Chapter 241 The first day (1)(1/2)

Early the next morning, it started to rain slightly in the sky.

This also means the further arrival of late autumn.

There is very little rain in the north, especially in the northeast region. It will snow in winter, but there is almost no chance of heavy rain.

This little rain is far from enough to delay the attack of the Shiwei people.

Just after the hour of Mao, hundreds of catapults, siege cars, nest cars, cloud ladders, etc. slowly pushed towards Jinzhou City.

Behind these siege equipment, there were also the Shiwei coalition forces who were full and drunk.

Of course, most of the soldiers who rushed forward were from the major vassal tribes.

They are now all rewarded by entering the city, and the five million taels of silver are blindfolded, and they are determined to conquer Jinzhou City as soon as possible so as to get the greatest benefit.

As long as the first batch of attacks, even if it is just a small soldier, he can get more than 100 taels of silver.

For those sergeants who turned into poor herders, that would be an opportunity to become a rich man immediately and a chance to change their fate against the will of heaven!!

They are on the grassland, only afraid of poverty and not death.

In contrast, the Dakang soldiers who were already standing on the top of the city were full of solemnity and perseverance.

They knew that this might be the final countdown.

If there were no such great miracle, the Wei coalition forces outside would crush them, break into Jinzhou City, kill their relatives and friends, and steal their property.

But even if they die, they will have to bring a few more people to be buried with them.

Just as it was passed down, His Highness King De said on the city tower the day before yesterday, who is not afraid? But no one can retreat!

Because behind them is everything!

At least before they died, it was impossible for Shiwei beasts to cross the city wall.

When Liu Mingqi was encircling Ikeno Nobusuo in Zhejiang, she had seen more than 50,000 people fighting.

However, compared with the current one, the scale is still far inferior.

Seeing that the Shiwei coalition forces were like ants, constantly getting closer, Liu Mingqi felt that her breathing was a little tight.

But he didn't show it at all, but walked around the city tower, clapping his hands to encourage everyone.

"Brothers, don't worry, you can see the lethality of my Prince De's guards later! Today, the Shiwei people cannot stand on this side of the city tower!"

But many people should worry about it.

After all, this noble King De said nothing.

But they admire Liu Mingqi very much because the prince of the Empire was actually on the front line. As expected, what they said before was not empty talk.

Liu Mingqi was only wearing simple armor at this time and was not conspicuous, otherwise he would be the most eye-catching target.

Following Liu Mingqi all the time are Fan Shan and Suo Xuan.

There were five quiver pots on Fan Shan’s back, and ten quiver pots in the Tibetan Bing Cave, which was enough for him to use for a day.

However, even a sharpshooter like Fan Shan, the limit is to shoot about 200 arrows, and no matter how many, it will hurt the root cause.

Suo Xuan used two iron claws in melee combat, and it was very fierce when he was wearing it on his hands.

As for the pillar, he was wearing heavy armor and holding his big iron stick, and was sitting on the other side of the city tower.

On Liu Mingqi's side is Liu Mingjing, the most powerful among them.

This is also the guarantee for his safety.

Liu Mingjing, who is born with divine power and superb martial arts, is much stronger than Dazhu.

Of course, Liu Mingjing was also wearing armor, holding two snowflakes in his hand, looking ahead intently. A twenty-person assault team behind him was composed of the 100,000 Niu Guards exchanged by Miao Yan for Liu Mingqi, who were escorted the clan's children and Fang Xiaopang back to the capital, and now they came back with him, just for my use.

Liu Mingqi has watched too many TV shows and knows the role of this special team during the city defense.

Especially when a peerless general takes the lead, he knows clearly how much the special forces team will play.

Therefore, even if he has few people now, he has to match a special assault team to use it.

In addition, the twenty guards of the Dewang Mansion assigned here also occupied an area. Not only were there two boxes of open wooden grenades at their feet, but there were twenty or thirty wooden grenades tied up on their bodies.

They are already very skilled in using wooden grenades, and the time from taking out to throwing them will not exceed three seconds.

When the enemy's various engineering weapons were still two hundred steps away from the Jinzhou City wall, suddenly, huge rocks rose into the air, crossed the city wall where Liu Mingqi and others were, and smashed towards the enemy.

These huge rocks are at least hundreds of pounds. They will definitely be crushed to pieces when hitting people and horses. They will also be a big pit on the ground. If they jump, they will be even more fun.

The enemy never expected that at this time, the stone catapults in Jinzhou City could still be used, and there were more than one or two!

If you are too exhausted to defend, the first thing you suffer is the huge siege equipment.

When the rocks were smashed down, Liu Mingqi saw several catapult cars, siege cars, and the nest car was smashed and immediately broken and collapsed.

As for the soldiers who were lined up in large numbers, they were also crushed by huge rocks.

Many people were smashed into meat pies without saying a word.

As the rocks rolled, blood marks were crushed.

shocking!

However, Liu Mingqi was excited.

Naturally, the more enemies kill, the better. Any mercy on the battlefield is an idiotic act.

After the Shiwei coalition was attacked, they quickly reacted.

The experienced generals immediately gave up using this slow and pressing method to put pressure on the Dakang army, and instead ordered the Wei coalition forces in the room to advance quickly and avoid this dead area.

The catapult can adjust the distance and direction, but the amplitude is definitely not large.

The closer you can get to the city wall, the less likely it is to hurt people.

Similarly, the same is true for the Shiwei coalition.

However, their catapult carts are very rough, and there are very few city walls that can hit the first floor, let alone hit the higher second floor and the third floor.

However, the ladders, siege cars and nest cars of the Shiwei coalition were qualified.

Especially the nest car full of archers, shooting archers frantically near the city wall, covering the city wall again and again, causing great damage to the sergeants on the city wall.

Then the Shiwei coalition forces would take the opportunity to rush forward, which would bring great losses to the city wall defenders.

Fortunately, they did not feel anxious when they saw the war situation, and they just ignored all the battlefield, even if they killed all their own people, it didn't matter.

At that time, they relied on this move to repeatedly break through the battle zone of intertwined teeth and dealt a major blow to our army.

Of course, you say that bows and arrows can shoot one or two hundred meters, but the most powerful and the most accurate one is between eighty meters and one hundred meters, the closer the better.

Therefore, the nest car entered directly within a range of 100 meters and stopped about 80 meters away from the city wall.

You can understand the nest car as a high-rise platform, or it is directly the sentry post of the military camp in ancient dramas, with several huge wooden stakes underneath, and a room with windows removed above was full of archers, shooting towards the city tower from a high point.

If dozens or hundreds of nest cars were standing up like this, it would definitely be a huge blow to the defenders on the city walls.

When the Shiwei coalition attacked the three major cities of Jinzhou City, this trick caused heavy casualties to be killed and injured by the soldiers guarding the city.

Even today's Jinzhou City.

At the beginning, we could only use everyone's shooting, exchanging casualties for casualties.

Then when the enemy climbed up from the ladder, although the Shiwei coalition no longer shot arrows, the vicious soldiers were not easy to deal with.

If it weren't for the sufficient food and grass and various supplies, if it weren't for the border army that Liao Shicong had trained for many years, if it weren't for Zhang Tie and Xiaoqigu to take charge, if this wasn't the last retreat for most people, I would probably have been unable to hold on.

...

The same is true today. Although the catapults in Jinzhou City are throwing stones frantically, the area is so large and the distance is so far, and the accuracy is simply not good.

Except for their dense formations at the beginning, they now know how to disperse, and their power is nothing.

After the nest car was parked, the archers all showed their figures and were about to start suppressing the Dakang sergeant on the city tower.

Of course, the Dakang army on the city tower would not sit and wait for death. On the one hand, the crossbow chariots were aimed at the nest chariots, and on the other hand, their archers also launched the attack first.

At this time, the Wei coalition forces, who had already pounced on the wall, would not come up to attack, otherwise they would become targets for their own archers and would not be able to escape.

At the same time, the guards of the Dakang Army also found cover and did not participate in this bow and arrow duel.

This is the step in fighting on weekdays.

However, neither side of the warring party expected that there would be a disruptor today.

"Pushpeng..."

The catapults from both sides of the enemy and us kept smashing the ground and city walls.

From time to time, there are many stones that will hit the battlements of the city wall or directly hit the city wall passage.

But this probability is still very small. Except for a few unlucky people who can't dodge, most of them are fine.

The deterrent effect of catapults is greater.

The one with the most lethality is the nest car loaded with the sharpshooter.

As the nest car stopped, the twenty guards of the Dewang Mansion here saw the range and felt the distance for a while, then pulled the fuse of the wooden grenade and threw it straight towards the nest car.
To be continued...
