Chapter 111: The Battle of Jeju (2)


Shi Jin gave an order, and the drums roared.

The Battle of Jeju begins The first to attack was Liangshan's new catapults, more than 300 steps away from the city wall, with more than fifty catapults spread out in a row.

The hard rocks were sent up into the sky by wooden poles, and the hard rocks all over the sky fell from the sky and hit the city head.

When Zhang Shuye saw the Liangshan Army's catapults rolling out, he shouted loudly: "Escape, quickly hide in the Tibetan Soldier Cave" War makes people progress As you make progress in this world, others will also make progress.

It is impossible to watch being beaten without thinking about defense or counterattack.

The lethality of Liangshan's new catapult has become famous after several wars.

In order to deal with Liangshan's new catapult, the imperial court sent out agents and spent a lot of money to bribe some gunners from the Liangshan Firearms Battalion, and they soon understood the principle of the catapult.

This new type of catapult is not something difficult to imitate.

Many craftsmen and blacksmiths in the imperial court are developing imitations of the new type of catapult.

Although Jeju has not yet deployed new catapults, Zhang Shuye has come up with many defensive measures.

Zhang Shuye had long ago asked people to build many caves for hiding soldiers in the city wall.

When the artillery stones from Liangshan came, many Song troops hid in the caves for hiding soldiers.

Benefiting from the protection of the city wall, although the stones weighed hundreds of kilograms, they were unable to smash across the city wall.

The falling boulders smashed the stone walls of the city wall, but could not harm the soldiers in the Tibetan Soldier Cave.

When Zhang Shuye built the Tibetan Soldier Cave, he knew that although he could avoid falling rocks, it was equivalent to giving up the city wall to Liangshan's army.

In order to take advantage of the city wall, Zhang Shuye placed some Song soldiers on the top of the city.

During the catapult attack, they hid behind the parapet and stared closely at the movements of Liangshan's army outside the city.

Although these Song soldiers were hunched over and hiding behind the female wall, they could avoid some boulders.

But there were still some soldiers who failed to avoid the heavy stones and were smashed to death by the stones.

Looking at the officers and soldiers who were smashed to death, Zhang Shuye could only grit his teeth with hatred, but unfortunately he had nothing to do.

The court had no power to deal with this catapult.

It's like the Eight Oxen Crossbow, but unfortunately the imperial court was very strict with the generals and also with the local areas.

Except for a few cities that defended the Xixia and Liao Kingdoms, and Tokyo, other places couldn't equip the Eight Oxen Crossbow at all.

Looking at the fearful eyes of the officers and soldiers, Zhang Shuye, who was hiding in the Tibetan Soldier Cave, shouted loudly: "Those who run away from the battle and die in battle will be raised by the court at the expense of their families.

Everyone knows who I am, Zhang Shuye, and I said Do it” After hearing the assurance from the prefect Zhang Shuye, and thinking about Zhang Shuye's strict military management, the officers and soldiers hiding on the wall did not dare to escape even if they were afraid.

I could only grit my teeth and stare at the heavy rocks in the sky, hoping not to hit me or to avoid them.

The catapults smashed for nearly half an hour, destroying almost all the parapets on the city wall, and even the archery tower collapsed.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers on the top of the city were empty, Shi Jin immediately waved his hand and the drums sounded.

Except for the sixth corps and the Chinese army who stayed behind, the other three corps immediately raised their shields in front of their heads under the leadership of many leaders, and then quickly rushed towards the city wall in the form of skirmishers.

Some soldiers rushed forward carrying ladders, and many sword and shield soldiers escorted the archers with shields.

The accuracy of this catapult is too bad.

If you are not careful, you will accidentally injure your family.

Seeing that the soldiers of Liangshan Army were about to rush to the city, Shi Jin ordered the catapult to stop throwing.

On the city wall, those officers and soldiers who risked their lives to stay at the top of the city saw Liang Shan and rushed to the bottom of the city.

They hurriedly shouted: "The thieves are rushing over!"

Zhang Shuye, the prefect of Jeju, heard this and hurriedly called the Song soldiers hiding in the Tibetan Soldier Cave to come to the top of the city.

When the Song soldiers just ran to the top of the city, the bow and arrow battalion led by Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun immediately began to suppress them.

Hua Rong waved his hand and said, "Fire the arrow."

"Open the bow and release it," several members of the bow and arrow camp shouted in a drawn-out tone.

Under Dutou's scolding, the archers bent their bows and nocked arrows, and shot sharp arrowheads at the officers and soldiers at the top of the city.

The drums sounded, the orders were given, and the bows and arrows were shot.

With such a rhythm, in a short period of time, five or six rounds of arrow rain had been shot.

The sharp arrows suddenly cut through an arc like a heavy rain with the scream of death, falling rapidly from the sky.

With the strong inertia of falling from high altitude, the sharp arrows easily shot through the Song soldiers at the top of the city.

Many Song soldiers who had just reached the top of the city suddenly screamed like dumplings and fell down from the top of the city.

On the city wall, Zhang Shuye, the prefect of Jeju, saw it and shouted loudly, "Fire arrows, quickly fire arrows to counterattack them."

When the archers among the officers and soldiers heard the order, they hurriedly drew their bowstrings and shot sharp arrowheads from the top of the wall towards the bow and arrow camp in Liangshan.

Seeing the Song Army's archers on the top of the city begin to fight back, the Liangshan Army's archers, under the cover of shield soldiers, fired back at the archers on the top of the city.

The Song Army's archers occupied the terrain, and the Liangshan Army's bows and arrows were well-trained.

For a time, both sides were unable to kill each other.

They could only grit their teeth and hold on to see who could no longer hold on.

With the support of archers, the arrow rain from Liangshan Saber and Shield Soldiers will be much less.

The Liangshan sergeants took the opportunity to run under the city wall, put down the ladder they were carrying, and put it on the city wall.

Under the leadership of the little boss, the Liangshan Army began to climb the rock to reach the top of the city.

Before they climbed halfway, the rocks on the top of the city rolled down.

Fortunately, his brain exploded and he died on the spot.

Unfortunately, his arms and legs were broken, and he wailed before his death under the city wall, which was horrifying to hear.

He was about to climb to the city wall, but Song Jun used bamboo pipes and iron guns to push the ladder away.

The soldiers on the ladder screamed and fell to the ground from a high altitude and turned into meat pie.

Seeing this cruel scene, a dozen recruits turned around and ran away because they couldn't stand the bloody scene.

The recruits had just taken a few steps to escape when they were killed on the spot by the law enforcement soldiers behind them.

The law enforcement soldiers carried the heads of the deserters and shouted loudly in front of the battle, "Those who shrink from the battle will be killed."

The newly beheaded head was dripping with blood.

Faced with the bloody lesson, some recruits of the Liangshan Army were deeply impressed by the harsh military law of the Liangshan Army.

They saw that if they retreated, they would die, but if they moved forward, there would be a chance of survival, so they could only bear to rush forward.

Seeing the tragic death of the Liangshan Army soldiers, Shi Jin's face remained indifferent, but his heart was filled with heart-wrenching pain.

Shi Jin bit his lip, and the horse rope he was pulling with his left hand was too hard and had several bloody marks.

Shi Jin resisted and did not order the money to be withdrawn.

Compassion does not command troops Because mercy is never needed on the battlefield, because mercy will only make the casualties more tragic.

Some soldiers sacrificed so that more soldiers could survive and achieve final victory.

And there is only one way to make more people survive, defeat the enemy and win.

No matter how much he couldn't bear it, Shi Jin still looked at the battlefield.

He is the coach, he needs to calmly observe the situation and find the enemy's weaknesses.

In the past, the capture of Qingzhou City relied on sneak attacks, with few casualties.

This time it was indeed a real siege.

Since then, siege has been the most difficult and the most deadly battle.

The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the second is to attack the city.

The method of attacking the city is the last resort.

If he had powerful artillery, Shi Jin would definitely not use the ant attack method to directly knock down the city wall.

Unfortunately not.

When the Yangshan Army attacks Jeju City, the imperial court will not sit idly by and ignore it.

Jeju must be captured before reinforcements arrive, otherwise it will be more difficult to capture Jeju once reinforcements arrive.

Under the city wall, densely packed soldiers of the Liangshan Army were climbing up the city.

Behind them were groups of soldiers ready to replenish their troops at any time.

Big rocks, boiling oil, gold juice, etc. were raining down from the city wall.

From time to time, soldiers of the Liangshan Army screamed and fell to their death from the city or ladders, and in a blink of an eye they were drowned by the soldiers behind them.

Boom, boom, boom, dozens of strong men pushing a huge ram were hitting the city gate, but the ram didn't make a single impact.

"boom" The hammer hit the city gate like a huge hammer, making a deafening sound, and the city gate and the city wall were shaking.

On both sides of the city gate, two or three rams had been burned by the Song army defending the city with oil and fire, and were being pushed aside by the Liangshan army.

Under the fierce offensive of the Yangshan Army, Jeju City was as dangerous as a small boat in the sea, and could be overturned by the huge waves of the Yangshan Army at any time.
