Although the enemy army took He Xian back, the city gate was closed again.
But Zhang Chong has decided to launch a general attack on Xuantu City.
As the cavalry coming down from Qipan Mountain circulated along the corridor to the various camps, the time to attack the city was decided, and it was set in the morning.
There is still an hour before this time, so each battalion seizes the time to rest.
At the same time, the supply battalions directly under each battalion also began to collect firewood nearby to prepare breakfast for the soldiers.
There was also the sound of intensive axes and chisels in the camp. It was the craftsmen and apprentices of the craftsman camp who were busy making trench-filling trucks, ladders and other siege equipment.
The craftsman battalion of the Taishan Army has been built as a key point in the army since the Taishan period. It has a set of regulations from recruitment, training, promotion, and treatment, which has made the engineering technology of the Taishan Army reach the peak of this world.
The dense forests in the Xuantu area also provide these craftsmen with the raw materials to fully display their talents. At this time, the rams, trebuchets, and crossbows that were densely arranged in each camp were the result.
Of course, these are busy days.
Soon, smoke from each camp rose, causing choking fireworks to burn outside the city. The rich aroma of meat is also wafting in this ancient land.
A moment passed. At this time the first drum started beating.
The officials in each battalion began to put down their dishes and chopsticks and began to take care of their equipment.
After another moment, the second drum beat sounded.
Each battalion forms a formation inside the battalion.
After another moment, the third drum beat sounded.
The entire army marched out of camp to the beat of drums.
At this time, the sun has fully risen and is shining golden and warm on the plain.
And these officials from all over the world, under the watchful eye of the king on Qipan Mountain, all drove towards their predetermined positions.
The banners, banners and dragons are flying below the city, and the barbarians above the city are sad.
This body is tied with grass to repay the kindness of the king, and the conversation and laughter of life enter the gate of heaven
……
Just now, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, and Le Jin each invited starters from the west, north, and east gates.
Among them, the two thousand Central Guards led by Yu Jin were the main attack force at the North Gate.
And Zhang Chong led General Hengchang down from Qipan Mountain at night, just behind the imperial army.
When the last drum stopped, the drums of the entire army rose up, and the general attack began.
Yuban Changxi of the North Road led a unit of 500 soldiers from the Central Guard Army to push the trench-filling truck forward.
The trench-filling vehicle was specially used to fill trenches. It was covered with cowhide to block arrows. People pushed it under the cover of the vehicle. After reaching the trench, they filled the trench with the sand they carried.
At this time, Chang Xi was wearing three layers of armor and personally led the team.
Listening to the noise of the enemy troops on the top of the city, Chang Xi gritted his teeth and pushed the trench-filling truck forward without saying a word.
Just like its name, the pig is brave and brave.
But in fact, Chang Xi has been holding his breath in his heart.
He and Yu Jin both belonged to the same group of soldiers who entered Mount Tai. What about now? Ren Yujin has become one of the five commanders, while Chang Xi is still a general. Even if Yu Jin had not been supporting and caring for him, Chang Xi would be even worse off than he is now.
This predicament is not a problem of Chang Xi's ability, but of his character and temperament.
Chang Xi fought bravely indeed, but he always liked to fight against the wind, and would retreat when the battle was hard and bitter.
In the Battle of Xingyang a few years ago, Yu Jin led the Central Guards to shoulder the important task of resisting Youzhou's sudden cavalry. In this battle, Yu Jin won his prestige, and his future success began from this battle.
But what about Changxi? Because when he was discovered after the war, he was wearing a Han army uniform, which became his biggest stain.
From then on, Changxi disappeared from everyone.
But Chang Xi was unwilling to give in. Chang Xi should not have this fate!
And now, under the king's watchful eye, this was his chance to change Chang Xi's life.
Arrows and falling rocks kept hitting the car's plaques, making clanging sounds.
At first, Chang Xi was worried that the car was not strong, but he did not expect that the materials used by the gang of craftsmen were quite solid.
In fact, it is thanks to the high quality of the dense forest trees on this plain that they are all old trees of unknown age.
Therefore, the shooting by the Han army above was happy, but in fact, the Taishan army has not hurt a single skin so far.
When Chang Xi led his team to the first trench under the city, it heralded the breakthrough of this trench.
The Hu and Han officials on the top of the city also reacted. They first fired a round of rockets downwards, and then discovered that these Taishan troops had hung a cowhide on every vehicle, which could be described as a shameless luxury.
Seeing that the rocket arrows had no effect, the Hu and Han officials on the top of the city panicked, but soon they began to carry the falling rocks to the battlements, planning to wait for the siege vehicles to arrive and destroy them directly with the falling rocks.
But while they were waiting anxiously, a roaring sound suddenly broke through the air.
After that, there is no more for them.
At the same time, the east, west, and north city walls were all being bombarded by the Taishan Army's stone-launching carts.
The Hu and Han officials on the top of the city had no experience in dealing with this kind of bombardment. Their morale collapsed and they retreated to the top of the city in panic.
The Taishan Army performed infantry and artillery coordination for the first time in Liaodong and achieved great results.
The three-county coalition forces deployed under the three city walls looked desperately at the giant beasts that kept throwing boulders in the distance. The clods of earth, gravel, and corpses falling from above kept hitting the heads of these people.
The original dense formation became more and more chaotic.
Yu Jin in the north stood on the drum cart. After seeing this scene, he decisively ordered:
"Come forward!" "Drums!"
Then the drum beat loudly behind him.
The battalions of the Central Guard Army had been deployed before the war, and two captains, Chen Huan and Xu Zhong, lined up to attack.
Amidst the majestic drums of war, the mountains and tsunamis roared on the battlefield, and the entire army was working hard.
Perhaps frightened by such momentum, the flags on Xuantu City seemed to be a little lower. But soon, the other side also started beating drums, which was the last dignity of the Han army.
The killing fields of humans frightened the birds and beasts in this ancient forest. The birds fled and the animals rushed.
At this time, the first trench had been filled, and the sand on the second trench was mostly filled.
Chen Huan behind him has already begun to give orders:
"The whole army shoots five arrows quickly with long bows, aiming at 200 steps."
The rangefinder shouted:
"Two hundred steps, here we come!"
So, as Chen Huan's army commanded, the thousands of crossbowmen in his battalion began to fire rapidly at an angle of 45 degrees. In just two breaths, five thousand arrows were released on the Han army's formation under the city to the north.
This Han army belongs to Gaoguli County, and there are only 500 soldiers in one group. It was originally hit by falling rocks on the city wall, but now it was hit by a salvo of five thousand arrows from the opposite side, and it collapsed.
Such is the power of the Taishan Army's crossbows that a standard Han army camp would collapse if it could not withstand a single salvo on the battlefield.
These Han soldiers continued to retreat back while carrying the injured Paoze, and at first they called for the door to be opened from behind, but there was no movement at all from the north gate.
In this way, these people could only follow the wall and prepare to go around to the south gate to enter the city.
But the Taishan Army's assault cavalry had already begun cruising along the edge of the battlefield. Seeing these stragglers preparing to circle the city to the south gate, they all intercepted and mounted fire.
In the end, the entire Gaoguli camp was wiped out.
As a battalion of Han soldiers was completely annihilated without being able to engage in close combat, the Han army on the city began to fall into a huge panic.
At this moment, a strong Luoyang Zhengyin suddenly floated from the top of the city:
"The Taishan Army below the city, can someone come forward to answer the question?"
This sentence followed the frontline military officials and reached Yu Jin's ears on the drum cart. Yu Jin snorted coldly:
"We've been fighting, what's there to talk about now? Let them present the city and talk later!"
With that said, Yu Jin asked someone to pass the message over.
But at this moment, Shi Shenshang, commander of the Central Guard Army, suddenly stopped Yu Jin and whispered:
"The king is still behind."
Yu Jin suddenly understood and immediately asked the military officer to send the news to the king behind him.
Soon, the military officer came back again. He panted and told Yu Jin:
"The king's decree: You decide everything on the front line. What you want is what I want."
Yu Jin sighed, showed his face and said to Shen Shang:
"Lao Shen, you think this is what the king means."
Shen Shang did not laugh, but reminded:
"It means it, but whether we take this action or not is another matter."
He was taught in the ban.
When he saw that the military officials were tired, a tiger soldier from the busy Han chariot came out of the front line to convey his message.
So, this tiger soldier wore iron armor and marched quickly on the marching road.
This cavalry was also brave and ran directly into the shooting range upstairs before stopping.
This person shouted:
"Stop talking and wait until you come out with jade in your mouth, there is plenty of time to talk."
These words were not polite, but Ji Gao on the top of the city was not angry at all.
He first boasted:
"Who is this hero in the city? He is so brave and brave, yet he can be so confident in my shooting."
The majestic tiger warrior dismissed it and shouted:
"Grandson, remember, it is the public surname Yu Mingjin, don't forget it. Because the person who takes your head must be this person."
It turns out that this tiger warrior is named Yu Jin.
This adopted son that Yu Jin took in during the Battle of Changshao is now so majestic.
First Zhang Shao, then Guan Ping, and then Yu Jin, these children of the Taishan Army began to stand out in the army and began to shoulder the future of the Taishan Army.
Ji Gao is also a hero. He is much older than Yu Jin. How can he be humiliated by such a kid?
But he endured it because he knew the city could not be defended.
So, he shouted again:
"Listen to my advice, I have a strong army in Xuantu City. Even if you wait for ten days and ten nights, you will not be able to waver. I know that your intention is in Liaodong, and I am willing to let the road pass and let your army pass. I The government promises that it will guard the city and never make any mistakes.”
But the Taishan Army below did not listen to this again.
Chang Xi, who was at the forefront of the army, had completely broken through the ditch under the city and began to push the ladder to the foot of the north gate.
At this time, the Han army officers and soldiers on the north gate had been driven to the top of the city again by the soldiers behind them.
The stone-producing carts at the rear of the Taishan Army also stopped, because Changxi's troops had already arrived at the city, and any further attacks would cause accidental damage.
And below, we can only rely on the Central Guards to get to the top of the city.
At this time, Chang Xi, who was covered in armor and holding a giant ax in his hand, shouted:
"Those who don't believe in fate, follow us!"
After saying this, Chang Xi jumped onto the ladder and stepped forward regardless of his own safety.
Behind him, countless soldiers stepped forward.
Come forward! Come forward!
The thoughts of millions of people converge into this sentence:
"Come forward!"
