- The army surrounded the city on all sides. The first thing the Chu army attacked was the west gate of Huaining City. This gate is close to the Wan River and warships can go directly to the city, making it very suitable for attacking.
Lin Shihong had already prepared and built a large number of siege ships. The biggest feature of these siege ships is that they are tall. The ships are about five or six feet high. They have several layers of structure above and below, and each layer is equipped with a large number of crossbowmen. At the top is an arrow tower with several crossbows that can be fired continuously.
When it was time to attack, the Chu army's siege boats followed the river and got close to the city wall. Dozens of large tower bridges stretched out from the ship to hook the city wall tightly. Then a large number of Chu troops, under the cover of archers, passed through the tower bridge and launched an attack on the city head.
This siege ship is huge, and the several tower bridges that extend out are quite spacious, and can pass three or four people forward at a time.
The archery tower is higher than the city wall, and it is so condescending that there is no way to stop it from the top of the city. The elite infantry of the Chu army took advantage of the situation and attacked, almost unstoppable.
Lin Shihong relied on this trump card to conquer cities and territories in Jiangxi, and he was always disadvantageous.
The person guarding the west gate was Du Fuwei. At this time, he was a little confused looking at this huge thing and the Chu soldiers who were rushing towards him.
When the Chu army crossed the Tower Bridge, it was as if they were walking on flat ground. What could he do to stop the enemy?
At this time, Du Fuwei had no choice but to order the soldiers to use their flesh and blood to block the Tower Bridge and stop the Sui army. At the same time, they concentrated the bed crossbows at the top of the city and fired at the arrow towers on the Chu army's siege ships in an attempt to destroy this behemoth.
But since both sides were higher and lower, they were already at a disadvantage, and there was no cover above the city wall. The two sides exchanged fire, and the Sui army fell into a disadvantage.
The Sui army was already very skilled in using fire oil, so they always had rockets in the army. The arrow shaft is tied with linen cloth soaked in fire oil, lit and then shot out. Generally, it can ignite when it encounters dry objects.
But the attacking siege ships seemed to have been prepared for it. The Chu army covered the entire warship with a thick layer of buffalo skin, and the top arrow tower was coated with a layer of yellow mud. Not to mention rockets, even black powder may not be able to defeat them. .
The Chu army on the archery tower not only used arrows to shoot, but also prepared rolling wood, stones, and hot golden soup. This posture was supposed to be used on the siege side, and the Sui army felt it in advance.
The Sui army was suppressed, and its various arrangements could not be deployed at all. At this time, it would be difficult to block the gap at the Tower Bridge. Originally, to stop the enemy, you had to use a dense formation to take advantage of the regional manpower advantage to drive the opponent away. Now, wherever there are more people, the hits are severe, and those in front have to guard their heads. How could the Sui army fight comfortably?
Du Fuwei was so anxious that he was furious, but he had no choice but to send out the personal guards around him to fight for his life.
This personal guard can be regarded as Du Fuwei's military force. It was built by Kan Leng and they are all Mo Dao soldiers. Kan Leng is tall and majestic in appearance. He is good at using a two-edged sword and can kill several people with one swing. There is no strong opponent in front of him. This Mo Dao soldiers also selected a group of Shandong men who were the first to follow Du Fuwei. They all wore iron armor and used Mo Dao. Although there are less than a hundred people in total, they often act as soldiers to cut off the rear or open the way at critical moments. In the land south of the Yangtze River, there is almost no one who can stop them.
These are all Du Fuwei¡¯s treasures. If one of them dies, the other will be missing. But in this situation, Du Fuwei couldn't care about anything else.
As expected, these Mo Dao soldiers have amazing combat power. This group of people were covered in iron armor and were not afraid of damage from bows and crossbows. Several people stepped forward and formed a row across the tower bridge. Facing the enemies who came forward, they rose and fell, and several people were shattered and their bones were shattered. body.
Relying on this group of Mo swordsmen, the Sui army barely blocked the Chu army's attack.
But this is only temporary. After all, as long as the threat above their heads is not resolved, no matter how hard the Sui army fights, it will be nothing more than a struggle.
Soon, Mo Daobing also suffered casualties.
The crossbowmen of the Chu army are not blind, and ordinary bows and arrows cannot hurt them, but the huge crossbows and rolling logs and stones can be called heavy infantry killers.
Being condescending is as powerful as breaking a bamboo. 强牺 bxwx.co 读牺
Huang Weilie, who came to support at this time, also had a severe headache, but technical suppression could not be compensated by bravery. Facing the Chu army's siege ships, he had no good solution.
At this time, Huang Weilie's general Du Rui suggested that they support Huaining this time and bring many cans of fierce fire oil. Although rockets are unavailable, as long as they rush into the Chu army's siege ships, dump the kerosene and ignite them, they will surely destroy these warships.
Huang Weilie hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Du Rui's suggestion.
Although the fierce fire oil is their trump card for defending the city, it is a bit inappropriate to use it right after the war begins. But this time is already the most dangerous time. If you keep your trump card any longer, the city will be destroyed.
Du Rui put on the Mingguang Armor and personally led the team as the vanguard. At this time bxwx.co Zhang Si
There is an open road aheadThe swordsman was armed with a sword, and behind him were heavy infantrymen carrying clay pots filled with fierce fire oil.
Although the Tower Bridge of the Chu Army can pass four people, it is still too narrow for a battlefield, making it inconvenient for soldiers to move around.
Of course, this is the battlefield that is most beneficial to Mo Daoshou.
Although Mo Daoshou is famous for attacking cavalry, in fact, they have a greater advantage when facing infantry.
The tower bridge is 10 feet wide, and one swordsman can cover the entire front of the tower bridge. On both sides behind it, there is a rifleman as a cover.
The Mo Dao hand raised the Mo Dao, then swung it down heavily, then raised it up, and swung it down again, like a machine, going around and around. And the entire surrounding area was filled with broken corpses.
The Tower Bridge is almost three to four feet long, and the Chu army's rolling logs did not dare to hit it to prevent it from breaking.
But Du Rui and Mo Daoshou pushed back all the way, and no one could stop them, and they actually reached the siege ship in one breath.
Everyone started fighting with the Chu army on the siege ship.
However, there were too few Sui troops and too many Chu troops on the siege ships, so the two sides could only fight close to the side of the ships.
But this is enough.
The heavy infantrymen of the Sui Army who followed Mo Daoshou to the tower bridge and the side of the ship picked up the fire oil cans in the basket and threw them into the ship. Everyone didn't know which was the key point, or whether it was all the key points, so they could only throw it forward as hard as they could.
These heavy infantrymen were not willing to fight. After throwing away the fire oil cans in their hands, they returned the same way.
And Huang Weilie behind him also blew his whistle.
At this time, Du Rui led his people to retreat. This heavy infantry is inconvenient to move, difficult to advance, and even more difficult to retreat.
The crowd retreated quickly, and the Chu army bit them hard.
Although the Chu army did not understand the Sui army's intentions for a while. But the captain of the ship can also understand it. At this time, the Sui army was in the most chaotic shape, and it was very likely that they would take the opportunity to break through the city.
Once the Mo Daoshou of the Sui army returned, they reorganized their formation. The previous damage was all in vain.
The two sides soon started fighting fiercely on Tower Bridge.
At this time, many Chu troops from other directions had rushed to the city wall.
Seeing the Chu army rushing towards them, Du Fuwei didn't care that Mo Daoshou didn't return and directly ordered rocket fire.
The rocket was shot into the cabin and quickly ignited when it encountered fierce fire oil. The small flame suddenly burst into flames, and soon it began to burn blazingly. Zhida z.com Zhixiao
The fire finally started
