"Fortunately, Yang Xiong didn't name me to be the first to die......"

Early the next morning, standing under the outer Yellow City, looking at the three tuns in front of him through the faint smoke and dust, Heifu shouted happily.

The so-called first climbing, is the first to climb the city during the siege, although after success, ironclad will be able to get a collective merit, but Heifu calculated in his heart, ordinary siege is also counted, in the face of this kind of hard battle with about the same number of attackers and defenders, the casualties of the first striker will be great, and all the deaths are possible!

Moreover, when you meet a scheming boss like Yang Xiong, who takes the initiative to take the initiative, he will often fill in the ditch for him and die in a daze......

So when Yang Xiong's eyes swept over, Heifu looked at his nose and nose, and did not rush forward. Fortunately, there are many reckless men in the Qin army who are eager to make meritorious contributions first, and the two tun chiefs from Nanyang next to Heifu immediately got up to ask for battle, and Yang Xiong also readily agreed!

And Heifu and their tun are lined up behind these tuns, as the second echelon, hiding in a place more than 100 steps away from the west of the city, gathering next to them and waiting for the drum order.

As a thoughtful mid-level officer, Yang Xiong fights like him, never going straight, but likes to play some tricks.

He first ordered the prisoners to collect dry dung, straw, leaves, and other fuel, and set fires on the south and west sides of Waihuang. Then the sand and soil were used to extinguish the fire, causing thick smoke to billow, and with the southerly wind that is often in this season, it blew towards Waihuang, thus obscuring the view of Waihuangchengtou.

Then, Yang Xiong ordered hundreds of people to carry the newly made wooden ladder from the south of the city where the Qin army camp was located, and march loudly to make a posture of storming the south of the city! Yang Xiong also sat there himself, so that the city could see his banner, and beat the continuous sound of drums......

The sound is endless, and the drums are also intended to command the soldiers to gallop and attack. The drums were high and rapid, stirring the sky, so most of the defenders at the head of the outer Yellow City were attracted and focused on the south.

However, the west of the city, where the Hefu and the others are located, is the intended main direction of attack.

Since you want to attack the city, of course, you can't do without equipment, and the Qin army's siege method, in addition to the water and fire tunnels, is basically a building car, a catapult, a siege vehicle, and a ladder.

As the name suggests, the building car is a very good siege equipment, the same height as the city, there are wooden wheels under it, after pushing to the edge of the city, it is like building a bridge, and the siegers can jump directly into the city from the building car. Heifu had seen it under the Great Liang City, but this thing was too bulky to build, and it was difficult to carry, and it was not available at the moment.

Trebuchet? This era has appeared, but there is no one in the army, in the words of later generations, just to fight a small county town, what Italian artillery do you want?

The only thing that was there was a hastily built siege engine, a large wooden stake suspended from a beam, protected by a wooden roof covered with raw skin, and a wooden wheel below, pushed by a tun man, aiming at the city gate!

But the siege vehicle is bulky, it needs to be pushed forward, it is easy to scrap when encountering potholes, and someone has to fill the ditch along the way, even if it reaches the city gate, it is not realistic to hit the city gate with a wooden stake, not to mention the wood and stone arrows at the head of the city, in this case, the city gate is generally blocked with various things, even if the door latch is broken, it is difficult to break open.

Therefore, in addition to siege vehicles, the main siege method of the Qin army is still the ladder. It is not a more advanced ladder, but a bamboo, a famous bamboo flying ladder, with a single pole and a big bamboo, set up a multi-level rung, so that the hands and feet climb, the ladder head has a hook, so that it is firmly attached to the city wall......

Seeing that most of the people of the Huang Wei Dynasty were attracted to the south of the city, under the order of another 500 master Cheng Wuwu, the heralds ran back and forth between several tuns in the west of the city that were responsible for attacking the city, passing on the order to advance!

After the hundred generals got the order, they walked on the side, according to the relatively gentle rhythm of the step drum, knocked on the bamboo stick tiles in their hands, and the Qin soldiers followed one by one to follow the footsteps, through the faint smoke, towards the outer Huangxi city wall......

The first one, half of the men held shields and were responsible for attracting the fire of the city, and the other half were carrying door panels and the like, and were responsible for filling the ravines.

The second tun, five tithes, each carrying a three-zhang high bamboo flying ladder! After the road ahead is filled, they will run all the way, brave the arrows at the head of the city, build the bamboo ladder to the head of the city, and hold them to the death!

The third tun is the "first to ascend", they are all wearing heavy armor, holding short soldiers, the only duty is to climb along the bamboo ladder, climb to the head of the city, and take the city first!

Hef's tun followed, and if all the people in front of them died, they had to be on top......

Looking at the city wall that was getting closer and clearer in front of him, walking on the side of Heifuzi, Bu Cheng, who had already tied his hair in a bun, swallowed his saliva and muttered: "I have calculated, the "Book of Days" said, today's attack, attack the city, behead the enemy generals, and you will win the prince!" ”

He originally wanted to encourage himself and the morale of the robe, but this caused a dry laugh, and Ji Ying also scolded: "You are a day, you have miscalculated, a small county town, how can there be a prince?" “

Everyone laughed for a while, but the tension dissipated a little, but soon, everyone's expressions tensed again.

They had entered the city fifty paces away, and the smoke could no longer hide their whereabouts, and the Wei people at the head of the city had discovered this menacing Qin army! Start ringing the bell!

The rhythm of the hundreds of generals tapping on the bamboo tiles immediately changed! From a slow step drum to a rapid drum, a few tuns began to spread out and run desperately!

However, they had already entered the range of the city, and a burst of scattered crossbow arrows came, and several Qin soldiers carrying wooden planks to fill the ravines seemed to have been hit by fists and fell to the ground......

The attackers also dealt with this side, and the two tuns on their flanks, all tall and slender men, followed up here, and stood still thirty paces below the city, and began to draw arrows and draw their bows, and release a rain of arrows towards the city......

The rain of arrows in film and television dramas looks domineering, but in reality it is not easy to do, there are not so many arrows, and there are not so many archers, so you can only cover the city for a short time. It can't cause much damage, and the main role is still as fire support, to win a little gap for the siege troops.

But in this instant, it was enough for the Qin people to carry the bamboo flying ladder, span a distance of twenty or thirty steps, and rush to the city!

Although there were people carrying ladders on the way who were hit by arrows and fell, but soon someone filled the position, and several bamboo ladders were set up on the city wall without danger, and rushed to the first tun under the city, and also carried a skinned shield to protect them, holding down the ladder to death, and did not let the people in the city push it away!

Xiandengtun had also arrived at the bottom of the city, and with a few loud shouts, several armor soldiers climbed along different bamboo ladders at the same time, towards the head of the city! Someone immediately followed them.

At this time, Heifu's tun also reached the city wall, and while they raised their shields to help the people who stabilized the ladder to defend against arrows at the head of the city, they looked up at the robe and climbed the ladder.

Attacking the city with a bamboo ladder is also called "ant attached", which means that the soldiers are like ants, attached to the wall, and climb up.

But in this way, people are as fragile as black ants, in the eyes of the black man, the boiling water that is constantly pouring from the city, the falling wood, stone and bricks, and the crossbow arrows released at close range, almost every instant, there are the first armor soldiers to fall down.

Even a few warriors in heavy armor, with arrows, climbed to the battlements, but were stabbed by two spears and halberds, and lost their lives. After losing its strength, the corpse fell from the top of the city and slammed into the ladder......

Another Qin pawn who had just climbed to the top of the city, before he could jump into the battlements, he was stabbed in the chest by a sword, and his body fell diagonally under the city, almost hitting Heifu......

As Heifu had expected, the Tun, as the first to ascend, suffered heavy casualties, and soon there was not much left.

Heifu took a deep breath of battlefield air, and while others weren't looking, he slammed his thigh so that it wouldn't tremble.

Because next, it's your turn to Tundeng City!

Fortunately, at this time, under the order of the five hundred lords, the Qin army also launched a counterattack, and in addition to the archers, the more powerful crossbow was also in place. Fifty Zhang Caishi used their hands and feet to string the crossbow machine, and pulled the hanging knife against the Wei people who were desperate and kept throwing bricks and stones at the head of the city!

Without a hint, a crossbow bolt came from under the city, piercing the Wei people at the head of the city, and the county guard heard the whistling sound of the rain of arrows breaking through the air, and subconsciously raised the shield in his hand, and the sound of "clanging" was chaotic, occasionally mixed with a few painful moans. More than a dozen Wei light warriors and minfu were killed and wounded by fierce crossbow arrows due to the lack of strong protection, and the sound of painful moans was endless.

The counterattack at the head of the city was stopped, and taking advantage of this gap, Heifu shouted and shouted to the Dongmen leopard in the front row!

"Leopard, ascend to the city!"

"No!"

The Dongmen leopard roared, and he didn't want a shield anymore, but he took the lead, climbed the ladder, and went up with a sword!

The defenders suffered heavy casualties from the crossbow arrows fired by Fang Cai, and they did not recover for a while, and were actually jumped onto the city by the Dongmen leopard in a few steps.

This guy has not been able to fight for a long time and has been aggrieved for a long time, but when he got the opportunity, he shouted, turned left and right, and hit the enemy with a blade. Relying on the protection of two layers of thick armor, although he was stabbed by the spear, it was not fatal, but pinched the spear shaft and killed the opponent.

Dongmen Leopard was invincible for a while, and stubbornly protected the battlement of the flying ladder, taking advantage of this gap, Lixian and others also went up to the battlements one after another, and together with the remaining dozen or so people in Xiandengtun, they fought with the Wei people.

Here's your chance!

Hefu couldn't just shout "Give it to me!" at this time. "Because, the military judge is staring at the archer, as the commander, if he cowers, he can be held accountable afterwards and beheaded before the battle!

So Heifu gritted his teeth, and also chose a bamboo flying ladder and climbed up!

Although the city is not high, it is only three feet, but if you want to attack it in one go, it takes great courage......

There were screams, screams, blood, and arrows all around him, and the black man didn't hear it, because he knew that the more timid he retreated, the faster he would die!

He took out all the old foundation of obstacle training in the police academy in his previous life, and climbed extremely fast!

Soon, after avoiding a fallen brick, Hefu reached the top of the city, grabbed the edge of the city wall, and with the powerful explosive power in his body, his whole body tightened, and he used his hands and feet to rush to the city wall!

"It's finally up!"

However, as soon as Heifu jumped into the city, he saw a big man with a beautiful beard standing in front of him, his face was stained with a little blood, he was panting, and there was a Qin pawn who had ascended to the tun first, already dead!

The eyes of the two are together at this moment!
