I’m The King Chapter 1353: : Han Banner World (43) 4 Fang Yundong (3)
The competition for the Tianjiaping Fortress has reached a fever pitch in a very short period of time. After all, Gou Xin is from a famous family and a family of generals. He made the most correct decision. , he understood the situation he was facing. If he allowed the opponent to fight like this, soon, the city wall he wanted to rely on would be completely crushed by the opponent, and it would also cause a serious blow to his soldiers. The only chance of victory was The most important thing is to fight with the opponent, making the opponent's most powerful weapon unable to exert its power. After sending a team of soldiers to try to kill the opponent's engineer and successfully attracting the opponent, he immediately abandoned the soldiers who left the city and closed the door tightly. At the city gate, he used bows and crossbows or catapults to throw crushed stone bullets to injure the enemy. Once the opponent flinched, he immediately sent soldiers to pursue him, thereby attracting the opponent back, and repeated such killings.
Although Jiang Fu has fought many battles, as a battalion commander, it is the first time that he has commanded such an operation. , Several consecutive shocks have suffered a big loss, and the loss is not small. But this also aroused the blood in Jiang Fu's bones.
Jiang Fu's eyes turned red when he saw that although his subordinates had killed all the Qin soldiers who had rushed out of the city, the covering shots on the city also made his subordinates lie down below the city.
"Three salvos, artillery. Guard platoon, follow me," he roared.
Amidst the roar of artillery, Jiang Fu, with a big knife in his hand, jumped out of the position and ran forward, with shells flying on his head, and Jiang Fu was running on the ground. Gravel splashed on the ground, another wall pile was smashed, and Jiang Fu had already rushed to the bottom of the city.
"Ladder!" he roared.
With a bang, a ladder stood up and leaned against the blasted gap in the wall. Jiang Fu put the knife in his mouth, and using both hands and feet, he quickly climbed up.
The two putters in the city held against the top of the ladder, and tried their best to push the ladder away. Arrows rained down on the soldiers below. At such a distance, even if they were wearing armor, they couldn't resist the arrow attack. Several soldiers were shot like hedgehogs. The blood soaked the armor and traveled all the way along the body. It flowed to the ground, but as long as there was still a breath, these soldiers would hold onto the ladder tightly with both hands. Use your own body weight to hang on the ladder so that the ladder will not be pushed away.
The second round of artillery shells fired, and the landing point was still at the same position just now. The ladder that was pushed away fell back with a bang, and the broken arms and stumps of soldiers of the Qin Army were flying on the top of the city. Jiang Fu had already climbed to the top of the wall. At the top of the ladder, his head protruded through the gap, which was the first sight. Dozens of Qin Jun were getting up from the ground, roaring and rushing to his position.
Jiang Fu himself was also caught by the explosion of the artillery just now. The shock made his brain buzzing, and his hands and feet were so weak for a moment. He struggled to climb up the city wall. He took out a grenade from his arms, lit the fuse with a pile of fire still burning beside him, and waited for a while. Pishou threw the grenade out.
There was a roar, and the dozen or so Qin soldiers who rushed forward to block the gap immediately fell into a pool of blood.
Tumbling from the wall to the inside, Jiang Fu finally regained some strength, roared, and threw his knife at Qin Jun in front of him. Behind him, one after another, the Han soldiers climbed up. Behind him, more than a dozen Han troops gathered in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that one part of the city wall was breached, Gou Xin couldn't help but turn pale with shock. As long as one point of the city wall is breached in attack and defense, if the leak is not quickly plugged, even a thousand-mile **** can collapse in an ant nest.
"Follow me and kill the Han dog." He roared loudly and rushed towards Jiang Fu's location. Behind him, hundreds of Qin soldiers rushed over shouting. They were all veterans and knew the priorities.
The third round of artillery started to fire again, but this time the impact point was tens of meters away from both sides of the city wall that had just been broken through. The son fell to the ground, and he turned his head with difficulty on the ground. The shell just now fell on the Qin soldiers behind him, causing huge damage. The spinning, scorching fireball took countless lives away in an instant.
The Qin army on the city was dumbfounded by such an attack. After a moment of stunned, more Han troops rushed up the city wall.
Jiang Fu turned his head, looked at the artillery positions that were still smoky, and praised loudly: "It's a **** thing. If this artillery shot goes wrong, I'm going to see King Yama. I'll give it to you later!" Please credit."
Getting up from the ground, the aftermath of the explosion still made him dizzy, but he still managed to charge towards the nearest Qin soldier.
"Kill!" Jiang Fu roared: "Brother Crab, let me see my brother avenge you!"
The city was slaughtered, and the city gate was blasted open by the Han army engineers. More Han soldiers poured in. Gou Xin looked at his fortress in despair. From the beginning of the war to the present, less than one At that moment, the Tianjiaping Fortress, which once seemed impregnable, was about to fall.
"General, hurry up, or you won't be able to leave!" His personal soldiers left Gou Xin in a daze.
The battle started in the early morning, and before noon, the battlefield had returned to calm. The Tianjiaping Fortress was already in disrepair. The soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, but Jiang Fu walked up to the cannon, stroked the still warm body, and murmured, "With you, fighting in the future will be very different."
The emergence of artillery has indeed made the city's offense and defense no longer a natural barrier.
In Lubin City, messengers rushed into Xu Yahua's general's office one after another. The Han army began to enter from this morning. At noon, the first bad news came, Tianjiaping Fortress fell, Tianjiaping If it is lost, Xiyangping and Huangshiping will certainly not be able to defend it. Sure enough, less than half an hour after Tianjiaping fell, the other two fortresses were also lost. After passing the war zone, he quickly rushed towards Lubin.
"Half a day, half a day, all three fortresses stationed by five thousand soldiers were lost." Xu Yahua propped his hands on the edge of the sand table, looked at the miniature model of the defense area of Lubin Fortress in front of him, and took it to Tianjiaping, After the three small towns of Xiyangping and Huangshiping, before the Lubin fortress area, there is no danger to defend.
"General Xu, the number of soldiers fleeing from the front line is increasing. At present, there are more than 1,500 soldiers gathered. The subordinates found the officers among them. They all mentioned that the Han army has a new type of weapon. In front of this weapon, it is simply irresistible, and a large piece will collapse when it explodes." Lieutenant General Qian Shouyi said worriedly.
"New weapon?" Xu Yahua turned his head. In recent years, he has been a little numb to the new things of the Han Dynasty, but the Qin army officers in the three places mentioned this weapon in unison, which is a bit unusual.
Qian Shouyi took out a few pieces of paper and put them in front of Xu Yahua, "According to the descriptions of those officers and some soldiers, my subordinates drew a rough outline of this thing. It must be powered by gunpowder." Yes, when it exploded, a lot of smoke was produced, and iron **** about ten catties were sent to the city, causing a lot of damage to our city walls and soldiers."
Looking at the things on the picture, Xu Yahua sighed slightly. "Are you in a hurry to Hangu Pass?"
"The courier set off early in the morning, and now the second wave is also gone. Unexpectedly, we would not be able to hold on for a day in Tianjiaping and other places." Qian Shouyi sighed, the worry in his eyes was extremely obvious However, although Lubin City is much taller and stronger than Tianjiaping and other fortresses built later, can it really be defended?
"It must be difficult to defend." Xu Yahua looked at the sand table, "The opponent has such a siege weapon. If we can't shrink back, we can only be beaten passively."
"What does the general mean?"
"The Han army must have never imagined that we are not busy strengthening the city wall and preparing for defense, but are going the other way and dispatching to seek field battles. Shouyi, you take 5,000 people to attack, and I will send all 2,000 cavalry in the headquarters For you, I must kill the opponent's prestige, the Han army is strong, but we Qin people are not easy to provoke, and only when we attack can we defend." Xu Yahua looked at Qian Shouyi with piercing eyes.
"The general will obey." Qian Shouyi responded loudly, turned around and strode out.
At Hangu Pass, several groups of messengers arrived almost one after the other. The first letter Lu Chao saw was that the Han army launched an attack, but the second letter was that Tianjiaping and other places fell, and the Lubin fortress area has been exposed. Before the attack surface of the Han army.
"It came so fast~IndoMTL.com~ Lu Chao lost his voice, Gao Yuan had not arrived in Jinyang for two days, and the Han army's attack had already begun, which caught Lu Chao by surprise.
If Lu Bin falls, Hangu Pass will face him head-on. This is what Lu Chao doesn't want to see, but if he wants reinforcements, his focus is not on this side right now. It is to start preparations intensively. If troops are deployed to Lubin at this time, the previous preparations will most likely be in vain.
Gao Yuan, what exactly do you want to do? Are you going to merge with me at Hangu Pass? Lu Chao took a deep breath. The reason why he dared to do this was because he was sure that Gao Yuan must have the idea of being a fisherman, and he wanted to use Gao Yuan's idea to draw chestnuts out of the fire, and out of the impossible. Fight for a chance.
But the speed of the attack and march launched by the Han army was too fast.
"General, Lu Bin has another envoy." A personal guard rushed in and shouted loudly.
"What? Could it be that Lu Bin also fell?" Lu Chao lost his voice.
"No, no, General Xu won the victory in Lubin and defeated the 3rd Division of the 20th Army of the Han Army. Now the Han Army has recovered." The guard shouted beamingly. (To be continued.)
