen to the sound of the horn, it is rapid and rhythmic, and is faintly accompanied by the sound of horse hooves. Most of the time, Chen Youliang's army is coming again?"
"Go and take a look!" Deng Yu grabbed his clothes and ran out while wearing them.
Xiao Yun hurriedly followed and left the tent, but heard shouts of killing everywhere. The city gates of Fuzhou were already full of soldiers, and everyone was running on the city wall. The wood and rocks were raised one by one by one. They were knocked down the city tower while shouting. The ladders were crazily raised, and they were cut off by the soldiers walking back and forth, pushing down. The screams and screams quickly spread across Hongdu City. Feather arrows were flying all over the sky. Many soldiers even threw the burning hot oil pan to the bottom of the city, and heard a terrible cry, and then lifted them back to the oil pan, and continued to add oil and water to burn.
Although the oil pan takes time, this weapon is the most lethal to the Han army under the city. It only takes a little bit of it to make it cry and howl, and the power of the siege immediately weakens a lot.
The two of them didn't expect that you were just at the moment when you closed your eyes. The Han army had already attacked the city for most of the time. No one commanded the soldiers in the city, and no one conveyed the orders. But everyone was guarding every place in the city, silently holding the weapons and holding the weapons in their hands, killing one enemy after another. The shouts under the city were all silent, and every soldier was calm.
Deng Yuhe Xiao Yun looked at each other. While they felt relieved, they felt a little ashamed. They hurried to the city gate. As soon as they arrived at the edge of the city, they heard a shout: "Mr. Xiao, Lord Deng, be careful..." Before the word "care" was spoken, two sharp swords flew over in front of the two of them. They heard "Du, Du" two times, followed by two screams, and shot into the chests of the two soldiers behind them, and died in the end. Xiao Yun was shocked and sweat beads were all over and thought to himself: "Damn, it seems that Chen Youliang has increased his offensive again?"
After a little calming down, he rolled on the spot and rolled to the front of the city gate. He hid behind a battlement in the city wall and looked down with his eyes squinted. He almost screamed out when he saw hundreds of thousands of soldiers under the city gate, and everyone tied the shuttle between his waist and holding a big knife. Under Chen Youliang's personal command, he ordered the flag officer to shuttle back and forth. Hundreds of thousands of Han troops were attacking the new city gate.
The siege wood made a roar and hit the new city gate one by one. Hongdu City, several feet tall, was trembling slightly under the impact of the siege wood. Xiao Yun, who was hiding behind the battlements of the city wall, obviously felt the trembling of the city wall.
What surprised him even more was that under the city wall several feet high, countless Han soldiers shouted and shot into the city wall desperately with the ladders in the clouds, shuttles, and hooks, without following the shuttles in the clouds, and climbing upwards without any life or death. The ladders in the clouds and hooks were climbing up. A large number of powerful crossbow shooters behind him, and everyone was wearing bright armor, with shields in front of them to block them, covering their rounds of shooting and waves of attacks, and they were not for life or death.
The guard of the new city gate was Xue Xian. What was surprising was that he did not let the two thousand soldiers in the city defend the battle, but stood on the city tower and looked silently at the Han army down the city tower, waiting silently. The two thousand soldiers on the city tower were all covered in silver armor, everyone held a single sword in their hands, and everyone had a quiver behind them.
"Boom! Boom!"
Under the city gate, the sound of siege wood hitting the gate came in like thunder.
"Report... Report... Report to Your Majesty... Ask Your Majesty to Hong Fu, our soldiers have already attacked the gate of the new city and are now breaking through the gate of the city... "The news of a young general siege every moment of the city is passed on to the big tent of the hill.
"Okay... OK! After capturing the new city gate, the Hongdu City was flattened in one fell swoop!" Chen Youliang, who was wearing a dragon robe, looked happily. He walked out of the tent and narrowed his eyes for a while. He saw that everyone in the Han army was not afraid of life and death, and rushed to the city tower. However, Zhu army on the city tower had no resistance.
"Okay... OK... The new city gate is indeed going to be captured... OK..." After a while of praise, Chen Youliang laughed at the sky and said in a deep voice: "Send the order and let the soldiers use the Lu Bus to climb the city tower!"
"yes!"
Lu Gongche is a giant siege chariot invented by Jiang Shang, and it is also the largest chariot in the world. The chariot is several meters high and dozens of meters long. The chariot is divided into five layers. Each floor has a ladder for up and down. The chariot can carry hundreds of warriors, equipped with organic crossbows, poison arrows, guns, halberds, swords, spears and other weapons, and equipment to destroy the city wall facilities. During the attack, everyone pushed the car to the foot of the city, and the roof of the car could be as good as the city wall. The soldiers rushed to the city through the overpass to fight with the enemy. Under the car's under the car, they used tools such as crashing wood to destroy the city wall. However, due to the complex disassembly and difficult to move, they were rarely used in fierce battles. Chen Youliang, considering the sturdy city of Hongdu, ordered people to build many such giant siege chariots after dozens of days of rest.
"Haha...No need now, when will I wait?"
Like a boat, about 50 meters high, with heavy buildings, cattle and leather covering the left and right, and boards like flat ground. A large number of Lu Gongbus were built by thousands of Han troops. Thousands of Han troops, everyone was wearing their hair and swords, and climbing the city tower with the Lu Gongbus.
Under the city gate, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of the Han army hitting the gate spreading to the city tower like thunder. Every time it hit, the shouts of the Han army under the city gate were higher than the other!
