At the beginning, Yang Huaiyu kept bombarding the city with artillery to destroy the city, but because of the attack from both sides, every time the artillery on this side moved, the stones on the other side would be smashed over.To put it bluntly, the range of the artillery is not enough.Wang Xiao looked at the other side for a long time, and said to Yang Huaiyu: "No, I will launch a surprise attack tonight and destroy those high walls with explosives!"
”Yang Huaiyu nodded, this is no way, since you want to go out of the city, you have to plan well and expand the results as much as possible.By evening, the first wall had been completely destroyed by artillery, and there was rubble and dead bodies everywhere.The northern sky darkened quickly, and when the last light on the horizon disappeared, the gates of the new city opened.Wang Xiao rushed out of the city with 3,000 foot soldiers, carrying a large amount of gunpowder to cover the auxiliary city opposite.At night, the auxiliary city is still brightly lit, and this is the best time for the people to build the city wall, and there are many people on the city wall, and there are endless exchanges.In order to quickly raise the city wall, the soldiers of the Liao State also participated.As soon as the gate of the new city was opened, the Liao scouts outside the city issued a warning warning, and one after another rushed into the air with a sharp sound.The cavalry on both sides of the auxiliary city had already urged the horses.Wang Xiao marched on the dirt road full of rubble with his foot soldiers, unconcerned about the cavalry outflanked on both sides, he knew that Yang Huaiyu at the head of the city would help him stop these enemies.Sure enough, when the cavalry of the Liao State surrounded Wang Xiaohe from both ends of the auxiliary city, the artillery and crossbows on the head of the city took the lead, and the dense cannonballs and arrow rain blocked the way for the Liao cavalry on both sides to advance.These powerful cannons easily penetrated the armor of the Liao cavalry, killing them at the foot of the auxiliary city.The gate in the middle of the auxiliary city was also opened, and a large number of soldiers in armor poured out, leaping between the ruins of the city wall with swords in one hand and shields in the other.The muskets at the head of the city began to cover these people, however, few of the enemies were wounded by the muskets, because they knew how to use corpses as cover, so that the Great Song soldiers on the city walls could not distinguish which were real people and which were corpses.The shell hit them, and the soldiers flew into the sky, and when they fell again, they were already out of breath."
For Your Majesty's ......"
After the remaining soldiers approached Wang Xiao, they discarded the shield in their hands and rushed towards Wang Xiao with a shout.Wang Xiao is no stranger to these elite soldiers, when the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty fought with them in the past, these people were death-like existences.They attack in the front, retreat in the rear, and are extremely brave.Such an enemy is not something that the Great Song Army can deal with.Wang Xiao stuffed a whistle into his mouth and blew it vigorously, and after the sharp whistle sounded, the Great Song soldiers at the front lit the gunpowder bag in their hands and threw it towards the city wall.Wang Xiao quickly pounced, the whole person shrank into a ball, there were too many explosives, if he didn't do this, even if he wasn't affected by the explosives, he would be shocked to death.The power of the explosive pack was much greater than that of the cannonball, and as soon as it landed, it exploded, and the dark red fireball suddenly expanded outward, and then quickly disappeared, and there was no longer a Liao soldier to be seen around the fireball.After the dense explosion, Wang Xiao shook his head and shook off the stone chips and limb residues on his body, and took an explosive bag from his own soldier and rushed forward with it.After breaking through the first wall, the Liao people's feathered arrows began to fall, at first there were only a few, but they quickly turned into a storm.The armor of the Great Song Dynasty from the Hami Kingdom played a role at this time, and the inferior iron arrows of the Liao people hit the armor, and they fell to the ground without even much shock."
Spread out, spread out, don't get together!"
Wang Xiao's infantry fans spread out, and under the leadership of their respective teams, they advanced towards the auxiliary city.A shining knife suddenly appeared from Wang Xiao's side, slashed at Wang Xiao's arm, Wang Xiao staggered up with a snort, and then turned around and slashed at the Liao soldier who had lost an arm.The knife just now seemed to have exhausted all the strength of the Liao State, and he had already been blown up by the explosives with only one breath left.His knife was flicked away by the armor, and he was no longer able to make any movement, watching Wang Xiao's scimitar slash into his neck.The arrows of the Liao State could not stop this group of the most elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty at all, and in the city gate, the soldiers of the Liao State continued to emerge outward.Under the leadership of Wang Xiao, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, who did not have gunpowder bags on their bodies, bravely met them, and the sound of swords and armor, and the sounds of wailing and fighting rose one after another on this battlefield.A fierce Song soldier took a deep breath and threw a huge explosive bag with the help of the rope in his hand, and the shining sparks on the lead line fell accurately at the city gate after crossing an arc.With a loud bang, the Liao people crowded at the city gate were immediately torn apart by the powerful shock wave, and a vacant land suddenly appeared at the crowded city gate.The soldiers who followed Wang Xiao took the opportunity to rush up and threw the gunpowder bag in their hands at the gate of the city, and the archers standing on the auxiliary city saw this scene, and all fled frantically along the newly built city wall to both sides.Seven or eight explosive packets that had already ignited the fuse flew towards the explosive packets piled up at the city gate, and after Wang Xiao pulled the knife out of his opponent's body, he turned around and fled without hesitation.What kind of scene is the detonation of thousands of explosives packets together, Wang Xiao has never seen it, and he can't imagine it, but he knows that the farther away from that place, the better, otherwise, it is impossible to say whether the corpse can be left or not.He blew the whistle desperately as he ran, and not only him, but all the lieutenants and team members were doing the same thing.After hearing these hurried whistles, all the Great Song soldiers did not dare to stay any longer, and immediately pulled out their legs and ran, even if a piece of flesh was cut off by the enemy because of the turn, they had to stay away from this terrible place.A Liao man with red eyes and lost his mind, picked up a burning explosive bag from the city gate and wanted to catch up with this group of Song Dynasty soldiers and die with them.Unfortunately, in the next second, his ears were violently filled with wind, and then he found that his body flew up, and then became torn apart......
Not only him, but he even saw many people like him, who could still make all kinds of expressions even though their heads had lost their bodies.Wang Xiao and the lieutenant general, who remained at the end, also flew, but they didn't fly far before they fell on the rough ground full of stones, and their heads hit a stone so hard that he almost thought he was going to pass like this.Even Yang Huaiyu took a long time to hear a little sound, drained the rubble on his body, and carefully poked his head out of the city wall.It was pitch black on the other side, and everything could be seen, except for a lot of fires burning, and dead bodies and rubble all over the ground.Wang Xiao was carried back, and he couldn't hear anything until now, as if the whole world was buzzing."
The safety distance stipulated for the camp is not enough, and it will take more than 100 steps to pull away."
After Wang Xiao saw Yang Huaiyu, he immediately opened his mouth and said this, although he couldn't hear what he said on the second floor."
I know, I'll give the general instructions when I go back."
Yang Huaiyu patted Wang Xiao on the shoulder and asked the soldiers to carry him down to bandage and rest.It was night, the cold wind was howling, and there was no more noise.Not many of the enemies died in the explosion, but the soldiers and men who were burned were countless, and their whole bodies were charred and blackened, like groups of walking coals.Even the Liao State sergeants, who were accustomed to seeing life and death, couldn't help but let out a terrible scream in the face of such a group of living people who were almost acquainted.Some of them had skin hanging from their bodies like rags, swaying like dead bodies, but not dead yet.Zhang Fan, who was watching the battle from the head of the city, turned his head with his eyes closed, he didn't have the iron and stone will of Yang Huaiyu and other soldiers, not only the hands hidden under the big sleeves of the wide robe, but even his body was trembling slightly.It was a torment for him to continue to stay here, Yang Huaiyu waved his hand and said: "Mr. has worked hard for days, there is no more war tonight, you can go down and rest." ”Zhang Fan, supported by the two deputies, arched his hand towards Yang Huaiyu and hurried down the city wall.After getting off the city wall, Zhang Fan pushed away his deputy, squatted on the ground and retched for a while, he hadn't eaten anything today, so all he vomited was gastric juice.The two deputies didn't get any better, they could have held on, but seeing Zhang Fan's appearance, even if they wanted to be patient, they couldn't bear it anymore, and they bent over and vomited.Zhang Fan, who vomited, raised his head, his eyes were full of tears, and it took a long time to ease up.The deputy was surprised: "Why is the gentleman crying?"
”Zhang Fan wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Most of the dead are Hermes-Epitek, why can't I shed tears?"
”The two deputies glanced at each other, as if they wanted to say something, but were stopped by Zhang Fan.Zhang Fan shook his head and said: "I don't need to say more, I understand, it's just ......"
The words behind him couldn't go on, because there was a sound of stones breaking through the sky again, and the two lieutenants immediately grabbed Zhang Fan's arm and quickly drilled into the hiding hole behind the city wall.I saw a huge stone fall from the sky, smash on the ground with a bang, and then shatter into countless pieces.Several Great Song soldiers who couldn't dodge fell from the city, slammed into the ground, blood splattered everywhere, and they lost their breath without even snorting.The three of them leaned against the empty cave, feeling the vibration of the stones hitting the city wall, and the lieutenant general sighed, "It's going to start again." ”The three of them all knew that Xiao Honglu would not turn a blind eye to everything tonight, and would definitely attack.Although Yang Huaiyu sent the main army out, there were a lot of tools left in this new city to defend the city, and no matter which one was taken out, the Liao army would suffer a big loss, which was also the confidence that he dared to stay here.
