Chapter 2166 City Defense War (2)!
This time, An Lushan is the leader of the alliance. All countries have full authority to obey An Lushan's orders. If they can't handle the "small situation" at hand, let alone the next one.
"No need to worry, my lord, all this needs to be left to generals Cui and Tian to handle."
Gao Shang held the feather fan in his hand and frowned slightly, but he did not lose his sense of proportion. He turned his eyes and quickly looked at Cui Qianyou, Tian Chengsi and others on the side.
"Generals, I leave this matter to you."
Gao Shang said calmly.
"Um!"
Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen were the first to react. They did their part and quickly got on their horses.
"Lord, leave this matter to us."
The two of them looked calm and composed, bowed to An Lushan, pinched the horse's belly, and quickly turned away.
Seeing these two people take action, An Lushan nodded slightly and his expression became much calmer.
Youzhou not only has strong soldiers and horses, but also has many generals. Although Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen are not well-known in China, they are actually quite capable in military strategy.
Especially during the years under Zhang Shougui, An Lushan has been quietly taking the opportunity to train a few people. In the successive wars against the Eastern/Turkic Khanate, Xihe Khitan, Goguryeo and other countries, these people have already had the ability to stand alone.
Several people disappeared into the army, and the entire battlefield also changed rapidly.
"All armies listen to the order and stop advancing!"
"Frontline soldiers retreat to the wings!"
"All shield vehicle troops stop advancing and prepare for defense!"
"The Netherworld Army is ready to move out!"
…
Soon, as the two generals Cui and Tian were dispatched, a series of orders were issued.
Following the orders of the two men, the army in the rear was continuously rushing forward, causing the chaos to further expand. However, at this time, all the armies received the order and immediately stopped advancing.
And the front line,
The densely packed army was originally in chaos, but after receiving the order at this time, it was as if it had found the backbone. First, the soldiers at the rear moved to both sides, and then they separated from the back to the front.
Once soldiers in chaos receive clear and accurate orders, they will quickly regain their composure and follow the orders.
——Cui Qianyou saw this very accurately.
But the biggest reaction from Youzhou is not this.
"boom!"
Just behind the coalition forces of various countries, at the horizon, there was a loud noise, and a huge rock rolled and suddenly rose into the sky, drawing a huge arc in the sky, crossing the entire battlefield, towards the steel fortress. Boom coming from the direction.
It's just that these rocks are not bombarding the inside of the steel fortress in a regular way, but are shifted at a small angle and directly attack -
Those 40,000 Tang/troops!
"boom!"
There was a loud noise that shook the earth, and the huge rock, wrapped in destructive power, fell heavily from the sky. The huge shock wave knocked more than twenty heavy-armored warriors of the Tang Dynasty away.
At the center of the rock fall, five or six Datang warriors were caught off guard and were directly hit by the huge rock. Their sternums were broken and blood burst out. Even the armor on their bodies was twisted and deformed. Their bodies were like rag bags and they were directly hit on the spot. Smashed to death.
However, all this is just the beginning——
boom!
boom!
boom!
Wave after wave of roars came from the rear. Just behind the huge rock, one after another rocks were thrown out and fell on the 40,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, causing huge casualties in the army of the Tang Dynasty.
A single rock weighs at least several hundred kilograms, or even nearly a thousand kilograms.
These rocks were thrown from a high altitude. Under the influence of huge inertia, the impact force reached at least 50,000 to 60,000, or even 70,000 to 80,000.
For the soldiers at the bottom, even the elite soldiers are difficult to resist, let alone them.
"It's a trebuchet!"
Seeing the huge rocks falling down one after another, everyone on the city couldn't help but look stern. Guo Ziyi, Chen Burang, Sun Zhiming and others all looked at Wang Chong in front of them.
In front, Wang Zhongsi and Albus also looked slightly condensed.
"The other party's general is not simple."
Albus narrowed his eyes slightly and looked forward.
"It seems to be Tian Qianzhen, the traitorous general in Youzhou."
Wang Zhongsi also frowned slightly.
The trebuchet was originally only used to attack the city. If you can think of using the trebuchet to deal with ground troops and help the frontline army prevent the chaos from further expanding, even Wang Zhongsi, the world-recognized God of War of the Tang Dynasty, had to admit that the man opposite Generals are no ordinary people.
"Send the order, the army is dispersed, be careful to hide!"
Wang Zhongsi's expression darkened and he immediately ordered.
Although trebuchets are rare in number, if not guarded against, they are definitely enough to cause huge damage to the army.
But before Wang Zhongsi's voice fell, boom, another sharp roar came, and a huge rock rolled and fell again, but this time the rock that fell was completely different from before.
Boom, in the eyes of everyone, the huge rock did not hit the 40,000 Tang Dynasty/troops, but hit the tunnel full of steel spikes. The huge force directly smashed many long The steel spikes bent, and the sharp steel spikes also pierced and shattered the rock, with countless fragments flying everywhere.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces...
Just after this rock, more rocks thrown by trebuchets fell from the sky and fell into the pit.
"What are they doing?"
Behind, Chen Burang and others were shocked when they saw this scene.
If it is possible that the first rock "missed", then there are too many trebuchets that missed!
"They want to fill the tunnel with trebuchets!"
At this moment, a voice came from the front, attracting everyone's attention.
Wang Zhongsi looked ahead, his expression solemn, and a thick cloud faintly passed between his brows.
The opponent is more powerful than expected. Judging from the situation in front of us, the opponent has obviously divided the trebuchet troops into two groups. One group attacks the Tang Dynasty's 40,000 troops, while the other group controls the trebuchets and fills them with rocks. Flat tunnel ahead.
For the coalition forces of various countries, the biggest obstacle now is the tunnels filled with long steel spikes. As long as those tunnels are filled up, even if they are not completely filled up, the army can sweep away the plains and continue to exert its numerical advantage.
"Pass my command, the archer unit is divided into two, and one half is used to snipe the stones thrown in the air!"
"If Chen doesn't let me, I'll leave this matter to you!"
At this moment, a calm and calm voice came from the front. At this moment, Wang Zhong suddenly spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Chen Burang was startled for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening. Then he looked happy and left after the order.
Everyone under Wang Chong was proud to follow Wang Chong and take the initiative to attack. Chen Burang stayed behind and waited for orders, and he couldn't wait for a long time.
"Crack!"
As Chen Burang left, the sounds of bowstrings could be heard one after another on top of the city.
Whoosh!
But in the blink of an eye, the archer troops on top of the city were clearly divided into two groups. One group continued to launch missiles to attack the coalition forces from the rear, while the other group of archers changed direction and began to accurately shoot at the falling rocks above. .
"Boom!"
Just hearing bursts of explosions, and being shot by sharp arrows, rocks exploded violently in the sky above the battlefield.
Chen Burang's addition had an immediate effect. Countless fragments and stone chips scattered and fell from the sky. They were far less threatening than before.
Opposite, Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen were standing among the army. When they saw this scene, they looked at each other and their expressions sank.
The response from the other side was faster than they imagined. If this continues, the actual damage caused by the trebuchet troops will be very limited. Not only that, even the idea of filling the tunnel with rocks may be difficult to achieve.
"Don't worry about it! Send out the Netherworld Army and directly kill the 40,000 Tang Dynasty/troops. They have now crossed the tunnel, and they will not be affected by the tunnel at all. Once they are all killed, fill the tunnel directly with their corpses!"
At the front, on a tall horse like a dragon, Cui Qianyou looked cold and suddenly spoke, with a strong evil aura in his expression.
As the number one general under An Lushan, Cui Qianyou can't see it at ordinary times, but once he goes to the battlefield, his fierce, ruthless, and cold temperament is completely revealed.
Righteousness does not control wealth, and kindness does not control soldiers. Cui Qianyou's leadership style is actually much more ruthless than many people imagine.
"Another order from me! Move out the army and attack with all your strength. Those who retreat will be killed!"
Cui Qianyou looked ahead and said again:
"Now that the army has restored order, I want to see how much of our army these 40,000 troops can resist!"
At the last sentence, Cui Qianyou's eyes flashed with a strong murderous intention.
Although the Tang Dynasty had the upper hand and a tunnel full of steel spikes killed at least 100,000 soldiers of the coalition forces of various countries, but now everything has been restored to order and the chaos has been stopped. On the contrary, the 40,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty, Little did they know that they were already trapped in a tight siege. As long as the coalition forces from various countries gave an order, they could be crushed into powder.
"attack!"
Following Cui Qianyou's order, the armies of the various countries immediately changed. At the rear of the army, which had been unmoving and towering like a mountain, an army with an extremely chilling aura also moved with it. In an instant, it moved forward like an arrow from a string. rushed to the battlefield.
Not to mention Youzhou and the allied forces of various countries, in front of the steel fortress, the threat of trebuchets was resolved, and the 40,000 Tang Dynasty/troops continued to advance forward. The sword light passed by, the blood burst out, and row after row of Zhuge Liang... The Union troops howled miserably and kept falling.
"Your Majesty, now that the army has no natural barrier to rely on, and the opponent has restored order, do you want the army to retreat temporarily to avoid excessive losses?"
A voice came from the side, and Albus suddenly spoke.
The Youzhou area belongs to the territory of various countries. They are far more familiar with this place than the Tang Dynasty. In Albus's view, our side is undoubtedly on the defensive. It is very impressive to cause more than 100,000 casualties to the opponent with an army of 40,000. The result was achieved.
The best way is to stop as soon as possible, take the remaining 40,000 troops back into the city, and use the city's strength to fight against the opponent.
