Chapter 517 Overwhelming Victory

Seeing this, Xu Rong hurriedly ordered the soldiers to hide behind the women's wall. He knew that it was the crossbow car of the Xiliang Army, but it was difficult to attack the city from under the city. He only needed to avoid it for a while. Even the crossbow car and arrows were precious, and even the Xiliang Army could not squander it.

Seeing that the crossbow car suppressed the defenders, the Thunderbolt car began to show off its power. The basin-sized stones were thrown on the wall. The unprepared defenders were knocked down. The boulders coming from the front were full of momentum, but if they were hit, they would be killed or injured. The defenders in the city were in a mess under the offensive of the Thunderbolt car.

The shield can't get any effect under the attack of the boulder. The heavy force is enough to hit the shield soldiers with the shield.

"Don't panic, be careful to avoid it!" Xu Rong shouted loudly.

The momentum of the Thunderbolt car is enough, but Jia Rong is very dissatisfied. Half of the stones hit the wall. Looking at the dense crossbows and the pits and potholes on the wall on the wall, he shakes his head slightly. Even the crossbow car is used in the siege battle. It is indeed a little wasteful, but if you use the Thunderbolt car to shoot explosives. If so, what will the effect be? If you are caught off guard, people will definitely turn over. In the era of completely cold weapons, when gunpowder exists as a siege weapon, the other party's solid wall does not seem to be so difficult to attack. The gates in this era are made of thick wood, and you only need to use gunpowder to measure. In order to blow up the gate, the army rushed in.

The idea just flashes away. The gunpowder is not in a hurry. At present, the most important thing is to attack Pingtao.

Jia Rong was not satisfied with such a result, but he was shocked by Xu Rong in the city. Such a battle was beyond the previous cognition. He did not expect that with the cooperation of the Thunderbolt car and the crossbow car, there would be such power. Fortunately, the consumption of the Thunderbolt car was huge. Otherwise, if it continued to fight like this for half a month, even if there was an elite in his hand. The soldiers are also useless.

The Thunderbolt car is constantly squandering the boulder. At the same time, in the army, more than a dozen wells slowly walk out. The surface of the wells is wrapped in thick iron. From a distance, it looks like a huge weapon. Under the sunlight, it is like a monster that chooses people to eat.

On each well, there are nearly a hundred soldiers standing there. At a closer look, everyone is wearing heavy armor. Jia Rong wants to rely on heavy infantry to open up a bloody road on the wall, and then the soldiers climb up the ladder to meet.

Two thousand cavalry are waiting next to each other. As long as the defenders of the city appear before the army attacks the city wall, they will come forward without hesitation. The purpose of the Xiliang Army's combat is very simple, which is to make the defenders of the city unable to raise their heads from beginning to end.

As the first person to be attacked by this new tactics of the Western Liang Army, Xu Rong was flattered. The crossbow car could easily avoid it, but the big stone falling from the sky was not so easy to greet. He carefully avoided the boulder. Xu Rong looked down the city and saw nearly a hundred crossbow cars in front of the city wall, in front of the crossbow car. Fang was a roaring Thunderbolt car. Big stones flew up the wall under the control of the soldiers. The gently trembling wall under him was caused by the boulder that hit the wall.

More than ten wells appeared in Xu Rong's eyes, and he was immediately a little stunned. The Xiliang Army is worthy of being rich. Even the wells used to attack the city are made of iron. This battle is completely a competition for financial resources. The crossbow car, the iron well, the heavy armored infantry, which is not money. By the way, there are two waiting in the city. Thousands of cavalry, they only carried bows and arrows. Xu Rong knew at a glance what these cavalry were for. He could think of the Xiliang Army's attack method when he closed his eyes. From such a battle, Xu Rong completely felt the barrenness of the Bingzhou army.

Jinglin approached the city wall, and the heavily armored soldiers rushed to the wall.

The soldiers who had just rushed up to the wall were greeted by the attack of knives and guns. The other party's attack did not pay attention to it at all. The ring knife in his hand resolutely cut at the enemy's gravity in front of him.

The knife and gun fell on the body of the heavily armored infantry, which only brought sparks, but the ring knife in the soldier's hand opened a garrison's belly.

Put on the heavy armor, and the whole person was under the protection of the armor. Even if the other party had a large number of people, there was nothing to fear. After a while, more than a hundred heavy infantry climbed the city wall. The rest of the well were all archers, a sharp arrow, which took the lives of the defenders. There were unstoppable heavy infantry, dark There were bows and arrows harvesting their lives, and the defenders were panicked everywhere.

Xu Rong's face turned black. He didn't expect that there were such a shameless heavy infantry on the well. With archers, he easily opened up a safe place in the city. When the soldiers on the ladder come back, the overall situation will be settled.

Three thousand defenders were all sent up by Xu Rong. No matter how difficult it is to defend the city, he will stick to it.

Although the heavy infantry is brave and finally exhausted, I can't break your attack. I can push you down the wall. Even if I can't kill you, I will throw you half to death.

Looking at the heavy infantry like dumplings, which brought difficulties to the siege, Jia Rong frowned slightly and said, "Order the Thunderbolt car to attack the gate!"

More than 50 Thunderbolt cars were replaced with fierce fire oil for detectives. The soldiers adjusted the angle and hit the city gate, that is, the infantry could not suppress the defenders, and Jia Rong also had to burn the other side's gate with fierce fire oil. This battle is bound to be won. With so much manpower and material resources invested, how can't you attack the next small one? Pingtao City.

A rocket was shot on the city gate and ignited the fierce fire oil in an instant. The swirling flame was ten feet high. The city gate was instantly lost in the fire, and the defenders in the city could not stand it under such a burning.

The soldiers on the ladder climbed up the wall and joined the battle. Three or five soldiers joined hands to advance and retreat, and soon stood firm with the support of heavy infantry.

Xu Rong felt bitter in his mouth. The iron well, the heavily armored infantry, and the archers on the well, defeated his previous ambition and ruthlessly. Under such an attack, it would be difficult for anyone to resist, not to mention that the flame was still burning at the gate.

The defenders and the attacking party are in full swing. With their own soldiers climbing the wall, the Thunderbolt car and the crossbow car withdrew from the battlefield. The soldiers of the Xiliang Army are all trained together. Under the joint hands, the defenders with low equipment quality will not be the opponent. If they lose the advantage of the wall, the defenders will completely become the lamb to be slaughtered.

Under the scorched flames, the gate gradually turned into a pile of ashes, and the cavalry rushed in.

Xu Rong's face was like ashes, and he led the soldiers to retreat in a hurry. Such a strong city was attacked by the Xiliang army in less than half a day.

This time, Jia Rong completely calculated and unintentionally. He used his superior equipment to suppress the defenders in one fell swoop. The attacking soldiers climbed the wall, and the fire oil ignited the gate. How could the defenders be invincible.

Lao Huang Zhong was stunned. For the first time he saw such a sharp siege, there were at least 5,000 defenders, but they were attacked by thousands of people, relying entirely on the sharp siege weapons in his hand.

I thought it would take ten days and a half to attack, but I didn't expect Jia Rong to take out the best card and conquer Pingtao City in one fell swoop.

"General Huang, how about my soldiers?" Jia Rong said with a smile.

"All are brave people! They are all brave people!" Huang Zhong muttered.

Guo Jia joked, "General Huang was shocked by the lord's siege."

"With a heart, there will be no such good luck next time. Xu Rong is not an ordinary person. This time he escaped by him. It's not so easy to attack the city easily next time." Jia Rongdao.

After occupying Pingtao, Jia Rong led the army to march towards Daling. As long as the Daling was broken, Jinyang would be exposed to the front of the army, and the end of Li Ru would come.

Jia Rong's side is progressing smoothly, and Zhao Yun's side is not very good. He single-handedly fights against the defenders in the city and does not leave the city, and he is afraid that his soldiers will die.

When Pingtao was lost, Li Ru was shocked. Judging from the news from the battlefield, the super-strong attack weapons owned by the Xiliang Army, well ladders, etc. are all made of iron. It is difficult to cause damage to ordinary rocket boulders and gutter. This is also Xu Rong exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army. From the battle of Pingtao, from beginning to end, the defenders are in In the state of being suppressed, the Thunderbolt car in the city did not fire a stone at all.

Li Ru did not blame Xu Rong, but comforted him with his kind words in the letter. Now there are few soldiers available in his hand. The Xiliang Army's former soldiers could not be appointed, and Xu Rong and other generals became a barrier to defend Bingzhou.

With the support of another group of Li Ru's troops, Xu Rong was very sure that the last time he was under the stormy attack of the Xiliang Army, and he felt a little caught off guard.

He had heard about the method of the Xiliang Army's way to deal with the Allied Thunderbolt in Hanguguan. He summoned the leather items in the city and hung them on the wall. After effectively resisting crossbows and stones, the defenders could deal with them calmly, suppress the other party's siege ladder with bows and arrows, and block the soldiers' offensive pace with boulders. Rong still didn't think of a way to break it, so he could only read it again.

After occupying Pingtao, Jia Rong led the army to kill Daling. He did not give Xu Rong the slightest opportunity to prepare for the posture of capturing Daling.

The Thunderbolt car could not be effectively suppressed, and the army's attack also slowed down.

Some big actions of the Xiliang Army have not been hidden from the eyes of the princes of the Central Plains. They really want to send troops to support Li Ru at such a moment and capture Chang'an by the way. However, they think that hundreds of thousands of princes could not capture the Hangu Pass at the beginning, and now they will send troops rashly again, which will only condemn the Xiliang Army in vain. If it is Qiu After that, if you settle accounts with them, the gains outweigh the losses.

On the surface, the common enemy between the princes is the Xiliang Army. In the secret, many princes have more or less contact with the Xiliang Army. The Xiliang Army attacked Li Ru, Bingzhou. They will only watch the fire across the shore, not help.
