Chapter 914 Battle of Wengcheng

Not to mention the peaceful singing and dancing in the capital, the battle of Jiuzhou attack and defense is still going on.

Outside Jiuzhou City, He Li killed and wounded tens of thousands of people before finally reaching the edge of the city.

The southwest corner of the city had been in disrepair for a long time, and now it was in the blind spot of shooting by the occupying army. The situation suddenly became critical.

The Champa people also learned basic siege methods at the cost of their blood. They made trench carts out of bamboo, piled earth and rocks on top to withstand crossbow arrows, pushed them to the corner of the city, and began to dig into the city wall.

At the same time, we took advantage of our military strength to attack the city from three sides, leaving the defenders unable to spare any extra troops for support.

Finally, on the forty-seventh day of the war, the southwest corner of Jiuzhou City collapsed, revealing a huge gap.

He Li finally saw the hope of victory and shouted crazily: "Go in! Kill all the living creatures inside, leaving no chickens or dogs behind! Let the rebellious people on the other side of the river know what misery and horror are!"

With a wave of his hand, Ga Dan sent tens of thousands of recharged Chinese troops howling and rushing towards the gap in the city.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of it was rushed in.

He Li looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "I am here to help you!"

But Gao Dan's expression suddenly changed. The army entered without any hindrance. It was obviously not a normal situation. He quickly waved the flag: "No! Ming Jin! Come back -"

It's a pity that it has been a long time since the command of the occupying army failed. Now that the great success is imminent, who can look back? Everyone is scrambling to get the first prize.

When there were still about 3,000 people outside, the figures who had just disappeared appeared on the top of the city and reappeared. They pushed down some jars from both sides of the gap, followed by throwing down torches and chasing the occupying troops who were still passing through the gap.

Burned into a torch.

The burning sergeants screamed and rolled on the ground, but the fire on their bodies was not extinguished at all. Only then did the remaining sergeants outside the city realize that the commander had already waved the flag to request retreat.

The city resounded with the sound of countless arrows whistling, the screams of companions, and a strange and huge "boom!" sound. Every sound like this was accompanied by a miserable scream.

This is a trap! A trap that has been carefully arranged!

He Li was horrified: "Put out the fire and fight in! Fight in to save people——"

Those people are all his elite soldiers. Most of the troops that started out are now trapped inside.

Ga Dan closed his eyes in pain: "Your Majesty, it's useless. They have been holding back such powerful firearms, just waiting for our army to fall into a trap..."

It was indeed useless. Countless pieces of wood were thrown down from the top of the city, as well as jars like the one just now. The fire was blazing in the gap, so you couldn't get close at all.

From time to time, firemen rushed out from inside, and then fell down in the gap, twitching in pain, and finally stopped moving.

…

Thousands of soldiers, led by Heli's powerful general Pangmuzhitu, rushed into the city.

After passing through the gap, there was an open area. Pangmu Zhitu couldn't help but be overjoyed. Once the army arrived here, it was very convenient for deployment.

But in an instant, Pangmu Zhitu felt a sense of crisis in his heart. The situation was wrong and the surroundings were too quiet.

Bangmu Zhitu turned around and saw that there were also 7,000 sergeants coming with him. He felt a little relieved and led the sergeants towards the camp gate at the exit of the school ground with his sword in hand.

At this moment, the kind of horn sound that once made people in Champa tremble with fear sounded. Far away from the school grounds, behind the street wall opposite the camp gate, a handsome flag was raised, and countless sergeants appeared from all directions with strange black crossbows.

Come.

"Trap!" Pangmu Zhitu immediately understood and waved his knife: "Retreat!"

As if it was a signal, a raging fire suddenly broke out in the gap.

"Hehehe..." Under the handsome flag is the fat Wang Zhen, on the left is a veteran with white hair and beard, and on the right is a scribe, none other than Chen Tian and Huang Yong.

Wang Zhen happily raised her hands to Pangmu Zhitu and said, "General Pangmu, are you okay?"

Bangmu Zhitu scolded: "Shameless Wang Zhen! How dare you betray the king!"

Wang Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "General Bangmu, I, Wang Zhen, have never offended anyone. I just want to protect this ancestral property. At any rate, I have read a few of the military books of the Song Dynasty. He Li's fake way to destroy Guo Zhi

Can you hide this from me?"

"Bin Tonglong, regardless of the old or new king, Wang Zhen has always served you well. Even the old commanders at Hengshan Pass and the nobles in the capital, I, Wang Zhen, have taken care of them. Wang Zhen asked herself, can I really be worthy of you all?"

Already..."

Bangmu Zhitu scolded: "It's a sin to have a rat with two ends!"

Wang Zhen shook her head and said: "Then we can't talk...Okay, now I will make up my mind to vote for Song Dynasty!"

After saying that, his face changed: "Bang Mu Zhi Tu! For the sake of being a minister of the same palace, I put down my weapons and surrender, so that I can survive. Don't make the mistake of becoming a tomb tomb for He Li!"

Bangmu Zhitu grabbed a javelin from his subordinates and threw it towards where Wang Zhen was standing: "Wang Zhen, go to hell!"

The javelin flew across the sky and flew straight towards Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen was so frightened that her color suddenly changed. She shrank her head and tried to dodge, but was grabbed by the back of her collar by a big, sinewy hand. She struggled to free herself.

Wang Zhen didn't realize until now that the white-haired old man from Song Dynasty next to her was so strong.

Accompanied by Wang Zhen's scream of "Ah——", the javelin struck five steps in front of Wang Zhen.

Chen Tian sneered and waved his hand: "It's disrespectful to come and not go!"

"Boom-buzz!"

Beside Chen Tian, ​​the sergeants pushed up a crossbow with three huge bows on it, two forward and one reverse. After being strung, the power of the three bows could be used at the same time. This was how the Song people defended the city on a large scale before Su You came to this world.

The pinnacle of heavy crossbows - the three-bow bed crossbow.

The three-bow bed crossbow, also known as the "eight-ox crossbow", uses hard wood as the shaft and iron pieces as the feathers. It is known as "one gun, three swords and arrows" in the world.

The crossbow's axle originally required more than thirty people to pull it open. After engineering modifications, a gear set rocker arm was used, which allowed two people to swing and wind it, but the winding time was many times slower.

Its power can reach a thousand steps, and if fired at close range, it can be directly nailed into the city wall, allowing siege soldiers to use it to climb up.

Now that it is deployed, it is truly unparalleled in power!

As soon as Bangmu Zhitu saw this big guy pushing out, he lay down on the ground. The crossbow arrow, like a giant crossbow javelin, passed over his head in the blink of an eye, crossing the short school field and carving a bloody path in the crowd!

Not only the long-sword-like crossbow arrows, but also the iron feathers on both sides of the tail became terrifying weapons! Blood splattered on the broken limbs along the way, and finally the three occupying soldiers were strung together and nailed to the school grounds!

Immediately afterwards, countless short crossbow arrows were shot towards the school grounds like a storm!

Screaming in agony, Bangmu Zhitu brandished his sword and yelled: "Charge over, you can't do anything more than two shots! Fight close to the wall!"

The only Tengpai army general, Pang Mu Zhitu, was in the center, braving the rain of arrows from all sides, and rushed towards Wang Zhen with great difficulty.

As for the soldiers without shields, they were shot to the ground before they could reach the street.

"Boom-buzz!"

"Boom-buzz!"

On the west and east sides of the school ground, there were two more tooth-gripping loud noises. Two huge crossbow arrows crisscrossed through the small rattan array, instantly breaking up the dense rattan array, and countless crossbow bolts took advantage of the opportunity.

Enter and take away another wave of lives.

However, these people were the elite of the Champa King. A sergeant immediately rushed over, picked up the broken shield from the hands of his comrades, and joined the team again to protect the general and continue moving forward.

The protective effect of the rattan shield on powerful crossbows is actually average. Many crossbow arrows either slipped into the gaps in the protection or hit the unprotected legs and feet of the sergeants, causing the sergeants to scream in agony.

By the time they rushed through the gate and arrived at the best stretch of stone street in Jiuzhou, the occupying army had already suffered more than half its casualties.

In one month, the people in Champa certainly learned how to attack the city, and the people in Jiuzhou also learned how to use crossbows. And now it seems that the soldiers in Jiuzhou have made much greater progress than the Heli army.

In Jiuzhou City, more than 30,000 men were quietly gathered in the city using small boats to travel back and forth, and they learned to use crossbows during the defensive battle for more than a month.

When you fire a crossbow from the rooftop into the crowded square below, you don't even need to aim at it.

As long as you move quickly, there will always be damage
