As soon as he saw Cao Jun's catapult resting, Gao Shun ordered the bed crossbowmen on the city wall to take place.

Without waiting for Cao Jun's crossbow to be arranged, Gao Shun resolutely ordered the bed crossbow to fire.

Of course, the crossbow dared to step forward because it was guarded by more heavy shields. These heavy shields are held in their hands with huge shields, all of which are solid wood, inlaid with iron and bronze. However, this doesn't fully protect the crossbowmen, as you'll have to do the math.

The bed crossbow is called a bed crossbow because it has a crossbow frame the size of a bed and is fixed. The prototype of the car crossbow is to move the bed crossbow onto the frame car, and because of the existence of rear thrust when fired, the power of the fixed bed crossbow is generally slightly greater than that of the same model of car crossbow.

Then, since the crossbow is powerful enough from the bottom up to nail the giant arrow into the city wall, then the condescending power of the same type of bed crossbow is enough to penetrate the giant wooden shield and cause damage.

In the Yuan Shu era, Yuan Jun's equipment has always been one grade worse than Cao Jun's equipment, which is all due to the sparse skills, greed for ink and negligence in the battle formation. Zhang Xiu was in charge of Huainan, washed the officials, wantonly streamlined the army, and got the help of Liu Ye, so the equipment at this time can be said to be roughly equal to the talented Cao army.

But as long as it is at one level, it is enough, Zhang Xiu's side is guarding, occupying a favorable position, and naturally suppressing Cao Jun. Hundreds of giant crossbows of the two armies fired at each other, but Zhang Xiujun still had an absolute advantage. From time to time, a giant arrow pierces the giant shield and nails one or two hapless crossbowmen or giant shieldmen.

The most tragic picture Zhang Xiu has ever seen is a giant crossbow arrow, which first overturned a giant shield with its impact. Then, by chance, another giant arrow happened to pass through the gap, and the shieldman who had been pushed down by the great force just stood up, and it happened that the giant arrow passed through the head.

That's right, it's just passing through the head!

However, this was not the end, the arrow's piercing force through the skull had not yet dissipated, and it directly passed through the two crossbowmen who were exactly in the same line. Pierce through the back of the crossbowman in the back, through the lower abdomen of the crossbowman in front, and nail into the crossbow frame!

The most tragic thing is that although the arrow of the giant arrow has been nailed into the wooden crossbow frame, the end of the shaft, which is more than one and a half meters long, is still worn in the head of the giant shield man at the front.

The shieldman was dead, and the first crossbowman hung his hands and head weakly, but the last crossbowman who had been pierced was still alive, waving his hands and crying out to save me......

Cao Jun, who was finally replaced, seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, and one of the chiefs drew his sword to cut off the wooden arrow shaft, pulling the shield hand who remained in a standing position to the ground. Then, without hesitation, he gave the screaming crossbowman a knife with great pleasure.

This is just the corner of the battlefield that Zhang Xiu sees. As the crossbow soldiers were suppressed, Cao Jun's trebuchet quickly began to suppress the firepower, and after figuring out the position of the bed crossbow, he threw fire oil more vigorously to hinder Zhang Xiujun's vision.

Gao Shun immediately ordered a halt to the shooting of the crossbows, even though Cao's army had already begun to fill the trenches with carts full of earth and rock. The trench was also dug temporarily, and it was far from the city wall. For the sake of two trenches, it is not worth continuing to expose the bed crossbow. The role of the trench was only to consume Cao Jun's physical strength as much as possible.

However, there was still a bed crossbow that had its bowstring ruined by the sputter of fire oil because it was a beat slower.

After a while, Cao Jun almost threw all the fire oil that could be used to project the siege head for several days into the Qiyang city wall at one time, burning the north city wall of Qiyang with thick smoke and black, and it was impossible to see the earthy yellow adobe bricks of the past.

The defenders at the head of the city were also complaining, and the thick smoke of the fire oil could not help but blind the eyes, and it could enter the respiratory tract to weaken the combat effectiveness of Zhang Xiujun's army. Although the preparations were sufficient, and each soldier had a wet towel to cover his mouth and nose, Cao Jun had no choice but to put in too much fire oil, which was enough to burn down all the houses in Qiyang. Combat effectiveness has still been greatly affected.

It's just that Cao Jun's actions made Zhang Xiu even more convinced that Cao Cao was playing a trick of attacking the east and the west.

Finally, Cao's army began to fill in the moat. The trebuchets and crossbows also stopped firing so as not to be injured by mistake. In important areas, Cao's military trucks carried earth and rock to fill in. In general, driftwood is thrown first, and then planks are laid. Gao Shun then ordered the bed crossbowmen to continue firing, because the moat was already under the city wall, which was considered the home of ordinary crossbowmen. This time he fired, he directly swept away hundreds of Cao troops.

If there was no smoke from the burning oil in front of him, he would be able to kill and injure hundreds of Cao soldiers at one time. But even under the cover of thick smoke, Cao Jun dispatched tens of thousands of people to fill the moat, and at least 2,000 soldiers were killed and wounded!

Fortunately, in the middle and late stages of filling the moat, the arrow tower of the Cao army, which was as tall as the city wall, was slowly pushed up. The upper floor of the arrow tower was full of Cao Jun's elite crossbowmen, one by one, hiding inside the arrow tower and casting bows and arrows from the archery mouth towards the head of Qiyang City. Tens of thousands of foot soldiers braved the rain of arrows to carry out the landfill work below.

Of course, there were also some archers, standing in front of the moat and throwing them at the head of the city. Of course, the lethality is very limited, and it is far less effective than the colleagues on the arrow tower at the same height as the city wall. In fact, it's just a little psychological comfort for the robe who carries the earth and stones beside you, and someone is fighting side by side with you!

Seeing the arrow tower approaching, Gao Shun immediately ordered to throw the oil bottle. Immediately, all the footmen at the head of the city, who were not archers, stood up and threw porcelain vases and small clay pots filled with fire oil at the wooden turret. Even the city's good sprinkler equipment was pulled down the city walls and sprayed fire oil directly into the tower.

Most of the fire oil fell on the middle and lower ends of the arrow tower, and when Gao Shun gave an order, the attention of some of Zhang Xiujun's archers instantly shifted to these fatal arrow towers. They took out the rockets wrapped in tarpaulin, lit them, and cast rockets at the middle and lower ends of the wooden turret to ignite the turret. And many more crossbowmen still shoot arrows at the packed army beneath the city.

As for firing arrows at the archery port of the arrow tower? An experienced archer would never do that. The mouth of the arrow is only the size of two palms, and you think that you can easily shoot into it after dozens of steps and thick smoke is in the way?

However, there was such a distance, Zhang Xiujun could not use the oil altar to throw a large amount of fire oil onto the arrow tower, and could only concentrate on the arrow tower in a few critical places. As a result, Cao Jun had dozens of arrow towers, but more than a dozen were set on fire. Some of the archers of the Cao Army in the arrow tower were burned to death and smoked inside, and some ran out before the fire was too big.

Finally, the moat was almost filled, and half of Cao's arrow tower was broken. In fact, in conventional siege warfare, it often takes several days to fill in the moat, slowly step by step. But it seems that today's Cao army wants to take Qiyang in one fell swoop, so regardless of the losses, he directly went all out, replaced the tired civil engineering army, adjusted the main force to start attacking the city.

The first to push the moat were the arrow towers. This kind of arrow tower actually has a more famous name, siege tower!

There is a shooting notch on the top, but it is also hollow on the bottom, which can be used to house infantry. On the top façade there is a plank that can be lowered when the tower is close to the city wall and placed on the top of the castle as a springboard to the upper city.

However, the siege tower has a great practical effect, but the mobility is too poor. Although the first was pushed across the moat. But the first to be put on the walls were the ladders. It sounds like a ladder, but it's actually an extended version of the ladder.

The light soldiers of the Cao army in the brigade carried a small shield, a spear and a short sword, and charged with a ladder. Braving the rain of arrows from Zhang Xiujun at the head of the city, the dead had their own foot soldiers who did not carry a ladder next to them.

Cross the pontoon bridge, rush to the bottom of the wall, lift the ladder and put it on top of the wall, and climb up one by one. Every step of this is almost a hang-up, but Cao Jun is fearless, thinking that they believe that the final victory must belong to them, to their lord Cao Mengde!

The archers in the city were also overloaded at this time, frantically shooting and killing Cao's poorly protected light soldiers. As for Cao Jun, who pushed and crashed the car, he was the focus of care. Previously, it was a bed crossbow shot, shooting away the giant shield soldiers who followed the collision, and the crossbowmen took the opportunity to shoot the cart warriors inside.

Later, the crash approached, and the bed crossbow couldn't be shot, so it didn't matter, throw the oil and ignite the rocket to continue to kill.

I don't remember that Zhang Xiujun burned several crashed cars halfway, and finally one of the crashed cars rushed to the city gate, the giant shield man continued to guard the ground half a step, and the elite soldiers pushed the rolling logs and began to hit the city gate.

After the siege tower approached the city wall, it was taken care of. The big oil jar was pushed down and set on fire, and almost all the siege towers that came up in the first wave were burned to pieces.

But it didn't matter, there were a lot of siege towers sent by Cao's army from the rear, and soon, the second wave was pushed to the wall.

The first tower cart was close to the city wall, and the upper part was covered with a bronze baffle that prevented Zhang Xiujun's fire oil from being thrown into the middle of the most easily burned part. Sergeant Zhang Xiu, who threw the oil oil, immediately stopped working in vain, and directly focused on the hard-pressed light soldiers who climbed the city with the ant-attached ladder.

At the same time, the lime bottles were smashed at the Cao army for no money, because as long as the Cao army was repelled from an attack, most of them could be recycled. There are ash bottles with lime and ash from plants and trees. The effect is to prevent the besieging soldiers from opening their eyes.

This is not Zhang Xiu's invention, all of them are the wisdom of the ancestors themselves.

The effect of rolling wood and stones is much simpler. Look at the right time to roll down a rolling log along the ladder and directly overturn a row of people.

Of course, Cao Jun, who climbed the city, was not stupid, and always paid attention to the movements above. Once the oil is poured or the stone is rolled down, the arrow that can be transferred to the wall will be transferred and the climb will continue. If you can't, jump quickly.

However, if you hit the ash bottle, there is no way but to risk it.

Finally, the gangplank of a siege tower was put down, and more than a dozen Cao soldiers who had been guarding the back floor immediately rushed to the city head on the gangplank. At this time, Zhang Xiujun was not bad, the archers put a wave of arrows inside, and the foot soldiers directly met it, jumped on the springboard and directly counterattacked the siege tower.

It is often more than a dozen fierce soldiers of the two armies who fight on a springboard about ten square meters, not someone who falls from the unsheltered plank. Or one person, or one holding the other, fell to pieces.

In the end, there were archers on the side to help, and on the battlefield, it was often the foot guards who defended the city to kill the Cao army back into the siege tower. Then on the one hand, the staircase leading to the upper floor was blocked, and on the other hand, the archers on the upper level of archery were slaughtered.

Finally, he brought the oil altar from behind, fell down the stairs, lit a fire, and retreated back to the city. Then the siege tower burned and burned to pieces.
