Section 39 Burmese Army
The sound of the "dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong" war drums sounded again. The soldiers who had already gathered had dispersed immediately according to the orders, and rushed towards the city wall that was waiting for the tall siege cars and the movable ladder. Behind them, pieces of stone rain accompanied by the creaking sound of the mechanical springs and arms of the giant stone caster, making a sharp scream, falling on the city head one after another, with blood splashing, and rippling limbs splitting, and shrill screams one after another. Since the defender's long-range strike weapons were already destroyed by the attacking party's concentrated attacks in the early battles, the defense no longer had the ability to curb waves of long-range strike attacks, and could only hide on the stomp of the city wall and rely on shields and stilts to avoid and block these huge rocks falling from the sky.
After paying a lot of money, the heavy arrow tower was finally pushed to the near wall. With the advantage of being condescending, it launched an arrow rain attack on the defenders at the city. The stair-type siege cars moved more satisfactorily. Often, a group of soldiers surrounded the siege cars and pushed to the city wall. There was only a few left, but once the siege cars were pushed under the city wall, it became a nightmare for the defense. The soldiers who rushed towards them could easily rush up to the city wall with the impact of running. At this time, the attack of bows, arrows, crossbows and arrows no longer played any role.
Face-to-face hand-to-hand combat is the only way to solve the problem; the movable ladder travels very quickly. With the help of the four pulleys at the foot of the ladder, the ladder, which is much lighter than the siege car, can be pushed to the city wall in a short time with the cover of the oar and shield soldiers. The fast climbing speed of the soldiers is enough to make the monkey ashamed. Soldiers who have undergone special climbing training can climb up the city wall in only two or three minutes. When countless ladders suddenly reach your feet, rolling crowds of people flocking to the city wall, that scene is enough to make anyone unforgettable.
The sound of war drums and the shouts of killing. The soldiers of Tiannan Army, dressed in ochre-brown clothes, were like a wave of floods passing by. From a distance, the flood had already flowed the city wall, but after the climax, the towering city wall stood in front again. After turning over and over again, countless attacks were rolling around. In addition to leaving countless bloody and bloody limbs and bodies, only the flag of the city tower still fluttered high.
The black-faced officer in full military uniform shouted anxiously in front of the formation: "A group of idiots! Let them pay attention to coordinating with the arrow tower and stone caster attacks in the rear, and don't rush around! The third wing is ready, this wave of attacks is over, you can go up and replace the second wing! Remember what I said, don't use even force, focus on breaking through a little! Order the stone caster and arrow tower to maintain accuracy attacks, and focus on attacks at the last moment!"
The cruel war did not scare the soldiers who were red-eyed, under the personal instigation of the commander, the corps quickly assembled into an attack formation, followed the supplementary ladder and siege cars, and took in uneven steps, roaring and roaring, quickly forming a higher wave head and rushing towards the city wall.
"Very good! Brother Wenna, the morale is available! The legion on the Burmese ground is good, worthy of being the tiger of Burmese! The trained soldiers are all as fierce as the tiger!" Xie Changyang, who was standing at a high place to watch the game, was also in full military uniform, with dark brown armor a little old, obviously something from the age of the year. A cluster of red tassels on the dome-sharp cone helmet scattered casually, which looked particularly eye-catching in a ochre-brown ocean. His words were heartfelt, and the satisfaction expression on his face showed his sincere praise.
"Sir, I'm too proud of it. Wen is just a martial artist. How can I afford to be so praised by you?" Wen Na's face remained motionless, but a flash of sperm flashed deep in his eyes revealed his true thoughts. In front of Xie Changyang, who was a mature man, his every move was difficult to hide.
"Brother Wenna does not have to be too humble. It is not a lucky chance that the Fourth Division will have such combat power shortly after it was formed. At the end of this battle, Xie will definitely report to the governor that he would ask for another division to be given to Brother Wenna and form the independent First Division in Myanmar to show his affirmation of Brother Wenna's training results!" Xie Changyang's sincere words touched Wenna a little, and his dry cheeks twitched slightly, but he could not find a suitable word to express for a while.
The trust and value of the Wen clan of Lang Yongquan and Tiannan actually made the leaders of other ethnic minorities in Tiannan County who began to surrender to the Lang family were quite jealous. Lang Yongquan directly allocated 1,000 horse-drawn carriages of the two successful transport brigades to the Burmese Legion for use. Although there was a reason, the Burmese Legion, in addition to leaving a division stationed in Burmese, the other two newly formed divisions went north to reinforce Hanzhong at night, but Lang Yongquan had made it clear that the thousand transport brigades and horses had been
After the battle, there was no need to return it, and it was permanently belonged to the Burmese Legion. This was a rare thing. This aroused the dissatisfaction of the so-called Lang family members, including the First Legion of Tiannan and the Second Legion, but they were all scolded by Lang Yongquan without hesitation. They were all sadly clamped with their tails and dared not make any more sounds, which made Wen Na's heart unspeakable. These guys have always been proud of being superior, but this time they were given face by the coach, and they gradually understood the weight of Wen Na's in the coach's heart and never dared to underestimate him again.
"Wenna is grateful for the heart of his lord, but the establishment of the Burmese Legion has caused many people under the command of the Jiedushi. Wenna only wants to train the Burmese Legion into an army and serve the work of the Jiedushi. There is no other other thoughts." Taking a deep breath, Wenna also knew that this sudden popularity was not a good thing, and it will inevitably cause many people to be jealous and jealous. Although the Jiedushi and the person in front of him trusted him, it is inevitable that others would say things in front of these two people. In addition, his sons were not as concerned as the Tang people in their words and actions. It is inevitable that some unconventional words fell into the ears of those who are interested. Once it was heard by the Jiedushi, they would probably cause a lot of trouble for themselves, so he also wanted to avoid the limelight.
"Brother Wenna, you don't have to worry about it. I know what you think in your heart. It's just that it's an extraordinary time now. If we can't seize the opportunity, we'll miss the best opportunity to plot against the Central Plains. Therefore, the governor will never change his intentions because of some gossip of boring people. Since Brother Wenna has this ability, he should bear more important responsibilities. Brother Wenna is well deserved to be the honor of what he does now. Why should he care about the rumors of those villains?" Xie Changyang advised him gently, intending to relieve his concerns.
Wen Na was not making a sound, just nodded silently, but returned to the battlefield.
The war did not stop because of the conversation between the two. Instead, it became more intense and cruel. One after another, the entire infantry formation was put into the battlefield. On the other side of Hanzhong City, the two divisions of the Tiannan Second Legion were responsible for the main attack. The Tiannan Army, the two north and south city gates, used feint attacks to restrain the defense troops in the city, forcing them not to invest all defense and emergency forces into the main attack direction of the east and west sides.
The person who personally took command of Wen Na's third son Wen Qian. He was responsible for the main attack of the Fourth Division today, and his brother led two other divisions to help watch the battle. The strategy he adopted was to concentrate on the attack and strive to break through one place. The soldiers of the five corps used the help of siege cars and ladders to attack the corner of the left wing of the East Gate. This place was slightly low due to the terrain. A few days ago, after the Tiannan Army cut off the moat tributary leading to the Han River, it quickly drained the river.
In order to protect the line of defense of the moat, the Lin family army repeatedly borrowed the method of sneak attacking out of the city at night, trying to destroy the other party's method of blocking the river, but they were all surrounded and strangled by the old Wen Na's ambush technique. Later, the Lin family no longer dared to leave the city. Although it was the time of water rise in autumn, without the interference of the Lin family, the method of breaking the river was successful in only one week, and Hanzhong City, which had lost the moat, immediately became the target of the Tiannan Army's siege.
Most of the Burmese soldiers came from the mountains and fields, and were good at climbing rocks and trees. They were not good at fighting positions, especially because they did not have enough training time, and were still far from military discipline and conventional formation drills. However, the two men of the Wen family had some solutions. They knew that the intention of going up the peak was to attack key cities such as Hanzhong and Lujiang. When they returned, they chose the tough and rough people from the mountains and fields as soldiers. While strengthening conventional training, they also allowed them to quickly adapt to the military atmosphere. During the training, they organized several face-to-face city offensive and defense drills, equipped with relatively siege weapons such as simple cloud ladders and wall-climbing vehicles, and fully utilized the expertise of these people climbing the walls and ladders. They spent a lot of time in these areas. This time, they fully demonstrated their strength when attacking Hanzhong.
The climbing ability of the Burmese soldiers caught the Lin family's defense army off guard and suffered a great loss. Two days before entering the offensive and defensive battle, the Burmese army used their fast climbing ability to concentrate their strength to break through the Lin family's defense many times. Dozens or hundreds of ladders and siege cars suddenly concentrated on one place, and hundreds of soldiers could all surge on the city in just a few minutes, forcing the Lin family to use the reserve team on the first day to withstand the sudden offensive.
