Chapter 703 Decisive Battle in Nancheng (7)

boom!

A big rock hit the Nest Car, and sawdust flew everywhere, but the structure of the Nest Car was not damaged and it continued to rumble forward.

Boom! Another big stone hit the top of a nest car. The top plate was not damaged, and the big stone was bounced away.

Li Ye could see all this clearly with his thousand-mile eyes. The materials used by the craftsmen were very thick. They should have made the base plate first and then nailed it to the base plate with logs cut into two. The nest car would be so strong. The attack has no effect at all.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Yan Army on a siege ladder seized the opportunity, rushed up with several soldiers, and opened a gap. Then the soldiers of the Yan Army rushed up dozens of people one after another. Suddenly something unexpected happened and the city was destroyed. The leading defenders were caught off guard, and there was a huge chaos, followed immediately by several siege ladders that also broke through.

The breakthrough points always appeared in Pei Xiu's defensive zone. Li Ye was furious and ordered: Heavy crossbow in hand!

The flags were fluttering, and the heavy crossbowmen rushed forward to help the battle. They raised their crossbows and fired quickly. A burst of arrows shot them dead. Dozens of soldiers who rushed to the city were killed. The soldiers of the Tang army swarmed up and stabbed them with their spears. In a moment, other Yan soldiers were killed. All the soldiers were killed and the gap was sealed again.

One of Li Ye's soldiers rushed to Pei Xiu and shouted: Your Highness orders, if General Pei is too tired, please go down to the city to rest and let other generals take over!

Pei Xiu was so stimulated that his face turned red. He roared angrily: Everyone, cheer up. If you dare to slack off again, you will be beheaded immediately!

Pei Xiu knew very well that the reason why he was broken through was because his army was a little underestimating the enemy and was slack, including himself.

The fear of being breached made the soldiers of the Tang Army cheer up and fight with all their strength against the enemy troops attacking the city.

The breakthrough occurred in Pei Xiu's defensive area, and the enemy's attack also appeared in Pei Xiu's area. Once the Tang army soldiers concentrated on how to destroy the Yan army soldiers' attack, they quickly made a breakthrough.

The latest breakthrough is that Tang Army soldiers found a way to deal with the ladder. Using ropes, dozens of Tang Army soldiers threw out their hooks and hooked the basic ladder iron bars under the ladder. There were three iron hooks and a total of six strands of rope. Hundreds of Tang Army soldiers worked together. After pulling hard, the ladder began to shake, and the enemy soldiers on the ladder fell one after another. The ladder began to tip over, and finally collapsed.

The soldiers of the Tang Army immediately threw down hundreds of bundles of wheat straw and lit them with rockets. The straw ignited a fire and the ladder also began to burn.

The Tang troops on the top of the city followed suit one after another. Soon, the second, third, and fourth ladders were also pulled over by ropes, and then set on fire. There were burning fires everywhere under the city.

The inefficiency and continuous defeat of the ladder caused Gao Shang to change his tactics. He ordered all other ladders to retreat outside the moat to make way for the nest car behind.

At the same time, the second batch of ten chariots was also thrown into the battlefield and quickly drove towards the city wall. Gao Shang also invested 20,000 troops to follow the twenty chariots.

At this time, the first batch of nest cars had already driven onto the pontoon.

Li Ye calmly ordered: Inform the heavy crossbow army to prepare and replace the iron arrows!

The route of the chariot is fixed. At the upper city of the chariot, the other soldiers have retreated, leaving the field empty. The heavy crossbow army, heavy armored infantry and heavy hammer gun company have already been prepared.

The biggest feature of the nest car is that the top is relatively wide, and thirty soldiers can stand on it. There is a roof on the head, and the front is blocked by a raised overpass board. The overpass board is five feet wide and eight feet long. It is extremely strong. It is like a side bridge. The powerful shield withstood the heavy arrows fired by the Tang army.

Behind the thirty soldiers is the entrance. Below are two stairs. The stairs are also filled with heavy armored infantry. When the first batch of heavy armored infantry rushed to the top of the city, the first batch of heavy armored infantry also rushed to the top of the city. , then the third batch, the fourth batch, the fifth batch

After rushing up to one hundred and fifty heavy armored infantry, a large number of ordinary soldiers came to the city behind them. The twenty nest vehicles all output such a high amount of soldiers. If the nest vehicles are not destroyed in time, they will be killed in just one stick of incense. Within a short period of time, tens of thousands of Yan Army soldiers were sent to the top of the city, which meant that Chang'an City was lost and the two sides would enter street fighting.

This is also the main reason why both parties attach great importance to Chaoche.

But the Nest Car was built extremely solidly, and even the fifty or sixty-kilogram stone from the trebuchet could hardly damage it. place.

The first nest car finally arrived at the city head. The heavy overpass suddenly fell down and hit the battlements hard. Thirty heavy armored infantry rushed out and rushed towards the city head. Almost at the same moment, fifty steps away The heavy crossbowmen fired arrows together. This time, the big yellow crossbow shot was not a long heavy arrow, but an iron arrow. Hundreds of iron arrows had the power to break gold and crack stones even at a distance of 500 steps, not to mention that it was only 50 steps away. .

The heavy armor of the Yan army's heavy armored infantry could not block the powerful force of the iron arrows, and they were shot through the heavy armor and body one after another. Twenty-one of the thirty heavy-armored infantry were killed in an instant, leaving only nine people who rushed forward. At the top of the city, they were greeted by dozens of heavy armored infantrymen of the Tang Army, and the two sides fought fiercely in an instant.

In addition to the heavy crossbow army, there is also a special army on the edge, that is, the soldiers responsible for spraying fire oil. They have a total of five hundred people. Since taking Wuguan, they have not had any tasks and have been idle. But at the critical moment, they Got on the field.

However, without an order from Li Ye, they could only wait patiently. Li Ye naturally had his own ideas. He used this opportunity to consume the heavy armored infantry of the Yan Army and seize a lot of equipment.

Just as the first batch of heavy armored infantry rushed to the top of the city, the second batch of thirty heavy armored infantry also quickly appeared, shouting and rushing towards the top of the city. They were also bloodbathed by heavy crossbows and iron arrows. This group was Nineteen people were killed, and eleven rushed to the top of the city.

At this time, three of the first batch of nine heavy armored infantrymen of the Yan Army had been killed on the spot, and the other six rushed out of the encirclement from three directions. In fact, it was the Tang Army's Modao soldiers who let them pass.

One of the heavy armored infantrymen of the Yan Army had just broken out of the encirclement when his ankle was caught by a hook gun lying on the ground. The soldier pulled his feet off the ground and fell heavily to the ground.

Before he could react, two hammers hit him hard on the head. The heavy armored infantryman of the Yan Army was knocked unconscious on the spot. Someone immediately pulled up his iron helmet, exposing his throat. A cold light flashed, and blood Spewed out, the throats of the Yan army's heavy armored infantry were cut.

This was only one of them, and the other five suffered the same fate in the end, but the process was not smooth. There were also six soldiers with hook rifles who moved slightly slower and were killed by heavy armored infantry.

The third group of thirty heavy armored infantry also rushed out of the nest car, and were unprepared to be shot by a storm of iron arrows. Half of the soldiers were killed. This time, fifteen heavy armored infantry rushed into the city. head.

But at this time, there was a big problem at the top of the city. Coach Li Ye underestimated the strength of the Yan Army's heavy armored infantry, and also overestimated the strength of the heavy hammer, hook and gun soldiers.

The second batch of seven Yan Army heavy armored infantry broke out of the encirclement and rushed into the heavy hammer soldiers. In the chaos, the Tang Army soldiers made mistakes in their cooperation. The hook gun soldiers failed to hook the opponent's ankle many times, and sometimes only He hooked one of the opponent's ankles, but was killed by the opponent instead.

Seven heavy armored infantrymen of the Yan Army quickly grouped together, cooperated with each other, and lined up, killing more than fifty heavy hammer soldiers and heavy crossbow soldiers of the Tang Army in one breath. They rushed forward and scared the Tang Army soldiers who were defending the siege ladder. They also retreated.
