281 King Wu's Sword Battalion!
King Xiang Bi of Wu looked at the entire battlefield filled with smoke, and his face gradually became gloomy.
The camp of 10,000 archers led by Li Yu was promoted with fifty stone throwers and fifty ladders. The damage was extremely heavy when the hundreds of small steel cannons and musketeers shot at the top of Danyang City.
In just one incense stick, two rounds of fire fell down, causing ten stone throwers and twenty cloud ladders to be damaged, and thousands of archers were killed and injured.
However, the stone thrower destroyed the Danyang Fort in the city.
The stone thrower only needs to hit three or four rounds, repeatedly compare the distance, and calibrate it, and the shooting hit can improve the accuracy of the head. After three or four rounds, most of the stone thrower will be destroyed.
"Father, why are the two armies so different from each other?"
The prince Xiang Xian was shocked and looked panicked. He also saw that if he continued to shoot like this, the stone thrower would definitely be completely destroyed.
"gunpowder!"
"Matchrope!"
"artillery!"
"This is an epoch-making magic weapon! Any invention is enough to reverse the battlefield. What's more, Xiao Hunhou invented so many in one breath."
"Little Hunhou, why don't he serve me? If he is willing to surrender, I... can even give him the title of Prince and the title of Three Duke!"
King Xiang Bi of Wu's King looked gloomy and pulled the reins tightly, sighing heavily.
Ten thousand archers, cloud ladders, stone throwers, Danyang musketeers and small steel cannons shot at Danyang City, obviously they had no chance of winning.
However, their sacrifices still played a role - they dragged the small steel cannon and Danyang gunpowder gunmen in the shooting, leaving them with no time to attack the charge of the Wu army camp on the ground.
Danyang musketeers and artillery soldiers are among the elites of the 50,000 to 60,000 defenders in Danyang City, and are elite soldiers refined by Xiao Hunhou himself. It is normal for the archers to fail to win.
Although the Wu army archers were beaten very fiercely, their sacrifices still bought time for the overall situation.
King Xiang Bi of Wu looked at the other side of the battlefield - the South City Gate Battlefield and the Slope Battlefield.
As long as these two points, any point breaks through.
The 200,000 Wu army can now be used to break through this breakthrough point, desperately ripped apart and poured into Danyang City. In the city and between the narrow alleys, gunpowder guns and small steel cannons have much less effect.
Four or five times the force is enough to completely eliminate the Danyang army.
...
South City Gate.
Fifty or sixty bags of sandbags were pierced by soldiers and threw them off from the city gate. A small sand dune that was nearly meter high was immediately piled up.
This inconspicuous little sand dune immediately blocked the way forward of the city-killing car and couldn't get through.
Ten thousand miscellaneous soldiers of the Wu army pushed ten cars to the outside of the city gate, rushed up one after another, trying to dig the sand dunes and clear the road.
"Arrow!"
"Roll the wood!"
"Oil barrel, smash it quickly!"
"Reject the horse and smash it down!"
On the top of the city, the defenders immediately began to fight back.
As the large number of arrows fell, hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers at the city gate were caught. These miscellaneous soldiers did not even have leather armor and could not stop the shooting of the arrows.
On both sides of the city gate, many soldiers rushed up with ladders, put them on the city wall and climbed up.
The guards of Danyang City were all well-trained sword-armored elite soldiers from the court, wearing iron armor. How could these miscellaneous soldiers climb up? One by one, they cut them down.
The mistresses screamed and fell down.
The archers behind the sword armored soldiers shot arrows under the city one after another.
Swish~ Swish!
Within one hundred steps, densely packed soldiers were within their range.
The miscellaneous soldiers attacking the South City Gate failed in a wave of charge and were beaten to death. They left behind thousands of corpses and three siege cars, quickly retreated hundreds of steps away to rest, and then reassembled and launched another wave of attack.
King Xiang Bi of Wu frowned slightly when he saw the miserable situation in the South City Gate, but he didn't care.
What are the miscellaneous soldiers of the Wu army? They were just a group of farmers in the field dozens of days ago, and they could still be more powerful when fighting with the wind.
But in front of the elite infantry in the Danyang City court, there was a group of scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers, and they could not take any advantage.
The only function is probably to consume the physical strength and arrows of the city guards. Miscellaneous soldiers are only suitable to follow the main force and get the bargain.
The mistress could not take the South City Gate, which was as expected by him.
His eyes looked at the wooden frame again.
Around the wooden frames of the slope are 10,000 elite infantrymen in the court.
After the attack, it was also a ten thousand elite sword-armored soldiers carefully refined by the Wu army.
Both sides are elite soldiers, wearing iron armor and extremely strong defense.
Two camps of ten thousand people, five hundred-long slope wooden frames under the city wall, have been completely fought together, and a fierce battle began.
The Danyang defenders were heavy rifle shield soldiers, with shields stacked in layers, row after row, and long spears were like forests.
The Wu army was more of a sword-armored soldier, escorting ten city-killing cars and advancing forward.
"kill--!"
"Attack!"
"Break their shields!"
General Jiang Wei, who was guarding a city-slamming car, shouted loudly.
The city-killing car crashed into a shield, and immediately overturned the heavy armored soldiers behind the shield.
Immediately, five or six sword-armored soldiers squeezed in through the gap and slashed at the spearmen. Several spearmen around were immediately chopped to the ground.
However, the spears in the back row stabbed in one after another.
Those swordsman soldiers were stabbed into hedgehogs in the blink of an eye.
The spearman behind immediately rushed forward with his shield, blocking the gap that was knocked open.
The two army of 10,000 people were completely intertwined, and no one could gain a big advantage, and it was difficult to solve the problem. Both sides were killed and injured, with hundreds of people.
On the top of Danyang City, musketeers and artillery were shooting against Wu Jun's ladder and trenchers, and they had no time to care about them.
King Xiang Bi of Wu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The breakthrough is still here on the slope.
If these ten thousand elite sword-armored soldiers can break through the heavy-surgeon formation of the Danyang defenders, rush up the slope, and stand at the top of Danyang City, they will win this battle.
He doesn't have much time.
Half an hour!
At most half an hour, the camp of 10,000 archers, fifty stone throwers and fifty cloud ladders led by Li Yu would be destroyed.
At that time, one hundred cannons and six thousand musketeers from Danyang City were able to free up their hands to deal with the elite sword armored soldiers of ten thousand people on the slope.
At that time, it was almost impossible to break through this slope again.
However, the two camps of 10,000 people from both sides fought to the death on the slope, completely mixed together. Not to mention half an hour, even if they fight for one day, they will not be able to win or lose.
King Xiang Bi of Wu considered the remaining chips in his hand.
In order to lay this slope wooden frame, more than 10,000 soldiers were killed directly in battle.
There are three 30,000 soldiers and soldiers in the east, west and north gates of Danyang City, and a total of 90,000 soldiers are sieging the city. It is hard to say how effective it is.
At the south gate, he dispatched an elite archer camp and all siege equipment to carry out long-range shooting to restrain musketeers and artillery, and was already in decline.
An elite infantry battalion was mainly attacking the slope and fighting with the defenders.
Three thousand soldiers attacked the South City Gate and the surrounding city walls.
The Wu army has as many as 160,000 troops, and is desperately sieging the city.
The 50,000 or 60,000 defenders in Danyang City must have all gone to the city on all sides and defended the city in all sections to prevent any breakthrough.
He now has two elite light cavalry battalions of ten thousand people, ten thousand elite infantry and twenty thousand miscellaneous soldiers, and has not been dispatched.
The Light Cavalry Battalion could hardly reach the battlefield.
What he really could use was the ten thousand elite infantry.
For these ten thousand elite soldiers, they must carefully select a weak breakthrough point in Danyang City, and they will hit it with one blow.
"King, I have observed carefully! The six thousand musketeers and one hundred small steel cannons of the Danyang defenders were all at the southern city gate. Ten thousand heavy armored soldiers and five thousand archers were assembled.
The other three walls each have three thousand swordsman soldiers and one or two thousand archers. The weakest one is in the West Gate, where the wall has been disrepaired for so long.
There are still 20,000 light cavalry in Danyang, who remain unmoved in the city. However, there are many horse-resisting horses and sand and gravel piles in each city gate, and they cannot leave the city for the time being."
A strategist whispered in the Wu King Xiang Bi.
"Um!"
A sharp cold light flashed in King Xiang Bi of Wu's eyes.
The more critical the time comes, the more you need to be calm.
His sharpest knife must be used at this time. This sharp knife must be stabbed at the weakest point of Danyang City.
He nodded slightly, made up his mind, and shouted: "Xu San, you will be responsible for 10,000 personal soldiers of the king, three powerful generals and three hundred warriors, break through the West City Gate! If you can't attack, come and see you."
"Yes! The last general takes the order, and the last general himself rushes to the city."
