Chapter 236: Bloody Battle (4)

Of course, it was impossible to repeat the mistake of attacking Lü Gong again, and he realized that the first attack on the Wu army was too aggressive, and he only knew that he was desperately rushing forward, lacking due protection, so that the Wei army's defense was too easy.

It's not that in the first round of the attack, the Wu army didn't have archers to cover behind, but there weren't too many of them to put enough pressure on the defenders.

Therefore, in the second attack, Lü Ju mobilized a large number of archers and rushed to the city, at this time, the trenches under the city have almost been filled, in addition to sandbags and soil bags, there are also the corpses of Wu soldiers, no matter how wide the ravine can not be filled.

If the first round of attack is still tentative, then the second round of attack, the Wu army in the configuration of troops, is much more perfect, in addition to archers, bed crossbows, siege vehicles, rushing vehicles These heavy weapons have also appeared, Wu army began to exert force, trying to take Anfeng City in one go.

The newly transferred archers alone are as many as 5,000 people, which is undoubtedly far superior to the Wei army in terms of firepower.

The difficulty of shooting from the top is higher than that of shooting from the bottom, but the Wu army dispatched several times the strength of the Wei army's archers, and the advantage is still obvious.

The second round of the offense, starting with the shooting between the two sides, officially kicked off.

The Wei army could hide behind the battlements, poke bows and arrows out from between the battlements to shoot, or even shoot directly from the firing holes of the battlements.

The Wu army implemented diffuse shooting, shooting aimlessly in the sky, this attack method was simple and trouble-free, and the Wu army archers almost didn't even need to aim, as long as they looked in the general direction, they could shoot with their bows.

If it is a single soldier shooting arrows like this, it is ineffective at all, but thousands of archers are gathered together, but it is very effective, the rain of arrows in the sky is almost no space to dodge, the Wei army in the city has been hit by arrows, injured a large number of people, and the rest of the people almost dare not show their heads again, can only hide under the base of the city, watching the arrows above their heads whistling by.

Someone tried to poke their heads out to see what was going on, but as soon as they appeared, an arrow pierced the eye.

Not to mention that Wu Jun's arrows are so accurate, but under this kind of sky-high attack, Wei Jun can't even show his head, as long as he sticks his head on the battlement, he is guaranteed to receive an arrow.

Under the cover of the overwhelming rain of arrows of the Wu army, the Danyang Jinjun launched another attack.

The bed crossbow was equipped with huge arrows, huge arrows, and arrows with the thickness of small arms, and each arrow shot out was like a thunderbolt, whistling by.

Such crossbow arrows, both in range and strength, are far more ferocious than ordinary archers.

The heavy equipment of the Wu army was relatively small, and the whole army was only equipped with dozens of bed crossbows, even if these bed crossbows were amazingly powerful, the number was a huge shortcoming, not enough to influence the course of the war.

But Lu Yi was not in a hurry, these bed crossbows were not used to attack the city head, he concentrated these bed crossbows in one place, and shot the crossbow arrows at the city wall.

The huge iron arrowhead was firmly nailed to the city wall with the impact force, and the rammed earth city wall could not resist such a powerful arrow at all, and all the arrows did not enter the wall, leaving only most of the arrow shaft exposed.

Dozens of bed crossbows were put into use at the same time, and the huge arrows roared out, and they were all nailed to the wall with a whizz, and the nails were relatively even, one arrow next to the other, forming an upward slope in a row.

The arrows shot in this way have a name, called "stepping arrows".

The treadmill arrow is to nail the thick arrow into the rammed earth wall to form a word slope arrangement, so that it is convenient for the besieging infantry to step on it.

In the first wave of attacks, the Wu army lost a lot of ladders, and later made up for a lot of ladders, but it was completely insufficient for the use of the Wu army, so Lü was able to mobilize the bed crossbow and make the arrows to facilitate the Wu army's landing in the city.

Compared with ordinary ladders, in addition to the dead can not move, the other effects of the arrow are not less than the ladder, or even more than that, the firm arrow shaft is not easy to be destroyed, both strong and stable.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Wei army did not slow down, the siege soldiers of the Wu army were already rushing forward and continued to attack Anfeng City.

Under the dense rain of arrows, it was difficult for the Wei army to raise its head, so when the Wu army pounced on the ladder and the treadmill arrows, the Wei army was almost unprepared.

However, there was still a time when the Wu army's arrow rain eventually stopped, and when the Wu army rushed to the city, in order to avoid accidental injury, all bows and arrows stopped attacking.

The Wei army finally won a breather under the dense rain of arrows, but before they could catch their breath, the Wu army had already pounced.

The Wei army struggled to resist and continued to use a variety of means, desperately trying to keep the Wu army out of the city walls.

But the number of Wu troops was actually too much, the east was not bright, the west was bright, and finally in some areas, the Wu army rushed to the city.

Wu Bing, who rushed to the head of the city, seemed to be very excited, in their opinion, the huge bounty was already one step closer.

But Wang Ji was not in a hurry when this situation happened, when defending the city, it was inevitable that the hundred secrets would be neglected, and some enemy soldiers would rush to some areas, but as long as the number of enemy soldiers was not too much, the defenders could completely kill them on the top of the city, and the confidence of the enemy soldiers who had just risen was knocked out again.

Therefore, at the head of the city, Wang Ji arranged elite squads that were close to each other, and they did not participate in the defense, but recuperated and waited for the Wu army to rush up.

It can be said that they are completely the elite of foot combat, and they are the last line of defense of the city, if even they can't resist the final attack of the Wu army, then the defense line of the city will completely collapse.

At this moment, the Wu army attacked the city, and those elite squads immediately pounced, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Wu army, and slashed and slaughtered.

After all, the Wu army that attacked was a small minority, and in the face of absolute strength, these soldiers could not resist the Wei army's rush at all.

I thought it was one step closer to the bounty, but I didn't expect it to be one step closer to Huangquan Road, they were invincible, and they were quickly killed by the Wei army.

Killing the successful Wu soldiers in the city is another heavy blow to the morale of the Wu army, just imagine, the victory was in sight, but in the end it was found that it was still far away, such a situation may only deepen the disappointment, and then doubt the success of the siege.

Wang Ji's experience in defending the city is very sophisticated, no matter what kind of situation arises, he can deal with it calmly and in an orderly manner, so no matter how tense the situation in the city is, or even dangerous, but in the end, he can always turn the corner into safety.
