The night was dark, but the fire was as bright as day.

On the eastern wall of Quyang City, a night siege battle suddenly began.

Guo Dian took the lead, as fast as a bull, he carried the ladder, almost equivalent to dragging the soldiers behind him, and rushed to the city wall.

The cold wind blows, and the war drums beat.

The shouting and killing roared and burst into the sky.

The soldiers were like ants, flocking under the city walls.

At the sound of the shouts, a long and heavy ladder was erected and lifted to the top of the city.

In addition, there were many soldiers who carried bundles of ropes on their shoulders, and a hook was tied to the end of the rope, and they rushed to the city wall, threw the hook high on the head of the city, straightened the rope, and hooked the battlements at the head of the city.

Behind, there are soldiers pushing tall building cars, which are almost level with the head of the city, more than ten meters high. On the cart, there were archers with officers and soldiers, as well as some assault knife soldiers who were ready to jump over the city walls.

The actions of the officers and soldiers naturally made the Yellow Turban guards on the city head aware of it as soon as possible, and for a time the gongs and drums sounded in unison, and the Yellow Turban leaders who were responsible for defending the city also hurriedly shouted loudly and mobilized the Yellow Turban soldiers in the city wall to defend the city.

The Yellow Turban soldiers, who had been waiting for the battle, immediately began to attack the officers and soldiers under the city walls. They attacked with bows and arrows, and poured down with rolling stones and boiling soup (boiling dung).

In an instant, the officers and soldiers under the city wall were immediately attacked.

On the ladder that had been erected, when the soldiers were halfway up, they were smashed down by the guards at the head of the city with stones or heavy objects, and if they were hit, they would break their heads and bleed or fall down to their deaths.

Those officers and soldiers who grabbed the rope and climbed up to the city, they regarded death as home, fearless of their lives, and desperately climbed up, but they also suffered the blow of boiling soup that fell on their heads.

There was a loud scream, and it was really a person who turned on his back.

However, the Yellow Turban army at the head of the city did not have a good time, because there were also archers shooting at the city below, and as long as they showed their heads, there would be bows and arrows shooting at them.

From time to time, some of them were killed by arrows, especially those siege carts that were about the same level as the castle head, and the archers in the tower carts began to pose a great threat to the Yellow Turban soldiers on the city head.

Siege warfare is the most tragic war, and under normal circumstances, no one wants to launch such a siege war. In such a war, human life is not worth anything at all, and those who are alive just now will be spilled under the city walls in the blink of an eye.

This is a forced use of human life to fill in.

The defenders of the Yellow Army at the head of the city, their materials for defending the city at the head of the city are limited, those boiling soup that are boiled in a cauldron, there is no time to let them boil after they are spilled, even if there is still it, there is no time for them to boil, the temperature is not enough, there is no lethality. Except for the smell, there was no threat to the officers and soldiers of the besieging side.

Those wooden rolling stones, they have only a limited amount of preparation at the head of the city, plus they are trapped in the city, and the things that can be used in the city are almost used up. A lot of the simmerwood is still the beams that were made by demolishing some houses.

In addition, the purpose of the officers and soldiers who have been attacking the city non-stop these days is actually to continuously consume the materials of the defenders in the city.

Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army on the head of the city now effectively blocks the siege officers and soldiers, and it is only the first wave. When this wave passed, the Yellow Turban defenders at the head of the city had no choice but to cut the ropes that were tied to the city and knock down the ladders that were erected on the top of the city, and they could only watch those officers and soldiers swarm up, and then fight with the white knuckle.

In addition, they will also use some long poles to try to knock down those building carts that are close to the city wall, or resist and prevent them from approaching, so that the officers and soldiers in the building carts cannot jump directly to the city head.

After the outbreak of the uprising, the Yellow Turban Army went through the war of killing officials and eating big households, and then attacking the city, and then experienced the counteroffensive of officers and soldiers. In the past year, although most of the Yellow Turban Army has changed and turned into robbers and bandits, they are also accumulating experience in attacking and defending cities.

The siege warfare of this era actually came and went by these means. In fact, both sides know how to deal with it.

Either way, however, both sides will inevitably suffer a huge cost in casualties.

At this time, Zhang Ning and the two hidden camps, Fan Dun and Xu Er, were not far from the battlefield, and they hid in the drainage ditch, almost seeing all the situation.

In fact, they have all experienced sieges or fortifications. But this time, as a bystander, they were watching the whole process, which still made them feel chills in their hearts, watching those officers and soldiers being smashed to pieces one by one, and scattering red and white things all over the ground, which was like a situation like Shura's hell, which made them all feel sick for a while.

You must know that Zhang Ning and the others originally stayed in the stench drainage ditch, and they already endured the disgusting feeling of filth, but these were not as disgusting as the deaths of the officers and soldiers who were smashed off the city wall.

Zhang Ning has seen Guo Dian, and her eyes have been following Guo Dian.

I saw that this Guo Dian was really good. He rushed to the bottom of the city walls, and the first thing he did was to erect a ladder.

As soon as this cloud ladder was erected, naturally there were soldiers who followed him and rushed up in front of Guo Dian shouting.

In this way, the pro-soldiers who rushed up first blocked the rolling stones or sassal trees that fell on Guo Dian's head. Then Guo Dian confronted the Yellow Turban soldiers on the city.

Stones fell from it, but Guo Dian was very alert and flexible, and actually dodged and moved on the top of the ladder, dodging several smashes in a row.

Then he actually relied on a thick wooden shield handed by one of his own soldiers below, and forcibly blocked the stones that fell from above, as well as a thick sandalwood.

Guo Dian's strength is stronger than Zhang Ning, and he is at the level of a real third-rate general.

In addition, there is also the problem of height, because Guo Dian climbs to the top of the city very quickly, and has reached more than half of the city wall, with the heavy objects smashed down from above, at this distance, it is difficult to use the height to exert a stronger gravity bonus.

This is equivalent to a weight such as ten or twenty catties of stones, and when they hit his thick wooden shield, the gravitational impact force generated was only more than 100 catties at most, which was completely within the range of gravity that Guo Dian could withstand.

There are also sassal wood, which are dry beams, and although they have been soaked in water, their weight is limited. Don't say that it is a hundred or dozens of catties of smashing power, even if it weighs two or three hundred catties, a third-rate military general can completely withstand it.

In terms of strength, the strength of a third-rate military general is estimated to reach about five hundred catties.

In such siege warfare, the role of a real military general is very important.

"No, it's not good, that Guo Dian has been killed!"

Xu Er's heart was towards the Yellow Turban Army, and when he saw Guo Dian jumping alone, he jumped onto the city, and he couldn't help but say a word of concern.
