Chapter 547
Chen Feng, Datou and others hid in a corner on the city head of Lizhengmen. This was a dead corner, and the bows and arrows could not be shot. However, Huihui cannons, both sides are now rushing to each other, and there are fewer people greeting the city head.
As for Lao Desha, when the other party started to shoot the projectile, Lao Desha had already gone down. If Lao Desha saw too much of this kind of situation, he might have incontinence.
"Kukuo attacked quite fiercely," Chen Feng said: "It seems that Kukuo may have suffered thousands of casualties. Unfortunately, there are still too few archers on the top of the city."
"Yes, if it were all crossbow machines or bowl guns, this team would not be able to get close to the city." Liu Gou'er also said from the side.
This is the first time Datou has seen such a situation. Fortunately, he has received an explanation from Lord Chen in advance. How to deal with it? The order issuing it is very correct. Otherwise, every order would have to be asked by Lord Chen, which would bring uneasiness to the soldiers below.
The two sides are fighting to the death now, and this scene is something that Big Head is very happy to see.
Those who fought to the death were all Boluo's former soldiers and Qinxue. As for Datou's own confidants, they had already been arranged by Datou.
Now, Big Head cannot leave, and must command the soldiers on the city to fight and fight continuously until the last drop of blood is shed.
There are more than 100,000 troops in Kuoku, and it is best to die here in battle.
With the spirit of not fearing death, the expanded attacking team finally approached the moat.
The soldiers carrying sandbags threw the sandbags they carried into the moat. This was the most dangerous time for them, because the shield would reveal many gaps.
Many archers on the top of the city risked their lives and poked out and shot arrows downwards.
As a result, many soldiers who resisted the sandbag had just dropped the sandbag and their bodies tilted and fell into the moat.
No one will pull them, and the ones that fall in can also be used as objects that fill the moat.
The moat was gradually stained with blood.
With this fearless spirit of death, the moat was finally filled.
The moat of the capital is far less deep than that of other cities, especially the cities in the south of the Yangtze River. This is related to the thoughts of the Mongols. They advocate active attacks, and this passive defense will be considered a manifestation of cowardice.
Therefore, the capital city is just a dirt city, not even a brick. In later generations, Timur really felt that the capital city was too unbreakable and built bricks.
And the moat outside is not very deep.
Moreover, it is now the dry season, and the water in the moat is flowing from the water from the Lianggu River and the Jinshui River, which is very shallow.
The section of Lizhengmen that was expanded was filled in again, so it was filled in quickly.
Behind, the ladder truck used for siege was slowly pushing over.
"Why don't you use rockets? Use rockets to shoot those ladder cars." Chen Feng said: "Big Head, it's time to boost morale."
"Brothers, the enemy is about to rush up, kill one enemy and reward ten taels of silver!" Big Head shouted loudly: "Put their car and their arrow tower with rockets."
Using rockets is more troublesome than ordinary arrows. You have to wrap the arrows with a flammable oil cloth, lit them, and then shoot them again. Moreover, the range is closer than that of ordinary arrows.
Just now, I was just busy shooting ordinary arrows, but now, when I heard that the big head was integrated, an archer immediately changed into a rocket.
When the shot came, two archery cars were lit.
This is also a bit of the craftsmen who built the Arrow Tower. Because of the lack of wood and in order to increase protection, they used grass to cover all sides of the Arrow Tower. In this way, when the arrows shot, they would not penetrate the grass. In this way, whether it was the person pushing the cart below or the person shooting the arrow above, they would be very safe.
However, this still has its disadvantages, such as not fire-resistant!
However, at this time, some ladders had been pushed near the city wall, and the rolling stones and wood were constantly thrown down, while the people below had begun to rush up without fear of death.
This time, the one who came up was Bukuan's own direct troops. They had strong combat power and ladder trucks were very stable, and they attacked fiercely.
Finally, the first person rushed to the top of the city, and then he was chopped to the ground, with ten taels of silver!
The people who rushed up did not find that as usual, the defenders fled wildly, and instead became the targets of the defenders' welcome.
There is no bounty when shooting the enemy with arrows. Only by fighting with hands and killing the enemy can we count.
Therefore, in the eyes of the defenders, the warriors of the Kuoku Army who came up to the city, were ten taels of silver and ten taels of silver!
Even archers who can't fight melee want to rush up and strangle a few enemies with their bowstrings. That's a lot of money!
Although in terms of number of people, the Kuoku Army must have more people to attack at the full force, the Kuoku army must pass through those ladders to rush up, so there are not many people going up each time.
If they can go up and protect the ladder, that's fine. As long as the city head is opened and the follow-up personnel can increase the results of the battle. However, the current situation is that they will be killed as long as they get off the ladder. Soon, the bodies are piled up on the city head where the ladder is located, and more and more.
This is a bit like a tactic of adding fuel to the Kuanggu Army, which is not very beneficial.
The siege battle is like a meat grinder, ruthlessly devouring the lives of both sides.
Of course, this is just the first day of the battle, just the beginning, the city wall cannot be broken on the first day.
Therefore, when the war on the city wall was in fierce competition, Datou was also mobilizing troops from other city walls to gather in this direction. If the Kuogu army attacked wildly, he could resist it.
The troops that Bukuoku's troops were obviously insufficient, so they could only attack one city gate, which was even the Shuncheng Gate and the Civilization Gate next to them, and they were under very little pressure.
Outside the capital, in the central army, Kuoku looked at the scene in the distance, feeling a little painful.
Now, what was rushing up was his most elite army, but he watched helplessly as his own army rushed up to die as if he had committed suicide.
Although there was nothing on the surface, the expanded heart was trembling slightly.
"Another thousand-man team has gone up. We have gone up to six thousand-man teams, and no wounded have returned yet." Zhu Zhen said.
There will be no wounded in this kind of battle. Those wounded have been trampled to death by the troops behind, and it is impossible for the wounded to retreat.
In just one hour, six thousand people died. If the two thousand soldiers who had filled the moat before were added, nearly ten thousand people would have died.
"Our Hui cannon was suppressed by the opponent. If we use Hui cannon first and knock down the city wall, we will attack more smoothly." Shang Yang also said.
"Maoku, what? Do we have hope of winning?" asked Ayushiridara.
"Your Highness, please rest assured that we have a second move. Now, it is best to attack the city here. Even if we can't attack, we will attract all the attention of the defenders and will facilitate our subsequent attacks." Kuogu said. "We will definitely take it down before sunset in the capital."
How to attack, Ayushiridala didn't care. Kuogu said in the end that it was the most important thing to attack before sunset.
"General Kuokuo, the soldiers who have made contributions to the siege of the city, and when they enter the capital, they will each have rewards." Ayushiridala said.
"Thank you, Prince." Kuogu said.
Kuoku has a firm belief that he must take over the capital before sunset! Moreover, he also made a careful plan.
Unfortunately, Kuogu did not expect that the opponent would attack so fiercely. If he wanted to attract the attention of the defenders, it meant that he had to make greater sacrifices.
Such sacrifice is not worth it, but there is no way.
"Transfer two more thousand-man teams to the table." Kuogu said.
On the top of the city, fierce battles were fought.
"It seems that the attack is very strong, we have to transfer two more thousand-man teams over." Datou said to himself.
Now, the number of opponent's Huihuans is very small, so Datou, Chen Feng and others hid on the city tower of Lizhengmen's main entrance. Here, it is very difficult to attack Kuoku, and it is very refreshing to see the opponent's fighting clearly.
"Kuogu only attacked this city gate, and the rest of the city gates were very leisurely. I would just transfer the rest of the defenders over." Liu Gou'er said.
"It's a pity that the cavalry was ruined. Otherwise, from other city gates, cavalry could be sent to attack from the flanks, which would definitely make Kuo stick to his tail." Datou said again. He is now a complete Zhao Kuo.
"No, Kuogu's favorite thing is that we do it. Look, he attacked for a long time, but the cavalry did not dispatch, just waiting for us to leave the city and could not be fooled." Liu Gou'er said.
The cavalry that had expanded was not dispatched for a long time.
The guards of other city gates are very leisurely and have been moved several times.
This evil flashed into Chen Feng's mind. Suddenly, a string in Chen Feng's mind suddenly tightened.
There is a problem, there is definitely a problem!
Thinking of this, Chen Feng took out the long-tube-shaped thing from his chest and put it in front of him.
Qianlijing carefully searched the Kuoku's army in the distance. Among those troops, Chen Feng did not see Kuoku's powerful cavalry unit.
Could it be to set up an ambush?
It is impossible. Since the defenders in the city did not dispatch a few days ago, the defenders in the city will not dispatch them now. The defenders in the city will have the advantage in siege battles, especially the expanded Hui artillery did not play the due role.
So, what did those cavalry do?
Could it be to attack the city?
With Kuogu's current ability, although it may be impossible to attack each city gate together, it is still possible to attack two or three city gates at the same time. Now, Kuogu tightly holds Lizhengmen, the city gate, and there must be a conspiracy!
Could it be that Kuogu wants to use cavalry to attack the city? That's too whimsical?
