PFC Chapter 447 Occupying the City Wall
Chapter 447 Occupying the City Wall
"Your Majesty, you must not do it, you must not do it! There is no reason for you to go into battle to kill the enemy in person when we are facing such a powerful enemy."
The surrounding ministers rushed forward to stop him.
In the previous battles, Kang Hong only went to the tower to boost morale. With a suit of armor and no damage from bows and arrows, there is naturally no risk, and they support it.
But now if you go to the battlefield, it will be real swords and guns. As long as Kang Hong's identity is revealed, he will definitely be attacked and killed by countless enemy troops. No matter how high Kang Hong's martial arts is, he may still be in danger.
Da Qian had just lost an emperor. If Kang Hong died again, there would be complete chaos.
Moreover, there was no Mingjun to succeed to the throne, so it was difficult to withstand Dayu's attack.
However, Kang Hong practiced martial arts all year round, how could his speed be comparable to that of these civil servants? He walked out of the palace in a few steps and went outside to mobilize the imperial city's iron guards.
A team of eight hundred people quickly gathered and headed towards the city gate.
On the other side, the battle also entered a fierce state.
"Counsel Zhao, I can't kill him at all."
Jiang Li said anxiously.
Zhao Zihan had also analyzed the current situation for him just now. If the soldiers and horses in the capital were unable to leave the city to help, Lin Xiaofan would soon be in crisis.
The fall of the city gate made the entire situation passive.
Zhao Zihan always remained calm. Dayu's soldiers and horses were so powerful that it was almost impossible to kill them at this time.
Moreover, their connection with the city wall was cut off, otherwise they could still throw thunderbolts from the city wall against the enemy.
He looked at the city wall, where many defenders were still struggling to hold on.
Fighting requires the right time, right place, and right people. Now that the time cannot be changed, the right place can be used.
As long as you can always occupy the city wall, you are occupying the high ground.
"General Jiang Li, hold on here while I seize the city wall."
Zhao Zihan said.
"Okay, General Liu, you bring two thousand people to help Counselor Zhao."
Jiang Li nodded slightly.
Zhao Zihan mounted his horse and quickly returned to the family. He happened to bump into Zhao Chen and hundreds of retainers who were rushing to the city gate to help.
"Brother Chen, wait."
Zhao Zihan quickly called them.
"Have you brought Lei Zhenzi with you?"
"Bring it."
Zhao Chen nodded.
Everyone realized that this battle was related to the safety of the entire capital, and Lei Zhenzi would naturally not be left behind.
"Come with me to seize the city wall, and then throw thunderbolts from the city wall."
Zhao Zihan said.
If the Thunder Zhenzi is used head-on, it is very easy to accidentally injure friendly troops. Now that the city gate is occupied and thrown on the city wall, there is no need to worry about this problem at all.
Zhao Chen naturally trusted Zhao Zihan, so he nodded immediately and led everyone to the city wall from another road.
At this time, the battle on the city wall was gradually coming to an end. Only a few remnants of the capital's iron guards were still struggling to hold on. However, they were all surrounded and death was inevitable sooner or later.
"Kill over and take back the city wall!"
Zhao Zihan shouted, and two thousand Qingzhou troops rushed forward. In just a moment, half of the city wall was taken back.
Looking at the densely packed Dayu army going up below, a few Lei Zhenzi were thrown onto the steps upstairs.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Following several sounds, the densely packed Dayu army instantly suffered numerous casualties, and a vacancy appeared on the steps.
Faced with this sudden attack, Dayu's army was obviously stunned.
Before that, the general told them that Daqian had a weapon that was as effective as thunder and powerful, but it could be used less frequently.
Although they were mentally prepared, they still felt fear in their hearts when they saw their comrades who were fine just a moment ago being bloody and bloody the next moment.
There were even some who were very close, their legs weakened and they fell directly to the ground.
Many injured soldiers lay on the ground wailing, blocking the way up.
"Rescue the wounded, then rush up and take down the city wall."
After a brief daze, General Dayu immediately began to command.
The general said that this method of Da Gan can only be used once. As long as the wounded are dragged down and the road is paved, the attack can be launched.
As long as the city walls and gates are captured, the battle will be won.
Dayu's soldiers had experienced the baptism of countless battles. They all came to their senses after hearing the commander's instructions. Some rescued the wounded, and some found ways to pave the way and quickly cleared the steps.
"Keep throwing it!"
Zhao Zihan opened his mouth and threw the thunderbolts one after another up the stairs like dumplings.
Before the war started, in order to increase the winning rate, Lin Xiaofan pulled all the craftsmen who were supposed to make fine iron to make Lei Zhenzi. Until now, all the raw materials for making gunpowder near the capital have been used up.
For this reason, the most indispensable thing in the Zhao family now is Lei Zhenzi.
Dayu's soldiers, who were about to continue their attack, suddenly stopped and heard explosions ringing in their ears one after another, each time hitting their hearts.
It lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and Dayu's soldiers and horses were completely stunned.
Didn't it say that this method can only be used once in a short period of time? The steps were all blown down, why is it not finished yet?
Not to mention the people from Dayu, but also the people from Daqian, the hands holding the weapons were trembling slightly at this time.
This burst of indiscriminate bombardment came down, even though the dead people were not theirs, they still couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.
At the city gate, there is only one way up to the city wall.
This road was completely cut off, and the big jade soldiers and horses below were unable to support them.
"Clean up the people on the tower."
Zhao Zihan said.
There were not many Dayu soldiers left on the city tower, but now they were all unstable and were quickly defeated. This place completely became the home ground of the Qingzhou Army.
At the same time, thousands more crossbowmen from the Qingzhou Army caught up.
"Fire arrows!"
Crossbow arrows fell from the tower like raindrops. Accompanied by bursts of screams, the big jade soldiers fell to the ground one by one.
Zhao Zihan looked into the distance and saw that the 20,000 troops led by Lin Xiaofan had been surrounded.
In response, he took a deep breath and could only pray in his heart that the master would come up with a clever strategy to deal with the enemy.
The moment he fell at the gate of the city, he knew that as long as Dayu's troops did not retreat, he would have no chance to leave the city to rescue.
So his purpose from the beginning was to do everything possible to kill Dayu's men and weaken their combat power. If possible, beat them until they feel sore and let them out of the city gate automatically.
He couldn't do the rest.
Dayu's soldiers and horses fell one after another. They were difficult to deal with from the front, and crossbow arrows kept coming from high places, making it impossible to stop them.
Dayu's general's face gradually turned ugly. If he continued fighting like this, he might soon lose all his men.
Looking back to the outside of the city, the shouts of killing were still ringing. The general had not captured the large number of soldiers and horses leaving the city.
Do you still want to fight? If they don't fight, the general's plan will be in vain, and they will never have a chance to break through Dagan.
If the fight continues, the soldiers under his hands will not be able to hold out for long.
