During the siege, the death rate of those who rushed up to the siege in the first row was extremely high.

But why do people still take the initiative to go to the front row?

Ordinary siege warfare is nothing more than a group of soldiers carrying ladders to charge the city, while the soldiers defending the city are throwing arrows, throwing stones, pouring fire oil, and desperately resisting.

The siege of the city was actually carried out in desperation.

The defenders of the city are condescending, and they are protected by battlements, and they can often defeat one enemy with ten.

The most famous battle to defend the city was the battle of Hao Bowen, a famous general.

With more than 1,000 people, he defeated more than 50,000 people who were besieging the city.

It was because of this battle that he was the first person to defend the ages.

In the face of a siege battle with heavy casualties, where did the soldiers get the courage and motivation to carry out this almost mortal order?

In fact, the siege of the city is not something that anyone can do casually.

It must be an elite unit to be eligible, and this unit must have high morale, combat bravery, and treat death as home.

In this regard, the more famous ones are the Sharp Knife Battalion, the First Battalion of Dengcheng and the Tiger Battalion, and so on.

Because it is an honor to climb the city, the so-called wealth and danger are sought, and many famous generals in history have made meritorious contributions from the siege troops as a starting point.

Including Xiao He's subordinates, there is a henchman named Qi Dehu by his side, who was known as the first person to pull out the city.

In addition to Qi Dehu, Xiao He also has four famous generals under him, two of whom were also promoted after bravely climbing the city. One battle turned them from penniless soldiers to generals commanding tens of thousands of people.

In war, morale is very important.

Either a soldier who desperately wants to make a meritorious deed, or a soldier who has a mortal enmity with the enemy, such a person will not be intimidated by anything.

The same is true of the siege camp in the princess's army, most of them are people whose families are ruined because of the Liang country.

In their hearts, dying on the battlefield is the best destination.

This time in the siege, the people who rushed to the front were Zhong Ling and Long Qian.

Long Qian's body was bandaged with some gauze, but it did not affect his movements.

On the city wall, the enemy tried his best to prevent the two from ascending the city, but they were all defused by the two of them one by one.

Some of those attacks were really unstoppable, so they had to jump on top of other ladders to dodge for the time being.

It didn't take long for the two to rush to the city wall one after another.

Behind them, the soldiers were thrown out of the way for a long distance.

However, two people withstood the tremendous pressure in the city walls, which helped the soldiers behind them reduce the risk and allow the soldiers to ascend the city faster.

"Sister Zhong Ling, this time, please hold on to it for a while." Long Qian said to Zhong Ling while fighting.

"Got it." Zhong Ling looked careless.

She did not come to attack the city with any strong purpose, because she did not want revenge, nor did she want to be a high official.

The reason why she stood at the head of the city was because she regarded the siege as a game.

In the morning, he looked relaxed, but at the moment he was a little uneasy.

Ye Youhuan, who was walking with her, walked away without saying a word.

Someone analyzed that Ye Youhuan was leading the troops to attack Yehuling, and Zhong Ling couldn't help but be a little worried about this.

As time passed, more and more soldiers rushed to Chengtou and fought with the Liang army.

This time, the momentum of the siege was noticeably stronger, and the warriors were more imposing.

If in the last siege battle, the assault battalion still had the instinct to be afraid of death, then this time they really wanted to open it and completely put life and death out of the way.

As the minutes and seconds passed, the shouts and roars on the battlefield were not interrupted, and they were heard far away.

In the rear of Yepi Pass, Ye Youhuan took the siege equipment and gradually approached.

Originally, Ye Youhuan wanted to crash the city gate open.

But this plan was rejected by Zhuge An.

Not to mention that the city gate is not so easy to break open, even if they knock the city gate open, but these more than 200 people are not enough for the other party to slash and kill for a few rounds!

Therefore, Zhuge An suggested that when attacking the city, his own side should be used as an auxiliary force.

Wait until the princess's side occupies the city wall, and then start thinking about the official siege.

"Isn't it good?" Ye Yu walked back and forth anxiously.

The siege equipment is ready, except for the last big guy left.

"Wait—"

Zhuge An is assembling a siege device called Heavenly Punishment.

The equipment was converted from eight ordinary catapults.

Among the stones brought by the team this time, there was a stone, which was the size of a house.

Only with this 'heavenly punishment' of eight trebuchets thrown together, coupled with the condescending superiority of the engineering vehicles, can there be a chance to throw stones into the city.

"If you can't do it, let's project these little ones first!" Ye Youhuan saw that the other catapulting equipment was ready.

"Wait, it'll be fine soon." Zhuge An told Ye Youhuan not to be anxious, he wanted to use the sudden appearance of the boulder to hit the enemy's morale.

……

Ye Youhuan is preparing on this side, and the siege on the other side is still in full swing.

"It's boring, I won't play anymore."

Zhong Ling was fed up with the repetitive harvesting of human life like a machine, which made her feel more and more bored and dull.

Moreover, she felt that she had completed her mission very well, and there were more and more Yan people who climbed the city wall, as long as they could all stand their ground, they would be able to break through Yepi Pass little by little.

Zhong Ling said to Long Qian: "I'll go first, and then it's up to you." ”

"Thank you, Sister Zhong Ling."

The two have been fighting side by side for a while, and Long Qian feels that he has a very tacit understanding with Zhong Ling.

He hoped that Zhong Ling could help him for a while longer, but he was too embarrassed to speak.

Zhong Ling is not a Yan person, and he has no grudge against Liangguo.

Moreover, Zhong Ling does not love power and wealth.

Long Qian was already very grateful in his heart, so he didn't keep it.

Just as Zhong Ling was about to leave, a sudden change occurred.

A dense rain of arrows actually shot at them.

In fact, all the soldiers who were able to storm the city wall were the lucky ones who managed to dodge many waves of arrows.

When rushing to the city wall and fighting hand-to-hand between the two sides, the warriors of the Yan Kingdom will not encounter a rain of arrows on a large scale, as long as they are on guard against a small number of cold arrows.

This is because the battle on the wall is not clear-cut.

The enemy and the enemy are mixed together, and at this time, they use a large area of long-range attacks, injuring 1,000 enemies and 800 self-inflicted damage.

But that's what the enemy did.

They gave up the lives of their own soldiers on the city wall and killed them wherever they were.

Ding Fengbo and another commander in their hearts? The more important target, this wave of arrow rain they would rather sacrifice their own warriors to launch, the biggest target is Long Qian and Zhong Ling.

These two men stood on the city, like two flags, boosting the morale of the people around them.

The rain of arrows was overwhelming, dense like locusts flying in the sky.

Crossbow ...... Arrows......

It's all concentrated on the city walls, so dense that it's too hard to dodge.

Zhong Ling turned to leave, not noticing the sudden rain of arrows.

Seeing that her life was about to be in danger.

"Be careful—" Long Qian protected Zhong Ling behind him, and the sword dance was impenetrable.

It's a pity...... The arrows are like locusts and rain, and they are too dense.
