Text 927. Battle for the City Wall (Part 2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Soon, following Yang Wanchun's order, a group of more than a dozen Goguryeo archers immediately entered the steps below the tower, and then wanted to engage in crossbow shooting with the Tang army above the tower.  Because since the Tang army could use this kind of crossbows, they could also use crossbows to suppress the Tang army. This was Yang Wanchun's tactic.  So Yang Wanchun wanted to suppress the enemy with bows and crossbows, so as to regain the advantage for himself.  Once the second group of Tang troops were allowed to climb the city wall, the consequences would be very serious for them.  ¡°No, their archers are coming, get down right now!¡± Dugumou shouted.  Soon, the Tang Army¡¯s death squads immediately lay down on the steps of the city wall, and the Goguryeo archers also came here.  ¡°Swish, swish, swish¡­¡± The crossbows began to fire, but none of these bows and arrows harmed the Tang army.  Because this is like a shooting angle problem. If you lie down on the steps and want to shoot up from below, the exposure angle is too small.  It was difficult to hit from such a small angle, so the Goguryeo people did not hit the Tang army.  ¡°It¡¯s our turn to fight back!¡± Dugu Mou said.  "Liannu, shoot!" Dugu Mou said.  ¡°Kaqi kaqi¡± ¡°Woo wow wow¡­¡± Goguryeo¡¯s crossbowmen were shot dead immediately, and Yang Wanchun was angry and anxious.  Because he could sort of see that there was actually a reason why their crossbows were used in different ways.  For large crossbows like the Goguryeo people, the crossbowmen must stand to draw the bow.  But the Tang Army's Zhuge Liannu can be used lying down, and its rate of fire is still very high.  If Yang Wanchunwan was born more than a thousand years ago, he would definitely know that this is actually the difference between a front-loading gun and a breech-loading gun.  These large crossbows are actually equivalent to muzzle-loading guns. They must be drawn while standing or squatting. Otherwise, there is no way to draw the bow while lying down.  And this small Zhuge Liannu is like a breech-loading gun.  It can be used lying down, and you can change the crossbow box while lying down, and then continue shooting.  "The Goguryeo people stood and drew their bows. The exposed area was too large, so they were easily shot.  However, the Tang army on the tower was not only lying down and shooting arrows, but also because of the angle of the tower, they were completely in a blind spot for the crossbowmen to shoot. The Goguryeo crossbowmen could not hit the target.  However, the Tang army above could shoot down it very easily. In addition, the Tang army's Zhuge Liannu had a very high firepower density, which caused the Goguryeo crossbowmen to suffer a big loss.  "Damn it. Why is it so narrow here! Those who designed the tower should all be killed!" Yang Wanchun looked at the topography of the steps of the tower and said angrily.  There is a turn under the steps of this tower, and when the Goguryeo people defended, they actually wanted to reduce the chance of enemy attack.  The original shooting was to prevent the enemy from rushing down from the tower, so a turn was specially designed, which would be beneficial to the subsequent defense of the Goguryeo people.  But now this turn has restricted the Goguryeo people's counterattack, because they cannot stand too many archers.  Therefore, the firepower density cannot be increased in this case.  These are the situations where the Goguryeo people did not expect that the Tang army would have Zhuge Liang's repeating crossbow. This weapon was very helpful for this situation.  Especially those who climb the ladder to the city wall. This kind of close combat requires a weapon with very fierce firepower.  That is of course very good.  On the other side, Jing Wen saw that the death squads led by Dugu Mou had occupied the city wall, and he knew that this opportunity had come.  "Infantry division, attack immediately! Attack to support Dugu Mou. As long as you attack, we can say we have won." Jing Wen shouted.  "Yes!" said Lin Fei, commander of the infantry division.  "Charge!" Lin Fei shouted.  This Lin Fei was originally the deputy commander of the baggage regiment when Jing Wen was in the Xue Shao Army, and later became the division commander under Cheng Yaojin.  He also defeated Cheng Yaojin during the exercise.  This time he also went on the expedition and was Dugumou's immediate boss.  Now that Dugumou led the death squads to charge forward and occupied the city wall, as a follow-up force, Lin Fei naturally had to rush to support the front and expand the results of the battle.  As long as a city gate is occupied, the city gate can be opened and a large number of troops can rush into the city. In this way, the Goguryeo troops can be completely eliminated.  "Go up the ladder!" Other troops of the infantry division immediately set up more ladders and began to climb up.  Now it is actually similar to landing on the beach. The first batch of troops has already captured the city wall, and then the subsequent troops can continue to come up.  The longer the delay, the greater the advantage for the attacking side.  After all, the longer the time goes by, the more soldiers will be able to go up to the city wall to support them, and the less advantage they will have for the defenders.  In ancient times, the means of defending the city mainly relied on the city wall to defend, but once the city wall was destroyed,If they are defeated, once they enter street fighting, it means that the city's fall has become inevitable. They are just fighting against a trapped beast.  "Come forward!" Yang Wanchun shouted to the soldiers around him.  Dugu Mou, who was on the top of the city tower, immediately shouted: "Fight me, you're welcome. Our reinforcements will be coming up soon!" Now it's the last moment, the reinforcements are climbing the ladder, and they will be there in just a few minutes.  Got support.  This was also the time when the Goguryeo army was at its craziest, because they were facing the loss of the city wall, so they had to work hard to recapture the city wall.  "Don't be stingy with arrows and grenades, hit me hard! If you go down, just hold on for a while!" Dugu Mou shouted.  "Kaqi, kaqi" "Boom, boom, boom" Zhuge's crossbow began to shoot down hard, and he threw all the grenades out without politeness.  Goguryeo's soldiers suffered heavy losses. Although some tried to rely on shields for cover, these were in vain because shield soldiers were no match for grenades.  In such a small space, with grenades and Zhuge Liannu, this kind of victory was achieved.  The only pity is that the applicable scope of this combat situation is too small, and it may not be able to be used in many other cities.  A few minutes later, the soldiers from behind climbed up the ladder and began to occupy various parts of the tower.  "General Dugu, your mission is completed, leave the rest to us!" said a soldier of the infantry division.  "Okay, I'll leave it to you then. I'm going to take a rest first. It's really tiring!" Dugumou said.  Soon Dugumou began to retreat, and then he was ready to take a rest.  The follow-up soldiers of the infantry division began to move up different steps to occupy, and then were ready to receive the troops behind to continue the attack.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
