Chapter 335 The Battle of Hongchuan
"attack!"
At this moment, under the main city of Yanbei, Hongchuan City, Yuan Che, the chief general of the Great Wei's pacifying army, looked at the city wall of Hongchuan City, which was several meters higher than he remembered, and directly issued an attack order.
Immediately, Hongchuan started to fight, wearing white armor, holding soldiers, and carrying all kinds of siege equipment, the Great Wei army directly launched an attack on Hongchuan City, which was the size of a small boat like a gust of wind.
Overwhelming, with no end in sight, like a wave of white waves, it swept away to Hongchuan City one after another, steadily advancing, and the lineup was like a mountain, causing all the soldiers and civilians in the city to change color.
You must know that in the most powerful period of Yanbei, the army was only 150,000 people, and it was scattered in the Yanbei grasslands and major cities, and they never gathered together completely.
Even the most powerful lineup in the hearts of the Yanbei military and civilians is only one of the three main forces in Yanbei, with a crowd of fifty thousand.
In fact, although the imperial army has swept across the world, the 200,000 troops led by the Seventh Prince Yuan Che have been cut off by the Qin army scouts due to backward communications, and they still do not know their own army Lonely!
How can I stay alone for a long time?
Moreover, this lone army of the Great Wei army did not know that there was already an imperial army rushing towards Hongchuan City in several directions, trying to form a siege in one fell swoop!
...
"Swear to live and die with Hongchuan City!"
Looking at the boundless, white tide that swept the earth, the powerful Great Wei army, above the head of Hongchuan City, was sassy and heroic.
""I swear to live and die with Hongchuan City! "
...
"Swear to live and die with Hongchuan City!"
...
Within Hongchuan City, more than 100,000 Hongchuan City soldiers and civilians also shouted loudly with them.
This battle of Hongchuan City is a battle to resist aggression and a battle to defend the homeland!
"Is this the Chu Qiao that His Majesty the Emperor has personally explained and needs to pay close attention to?"
"As expected of a generation of female generals, if she can be brought under the command of the empire as a general, it would be a great achievement."
Looking at the sassy and heroic figure above the head of Hongchuan City, who has been carrying it beside the Seventh Prince Yuan Che, Le Yi, who is as cunning as a fox, narrows his eyes, not knowing what he is thinking.
...
"Xiu Xiujun, prepare to meet the enemy!"
Similarly, watching Chu Qiao, who has become the backbone of the more than 100,000 people of Hongchuan City, speak, the general of the Xiuxiu Army He Xiao also said, attracting less than 3,000 Xiuxiu Army recruits and veterans on the city wall.
As the Great Wei army first released the first wave of overwhelming arrows to Hongchuan City, the war began.
At the beginning of the war, under the overwhelming arrow rain of the Dawei army, the casualties of soldiers on the Hongchuan city wall exceeded hundreds in an instant, and the number of casualties continued to expand.
And some people in Hongchuan City who were responsible for carrying the rolling wood, thunderstones and arrows were shot and killed instantly, and the number of casualties rose suddenly!
"Boom!"
As the Dawei army arrived under the city wall of Hongchuan City, the Dawei army immediately formed a formation, covered with shield soldiers, and shot crossbowmen with the bowmen of Hongchuan City, suppressing the enemy's arrow output.
Dozens of ladders were mounted on the city wall of Hongchuan, and then some soldiers of the Wei Dynasty began to climb up and attack.
The siege rushing vehicle also arrived at the Hongchuan City Gate under the cover of the bowmen and shieldmen, and began to ram.
The city gate shook for a while, but hundreds of Hongchuan Qingzhuang behind the city gate used huge wooden blocks against the height of the city gate. Defend.
Between the combat steps, the Great Wei army is well-trained, cooperates closely, and fights in an orderly pace. It is worthy of being an elite division built by the Great Wei for twenty years!
"pour oil!"
Seeing that the war was unfavorable, Chu Qiao also responded calmly and ordered directly.
Hearing the command of the commander, a dozen soldiers slowly tilted the long-prepared bronze cauldron at the city gate to the city gate.
Immediately, the scalding hot oil was poured directly onto the Great Wei siege troops who were trying to ram the city wall.
The Great Wei army is elite, and the armor is well-defended, but it can't stop the scalding hot oil.
"Zizzizi!"
The skin was doused with hot oil, and an anxious voice sounded in an instant. Many soldiers of the Great Wei siege troops were instantly burnt beyond recognition, blisters all over their bodies, and some were burnt to death on the spot.
"Ahhh!"
Screams after screams sounded, and after taking off their armor, these siege soldiers jumped directly off the moat of Hongchuan City, trying to neutralize this scorching burning feeling with cold water.
However, he was shot to death on the spot by the archers of Hongchuan City above the city wall.
As a large amount of hot oil stored in more than a dozen bronze cauldrons flowed into the moat one after another, a layer of white greasy oil stains had already floated on the entire moat!
"Even if the city's destruction is a foregone conclusion, I, Chu Qiao, will never give up!"
Seeing that the battle was at a stalemate, Chu Qiao directly bent the bow and shot an arrow, which was wrapped in tarpaulin and emitting a flaming rocket, and shot it into the moat.
"boom!"
In the moat, the soaring fire leaped up like a dragon, directly blocking the connection between the main force of the Wei Dynasty and the first batch of siege troops on the front line.
"The bowmen increase their attack strength, and they must wipe out the Dawei siege troops before the fire burns out."
Chu Qiao gave an order, and the thousands of soldiers on the city wall threw away the soldiers they were holding, picked up the strong bows and crossbows that had been placed beside them, and shot the bows at the Wei army who were already panicking below the city wall. Casualties are skyrocketing!
"I actually want to use the fire to cut off the contact reinforcements between the front-line army and the main force of the rear army, and try to wipe out my front-line troops. It's a bastard!"
At the rear of the army, on the stage of Wei Jun's general, although Yuan Che's tone was angry, he did not show any rage on his face, and then he showed a look of extreme interest.
"General Le, it seems that Chu Qiao, who once helped Yan Xun and turned Chang'an City upside down, is indeed a strange woman."
Hearing what Yuan Che said, Yulin Weizhong, who was watching the progress of the battle next to Yuan Che, and Le Yi, who also served as the supervisor of the Great Wei, couldn't help but bow their heads and express their approval.
"Although it is a bit of a doorway, it is limited to this."
"The current situation is not right, even if you have monstrous talents, but there is no soil for development, it will be difficult to become a climate after all!"
"Hongchuan City, that's the end of it!"
At the end, Yuan Che's tone suddenly became cold, and the killing intent in his eyes was fierce.
Obviously, the representative of the Wei royal family in the army, known as the Great Wei God of War, who fought on the battlefield and fought with Liang for many years, was also really angry at this time.
I want to capture Hongchuan City in one day and crush the rebellion!
