Chapter 160 Fighting for merit
The Jianzhou Army had already set up a high platform outside the city, about half a foot high. At this time, Sun Yu was standing in the middle and looking at the battlefield. The crossbow camp of the first regiment and the second regiment had covered the city head for more than half an hour. Six new siege cars were slowly approaching the city wall. This was the first time that the new siege cars had been put into actual combat. Sun Yu was full of expectations.
Gao Qi, who was nestled under the bush of arrows, looked up and took a breath. This guy was half a foot taller than the city wall, and it was hard to defend the city.
"Quick, catapult, aim, smash it for me!" Takasaki shouted loudly to the back, but there was no movement at all, without any response, and they were all lying in the corner to avoid the rain of arrows, similar to Takasaki's posture.
"Go, no one comes out, just behead your head." Takasaki yelled at his personal soldiers. If this continues, he will even fart. His archer has been almost gone. Now he is relying on this catapult. If he can destroy these big guys, he will probably be able to hold on for a while longer.
The siege car was getting closer and closer, and the catapult kept firing. Finally, one shot was accurate and hit the siege car head-on. However, attacking it was as if nothing had happened, and continued to slowly approach the head of the city. The big iron plate on the front was not a decoration.
"Bang" At a place three meters away from the city wall, the siege car stopped, and the thick ladder flipped directly and landed on the city wall. This is not so much a ladder, but rather a passage, with guard plates on both sides blocking the incoming bows and arrows. Just the moment the ladder was placed, the soldiers of the Dao and Shield Camp rushed towards the city like a tide, which was much more convenient than climbing a cloud ladder.
Gao Qi led his elite troops to stop them desperately, and the two sides broke out in fierce battles at the top of the city. The other two city gates were not idle. Although there were no siege cars, they climbed up with temporary ladders. The sound of killing sounds shook the sky on the entire Yongchun County city.
The battle situation at the city wall was extremely stalemate. The Jianzhou Army can only occupy a small area at present and cannot expand the results of the battle. Chen Qiba was anxious and was ready to rush forward with a sledgehammer.
"Bahu, wait a moment, it won't be the time." Sun Yu called out to Chen Qiba. Although he was brave, the other party was at the time of the strongest fighting spirit. At this time, he would probably be difficult to escape unscathed.
"As for the order." Bahu scratched his head and sat on the ground. He was anxious. The soldiers of Jianzhou Army were pushed down from the city. They were all brothers who brought them out.
"Go, arrange a heavy armored infantry in each passage and rush up." Sun Yu saw it clearly. The other party arranged large shields and spearmen next to each siege car, and cooperated with each other. His sword and shield soldiers did not have heavy armor, which was too much of a loss.
"It would be great if this siege car could move horizontally." Lao Cheng touched his chin so that he could change places everywhere, making it difficult for the other party to set up defenses.
"It's a good idea. Let's talk to the craftsman camp and study it." Sun Yu's eyes lit up. Yes, in that case, he could change places to the city at any time, and it would be difficult for the other party to concentrate on defense. However, this matter is probably quite difficult. It involves the steering of the chassis. When the battle is over, we will go back and think about it carefully.
The heavy-armored infantry marched extremely slowly, but they walked forward firmly, and each step was as steady as a rock.
As soon as the heavy armored infantry arrived, the sword and shield soldiers at the top of the city suddenly became much more relaxed. The heavy armored infantry formed a line of defense in front, constantly expanding outward, seizing territory, and the support behind them continued to continue, and the strength comparison at the top of the city gradually changed.
"Bahu, Lao Cheng, you can take people to have dinner first, and you will be there later.
Our brothers at the city wall will replace them first. Don’t rush to expand the results of the battle, fight steadily, and bring some big shields and spearmen to the top." Sun Yu’s advantage is that there are many soldiers. Now that the soldiers at the city wall have been fighting for a long time, they will inevitably lose their strength in a while. I guess the other party is too tired, so I will send Lao Cheng and Chen Qiba to take the guard camp personally to the city wall, and I should be able to drive the other party down in one fell swoop. Now, Sun Yu has been much calmer in the face of the battlefield, and arranges the attack in an orderly manner, and does not rush to gain or lose for a while.
Cheng Zhenbei and Chen Qiba didn't say much, and went to the camp to arrange meals. It was almost noon. Now they have stood firm at the top of the city, and there is no reason to withdraw troops. This battle will definitely continue until the city is captured.
County Magistrate Ding of Yongchun County is organizing personnel to transfer the supplies from the north gate to the east and west gates. The other party directly used a big guy like a siege car, and there was no need for rolling stones and wood, and it was impossible to smash the other party at all. Originally, the North Gate was the main target of attack, and now it was consumed heavily between the east and west gates.
Across the distance, County Magistrate Ding could hear the shouts of killing at the top of the city wall. The shouts of killing were getting louder and louder. It must be that more and more people on the other side climbed to the top of the city wall. I don’t know if General Gao could withstand it. At least he had to hold on until tomorrow before there could be reinforcements. As for his family, he was arranged to go to the South Gate. If he couldn’t defend it, he would flee from the South Gate to Quanzhou.
When changing hands, the opponent once organized a counterattack, but they were all blocked. The soldiers of the Guards gradually stood firm at the top of the city and counterattacked outside, and their physical strength advantages quickly expanded.
Yongchun County guard Gao Qi knew their intentions as soon as the other party changed people. He wanted to take advantage of the other party's chaos to counterattack, but now he has no chance and can only watch the other party advance step by step.
The casualties of the Yongchun County defenders expanded rapidly, and the civilians who organized the group to help defend the city had already left their tools and ran away missing. Even the soldiers who originally arranged for Takasaki to maintain order here to escape, followed by, which was obviously impossible to defend.
"I surrender!" A soldier guarding the city saw that there were more and more people from the other party, and he wanted to escape, but he couldn't get rid of it. The back was full of his own people, blocking the road, but he had no choice but to throw his long sword to the ground and surrender.
The soldiers of the Guards kicked his long sword away, bypassed the man and continued to kill him behind, capturing the brothers behind Yi. Originally, everyone tried to fight back with one breath, but now there are surrenders, forming a broken window effect. Wherever the Guards go, there are many surrenders.
"General, retreat." Seeing that the situation was wrong, the personal soldiers turned their heads to look down at the city. The county magistrate Ding Liuqiu had long disappeared, and he would not be able to leave if he didn't leave.
"Let's go!" Takasaki stomped his feet resentfully and ran towards the city with his personal soldiers. The horses in the city had already been gathered and guarded by his confidants. Takasaki and his team of dozens of horsemen headed straight to the south gate.
"General, do you want to set a fire and burn the warehouse?" The personal soldiers asked as they walked. There were still a lot of supplies in the warehouse, so they kept for the other party. Isn't it a reward for the enemy?
"Forget it, escaping is important." Takasaki shook his head. He had thought of this before, but he finally gave up. If he set the fire down, if it falls into the other party's hands in the future, he will probably be dead and will never die.
As soon as the main general fled, the city was in chaos. The soldiers in front surrendered one after another, and the one behind scattered and fled to the city. Chen Qiba personally led his men to open the city gate, allowing the main force of the army to enter the city, and Cheng Zhenbei took people to the east and west gates.
“
Lord, the enemy general led dozens of cavalry out of the south gate. Should we chase after him?" Chen Qiba welcomed Sun Yu into the door, and all the soldiers who surrendered at the top of the city were gathering together.
"No, if you can't get out, clean up the city, and all the escaped soldiers will be captured. In addition, take over the warehouse first and count the supplies." Sun Yu kept the south gate, giving them hope of escaping. Hundreds of cavalry were outside and could not escape from his palms. On the contrary, those deserters who fled to the city, if they were not captured, would cause greater harm to the people in the city than the army entering the city.
"Here!" Chen Qiba and his men ran towards the city.
Nearly 20,000 troops searched the city, and the fleeing enemy soldiers were searched one by one. Except for a very small number of those who were killed in resistance, most of them were captured.
Speaking of which, Gao Qi, with dozens of cavalry, just after walking out of the south gate, he was intercepted by Han Zaiwu and more than 100 cavalrymen.
"Retreat and go from the west." Han Qi, who wanted to lead people to break through directly, saw the other party's cavalry crossbow that had been long on the string, aiming at his own rank, so he could only give up this idea and prepare to take a detour.
"General Gao, I am Gao Huichang, we are our family, why don't you surrender to me?" Takasaki just turned his horse's head and saw another team of cavalry coming from behind. The same cavalry crossbows lined up in front of Takasaki. When Takasaki saw this posture, he had become a turtle in the jar and had no way to escape.
"Old Gao, you are not kind enough. I'll stop you first." Han Zaiwu was a little dissatisfied. You can still get along with a relationship with a captive, which is too shameless.
"If I hadn't arrested the magistrate of Lao Shizi, would you have the advantage?" Gao Huichang ignored it. Han Zaiwu was more likely to be in front of adults on weekdays. This time he was working hard to make contributions, otherwise his brothers would have to blame him to death.
"You have caught a big fish, I have nothing." Han Zaiwu said angrily. When the county magistrate left the city, he just missed a move and was taken first by Gao Huichang. This time he could not lose his gain.
"Or why not, we are half of each one." Gao Huichang spread his hands and saw someone who was worthy of his own. He wanted to make no fuss even if he could get it. That would be no way.
Gao Qi was frightened when he heard this. What does one person mean? Could it be that he would kill himself and dismember himself? This is the case with the King of Chu Xiang Yu. After his death, his body was robbed by Liu Bang's subordinates and divided into more than a dozen pieces, and he couldn't even fight.
"That, General Gao, I am willing to surrender." Takasaki suppressed his inner uneasiness. He couldn't escape anyway, so he surrendered. This family seems to be more kind-hearted, but he is more reliable.
"There are all, listen to my order." Han Zaiwu was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this. You fucking look down on yourself, right? A group of cavalrymen flattened the cavalry's crossbow and put their fingers on the trigger. As long as Han Zaiwu gave the order, he would shoot them into hedgehogs.
"This general, I am willing to surrender." Gao Qi was startled and quickly turned his horse's head and saluted Han Zaiwu. This person had a stronger temper and survived first was the right way.
"Everyone has it, prepare. Lao Han, do you think I don't exist?" Gao Huichang was not polite, could he bear it? He just grabbed the credit in front of himself and treated me as a waste.
"What are you two groups of turtles doing? Are you all looking for death?" Zhang Daqiu led the law enforcement camp and saw something was wrong here from a distance, so he hurried over.
