Great Song Pirate

Chapter 655 Bloody Battle

On each city wall, a few boxes of reserved thunderbolts, some of which were made of stone or iron, were moved up to a few ballistas for use, and those gunpowder, which was not too much, were used by sackcloth Packed it into a bag, tightly tied it with hemp rope, plugged in the fuse, and moved to the largest three-pointed cannon on each wall.

"Give me the catapults aimed at the Goryeos and release them! Blast those bastards to death!" Kong Qingxi personally presided over the defense of the east of the city. This is the place where the Koryo Army has the largest number of troops. Watching the Koryo Army's densely packed auxiliary soldiers gather together , was busy building the dump truck, Kong Qingxi decided to attack them first.

Under the command of Kong Qingxi, the three ballistas were immediately pulled down, and the three thunderbolts flew out immediately, drawing an arc in the sky, and accurately landed on the artillery position of the Korean army. There was a commotion there, a stone thunder hit a Korean soldier's chest, immediately collapsed the guy's chest, flew upside down and crashed into the crowd, and another stone thunder hit a Korean soldier The huge inertia smashed the guy's leg into a strange shape, and then continued to roll out amidst his wailing, and hit another guy's foot, smashing that guy's foot into a duck paw After that, three thunderbolts exploded one after another, and three balls of flames rose among the enemy troops.

A group of unprepared Koryo soldiers wailed and were blown to one area, and the nearest people were even blown up by the air waves, and fell heavily on the ground or on the gun mounts, which shocked the Koryo soldiers to scatter immediately , ran towards the back, leaving a completed or about-to-be-completed cart on the position, and a dozen corpses or wounded who were blasted to bloody flesh.

After the three roars, the advancing Koryo army couldn't help turning their eyes to the scene of the accident, with astonishment on their faces.

"What's that?" An Youjin, who was supervising the battle behind, pointed to the three clouds of smoke rising from the artillery position and asked the people around him.

Who can answer his question among the lieutenants and soldiers around him, so they all stared at the place with their mouths gaping, because today is the first time Kong Qingxi used this kind of explosive weapon, so for these Koryo natives , I want to explain clearly, it is really too difficult for them.

Seeing that no one could answer his question, An Youjin waved the whip in his hand angrily, and said angrily, "No matter what they are, aren't they just a few people who died? The supervisory team stepped forward and gave me those auxiliary soldiers." Hurry back, continue to build the throwing car, and those who dare to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

A lieutenant immediately took the order, rushed forward with a group of supervisors armed with sharp knives, blocked the auxiliary soldiers who were running to the back, cut off several people to stop them, drove them back to the artillery position, and continued Build those unfinished dump trucks.

On the other hand, the Fubo soldiers on the top of the city cheered loudly. Gunpowder is still powerful in war, regardless of high or low or martial arts, and it will end in the same way. Today, Kong Qingxi finally took out the things at the bottom of the box, probably enough. The Koreans suffered, and those auxiliary soldiers who were still a little uneasy saw that they all mustered up their courage again. The Fubo army had such powerful things, and they were afraid that the Koreans would be a bird, so they opened the city The morale above his head was immediately boosted.

"Throw the chariot, let me release the crossbow!" Kong Qingxi waved his hand and shouted after seeing that the enemy phalanx had entered the range of the crossbow and the throwing chariot.

So the crossbowmen who had been prepared in the city and the auxiliary soldiers who operated the throwing cart immediately pulled the trigger of the machine, pulled the rope, and the rocker arm of the throwing cart immediately and quickly raised, and the basket at one end was lifted. The stone was launched with a buzzing sound, and fell towards the outside of the city.

The soldiers in the phalanx of the Koryo Army stared numbly at the big black spots falling from the tower. They still maintained their formation and continued to press towards the city wall. All kinds of stones were thrown into the crowd with the sound of the wind. , the Koryo army who couldn't dodge was immediately smashed into blood and blood. After the stone fell to the ground, it hit the ground as hard as iron and did not sink in. Instead, it was covered with blood and flesh, and continued to bounce, maintaining a huge inertia to face the back He continued to rush into the formation of soldiers, but the effect was extremely good, causing a lot of casualties to the enemy.

This kind of stone falling is also not something human can resist. No matter how capable you are, you can only watch yourself being smashed into meatloaf, blood and flesh flying, and the snow and mud on the ground are stirred up after the stone falls. Plasma splattered everywhere, this is war, and the flying flesh and blood well interpreted the meaning of war, as long as it is an enemy, it is you who live and die, relying on strength to speak.

The Koreans seemed to have been numb from the cold, indifferently watching their comrades being crushed to death by these stones, then silently raised their shields and continued walking towards the city wall.

The crossbow was also launched in a diffuse way towards the sky, and it also drew arcs in the air, and then with the force of inertia, it penetrated heavily into the enemy's phalanx, and when it landed on the human body, it emitted a puff. sound, while those that land on the shield will make a clanging sound.

There was another scream, and a group of Koreans hit by arrows fell on the road ahead, clutching the arrow shafts on their chests or shoulders in panic, trying to pull them out, but how could the arrows that entered the body be They can pull it out, and under such circumstances, they can only watch their blood dry up and die.

As they approached the city wall, the drums of the Goryeo army changed, and the Goryeo soldiers who were walking in the front let out roars like beasts, and began to run wildly carrying the ladders, while the archers in the phalanx They raised their bows one after another, raised their arrows and aimed at the city.

Before they could release their arrows, a dark cloud had already risen above the city and floated down towards them. The archers of the Fubo Army started to release their arrows one step ahead of them, and a sharp arrow fell into the sky with a whistling sound. Among the Koreans, the sound of the arrows sounded like meat, which made people feel toothless. More arrows fell through and were nailed to the hard ground.

"Vertical door panels! Watch out for arrows!" The leaders of the Fubo army, who had long been familiar with the tactics of the Koreans, immediately shouted.

A door panel was immediately erected on the city wall, just in time to meet the round of upward shooting of the Goryeos. A large number of arrows shot on these wooden panels, making a sound of thumping. There were some casualties, but at this time no one cared about this matter, the planks immediately fell down as if blooming, and there was a sound of ridicule.

"This Korean man is really generous! He gave us so many arrows in one fell swoop! Brothers, don't be too polite, just give them back!" A small leader laughed and pulled up a wooden plank. Immediately, he put the arrow in his hand on the bow in his hand, opened the bow and shot it down, and a Korean who was running with a ladder on his shoulders immediately fell on the snow with his neck covered.

The longest day in Kaiju kicked off. Arrows and stones were flying all over the sky. The throwing carts built by the Koreans finally began to show their power, and the huge rocks flew up under the guidance of the Koreans. Get up and land on the city wall of Kaizhou City, any protection is almost ineffective in front of the huge stone, as long as it falls on the top of the city, it will cause casualties, and some stones hit the city wall, making a thud sound, making the city wall The soldiers on board felt the vibrations under their feet, and the stone chips splashed on the city wall, Kaizhou City was severely tested.

"I'm your uncle!" A Fubo soldier who fell on the city wall spurted blood from his mouth, screamed and cursed, trying to push away the stone pressing on his lower body, but such actions could only be in vain Yes, after cursing for a while, he finally fell down limply, stretched out his hand to pull the foot of a brother beside him, and said in a weak voice: "Brother! Revenge me, fuck him...mother..."

The brother who was shooting the arrow promised him with tears in his eyes: "Brother, you take a step first, and I will avenge you! Go down and take a place for me! I'll be there in a while!"

The wounded soldier slowly closed his eyes, the blood slowly spread under his body, and was quickly frozen...

This kind of scene is staged at the top of the city at any time, but no one has time to pay attention to this matter at this time. The auxiliary soldiers pulling the cart are also used to seeing blood at this moment. Many of them have thrown off their shirts and are shirtless. Steaming all over his body, under the command of the gunner, he roared and tried to pull the rope in his hand at the same time, smashing stones into the city.

The archers shot straight at this moment, their shoulders were sore, but they continued to draw their bows, shooting the arrows they could catch around the city wall to their heart's content.

But today, the Koryo army seems to be crazy too. They pressed up in teams regardless of casualties. A large number of ladders began to approach the city wall, and were successfully built on the city wall. The Koryo army shouted frantically, holding a shield One scrambled to climb up the ladder.

Looking at the densely packed enemy army below the city, Kong Qingxi couldn't help but feel a chill running down his back, and finally he couldn't help shouting: "Gunpowder pack! Light up the gunpowder pack! Throw me down with a throwing cart and blow up these bastards!"

So the fuses of several gunpowder packs were immediately ignited and placed in the basket of the three-point gun. The gunners immediately pulled the ropes and threw the packs out.

These medicine bags are not small, each one is full of gunpowder of [-] to [-] catties. After falling into the enemy group, they rolled over, and then suddenly a dazzling fire flashed out, shaking the earth stand up.

Around the explosion point, a white circle spread to the surroundings immediately formed, the snow was blown by this violent air wave, and spread to the surroundings continuously, a huge cloud of smoke rose from the ground, and the shattered corpses Accompanied by broken stones flying all over the sky in the sky, and then falling like rain, the loud noise is the most lethal thing. Some Koreans didn't even get hurt at all, so they fell to the ground. He was so shocked that his seven orifices bled, and he either died or passed out on the spot.

After the ground shook several times in a row, it became quieter again. At this time, a rain of blood fell from the sky. Some Korean soldiers covered their ears in horror, sat on the ground and cried, while some Korean soldiers grabbed their hands and fell on the ground. The unknown piece of flesh on his body screamed crazily, and even lost the weapons in his hands. Obviously, these people have been frightened crazy. They don't know what it is and why it is so scary.

Some advancing Korean soldiers finally couldn't take it anymore, and started to turn around and run back. The snow on the ground had already been trampled into mud, and they yelled and retreated step by step.

Buckets of boiling water, hot oil, and even lead juice were poured down the city wall, causing the Koreans on the ladders to fall down screaming and screaming. Groups of Koreans fell to the ground outside the city. The ground was covered with blood and corpses of Koreans. Some wounded could only howl helplessly under the city without any help.

When the Fubo army launched such a counterattack, it also paid a great price. When some soldiers were standing up to release arrows, or throwing stones, or pushing down the ladder, they were hit by the arrows shot up from the front and fell on their backs. But as long as there is still a breath, these soldiers will climb up again with arrows and continue to fight until they have no strength at all. In the end, someone chooses to jump out of the battlements and hold Goryeo who has just climbed up the city wall. The soldiers rolled down together and fell to their deaths under the city.

This kind of battle has already reached a fever pitch. At this moment, everyone is red-eyed and turned into a group of bloodthirsty beasts. They all understand that after breaking the city, their fate is better than being killed in vain. It's better to fight for one to make enough money, and to fight for two to earn one!

"Brothers, kill me! My lord is on my way now. As long as I survive today, my lord will come to save us! Kill me!" Kong Qingxi, covered in blood, shot one of them from the battlements. The Goryeo soldier who was protruding from everywhere stabbed him down, then grabbed the waist knife of a Goryeo soldier who had climbed up the city wall, and kicked him in the stomach, causing the guy to fly upside down from the city wall with a scream. It fell down until the screams stopped abruptly.

Several soldiers stepped forward desperately and pushed the ladder away from the city wall. This process cost a few more lives. After Kong Qingxi wiped out the enemy army in front of him, he turned around and screamed wildly at the brothers on the top of the city. It was time to let them know that Xu Yi was coming soon.

So the Fubo army on the city wall once again cheered and drove the Koryo army off the city wall as if they had been given a booster.

This kind of fierce battle lasted until noon, and both sides paid a heavy price. An Youjin frowned. It had been almost half a day, but until now his soldiers still failed to climb the city wall of Kaizhou City. It was the heavy losses that made his lieutenants feel unacceptable, and the explosive things thrown in the upper city lowered the morale of his soldiers to the extreme. For this reason, he had to kill A group of soldiers who fled back drove the army back to the battlefield.

"My lord! The general doesn't understand why we are attacking the Fubo army so desperately. If we continue to fight like this, we will lose too much. Otherwise, let the troops withdraw and take a rest!" A lieutenant general watched as a team attacked The troops under the city were beaten and maimed one after another, and they couldn't help but persuade An Youjin.

"Shut up! We are no longer fighting for the Kingdom of Jin, but for ourselves! At this time, we cannot stay outside the city, and this has something to do with the face of the Kingdom of Korea. If we even have a small If the entire Kaizhou city can’t be defeated, wouldn’t the world make people laugh at our Koryo country? It’s hard for us, and the Fubo army in the city is even harder! Their losses are not small! Even if they can’t hold on, they will hold on first Don't stop! Don't be too long-winded, back off!" An Youjin said stubbornly.

The deputy general opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't speak, so he shook his head and walked aside.

At this time, the situation in the city also became very dangerous. A soldier rushed to the east wall, found Kong Qingxi and shouted: "Report to Commander Kong, cracks are beginning to appear on the wall to the north of the city, brothers can't stand it anymore! Please!" My lord, quickly dispatch troops to support!"

"Where is Tong Laosan? What does he eat? The soldiers in the city can't move, you go back and tell Tong Laosan, even if everyone is dead, you have to stand up for me!" Kong Qingxi stood in a pool of blood on the city wall covered in blood. Among them, there was heat on his head and he said angrily.

"Report to Commander! Brother Tong has died in battle! Now Zhang Youde is instructing the brothers to continue to fight the Koreans!" the soldier who reported the letter cried.

Kong Qingxi opened his mouth, and his heart trembled. Tong Laosan was also an owl general he brought out with his own hands, but he unexpectedly fell into Kaizhou City, but he still gritted his teeth and said to the soldier: "Then You go back and tell Zhang Youde to stand up for me! Now is not the time to use the fighters, even if he dies in battle, stand up for me!"

With tears in his eyes, the soldier who reported the letter replied with gritted teeth, "Yes! I will go back and tell Zhang Youde right away! Even if we are all dead, the Koreans cannot be allowed to climb the city wall!" An arrow just hit the man's shoulder, and he staggered on the city wall, but immediately stood firm, without even looking at the arrow on his shoulder, and continued to run away.

The battle has been fought to such an extent that there is no need for anyone to direct it anymore. Everyone has gone crazy, almost mechanically fighting the enemy non-stop, and fresh lives fell on the city wall. The blood almost It dyed the top of the city red, and condensed into a layer of blood ice. When you step on it, you can't leave your feet. The air is filled with thick smoke and the smell of blood, but who cares about this right now!

After nearly an hour of fierce fighting, the Leigong cannons on the top of the city fell silent, all the shells had been fired, and the gunpowder was basically used up. These gunners also dropped the Leigong cannons and picked up With a knife and a gun, he stood at the battlement and became an ordinary soldier.

Under the constant bombardment of the Koreans, the city wall was smashed everywhere, and cracks appeared in some places, but the Koreans had no intention of retreating. Close to the city wall, it is almost impossible to move forward by stepping on corpses. Both sides have been exhausted since the morning fight, but under An Youjin's order, the battle is still continuing helplessly.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of cannons in the south of the city, and then a group of shells slammed into the flanking formations of the Goryeo Army, causing the Goryeo Army to immediately become chaotic. Startled by the violent roar, they collectively turned their gazes to the south, only to see a group of black-armored soldiers and horses suddenly appearing in the open area to the south, countless flags fluttering with the hunting north wind, and a large The flag is embroidered with the word Fubo, which is a big one, with gold thread.

Five hundred cavalrymen were waving sharp swords in their hands, roaring and galloping their horses, and the snow raised by the horseshoes was flying all over the sky. Behind them, dozens of artillery were shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

"My lord has finally arrived!" Kong Qingxi suddenly felt as if he was about to sit down, and his eyes couldn't help getting a little moist.

Immediately, there was another round of cheers from the top of the city. The people who were exhausted did not know where they came from, and they broke out again. hit down.

"Open the city gate! The fighters out of the city!" Kong Qingxi turned around and yelled at the city. As soon as the words fell, his body shook and he fell down. After seeing Kong Qingxi, he saw a carved feather arrow sticking out of Kong Qingxi's back...

Under the leadership of Zheng Guang, five hundred soldiers in iron armor rushed out of the city gate like a torrent, and chased after the retreating Koryo army. Everyone's eyes were red. They were captured in the city just now. He was ordered not to go to the city to fight, and he could only watch helplessly as the brothers on the top of the city fought bloody battles. He was already going crazy.

Moreover, they all saw the scene of Kong Qingxi's fall. At this time, the city gate was slowly opened. Zheng Guang roared with tears in his eyes, raised the simple knife in his hand, and rushed out at the first. They all let out a roar of anger, straightened their weapons, screamed strangely, followed behind Zheng Guang, and rushed out of the city.

These people are like crazy tigers, killing everyone they see, they are completely desperate, regardless of their own life and death, and those Koreans who saw the reinforcements of the Fubo Army appearing in the south of the city have no heart at this time. Keep fighting, after a round of artillery fire, they completely collapsed, left their injured robes one after another, turned around and fled like the ebb tide.

An Youjin also became flustered at this moment, and he did not expect that under such weather, the reinforcements of the Fubo Army would rush from the direction of Suzhou Pass against the wind and snow. As far as he knew, when the troops were dispatched , there is still a fleet going to attack the Suzhou Pass, so he focused all his attention on the direction of Fuzhou, and didn't pay much attention to the south. In addition, all his attention today was on the siege, and he didn't pay attention at all. Unexpectedly, the Fubo army arrived here so quickly. When he found soldiers and horses appearing in the south of the city, he wanted to dispatch troops to stop them, but found that he didn't even have a decent reserve team at hand!
