Chapter 1249

Soon, in the Tang army, more stone bombs flew into the air and flew directly towards the town.

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

"Boom..."

Tian Yu has not used dozens of catapults that he made last night. His main purpose is to lead out the Garrison's catapults and destroy them at one stroke. Of course, if there is no catapult in the town, it doesn't matter. After all, such a town level territory doesn't have to be attacked by a catapult. He is sure that with the support of these 20 wells, he will be able to capture Hukou town.

Tang army's first round of stone throwing destroyed two stone throwing machines in the city. You know, the stone throwing machine is more difficult to hit than Jinglan. What's more, the joint army's stone throwing machine is still hiding behind the town wall, so Tian Yu is very satisfied with the effect of the first round of stone throwing.

"If the catapult continues to attack, the crossbow soldiers will not stop. They will suppress the enemy, and the infantry will be ready to attack the city with ants!"

On the nest car in the town, Xu Huang's face was as deep as water. He saw that his own side was completely beaten by the Tang army, but he had nothing to do. The gap between his strength was here. They only used several cities to fight against each other's country. Sooner or later, they would lose.

"General, let the cavalry attack!" A general nearby said: "we can't be so passive, otherwise it will be bad for morale."

Xu Huang shook his head: "it's no use. We only have 4000 cavalry, not to mention the other side has 5000 cavalry. Even the terrain outside the town is not suitable for cavalry. Once these cavalry go out, it's just the intention of the Tang army to encounter our cavalry in this narrow terrain. With the shrewdness of the other side's general, they will seize this opportunity to hurt the cavalry, It's more cost-effective than fighting in the field. "

Behind Xu Huang, Liu Bao also stood there. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xu Huang's words and agreed: "General Xu's words are not bad. In fact, the purpose of some cavalry to come to support is to cover the general and his party's evacuation. A certain patriarch and a military strategist have said that if Hukou town can keep the rules, but can't, it must withdraw as many troops as possible to dingyang City, so as to save more troops to defend dingyang. "

When the deputy general was about to speak, he was stopped by Xu Huang: "needless to say, the meaning of the Lord is the same as that of general Jiang. Originally, he was going to delay as much as possible in Hukou town and kill as many Tang soldiers as possible. It seems that I underestimate Tian Yu."

"General, we'll wait here?" "No, we won't be able to keep it for long. Now you are leading a thousand soldiers to retreat from the north gate to the West ten miles away, and build a simple wall there. We must try to block each other at every level, so that we can have a chance to withdraw to dingyang. There is also general Liu Bao. When the army retreats, it must be swept by cavalry."

"General Xu, don't worry. The cavalry of a certain family came to cover your retreat." Seeing this, Liu Bao patted his chest and assured him;

"also, deputy general Zhou, immediately send someone to report the situation here to the Lord, so as to make dingyang city well prepared." With that, Xu Huang handed his temporary war report to the deputy general and asked him to arrange for someone to send it to dingyang immediately.

As Tian Yu and Xu Huang expected, the Allied catapults in the town suffered heavy losses in less than an hour, almost half of them, while the Tang army outside the town suffered very little.

By this time, the Tang army had filled all the ditches outside the town. Tian Yu then ordered throwing stones to attack with all his strength. After five rounds, the soldiers attacked the town wall.

As time goes on, although Xu Huang didn't show his face, he had to admit in his heart that he underestimated the Tang army. The space above the town wall was really limited, and his troops could not be used. But for the Tang army, the same result was achieved. However, Xu Huang found that the elite of the Tang army was far beyond his expectation.

It's only half an hour since the battle began, but the Tang army has made several breakthroughs on the town wall. Seeing this, Xu Huang immediately sent more troops from the town to the town wall, but Tian Yu also seized the opportunity and sent another 1000 soldiers to the town wall.

Unfortunately, after half an hour of gluing, the Tang army was still unable to stand on the town wall. Tian Yu, who was in the middle of the army, saw that the soldiers and soldiers had lost their spirit, and he no longer insisted on it. He said to the pro guards around him, "send orders and call for the soldiers to stop. When the soldiers withdraw 50 steps away, Jinglan and the catapult will make a covering attack on the town!"

Soon the Tang soldiers retreated. Fifty steps away from the town wall, Jinglan and the catapult began to attack the town wall and inside.

After nearly two hours of fighting just now, the garrison in the town has lost hundreds of people, but the number of Tang troops outside the town is almost the same as that of the garrison. The main reason is that the Tang army has an overwhelming advantage. The arrow rain and throwing stones have caused great losses to the garrison in the town.

On the contrary, the damage of the garrison to the Tang army was only concentrated on the fighting period above the town wall, so it had such an effect. If Xu Huang didn't have a good command of the war, and every time he transferred reinforcements to the town wall, maybe the town would have been broken in the first round of attack."Will the attack continue, general?" At Tian Yu's side, a member of the general led the way;

"the taxi just pulled down and returned to the camp to rest. Jinglan and the catapult continued to attack. A quarter of an hour later, the first division of School B of Yingying camp was transferred to attack, and the second division of School B was ready!" Without hesitation, Tian Yu ordered,

"no!" There's a messenger on his way.

A moment later, a thousand men team of taxi soldiers came out, 150 steps south of the town wall, and began to prepare for the attack.

Inside the town, on the nest car, Xu Huang also saw the movement of the Tang army outside the town, and immediately ordered: "come on, exchange a soldier to the city wall, stand by, and be ready to support the soldiers on the town wall."

It's not that Xu Huang didn't want to change the soldiers on the town wall, but it was too late. The Jinglan and the catapult of the Tang army didn't wait for the soldiers to withdraw to fifty paces before they started to attack. Let Xu Huang not dare to order the soldiers to leave the position that can be covered on the town wall. At least he has a greater chance to live there. If he walks around at this time, he will be smacked into meat mud in all probability.

Soon there was a personal guard to send orders, and another soldier who had been prepared was led by the general to the direction of the town wall. However, they stopped forty or fifty steps behind the town wall, waiting quietly for the catapult of the Tang army to stop attacking.
