16. Siege planning
On both sides of the flying cannon position, several earthen mountains extend. Behind the wooden fences on them, there are either or half-kneeling infantry crossbowmen of the Yining Army.
In the position behind the seven-shot artillery, there were two large siege formations. The front formation was full of Qiang cavalry and Yisong, and the back formation was the infantry of the Yining Army, all holding sword cards, Pinglong long swords and boring palladium.
In the north and south directions, there are Gao Chongwen, Wu Xianfu and Fan Xichao's siege teams.
Soon Gao Yue walked out of the tent, watched the mighty siege team for a while, and then looked at the ruins of the old Great Wall that loomed north of the Fangqu, and the boundless yellow earth grass. He asked Gao Gu, the soldiers and horses around him, "Are you all deployed?"
Gao Gu and other military generals stood up solemnly and said that they were all deployed.
Gao Yue thoughtfully and said one by one: "Ming Huaiyi, Mi Yuan led the first and second battalions of the Dingwu Army's cavalry, guarding Wulun Mountain Road, and blocking the north escape route of Fangqu City;
Zhu Bo, Sha Tong led the Third Battalion of Dingwu Cavalry, wandered around Quzitan, and cooperated with Fan Xichao's two thousand Binning troops to block the escape route in Fangqu City in the south;
The Supu tribe of the Five Camps of Feishan, and the Qiang cavalry and the ten surnames of Yelong, totaling 2,500 people, pulled five seven-pin cannons and attacked Fangqucheng Qiao Tower and the city gate from the east;
Killing cattle, white horse, and Shuyi tribes Yicong Qiang soldiers in front, Yining army jumped, five battalions, forty-five pillars, and three thousand Qingzhou soldiers in Ming Dynasty, and first climbed Fangqu City;
The remaining five battalions of the Yining Army stood on the earthen mountain and suppressed the Fangqu city wall with divine thunder rockets and crossbows;
Wu Xianfu's three thousand Bining soldiers attacked from the south of the city, while Gao Chongwen's three thousand Shencai decided to attack from the north of the city;
In addition, Xu Si's mule army left and right camps were the Yuqi team of Ben Yin, and he remained unmoved."
After dictating all these subordinates, Gao Yue turned around and asked the scribe commander, Yuhou Li Xian, to repeat it.
Li Xian did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly declared Gao Yue's deployment in front of the generals and Yi Congmaster.
As for Xu Si bowing his head again, it turned out that the Mule Soldiers were responsible for this battle, Yu Qi's team (the head coach's general reserve team), and he was still not the pioneer!
Before he could complain, Gao Yue said again: "When siege, first shoot huge rocks, then rockets, and finally the Qiang soldiers first attach the city wall to set up a ladder, and Yining and Qingzhou soldiers follow. OK, start!"
With this command, at the edge of Gaofu in front of the tent, a row of Dingwu Army junior college students bulged their cheeks and whined the huge horns they had set up to whimper to Fangqucheng under the sunlight and smoke.
At the top of Fangqu City, the strong men of the Yeli and the Big Worm clans were all sitting behind the female wall, hanging strings on their bows and ears, and some just grabbed a sharp stone. Their lips were all cracked, and their eyes were filled with a terrifying light. The sound of trumpets and the Tang soldiers who were densely lined up in the wilderness in the east of the city told them that the last moment of Fangqu City was here.
The entire city that only reigns for six miles around has gathered nearly 40,000 men and women, which has caused terrifying people to be everywhere under Luocheng and the walls of sheep and horses. Before the war has officially begun, there are groups of people walking around the Tang army camp with their hands. What they want is to subdue and survive, and they can no longer bear the torture of being cut off from water and food.
"Rare!" As Ding let go, and the waving of the order flag, under the extremely tall seven-tip cannon stand, there were as many as four or five hundred people. They raised their faces and saw that the horizontal axis of the cannon head was full of dazzling sunlight, and they could hardly open their eyes. Countless ropes were tied to them and pulled the other in their hands. One rope for every fifty people. With the order of "Rare", they all shouted in unison, and everyone's steps were all going westward. The side moved collectively, carrying the clusters of opium, and pulled the thick rope hard. With the huge monster-like squeal, ten such ropes were pulled quickly, and suddenly pulled the horizontal axis of the cannon stand to flip. The high swing arm was also pulled up and suddenly extended into the sky. Then the skin the bean-sized skin at the top was shaken. The heavy stone ball, under the action of centrifugal force, rose straight into the high altitude and turned into a rotating black dot.
At the same time, five "black dots" took off in the air, and under different arcs, they smashed into the watchtower and the horse-faced wall of Fangqu City.
A thunderous sound rushed up, and a huge smoke pillar was smashed at the east gate of the entire Fangqu City. The tower was split into three pieces almost instantly. The eaves, windows, beams and pillars collapsed, shattered, and rolled. The Yeli and the Great Zerg people hiding inside were very dense, and the lives of many people were immediately swallowed up. Others could only hide behind the female wall and crawled in vain...
The seven-tip cannon swings his arms up and down, and then continued to shoot the huge stone balls inside and outside Fangqu City. A stone ball rolled, and cut off the female wall thirty steps away from the side of the watchtower three or four feet in a diagonal manner. The more than ten Dangxiang standing on it all became flesh and blood, all of which were pasted on the stone balls, jumped straight into the top of the Dangxiang women and children who were hiding in the shed under the inner walls of the city, landed among the dense heads, rolling and crushing the straw shed more than ten steps long, with broken limbs, brains and dirty blood everywhere.
Half an hour later, several gates of Fangqu City were opened, and people whined and rushed to escape. Some were stabbed to death in front of the long wooden fence, while others ran to the Maling River to jump into the water.
Countless burning rockets broke away from the besieged earthen mountain, rose and fell down brilliantly. The buildings on the east wall of Fangqu City, the women's walls and sheds began to burst out from all over the buildings, and then they formed a group of burning, but there was no water in the city to put out the fire. Many burning Dangxiangs screamed and jumped off the wall, falling to pieces.
Soon, the seven-pin cannon stopped firing and silently pointed at the incomplete Fangqu City Wall.
But the hidden tiger cannon sprayed out fireworks, and several shells shot out were more of a deterrent effect. This was used as a signal - the Qiang people of the two tribes of killing cattle and white horses, carrying a cloud ladder made of a large wood, holding bows and arrows, and rushing towards Fangqu City like a tide. The gunners of the Dingwu Army wearing three-layer cotton coats and holding "fire tubes". They arrived at the fence set up by the soldiers of Fangqu City, and inserted the fire pins into the long tube, detonating the divine thunder and gunpowder inside. The dazzling fireworks suddenly thrust and burned all the moments in front of them.
One single-headed giant trees were raised, and then the Qiang soldiers and Yizong pulled them back with ropes, and soon they hit the battlements. The branches that could be stepped on were inserted on both sides, killing cattle in the shouts. The Qiang soldiers of the White Horse tribe waved various weapons, braved the rain of arrows and threw stones to climb up with the same species of Yeli and Zergs, rolling behind the city walls, fighting bloody battles.
The Tang soldiers who were siege behind the city were leisurely arranged, lined up in an orderly manner, stepped through the filled moat, stepped through the burned wooden fence gap, and began to gather under the city, and came with three huge well railings...
