This offensive and defensive battle has entered the most tragic battle from the very beginning, and the ant-attached siege method adopted by Sima Jun is destined to be a hand-to-hand battle of blood and fire.

It can be said that in guarding Jiexiu City, Yanghu spent a lot of thought, and everything that could be used as a weapon was exceptionally put on the city wall, becoming a sharp weapon for the Bingzhou army to kill the enemy.

Yanghu collected enough oil, and set up a cauldron on the city wall to boil the oil, so that the boiling oil is not only directly lethal, but also ready for the fire, a barrel of oil can destroy a ladder and a number of soldiers in Sima Jun, such a good deal, Yanghu of course hopes to do more and more.

Of course, the more means of the defenders, the better, and various types of weapons emerge in an endless stream to make the Sima army defenseless, whether it is a catapult suitable for long-range combat or a boiling oil suitable for close combat, it is a sharp weapon for the defense of Jiexiu City, they continue to destroy the confidence of the Sima army, so that their siege move becomes a kind of futility.

Sima Jun's siege army was still immersed in the excitement of successfully filling the trench with a chariot, but when it was really the turn to attack the city, it was like a slap in the face, Sima Jun launched a strong offensive operation, under the endless defense of the Bingzhou army, was hit hard, and the Sima army has never been able to break through the city defense of Jiexiu many times, but it is a loss of troops and heavy casualties.

Many ladders have been destroyed, and the state army uses a large number of boiling oil and fire, seriously damaged the ladder, although the Sima army is not short of people, but in the siege equipment, but not everything, now the ladder used, has almost all the ladders that the Sima army can collect, every time one is destroyed, the strength of the Sima army to attack the city has weakened, if these ladders are destroyed by the state army, then it is still a fart city.

Chen Qian and Sima Shi are frowning, using fire oil to defend the city, it is a common method, but most of the time, this can only be used as an auxiliary means, I have never heard of the city when defending desperately dumping fire oil without money, after all, that kind of resource is limited, even if you have money, it is impossible to use it indefinitely.

But it seems that the Bingzhou army has no scruples in this regard, and a large amount of fire oil was dumped down, destroying the ladder of Sima's army attacking the city.

Other weapons may be able to be guarded against, but this kind of thing, there is really no way, you just put a shield on it, people poured it up, and even your shield was burned, after all, the shield is also made of wood, this is really impossible to prevent.

Although he knew that the ladder was the biggest consumable during the siege of the city, while Sima Jun was besieging the city, the craftsmen in the barracks were also working day and night to build the ladder and other equipment, but according to this level of consumption, it was completely in short supply.

If there are more and more cloud ladders destroyed, then Sima Jun's siege action must be greatly affected, although Chen Qian and Sima Shi did not expect to take down Jiexiu City on the first day of the siege, but the criticality of this battle is self-evident, if it is not fought well today, it is likely to affect the morale of the army, and it will be unfavorable to the next attack, so today's first battle, we must play the momentum of Sima Jun, even if we can't take Jiexiu City, we must give the defenders a dismount.

But the current situation is just the opposite, although the offensive of the Sima army is like a tide, it only blossoms but does not bear fruit, only thunder does not rain, but the momentum of the offensive is suppressed by the Bingzhou army, and the family gives a dismount.

Siege is always a more difficult side than defending the city, although the strength of the Sima army is superior, twice as much as the state army, but in this siege battle, this advantage is not reflected in the slightest.

On the contrary, because the Bingzhou army was well prepared, all kinds of defensive weapons were available, and they emerged in an endless stream, so that Sima Jun had no temper at all, and it seemed that if he wanted to take Jiexiu City, it was really impossible to do it overnight.

Chen Qian suddenly had a plan, and hurriedly ordered: "Rush the car, rush the car and attack immediately!" ”

After the attack on the city wall was blocked, Chen Qian thought about changing the strategy of the attack, isn't Sima Jun still preparing to rush the car, at this time, while the attention of the Bingzhou army is on the city wall, it is better to send a rushing car to storm the city gate, maybe it can get a miraculous effect.

The rushing car is also called the siege car, it is a thick log suspended on the beam with a rope or iron chain inside, the back end of the log has a metal cap, the front end has a metal head, and it is mostly made into a sheep's head shape, called a battering ram. During the siege of the city, the soldiers in the siege vehicle grabbed the battering ram and moved backwards and slammed into the city gate, relying on inertia and kinetic energy to destroy the city gate or the latch structure behind the gate.

Sima Jun's siege cart was made very tall, and the top was also the same as the chariot, made of a spire covered with raw cowhide, so that when the siege cart was pushed under the city, it would not be damaged by the defenders' arrows.

The siege vehicle is a behemoth, it needs dozens of soldiers to push it forward, the movement speed is very slow, but its destructive power is very amazing, the battering ram that needs two people together to hold, is the only attack weapon of the siege vehicle, the siege vehicle can attack the city gate, can also attack the city wall.

Perhaps destroying rammed earth walls is the specialty of siege vehicles, but a brick city wall like Jiexiu, no matter how big the siege vehicle is and how thick the battering ram is, it is difficult to move the brick city wall.

Of course, Chen Qian saw the pros and cons clearly, and did not use siege engines to pound the city wall, but under the cover of a large number of soldiers, he rushed towards the city gate of Jiexiu.

At this time, the moat had been filled, and the suspension bridge that was originally placed on the moat had also been destroyed by Sima Jun, and all obstacles on the way of the siege vehicles had been cleared.

The only thing that siege vehicles are afraid of is the catapult, the siege vehicle is not as fast as the catapult, you can escape the blow of the catapult, they move slowly and are very large, they are particularly eye-catching on the battlefield, as long as the siege vehicle appears, it will immediately attract the attention of the state army, so it is also a difficult thing to escape the attack route of the catapult.

Therefore, Chen Qian sent siege vehicles to attack, not alone, but sent five or six at the same time, and marched together, so that the firepower of the catapults could be dispersed, as long as one of them could rush to the city gate and blast the gate of Jiexiu open, it would be considered a success.
