Chapter 812 In the Battle of Attack and Defense in Luoyang

"Target: City Head, release!"

The tactical movements of the two Vietnamese royal army were extremely sophisticated, and they soon reached the attack position. However, under the order of Li Su, who was responsible for the cover, dozens of catapters and large crossbow cars that had been prepared were launched one after another. Huge stone bombs and thick iron arrows roared through the sky and hit the city like a thunderbolt. Go.

"Target: enemy stone-throwing position, release!"

Of course, the catapling machine is not only the king of Yue army, but also the defenders at the head of the city. Not only have it, but also a lot of it. Not to mention anything else, when the Hexi Army was still weak, it was by relying on these mechanical devices that were regarded as strange/** ingenuity by the children of authentic Confucianism to defeat the powerful Tubo army, although the artillery was born later. Instead of the bulky and inefficient cataps, the Hexi army's ability to build the cataps is still there. A group of guards of the East Palace are all the old men of the Hexi Army. In the past few days, a lot of large cataps have been built. How can they sit and watch the Yue army show its power indiscriminately, almost at the other side of the Yue King's army, Li Su. At the same time as the shooting order, Fang Xiaoshan, the new lieutenant who was responsible for directing the operation of the catapult position, also issued a shooting order. In an instant, various types of catapults arranged on the head of the city and behind the city wall started one after another, and more than 150 huge stone bombs roared out, covering the sky and the sun to throw the stone array of the Vietnamese army. The ground smashed over, and the prestige was obviously several times more powerful than the Yue royal army.

"Boom, boom..."

The dark clouds composed of two stone bombs crisscrossed in the air. Several stone bombs hit each other fiercely and exploded into a gravel rain all over the sky in an instant. However, most of the stone bombs were unimpeded and rushed to their respective targets. In an instant, they aroused a tragic howl in the city. The gravel splashed everywhere, and the flesh and blood flew across. , its shape is really terrible.

"Pray, put it again!"

Although the power of the large catapling aircraft driven by the Yue King's Army is not small, compared with the defenders, the number is not only less, but also the range is also close. It can only barely bombard the defenders on the wall. For the large catapling behind the urn, it is helpless. In addition, the defenders have long adjusted the shooting scale. The aim is also much better than the Yue royal army. In the first round of the competition between the two sides, only one catapling was completely destroyed, and two of the defenders were scratched, but it did not affect the battle. In contrast, the Yue royal army was unlucky. Not to mention that four catapists were destroyed, there were many soldiers who stayed in the starting position were The gunfire of the garrison affected, and more than 200 people were killed and injured in vain. As soon as this situation came out, Li Su was so angry that her nose almost crooked, and he shouted at the officers and soldiers who commanded the guard to suppress the panicked and panic.

"Fill the river car, get on!"

Throw and then shoot again. After several back and forth by the catapults of the two sides, the Yue army was completely at the bottom. Not only did it fail to achieve the purpose of suppressing the garrison at the head of the city, but also was hit by the garrison. Seeing that there was no hope of suppression, Gan Zhuangwu, who was responsible for the first round of rushing the city, was already impatient and did not want to wait for the general to go down. The attack order was issued with a black face!

"Dong Dong..."

With the order, the drums of the front of the Yue royal army began. Under the pressure of the governor's team, more than 2,000 people had to push the heavy river filling truck forward. At the same time, two groups of 1,500 cavalrymen also began to slowly press forward. Obviously, they intended to cover the offensive of their own river filling troops with riding and shooting. .

It's normal and nothing outstanding!

Although the siege has just begun, Li Xian, who saw that Li Zhen's array was not only not nervous, but also relaxed for nothing else. It was just because Li Xian had already made clear about Li Zhen's whole strategic thinking. It was nothing more than relying on the advantage of military strength to launch waves of strong attacks. Although there was nothing wrong, it was not There is nothing surprising about the magic. It seems that even if such an offensive is stronger, the defenders can easily cope with it. Obviously, Li Xian's pre-war guess is really right. Li Zhen is really a rookie who has never been in the battle. What she will do is just copy the regulations. It seems that there is not much pressure for such an opponent to win. Li, in view of this, Li Xian was too lazy to think too much. He simply handed over the command authority to Zhang Mingwu. He just stood silently at the gate building to watch the battle in his spare time.

"Hidle!"

Zhang Mingwu became famous and relied on defense. In Hexi, with less than 2,000 troops, he blocked the attack of tens of thousands of troops in Tibet and defended the small city of Hanhan, so as to win precious time for Li Xian to mobilize all kinds of soldiers and horses. At this time, as soon as he saw the cavalry of the King of Yue, he immediately guessed the King of Yue's army. He snorted disdainfully, waved his hand, and gave the order loudly.

"Arrow, shoot an arrow!"

The two Yue royal cavalry rushed very fast, but in a moment they had jumped over the moat of the horse. However, the two roars in the cavalry array, and the two cavalry kept pouring arrows on the head of the city. The momentum was not small, but the shield array of the defenders was not worthy of praise except for the crackling of the shield array. Dao's results just seemed to suppress the defenders and create a good fighter for the smooth advance of his own river filling troops.

"It is said that Li Xian's child is good at fighting, but it's not good to be alone. Hey, it's just a false reputation!"

Seeing that his own river filling troops were progressing smoothly, they were already close to the moat, and the defenders did not have the momentum to counterattack at all. Li Zhen, who was in the middle of the army, couldn't help but be very proud. She smiled and touched the long beard on her chest and shook her head and degraded Li Xian.

"Father Shengming, that child has only won a few battles by chance, but his ability is not as good as yours. How can he defeat the power of my more than 100,000 troops? The city can be broken!"

"The prince said it well that he will be able to break into the city today. It's a big thing in this life!"

"That's true. After entering the city, I'll wait to get drunk!"

......

As soon as he saw Li Zhen so happy, Li Chong and many other generals around him were so happy that they were holding their stinky feet, but Chen Wushuang was not happy. He opened his mouth full of sadness, as if he wanted to say anything, but in the end, he still didn't say anything else, just because since he started fighting, Li Zhen seemed to be a different person. Generally, he is very stubborn, and he can't listen to anyone's words. For this reason, Chen Wushuang has touched the wall several times in a row. At this time, he dares not force him to persuade him anymore. He can only look at the head of the city full of worry.

"C shoot!"

Li Zhen was obviously happy too early. Zhang Mingwu was not an incompetent person. He had long taken advantage of the cover of the shield array and quietly arranged a trap until the reclamation troops of the Yuewang Army approached the moat. However, when Zhang Mingwu roared, the originally tightly seamed shield array suddenly opened a gap and exposed With two hundred and fifty densely arrayed East Palace guards, a series of crossbows aimed at the river-filling troops of the Yue Wang Army like a forest.

"Shuh..."

The continuous crossbow in the hands of the guards of the East Palace was ten steel arrows. Under such intensive shooting, 2,500 steel arrows shot into the unprepared Yue King's army's river filling queue like a dark cloud. In an instant, the people who pushed the cart were shot to hundreds of people. The rest of them were shocked and dared to stand still. They were all panicked. The ground fled back. No matter how the governor team cut, killed, beat and scolded, they did not dare to turn back and push the cart. So far, the first wave of offensive of the Vietnamese army had been forced to stop before it started.

"Waste, tell Gan Zhuangwu not to be afraid of losing troops, and then go up and fill the moat!"

Li Zhenzheng smiled proudly. He suddenly saw that his river filling army was defeated like this. His face was not good. He waved his hand coldly and gave the order with hatred.

Attack, attack again! Since Li Zhen had given the order to die, Gan Zhuangwu did not dare to neglect it. After ordering to kill more than a dozen Min Zhuang who had escaped the fastest, he ordered the governor's team to wave their knives forward and escorted the river filling troops to rush forward again. Unsurprisingly, he was robbed by the arrow rain of the defenders. Even if the two cavalry he sent, it was hard to suppress them, it was difficult to stop. Under the dense rain of arrows at the head of the city, the offensive was forced to stop again, but the fierce Gan Zhuangwu refused to rest. He simply sent 1,000 people to shield cutters and archers to cover the march of the river filling troops with the cavalry, but they were greeted by the stone projector at the head of the city, and most of the troops were damaged by most of them. After that, at the cost of human life, he abruptly filled in more than a dozen earth embankments on the moat, opening a way to the city wall for the attack of the ladder troops.

"The whole army will attack!"

Seeing that the dyke on the moat had been completed, Gan Zhuangwu couldn't take care of the heavy losses of his side. He pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, split it forward hard, and shouted and issued an order to attack. However, in the sound of an exciting drum, 3,000 soldiers guarded ten siege ladders and more than 20 ladders to the moat. The direction rushed over wildly.

"Prepare for each battle position, target: enemy siege brigade, release!"

The defenders' trebutting machine has defeated the stubborn resistance of the trebuting force of the King of Yue. Although it has paid a lot of money, nearly a hundred of various types of catapling machines are still intact. At this time, as soon as he saw Gan Zhuangwu's headquarters start a strong attack, Fang Xiaoshan did not dare to be careless and roared and issued a counterattack order, but listened to In the sound of the spring, a burst of dense stone bombs soared into the air again and rudely smashed into the Yuewang army brigade that was running wildly. More than a hundred steps were immediately smashed into mud by huge stone bullets, but the rest of them bowed their heads and rushed forward regardless, and soon rushed down the embankment of the moat to the city. First, there was a rack. The ladder stood up and turned over the head of the city hard. At the same time, the ten cumbersome siege ladders were also pushed by the people and slowly drove not far from the moat. The most tragic offensive and defensive battle reached the time when the knives were red...
