"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 963
Hazy drizzle enveloped the city of Pengcheng Mansion, the drenched battle flag was hanging down, and rows of mighty soldiers holding longbows, knives and shields stood behind the battlements and waited.
In the wilderness outside the city, the Seventh Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army had already set up an offensive posture, with their swords out of their sheaths, and their murderous aura was soaring.
Seeing those Qinghe soldiers with serious faces standing upright like javelins, Chen Ru, the commander-in-chief of the rebel army who was watching the battle, nodded in satisfaction.
You must know that he used to be the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe Army, and now Chen Ziang, the son-in-law, is the commander-in-chief. In general, the Qinghe Army can be regarded as brought out by him.
Seeing the powerful strength displayed by the Qinghe Army, he was able to straighten his back in front of the representatives of the Rebel Army, and his face was radiant.
The representatives of the rebel army were all pointing and pointing when they saw the Qinghe army in formation, their faces were full of envy and jealousy.
They are also representatives of the uprising armies in various provinces. This time they formed an observation group to accompany the army, and also inspected the Qinghe army from various aspects.
The more they understand the Qinghe Army, the more terrifying and powerful they find it.
Fortunately, they are now friends with the Qinghe army. If they become enemies, they will probably be wiped out like the mighty army.
When Chen Ru and the representatives of the observation group were pointing and laughing, the Qinghe Army had also completed preparations for the attack.
"Attack!"
After hearing the reports of the completion of preparations from various places, Tian Changjie, the head of the Seventh Banner, also looked away and gave the order to attack.
"The head of the banner has an order to attack!"
The flag officer next to Tian Changjie shook the black flag of their Seventh Banner Regiment vigorously while shouting coldly.
At the same time, more than a dozen horns sounded at the same time, and the offensive drums also sounded, and the oppressive battlefield suddenly became noisy.
More than a dozen catapults that had completed the calibration took the lead in firing. Amidst the whistling sound, stone bullets the size of a millstone rose into the air and slammed towards the city wall of Pengcheng Mansion.
Seeing the ever-increasing stone bullet in the field of vision, the mighty soldiers defending the city all changed expression.
"Quickly hide!"
The officer's mournful roar sounded on the city wall, and the soldiers ran away in panic.
"Boom!"
A stone bullet hit the battlements heavily, and the battlements were instantly torn apart, and gravel and soil splashed around.
"ah!"
A soldier of the mighty army who was closer was unable to dodge in time, and the sharp broken stones were embedded in his body densely, and they were carried to the ground with a plop.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A block of stone bullets fell from the sky, smashing the bricks and stones of the city wall of Pengcheng Mansion flying wildly, and the city wall was shaking violently, as if it was about to collapse.
Many soldiers of the mighty army gathered on the city wall were hit by stone bullets, and immediately became meatloaf, which was horrible.
Seeing the continuous bombardment of the stone bombs on the walls of Pengcheng Mansion, the representatives of the rebel army watching the battle all looked serious and dignified. They looked at the trebuchets with burning eyes.
If their army can also be equipped with such sharp trebuchets, then they don't need to use crowd tactics to attack the city.
It's just that the rebels from all walks of life almost survived in the cracks of the imperial court, rebels and other major forces, and their weapons and equipment are still insufficient, let alone equipped with such high-end trebuchets.
Seeing that the Qinghe Army had such powerful trebuchets, they also further realized the strength of the Qinghe Army.
Representatives of the rebel army are not high-level in the rebel army. They are just confidantes sent by the commander, who are mainly responsible for contacting the Qinghe army.
Chen Zi'ang's goal is to buy these representatives step by step, use his powerful strength to make them submit, and let them take the initiative to move closer to the Qinghe army.
As long as a group of generals who are close to the Qinghe Army are cultivated in the rebel army, the Qinghe Army will be able to annex them easily in the future.
And now that Chen Ru is taking the observation group to follow the army, he also wants to further show the strength of the Qinghe Army, and hopes that they can become friends with the Qinghe Army instead of enemies.
When the catapults of the Qinghe Army bombarded the ground and splashed bricks and stones on the top of Pengcheng Mansion, and countless mighty soldiers were flying with flesh and blood, the Seventh Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army was also slowly advancing.
The infantry of the Seventh Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army are all light infantry, in uniform black uniforms, armed with swords, shields, spears and crossbows, marching forward with sonorous and powerful steps.??.
The siege vehicles were also pushed forward one after another. In front of the infantry formation, there were also shield vehicles that blocked the arrows.
Although the Seventh Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army had many drills on weekdays, this was the first time they had actually fought on the battlefield, so officers at all levels were all in high spirits.
Seeing the Qinghe army approaching with countless siege equipment, the defenders who were being suppressed by the stone bombardment couldn't even raise their heads.
Originally, Long Jun dispatched a large number of archers to the city wall. Once the Qinghe army approached, he would greet them with arrows.
After all, there is a moat blocking it, and the attacking troops of the Qinghe Army will gather by the moat at that time, and that will be a living target.
However, the weapons and equipment of the Qinghe army are too sharp. Watching the Qinghe army approaching, their archers are too busy to take care of themselves, and they have no time to bend their bows and set up arrows to shoot the Qinghe army.
However, the Qinghe army is getting closer and closer, and they have already approached the moat. If they don't stop them, they will cross the river.
Amidst the roars of the officers of the mighty army, the archers of the mighty army dodged the stone bullets falling from the sky while bending their bows and shooting arrows, trying to block the advance of the Qinghe army.
"Puff puff!"
However, the soldiers of the Qinghe army hid behind the shield chariot, which was covered with cowhide, and the Qinghe saber shield soldiers themselves were equipped with shields, so the arrows of the mighty army could not threaten the infantry of the Qinghe army at all.
"Arrow!"
The archers of the Qinghe Army also advanced to the edge of the moat. Following the officer's order, they bent their bows and set up arrows one after another, shooting towards the city.
Those Qinghe army archers standing on the top platform of the siege vehicle also started shooting.
Facing the sharp arrows of the Qinghe Army, the mighty army at the head of the city kept getting shot and fell to the ground. Many people were so overwhelmed that they dared not lift their heads, let alone release the arrows.
The Qinghe Army's long-range strike made the Mighty Army lose its ability to counterattack, and the Qinghe Army infantry quickly put the prepared planks on the moat.
In the past, if the attacking army had to cross the moat, it would inevitably pile up like a mountain of corpses. After all, they had to brave dense arrows to complete this task.
But now the Qinghe army didn't have to worry about the arrows at the top of the city at all. They quickly put down the prepared planks, and the moat, which was only a few meters wide, was immediately paved with planks, forming more than a dozen attack channels.
The shield chariots and siege vehicles pushed by the soldiers of the Qinghe Army crossed the moat easily along the wooden passage, and slowly approached the city wall.
As the Qinghe army approached, the trebuchets also stopped bombing to avoid accidental injury, and after the indiscriminate bombing, the city was full of rubble and rubble, and it was a mess.
It's just that the Qinghe army's attacking troops have already reached the city wall, the siege vehicles approached the city wall, and countless ladders also leaned against the city wall.
Seeing that the attacking troops approached the city wall in such a short period of time, and the casualties paid were almost negligible, Tian Changjie, the head of the banner, also had a smile on his face.
Although it took a little longer than usual to practice, their cooperation on the battlefield was considered qualified.
After getting close to the city wall, Qinghe Saber and Shield soldiers climbed the ladder one after another, and the crashing cars also began to hit the city gate.
"Let the arrows! Let the arrows!"
Seeing the siege vehicles getting closer and closer, the mighty army officers at the top of the city also roared.
The archers of the Mighty Army and the Qinghe Army on the siege vehicle were shooting at each other at close range. People kept screaming and falling down, blood flying.
Teams of Qinghe Saber and Shield soldiers also went up the steps inside the siege vehicle. They will jump directly onto the city wall from the platform on the top of the siege vehicle to start a melee fight. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
