Chapter 209: Fighting

The next morning, it was still cloudy. Guan Ping had already woken up, washed under Zhou Xiong's service, and before he could eat, he went out of the city gate.

Outside the building, Zhang Bao and Li Fei looked at the west in armor, but they were not Guan Ping, a lazy ghost, they had already gotten up.

"How's it going?" Guan Ping didn't put on his armor, but also stretched his waist and yawned, rubbed his eyes, and asked.

are all their own brothers, Zhang Bao, Li Fei is not surprised by Guan Ping's appearance.

"The well cart and the ladder truck are all erected. There will be a war today. Li Fei said. This product often chats with Ma Jian about military affairs, and his temperament is completely different from Zhang Bao.

"Reasonable." Guan Ping nodded, and then ordered Zhou Xiong to put on armor for himself, armor and green robes, press the hilt of his sword, and inspect the city wall.

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency!"

At present, the people guarding the west of the city are Guan Ping and Zhang Bao's men. When these people saw Guan Ping coming to inspect the city wall, they lowered their heads one by one as if they were waves, and called their lords.

The reverence is beyond words.

This is not a child of Xinye, or a child of Fangling, who is the most loyal.

Guan Ping nodded from time to time, and when he met the old subordinates of Xinye when he was Sima, he stopped to talk for a while, and these old subordinates who talked to Guan Ping naturally puffed up their chests, which was quite honored.

The commander inspects the city wall to stabilize people's hearts. It is also Guan Ping's job. Of course, Guan Ping also looked at the situation of the garrison materials, and saw that bows and arrows were piled up on the city, and stones, wood, and oil pots had begun to burn.

Inside each pan of oil is a large spoon. When the time comes, hot oil pours down. This thing is actually not very lethal, but it can make the opponent's soldiers feel painful and wail, which is very demoralizing.

Guan Ping returned to the city gate tower after inspecting the city wall, and began to eat breakfast without removing his armor, and just after eating a bowl of porridge, there was already a loud noise outside the city.

Guan Ping put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out of the city gate tower again. I saw that the outside of the city was very different, and thousands of people and horses were slowly coming towards the city wall amid the sound of drums.

There were twenty well carts, with shieldmen and archers on them, and the height of the well carts was level with the city walls.

Thirty ladder carts, this kind of cart is at a forty-five degree angle, the ladder on the cart is erected on the city wall, the characteristic is that it will not be overturned, the wood is very hard, and it is difficult to split with knives and axes.

The rest of the soldiers were mostly archers, shieldmen, and swordsmen. Behind the team, there is a banner with the word "Yang", and under the banner is a general with a gun, and the left and right soldiers ride from the guard.

"I'm afraid this person is Yang Ang." Guan Ping looked at it, hating that he didn't have a snidal gun in his hand, otherwise it would be refreshing to put down Yang Ang with one shot.

Today's sky is a little dark, the wind is a little strong, blowing the big fly behind Guan Ping, and the flag with the word "Guan" on his head is hunting.

The people in the city neighed, and the air of slaughter filled the sky.

This is the battlefield.

Guan Ping has also been in battle and killed people, but the scenes he experienced before are completely incomparable with today's scenes.

"The big war is about to start, please go into the city gate tower to rest." Zhang Bao took care of Guan Ping very much, turned his head and said.

The main reason is that this stinky boy has a different identity now, but he is the commander of the first army. In the past, Zhang Bao and Guan Ping were the same, and they were trained as generals since childhood.

"My brother really looks down on people, I'm standing in the city, and I'm wearing armor, can I still be killed?" Guan Ping glanced at Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao glared at Guan Ping, and didn't care about him, just squinted at Zhou Xiong, who understood that he ordered his soldiers to set up a shield to protect Guan Ping.

At this time, the other party's car has been pushed to a very close distance. The shieldmen of the opposing side covered the sword hands in the rear, and the archers still slowly moved forward.

And the archers on both sides have already handed over.

"Whoosh !!!" The archers of the Fangling army defending the city were also well-trained enough to judge the distance of the opponent, and at the moment when the distance arrived, they put the bowstring and shot arrows.

After shooting the arrow, he ignored it, continued to draw the arrow from the quiver, and then shot at the opponent as if he didn't want money.

Except for a few archers, the rest of the archers probably just aim, and they don't need to shoot accurately, they only need to suppress firepower.

At the same time, the archers standing on the opponent's twenty well carts had the same height distance as the archers of the Fangling defenders, and they also shot arrows one after another.

For a time, many soldiers on both sides were shot arrows.

Both sides have shield holders, and the leather armor also has a certain protective power, and it is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to penetrate the leather armor with one arrow and reach the vital point.

Only the unlucky guy is hit in the neck, or the face will die on the spot.

But even so, the scene became bloody for a while.

"Ding, ding, ding." One of the shield bearers defending the city was shot by five bows and arrows in the blink of an eye, and because it was not an iron shield, the arrows were stuck in the top, as if they had become swords and shields.

"Poof, poof."

Many archers and ordinary soldiers were shot by arrows, and only a few were killed on the spot, but many were wounded and bleeding.

"Be careful to hide, and when you release the arrows, you will immediately dodge. When the bow is fully rounded, then he will shoot it. One of the Dubbs hid behind the female wall and gave orders to the soldiers of the department.

At this moment, an ordinary soldier on his left fell to the ground, and Dubo looked at it, shook his head, and was hit by an arrow in the neck, although he was not completely dead, but he was already hopeless.

Duber was ruthless, raised the knife in his hand, and gave the soldier a good time.

In the middle of the move, one of the soldiers on Dubo's right fell to the ground again, and this soldier was lucky enough to be hit by an arrow in the shoulder. Du Bo hurriedly cut off the arrow on the soldier's shoulder and said, "There is no way now, wait for the opponent's offensive to stop, and then you will go for treatment." ”

"No." The soldier was in unbearable pain, but he had no choice but to hide behind the female wall. By the way, let's see if we can help later.

This soldier is a disciple of Fangling, thanks to the terrain of Fangling, he often hunts in the mountains, injuries are commonplace, and his personality is extremely tenacious.

Poor mountains and bad waters produce the people, but they also produce powerful warriors.

Moreover, Guan Ping won the hearts of the people in Fangling, and the soldiers were willing to die for it. People say that Zhang Lu in Hanzhong has won the hearts of the people, and Guan Ping is enough to match.

And there are not many soldiers, but in the deployment of men and horses, the comprehensive strength of the generals, commanders, and strategists of both sides is considered.

So Guan Pingcai conceited and said to Xu Hu, enough to be enemies.

After a few rounds of arrows, the soldiers of the defenders in the city suffered a lot of casualties, but there must have been many more Zhang Lujun. Although because of the well car, the height of the archers on both sides is the same.

But how many archers can stand in twenty well cars? And there are a lot of archers on the side of the Fangling army, because there are many mountain people, many hunters, and there are many who can use bows and arrows.

Although during daily training, he was obviously a pikeman and could also be used as an archer, Guan Ping had already prepared for this, and brought many bows and arrows from Fangling, plus Hucheng was a military stronghold, Zhang Bao preserved the materials in the city and got many bows and arrows.

A lot of archers brings a lot of kill.

The casualties of Zhang Lu's army under the city were at least twice as many as those of the defenders in the city. After a few rounds of arrows, the opponent's well cart had long ceased to move forward, but the ladder cart braved the arrows and kept moving forward, and finally reached the front of the moat.

The soldier of the cart manipulated the mechanism and set up the ladder on the wall. As soon as the ladder was erected on the wall, the Swordman and Shield Man immediately climbed up the ladder with his shield in an attempt to charge the city.

The defenders of Fangling, who had already been prepared, picked up stones and threw wood at the sword and shield hands one after another. Of course, the shield had a certain effect, but many people were still smashed down the ladder and turned over and fell into the moat.

Even though there is a shield to protect, but the shield is too small to protect the whole body, the hot grease fell, and suddenly it seemed to be burning, and the shield hands immediately screamed and fell into the moat.

The war began to reach a stalemate, and the archers only knew how to release arrows. The casualties of the soldiers on both sides began to rise at a very rapid rate.

Zhang Lujun only had thirty ladder trucks, and it was too difficult to break through from these thirty locations.

Under the banner of the word "Yang" in the rear, Yang Ang, as a general, knew that if this continued, it would only increase casualties.

"Order General Wang to send people to fill the moat and erect fifty ladders." Yang Ang said to a herald beside him.

"No."

The herald answered the promise and rode down. Soon after, a "king" banner left the camp, and a large number of soldiers followed.

Numerous soldiers rushed out of the camp carrying sacks full of sand and gravel under the protection of shield bearers. These soldiers risked their lives to fill in fifty roads on the moat.

Of course, these soldiers were met with the merciless shooting of the archers of the city. Zhang Lujun, who was besieging the city under the city, had more than twice as many casualties as the defenders, or even twice as many as the defenders.

As the war dragged on, fifty roads were finally filled in for the moat. Yang Ang ordered General Wang to send out fifty ladders to construct more siege routes.

And these soldiers, who carried ladders and advanced under the protection of shield soldiers, became the targets of the archers in the city. When they finally came to the city and erected ladders, they had to face the attack of stones, wood, and grease from the defenders.

Of course, the archers on Zhang Lu's military well car, as well as the archers who were as far forward as possible under the protection of the shield bearers, were also encouraged to shoot arrows to protect their own soldiers.

The two sides fought above and below the walls, and it can be said that with every breath that passed, one of the soldiers could be wounded or killed.

At this moment, in the air, there are not only drums, roars, arrows, and screams, but not only murderous aura filling the sky.

But because of the blood flowing out, the air became viscous and disgusting, which was the smell of blood.

The cruelty of the battlefield and the cruelty of human beings are unscrupulously reflected at this moment. In the sky, vultures began to circle.

Let out a terrible scream, as if mocking the humans. Like a pre-dinner roar, they can't wait to swoop down and devour flesh.

Whether it is good or evil, war is nothing more than cannibalism after all.
