The soldiers of the Wu army almost couldn't wait to jump up the ladder, and even collided with each other in order to compete for the qualification to be the first to go up the ladder.

A huge bounty is just around the corner, and none of these Danyang soldiers are willing to take the initiative to give up the opportunity to get the bounty, and they are all scrambling, lest the bounty be snatched away by others.

A cloud ladder was almost crawled with Wu soldiers, who were carrying shields and carrying knives and guns, and climbed up quickly.

Wang Ji ordered the Wei soldiers to attack in a deep voice, and suddenly the arrows on the city rained down and shot towards the Wu soldiers on the cloud ladder.

Although Wu Jun was all wearing shields, the area of the round wooden shield was not too large, and when it was raised above his head, it could only protect the top of his head, and the arrows shot from the flanks were unable to parry.

The Wei soldiers had rich experience in defending the city, and when dealing with the enemy on the ladder, they did not shoot from the front at all, but carried out cross-shooting, the left shot and the enemy on the right, and the right shot the enemy on the left.

The arrow wounds suffered by these Wu soldiers may not all be fatal, but once they fall down the ladder, they are fatal.

However, the casualties of the robe Ze did not seem to be able to shake the determination of the Wu soldiers to attack the city, the Wu army followed one after another, and a steady stream of them poured up like a tide, and the entire city was crowded with soldiers of the Wu army, and they could not climb down the ladder, so they had to wait on the side, and once there were casualties, they could go up in time.

It was already difficult for the Wei army to block the offensive of the Wu army with bows and arrows alone, after all, the archers of the army defending the city only accounted for a part of the proportion, and each arrow shot may not be able to hit the target.

Shoot a Wu soldier, soon another Wu soldier will come up, so the continuous attack has brought a lot of pressure to the defense of the Wei army, and simply shooting Wu soldiers can not play a role in containing the attack of the Wu army, if you want to stop the attack of the Wu army, you have to start from destroying the siege equipment.

Seeing that the Wu army was about to climb the city, Wang Ji ordered the defenders to use rolling logs and stones.

Rolling wood stone is a defensive heavy weapon, each rolling wood is about more than a zhang long, the rough details are different, from the thickness of the bowl mouth to the thickness of the grinding plate, the thicker the rolling wood is naturally more powerful, a rolling wood smashed down, ignoring the enemy's defense at all, Wu soldiers on the ladder, no matter how long the string, will be swept to the end, swept clean.

The stones are stones of different sizes, the small stones can be lifted by a single soldier, and the large stones need to be carried by two or more Wei soldiers.

Although the stone does not have the sweeping effect of a rolling log, the heavy stone falling from the sky is something that no one can resist, and once hit by the stone, the head will immediately bloom.

The largest rocks can even destroy the ladder, and if a stone falling from a high altitude hits the frame of the ladder, it may break the ladder.

Of course, the most destructive power to the ladder is not rolling wood and stones, but also fire oil.

The oils of this era did not have the kind of pressed vegetable oil of later generations, which could remain in a liquid state at room temperature, and most of these oils were animal fats, which were solidified into a ball before they were cooked.

Therefore, in the back position of the city wall, the hanging pot is burned with firewood, and the grease is melted into the cauldron and burned until the oil is boiling.

This kind of boiling oil, the temperature is as high as two or three hundred degrees, when the hot oil is poured down, you will hear the heart-rending screams of the Wu soldiers, and after being burned, they are in pain.

Of course, due to the high cost of oil, the defenders could not all use fire oil, many cauldrons, boiled water, if the effect of scalding, boiling water and boiling oil are almost the same, can cause a fatal blow to the enemy besieging the city.

However, there is a function of fire oil that cannot be achieved by boiling water, that is, the fire oil is poured on the ladder, the defenders can throw down the torch and ignite the oil, and the entire ladder will soon be burned and cannot be saved.

Destroying the ladder can delay the enemy's attack more than killing and injuring the enemy soldiers, so after the oil attack received miraculous results, the Wei army naturally adopted this method in large quantities, and a scoop of hot oil poured down could not only burn the Wu soldiers besieging the city, but also burn the ladder of the Wu army.

Because the number of the Wu army far exceeded that of the Wei soldiers defending the city, when attacking, the Wu army was completely disregarding the military strength, and they could bear even the largest casualties.

However, the number of siege ladders restricts the movement of the Wu army, and if there are enough ladders, they can even be densely spread on the city wall, allowing the Wu soldiers to attack across the city wall.

Therefore, it is very important to destroy the ladder, and each additional ladder destroyed can reduce a lot of pressure on the defenders.

The use of fire oil to burn the ladder has become the most effective means to deal with the ladder at present, for a time, the city wall is thick smoke, the flames are soaring, many ladders were burned in the flames, the Wu army not only suffered heavy casualties, but also lost many ladders, the momentum of the offensive obviously weakened a lot.

With the weakening of the offensive intensity, the momentum of the Wu army has also decreased a lot, and those Danyang soldiers who were originally determined to win the huge reward are also a little discouraged at this moment, after all, the more fierce the Wu army's attack is, the heavier the casualties will be, and the entire city is full of countless corpses of Wu soldiers, and they can't be cleaned up.

Everywhere there were fragments of burned ladders, still smoking there, and stumps and broken arms and bloody corpses were piled up all over the city, a mess, and more countless wounded soldiers, wailing and screaming, in a terrible state.

The frustration of the first wave of the attack made Lu Yi very anxious, although it is said that the siege battle has never been achieved overnight, and even has been done over the years, but today the Wu army launched an attack with all its strength with an overwhelming superiority in troops, and there was no effect at all, so don't let the main general Zhuge Ke be angry.

Zhuge Ke's anger is like a volcano that is about to erupt, it may erupt at any time, and Zhuge Ke, who is angry, no one dares to provoke it easily, Lu Ji knows that if he can't get a satisfactory record for Zhuge Ke today, it is likely that he will vent his anger on himself.

Lu Yi didn't want to be innocently punished, so after the first wave of attacks was frustrated, he immediately remobilized his army, added new ladders and siege equipment, and launched a fierce attack on Anfeng City again.
