Time Traveling: I Engaged in City Defense in Ancient Times

Yongcheng is the last big city on the border of Jokhang, needless to say, its towers are majestic. It has been several months since Nanyu troops attacked Yongcheng, and there are still spray-like black spots all over the city walls.

Those are the blood left by the soldiers who once shed blood on the city wall.

The Nanyu army had already been forced back to Yongcheng by Guo Xiaofeng, and they knew that if they couldn't defend Yongcheng, their invasion would be a complete failure.The Nanyu army lined up in awe outside the city, and it turned out to be a decisive battle.

Ji Cheng and the others are now on the slope outside Yongcheng, with hundreds of catapults behind them, but they are not throwing stones, but mines.Land mines can be buried under the city walls in the battle of defending the city, but it is more appropriate to throw them at will in the battle of siege.

When attacking the city, first use landmines to bombard the city, and wait for the opponent to have no resistance, and then attack the city with infantry, followed by cavalry.The reason why the Nanyu army was able to retreat so quickly was largely because Dazhao had this extremely lethal and shameless firearm.

That landmine can blow up a big hole no matter where it is thrown, let alone a person.This time, the Nanyu imperial court also sent the king's division. They made great contributions to the war in Nanyu, but they didn't want to fight this battle so aggrieved.

In this last battle, they also showed the last courage and temper of a soldier, vowing to fight with Jokha to the death.

The white cloud flag with a black background in Nanyu fluttered in the wind, sometimes stretched and sometimes huddled together. The sky was as blue as a cloud without a single cloud, leaving only the solitary sun roasting people on it.

A few crows on the treetops yelled eerily.Guo Xiaofeng said in a deep voice, "Are you all ready?"

Ji Cheng solemnly said: "General, everything is ready."

"Siege!" Guo Xiaofeng's voice was not loud but loud.

With the muffled sound of ox horns and the heavy drums and hammers beating everyone's heart, the Nanyu army took the lead in mobilizing, but before Dazhao's catapults threw mines, the Nanyu soldiers separated into two columns from the city gate, and then the city gate It opened with a bang.

When the city gate was opened, huge and messy footsteps resounded, and the whole earth shook, like some giant beast rushing out of the city.Under such a situation, all the generals of Dazhao changed face.

After a roar, Ji Cheng immediately reacted and shouted: "Catapult, quickly throw the mines!"

As soon as the giant foot fell out of the city gate, Ji Cheng took a closer look, this thing... this thing turned out to be an elephant!These elephants didn't know what tricks the Nanyu people used. They all rushed out of the city gate in a frenzied manner, and went straight to where Ji Cheng and the others were.

Those elephants actually reached dozens of heads. If this thing breaks into the Jokhang army, they will be trampled to death one by one as ants!

Elephants are a specialty of Nanyu, but Yongcheng is still separated by two mountain passes from Nanyu. They have occupied Yongcheng for so long, and it is not difficult to transport these elephants over several months.

The landmines thrown by the catapult exploded among the elephants. Although the elephants were fed medicine, their instincts were still there.Countless explosions sounded, and the elephants fled in panic, and a dozen or so had already run to them in the blink of an eye.

Guo Xiaofeng shouted: "Retreat! Retreat one after another!"

Ji Cheng said anxiously: "Brother, let Shenjiying come up."

The will of man was not pushed to a desperate situation, and he could not use all of it. Ji Cheng stood at the front of the Shenji camp with his firecracker on his shoulders. He aimed at the nearest elephant and fired the firecracker without hesitation.

Although the thick-skinned elephant Ji Cheng hit him right away, he couldn't kill him immediately, but it also made the elephant turn around and run away immediately.

Clap clap!After a burst of gunshots, these elephants finally ran elsewhere, but many soldiers on the two wings still suffered.

Frightened by the gunshots, the elephant almost ran away, followed by the cavalry from Nanyu.Nanyu's plan is to use elephants to buy time. First, elephants will be used to suppress the formation, and then cavalry will be behind.

The horses were running so fast that they were approaching in the blink of an eye. Ji Cheng was standing at the forefront of the whole team, and saw the Nanyu vanguard rushing forward. The vanguard raised his hammer and came straight towards Ji Cheng.

"Ji Cheng! Get out of the way!" Guo Xiaofeng roared desperately, the hairs all over his body stood up for a moment, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Even though Guo Xiaofeng gritted his teeth anxiously in the back, the person standing in front of the formation remained as motionless as a mountain.The Nanyu vanguard was less than two feet away from Ji Cheng. He raised his firecracker and pointed it straight at the Nanyu general. He pulled the firecracker and shot him in the head!

The Nanyu pioneer fell down immediately, but his leading horse was still galloping rapidly, and all the people watching all this behind him raised their hearts to their throats. .

The war horse ran up to Ji Cheng. The war horse seemed to have understood human nature. He raised his kicks high and wanted to trample Ji Cheng to death. Ji Cheng bowed down and pulled out the long knife at his waist like the wind. Quickly rushed under the horse's belly.

He raised the sword with both hands, and the horse passed over his head.The scarlet horse's blood poured down like a basin, spraying all over the ground.

Ji Cheng got up quickly, and ran after the portrait.The cavalry from Nanyu also followed.

"Shenji Battalion, the second team is on!" Wu Qing said immediately.

The Shenji Battalion has a staff of 3000 people. This time they only brought out 2000 people, and the remaining 1000 people stayed in the capital to protect Liang Ye.

Although only 2000 people were brought out, the Shenji Battalion formed a team of three.Of the three, one aimed, one filled the ammunition, and the other pulled and fired.

The purpose is not to let the gunfire stop, so that the enemy can take advantage of it.

The reason why Ji Cheng didn't hide from the vanguard who was approaching the front of the formation just now was because the cavalry was very excited.You have to wait until he rushes to the front of the formation, there is no way to hide, no way to avoid, before he can finish it with a single shot.

As soon as he turned over to his horse, he was kicked on the thigh, and Guo Xiaofeng yelled hysterically: "You are stepping on the horse to seek death!"

If something happened to Ji Cheng right under his nose, let alone his younger brother, even his uncle would be able to pick him off.

"Hey hey, big uncle," Ji Cheng had no choice but to flatter him and said, "Don't talk to Xiao Linzi when you go back."

"Just wait," Guo Xiaofeng really scared him enough, he gritted his molars and said, "Will you tell me or not? If I don't, I'll call you uncle!"

Ji Cheng said heartily: Uncle, please don't, why did I do this.

These cavalry who rushed to the front of the Dazhao formation had no idea that besides landmines, Dazhao actually had such a thing that could kill people when fired.They couldn't even scold them shamelessly, so they became living targets one after another.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the cavalry at the back retreated immediately, but Guo Xiaofeng didn't allow them to escape.

When they went out, they brought out 11 soldiers and horses, and the army attacked Liangcheng. Because of the magic weapon of landmines, the loss was not large. Now there are at least 15 soldiers and horses.

Nanyu invaded Dazhao and dispatched a full 20 tiger and wolf divisions, and half of them are still lost.

"Array!" Guo Xiaofeng shouted: "Yanzi array!"

The Shenji Battalion retreated, and the Jokhang Army was headed by cavalry, and the two wings behind them formed a shape of a wild goose.Under the leadership of Guo Xiaofeng, the giant wild goose plunged straight into the center of the Southern Chongqing Army.

Guo Xiaofeng held it high. This was modified by the Ministry of Industry according to Ji Cheng's drawings. In the past, bows and arrows could shoot up to fifty feet, but after the improvement, they could shoot less than two hundred feet.

After a buzzing sound, the Nanyu flag on Yongcheng broke with a click, and the cloud pattern flag with a black background swirled down in the air, and when it fell to the ground, it was trampled into mud immediately.

Even if 10 people were to be hacked one by one with a knife, it would take ten days and a half a month to kill them.Seeing that the momentum was not good, the Nanyu Army immediately shrank its troops and planned to retreat into the city.

At this moment, Dazhao's catapult, the catapult, had already arrived at the base of the city, and he said, "Let go!"

Numerous iron arrows engulfed Nanyu soldiers and were nailed to the city wall of Yongcheng, and countless mines exploded at the gate of Yongcheng.The gate of Nayong City was destroyed by artillery fire within a few rounds.

This massacre of ten thousand people between heaven and earth lasted until dark before the Nanyu Army gathered the remaining troops and fled to the border of Nanyu.

The reason why the century-old city wall is towering is not because it is tall, but because too much blood has been poured.There was mourning outside the city, and the crow that followed that morning was pecking at someone's eye.

War has always been cruel. If the country is not strong, it can only be bullied by others, and the people will be reduced to pigs and dogs without dignity.

Yongcheng was occupied by Nanyu for nearly five months before returning to its own arms.Yongcheng is empty and empty, and the various shops on both sides of the road show the prosperity of the place.

Now it is a dilapidated scene, and there are many unattended human corpses on the side of the road, which have already rotted and stink.

Guo Xiaofeng and others entered the city, and after arranging the garrison and cleaning the battlefield, they waved their hands and said, "Leave 5000 people on the tower to prevent surprise attacks, and the rest should go and rest quickly."

Wu Qing, Jicheng, Xu Chen and others were all like blood gourds, and a large area of ​​blood could ooze out along the soles of their feet.If it weren't for the tired look, they would have thought they were the ones being stabbed.

The last occupied city of Dazhao was taken back, and the whole army was relieved.What they have to do now is to wait for the court to send officials to recall the fleeing people and restore the local people's livelihood as soon as possible.

And when the people in the capital heard the news, they almost wept with joy.Lin You's belly was already showing, and she held the little clothes she had just made for the child in her hand, and kept asking Yang Huai: "Really? I won! Then I didn't say when to come back!"

The son-in-law has been away for nearly half a year, and the entire palace has been depressed for half a year. Now the son is crying with joy, and the accompanying girls are also crying.

"Brother Fulang, the battle is over," Yang Huai said with red eyes, "It's not too soon for you to come back!"

"That's right, you're right," Lin You shouted out of the window, "Housekeeper! Everyone is rewarded with two taels of silver for the palace's happiness today."

"Yang Huai, hurry up, get the carriage quickly," Lin You got up from the couch in a jerk, his body was so nimble that he didn't look like he had a ball in his belly.

"Having a carriage?" Yang Huai was a little puzzled.

"Pair the carriage!" Lin You packed up his things and said, "I'm going to the temple outside the city to fulfill my wish!"
