Li Jing looked carefully and frowned slightly. He did not expect that Su Wen Gaiyuan would lead a large army to counterattack Jian'an City. Fortunately, the battle report said that after taking Jian'an City, there was no attack, but the city walls and fortifications were reinforced. Come to think of it, With the 100,000 troops in Cheng Yaojin's hands, it shouldn't be a problem to hold Jian'an City until he arrives!
Immediately, Li Jing gave the order: "The whole army marches as fast as possible and reaches the new city as soon as possible before resting!"
The order was passed, and the army immediately rushed towards the new city at its fastest speed.
Just as Li Jing's army was rushing towards the new city, Su Wen Gaiyuan's first wave of attacks was launched.
Catapults were placed at the rear of the military formation, and siege vehicles were at the forefront of the army. In the front row, tens of thousands of crossbowmen were ready, waiting for the order to be issued, and they would put the quivers in their quivers. Feather arrows poured towards Jian'an City.
Behind the crossbowmen are groups of tall soldiers in full armor. After the crossbowmen fired their volleys, it was their turn to take the field. These soldiers were responsible for attacking tough battles. They carried ladders on their shoulders and used them to Used for climbing city walls.
On both sides, there are groups of cavalry. Although there are not as many infantry as there are, their strength is more than ten times that of the infantry. A single charge can kill infantry several times their size.
However, it is not their turn to participate in the siege battle for the time being. If Jian'an City sends troops out of the city to fight, they will be able to use it. Of course, if the city is broken, they will also attack the city as soon as possible and strangle everyone in the city. Tang Jun.
In the central army, Su Wen Gaiyuan rode a tall horse and stood under the banner with the word "Su". Surrounded by more than a dozen generals, he was waiting for his orders!
Facing the imminent attack by the Goguryeo army, the captains, captains, and guards in Jian'an City kept scolding, telling their men to be on guard, cheer up, and beat them severely once the enemy launched an attack.
Of course, in the first round, catapults and crossbows must be put into battle. The captains did not forget to instruct their men to hide in the walls that had been prepared. This was specially prepared to defend against arrows. Once the arrows were fired, When an arrow comes, as long as you hide inside, you will not be afraid of the arrow attack. When the crossbowmen stop, the soldiers will come out to defend themselves.
This is also prepared in advance to strengthen defense in order to reduce casualties.
Of course, this kind of thing can only resist arrows, but not the large number of stones thrown by catapults.
After all, the stone is very heavy. Coupled with the gravitational acceleration caused by the projectile, its weight increases exponentially. If it hits it, it will destroy the wall. It is normal for it to be killed. It depends on one's luck. Unlucky. There's nothing we can do about it.
Just as the captains of Jian'an City were reminding their men over and over again, with a wave of Su Wen Gaiyuan's hand, the crossbowmen in the front row instantly released their already fully drawn bow strings.
Arrows headed towards Jian'an City like raindrops. This was a volley of ten thousand crossbowmen, and the momentum was quite spectacular.
When the arrows fell, the captains shouted loudly in Jian'an City.
"Escape, hurry up and hide from me, don't you want to die?"
The cry had an effect, and almost all the soldiers immediately hid in the wall.
Immediately, a clanking sound was heard in Tang Jun's ears. This was the sound of arrows falling on the wall.
This was just the beginning. After a round of arrows, behind the Goguryeo army, the catapults with full power also released huge rocks at the general's order and smashed them towards Jian'an City.
"Boom boom boom!"
After a burst of smoke and loud noise, screams followed.
Those who screamed were unlucky enough to have the wall stamped through and the remaining falling rocks hitting the soldiers hiding in the wall stampede.
Some people were in a better position and only suffered minor injuries, but some were completely hit on the head. A large amount of blood was left on the head, and they fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Before anyone could come to rescue him, he saw tens of thousands of Goguryeo crossbowmen outside the city setting up their arrows again, fully drawing their bowstrings, and fired a second round of arrow rain towards Jian'an City.
The soldiers who had the wall smashed and stamped on did not even have a chance to escape, and they were shot into hedgehogs one after another, and they could not die anymore.
However, there were only a few who were unlucky, and most people escaped. After the arrows were fired, and under the shouts of the captain, they stepped out of the wall and stood on the wall to prepare to resist the enemy's attack.
Under normal circumstances, after two rounds of arrows, the enemy will launch an attack. Coupled with the suppression of the catapult, the attackers will be much more relaxed, but the crossbows will not fire again, which will accidentally injure their own people.
The soldiers on the city wall had to risk being stoned to death to resist the attack.
Of course, the defenders of the city braved the stones of catapults to defend, and the attacking Goguryeo people also had to brave the rolling logs, fortification stones, kerosene and other materials that had been prepared on the city to attack the city. Can get a bargain.
It's just that one gets beaten at the beginning, the other gets beaten in the middle, and in the later stage it's a wall-to-wall fight, and it all depends on who is better.
