Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Hulao Ends(2/2)
Another day and night...
Thousands of boulders blasted the west city wall full of holes, and many sections were collapsed. The boulders and rubble piled up under the wall were dozens of meters high.
Densely packed giant crossbows pierced the city wall.
The population density of the Sui troops on the city wall was greatly reduced, and many retreated from the city wall!
The hundred-foot-high dontan chariots and ladder chariots began to approach the west city wall, which made the Sui army energetic and ready to fight. However, they saw that the donlan chariots and other vehicles were slow and unhurried, which made the Sui army himself anxious.
The catapults and giant ballistae were still roaring, and the chariots approached, and the archers on the vehicles began to shoot at the Sui troops on the city wall from a distance, suppressing the Sui troops at the top of the wall.
Half a day later, the Sui troops on the west city wall were again reduced in number. Even the gate tower was smashed to pieces. The city wall was completely bare, and the cover was not as good as a chariot!
On the surface they seem to be the same, but defending against a wall and defending against a city are ultimately different concepts. They are worlds apart!
This time, the rebels did not attack at any cost. Instead, they slowly pushed back without haste, and slowly pushed back the Sui army. The cost was time!
Many ladder trucks were mounted on the wall, and a flood of rebels swarmed up the city wall and began a real attack. Many rebels risked their lives to clean up the debris blocking the city gate.
The ending seemed natural and natural. Half a day later, the west city wall was captured by the rebels.
Duke Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty led the Sui army, Jianghu heroes, etc., and left along the rope ladder...
When Yang Xuangan climbed up to the city wall and watched the remaining Sui troops retreat, it was announced that the west city wall had been captured, which also represented...
The Battle of Hulao has ended!
In the battle of Hulao, it took the rebels two days and three nights to capture the east city wall, five days and five nights to fight fiercely inside the pass, and another three days and three nights to capture the west city wall.
It didn't seem like a long time, but it had a huge impact, not counting the corpses left behind by both sides that could cover the entire pass.
This is just the beginning, just a warm-up for the Battle of Luoyang, and few famous generals have emerged!
