Chapter 783: The Liao-Xia coalition forces launched a massive attack on the city (first update)
Chapter 792

"Try to win Youzhou City within one day, and let the world see the bravery of my invincible Daliao army." Yelu and Luwo stood proudly holding the handles of their swords at their waists. Behind them, countless soldiers from the Liaoxia coalition The generals responded loudly one after another, and even some leaders of the northern tribes drew their swords excitedly and howled wildly.

Seeing this scene, Pochao Xinde also raised his arms and howled twice, then turned his head and looked towards Youzhou City indifferently.

These sophisticated and extremely sharp siege weapons were not produced by the Liao Kingdom, but were produced after nearly half a year of hard work in the Great Xia and countless money and food.

But now, it will only become a stepping stone to the success of the people of the Liao Kingdom. Who has made the national power of Daxia so weak now.

I only hope that after taking back the three states, Daxia will be able to endure hardships in order to revive and prosper in the future.

#####
On the top of the city, Wang Yang and others looked at the towering and ferocious siege weapons like ancient giant beasts with extra relaxed expressions.In Wang Yang's eyes, these things are just like the silver wax gun tip and the vase on the calendar, which are not useful.

"General Zhong, in your opinion, when will they launch an attack?" After looking around for a long time, Wang Yang asked the old driver Zhong Shihe beside him.

Master Zhong frowned and shook his head after thinking about it. "It's hard to say. If I were the coach of the Liao Kingdom, then I would rather let these things show off for two more days, and let people shout to the city every day, so that the opponent's morale will drop. At that time, I will go all out and press all four..."

"However, it is very likely that the offensive will be launched after the siege equipment arrives at each gate. After all, the enemy attacks and we defend, and the initiative is not in our hands."

"That's right, General Liang, how is your training going? Can you memorize the semaphore..." After Wang Yang nodded, his eyes turned and fell on Liang Zuo who was not far away from him and asked in a deep voice road.

"Don't worry, my lord. Brothers have already memorized it, and they are repeating it all the time. There will never be any problems." Liang Zuo confidently assured Wang Yang loudly.

"Well, remember, whether we can defend Youzhou at the minimum cost depends on whether our Yuanyou trebuchet can destroy the opponent's siege weapons. Whether the Yuanyou trebuchet can hit or not depends on whether I need to see if your eyes can give clear direction instructions to Yuanyou's trebuchet."

"My lord, please don't worry. If something goes wrong, there is no need for your lord to order that the general be punished. The general will cut off his own head first." Liang Zuo said confidently.

He was very excited and surging in his heart, because he never expected that Wang Yang would delegate such important tasks as commanding Yuanyou's trebuchet to himself.

Since the day he received this mission, Liang Zuo has led his brothers to practice day and night. Even before the Liao-Xia coalition forces arrived, they were able to clearly launch missiles from all directions, whether during the day or in the firelight at night. Click, identify the flag standing on the city head, and report the precise angle and height.

Of course, the telescope developed by Wang Dacai is indispensable. As for the signal flag that only needs to signal the height and angle, it is definitely a very simple and clear flag. If you still can’t get it right after so many days of training. .

Mr. Wang Daguan can consider the possibility of direct substitution. After all, if he still doesn't know how to do it after training for so many days, even if he gives them, like the flag bearers and signal observers, a serving of stewed pig brains with gastrodia elata every day, they probably won't be able to make up for the shortfall in IQ.

"In this case, starting today, all officers on duty must be on standby for [-] hours, and officers who change shifts in each department are not allowed to leave their posts without authorization. In addition, tell the medical clinics to prepare... Be prepared to receive the wounded, and ask them , how are the trained medical soldiers doing?"

Even though those large siege weapons are no longer the biggest threat to Youzhou City, they have only reduced their threat to Youzhou.

However, as long as the opponent starts to attack, how can the soldiers in Youzhou City not suffer casualties under the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops?

Time passed by bit by bit, and in a blink of an eye, the sky was already dark, the moonlight was rising, and when it was gradually setting to the west, the Liaoxia army outside the four gates of Youzhou had quietly assembled. The siege equipment that has been placed in front of the camp, such as rams, catapults, ladders, and crash vehicles, is already ready to go. In addition, there are more than hundreds of simple wooden ladders ready.

"Your Highness, it's midnight..." A guard who was waiting in the tent and watching the dripping copper pot quickly ran to His Highness the Prince and reported loudly.

After Yelu and Luwo nodded slightly, their eyes fell on Xiao Ruoguang, the general in command in front of him. "General Xiao, I'm here today to wish you success."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general's sons will definitely become the first batch of warriors to climb the walls of Youzhou." The tall and tall Xiao Ruoguang bowed to Yelu and Lu O, then turned over and jumped on the horse's back, waving his hand.

The three thousand elite soldiers who originally stood silently in the darkness held swords in one hand and carried wooden ladders on their shoulders, and began to move towards the city. Behind them, there were more than ten thousand soldiers, fighting against this wave of collisions. Cars, riprap trucks, etc. were mixed together, slowly advancing.

When we were less than a mile away from the city wall, the soldier responsible for listening to the urn at the foot of the city wall quickly opened the cover above his head and shouted loudly. "A large number of footsteps are approaching the city wall!"

"Bang the drum, rocket warning!" Soon, it took only a few breaths for the alarm to reach the ears of the garrison generals on top of the city. The generals who were lying in armor and dozing against the female wall jumped up directly. Get up and shout loudly.

Soon, rockets flew across the night sky, flying high in the sky, and then slowly fell down. One, two, finally illuminated a place, and it was impressive to see that countless Liaoxia coalition forces were approaching Carrying the wooden ladder, they rushed towards the bottom of the city wall.

The rumbling sound of drums was like thunder rising from the sky. More and more torches were lit on top of the city, and then moved to the rear to prevent the city from being too bright and making the defenders a target for the attackers.

Behind the city wall, a large number of elite frontier soldiers in iron armor began to climb to the top of the city, mixing among the box soldiers in paper armor.

The side soldiers are mainly responsible for long-range attacks, while the task of close combat is to be handed over to these frontier soldiers who have more combat experience.

Yelu and Luwo squinted their eyes, looking at the swaying flames of the city, and in their sight, there were a few shadows that blocked the light of the city. Those shadows were the huge monsters like Chongche what's left.

But this time, like the other three gates, five rams were dispatched from the east gate, and there were still ten rams left in the camp. It was not Yelu and Luo who were stingy.

But the car is too precious. Once damaged, repairs are slow and difficult.The goal of the Liaoxia coalition forces is not only Youzhou, but also Hongzhou, Yanzhou, and maybe other cities on Shaanxi Road in the Song Dynasty.
