Chapter 422 Breaking Chuzhou City!

Dong Zunhui was covered in armor, standing on the tower, holding a shed in his hand and looking at the city wall. Whenever he found Tang soldiers gathered together to try to counterattack, the artillery observers around him immediately used flags to send messages to the catapult position downstairs. Then the catapult cart adjusted its position and smashed it to the crowd.

Dong Zunhui nodded with satisfaction. This is the attack mode that catapults should have, which is precise and efficient! The extensive attack method of bombing in the past was of little effect and should have been eliminated long ago. However, the emperor has always consciously controlled the scale of the attack method of catapults, and has never allowed the governors from all over the country to understand the inside story. Therefore, most of the troops recruited from various places do not have this skill.

Under Dong Zunhui's command, the catapult car continued to clean up the city head of Chuzhou, disrupting the establishment of the city head. Although Zhang Yanqing tried his best to command and dispatch, he also lost control of the troops in a short period of time. He could only disrupt the chaos and ordered the soldiers to fight with the Zhou army. At this time, the commander of the Zhou army, Murong Yanzhao, who was responsible for commanding the battle of the city heading, discovered the opportunity and immediately ordered the entire army to move forward and all of them into the battle of the city heading!

As Zhou soldiers climbed to the top of the city one after another, the Zhou army's catapults stopped fearing accidental injuries, leaving only the archer troops deployed from the front to still shoot, blocking the Tang army defenders in the distance to the city.

Zhang Yanqing immediately shouted: "Brothers, rush up with me and drive the Zhou army down the city!"

After saying that, Zhang Yanqing led a group of personal soldiers to rush up with a long spear in his hand. The general was brave. Seeing Zhang Yanqing killing three in and three out of the Zhou army, he was still shouting and fighting fiercely. His soldiers also had the courage to follow Zhang Yanqing and rushed up to fight with the Zhou army.

Although the Zhou army was large, the number of people climbed up the city through the ladder was relatively small. After being suppressed by the defenders, they suddenly became unstable and retreated step by step. Especially the Zhou army, which was facing Zhang Yanqing, was forced to the vicinity of the battlement and was almost forced to go down to the city wall!

Seeing the critical situation, Murong Yanzhao, who knew that the emperor was watching the battle in the camp, was immediately anxious. He shouted: "Brothers, Your Majesty is here to supervise the battle. If the Southern Barbarians force our brothers down the city wall, what are our faces?! The good man follows me to kill the thief!"

Murong Yanzhao roared angrily, pulled out his waist and rushed towards the city wall. Although the Zhou army besieged the city for many days, most senior generals were remotely controlled, so where did they appear on the battlefield?! After Murong Yanzhao rushed like this, the personal soldiers in charge of the guards secretly cursed: the head coach died, and these personal guards who were not good at escorting will be punished and imprisoned, and even implicated their families. Instead of making a move at that time, it is better to move forward bravely and become martyrs! As the guards charged desperately, more and more Zhou soldiers were driven by them and desperately launched a counterattack. Zhang Yanqing and the others' counterattack wave were immediately extinguished by the Zhou soldiers!

Seeing Zhang Yanqing and Murong Yanzhao fighting together, Zheng Zhaoye, who was staying on the city tower to watch the battle, nervously stamping his feet. He knew that this was the critical period. If Zhang Yanqing could not stop Murong Yanzhao's counterattack, the fall of Chuzhou City would inevitably be inevitable! After thinking about it, Zheng Zhaoye left the archers to continue covering and shooting in the city tower, leading his personal guards to rush out of the city tower and rushed forward in the direction of Murong Yanzhao!

Seeing a group of soldiers rushing out from the city tower, everyone knew that this was a reinforcement from the Tang army. Even if they accidentally injured their soldiers, there was a need to fire. Dong Zunhui immediately ordered loudly: "Architecture!"

The observer next to him quickly reported the coordinates of the direction of the tower, and immediately adjusted the stone casting cart that had already aimed at the direction of the city tower, and then started shooting. Zheng Zhaoye felt a sudden shock behind him, and was shocked by the shock wave of the stone bomb falling to the ground. He was always weak and couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood in the air!

The hundreds of Tang soldiers behind him were saturated by the Zhou army's catapult carts, and one ten was not left! Because the emperor personally led the expedition, the number of catapult carts in the Later Zhou army reached an unprecedented number. The attack density of the catapult carts was almost unimaginable to people at that time. Some stone bombs even collided hard in the air, scattered into dozens of gravels and hit the ground! Under such a dense attack, let alone the establishment of the system to attack forward, even survival became extremely lucky. By the time the catapult cart attack was over, this section of the city wall was raised by several feet, and blood mud and stone bombs filled the city wall!

Zhang Yanqing, Murong Yanzhao and others were almost shocked to the ground at the same time. Unlike Zhang Yanqing's troops' anxiety and despair and helplessness, Murong Yanzhao's troops' morale surged. The soldiers shouted and roared, knocking the trembling Tang army soldiers to the ground over and over again!

Seeing that the situation had reached the most dangerous point, Zhang Yanqing shouted loudly: "Reserve team, all go to the city!"

Hearing his orders, all his soldiers shouted: "Reserve team, all go to the city!"

The soldiers on duty last night were Zhang Yanqing's only reserve team. After hearing his order, they immediately rushed out of the Tibetan soldiers' cave and fought with the Zhou army. After most of the day of rest, these soldiers had recovered their strength. Faced with the Zhou army soldiers who had been fighting for a long time, they immediately gained the upper hand and repelled the Zhou army soldiers who had finally launched a counterattack.

The momentum of one go has declined and exhausted. After many hard battles, the Zhou army's troops who climbed the city have become the last of their strength. Although they fought hard, they could never defeat the Tang army's counterattack wave and could only passively retreat step by step. Even brave generals like Murong Yanzhao were forced to retreat step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by unknown Tang army soldiers holding spears!

Zheng Zhaoye pursed the blood on his lips and climbed up from the ground. Perhaps because he was hit just now, he felt that the city walls at his feet were shaking, giving people a shaking feeling!

Zheng Zhaoye walked forward a few steps, but his feet were still not steady. Seeing that the more than ten soldiers who survived around him were also shaking and shaking, Zheng Zhaoye was about to smile bitterly, and then heard a muffled sound, followed by a loud bang, and the wall suddenly collapsed!

At this time, a personal guard general from the Zhou army's imperial camp reported excitedly to Guo Rong: "Your Majesty, the city digging troops have successfully dug down the city wall of Chuzhou. The time for the decisive victory is here!"

Guo Rong smiled and issued an edict: "Tell the entire army to attack!"

Hearing his orders, tens of thousands of elite soldiers immediately shouted in unison and rushed up to the gap.

Zheng Zhaoye was somewhat lucky. He stood up from the collapsed city wall alone and shouted angrily: "Come on! Come on!" But this was like a mantis armed with a chariot. It didn't cause any waves at all, and it was immediately swallowed up by the crowd. Chuzhou City was then captured by the Zhou army! (To be continued...)
