The sound of the trumpet is melancholy, sad and solemn. This scene is like a strong man having his wrist cut off, and a beauty being stabbed in the face.
Accompanying the death order issued by Linghu Chao, several catapults and ballistae were pushed out by groups of dead soldiers and squeaked towards Suiyang City.
The rebel soldiers pushed the trebuchets to make a loud rumbling noise. Different from the exquisite trebuchets of the Tang army, these trebuchets were large siege weapons. The arm was more than three feet long, and a huge stone was placed in the cowhide in the back pocket. Dozens of rebel soldiers yanked the hemp rope in front, and used the principle of leverage to bounce the stone machine high and shoot out the stone. These trebuchets have an extremely long range, reaching a range of six to seven hundred steps, so Linghu Chao has no worries about whether he can capture the seemingly solid Suiyang City in front of him. No matter how sturdy the building is, it will look like a bunch of earthworms in front of a giant catapult. The huge rocks will smash any obstacles in front of it to pieces!
The giant catapult was like a savage beast, projecting huge rocks with huge force, causing a burst of flying sand and rocks to rise in an instant. Dozens of boulders came over the air, and some of the Tang troops behind the crenels were unable to escape and were smashed into meat pies. They died without even uttering a scream.
Life seems so fragile in front of the catapult. There is no difference between the invincible generals in the past and ordinary soldiers at this moment. They will all be smashed into meat pies by huge rocks in an instant, they will all face death at close range, they will all cry bitterly, and they will all be afraid.
Lei Wanchun's eyes turned red and he roared loudly, "Get down, get down for me! Protect your body with the walls, put your hands on your head and don't go out!" Although the entrance to the crenellations is dangerous, it can form a blind spot. As long as the terrain is used rationally, everyone can still reasonably avoid risks.
At present, the life of every soldier in Suiyang City is extremely precious. Although Mr. Zhang Xun Zhang instigated the rebellion of the rebel general Li Huaizhong in time, and nearly a thousand soldiers were added to Suiyang City in time, if the rebel general launched an attack on the four city gates at the same time, he would still be unable to defend it.
These children were originally at a good age to study, but they were forced to defend the city by themselves. Even if he couldn't guarantee them that Suiyang City would be able to defend it, he couldn't just watch them die unexpectedly due to lack of combat knowledge.
Everyone¡¯s life is noble. Even if you are facing a desperate situation, you cannot give up easily!
"Get down!" A middle-aged man who looked like a soldier rushed over, pushed a recruit down and shouted. These new recruits had no idea of ??the danger, and they still stood stupidly at the crenel.
The force of these catapults is extremely overbearing, and the huge stones they project are all the size of millstones. Not only their physical bodies, but also the walls of the enemy towers will inevitably shake and tremble after being hit by them. If they stand like this, they are likely to be directly hit. Crush into minced meat.
"ah!"
At this moment, a huge stone the size of a millstone flew over from the crenel, and a huge black shadow shrouded the heads of the team.
"Boom!" The boulder hit the ground, sending up yellow dust.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
The team seemed to see their own boy running towards them with a smile outside Suiyang City, spreading his hands and shouting: "Daddy, hug!"
The smiling face got bigger and bigger, getting closer and closer to him. When it came to his eyes, it turned into the evil smile, and suddenly a black silence of death spread out.
"No! Chief Zhang! No!" the recruit who was pushed down shouted heartbreakingly. The captain was not in danger. He was standing exactly where he was a few seconds ago. It¡¯s all my fault, I¡¯m the one who harmed the captain!
If he had been smarter when defending the city, he would not have died even if the team was in charge!
Blood gushed out along the chest of the captain, dyeing the bluestone red, dyeing the eyes of every Tang soldier red, and there was a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth until his death.
The recruit hugged the captain's body and cried loudly. He had never been so afraid of death. Why, why is God so ruthless, and why do good people always have short lives? Why can the Hulu do whatever they want in the Tang Dynasty and in Suiyang?
This is their home!
Why do they have to endure such unfair treatment when they do something so natural as protecting their homeland?
The blood was as red as the other side of the flower, and the red was so flawless that the recruit seemed to remember every moment he had spent with the team in just one month.
¡°Bang, bang bang!¡± Several more boulders flew over and shattered the wooden watchtower.
"Get up!" A fire chief immediately grabbed the recruit who was holding the dead team and was holding on to him, and yelled loudly: "If you are a leader, cheer up and chop him when the rebels attack the city and seize the territory later. Damn it!¡±
"I, I! I want to avenge Captain, I want revenge!" The young man's eyes turned blood red for a moment, reflectingEmitting endless hatred.
Since the world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs, then they will make the decision for themselves and defend the dignity they deserve!
¡°Damn it!¡± Lei Wanchun punched the stone wall hard and roared. If this momentum continues without the rebels charging, Suiyang City will be reduced to rubble!
"Pass my order and continue fighting with the drums. While using the crossbow to cover, forcefully climb up with the ladder. Once you enter the city, don't hesitate. I will kill all the Tang troops inside!"
Linghu Chao was completely ruthless at this time. At first, he had the intention of recruiting Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun and other powerful generals, but now it seems that such a choice is too risky. The most important thing right now is to conquer Suiyang. Don't give Yin Ziqi a chance to take advantage of him.
"Dong, dong, dong!" The deep and depressing sound of the Yan Army's leather drum sounded again, and more than 2,000 rebel soldiers rushed over with shouts. Some of them were carrying ladders several feet high, while others were holding giant shields and long knives. They cooperated with each other and rushed towards the north city of Suiyang City under the cover of bed crossbows.
Although the rebels are good at riding, they are not proficient in craftsmanship. This bed crossbow was also made by Tang military craftsmen. Although the power may not be as powerful as the standard bed crossbow in the Tang army, it is enough to respond to emergencies.
The rebels¡¯ ladder was also learned from the Tang Dynasty, ¡°with a big wooden bed and six wheels underneath.¡± This kind of ladder is not only light and easy to carry, but also the height can be adjusted according to the specific conditions of the city wall. The Hu people in the Yan region are brave in nature, especially the Khitans, Tongluo and Turks. They are very powerful, and they are even more powerful after getting this ladder. They are all very motivated and want to attack Suiyang immediately and kill all the two-legged sheep in the city!
"Go up and kill them all! Go in, there are endless treasures and countless beauties in Suiyang City. Go in, and those are all yours!" A rebel captain roared loudly, and the war inspired The beast in his heart and the temptation of wealth have made him almost crazy. Although there may not be the things he mentioned in Suiyang, so what?
It is understandable to appropriately use the promises of gold and silver women to motivate soldiers on the battlefield. Besides, after the city is defeated, Commander Yin will definitely ask His Majesty the Emperor to give everyone a big reward. Isn't that reward as rich as the three melons and two dates that he snatched?
ps: Zhang Xun is still very accomplished in commanding operations. After reviewing the information, I admire him very much!
