Chapter 781: Siege


The night is like ink, and the stars and moon are dark. otbnkotgt The needles in the camp of the Han King Army could be heard, and the soldiers looked at the dozen or so heads on the ground blankly, still like in a dream, these are all indescribably expensive lords, His Royal Highness the King of Han actually said that they would be cut down Until King Han's voice sounded again, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

"A soldier bears, a litter of bears, this king must not let these incompetent people bring the invincible lion of this king into a bear" "You guys, we have no way out, the lonely prince can only live one, break through Zhenjiang City, and we will share the wealth in the future" King Han paused for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "If we can't take Zhenjiang City, we can only die" The words of the King of Han were like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of all the soldiers, and they had fully understood that this victory or defeat was related to the life and death of everyone "Tomorrow, this king will personally command the siege" King Han roared in the loudest voice: "You must fight to the death" The tidal sound of "death battle", "death battle" and "death war" sounded again, and even alarmed the head of Zhenjiang City in the distance.

King Han nodded with satisfaction, and accompanied by his confidant generals, he returned to the Zhongjun tent.

In the Chinese military tent, Li Maofang, Zhu Zhanqi, Wang Bin, Zhu Heng, Wei Hu, Wei Hong, Wei Xing, Wang Yu, Li Zhi and other generals lined up, looking at His Royal Highness the King of Han sitting behind the big case without moving.

"Tomorrow's battle, your respective positions are clear" Zhu Gaoxu's gaze swept over the generals, and everyone he had seen straightened his chest desperately and nodded vigorously.

I heard him say in a deep voice: "There is no main direction of attack, all directions must be attacked with all their might, and there is no time to collect troops, if you don't capture Zhenjiang for a while, you will have to fight day and day until the city is broken, do you hear?"

"Obey" the generals responded in unison.

"Let's go and prepare" Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: "Eat at the end of the day, and attack at dawn" "Yes" The generals once again commanded in unison, and then turned to leave, leaving only Wang Bin, the most trusted general of Zhu Gaoxu.

"Hey" There was only Wang Bin in front of him, and Zhu Gaoxu finally showed his true mood, which was a look of anxiety and confusion.

"The prince doesn't have to be like this, let's let those pustules take the lead," Wang Bin comforted softly: "Don't you just want them to make a fool of themselves, so that they can take the opportunity to take over the military power?"

"I'm not worried about this," Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and sighed.

"That's the north," Wang Bin whispered.

"Yes."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and sighed: "My father will kill me."

"Isn't it properly arranged" Wang Bin's voice was uncheckable: "The emperor should die immediately?"

"Hmm."

Zhu Gaochu nodded expressionlessly: "Originally, I wanted to wait for my father to die and start again, but in that case, it would give Zhu Gaochi a chance to prepare, so we launched it in advance."

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and said: "Now the boss is difficult to fly, but Beijing doesn't know."

"As long as they launch at the agreed time, the emperor will not know the situation in Nanjing, and if they are defenseless, they will definitely succeed in one fell swoop."

Wang Bin is the king of Han, and he also cheered for himself and said: "That's a must-kill game."

"Yes.

It's just that if there is no obituary for a day, this king will not be at peace for a day.

Zhu Gaoxu rubbed his face vigorously as he spoke, leaving his fear behind him and said: "No matter if you go all out to take Zhenjiang and kill the boss, half of the country is in hand, what else is there to fear?"

"What the prince said is so right" Wang Bin said in a deep voice: "Let's take Zhenjiang, we will be invincible, even if the emperor is still alive, we have to sit down and talk with the prince."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded slowly, his face was finally full of sorrow, revealing a look of hesitation.

When the day finally dawned, the defenders at the head of the city were horrified by the horror they would never forget.

I saw that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city were jointly camped for dozens of miles, and the water surrounding Zhenjiang City could not be drained.

Countless warships also appeared on the river.

When the sun rises, the armor and weapons of the soldiers shine with dazzling light, and the fluttering flags and sails on the river form a circle of breathless dark clouds, enveloping Zhenjiang City in all directions.

Such a scene has never been seen even by war-torn veterans, and just looking at it is enough to make people lose their fighting spirit The prelude to this battle was played by the naval fleet on the river, and the cannons on the warships took turns, and the cannonballs whistled and smashed into the city, exploding above the heads of the prince's officers and men, and smashing the city-defending equipment that they had easily put together overnight There was no transition after the prelude, the cannon sounded, and the general attack began, and the overwhelming Han Wang army, carrying siege equipment, rushed to Zhenjiang City from all the directions that could be attacked.

Standing in the city, it looks like a tide is rolling towards the city wall When the besieging troops rushed within range of their bows and arrows, a sharp whistle sounded at the head of the city, and countless archers came out from all over the city, drew their bows and arrows, and shot the first arrow as fast as they could.

They didn't aim at all, because the enemy forces under the city were too dense without needing to aim at them Bows and arrows rained down, and countless officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty fell in response, but like the waves in the tide, they did not weaken the momentum of the tide at all The officers and soldiers of the Han King raised their shields, blocked them overhead, and continued to push the siege equipment forward.

When the chariot was in place, the archers of the Han army climbed up, and the soldiers below shook the turntable desperately to raise the chariot to the same height as the city wall, and the archers of the Han army launched a counterattack at the first time The archers of the city did not care about themselves at all, and their task was to destroy the enemies under the city.

As for the archers on the building car, it was the target of the bed crossbow in the city, and several crossbowmen turned the crossbow to the building car outside the city, desperately shook the winch, wound the strong crossbow on the crossbow, and then slammed it hard, smashed open the machine bracket, and a hammer-headed strong crossbow with a thick arm roared out, and crashed into the carriage of the building car in the blink of an eye, and the carriage disintegrated violently under the violent impact, and the archers on the carriage fell to the ground with screams But this is just a tidbit of the battlefield, the tide of offensive has reached the city, the rolling stone wood at the head of the city has also poured down, the losses of the Han army's army have skyrocketed, and countless officers and soldiers have been crushed into meat cakes by the rolling stone and wood. and the boiling oil poured down from above, each basin would make a dozen officers and soldiers roll on the ground screaming However, the Han army was unusually fearless of death, ignoring the sacrifice, they were red-eyed and roaring, and set up a ladder on the city wall, as well as those more advanced siege vehicles, which were also in place one after another, and these siege vehicles were equipped with a staircase that allowed their soldiers to run up the city along the stairs.

And the protection is perfect, not only can it protect the soldiers besieging the city, but it is not afraid of fire, it is much more powerful than the ladder.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty focused on the development of cavalry, and the number of such equipment was very small, otherwise hundreds of siege vehicles were pressed on the city at the same time, and this battle would not be able to be fought at all But it was these dozens of siege vehicles that had already put a lot of pressure on the defenders.

Those Han Wangjun who climbed from the ladder didn't go up yet.

The officers and soldiers on the siege vehicle were already fighting fiercely with the defenders at the head of the city The defenders naturally knew that these siege vehicles were the biggest threat, and they invested the greatest number of troops, desperately preventing the enemy from landing on the city, so where the siege vehicles were located, they all became flesh and blood Shura fields, and wave after wave of siege soldiers rushed up, and wave after wave of defenders were killed in one place, both sides did not give an inch, and in the blink of an eye, blood flowed like a river When the Han army on the ladder also climbed the top of the city, the battle began in every inch of the city wall, and those Han army fought like crazy, slashing with knives, kicking with feet, biting with teeth, fighting for their lives and attacking frantically The soldiers of the prince's army were obviously paralyzed by yesterday's victory, thinking that the Han army was nothing more than that, so when facing their crazy attack, the situation was very passive, and they lost a section of the western city wall in less than half an hour after the battle This made Mo Wen, who had a general view of the overall situation, extremely shocked, he never underestimated the enemy, but he still underestimated Zhu Gaoxu, he didn't expect Zhu Gaochu to reunite the scattered military spirit overnight, and bring out the most ferocious side of the Han Wang Army, and at the first moment of the battle, he exerted the greatest attack power There is no need to deny that compared to His Royal Highness the King of Han, who descended from the god of war, he was still too tender Mo Wen sighed secretly in his heart.

But the next moment, his ice-like face was full of excitement, as a natural general, born in peace, it is rare to encounter a big war, which is the greatest sorrow At this moment, the strongest enemy, the most brutal battlefield is in front of him, and he no longer has to lament that he was born at the wrong time Come on, His Royal Highness the King of Han Mo Wen felt that his blood was about to boil, he waved his hand violently, and the flag officer beside him raised a red flag and waved it twice in the air.

After receiving the order, a battalion of officers and soldiers hiding under the city wall immediately climbed to the city head under the guidance of the red flag, and a moment later, the gunfire on the city head was loud, and the Han army that had just captured the city head was shot and fell to the ground like cutting wheat, and the dense bullets hit the siege vehicle sawdust everywhere, and forcibly blocked the flood of the Han army's attack.

The prince's army took advantage of the situation to regain that section of the wall The dense gunfire also attracted the attention of the Han King under the city.

Wang Bin on the side said strangely: "Didn't the Shenji Battalion go to Beijing with the emperor?"

"Ji Gang said that the Beizhen Fusi and the avant-garde of the government army are secretly building firearms," King Han frowned and said, "I didn't expect that it had already formed a scale." ” "It doesn't matter," Wang Bin said, "They have guns, we have guns." ” "Yes, a few broken guns are useless, you still have to rely on real knives and guns to fight" Han Wang laughed and said: "Over there, Zhu Heng is commanding the bar and telling him that he can't take back the city wall before noon, so come to see me" "Yes," Wang Bin replied in a deep voice
