Chapter 472： : Loss of soldiers and generals

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Fifty roaring boulders smashed into the soldiers who were pushing Jing Lan, although the Jing Lan in front of them was covered by cowhide. The arrow shot from above was so fragile in front of the boulder. More than a dozen soldiers hit the boulder. It was terrible and wailed. Although the two boulders did not hit the soldier, they fell in the middle of the soldier. On the clearing ground, splashing stone chips caused a lot of trouble to the Jizhou army.

The worst was the two wells that were greeted by the key points. One of them was hit by three boulders and broke down. The archers on the wells could not avoid it, and fell to the ground together with the wells, splashing dust and smoke. Whenever the soldiers hit by Jing Lan screamed hysterically.

There were a total of 20 wells that attacked Dangyin City, but facing the huge boulders flying over the city, all the soldiers pushing the wells were frightened. This is not an arrow, but a stone flying from the city. Don't say it is resisted, I am afraid that even a shield cannot stop it. Death is not terrible, but when faced with an irresistible death, there will inevitably be a big shadow in the heart.

This also caused many soldiers to keep looking ahead when they pushed the wells. Once a boulder flew again, they could escape as quickly as possible.

On the battlefield, once the offensive order is issued, the soldiers can only move forward but not retreat, otherwise they can only be greeted with swords and spears.

"There is this thing in the field, why didn't the spies find it out?" Yuan Shao asked with a low face.

Feng Ji arched his hands and said: "This object is probably what the Bingzhou army used when it seized Jiguan. Zhang Liao was cautious and took care of this object very strictly. The spies could not touch the objects in the army."

"If Dangyin is breached, these things belong to the prince." Yuan Shao's eyes flashed and shouted: "Order the soldiers to attack Dangyin City. The maximum number of soldiers and horses in the city will be no more than four thousand."

"Here." Zhang Xi took the order, Wen Chou died, Yan Liang was captured, Zhang Xi's position in the army has also been greatly improved.

"Don't control the well, aim at those soldiers." Zhang Liao ordered.

The soldiers manipulating the Thunderbolt suddenly became much faster. Although the Thunderbolt has been improved by Ma Jun, it has made great progress in accuracy, but it takes too long to aim, and the launch speed of a Thunderbolt by itself is very difficult. .

Enemy forces are densely packed under the city. Soldiers who control the Thunderbolt only need to throw blocks of boulders down the city wall without aiming.

The huge boulders flying down from the city caused great panic to the siege Union Army. They saw a soldier holding a shield directly smashed to death by the boulder, and the shield in his hand was also shattered by the boulder. , Death is extremely miserable.

"Kill!" As soon as the commander in front of him gave the order, he felt that his eyes were black. A huge rock had left him outside the city forever, his head blossomed, and the death of the general was deeply irritating the surrounding soldiers. If it weren't for the soldiers on both sides who watched and supervised the battlefield, they would definitely not come forward.

After evading the thunderbolt, the soldiers of the Jizhou Army were greeted by dense arrows. As for the archers on Jinglan, the damage caused to the city was minimal. On the contrary, they had to take care of their lives, because the soldiers of the Jizhou Army The archer is too good.

On such a battlefield, there is basically no way for wounded soldiers to survive. Paoze will not stop because of their screams. Unless they are generals, they will be taken to the rear for treatment. The life and death of ordinary soldiers. , No one cares.

A ladder was hung on the top of the city. Without Zhang Liao's order, two or three soldiers pushed the ladder down with one push, causing the soldiers of the Jizhou Army below to be a little flustered.

"Beat the drum!" Yuan Shao shouted when the soldiers began to climb the ladder.

The drums on the battlefield suddenly became denser, and the soldiers of the Jizhou army who had attacked the city understood that it was time to desperately.

A soldier who had just boarded the city wall, before he had time to wave his weapon, was penetrated by a long spear and crashed down from the city.

Lok wood is deadly to the soldiers on the ladder. Often a single lok wood can make all the soldiers who are climbing the ladder fall.

This is an unfair battle. The Union State Army defending the city not only has a weapon like the Thunderbolt, but also has plenty of arrows in the city.

The loss of the Jizhou army at this time was about ten to one with that of the defending army.

As the sun sets, countless times the Jizhou Army’s siege of the city has been driven down by the tenacious Bianzhou Army, and the Perak’s cars are constantly raging in the siege army.

"Mingjin retreat!" Yuan Shao ordered when it was too late.

The Jizhou army that was attacking the city retreated like a tide, and Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief. The number of the Jizhou army was twice that of the defenders in the city. The Jizhou army had a foothold on the wall by accident, and wanted to defend the dangyin again. , It becomes very difficult In this battle, the Jizhou Army has caused the greatest damage than the archers, but the most feared by the Jizhou Army is the Thunderbolt. They would rather face bows and arrows. His hands are unwilling to face unstoppable boulders.

After counting the losses, Yuan Shao's complexion was not very good, and after only one day of attack, he lost two thousand soldiers.

"Everyone, there are weapons in the city to defend the city, can there be a good strategy to break the enemy?" Yuan Shao glanced around at everyone. Although he has a weapon like a crossbow, in the siege, the Thunderbolt clearly has the upper hand. In comparison, , The attack distance of the Thunderbolt is farther than the crossbow, and Jing Lan also lost a half in the siege.

"Lord, the things that can throw boulders down the city wall are powerful, but they are slow. If the army approaches the city wall at a very fast speed, these things will lose their effect. The key is how to suppress the defenders on the city." Xu You said: "The archers on Jing Lan also died severely. If this continues, even if Dangyin is captured, our army will suffer heavy casualties."

"Order the meticulous work in the city to destroy these things at all costs." Yuan Shao said.

Feng Ji showed a bitter expression, it was impossible to destroy the Thunderbolt in the heavily guarded city of Dangyin.

"Lord, why not attack Dangyin in three ways. There are only a few thousand defenders in the city. It may be acceptable to defend one wall, but if you defend three walls, you will not be able to catch it." Feng Ji suggested.

Everyone rushed to put forward a lot of suggestions. At this time, it is very simple for a counselor to become famous. As long as the strategy can be adopted, the status of Jizhou will be greatly improved. This is also the general in the army who dare not be small. The reason for looking at any literati, because I don’t know when, these literati may become superiors, and the literati basically doesn’t need to make a move if they want to punish them, they just need to move their mouths.
