"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 578
? Jiangnan Province, Taiyun County in Xitian Prefecture.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The sound of war drums resounded all over the field, and the blackness outside the city was full of moving heads, and the Qinghe army had completely blocked the surrounding area.
After the three-way battle drum, a sturdy cavalry soldier of the Qinghe Army came out and rode his horse towards Taiyun City.
"Xi Lv¡ª¡ª"
This Qinghe army cavalry reined in his horse within an arrow's reach, and countless sharp arrows from the top of the city had already been aimed at him.
"Listen, guards at the top of the city, we are under the command of Chen Zi'ang, the Hussar General of the Qinghe Army. Now that you are surrounded, I will give you some time to think about it. Put down your weapons and surrender, to avoid death, otherwise the city will be destroyed! "
The cavalry of the Qinghe Army sounded like a bell, and the ears of the imperial guards at the top of the city were buzzing.
"Hey, I think you should put down your weapons and surrender as soon as possible for the bandit army, otherwise when the army arrives, you will die without a place to die!"
After hearing the Qinghe army's persuasion to surrender, a wealthy nobleman in a fine attire at the top of the city couldn't help but retort.
"Hmph, I'll give you a stick of incense time to think about it. After a stick of incense, the army will attack the city!"
The cavalryman of the Qinghe Army didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, so after saying this, he rode back.
"Listen to me, kill a head of the thief army, and reward 500 copper coins!"
The soldiers of the civilian army and the soldiers of the garrison battalion crowded at the top of the city also looked flustered, but after hearing the words of this nobleman in fine clothes, they all became excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
"General Zhang, as long as you lead your troops to defend our Taiyun City, you will be rewarded in return."
An old man who once served as a high-ranking official in the imperial court and returned to his hometown told a general.
"Master Liu, please don't worry, I will fight to the end, the city is alive!" The general also patted his chest and promised.
"Okay, okay, then I'll go back and wait for the good news."
The rich and squires on the top of the city also knew that the war was imminent, and a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, so they had to leave here.
After the generals defending the city sent these wealthy gentry away, they inspected the front wall and mobilized the officers and soldiers defending the city.
In Taiyun City, there are currently four to five thousand people in the civilian army, private soldiers of wealthy families, and garrison battalions. This is also their confidence in refusing to surrender.
After all, the properties of these rich and powerful families are all in Taiyun City, and they will not hand over these properties to the Qinghe Army.
The Qinghe Army had already lit a stick of incense under the city. Seeing that the stick of incense was getting shorter and shorter, the Yueshan Banner Battalion of the 12th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army, which was in charge of attacking Taiyun City, had unsheathed its sword and was ready to attack.
"It seems that they are determined to fight to the end."
Seeing that instead of surrendering, the head of the city was preparing the army for war, a stern look flashed across the face of the banner battalion commander Yue Shan.
"Master Banner Battalion Commander, the time is up."
Soon, a stick of incense was burned out, and Taiyun County still had no intention of surrendering.
"Pass my military order, attack!"
"No!"
Several messengers quickly rode their horses and ran along the two sides of the army formation, conveying the order.
"The trebuchet is ready!"
Amid the cold shouts of the officers of the Qinghe Army, two newly assembled trebuchets were loaded with special stone bombs.
"Launch!"
Two trebuchets were launched following the order, and stone bombs weighing dozens of kilograms flew into the air, screaming with death, and smashed into the head of Taiyun City.
Seeing the huge black shadow flying towards them rapidly, the defenders at the top of the city looked up at a loss.
"Boom!"
A stone bomb hit the head of the city, the city wall trembled violently, a battlement was smashed directly, bricks and stones flew, and the surrounding defenders were knocked down by the splashed bricks and stones.
"Boom!"
"ah!"
Another stone bomb fell directly on the top of the city, and five or six defenders who were crowded together were hit directly.
Amidst the cracking of bones, these people were instantly rendered inhuman by the stone bullets, and it was too horrible to look at.
"Launch!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Although the banner camp in Yueshan is only equipped with two??The trebuchet, but the deterrent effect of the trebuchet is amazing.
Every time a stone bullet falls on the top of Taiyun City, it will tremble violently, so that the defenders on the top of the city will lose their balance and stand unsteadily.
More than a dozen stone bullets fell on the top of the city, and one flew over the top of the city, smashing a hole in the roof of a house behind.
Facing the terrifying stone bombs, the defenders at the top of the city panicked and hid one by one in a panic.
"Attack!"
The defenders who were hit by the stone bullets from the trebuchet were terrified, and then the murderous Qinghe army infantry strode towards Taiyun City with sonorous and powerful steps.
"Go back to your place!"
"quick!"
"Archers are ready!"
The general at the head of the city also had a bloody gash on his face from the fragments thrown by the stone bomb, which looked particularly ferocious.
The dark Qinghe army pressed towards Tai Yuncheng, who was roaring hoarsely, trying to stabilize his position.
However, there are militia soldiers, garrison battalion soldiers and family private soldiers mixed together at the top of the city. They are not under each other and are in a mess.
"Come on!"
The infantry of the Qinghe Army was very fast. They pushed the crash carts and carried the ladders, and quickly rushed outside the city wall.
Although the archers at the head of the city kept shooting arrows, trying to prevent the Qinghe army from approaching.
But panicked, the archers' accuracy dropped a lot, and the Qinghe army had too many people, it was really difficult for the arrows to hit the moving target.
The Qinghe army rushed to the foot of Taiyun City with only a small number of casualties, and a series of ladders were built.
Those well-trained soldiers of the Qinghe Army climbed up to the top of the city like agile apes with sabers in their mouths.
And the crashing car was also pushed under the city gate, and under the cover of the scull shield, it began to violently hit the city gate.
"One or two!"
"Boom!"
"One or two!"
"Boom!"
The old city gate of Taiyun City was hit by a car, and the dust fell down. Although there were a large number of guarding soldiers behind it, it was still crumbling.
"Smash them down!"
The infantry of the Qinghe Army also approached the top of the city along the ladder, and the garrison officer at the top of the city was also in a hurry to command, trying to smash it with the prepared stones.
As soon as a defending soldier lifted up a stone, several arrows glowing with coldness shot from below the city, piercing his body.
The body of the defending soldier swayed, he fell back and fell to the ground, and the stone in his hand rolled down on the city wall.
The archers of the Qinghe Army stood under the ladder and shot arrows towards the top of the city. Once the defenders stuck their heads out, they would greet them with arrows.
Under the cover of archers and arrows, those fierce Qinghe army infantry quickly climbed to the top of the city.
They leaped to the top of the city with their sabers in hand, and immediately set off a rain of blood like wolves entering a flock of sheep.
The enemies near the ladder were beheaded or forced back by them, while the Qinghe Army infantry rushed to the city wall along the gap.
Facing these infantry of the Qinghe Army who cooperated with each other in teams of three or five, the defenders tried to counterattack several times, but they were all repelled.
As more and more Qinghe army infantrymen were on the top of the city, after the defenders' counterattack was suppressed, they were killed and retreated steadily.
"Retreat into the city!"
Seeing that the top of the city could no longer be defended, the general in charge of defending the city was also full of unwillingness, and ordered the troops to withdraw into the city.
