- At this time, the Chu army started to panic when they saw that the siege ships were set on fire.
Mainly because everyone previously thought that the siege ship was an unsinkable mobile castle and had great expectations for it. Therefore, it suddenly caught fire and everyone lost their preparedness, and then they began to panic.
Even many Chu troops who had already attacked the city fled back in a hurry when they saw the siege ship catching fire.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and soon spread to all parts of the ship, even extending to the tower bridge.
At this time, Du Rui was fighting fiercely on the Tower Bridge with the Chu army following him. Seeing the fire rushing towards him, he didn't care about anything else and turned around and left.
But the fire did not need to catch up with him, because the fire had already burned the other side of the tower bridge.
I saw the Tower Bridge swaying, making a "crackling" sound, and soon broke and fell down.
But Du Rui was wearing iron armor and had difficulty moving. When he reached the top of the city, before he could jump off, he was lifted up by the falling tower bridge and then fell down.
At this critical moment, Huang Weilie, with quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed Du Rui, but Du Rui's weight of hundreds of kilograms fell, and his strength was so domineering that Huang Weilie was almost taken down by him.
The others stepped forward one after another and pulled Du Rui up.
The Sui army followed the same method in other tower bridges. These tower bridges also suffered a similar fate as here and were burned down one after another.
The Chu troops on the ship tried their best to put out the fire, but it was useless. The entire siege ship is a wooden ship, and its fireproof function is to protect it from the outside but not the inside.
At this time, the fire spread almost from the center to all sides. By the time the Chu troops everywhere found out, the entire siege ship had become a sea of ??flames and was irreversible.
Soon, the siege ship was burned in the fire. Most of the soldiers on the ship, especially those in the arrow tower above, failed to escape in time and were eventually killed in the sea of ??fire.
"On the entire siege ship, only the group of people who escaped at the beginning were spared, and those soldiers who fought desperately were the ones who died the most tragically, which is both embarrassing and people don't know what to say.
With this experience, the Sui army followed suit and burned the other two siege ships.
These siege ships are huge and expensive to build. One of them can rival ten or a hundred ordinary ships. Lin Shihong's family was not rich, and he only carried six ships despite the efforts of all the counties in Jiangzhou. Unexpectedly, he lost half of them on the first day. 强牺 yunxuange.org 读牺
There were three ships left, and Lin Shihong did not dare to directly attack them.
Seeing that the city wall would be difficult to attack for a while, Lin Shihong ordered a surprise attack from the water gate.
The Chu army had many athletes with good water skills, so Lin Shihong organized a commando team to lurk secretly along the Wanshui River and approached the water gate of Huaining City.
But the Chu army did not expect that what they were facing was the spear team that had been waiting there for a long time.
As soon as the soldiers of the Chu army approached the water gate, the defenders used special water-dividing spears to pass through the iron gate to attack them, stabbing and stabbing countless people to death.
The Chu army desperately grabbed the spear with their hands to block the Sui army's attack.
At this time, the spear thrusts of the defenders inside stopped. The Chu army was overjoyed for a moment, thinking that the defenders had escaped. Unexpectedly, after a while, spears began to be stabbed outwards again. The Chu army was ready to repeat the same trick this time, so they still grabbed it with their hands. But they were not prepared at all. The Sui army had already roasted their spears and iron hooks on the fire until they were red, and then used them to attack the Chu army.
So all the victims screamed, and the Chu army suffered heavy casualties.
At this point, the Chu army¡¯s intention of attacking from Shuimen was completely in vain.
Seeing that the attack on the east wall was not going well, Lin Shihong decided to move to the south wall. This gate was open on all sides and was very suitable for attack.
But to be honest, this is not a good choice.
As I said before, Du Fuwei's adopted son Kan Leng was tall and majestic in appearance, good at wielding the sword, and his bravery was rare in the world.
A strong man with a height of 1.9 meters or more, wearing armor all over his body, holding a Mo knife, can block the gods and kill the gods, and the demons can block the demons. This terrifying situation, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are here, I'm afraid it will be worse.
Seeing the Chu army taking the initiative to attack the southern city wall, Kan Leng was not prepared to sit back and wait for death, but was preparing for a surprise attack.
So Kan Leng ordered that in the face of the Chu army's attack, the city's arrows should not be fired back violently, but only ordinary resistance could be made.
Sure enough, Lin Shihong was overjoyed when he saw that the arrows at the south gate were sparse, and there didn't seem to be many trees or stones. He just felt that the opponent's fighting power was insufficient, so he used this as a point to break the city.
So Lin Shihong ordered people to pull all the well railings, rams and other weapons to the front of the formation and push the southern city wall close to Huaining City.
This is the moment Kan Leng has been waiting for.
In Du Fuwei's army, most of them are infantry and there are very few cavalry, but this does not mean that there is no cavalry in the army.
Especially after Du Fuwei surrendered to Huang Weiyang, Huang Weiyang successively provided Du Fuwei with thousands of horses and hundreds of soldiers who were skilled in riding and archery from the Sui army to enhance their combat power.
At this time, all this group of people were placed inside the south gate.
Kan Leng ordered the city gate to be opened, and he personally mounted his horse as the vanguard.
Although Kan Leng is not an excellent cavalry commander and his riding skills are average, he has one thing that others don't have. He is fierce.
The Sui army opened the city gate, and the Chu army on the opposite side was stunned. Why did the city gate they were desperately attacking suddenly open? The Chu army who was pushing siege equipment never expected that the people in the city were so bold and dared to rush out.
And Kan Leng led the cavalry in the city, as if the god of killing came to the world, like showing off his power, he rushed forward, cutting melons and vegetables, and killed most of the Chu troops in front. This time yunxuange.org Zhang Si
As for the siege equipment sent to the city, they were all destroyed by the Sui army.
As for the Chu army on the opposite side, they were completely powerless to stop them.
After doing this, Kan Leng led his soldiers back to the city in a swaggering manner.
The Sui army looked like they were in an uninhabited land. Lin Shihong almost vomited blood when he saw it. It was simply too much bullying.
So Lin Shihong ordered a fierce attack on the south gate, but most of the siege equipment was lost, and the power of the cavalry left a deep impact on everyone's hearts and severely damaged morale.
There are few war horses in the south, and there are no large numbers of cavalry troops.
Horses are usually quite docile, but who would have thought that on the battlefield, thousands of horses galloping, the sound is like thunder, and so cruel.
Continuous siege defeats severely dampened the morale and enthusiasm of the Chu army. The Chu army started in Yuzhang, and all they faced were the local troops of the Sui Dynasty. Their combat power was extremely weak, and they had no idea what a real strong army looked like.
Even Lin Shihong was muttering, why is this Sui army different from the ones he encountered before? Where are the Sui armies who were as fearful of the enemy as tigers and as timid as chickens and mice that they encountered in Jiangzhou counties?
The Sui army resisted so tenaciously. Could it be that if they came with such force, they would be defeated and unable to return? Zhida z.com Zhixiao
Lin Shihong was unwilling to accept this result. Although he was the emperor of Chu, the power of the Cao family in the army was extremely powerful. Many people were still worried about him inheriting the position of Cao Shiqi. Once the army was defeated, they would take action against the Cao family. Reasons and opportunities, this is something Lin Shihong never wants to see.
Lin Shihong was frightened by the brutality of the battles in the past few days. He felt that the troops should be refitted, and then a new batch of siege equipment should be built before attacking
