Chapter 1158 Attacking Kaijiang City (Zhong)(2)

After all, some soldiers were unprepared and were shot by the crossbow.

Even though the armor of the Song Dynasty was extremely defensive and too close, it could not resist the power of the crossbow.

Some soldiers were shot directly by arrows.

After the arrow with great kinetic energy penetrated their bodies, they flew back several meters away with their bodies before landing on the ground.

"kill!"

But no one retreated among the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.

They shouted and killed, swarming towards the city gate.

Someone raised his gun and fired in the corridor.

Behind the crossbow, a Hu Ben army soldier was shot and fell to the ground.

The smell of blood quickly spread in the corridor.

Some crossbows even had sky-blasting thunder tied to the head, which made the Song Dynasty imperial guards a little damaged.

This corridor seems to be in a tug-of-war.

The Tianxiong Army remained in the military formation outside the city. Liu Zijun was holding a telescope and looking at the city gate. There were two generals next to him.

One of them suddenly asked, "Captain, will we just let the soldiers attack the city like this increase... casualties?"

This man is burly and rough in appearance. He is the general Monto who served in Boyan before.

Since surrendering, he has been through many twists and turns, and is now the Du Yuhou in Tianxiong's army.

This position is not high, but it is also good. At least, compared to Zhang Hongfan, who also surrendered, he is already taking a big advantage.

You know, as the head coach, Zhang Hongfan had a higher status than Monto, but now he is still just a mere waiter.

After hearing Monto's words, Liu Zijun nodded slightly, "This is inevitable."

Monto's face showed a puzzled look, "Why are you, commander..."

Liu Zijun said: "Kuizhou is faintly surrounded, we cannot waste too much time in Kaijiang City. Moreover, the soldiers practiced so many times in the military camp, so I have to see how they are really capable. There are always some places that cannot be taken into account in the exercises. Only in such actual combat can their shortcomings be seen. There are not many Tiger Ben Army in the city, and we can afford to lose money. If the enemy finds the disadvantages, they may suffer huge casualties."

He pointed his hand towards the city gate, "How much casualties would you have to suffer if you attack a big city like Chongqing and Kuizhou when the city gate is blocked?"

Monto was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "I can't estimate."

The city gate corridor in Chongqing and Kuizhou is much wider than that in this mere Kaijiang City.

"These fools!"

As he was talking, Liu Zijun suddenly cursed, "Do you know that you are so stupid and use the Shenlong gun to fight against the sky thunder? How about handing them the crawling attack?"

Undoubtedly, he was a little dissatisfied with the army being blocked at the city gate.

Although he did not dispatch a crossbow chariot during the exercise in the military camp, he felt that the soldiers should have the right to get it.

And just as he finished speaking, a general finally reacted at the gate of the city.

Judging from the style of his armor, he is a powerful general.

Seeing that soldiers were shot to death on the suspension bridge one after another, he was glaring at the sight, but at this moment, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

Then he shouted: "Craw forward! Craw forward!"

This is the basic offensive method they trained in the military camp.

A soldier who heard his shout quickly realized that he immediately lay down on the ground.

Although the crossbow cart is powerful, it has the disadvantage that it can only exert its maximum power when shooting flat.

As more and more imperial guards of the Song Dynasty lay on the ground, many crossbows were shot in the air.

The imperial guards crawled on the ground crawled into the corridor.

One after another, the crossbow drivers from the Hu Ben Army fell to the ground with guns.

Although some people want to throw thunder into the corridor, their speed is far faster than the Shenlong Gun. Often, before they can throw their hands, they are shot to death by the Shenlong Gun.

The thunder exploded on the spot, which made their own formation a little messed up.

Although it only changed from low-profile attack to crawling attack, the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were able to gain the upper hand in the tunnel tug-of-war.

They spread into the corridor at an extremely fast speed.

With the intensive gunshots, the Hu Ben Army's crossbow formation was quickly broken.

Some soldiers were disgusted and ran to the back.

The city gate was broken.

The Song imperial guards behind were not suppressed by crossbows, and even spread to the city.

A general shouted loudly: "Free shooting! Free shooting!"

This is also the subject of the Imperial Guard's secondary and long-term training.

Although there are special forces in each army, the training of these ordinary imperial guards is not much weaker than that of special forces.

In this era, they can all be regarded as soldiers like kings.

The Shenlong Gunners who entered the city were just like tigers entering the flock of sheep, running away, and still maintaining a moving and shooting state while running.

This made the Hu Ben Army soldiers who were waiting for the battle in the city a little stunned.

Because in their expectation, they thought that the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty would charge face to face with them. This should be a common way of fighting in this era.

Who would have thought that these Song troops would actually be dispersed?

The power and range of the Shenlong Gun naturally made these soldiers complain.

The large-scale ordnance in the army could not achieve the effect, so they could only use the bows and arrows in their hands to shoot against the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.

But how many archers can there be in the entire army?

As more and more imperial guards of the Song Dynasty rushed into the city, the sound of cannons outside the city gradually became completely silent.

Some soldiers climbed to the top of the city.

Then in just a moment, the Song Dynasty flag was raised on the top of the city.

The west wall of Kaijiang City was completely captured.

Although there are still soldiers of the Hu Ben Army here to resist stubbornly, judging from the current situation, their destruction is only a matter of time.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty did not encounter as strong as they imagined.

A general raised suspicion and ordered the scout to run outside the city.

After rough estimates, the entire Xicheng Gate had only a few thousand people. And there was no way that there were only such a few Tiger Army in Kaijiang City.

The scouts ran outside the city and immediately reported the situation to Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin.

After Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin learned the news, they were just a little confused, and then such shouts rang out from the army, "Clothing circular formation! Clothing circular formation!"

The soldiers of the grenade launcher battalion in front of the army carried the grenade launcher and rushed into the depths of the formation.

A soldier carrying a shield spread outward, slamming the shield to the ground.

Inside, the cavalry dismounted and all raised their guns toward the outside.

There were only two gaps in the two circular formations, and within this gap were the heavy cavalry among the imperial guards.

Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun both saw Hu Ben Army soldiers hurried down to the city on the top of the city. Although it was impossible to determine whether the Hu Ben Army would counterattack and leave the city, it was obviously not troublesome to set up such a defensive formation. Even if the Hu Ben Army did not leave the city, they would reorganize their formation and go to the city.
