Chapter 597

The Liang and western armies fought fiercely from morning to dusk. Although the Liang army once occupied the city wall, they were unable to invade Wuchang City in the end.

The setting sun was as bloody as the siege. Liang's army who was sieging the city dropped a large number of wreckage of siege equipment and retreated like a tide.

The western army on the top of the city did not cheer when they saw the Liang army retreating. The attack on the first day was so fierce that the Liang army almost attacked the city, and they would definitely face a more fierce attack later.

At this time, Sun Kewang stood at the top of the city, looking at the retreating Liang army, and the soldiers in the west of the city were silently packing up the bodies and helping the wounded away.

"Burn all the trenches on the moat, relocate the horse-rejected and deer antlers, and dig more pits." Sun Kewang instructed.

After the Liang army retreated, a group of Western soldiers left the city and began to clean up the bodies outside the city, burn down the trench bridge built by the Liang army, and re-arrange obstacles outside the city.

At this time, in the Liang army camp, Gao Huan looked at the raging fire under the city wall and ordered the Liang army soldiers to retreat into the city after the Western Army was finished, and then they went to collect the body, and then turned around and entered the tent.

In the Liang army tent, the generals of the Liang army who had not fought such a tough battle for a long time were not discouraged, but felt a little regretful, thinking that the Liang army was just one breath away and a little strength, and rushed into Wuchang City.

When everyone saw Gao Huan enter the tent, the generals who were indignant immediately stopped their voices and stood up to salute, "King!"

Gao Huan sat down in the coach's position, glanced at everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "I have seen it today. What do you think about this?"

Wu Ruyi said: "Report to the king, my ministers and others attacked Xicheng, the soldiers fought to the death and rushed to the city wall. If so~~~"

Gao Huan waved his hand, "The soldiers fought to the death, and I could see clearly from behind. The army was prepared for more than a month, and the preparations were not enough. I wanted to hear, why did the soldiers fail to attack the city?"

Wu Ruyi sat down when he heard the words, and everyone was talking for a while. The naval commander Liu Hui said, "Your Majesty, I and others were ordered to raid the Xicheng when the fierce battle in the East City. At first, the soldiers relied on ships and guns to suppress them, but the Western Army could not react in time and climbed to the top of the city. However, the Western Army's reinforcements came, they could not do it."

Gao Huan asked, "What's the reason?"

Liu Hui said: "The river beach is too shallow, and the large ships cannot stand up. The small boats carry limited siege equipment. The soldiers only bring simple city climbing ladders and do not have large equipment. Once the city is prepared, it will be difficult to rush up."

Gao Huan nodded when he heard the words. The navy on the river could only raid, without large equipment. Once the Western Army reacted and withstand the raid, it would be difficult to reach the city.

When the generals heard the words, they understood Gao Huan's meaning. Hao Yaoqi said: "King, the East City cannot be attacked. The city thinks that it is mainly Sun Kewang who prepared stone throwers and archers on the back of the city wall. They hid behind the city wall without being disturbed, but the soldiers were going to charge against the rocks and arrows fired from behind the city wall, and the casualties were too great."

At this time, Wu Ruyi said: "There is another point. Although we are preparing large-scale siege equipment, these things are too big and slow to move. They are easily attacked by the Western Army. Most of the equipment is destroyed by artillery and stone throwing machines on the road. A small number of them were ignited by the fire pots thrown by the Western Army before they even approached the city wall."

Gao Huan listened to everyone's words, stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, "It seems that only when the tunnel is dug into the city and jumped directly into the tunnel, can he have the chance to attack the city."

It was Yeliang's army. After the Western Army retreated into the city, they cleared the Liang army's body that the Western Army had dropped.

After a day of siege, the Liang army lost more than 3,000 people and lost a battalion, which was a heavy loss.

In June, the weather is hot and the body is not treated, which can easily cause plague.

As long as the Liang army on the top of the city did not destroy the obstacles they laid out outside the city, they would not shoot the civilians who went to collect the corpse.

Gao Huan ordered all the bodies to be burned, and then ordered all the troops to prepare to continue to attack the city.

Two days later, the three-day deadline for breaking the city stipulated by Gao Huan had passed, but with the day and night of more than 10,000 civilians, the tunnel finally dug under the city wall.

In the early morning, the war drums of the Liang army camp sounded again, and the Liang army units came out one after another, holding equipment and setting up a large formation in the East City again.

At this time, Sun Kewang led a group of generals to climb the city wall and inspected it. Suddenly, the Western soldiers at the top of the city exclaimed, and white smoke rose from the Liang army artillery formation outside the city, and a loud "boom boom boom" sound came.

Sun Kewang's face changed, and the guards beside him were already squatting down with their bodies in exclamation.

"Bang bang bang" loudly, and shells roared, causing gravel on the city to splash.

"Gao Huan is going to attack the city again!" Sun Kewang pushed away the guard, stood up, looked out of the city, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Don't panic! All departments are ready to defend, be sure to defend the city! Quick!"

As they spoke, the soldiers of the Western Army climbed to the top of the city wall, and the archers and gunners were in their positions. A hundred stone throwers on the north side of the city wall had been loaded with stone bullets. Just when the Liang army approached, they gave the Liang army a head-on blow.

At this time, the Liang army's artillery bombardment outside the city continued, and more than 200 artillery pieces poured fire towards the top of the city.

Tens of thousands of elite Liang troops stood behind the cannon formation and were ready to go, and decided to chew on the hard bones of Wuchang again.

At this time, Gao Huan still patrolled the various formations, then returned to the central army and answered the order to attack.

After a while, Hao Yaoqi ran away in front of the formation again to inspire morale. The Liang army's various formations shouted thunderously.

Seeing the Liang army who was frustrated in the attacks two days ago, the morale of the Western Army on the city was still rising. They couldn't help but feel scared and held their weapons tightly.

At this time, Hao Yaoqi pulled his horse and stood up, raised his sword, and waved forward, "Attack!"

The generals shouted loudly, leading by example, tens of thousands of coalition forces surged like a tide, and they were all over the place.

Sun Kewang frowned slightly at the top of the city. The Liang army's attack was different from the previous attack. It lacked a lot of large equipment and was only divided into two waves. Moreover, the large group of swords and shield soldiers behind actually crossed the shield chariot and archers and rushed to the front.

Over the past few days, Sun Kewang has also studied Gao Huan and his heart suddenly became shaking.

With a loud "boom", a section of the city wall in the east of Wuchang City suddenly rose upwards, and then fell heavily. The entire section of the city wall suddenly collapsed, and rolling yellow dust rose.

"Kill!" Seeing this, the Liang soldiers immediately cheered and rushed down the city with a roar.

Sun Kewang was shocked when he saw this. He knew that Gao Huan was digging the tunnel, but he didn't expect to do this. He hurriedly shouted: "Person Guard, fill the gap immediately!"

The reserve team in the city immediately gathered from various streets to the gap.

At this time, the western army at the top of the city was shocked and found that the Liang army was approaching the west of the city. They immediately fired muskets, and the stone throwing machines behind the city wall swung their armbars together, and the huge rocks soared into the air and smashed towards the Liang army formation group.

For a moment, the battle began to heat up.

The Liang army soldiers divided into several strands and attacked Wuchang's southern city, north city and east city.

On the ground, the Liang army soldiers roared and thundered in the mountains and seas, and on the river, the Liang army's gunboats and artillery fired volleys. The war scene was extremely grand.

Looking up the building, Gao Huan saw that the Liang army launched the largest siege since the Luoyang siege.

At this time, the two armies fought fiercely, and the most intense battle was undoubtedly the gap that was blown down and the city wall that was collapsed by artillery earlier.

An hour passed, and the Liang army at the collapsed place had rushed to the highest point. Both sides exchanged their lives and fought, and soldiers were constantly being hacked to death and rolled down. Liang army also appeared on various sections of the city walls.

Looking at the car, Zhou Yanru showed joy on his face, "King, as long as you work harder, the city will be broken today!"

At this time, a hint of relaxation appeared on Gao Huan's face. Just as he was about to wave his hand to order and join his own iron camp in his personal army, Yang Yan hurriedly climbed up the tower and whispered to Gao Huan with an anxious look on his face.

Gao Huan's expression changed drastically when he heard the words, and he quickly waved his hand and ordered: "Hurry up! I'll stop the troops!"

The golden sound of "Dangdang" sounded. Liang Jun, who was sieging the city, couldn't believe his ears. Seeing the soldiers behind him retreating in a hurry, he quickly abandoned the enemy and hurriedly left the battlefield.

The soldiers of the Western Army who were struggling to support them all saw that they were inexplicable and looked after the Liang army.
