Chapter 519 Rushing to the city and crossing the bridge

"The enemy is rushing into the city! The enemy is rushing into the city!"

The hoarse roar resounded through the Sheep and Horse Wall. Although they had decided to abandon the Sheep and Horse Wall, it did not mean that they would allow the enemy to easily attack the city wall. Although the fortifications on the horse road had been destroyed, the long-range defenses under the city wall The war gear still exists.

Just at this moment, Xiao Hu and Brother Zhang arrived at the Yangma City among a group of crossbowmen who had withdrawn from the Yangma Wall, and what was in front of them was a battle array.

In fact, there were war tents on the sheep and horse walls, and even bed crossbows, but the artillery bombardment from outside the city was too strong, so they could not aim at the enemy camp on the horse road and shoot. Of course, more importantly, Not enough range.

But now that the enemy has launched a charge, they must take advantage of the shortened distance to use their trench coats to fight back, and try to inflict as many casualties on them before they reach the sheep and horse wall.

In addition, the abandonment of the Sheep-Horse Wall was not an accident, but a preparation on the summit from the very beginning.

The purpose of all the deployment of troops and horses surrounding Nanze City this time is not just to defend Nanze and prevent any enemy troops from entering the city.

It was a tactic of luring the enemy, using the terrifying defense power of this giant city to kill the rebels bit by bit.

After all, the rebels have only one purpose, which is to invade Nanze. Today's Nanze is a series of checkpoints, and every time you break into a level, you have to pay a huge price.

Although the rebel artillery is fierce, the sheep and horse wall can already block it from the outside. Even if they break through the sheep and horse wall and enter the city, they will have to face attacks from all directions, up and down.

But naturally they will not be allowed to rush into the sheep and horse wall easily. At this moment, the soldiers in front of the battle have begun to pull the ropes, and the prepared stones have been placed in the shells.

"Quick! Follow us! Let's go to the corner tower and leave it to them here!"

The leader shouted loudly, and the crossbowmen who had withdrawn from the Yangma Wall followed him and ran into the Yangma City. The city was already lit with torches, illuminating the inside brightly.

Xiao Hu breathed heavily, turned his head and glanced at Brother Zhang who was not far behind him, then turned his head to look ahead, and ran into the Waiweng City with the other crossbowmen.

Wai Weng City is extremely wide and can accommodate seven or eight thousand people, but it is empty at this time. Xiao Hu knew that this place was to be reserved for the enemy. If they entered Wai Weng City with a large number of casualties, then they would Will become a turtle in a urn.

"Quick! Keep up! Keep up!"

With a lot of urging, Xiao Hu passed the gate behind Waiweng City. After everyone passed through, there was a loud "boom".

The iron gate made of fine iron fell with a crash, shaking the ground and sending up a circle of smoke.

On the way to the turret, in the dim corridor, Xiao Hu slowed down his pace. After arriving here, he felt much relieved. At least the sound of cannons outside was much smaller.

"Brother Zhang, are you okay? The cannonball earlier seemed quite powerful." Xiao Hu asked immediately when Brother Zhang came over from behind.

"It's okay, the cannonball was blocked by the shield." Brother Zhang coughed lightly and waved his hand.

Then he continued: "Let's go up to the turret. Let's see when the rebels can enter the Yangma City."

"If they charge into Yangma City tonight, we may have to fight all night."

Xiao Hu frowned and nodded: "Well, only after we enter Yangma City will we have a chance to fight back."

"They killed so many of us on the wall in vain because they had artillery. When they rush into the city, we must give them a taste of our power!"

Brother Zhang raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and said in a nonchalant manner: "If they don't have artillery, I'm afraid they also have other weapons."

"Don't take it so easy."

As soon as he said this, there were bursts of roaring sounds outside. The roaring sound was not like cannonballs. Xiao Hu guessed that it should be the war weapons throwing stones.

Sure enough, when Xiao Hu climbed up the stairs and came to the turret with others, he saw that stones were being fired below.

In the night, stones rose up one after another. They crossed the sheep and horse wall and headed out of the city in random directions.

It is difficult to aim the war tent when it is used, let alone at night, but even so, it is still necessary to project all the war tent stones as much as possible.

Outside the city, Qin Ze had previously seen that the city defense facilities on the Sheep and Horse Wall were almost destroyed, so he ordered the chariot battalion to start advancing.

Of course, during this period, there were still many artillery pieces that had not moved, and the gunners were still firing with them in order to suppress the counterattack on the Sheep and Horse Walls. .

In this way, while suppressing the sheep and horses wall, the chariot battalion moved forward.

But immediately after, rocks suddenly fell in the dark night sky, and the advancing chariot battalion was immediately blocked.

The churro was strong enough to allow soldiers to hide in it to avoid long-range damage, but the heavy rocks that fell from the sky still overwhelmed the churro.

"Boom boom boom!"

Under this round of stones, several trampolines were hit. The trampolines hit by the stones were like dented iron boxes. The soldiers inside suffered fractures and serious injuries. He died in the car at that time.

However, the accuracy of the battlefield weapon is completely inferior to long-range weapons such as crossbows and artillery. In this dark sky, the hit rate of the battlefield weapon depends purely on luck.

Unless a large number of war tents are used and fired in large quantities at the same time, they will burst out with considerable lethality. In other cases, the low hit rate and rapid consumption of war tents make it difficult to use them.

As for Yan Jun, from the moment he decided to charge, in addition to the chariot battalion, a small group of lightly armed cavalry took the lead in launching the assault!

It's not a heavy cavalry, but a cavalry that moves faster!

On the battlefield, the artillery behind them was roaring, and rocks were falling from the sky. These hundreds of cavalrymen rode fast horses and ran toward the moat like lightning!

During this period, many people were hit by stones, but the others turned a blind eye and continued to move forward without fear of death. After a while, the dozens of riders at the forefront finally successfully reached the moat.

Without enough time to stop the horse slowly, the cavalrymen suddenly pulled the reins, and then jumped off the horse quickly.

"Whoosh-"

The sound of violent breathing sounded at this moment, and the cavalry did not hesitate at all. Like ghosts in the dark night, they jumped directly into the extremely wide moat!

"Thump thump!"

Amid a series of sounds of people falling into the water, their heads emerged from the dark and gloomy river. Looking at the seven or eight meter high earthen wall, they began their next action.

Behind them, a chariot battalion composed of chariots began to advance forward in a zigzag pattern.
