Chapter 206
Chapter 206
The combat power of the soldiers in Tianshui City was very low, which made Zhang Hao feel very relaxed. Yesterday when the city was attacked, there were already soldiers climbing to the head of the city. Then today, he must break the city.
After the soldiers had eaten their battles, Zhang Hao continued to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses, and still came to the east gate.
Above the head of the city, Jiang Yu stood proudly like a tall tree. The soldiers of Western Liang stood densely at the battlements of the city wall, lined with swords and guns, and bowstrings were drawn.
However, Zhang Hao soon discovered that the morale of the Western Liang soldiers was not high, and they lacked a murderous aura.
"Siege the city!" This
time without any unnecessary words, Zhang Hao directly gave the order.
Crossbowmen from both sides began to shoot at each other, and Cao Jun braved a rain of arrows, carried a ladder, pushed arrow towers and crashed logs towards the city.
Rolling wood thunder stones fell like a rainstorm, the screams under the city continued, and the corpses were piled up like mountains.
But the ladder was still on the head of the city, and the soldiers of the Cao army climbed up one after another. Finally, someone went to the head of the city, and the corpses of the Western Liang Army kept falling from the head of the city.
As the Cao army grew in number at the head of the city, the Western Liang army began to retreat.
The strong man carrying the ramming wood hit the city gate again and again, and each dull sound made the Xiliang soldiers' hearts tremble, as if they had been stabbed by a sharp arrow. And to the Cao soldiers, it was so exciting.
With a loud bang, the heavy city gate was finally broken.
"Rush in!" Zhang Hao waved the big gun in his hand, and the Cao army poured into the city gate hole like a tide breaking the embankment.
Zhang Hao was also surrounded by three hundred guards and rushed into the city gate.
After a brief resistance, the Western Liang army was defeated.
Zhang Hao led his army to quickly rush to the head of the city, only to see Jiang Yu covered in blood and holding a long sword in his hand. Around him, there were only about thirty soldiers, all of whom were wounded.
"Jiang Jiao, you are a man. The destruction of Tianshui City, if it is not your fault in battle, can it be reduced?" said Zhang Langsheng.
"Zhang Hao, you didn't break... Break the water source of Tianshui City, and win with the right soldiers... Victory over me, I admire it. Moreover...... And on behalf of the people of Tianshui, thanked... The grain and grass in the city, I did not burn it, in order to prevent ... Anti-riot people robbery... Looted, already mothballed ... However, loyal ministers do not... It's not a matter of the two masters!" Jiang
Yu said intermittently, suddenly slashing his sword and killing himself. And his corpse was still leaning against the battlements of the city wall, his eyes round.
"General!"
the thirty-odd Western Liang soldiers all exclaimed and knelt in front of Jiang Yu.
"The general is a loyal man, bury him thickly!" said Zhang Hao to the Western Liang soldiers.
"Thank you, General..." The
soldiers were grateful, and hurriedly carried Jiang Yu's body down the city tower.
"General Chuanben ordered that no harm should be done to the people in the city and the dependents of the officials of Western Liang!"
Although it was dark, the lights were still on in Liu Jun's study. Liu Jun, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Ma Liang and the other four were all staring at the map.
During this time, the eyes of the Skynet Camp have been closely watching this big battle between Cao Cao and Ma Teng.
Zhang Hao led an army of 10,000, crossed the Qinling Trail, occupied the street pavilion, and attacked Tianshui, and Liu Wei learned the news immediately.
"Master, Cao Cao's move is wonderful, confront Chen Cang, feint attack Sanguan, surprise attack Tianshui!" Pang Tong's face was full of admiration, "Jia Wen He really shot ruthlessly, there is no omission
!" "Yes!" Fa Zheng also nodded, "The importance of the street pavilion, Jia Xu can see it clearly, but Ma Teng did not expect it!"
"
Shi Yuan, Xiaozhi, what will be the outcome of the battle of Chen Cang?" asked Liu Jun.
"There is no suspense anymore, Ma Teng will soon be defeated, Xiliang is about to change the sky, but give Han Sui a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Pang Tong's eyes suddenly became very deep, "Master, this time we should make a big move."
Ma
Liang immediately stood up, "Now our grain and grass in Jingzhou can be used for a hundred thousand troops for one year in wartime!"
The use of a 100,000-strong army in a year is already a very large number, and the consumption in wartime is twice that of peacetime. Moreover, a series of incentive policies of the Han army need money and food. Although Pang Tong and Fa Zheng did not care about the preparation of grain and grass, as military masters, they were very concerned about quantity. No matter how good the plan is, without food and grass, it is still a failure.
"Shi Yuan, Xiaozhi, you may not know very well, if the lord is in business, he must be rich and invincible! Now our money and grain in Jingzhou, not to mention in the south, no one can compare, even Cao Cao, it is also between Bozhong!"
Cao Cao can have the land of Kyushu
!" "This also depends on Ji Chang's good management, and Bo Chang's wealth is right!" "
If there is no lord who is far-sighted, how can we have such great skills!"
Ma Liang was very humble in his mouth, but he was very happy in his heart, and at the same time he was even more glad about his original choice.
"Cloud ladders, arrow towers, ramming logs, and thunderbolts have all been improved, and the number is completely sufficient, and arrows, projectiles, knives, and shields can equip hundreds of thousands of troops. The newly made Gale Ballista is a bit bulky, and the number of crossbows in hand is small, and it has been allocated to 3,000 pairs of the Feitian Battalion.
"Can you equip Li Yan's Tiger Battalion with 3,000 hand-held crossbows?"
"Two thousand should be fine, 3,000 is a little difficult, and his subordinates urge the craftsmen to hurry up and make it."
"Good, give those craftsmen a raise, remember, if you want to improve efficiency, as long as you increase the wages high enough, you will definitely succeed, and the human potential is infinite
!" "Thank you Lord for teaching, subordinates remember!" "
Lord, what is a crossbow in hand?" Fa Zheng asked with a puzzled face, "The Gale Ballista is the wind crossbow of the Qin army back then?"
"Yes, the Gale Ballista is a Wind Crossbow, but it has been improved by craftsmen. As for the crossbow in hand... Tomorrow we will go to the flying camp outside the city and take a look and understand. "
The hand-held crossbow is actually the Zhuge crossbow, but now Zhuge Liang has not yet invented it, and it only appeared in history during the Northern Expedition.
In his previous life, Liu Jun had seen it in a museum, holding it in his hand, pulling the trigger, and firing an arrow, a total of ten can be fired, like a submachine gun.
Its principle is not complicated, there are five arrow grooves on each side, connected to different bowstrings, and after the string is full, it is fixed in different positions of the trigger. When you pull the trigger, the arrow will shoot.
Of course, it is necessary to master the strength, if the force is too large, ten arrows will fly out at the same time, and it is possible to go out several. Every time you shoot an arrow, you need to have good technique.
The invention of hot weapons could not be achieved overnight, so Liu Jun stepped up the improvement of cold weapons.
