Chapter 318 Artillery Commander (Part 2)
Chapter 318 Artillery Commander (Central)
When Zhang Long heard the movement, he subconsciously hid to the side and saw a square brick hitting the place he had just stood. (, watch the latest update of this book) But Zhang Hu was not so lucky. He was first smashed into his left shoulder by a brick, causing the shield he held in his left hand to fall to the ground; before he could scream, he was shot by the Northern Han army archers from the gap exposed by his left shoulder! Hearing the screams around, the soldiers in the Death Soldiers Camp were constantly hit, many of them were smashed to death, and some even had their white brains smashed out!
At this critical moment, Zhang Long calmed down instead. He shouted loudly: "Brothers, it's a death to retreat. Come with me!"
Zhang Long was right. The archers behind the Dead Warriors Camp are both their support and their supervising team. If the Dead Warriors Camp retreats at this time, the archers of the Later Zhou Dynasty would not show mercy and would definitely perform their duties of supervising the battle! The retreat faces the joint attacks of the Later Zhou and Northern Han armies; the soldiers can only save their lives by advancing!
At this time, the archers of the Later Zhou Dynasty also began to show their power, concentrating their efforts on shooting the enemy soldiers at the battlements, creating opportunities for the soldiers under the city. However, the soldiers, due to the accuracy, could only choose to extend the attack, with only three or four more accurate catapults, and were still attacking the enemy troops at the battlements.
Many soldiers from the Death Soldiers camp held a knife, held a wooden shield in one hand, and held a ladder in the other, and climbed up the city. The lucky soldiers rushed up with an arrow of a shield, jumped up the squadron, and then waved a long sword to fight against the defenders several times their own. The lucky soldiers were hit on the forehead by someone with a stone and fell to the ground hard on the ladder, and would spit out a mouthful of blood, but they could not die for a moment, and could not move, so they could only sank on the ground and wait for death!
Zhang Long's luck was pretty good. Just when he was halfway through, a stone bullet thrown by Dong Zunhui's troops hit the merry on the top of Zhang Long's head, smashing the two Northern Han soldiers ambushed there into meat pie. (, watch the latest update of this book)
Zhang Long, who was unsniped, was lucky enough to rush to the top of the city. He did not shout "Go closer to me" or "get bolt from me", but just lowered his head and rushed to fight!
It is a kingly way to make money in a quiet voice and keep a low profile. Instead of becoming a living target for other people's archers, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity when the archers of the Northern Han army did not notice him and rescue a few more subordinates, so as to get cover from their subordinates.
The soldiers who were selected for the Dead Soldiers' camp were basically outlaws and veterans who had been through the battlefield for a long time. How dare the new recruits commit these beheading crimes?! Although the defenders on the city kept fighting back, many soldiers of the Later Zhou army rushed up and fought with the soldiers of the Northern Han army.
After everyone's melee, all the archers became decorations. Whether they were the archers of the Later Zhou Dynasty or the archers of the Northern Han Dynasty, they all changed their targets.
At this time, Zhang Long then loudly commanded, gathered the nearby soldiers, rescued several small groups next to him, and combined with the power of everyone to form a semicircular formation and guard a breakthrough! Under their cover, the soldiers continued to successfully enter the city from this breakthrough!
Soon, more than 200 soldiers of the Later Zhou army rushed to the city, and the semicircular formation became stronger and stronger. The soldiers standing on the observation deck quickly conveyed the good news to Guo Rong. Guo Rong was overjoyed and immediately ordered loudly: "Send the order and rush up to another two thousand people!"
The messenger immediately waved the flag and signaled the corresponding troops to step forward. Two thousand soldiers waved their swords and guns, carried the long ladder and ran down Jinyang City.
Seeing that Hou Zhou did not send a large number of troops, but adopted the tactic of adding fuel, Li Cungui was very angry: You are a big country, why are you so stingy?! How can you be worthy of the catapult troops I have been trying to preserve?! Alas, it is a bit of meat, so I can barely eat it! If you don’t attack again, the enemy’s uptown troops may really become a climate!
Li Cungui ordered loudly: "Tele the mezzanine soldiers, order them to push the enemy ladder from the window, and cut off the enemy's way up the city! Tell the catapult troops, listen to my orders, and prepare to shoot!"
After hearing his order, he saw bricks constantly being pushed out from the inside of the city wall, revealing small windows. Then someone stretched out a spear from the window and hit the wooden ladder hard, knocking the soldiers on the wooden ladder and knocking them to the ground together!
The soldiers of the Later Zhou army did not expect that there would be a mezzanine in the city wall, nor did they expect that the soldiers in the mezzanine could attack them through small windows. Most of the long ladders were overthrown by Northern Han soldiers, and even Zhang Bao was smashed to the ground on the way to the city and died!
The soldiers of the Houzhou army who rushed to the city had no support and were forced to retreat frequently by the Northern Han army. They were about to be squeezed down from the city. Zhang Long hurriedly took out his horn and asked for support.
Hearing the sound of trumpet blowing on the city, the two thousand new soldiers quickly accelerated their pace and soon crashed into the attack range of the Jinyang defenders. At this time, Li Cungui shouted loudly: "Cat the stone car, shoot!"
However, at the same time, Dong Zunhui also shouted loudly: "Heavy Catstone Car, Shoot!"
The heavy catapult car, which was difficult to adjust, had already aimed at the city tower at the south gate. After hearing Dong Zunhui's order, the soldiers immediately issued a cannon, and listened to "dong dong dong dong..." Several loud noises, five or six huge rocks hit the city tower at the south gate of Jinyang almost at the same time! Although the city tower is relatively strong, it also made a squeaking sound, and a large amount of dust poured out from the beams and bricks, pouring all the people in the city tower all over!
Li Cungui was shocked. It seemed that the city tower was not safe anymore. While he moved, he shouted loudly: "Cat the stone car, fight back against the enemy!"
At this time, the catapulted chariot troops at the top of Jinyang City had just hedged against the Later Zhou army and achieved considerable results. Before everyone could consolidate and expand the results, they received the order to transfer the target. The soldiers did not dare to disobey, so they quickly stopped shooting, adjusted the angle, ballast, and prepared to fight against the Later Zhou soldiers.
However, Dong Zunhui had already ordered the medium-sized catapult car to stand by. Several fortune tellers and soldiers from tomb robbers quickly calculated the position of the enemy's catapult car. The medium-sized catapult car in the Later Zhou Dynasty immediately began to show its power! A quarter of an hour later, the catapult car troops at the south gate of Jinyang were smashed into parts!
Dong Zunhui was very excited and hurriedly urged the soldiers to continue attacking, but his subordinates were in a dilemma. Half an hour of attack had consumed all the stone inventory of the troops, and the ropes used in the catapult car began to break and they had to be replaced! The catapult car could not shoot on a large scale in the short term, so he could only sigh!
So Dong Zunhui could only see Zhang Long and the others being forced to get off the city wall and fell seriously injured! Dong Zunhui punched the catapult car beside him, alas!
