280 The decisive battle of the Wu army, advance!
When hundreds of large and small siege equipment of the Wu army lined up in front of the 100,000 troops, it formed a surging momentum of a storm that was about to come and wind filled the building.
Thirty large pointed siege cars.
Each was driven by one hundred infantry soldiers. The car was a flatbed cart with a sharp log hanging on it with wooden racks. It hit the city gate like a bell ringing.
An ordinary city gate can quickly knock out a big hole.
As long as a siege car reaches the gate of Danyang City, the dilapidated old city gate of Danyang City will definitely be broken.
Fifty ladders lined up in a row, thousands of archers stood above the ladder, holding ignition oil arrows in hand, and could shoot dense ignition oil arrows.
Fifty stone throwers were creaking and loading huge rocks weighing dozens of kilograms into the shooting bag.
"Xian'er, you're watching how your father commands this battle and captures this Danyang City. In the future, you will lead troops to fight. These are all necessary."
King Xiang Bidao of Wu.
"Yes, my son must study it carefully!"
The prince Xiang Xian said excitedly.
A war of hundreds of thousands of people is rare in life. The war seen on paper is completely different from what you see with your own eyes.
"General Li Yu, you lead a camp of 10,000 elite archers, manipulate fifty ladders and fifty stone throwers, push forward one mile, and stand by at any time!"
"Yes! The last general will take the order!"
"General Jiang Xiao, you lead a camp of 10,000 soldiers and carry ten siege vehicles to attack the south city gate. At any cost, you can break open the city gate!"
"yes!"
"General Jiang Wei, you lead a camp of elite infantry with ten thousand people, and carry ten siege vehicles...... to impact the slope wooden frame!
Didn’t they use heavy-surgeon shield spear to block my king’s cavalry army? See if the human wall composed of these heavy-surgeon spear soldiers can block the siege cars.”
Xiang Bi sneered, but waved his whip and said.
...
A large camp of elite infantry soldiers of the Wu army broke away from the main army formation and came to half a mile in front of the slope wooden frame, pushing ten cities to hit the city and start charging.
Another large camp of 10,000-man infantry soldiers in the Wu army headed to the south gate to prepare for charge.
In addition, there were two large camps of soldiers from ten thousand people, using wooden ladders to prepare to climb the city wall.
The Wu army sent four 10,000 troops to attack the southern city wall in one breath.
Chu Tianxiu looked at the movements of the two camps of the Wu army and immediately ordered a general of the court, saying, "General Han Yun, you lead five thousand archers and five thousand sword-armored soldiers to guard the southern city gate and the southern city wall. Throw the horses and sandbags, block the southern city gate, and stop the city-hit car from approaching! You must guard it."
"yes!"
Han Yun immediately brought five thousand archers and five thousand armored soldiers to set up defenses on the south city gate and the walls on both sides. He threw a bunch of sandbags and horse-resisting horses at the city gate, holding gunpowder guns on the head of the south city gate.
"Yu'er, you bring ten thousand infantry to guard the slope."
Chu Tianxiu asked.
"Um!"
Li Yu nodded.
She immediately ordered a heavy step in the camp, rushed out of the slope wooden frame, and set up a formation of ten thousand people at the foot of Danyang City.
Ten thousand imperial courts have heavy infantry, and they face the 10,000 elite infantry of the Wu army. The troops are of equal strength and are not at a disadvantage. Although there are cars hitting the city on the opposite side... this thing can only hit the city and cannot kill the infantry.
Moreover, there were five thousand Danyang musketeers on the city wall, with a high position of support from one hundred small steel cannons.
If the Wu army wanted to break through the slope's defense, it would definitely be an extremely tragic tough battle.
"kill--!"
The four 10,000 troops of the Wu army began to launch a dense charge towards the south gate, slopes, and the city walls on both sides at the same time.
"Military, open fire!"
"Arrow!"
At the top of Danyang City, the generals roared angrily.
The entire southern city wall started to fight.
...
The remaining six Wu army, the formation of 10,000 people, slowly advanced forward.
Heavy siege equipment is all in front of the army.
Fifty stone throwers advanced one mile away from the Danyang city wall and stopped.
One of the stone throwers began to calibrate the angle and threw out a large stone to see if it could hit the city wall.
"boom!"
A large stone fell dozens of steps outside the city wall.
Didn't shoot.
The stone thrower continued to calibrate and shot further.
Fifty ladders were pushed closer, about one hundred and fifty steps from the city wall. Because the ladders were three meters high, the range of archers was farther away than that of the Danyang musketeers on the city wall.
"Li Gannian, use small steel cannons to scatter freely and destroy all stone throwers and ladders!"
Chu Tianxiu looked outside the city and said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
Li Gannian received the order.
He took a group of students from the Military Academy, holding a ruler for calibration of the orientation in his hands, and calibrating the range of the small steel cannon.
The small cannon can be shot one mile away, and the range is sufficient.
Use small steel cannons to clear each ladder and stone thrower at a fixed point. This requires high-precision shooting, which is of course not an easy task.
boom!
Hundreds of small steel cannons began to fire at fifty ladders and fifty stone throwers outside the city.
The artillery fire roared.
Fifty stone throwers were shooting big rocks at the top of the city, and the small cannons on the city wall were also aiming and fighting back.
Obviously, the accuracy of the small steel cannon is much greater than that of the stone thrower that shoots stones.
Fifty large stones were shot out, hitting only five or six pieces of the city. The rest were either close to each other and landed in the open space outside the city. Or far away, landing in the residential areas inside the city.
Even if it landed on the top of the city, it only hit the city wall, injured several soldiers, and did not hit any of the forts.
As many as five shells hit the stone thrower in one round of shooting, and hit more than ten cloud ladders.
The archers around the stone thrower were injured and killed by the explosion. More than ten sub-ladders collapsed, and the casualties were even more severe.
Bang ~!
Five stone throwers were directly smashed into important parts, and even collapsed completely, and they could never be used again.
One volley shot lost one tenth.
"Aim! Aim and shoot!"
"Shot rockets at the head of the city, suppress musketeers and turrets!"
The Wu army's archer general Li Yu was so angry that he cursed.
The archers were scolded and kept silent, and desperately shook the ropes to prepare for the next round of throwing stones.
This stone thrower uses a twisted rope and throws a stone, and there is no accurate head at all. Whether it can be shot is purely a chance. Even if it is completely calibrated, it will still be shot missed this time, and then it will be shot again next time.
The archers shoot more accurately.
However, they are too close to the city wall and they are in extreme danger themselves.
The firing rate of the small steel cannon is much faster than that of the stone thrower. The stone thrower has not completed the second round of preparations, and the small steel cannon fires again.
Rumble!
In just one incense stick, five or six stone throwers and more than ten cloud ladders were hit. The number of archers killed and injured by the Wu army had more than a thousand people.
The small steel cannons at the top of the city, with the attack of ignition arrows and large stones, were not destroyed, and less than a dozen people were killed or injured. This was because a barrel of gunpowder was ignited, causing the explosion of Danyang soldiers around him.
"This...how is this happening! Why is the gap so huge?!"
The Wu army's archer general Li Yu looked shocked and could not believe it.
Chapter completed!
