Mao Chenglu had experience in blasting city gates, and based on his relationship with Mao Wenlong, he took the initiative to take charge of the task of attacking the north gate; Guo Dajing was responsible for blasting the south gate, and Mao Yongshi's troops conducted a surprise attack.

It seems that Mao Wenlong did have the intention to praise Mao Yongshi, and this grandson should be worthy of being raised. Naturally, Mao Yongshi was "brave and good at fighting, and he was the first to get to the battle, and he was the first among the generals." He was also a guy who was willing to fight hard.

Mao Yongshi showed closeness and respect to Guo Dajing. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mao Wenlong admired Guo Dajing. As a Baihu, he served as the commander of the siege, which is evident.

If people respect me a foot, I will return a foot to others. For these people who will become traitors in history, Guo Dajing's mentality has stabilized, or he is used to it.

People change, who knows what will happen in the future? Since we are fighting side by side now, don't worry. If everyone is on guard, I'm afraid there won't be many people who can completely reassure Guo Dajing.

By exploding Longchuan, Guo Dajing became more experienced in black powder blasting, and reinforced the thick wooden box containing the powder to make it more powerful.

To blow up the city gate, Guo Dajing thought about it carefully and felt that it would be quite difficult unless the upper wall was tightly held against it. The scene of blowing up the bunker in the movie was still vivid in his mind. The explosives had to be so tightly attached, let alone black powder.

Unless it was closed, it was very difficult, and Guo Dajing temporarily gave up the idea.

If there are no artillery, we should actually build some stone cannons, that is, trebuchets. With mines, it is equivalent to exploding bombs, which can be thrown into the enemy group or onto the city wall, and the damage should be good.

Guo Dajing suppressed this thought for the time being, knowing that the road must be walked step by step and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.

"Generals." Guo Dajing pointed at the city gate and said, "The commando team is approaching. Based on my experience, it is certain to blow open the city gate. Don't wait for the explosion to pass and the smoke to clear, and then start charging and attacking. The enemy

If you are disturbed by the explosion, there will be a brief period of chaos, and you will take the opportunity to invade the city."

Infantry attacks in later generations were often accompanied by artillery fire. In fact, a barrage could be formed dozens of meters in front of the infantry, providing maximum cover.

It is definitely not up to this level now, but Guo Dajing still observed areas that could be improved from when he attacked Longchuan City.

After the explosion, smoke rose. The attacking troops waited and saw that the city gate was indeed blown open before launching a fierce attack.

Speaking of which, it may not take long, but Guo Dajing thinks it is completely unnecessary. This not only wastes time, but also gives the frightened enemy a chance to adjust.

After the explosion, not only will the enemies on top of the city be shocked and stunned for a short period of time, but the enemies behind the city gate will also be severely damaged. The earlier the attack starts, the greater the possibility of a breakthrough, and the more casualties can be reduced.

Guo Dajing glanced at the generals, feeling that they might need more specific instructions, while Mao Wenlong just smiled and listened, nodding at Guo Dajing to express encouragement.

"The enemy shoots arrows from a high position, and our army is usually a hundred steps away." Guo Dajing held a branch and simply scratched it on the ground to make it clearer. "I have reset the length of the fuse. As long as the soldiers responsible for lighting the siege demolition vehicle come out and fire

After receiving the signal, we can attack with all our strength. It is estimated that it will not explode until we are about forty or fifty steps away from the city."

After a pause, Guo Dajing raised his head and said: "At this distance, I am sure that the explosion will not hurt our troops."

"I understand." Mao Chenglu was experienced and nodded first and said: "With a distance of forty or fifty steps, you can rush into the city gate in a few breaths. And the enemy may be in panic and confusion, and those behind the city gate will also suffer greater casualties.

, it’s the easiest time to break in.”

Guo Dajing nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, that's what I mean. In fact, there are no new tricks, just some small adjustments in coordination and timing of attack."

"Okay, I will take the lead and rush in with my troops." Mao Yongshi said with a smile: "Guo Baihu is confident about blasting, and I have no doubts about it."

Guo Dajing smiled naively and turned to look at Mao Wenlong to see if the leader had anything to add.

Mao Wenlong coughed dryly and said: "If there is no problem, go down and prepare. After half an hour, listen to the signal from the south gate and attack Yizhou together."

The generals looked at each other, no one asked any more questions, they bowed and saluted, went back to the city gates they were responsible for attacking, and made busy preparations.

"It's good to observe carefully and find areas for improvement in every battle." Mao Wenlong praised Guo Dajing and said: "These generals have all grown up in battle. If you can keep improving, you will be faster than them.

"

Guo Dajing bowed and said: "Thanks to the commander-in-chief for your praise, I know that I don't have much experience, so I dare not study hard."

Mao Wenlong chuckled and said, "Go ahead and prepare well. I will watch you destroy the city at the south gate."

"Yes!" Guo Dajing saluted and turned around to leave.

A large army besieged the city, and the prisoners in the city had been informed and nervously went to the city to be on guard.

The soldiers came to Nima Chan's door, hesitated several times and stepped forward, but then retreated.

When he finally plucked up the courage, the door was suddenly opened. Nimachan's eyes were red and the smell of alcohol was coming from his mouth. However, he was fully clothed and pressed his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.

The soldiers hurriedly bowed and reported: "Sir, the enemy is surrounding the city on all sides, and our army is ready to defend."

Nima Chan turned around and strode out, shouting in a deep voice: "Go to the city and kill the enemy. Kill them all."

The soldiers responded and hurried to follow, feeling relieved in their hearts. The general was sitting in command and holding on to the city, so there was still hope.

Nima Chan was ready to die, but he did not die of oppression, but fought with blood and died like a warrior. He led a group of soldiers and galloped through the city. Under the lights and torches, the defenders saw him again

Commander, please cheer up.

By the time Nima Chan ascended to Nancheng, the Dongjiang Army's preparations for the attack had been completed and they were waiting for the signal for the general attack.

Guo Dajing not only prepared siege demolition vehicles, but also built two empty vehicles for his own benefit. The empty vehicles had small doors, and he could get in and shoot arrows through the shooting holes.

In this way, he would not have to worry about the hunting crossbow that was ahead of its time being discovered and causing suspicion. He could also use his strengths to kill a few more prisoners on the city.

You must know that the power and accuracy of the hunting crossbow is much stronger than that of Jianlu's bow. Even if Jianlu has the advantage of being superior, it is almost equal.

Guo Dajing hid in the car and approached the city gate with the suppression troops protected by large shields.

The sonorous footsteps, solemnity and murderous intent are rising steadily in the sound of war drums. After experiencing the Longchuan City Breaking Battle, the morale of the Dongjiang Army is high and they are full of confidence in the battle.

"Push to the front." Guo Dajing ordered loudly from inside the car. The soldiers hiding behind the car responded and continued to push forward until they were fifty or sixty steps away.

Nima Chan pointed his sword at the city gate tower and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"

Taking advantage of his commanding position, Jianlu took the lead in launching an attack, shooting clumps of arrows at the approaching enemy.

"Raise your shield!" The Dongjiang Army soldier raised his simple wooden shield to cover the incoming arrows.

Although being condescending increases the range, due to the angle, as long as you use a shield to block your upper body, you will be fully protected.

"Push forward!" Guo Dajing was not satisfied yet and asked the soldiers to push forward more than forty steps.

Through the shooting hole, Guo Dajing drew the arrow and aimed at the Jianlu on the city.

Generally speaking, when the two armies compete with arrows, they basically throw them to achieve the maximum range. But at this distance, Guo Dajing can shoot directly.

There were no artillery in the city, so he was very safe in the wooden cart. The arrow hit the roof of the cart and kept ringing, but it did not affect him after taking careful aim and gently pulling the trigger.

The crossbow arrows flew through the air and shot diagonally towards the city, revealing a prisoner holding a bow and shooting arrows at the entrance of the city battlements. He suddenly leaned back and half of an arrow cluster was exposed on his face.

"Fire arrows!" Following the officer's order, the archers of the Dongjiang Army began to fight back, and the siege demolition vehicle suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the city gate.

In Guo Dajing's eyes, only Jianlu was exposed on the city wall, and he continued to pull the string and move forward, aiming and shooting.

Killing one more Jianlu would reduce Paoze's casualties, which would be equivalent to saving the Liao people who still fought against the Jianlu despite hardships.

The arrows are like lightning, and every arrow never misses. Whether it kills or injures a captive, it will make a captive lose his fighting ability.

Screams rang out around Yiju City, and the Dongjiang Army attacked from all four gates. Coupled with the slope formed by the ruins, most of the captives were restrained.

This made it difficult for the Jianlu, who were already outnumbered, to take advantage of the inside line. Since they did not have many mobile troops, they could not take on the next one when they fell. They could only be used in the most dangerous places.

Facing the rapid approach of the siege engines, the soldiers on the city fired rockets and threw down rolling logs and rocks.

Ah! One of the Jianlu screamed when he was hit by an arrow. With a light move of his hand, the other Jianlu was unable to lift it up and the rolling log fell down.

A Jianlu who was holding a stone was hit by an arrow and fell down. The stone hit him and ended his life.

Guo Dajing quickly cocked his arrow and fired quickly at the enemy directly above the city gate. The archers of the Dongjiang Army also concentrated their fire and fired to cover the siege vehicles approaching the city gate.

Several brave soldiers held up their shields and rushed out from behind the vehicle, moving away the rolling logs and stones blocking the road, clearing the way for the siege vehicle to move forward.

Nima Chan stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, appeared from the battlement, took aim, and shot the arrow.

A Dongjiang Army soldier screamed in pain and fell down. The stone he had just lifted fell to the ground again. Another soldier rushed up and moved the stone away.

Whoosh, Nima Chan stepped out and shot another arrow.

Guo Dajing caught this guy in the scope, cocked the arrow, and based on his prediction, aimed at the place where Nima Chan might appear.

Nima Chan's figure appeared again. He clung to the battlements and was not too worried about the arrows thrown from the city.

However, a black arrow shot out quickly and seemed to collide with his exposed figure.

Nima Chan groaned in pain and took a step back. The arrow on his bow was shot out weakly, and half of the arrow cluster was exposed from his left shoulder to his chest.

Several soldiers rushed over, protected Nimachan with shields, and retreated to a safe place.

The siege demolition vehicle bumped and zigzagged, and finally rushed into the city gate. After a moment, several soldiers ran out quickly holding shields.

"Attack!" Mao Yongshi shouted loudly, holding a shield in his left arm and a knife in his right hand. He rushed out first, passed the suppressing troops, and rushed towards the city gate.

"Charge, kill!" Behind him, hundreds of elite soldiers shouted and rushed forward.

Arrows from above and below the city shuttled through the air, and both the enemy and ourselves used their full strength.

"Boom!" An explosion sounded from the north, like thunder roaring in the sky.

Not knowing whether he could blow open the city gate, Guo Dajing just flashed this thought, and then he was immersed in the hunting crossbow in his hand, shooting arrows at the enemies on the city.

"Boom!" The fire flashed violently, and amid the loud noise, thick black smoke erupted from the city gate, covering broken bricks, rocks, and debris, and the sound was terrifying.

The ground was shaking, but the charging commandos kept moving. Under the leadership of Mao Yongshi, they shouted more and more and sped up.

There was a loud roar and the city trembled, which had a great impact on the prisoners on the city. In shock and panic, the counterattack on the city was stopped.

It didn't take long, just a few dozen steps away, and when the prisoners on the city had recovered from their fright, the arrows from below were raining down on them again.

The smoke was slightly thinner, and the commando led by Mao Yongshi had already rushed into the city gate hole that looked like a monster's gaping mouth. He was stumbling under his feet, his vision was blurred, and the choking smell of saltpetre and sulfur was almost suffocating.

But these difficulties were only a distance of ten or twenty meters, and the smoke became thinner. Stepping on broken bricks and rubble, they rushed through the ruined city gate, and their eyes lit up.
