Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Xu Rong laughed and said, "This must be the reinforcements from Baekje's territories south of Daishui. They came just in time! A certain military order was sent to mobilize a battalion of heavy cavalry and a battalion of light cavalry to defeat the Baekje soldiers in Jiangbei." Then he turned his head and said to Tai Shici with a smile: "Our brothers will go to the edge of the water in the south of the city for a walk, and also bring the so-called King of Baekje and these princes and grandsons who are bathed and crowned."

On the south bank of Daishui, several Baekje troops have joined together.But when they reached the edge of the water, they were just dumbfounded.Because the pontoon bridge on the river has been dismantled.Immediately afterwards, they found Liang Jun's warships cruising in the broad river, and they all shouted.Some crossbowmen have already started to draw their bows and shoot arrows at the warships.It's a pity that Liang Jun's galley warships are all closed decks. Let alone ordinary arrows, even rockets can hardly ignite the thick wooden decks. Those open Viking warships also have large shields on both sides of the ship. For armor, arrows are helpless against them.What's more, the range of the arrows is far from reaching these ships.

Soon, several ships sailed towards the shore where these Baekje soldiers gathered.Several Baekje generals who were leading the army suddenly turned pale with fright and became nervous, howling loudly: "Array, prepare to meet the enemy!" After several Liang Jun ships approached the shore, they stopped moving forward.

Someone on the boat shouted loudly in Fuyu dialect: "Baekje soldiers on the shore, listen. General Zhendong in Daliang wants to speak to you. Your king and all the lords and princes of Danlu City are in the hands of Liang Jun. If you don't want them to die Be honest, everyone!" After shouting these words several times, the people on the shore calmed down.

Then Xu Rong appeared on the top deck of a galley warship.Qiu Shouwang and those Baekje Danlu princes were also escorted to the deck.Liang Jun soldiers held torches and large shields and stood in front of Xu Rong and the princes of Baekje. The firelight illuminated the faces of the people clearly.Some people in the Baekje army on the shore suspected that Liang Jun was cheating, and this showed that what Liang Jun said was true.

Xu Rong took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "I, Daliang Tianjun, was ordered by the emperor to come to Haidong to set up Dongqingzhou, and to return this barren land to Wanghua. You and other Baekjes should belong to my royal paradise , if you can surrender immediately, the emperor of Daliang will regard you all as his subjects and treat them equally. If you don’t surrender, you will only be reduced to dust in front of our Daliang army.”

After the translator repeated Xu Rong's words in Fuyu language, the Baekje soldiers on the shore hesitated, and then seemed to argue with each other.However, they all spoke Fuyu language, and Xu Rong couldn't understand what they were saying.

After hearing this, King Chou Shou, who was bound by five flowers, struggled to squeak.It's a pity that his mouth was stuffed with a cloth ball, so he couldn't open his mouth at all.Xu Rong stabbed the oldest Liuli King with the scabbard in his hand.King Liuli hurriedly shouted in Fuyu dialect, "You obey the order of the general of Liang Jun and surrender quickly."

At this time, a blunt sentence came from the Baekje army: "We have to see what our king has to say before we can make a decision."

Xu Rong replied with a sneer: "You have no room for bargaining, you can either get caught without a fight, or you have to leave them all here."

Seeing what Xu Rong said, the Baekje Army suddenly turned around and retreated southward.Xu Rong laughed wildly and said, "Let's go? How could someone let you go away so easily!"

Chapter 726 Ambitious

In the wilderness on the south bank of Daishui, south of Weili City, all Baekjes rode horses with horses and galloped wildly, while those without horses spread their legs and galloped.However, their queues are still very neat. Obviously, they have reached an agreement on what to do next. The first thing to do now is to withdraw the troops to a certain place before making plans.The torches in their hands converged into a fire dragon, meandering towards the south.

But they didn't run for long when they heard the sound of horseshoes galloping like thunder from both sides.It turned out that Liang Jun already had a cavalry troop on patrol on the south bank, and a large number of Liang Jun's light and heavy cavalry crossed the water from the other two places with water, and after landing on the shore, they attacked the retreating Baekje soldiers from left and right. .

There were bursts of panic shouting from the Baekje army, and several generals commanded the Fuyu cavalry in the Baekje army to charge out to both sides, trying to restrain the Liang army's attack by cavalry against cavalry.But how could they be the opponents of Liang Jun's light and heavy cavalry.When Liang Jun Qingqi saw the enemy cavalry approaching, they already had bows and arrows in their hands, and they all pulled strings and shot arrows, and then slowed down their horses to let the heavy cavalry behind rush forward.

The Fuyu riders of the Baekje war cavalry in front of them were shot down by arrows one after another. The heavy cavalry of the Liang army roared to them, and their iron hooves directly crushed them and their war horses. The war cavalry swept away.In just a quarter of an hour, amidst the screams and wailing, these Baekje warriors were beheaded seven or eight times, and the rest had no desire to fight, and galloped away on horseback.

In the platoon of Baekje infantry that was rapidly evacuating to the south, the generals kept urging: "Quick! Speed ​​up, and those who don't want to die quickly follow up! We will be safe in the mountains!" But their marching speed has reached It is impossible to improve the limit.

When they were more than a hundred battles away from the edge of the mountains and hills to the south, the Liang Army's heavy cavalry finally stopped in front of them.Qingqi Feiyu also galloped to their vicinity, walking in the same direction as them, the arrows in the rider's hand kept shooting wildly, shooting towards the fleeing Baekje infantry like migrating locusts.

The thin leather and rattan armor on the Baekje infantry could not defend against such dense arrows, and it was impossible for them to raise their shields to defend while running.Therefore, they were massacred by random arrows and arrows.Also in just a quarter of an hour, the whole army collapsed, from retreating in formation to running around like disorderly scattered soldiers.

Those Qingqi flying feathers put away their arrows, pulled out their first knives and continued to chase. Every time they passed by a Baekje pawn, the sword flashed, and the Baekje pawn would fall forward and fall on the ground. Some even had their heads cut off, and rolled forward a few battles away.Some brave Baekje soldiers tried to fight back, but they often ended up being hit by horses and smashed to pieces.

The heavy cavalry of the Liang army in front also dispersed, intercepting and killing the scattered Baekje soldiers separately.The whole wilderness seems to have become a one-sided slaughterhouse.Batch after batch of Baekje soldiers were killed by Liang Jun. When they lost more than half, some of them were already insane, and some fell to the ground and begged to surrender.In the end, only a very small number of people fled into the mountain forests to the south.

Liang Jun rested in Weili City for two days before attacking again.They escorted Qiu Shouwang and these Danlu City Lords, and under the personal guidance of Danlu City Lords, they found various cities in Baekje and pulled them out one by one.Some of these cities and fortresses surrendered when they saw Liang Jun coming, while others resisted stubbornly.

On this day, Tai Shici's three thousand troops marched to a city called Xiongjin.This is the Danlu territory of King Liuli, and Fu Yukang, the son of King Liuli, has taken over the dominion over the entire city and two castles of Danlu.

At this time, Fu Yukang looked at the soldiers and horses of the Liang army who were forming a formation under the city, but his face was disapproving.A few days ago, he got the news from the comfort city, knowing that King Qiu, his old father, and several Danlu city lords had been captured by the Liang army.However, it was not he who was in charge at the time, but his elder brother, the eldest son of King Liuli.

Fu Yukang is an ambitious young man, but he is only the son of Liuli King's concubine. He can't even inherit the throne of Liuli King, let alone display greater ambitions.However, he smelled his own opportunity from the huge crisis of Baekje, and a bold plan came out of his mind, which was to unite with Sanhan and the gangsters who moved south to Lelang to drive the forces of the Liang Dynasty out of the peninsula. He can justifiably become the lord of Baekje, and even expand the power of Baekje to the north and south of the peninsula.

But the basis of all this is that he must first be the Lord of Woongjin Danlu.So he killed his elder brother and gave the reason to the generals in Danlu that his elder brother wanted to sacrifice Xiongjin to Liang Jun in exchange for the life of his father Liuli King.But whether this is really the case, no one knows.Among those generals, some of his elder brother's confidantes were also killed by him immediately, so no one pursued the matter any further.

At the moment, Fu Yukang has dispatched the troops of the other two Wubaos to the city of Xiongjin, and sent messengers to get in touch with several Mahan leaders who have a good relationship with him in the southeast. These Mahan leaders will promise that as long as Xiongjin City is destroyed When Liang Jun attacks, they will rush to support them as soon as possible.

The city of Xiongjin City rejected it out of danger. It was located on a high ground. In addition to the city wall, a low wall was built along the edge of the high ground as the outer city wall.Backed by mountains, a river nearly ten feet wide passes around the city in front of the highland where it is located, becoming a natural moat.The city has been expanded and strengthened by several generations of glazed kings, and there are countless traps for defense, such as rolling wood and beating stones.The granaries in the city were filled with all kinds of food and war materials, and the high ground outside the city was flat, and the waterfall pouring down from the cliff formed a pool on the high ground. This pool was also the upper reaches of the river that went around the city.There is a large piece of land next to the water pool to grow fruits and vegetables, and there are countless delicious fat fish in the water pool.

There are reinforcements outside, and there is a strong city inside with sufficient supplies. This is the reason why Fu Yukang is confident that he can defend Xiongjin City and let Liang Jun retreat despite difficulties.

At this time, Liang Jun had already lined up the army outside the city.Tai Shici had already inspected the topography of Xiongjin City from the sidelines. Such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain surprised Tai Shici who had experienced many battles.It is not easy to break into the outer city,

Either cross the moat, then climb the low cliffs as high as three or four battles, and then jump over the low walls to enter the outer city.During this period, the arrows, flying sickles, flying spears, rolling wood and rocks that attacked the Liang army could be imagined.

Or go around to the edge of the high mountains in the northwest, climb up the steep slope first, then move to the back of the high ground, and then dive down.But this kind of movement must be quite slow, and it will definitely suffer from the random arrows of the Baekje army in the city, causing huge losses.

Chapter 727

Under Xiongjin City, Tai Shici thought for a long time but couldn't think of a way to quickly conquer Xiongjin City with little loss.I had no choice but to try first to see if I could surrender the Baekje Army in Xiongjin City with Liuli King's old life.

Thinking of this, Tai Shici ordered: "Come here, bring the Liuli King up." After a while, Liang Jun soldiers escorted the Liuli King to the city of Xiongjin.

Tai Shici galloped out, followed by several of his own soldiers, and shouted in the direction of Xiongjin City across the river: "I, General Daliang, have asked the city's stewards to speak out!" He shouted several times, Only a few heads emerged from the low wall of the outer city directly opposite.

One of them was Fuyu Kang. "This is the Lord of Xiongjin Danlu. Who are you? What can you say?" Although his Chinese was blunt, Tai Shici could still understand it.

Tai Shici immediately replied: "This is Tai Shici, the general of Daliang, who has been ordered to pacify the land of Sanhan. Who are you from this Liuli King?" Looking at King Liuli, he asked.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yukang did not answer Tai Shici, but sneered and said: "Tai Shici, I advise you to leave this place early, this is the Haidong Peninsula that you Central Plains people have never touched, you can't stand here. If you If you don’t leave early, the consequences will be unbearable for you.”

There was a trace of killing intent in Tai Shici's eyes, and he seemed to be talking to himself in a low voice: "What a big tone, wait until we break through the city and see who can't bear it."

At this time, the Liuli King rushed to Tai Shici's side, and said: "General, this person is Xiao Wang's dog son, can someone tell him a few words to persuade him to give up resistance and sacrifice the city of Xiongjin. "

The reason Liuli King was so flustered was because Tai Shici had unwritten rules.In Baekje, whoever was in charge of Lu and refused to surrender to the Liang army killed his captured city lord on the spot to sacrifice the flag.Liuli King has gone through this kind of thing twice.

Tai Shici waved his hand when he saw that he came to ask for it.Liuli King was a few steps closer to Xiongjin City under the guard of several Liang Army soldiers.King Liuli also saw Fu Yukang who was a concubine standing on the top of the outer city, and he didn't care about asking about the whereabouts of his eldest son, so he shouted loudly: "My son Fu Yukang, open the city gate quickly and surrender, or you will surrender." Father's life is over."

Fu Yukang showed a feeling of grief and indignation, and said righteously: "My lord father is above me, and my son is defeated here. But when Baekje is in danger, how can I sacrifice the city for my own selfishness to the enemy army?" .It is necessary to resist to the end and drive this Liang army back to the Central Plains."

Seeing that he disobeyed his words, King Liuli yelled sullenly: "Niezi, this king won't talk to you, so quickly call your brother out. This king wants to tell him."

Fu Yukang sneered twice and replied: "Father, the eldest brother is dead. Because he conspired to defect to the Kingdom of Liang. So my son, in order to prevent the foundation of our ancestors from falling into the hands of others, I executed him pre-emptively. Now everything in Xiongjin City is The son has the final say."

Hearing this, King Liuli's face turned pale, and he pointed at Fu Yukang with trembling fingers and said, "You...you evil son, how dare you murder your brother and father. The soldiers in the city listen up. Zi Bingquan, open the gates of the city, and surrender the Liang army. Even if you disobey this king's military order... This king... Although this king can't punish you, you can't stop the offensive of Liang's army. We surrendered, but we died Baekje, but the race of our Buyeo people can continue. On the contrary, not only my Buyeo clan, but all the Buyeo people will be killed. At that time, you will be the chief culprits of the dead species!"

The Baekje soldiers on the city heard these words, did not take any action, and were still looking down blankly.But Fu Yukang sneered and said: "Father, there is an old saying in Central Plains that loyalty and filial piety cannot be balanced. For the sake of my Baekje cause, my son, I will not be able to take care of your life."

He had just finished speaking when he heard the sound of arrows piercing through the air.Two Liang Jun shieldmen hurriedly put the big shield in front of Liuli King, but under such a dense arrow, they were injured by the arrows and screamed twice.Fortunately, they had excellent ring armor protection and did not cause fatal damage.

Tai Shici gave an order with a livid face: "According to the old rules, after killing Liuli King to sacrifice the flag, launch a general attack on Xiongjin City. If Xiongjin City is broken, all Fuyu people will be executed."

Immediately, King Liuli was set up on a temporary wooden platform, and in the middle of the wooden platform stood a Liangjun battle flag and a wooden basin.The Liuli King kept wailing and begging for mercy: "It's not my fault that this scoundrel doesn't surrender. You can't blame me. I have tried my best to say that I surrendered to the defenders in the city. Please, General, spare your life...please spare your life."

But two Liang soldiers cut his hands back and forced him to kneel on the ground involuntarily. Another Liang soldier grabbed his hair bun and forced him to stretch his neck. The last Liang soldier hung his waist knife in the air .

With a flash of the saber, King Liuli separated from his head in an instant, and cheers erupted from Liang Junzhong.Liuli King's headless body fell to the ground, someone hastily connected the wooden basin to the neck of his corpse, and the fresh blood from his buttocks soon filled the basin.

There were rows of Xiandeng dead soldiers standing behind Liang Jun's army. Tai Shici first poured a bowl of strong wine mixed with Liuli King's blood for each of the Xiandeng dead soldiers.After everyone drank it all, they smashed the pottery bowl to the ground.Amidst the crackling sound, another soldier walked in front of them carrying a blood basin filled with the blood of Liuli King. Each of them dipped their index fingers in the blood in the basin and drew a mark on their face, and then picked up their own blood. With his weapon, he picked up all kinds of equipment and was ready to go.

The sound of drums and trumpets suddenly sounded in Liang Jun's army formation, and Liang Jun's shield wall and banners all over the sky began to move forward slowly, while orderly voices were issued.The bang of shouting in unison echoed in the valley unceasingly, appearing extremely powerful.

The speed of Liang Jun's army was getting faster and faster. When they approached the outer city of Xiongjin City, that is, the high ground was fifty battles away, the arrows on the city had already shot down at Liang Jun like flying locusts.Under the command of the general, Liang Jun raised his shields to form a semi-closed "turtle shell", but Liang Jun in the rear did not raise his shield to cover it, and the longbowman at the end began to stop and draw his bow to shoot back.At the same time, Liang Jun's ballista also began to bombard the low wall of the outer city of Baekje, throwing dozens of stone bullets and explosive bombs towards Xiongjin City.

Baekje's archers and crossbowmen have a range of only thirty or forty battles, and with the advantage of height, they can only extend the range of ten battles. Therefore, their arrows have little effect on Liang Jun's formation at the moment, but the arrows of Liang Jun's counterattack But they kept hitting the target, causing the Baekje soldiers behind the low wall on the high ground to scream from time to time after being hit by the arrow.

Liang Jun got closer and closer, and Baekje's arrows became more dense.The rhythm of the drums and horns in Liang Jun's formation was suddenly sideways, and several gaps were split in the front shield wall in an instant, and a large number of Liang Jun rushed out shouting...

Chapter 728 Woongjin Heights

The Liang Jun who rushed out were all the one out of ten dead soldiers who climbed first, and they rushed to the forefront with all kinds of equipment on their backs.The arrows of the defenders of Xiongjin City were too dense. In the distance of only five or six battles, the soldiers of the Liang army in the front row had been hit by an average of three or four arrows each.

However, most of these arrows can only slightly penetrate the ring armor of the soldiers of the Liang Army, causing flesh wounds without even being embedded in the flesh.Only a few people were fatally injured and fell to the ground.

One of the soldiers, carrying a strange machine on their shoulders, ran to a river under the high ground with arrows flying all over the sky, and then skillfully operated it, only to hear the sound of metal and wood rubbing from the machine. Afterwards, the instrument immediately spread out on the water surface, with densely arranged floating barrels on both sides, and the side facing the water is also made of bamboo tubes.

It turned out that this thing was a prefabricated pontoon bridge. The pontoon bridge was folded and overlapped when the loader was moving, and it was unfolded on the water surface to form a pontoon bridge.Just as the pontoon bridge was unfolded, there was a muffled sound from the canopy, and a soldier of the Liang Army in front with a five-foot-long spear on his body threw himself into the river.

"Be careful, the enemy army is equipped with crossbow guns!" Youliang soldiers began to exclaim.In fact, Baekje has not yet used its ability to manufacture and obtain the ballista, which was fired from one of the dozens of bed crossbows arranged on the outer city wall of Woongjin.

Although these dozens of bed crossbows with a low hit rate caused casualties to seven or eight soldiers of the Liang army, the soldiers who first ascended the Liang army still built more than ten pontoon bridges on the river.The rest of the first climbers quickly passed the pontoon bridge carrying the climbing ladder.

At this time, the arrows from behind the low wall on the high ground have become sparse.This is mainly beneficial to the covering bombardment of Liang Jun's crossbows with explosive bombs and stone bombs.A stone bomb hit the low wall which was less than four feet high and no more than two feet thick.

The explosive bombs also bloomed everywhere behind the low wall, and the rising flames gradually converged into one piece.Forcing Baekje's crossbowmen to retreat one after another.However, the outer city uses the highland terrain as a defense. The entire outer city is located on a high platform, with only the low wall at the edge serving as a battlement wall, and there is no artificially built city wall.Therefore, Liang Jun could not force the defenders down the city wall with explosive bombs as they did in the past when attacking the city, and took the opportunity to let their infantry climb the ladder to climb the city.

With many arrows stuck in their bodies, after crossing the river like hedgehogs, Liang Jun soldiers quickly set up dozens of hundreds of ladders along the cliffs of the highlands, and began to climb up densely like ants.In order to prevent accidental injury to their own people, Liang Jun's ballista players also stopped the ballista bombardment.

A soldier of the Liang Army, who was climbing up with a thickened shield and a two-foot short knife in his mouth, was still five feet away from the top of the city when a huge boulder weighing nearly a hundred fell on his head with a loud bang. The shield and his arm had been shattered into several pieces by the boulder.The whole person was also directly thrown off the ladder by the boulder, and when he fell to the ground, he was already a bloody mess.

Immediately afterwards, the body of a Baekje soldier whose chest was pierced by a heavy arrow also fell, and fell right behind the boulder, with his head shattered.This soldier was the Baekje soldier who threw the boulder, and he was also sniped by Liang Jun's longbowman at the moment the stone fell.

The soldiers of Liang Jun braved rolling trees and beating stones, and finally someone climbed to the edge of the high ground first. Unfortunately, the low wall in front of him was not breached.Just when he was about to climb over the wall, a crossbow forcefully pierced through the ring armor on his belly from the shooting port, piercing his entire body, and the huge thrust made him fly backwards, slipping Falling below the bottom of the highland cliff.

Another Liang Junxian climbed to the top of the cliff. Fortunately, the low wall in front of him was completely collapsed, so he used his sword and shield to kill behind the wall.But as soon as he appeared in front of the gap, seven or eight spears stabbed at him intensively. While resisting the stabs of several spears with his shield, he threw the first knife in his hand fiercely. He came out, hit a Baekje soldier in the abdomen, and disemboweled him.But he himself was stabbed in the left and right ribs by two spears.

"Dangdangdangdang" the gong of Liang Jun's retreat suddenly sounded. It turned out that Tai Shici saw the fierce fighting from top to bottom of the city, and Liang Jun's loss was too fast. Entering the inner city, the inner city is the real Woongjin city.

Hearing the sound of the gong, Liang Jun retreated down the ladder one after another, and put the ladder down directly to avoid being destroyed by the Baekje soldiers, and then swarmed and retreated to the pontoon bridge.At this time, the Baekje soldiers on the high ground pushed more than a dozen trolleys equipped with small catapults to the edge area, and hurled boulders at the Liangjun floating bridge on the moat in a grand manner.The power of these catapults is limited, but within a short distance, they can still throw boulders weighing dozens or even hundreds of catties.

The falling boulders stirred up water splashes several feet high in the moat.Finally, a huge boulder just happened to fall on the pontoon bridge, not only smashing a Liang soldier to pieces on the spot, but also hitting the pontoon bridge twice.Dozens of soldiers of the Liang Army on the bridge fell into the water. They were wearing heavy ring armor and couldn't swim at all. They could only desperately hold on to any floating objects they could find nearby.In the end, several Liang soldiers disappeared into the water.

During the period when the Liang army was retreating, Tai Shici circled around Xiongjin City again, from northwest to southwest, and then from southwest to northwest, thinking hard about a strategy to defeat the enemy.A thought flashed through his mind, since Xiongjin City is located on a high ground, surrounded by rivers and backed by mountains.How do the people in the city go out of the city to communicate with the outside world.It is impossible to take the rugged and difficult trails in the high mountains.

Thinking of this, he observed more carefully.It turned out that the city gate of the outer city wall was found. This city gate was not an opening in the city wall like an ordinary city, but a cave dug in the cliff three or four times high on the high ground. There should be a stairway leading to the high platform in the cave. superior.But there is a khaki-colored gate at the entrance of the cave, which cannot be seen without careful observation.Outside the gate, there are still suspension bridge shafts erected on both sides of the moat, but the suspension bridge has long been dismantled.

Tai Shici muttered: "I don't know what material this gate is made of. If it's not made of copper and iron, someone has a way." He immediately called the longbowman and shot an arrow at the khaki gate.The arrow canopy was nailed to the door panel of the gate with a sound, Tai Shici's heart moved, and he thought to himself: "It's done!"

He immediately called the generals together again, had a brief pre-battle meeting, and made a new siege deployment.More than an hour later, the siege horn blared again,

Chapter 729 The Second Wave of Attack

At the head of Xiongjin City, Fu Yukang was obviously encouraged by the wave of Liang Jun's attack that had been repulsed before. Looking at Liang Jun who was killing him all over the mountains and plains again, he said confidently: "This time, I will let you lose a thousand more people. You are completely maimed!" Then he turned around and said to Ling Bing: "This king's military order, who kills the heads of Liang Jun, will reward each head with ten taels!" Of course, Fu Yukang is not that rich. In fact, it is brass, and Baekje uses brass, a precious metal, as currency.

The Baekje soldiers, whose morale was high even after a battle, heard what Fu Yukang said, and cheered thunderously, and their morale was boosted even more.

But this time, Liang Jun was not in a hurry to let the infantry attack, but continued to bombard the outer city of Xiongjin with ballistas.This ballista bombardment used all stone bullets, no longer using hot bombs.Because of his previous experience, Liang Jun knew that at this stage, the Baekje soldiers could avoid the covering bombardment of hot bombs by retreating a few battles, so using hot bombs was just wasteful and had no effect.

Stone bullets of various sizes blasted away one after another, and the pits and pits that were hit on the highland earth cliff, from time to time, stone bullets hit the low wall, or pierced through, or knocked down a gap in the low wall .After nearly two hours of bombardment, on the high platform of the outer city of Xiongjin City, there was no longer a foot of intact low wall that could provide cover for the soldiers in the rear.

At this time, the horns of Liang Jun's attack sounded one after another.Liang Jun was still the same as last time, the big shield moved forward slowly, and the longbowmen kept shooting at all the Baekje soldiers who dared to emerge from the high ground.It's just that Liang Jun's ballista stopped bombarding completely, and was busy changing positions.At the same time, a Liang army of more than [-] people has already marched towards the lofty mountains behind Xiongjin City.Three huge hot air balloons also soared into the sky, and all the people in the gondola were Liang Junchang archers.

The Liang army rushing to the vicinity of the moat was still the old routine, and the dead soldiers carrying the pontoon bridge rushed out from behind the shield wall and quickly laid out the pontoon bridge on the moat.The short-range catapults of the Baekje Army at the top of the city did not respond. In fact, this is not surprising. In the last round of Liang Army ballista bombardment, most of these catapults were either destroyed by stone bullets or forced to move backwards. Withdrew, letting Liang Jun crossing the river out of the throwing range.In addition, if they want to throw stones into the river, they must arrange the catapult close to the edge without the low wall to cover them. The catapults are easy to be killed by the archers of Liang Jun.

Liang Jun soon erected dozens of hundreds of ladders on the edge of the highland earth cliff, and the soldiers climbed up bravely.The Baekje soldiers who had retreated to the rear also rushed towards the edge of the high ground regardless of Liang Jun's heavy arrows.

One of the huge Baekje soldiers rushed forward with his upper body shirtless, and immediately picked up a huge boulder and wanted to throw it at the bottom of the cliff. The other two soldiers with shields also used their shields to cover him.It's a pity that their shields are too small, the big man just lifted the stone when he was shot through the chest by a heavy arrow that passed through the gap in the shield.He fell to the ground like a hill, and the boulder also fell on him.

Without the cover of the low wall, the casualties of the Baekje soldiers guarding the edge of the high ground increased significantly, which relieved a lot of pressure on the Liang army who was attached to the ants.However, the rolling wood and rocks continued to fall more or less, which also caused many casualties to Liang Jun.

At this time, there was a sudden loud bang, and the slamming door of Xiongjin City was being bombarded by twenty ballistas.These ballistas first threw bundles of strong firewood mixed with inflammable materials, and then fired a salvo of explosive shells.Twenty explosive bullets hit the gate, and the flames soared into the sky, quickly igniting the pile of firewood, and submerging the entire gate in a sea of ​​flames.

It's a pity that people on the high ground couldn't discover this situation in the first place because of the limited line of sight.When they found it, the wooden gate, which was half a foot thick and reinforced with iron hoops and copper rings, had been completely burned through.When Fu Yukang heard the news, he panicked and shouted: "Quick! Organize people to put out the fire, and we must put out the fire at the exit gate!"

Hundreds of Baekje soldiers rushed down the stairway with buckets in their hands, splashing basins of water on the gate.At this moment, with a loud bang, a huge stone bomb blasted a big hole in the gate that was about to be burned through, and then the stone bomb blasted the head of the famous Baekje general without a trace, leaving the headless corpse He fell straight to the ground.

Following this stone bomb, one after another continued to fly, and within half a quarter of an hour, the gate was blown to pieces.The soldiers of the Liang army who had crossed the moat were not waiting to climb the ladder, but held their shields and raised their guns, shouting and swarming towards the opened door.

On the top of the city, Fu Yukang, who had already received the battle report, was still panicked, and ordered: "Soldiers, don't panic, we just need to guard the exit of the stairs, Liang Jun will not come out so easily. We will behead every time they show their heads!" After that, he personally led his personal guards to the exit of the stairway. When he arrived, there were already a hundred Baekje soldiers forming a circle here.

At this time, there were bursts of shouts coming from the tunnel, and then two or three heads popped out from the exit of the stairway.Random arrows and hundreds of spears struck these heads, instantly turning them into a hive of flesh and blood.

Liang Jun in the stairway saw that the few people rushing in front turned into corpses and rolled down the stairway limply. He knew that there were people guarding above and could not attack forcefully. In addition, Tai Shici had explained in advance, so they all stood guard. In the stairway, no further progress.

Fu Yukang waited for a quarter of an hour, but he didn't see Liang Jun coming out of the cave, so he ordered: "Hurry up and carry the firewood and flammable things, throw them into the stairway and start a fire attack, and drive these mice out of the cave. "

After the Baekje soldiers got the order, they went to carry firewood and other inflammable objects.When a group of Baekje soldiers returned with firewood, a dozen fireballs suddenly flew across the sky and landed in and around the crowd centered on Fuyu Kang.Splashing naphtha and rising flames turned some Baekje soldiers into Burning Men, and Fu Yu Kang was almost killed.He was shocked and said: "How did Liang Jun's fireball hit here?"

The guards couldn't allow him to think too much, and hurriedly covered him and retreated towards the inner city.

In fact, Liang Jun formed a team of more than [-] people with mountain scouts as the backbone before the attack.They occupied a small platform with a radius of less than ten battles on the mountain on one side of Woongjin City, but this platform was enough to accommodate dozens of portable ballistas and more than a hundred longbowmen.Now, relying on this platform, Liang Jun is condescending, and can conduct relatively accurate ballista bombardment and longbow sniping at the targets of the Baekje Army on the Woongjin Heights.

Taking advantage of the time when the Baekje soldiers fled at the entrance of the stairway, a large number of Liang troops rushed up to the high ground, which is the outer city of Xiongjin City, through the stairway, including many giant ape soldiers.Only then did Fu Yukang understand that the outer city must not be able to defend.

Chapter 730 Woongjin Inner City

Woongjin Heights, Outer City.Liang Jun came out of the stairway continuously, first the infantry, and then the heavy cavalry rushed up along the ramps on both sides of the stairway.

On the edge of the high ground, a Baekje soldier raised a big rock and threw it at Liang Bing climbing up the ladder again. The big stone fell, and two screams came from below the high ground.When the Baekje soldier was about to hold the second stone, a sharp spear protruded from his chest, and he collapsed to the ground before he could even scream.

Baekje soldiers were rarely seen after the ruins of the low wall were destroyed. Most of them either turned around and fled to the inner city, or turned back to fight with the soldiers of the Liang Army who had been killed in the stairway.Therefore, the soldiers of the Liang army who climbed up from the ladder had almost no obstacles, and climbed up to the high ground one after another.

After a while, the entire highland plain was full of Liang Jun and Baekje troops chasing and fighting.Neither side has an army formation, and it is completely one-on-one catching and fighting.The sound of weapons, barking, people shouting and neighing merged into one sound.The rampant Liang Jun iron cavalry figures can be seen everywhere, and the tall giant ape warriors are even more eye-catching.

The Baekje soldiers with only [-]% to [-]% of Liang Jun's individual combat strength could resist Liang Jun. In a short time, there were no Baekje soldiers who fought against Liang Jun. They either died or rushed towards the inner city like desperately. go.But those who were unlucky were still chased by Liang Jun's cavalry and stabbed them, and died on the spot.

More than a dozen Baekje soldiers finally ran to the gate of the inner city, but at the moment when they were only a few feet away from entering the gate, the heavy gate was closed with a bang.More than a dozen people ran to the gate, shouting and beating on the city gate, but there was no response from the city.A heavy cavalry of the Liang Army came galloping, with a mace straight in their hands, and passed behind them.The big sticks hit the heads and bodies of Liang Jun soldiers one after another, cracking their brains and displacing their internal organs to death.

After a while, Liang Jun soldiers who captured the outer city of Xiongjin surrounded the inner city, and all four gates were sealed tightly.Fu Yukang's face at the head of the city turned extremely ugly, and he no longer had the confident look he had before.At this moment, he even felt a little bit regretful, regretting whether he had underestimated Liang Jun too much, regretting whether he should bow his head to the Liang Dynasty and make a comeback first, and then try to make a comeback.

In the end, he thought to himself, it is useless to regret now, so he can only make up his mind to fight Liang Jun to the death.Just thinking of this, a stone bullet weighing tens of kilograms was hitting the wall near him, and with the loud bang, the gravel hit his cheek, Fu Yukang caressed his face and shouted: "Ready to fight!" , as long as you can defend the inner city, when the reinforcements arrive, each person will be rewarded with ten taels!" A stream of blood flowed from his fingers.

Liang Jun has moved the ballista to the outer city, and set up the bombardment again.Obviously, Tai Shici didn't want to give Fu Yukang a chance to breathe.Liang Jun's ballista and stone bullets were basically used up when attacking the outer city, but now that they occupied the outer city, they could immediately recover the stone bullets scattered on the high ground and reuse them.

Stone bullets of different sizes continuously bombarded the inner city wall, and Fu Yukang, who was hiding behind the city stairs, could feel the entire city wall trembling.In the continuous bombardment, the battlements were destroyed one after another.A cracked buttress wall was hit by a stone bullet weighing several tens of kilograms, and it immediately fell off from the top of the city, exposing two Baekje soldiers hiding behind. At this time, the two Baekje soldiers Already in a dazed state, when they reacted and wanted to hide back, a few longbows and heavy arrows flew in, piercing their bodies through several holes.

The Baekje soldiers who were squatting behind the wall were forced to retreat.But then Liang Jun's ballistas and portable ballistas began to bombard the top of the city with explosive bombs, pouring all the last remaining explosive bombs towards the top of the city.The head of the inner city suddenly burned into a sea of ​​flames.From time to time, there would be burning men jumping down from the top of the city, screaming and panicking.

At the same time, ladders have already been erected one after another on this city wall. In addition to the ladders, there are also countless flying claw ladders fired by portable ballistas.Liang soldiers climbed up the ladder like ants.When they climbed to the top of the city, the fire had gradually subsided, and Liang soldiers stepped on the hot stone slabs of the top of the city and rushed to the depths.

Fu Yukang screamed in despair on the stairway behind the tower: "Give me, everyone, those who are afraid of the enemy and don't fight will be killed without mercy." He drew out his saber and beheaded a fearful man Baekje Elementary School, which is not in the past.Then he rushed forward with his own soldiers, and under his coercion and instigation, the rest of the Baekje soldiers rushed to the top of the city along the stairs with swords and shields again, fighting with Liang Jun.
