The 50,000 foot soldiers of the Wu army carried 500 pairs of one-meter-wide inclined wooden shelves that were extremely heavy, and ran and charged towards the head of Danyang County from five miles away.

They charged, each set of wooden frames separated several feet from each other, to avoid being hit by muskets and artillery.

And behind them, this is a light cavalry of 10,000 people.

They're Overseers!

The infantry soldiers who dared to retreat and flee for their lives were killed.

They are also stormtroopers.

Once the five hundred wooden frames were placed under the city and a 500-meter-wide ramp was erected, they would immediately charge at the top of the city.

Behind them, as many as 140,000 troops, were slowly advancing.

"Ten bronze artillery, aim for three miles!"

"Shoot ——!"

Chu Tianxiu held a telescope in his hand, looked at Wu Jun with a cold gaze, and said in a deep voice.

The speed of fire from the bronze artillery is very slow, and it is estimated that there is only one chance to open the cannon, and the Wu army will rush to the foot of the city.

The Danyang soldiers immediately adjusted the firing angle of the bronze cannon and lit the fuse.

"Boom~——!"

Danyang City's head seemed to tremble a few times.

Ten bronze cannons opened fire at the same time, and huge projectiles flew towards the Wu army's large array three miles away.

The iron projectile that roared out hit the large array of the Wu army, rolling over and rolling, splashing up a piece of sand and gravel, and there was a miserable scream in an instant, and hundreds of Wu soldiers fell.

However, the iron projectile did not hit the wooden frame of the slope.

Although many of the soldiers fell, the wooden frame remained intact. The fallen soldiers were quickly replaced by others.

The 50,000-strong battalion of the Wu army was slightly confused, but soon calmed down and continued to charge.

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help frowning when he saw this effect.

It seems that the bronze cannon is still not suitable for hitting people, and the effect is very low, but it is used to hit huge objects, warships, ladders, trebuchets, etc., to destroy city gates and so on.

After a while, Wu Jun rushed to a mile away.

"All a hundred small steel cannons ready! Aim a mile away! ”

Chu Tianxiu drank again.

He didn't hold back, and hundreds of small steel cannons were all pulled up.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Hundreds of iron projectiles roared and flew towards the Wu army's camp.

The hit rate of the small steel cannon was obviously much higher, and more than twenty or thirty pairs of slope wooden frames were hit, and they were instantly smashed and scattered.

The rest of the iron projectiles splattered on the ground, killing and injuring a group of soldiers around them.

Wu's infantry soldiers suffered more than 1,200 casualties, triggering an even bigger riot.

But.

For 50,000 Wu troops and 500 pairs of slope wooden frames, this "slight" loss is obviously completely bearable.

The 50,000 Wu army, a mile away, stagnated slightly, and accelerated towards the head of Danyang City again.

The entire head of Danyang City felt a suffocating murderous aura coming to the face.

"Six thousand gunpowder gunners, aim!!"

Chu Tianxiu shouted.

Six thousand Danyang soldiers, armed with gunpowder guns in their hands, aimed at the city at the head of the city, and rushed to the Wu army within 100 steps.

In order to ensure that there were no gaps between the five hundred pairs of slope wooden frames, the team was rapidly closing and assembling towards the center.

"Fire!"

Bang!

Bang!

Six thousand small iron bullets instantly rushed towards the 50,000 Wu army foot soldiers who rushed over in a dense manner.

There is no need to aim at all, it is all people who hit.

A moment.

Wu soldiers screamed again and again, and a large number of soldiers fell.

A hundred steps away from Danyang City, nearly 3,000 soldiers fell down and died very close to the city.

"Rush, ——!"

"Be the first to rush under the city wall, and reward a thousand taels of silver!"

General Wu Jun roared angrily.

In the last hundred paces, the Wu soldiers and soldiers were crazy. Feeding with all his strength, gritting his teeth, he rushed to the corner of the wall with the wooden frame on the slope.

However, when they rushed closer, they realized that something was wrong.

At the foot of Danyang City, two zhang away, there was already a row of wooden horses more than ten miles long. put the entire Danyang City in a circle.

These horses are also simple, a thick long log, with some forks.

These horses were only about one meter six or seven meters tall, about the same height as the soldiers, and they were all tied together by wire and nails.

It's easy for soldiers to get through, but any slightly larger siege equipment will definitely be blocked by the rejection of horses.

Five hundred wooden frames of the slope were blocked by the horses, and they could not pass at the foot of the city.

If the wooden frame of the slope is placed directly outside the horse, then it is still two feet away from the end of the city wall.

Two zhang away is seven meters, and the horse can't jump over!

Of course, people can't skip it.

That's a chasm.

It's just a little bit worse, but it brings them huge trouble.

All the horses outside the city were wrapped in wires and nails nailed together, and they could never be moved.

During this time, the 50,000 elite soldiers of the imperial court were not idle in Danyang City, and they were trying to strengthen Danyang County. It was too late to raise the city wall, and it was still too late to build a large number of rejecting horses.

Before, because the distance was too far, Wu Jun did not see the situation at the foot of the city clearly.

General Wu Jun didn't expect such a long row of horses at the foot of the city, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood in anger, and roared angrily at the surrounding soldiers, "What are you still stunned about, hurry up and split!" Cut off the rejection horse! ”

Many Wu soldiers and soldiers immediately brandished their swords, rushed up, and slashed wildly at the rejection horse.

However, the horses were made of thick logs, and were entwined with wire. Even with an axe, how easy is it to cut them off?!

"Ready!"

Chu Tianxiu waved his hand.

Six thousand Danyang musketeers were reloading their ammunition, and after quickly reloading, they opened fire again. The rate of fire of a powder gun is about two rounds a minute.

Wu Jun is a few dozen steps below the city, of course, it means where to fight, and there is no need to worry about not being able to hit anyone.

Bang~Bang~Bang~!

When the smoke cleared, thousands of soldiers of the Wu army fell.

In just a short period of time, the 50,000 Wu troops have already lost as many as 10,000 people, which can be described as tragic.

In normal battles, they would have turned around and run long ago.

However, he did not dare to run. Behind them were 10,000 light cavalry, armed with knives ready to cut off heads. And behind these 10,000 light cavalry is the main army of the Wu army with 150,000 pressing formations.

Whoever runs dies!

Only by capturing Danyang City can there be a way to live.

Finally, the Wu soldiers pried open a gap and broke a rejection horse. They immediately carried the disconnected horses and moved them to the sides, clearing a gap five hundred meters long.

"Slope wooden frame, give it to Lao Tzu! Blocked by the walls! ”

General Wu Jun roared angrily.

The remaining nearly 40,000 Wu soldiers and soldiers worked hard to carry the heavy slope wooden frame and finally put it under Danyang City.

A 500-meter-wide slope was built.

And down the slope.

10,000 light cavalry had already lined up in a phalanx, a line of 300 cavalry, 300 marching cavalry. They drew their swords and prepared to leap to the top of the city.

"Bring a hundred oil drums at once, prepare to pour oil, and burn their wooden ladders!"

Chu Tianxiu drank the order.

Many of the soldiers defending the city carried a hundred oil drums, and when they reached the top of the city, they smashed the oil drums with their knives and fell down the wooden ladder on the slope.

The oil drums rolled down, and the wooden shelves of the slope were all covered with oil.

Li Yu took out a pair of bows and arrows, lit a rocket, and aimed it at the wooden frame.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as an arrow fell, the 500-meter-wide slope wooden frame turned into a sea of fire.

However, it is not easy to burn these slope wooden frames in a short period of time. They're all soaked in water, and they're wet wood. Even if oil is poured on it, it will not burn quickly without a few sticks of incense.

The 10,000 light cavalry of the Wu army saw a large number of oil drums full of oil rolling down, a rocket falling, and the wooden frame of the slope burning, apparently hesitated, and did not immediately charge.

It was obviously doubtful that the war horse would be able to rush through such a long period of burning fire.

However, Wu Jun obviously had already responded to the burning of the wooden frame on the slope.

Wouldn't it be a joke if the huge siege slope they had worked on all night had been burned by a fire in an instant!

"The whole sergeant obeyed the order, untied the dirt bag from his waist, and poured dirt on the wooden frame!"

General Wu Jun shouted.

The 40,000 foot soldiers under the wooden frame of the slope immediately took a heavy five-pound bag of dirt from their waists and threw it on the wooden frame of the slope.

They did not rush up to the top of the city, but threw down their dirt bags on the wooden shelves on the slope and walked away, and spread them all the way to the top.

They used small bags of cloth to carry more than 200,000 catties of soil. Enough to lay a wooden frame on the slope and spread a thick layer of earth.

Covered with soil, the slope wooden frame is difficult to burn.

These bags of dirt completely covered the easily burned wooden racks with earth. Even if oil is poured on it, it is difficult to burn these slope wooden frames in a short time.

Wherever the dirt is spread, the fire is extinguished.

Soon, the wooden frame of the slope was completely covered with a thick layer of earth, and the raging flames on the surface were quickly extinguished.

At the head of Danyang City, Chu Tianxiu, Li Yu, Prince Xiang Tiange and others were stunned.

The Wu army fought like a flowing cloud, and the offensive was so fierce, step by step, and it was very disciplined.

It is no wonder that when King Wu was young, he attacked the city and plundered the land like a tiger, and was once known as a fierce general of the Great Chu Dynasty. Except for Li Rong, the king of Ping, no one was convinced.

In front of Wu Wang Xiang Bi, the ordinary Great Chu generals are not enough to look at at all.

"The whole army obeys the order!"

"Charge!"

One of the cavalry generals of the Wu army shouted.

He took the lead.

Thundered!

The tens of thousands of cavalry of the Wu army charged directly towards the head of the city along the 500-meter-wide, mud-covered slope wooden frame.
