After the Chu army reached the city, the vanguard Chu general immediately shouted: "Quick, raise the shield to defend, the archers shoot at the city wall, suppress the archers on the city wall, and the other soldiers set up ladders and prepare to capture the city wall." ”

The first to attack the walls were the archers, and many archers, escorted by shield soldiers, began to shoot at the walls, and although they succeeded, they succeeded in suppressing the archers on the walls. As the archers continued to shoot, the arrows falling on the walls were noticeably thinner.

At the same time, the ladder was quickly erected under the control of the soldiers, and the hook tightly grasped the city wall and fixed the ladder under the city, and then, many soldiers raised their shields and swords, and climbed up the ladder with an inclination of only fifty or sixty degrees.

Some of the soldiers who climbed the ladder were hit by a rolling log thrown from the city wall and fell off the ladder, and some were pushed down with spears by the Yue people after approaching the city wall. Of course, there were also many soldiers who eventually jumped onto the city wall and were then besieged and killed by the Yue.

As the Chu army continued to climb the city wall, the Yue people shot fewer arrows under the city.

After the battle of the ladders, more wooden ladders, at an angle of seventy or eighty degrees, were placed straight under the city wall. Then the soldier climbed the ladder up.

Compared with the ladder, the defenders have more means to deal with ordinary wooden ladders, rolling logs, gravel, gold juice, fire oil, etc.

Although there are many means to deal with wooden ladders, similarly, the number of wooden ladders is far more than that of cloud ladders, and as the Chu army climbed the city wall along the wooden ladders, for a while, the pressure in the city increased greatly.

In the formation of the Chu army, after Tang Yu saw that the vanguard was engaged in a battle with the Yue, he ordered again: "Order, trebuchet, rush to attack the city immediately." ”

"No."

As the trebuchets of the Chu army began to be put into the battlefield, many Yue people who faced this kind of equipment for the first time were suddenly shocked, although they were stoned to death, but every stone that fell on the city wall, the huge movement caused by it, was very bluffing and shocking.

It turns out that not only the defenders of the city can throw stones, but also the people who besiege the city under the city can also throw stones.

Of course, a dozen pounds of stones, as heavy as more than 20 pounds, for the siege of the city, the effect is only that, more is to hit the morale of the defenders.

What the Chu army can really rely on is the soldiers who climb the wall.

As many soldiers climbed the city wall, the city wall was originally surrounded by five or six Yue people to kill one Chu person, but gradually became two or three people besieging one person.

After a while, it became two or three people fighting against two or three people.

The war has become an even more tragic white-knuckle battle, and the only thing the two sides can do is to keep throwing soldiers into the battlefield until the end, to see who can't hold on first.

For the defenders of the city, the only advantage is that once the wooden ladder or cloud ladder is destroyed, then the Chu army will be cut off from backup, and the defenders can quickly clean up the Chu army on this section of the city wall, and then wait for the next wave of Chu troops to replace with a new ladder and climb up again.

The war was fought from morning to noon, then from noon to dusk, and finally, until it was dark, the Chu army dispersed.

At night, in the Chu camp.

Tang Yu's face was as usual, and he asked Zhao Ying and Sima Jian in front of him in a calm tone: "Two generals, I don't know how the battle on the east and west sides is like in today's siege battle?" ”

Zhao Ying shook his head, and said with a heavy face: "General Hui, the resistance of the Yue people in the east is very fierce, and our army has not been able to occupy a small section of the city wall for a whole day today, and the soldiers are often killed or driven down by the Yue people as soon as they climb the city wall." Our troops suffered many casualties. ”

Sima Jian nodded and said: "General, the same is true in the west of the minister's place, and the resistance of the Yue people is very tenacious. ”

Hearing this, Tang Yu was noncommittal, and pondered for a moment before he said: "The same is true for the general to attack the north, and the resistance of the Yue people is very strong. However, after today's battle, the city's flaws have also been exposed.

One of the biggest flaws is that there are very few weapons in the city, not only are there no catapults, but even strong crossbows are few. The only thing the Yue people could rely on was the resistance of the defenders. However, our Chu army came extremely quickly, and there were so few guards in the city, let alone soldiers from other places who came to reinforce them.

Therefore, the general thought that the biggest reliance of Huiji City was the defenders, but its flaws were also in the defenders. ”

As he spoke, Tang Yu said sharply: "I would like to see how many Yue people in the city can be consumed with my Chu army."

The order will go down, and tomorrow will continue to storm Huiji City, continue to fight with the Yue people in the city, and fight the defenders in the city. ”

"No."

The next day, the Chu army launched a strong attack again, just like yesterday, the same tactics, the same offensive, and the same result in the end.

The next three days of storming were still the same.

Day 6.

The Chu army still maintained the fierce offensive of the previous few days, and it seemed that the previous five days had been fruitless, and it had no impact on the Chu army.

Wars are fought from morning to noon, and from late afternoon to afternoon.

At this time, on a section of the city wall in the north, several Chu troops struggled to cut down the Yue people in front of them, and were about to kill on both sides, but they saw that the people on both sides were also Chu troops, and within three zhang of the surrounding area, there were no Yue people, all Chu people.

However, the Yue people did not check for a while, and the reinforcements were too late, and this small section of the city wall had been occupied by the Chu army.

Seeing this, he was stunned, and immediately someone pulled out the flag of the Yue people, and said urgently: "Quick, protect this area, and wait for the brothers in the city to come to support." ”

As soon as the people around heard the reminder, they immediately formed groups of five or five, leaving the open space in the middle, and then fought hard to kill on both sides.

At this time, the Chu generals who were commanding the siege of the city saw that the Yue people's banner on a small section of the city wall suddenly fell, and there was a Chu soldier waving on the city wall, and immediately ordered: "Quick, our army has already controlled a section of the city wall, immediately send people to support, put the flag of our Chu army on the city, and let the soldiers concentrate on the location of the banner."

In addition, three ladders were immediately dispatched to support. ”

"No."

Soon, a Chu flag was planted on the head of Huiji City.

Seeing this, the Chu soldiers under the city immediately boosted their morale and moved closer to the direction of the Chu banner, intending to break through the gap here and break through the city in one fell swoop.

In the formation of the Chu army, Tang Yu saw that the Chu army had already controlled a section of the city wall, and immediately rejoiced: "Order, immediately send reinforcements to support and strengthen the offensive on the city." ”

On the other side, Qian Belly, who personally guarded the north wall, learned that a small section of the city wall was controlled by the Chu people, and was shocked, and immediately shouted: "Quick, immediately send reinforcements, recapture the city wall, and drive the Chu people down." ”

"No."

Soon, the two sides started a more fierce battle around this small section of the city wall.

Although the determination of the Yue people to recapture the city wall was very strong, the offensive was also fierce. However, the speed of reinforcement of the Chu army was very fast, and often one Chu person was killed, and another Chu person had already made up.

Then, with the completion of the erection of the ladder of the Chu army, the speed of support was accelerated.

After a bloody battle, the Chu army not only firmly controlled this section of the city wall, but also quickly expanded the gap of three or four zhang to five zhang.

Seeing that the city wall could not be recaptured, and there were signs of being repulsed, the Yue people immediately reported to Qian Yu: "Report... General, the Chu army is constantly reinforced, we can't recapture the city wall, and the Chu people are attacking strongly, and the gap is expanding, please send people to support immediately. ”

Qian Bei's face turned pale when he heard this, and although he gritted his teeth, he ordered: "Order, transfer three hundred of the five hundred soldiers who are preparing for war under the city to support, and we must drive the Chu people down." ”

"No."

At this time, under the continuous impact of the Chu army, the city wall controlled by the Chu army soon expanded from five zhang to six zhang.
