After obtaining Zhu Di's approval.
Zhang Fu immediately mounted his horse and returned to his army.
"Soldiers."
"Since the King of Yan regards us highly, our army will be the vanguard in this battle.”
"In the battle a few days ago, our army heavily injured the Yuan Army. Today, the First Army will be the one to take down the city.”
"Soldiers of the First Army, get into the siege formation.”
Zhang Fu came to the front of the formation and shouted.
Instantly.
The 7,000 soldiers began to quickly change their formation.
The infantry with shields and sabers were at the front. The siege ladders and battering rams were all transferred to Zhang Fu's army.
Soon after.
The infantry archers followed closely behind the infantry, while the cavalry was at the back.
Siege battles were the infantry's home ground. Even if the city gate was broken through, the enemy troops in the city would still frantically resist. It was not suitable for cavalry to fight in a vast territory.
"I will lead the army to attack the city. Everyone, please follow me and break through the city pass.”
"Cavalry, dismount and turn into infantry to attack the city.”
Zhang Fu shouted with a serious expression.
Then, he dismounted.
He threw away the long saber in his hand and exchanged it for a short saber. Then, he took a shield from the guard.
Therefore.
It could suppress the morale of the entire army.
He turned around.
The thousands of cavalrymen dismounted one after another, their hands tightly gripping onto their sabers.
Cavalry could not only fight on horses, but also on foot.
"As expected of a famous battle general in history. Such boldness, calmly facing life and death, can definitely boost the morale of the army.”
"Zhu Di immediately agreed to Zhang Fu's request. It can be seen that the probing these few days has made Zhu Di understand that there must be a strong general who is not afraid of death in order to seize the city.”
"At this moment, Zhang Fu is leading the vanguard to attack the city.”
"I've been promoted to the fourth rank.”
At this moment, Zhu Xiong was also looking forward to it.
He had originally thought that he would not have the chance to obtain this great merit, but with Zhang Fu's request, the opportunity had come.
"General Zhang."
"This king will personally beat the drum to cheer for you.”
"Help you break through the enemy city."
Zhu Di got off his horse and walked to the battle drum.
"Soldiers, get ready."
Zhang Fu held a shield in one hand and a saber in the other. His expression was solemn.
Zhu Di picked up the drumstick.
Bang!
The drums suddenly sounded.
This also represented where the order was.
"Great Ming soldiers, kill!"
" Kill!" Zhang Fu shouted and charged out.
The 7,000 soldiers behind him all followed Zhang Fu's footsteps and charged toward the city ahead.
At the same time.
The dozens of cannons and catapults in front of the formation were all activated.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A loud boom swept across the sky and the earth.
The artillery shells rained down on the city pass, taking away many Yuan soldiers. Some of them landed on the city wall, causing it to tremble slightly.
Hundreds of trebuchets fired at the same time, crazily throwing flint at the city. Their power was not much weaker than cannonballs.
Under the cover of such a formation.
Zhang Fu led his soldiers and charged towards the city.
"This time, the Ming army is really attacking.”Wang Baobao's eyes were extremely solemn.
Compared to the attacks of the previous two days, the Ming army was even more shocked today. There were no catapults or ballistae in the previous two days, but all of them appeared today.
"Pass down the order."
"Battle to the death in the city."
"Even if I die in battle, I swear to fight the Ming army to the death.”
Wang Baobao shouted coldly.
He naturally understood that today's battle would be the key to victory.
"Yes."
The Yuan Generals replied in unison.
"Kill me!"
When Zhang Fu brought the vanguard into the firing range, Wang Baobao shouted.
Even though the cannonballs and boulders flew past his head, Wang Baobao did not panic at all.
"Kill!"
The Yuan army at the city pass immediately counterattacked.
The cannons on the city walls fired.
Booming sounds continued.
The tens of thousands of archers on the city walls also drew their bows and released their arrows.
A dense rain of arrows and artillery shells bombarded the Ming army.
"Raise your shields and attack!"
Zhang Fu was alone in front. Facing the dense rain of arrows above his head, he did not show any fear. Instead, he raised his shield high and shouted.
The infantry behind him followed suit and raised their shields.
Arrows rained down from the sky.
Boom! Boom!
The cannonball smashed down.
"Ah…Ah…"
Screams echoed throughout the battlefield.
Many soldiers were swallowed by the power of the cannonballs. Under the arrows, countless Ming soldiers fell and struggled in a pool of blood. Even though their comrades saw their comrades being pierced by arrows, they could do nothing. In a siege, they would collapse as soon as they retreated.
The only way to survive was to attack.
He took a step back.
Behind them, there were also supervising teams that directly executed them.
This was war.
Casualties could not stop the advance of the battlefield.
"Archers, get into formation and release arrows to suppress them.”
Zhang Fu shouted.
"Archers, release your arrows."
Liu Lei immediately ordered loudly.
The archers lined up in a row.
Zhu Xiong stood in front of the 1st Battalion and nocked his bow. His gaze was locked onto the Yuan Dynasty soldiers on the city pass.
"Kill them!"
Zhu Xiong bellowed as he flicked the bowstring in his hand. Four sharp arrows shot out from the bowstring and pierced the throats of four Yuan Dynasty archers with ease.
The 1,000 archers from the two battalions also fired back at the Yuan Dynasty soldiers on the city wall.
The Yuan army at the city pass was also suppressed by the rain of arrows.
Seizing this opportunity.
"Follow me and kill!"
Zhang Fu shouted.
He continued to lead the army and charge forward.
Soon, they arrived in front of the moat.
"Build the bridge."
"Cloud ladder, charge!"
Zhang Fu shouted.
The soldiers under his command also attacked rapidly.
