Liang Cheng's brows were tightly locked, but Liang Yun on the side was elated, and said with a smile: "Dashuai, you see, our attack is advancing very smoothly, and the Jin dogs at the head of the city have no way to fight back, I'm afraid that they were killed by flying stones a while ago." ”

Liang Cheng hooked the corners of his mouth, and said coldly: "No matter how you attack with flying stones, it is impossible to kill all the people in the city, you see, aren't there still people who are hit by arrows now, I don't believe it, there is not a single archer in the middle, I think, they are ready to wait for our infantry to attack, and then open the bow and release the arrows." ”

Liang Fei nodded: "Yes, I'm afraid that most of the time is like this, what now, big brother, do you continue to shoot or let the infantry attack the city?" ”

Liang Cheng looked at the head of the city, groaned for a while, and said: "Ordered the infantry to attack the city, now the suppression effect of the archers is already good, even if they still have the strength to fight back at the head of the city, it will not be too strong, and I also want to see how much strength they still have, this first wave of siege is just a try." Pass my command, the first warrior to rush to the head of the city, reward 500 pieces of silk silk, 100 female slaves! ”

The archers of the Qin army began to follow the dull sound of horns, stopped shooting at the head of the city, and retreated, while a large number of lightly armed infantry, carrying ladders and rope hooks, rushed quickly from the side of the archers, more than 100 ladders more than two zhang high, began to erect the head of the northern city, and the tide of Qin infantry, they climbed these ladders one after another, they held shields, biting broadswords in their mouths, and climbed to the city head at the fastest speed, and soon, they climbed to half the distance!

In the north city of Shouchun, Liu Yu was sitting in a precarious position, his eyes were slightly closed, listening to the sound of shouting and killing on all sides, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the sound of stepping on the cloud ladder to the city was also clearly audible, Zhu Lingshi's expression was a little nervous, and his breathing became short, Liu Yu opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "What's the matter, Lingshi, are you worried?" ”

Zhu Lingshi gritted his teeth and said: "The enemy army is climbing the city, we don't even have a bow and arrow to counterattack, and the momentum is completely overwhelmed by the enemy army, can we really hold it in this way?" ”

Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, although Liang Cheng's momentum is not small now, but he is just a tentative attack, the way to attack the city, lies in the sudden, really killing you, that is to be able to approach silently, and then attack with all one blow, so, the momentum over there is big, but I don't think there is any problem." ”

Zhu Lingshi sighed: "But we don't even let go of the arrows, is this okay?" ”

Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth: "We have thirty heavy trebuchets inside the city wall, which can throw fifty catties of boulders, even this is useless, what is the bow and arrow, I think, now Liang Cheng has not pressed the elite soldiers to attack the city, so we don't have to expose all our strength, as long as we force out the elite troops of the enemy army, let's kill the killer." ”

Zhu Lingshi's brows softened: "So that's the case." ”

The sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air came from the inside of the city wall more than a hundred steps away, and Liu Yu said with a smile: "Look, Murong Nan is not doing nothing, this archer has also started shooting." ”

At the base of the city wall of the northern city, five or six hundred archers of the Jin army, lined up in three columns, under the command of the team leader, began to draw their bows and shoot in the direction of the city.

These Shouchun archers are all strong men with burly figures, excellent arm strength, and shoulders that are obviously wider than ordinary sergeants, and the bows and arrows used are mostly strong bows of more than three stones, and the head of the city, which is more than three feet high, is easily crossed by their bows and arrows, and even those who are many higher than the head of the city, and the two-zhang cloud ladder that is erected on the battlements of the city head is also two or three feet high under these arrows flying over the city head.

Those soldiers of the Qin Army, who had climbed to a height of seven or eight feet, looked up, but saw waves of black and oppressive arrow rain, flying from a height of one or two zhang above their heads, crossing a huge arc, and falling into the crowd of more than twenty steps behind them.

Outside the city began to sound one after another screams and wails, although the number of five hundred archers is not much, but because the number of Qin troops attacking the city is too large, the team is all crowded together, and these Shouchun archers are very fast, almost continuous, so to the Qin army's siege troops, caused a lot of damage, most of the light infantry in the back row are brandishing knives and guns, shouting behind to help, a sudden rain of arrows, instantly shot down three or four hundred people, the rest of the people did not dare to call anymore, they squatted down one after another, Leaning close together, they raised the wooden shield they carried with them above their heads, shivering, scolding, and praying.

Liang Cheng sneered: "There is really still the power to counterattack in the city, their archers have withdrawn the head of the city and shot in the back, in order to avoid the attack of our army's flying stones, the order, the infantry to speed up the climb of the city, give me control of the city as soon as possible, the archers come forward to shoot and suppress, plus two thousand archers to go up, I want to completely suppress the bows and arrows in the city." ”

More than 3,000 archers of the Qin army, plus more than 2,000 follow-ups, rushed forward, because within fifty steps of the city wall, they were already crowded with infantry, unable to withdraw, they simply stopped forming a queue, all scattered, followed by these infantry, drew bows and arrows, rows of dense arrow rain, flew over the city wall without interruption, and fell to the position behind the city wall.

Only the sound of "pop pop" was heard endlessly, experienced soldiers could hear it, it was the sound of arrows hitting the shield or door panel, the bows and arrows shot from the city were much more sparse, but still did not stop, obviously, the shield bearers in the city were covering the archers, and taking advantage of the rain of arrows, the archers who drew their bows would drill out of their shields and door panels, and continue to fire arrows outside the city.

The archers on both sides were shooting fiercely, but the Qin infantry who climbed the city did not stop for a moment, more than 2,000 people were on the front of this three-mile-wide front, more than 100 cloud ladders, like ants, the escalators went straight up, and even many soldiers could already reach the place where the gap in the battlements was within reach.

Suddenly, there was a dense sound of bangs at the head of the city, followed by a huge shouting of killing, and the head of the city, where there were not a few figures in sight just now, stood up from behind the female wall and the battlements behind, and countless sergeants stood up, holding two steel forks in their hands, and they all took the ladder heads of these ladders.

Two or three people were holding such steel forks, exerting their strength in unison, and with their roars, these ladders, together with these Qin soldiers who climbed on top of the ladders, were pushed down alive, and these unlucky ladder soldiers fell heavily to the ground, falling dizzy, and some of the slightly weaker guys spit blood in their mouths, and they couldn't climb up.
