Suiyang City.

The commander of the Zhao army, Le Cheng, stood on a chariot in full armor, and beside him, countless Zhao soldiers surrounded him, and countless red flags flew fiercely in the air.

A few miles away in front of Lecheng, it was the Suiyang City that had been held for a month so that Lecheng could not be breached, and Duan Ganzi, who had no way to retreat, led all the military forces under his command to defend here, vowing to block the attack of the Zhao people.

"Beat the drums, march!"

As soon as Le Cheng gave an order, an earth-shattering drum beat immediately sounded in the Zhao army's array, and the dense drum beat was deafening, as if it was going to beat everyone's heart.

In front of Lecheng, thousands of soldiers of the Zhao army charged out like a tide, rushing to the head of Suiyang City in the distance.

At this moment, the tall head of Suiyang City was full of potholes smashed by trebuchets, and the Wei soldiers kept appearing behind the battlements, condescendingly shooting arrows at the Zhao soldiers who were charging on the ground.

Many Zhao soldiers had no time to dodge these ferocious arrows that fell from the sky, and they screamed and fell down.

But there were also more soldiers of the Zhao army holding shields to protect their bodies, carrying long ladders and rushing to the bottom of Suiyang City.

The moat outside the city has already been filled by the soldiers of the Zhao army in the past month of war, and it has been irrigated very tightly by the blood of this month, and at this moment, except for the tall city wall, Suiyang City has no barrier.

There was a huge breakthrough under the head of the city on the north side of Suiyang City, which was obviously much higher than other places, and the most fierce offensive of the Zhao army was concentrated here.

A moment later, hundreds of ladders began to be erected on the head of Suiyang City, and the most tragic siege battle began.

The soldiers of Zhao State climbed on the ladder like ants, holding shields in one hand and struggling to climb with their hands and feet on the other, trying to climb to the top of the city as fast as possible and start a white-knuckle battle with the enemy.

But it was clear that this siege method had long been commonplace for the Wei defenders in Suiyang City, and countless stones and arrows fell from the sky on the head of the city and fell on the heads of the Zhao soldiers.

There were also many ladders that were pushed away from the city under the concerted efforts of the soldiers of the Wei State, and the soldiers of the Zhao Army on the ladders fell from the sky to the ground with their teeth and claws in a miserable scream, splashing countless dust.

Lecheng looked at the situation in front of him very calmly, without any expression on his face.

In the opinion of the general, who was known for his safety, war was supposed to be like this, the attackers would pay a lot of lives and sacrifices to break through the city, and once the defense of the city head was breached, then the end of the seemingly superior defender would come in an instant.

The world is always fair, and temporary disadvantages will not mean forever, the difference is only whether you can hold on to that period of time.

It's just that at this time, Zhao Guo's siege of Suiyang City has lasted for a month, and Handan's patience has obviously been almost exhausted, and several urging orders have been issued for Lecheng.

Therefore, after calmly observing for half an hour, Lecheng gave the order very decisively.

"Come on, push all the eight-bull crossbows up!"

With Le Cheng's order, the fifty eight-bull crossbows that had already been prepared were immediately pushed out and slowly headed towards Suiyang City.

These fifty eight-bull crossbows were specially allocated for the purpose of destroying the Wei State this time, and they had exerted their power in the previous siege battles.

After a whole month of Suiyang offensive and defensive battles, Lecheng felt that it was time for this big killer to appear.

In fact, this is the first time that Lecheng has taken out all the eight-bull crossbows in his army to attack the city.

The crossbow machines of these eight-ox crossbows are all mounted on a very large board cart, and under the board cart are four huge wooden wheels, and each eight-ox crossbow has a full eighty Zhao soldiers beside it, except for the twenty wrestlers who are pushing the ballista forward with all their might, all of them have a large shield in their hands, obviously to guard against the arrows of the Wei people.

The speed of the Eight Ox Crossbow was not fast, and such a huge crossbow cart was advancing towards the head of Suiyang City with fifty crossbows forming a huge phalanx of thousands of people, so it was naturally impossible to hide the observation of the defenders at the head of the city.

So soon, the trebuchet at the head of Suiyang City began to exert its might.

Many boulders fell from the sky and fell in the phalanx of the Eight Bull Crossbows, each of these boulders weighed hundreds of catties, once they fell down, anyone as long as they were directly hit would instantly turn into a puddle of flesh, and a little rubbing it would also be a broken bone and tendon end.

Three eight-ox crossbows were hit by trebuchets on the spot, and they exploded in full view of everyone, countless wood chips flew everywhere, and the side of the ballista was filled with screams.

Le Cheng's brows furrowed, even at his distance, he could faintly hear the cheers of Suiyang City.

But soon the Wei people couldn't laugh, because after smashing a few eight-bull crossbows through the first attack wave, the luck of the Wei people seemed to end here.

Although there were still a series of boulders falling on the front and back of many eight-bull crossbows, directly killing and injuring many Zhao soldiers, but not even any eight-bull crossbows were broken by the Wei army.

After almost two quarters of an hour, the Eight Bull Crossbow Phalanx finally arrived under the city wall that was only three hundred steps away from Suiyang City.

This distance is actually a very dangerous distance, although the bow and arrows above the city may not be able to do anything against the eight-bull crossbow above this distance, but the crossbow arrows shot from the city head are enough to kill.

At such a moment, every minute and every second is crucial, so as soon as the phalanx stopped, the Captain Zhao, who was in charge of leading the entire Eight Bull Crossbow phalanx, immediately let out an angry roar.

"Reload! Heightened, first-class! ”

The wrestlers gathered together at once, and in a chorus of shouts, they turned their winches with great difficulty, and in a series of tooth-aching squeaks, the bowstrings of the three four-stone bows were pulled apart at the same time, and the long, thick strides were firmly attached to the eight-ox crossbow.

After a few moments, all the eight-bull crossbows were wound, and they kept adjusting their directions, and finally aimed at the part of the city about a foot or so at the head of the city.

"Launch!"

Captain Zhao Guo roared again, and then dozens of Zhao Guo Zhao Guolishi, who were standing next to the Eight Bull Crossbow, raised the mallet in their hands and smashed it heavily towards the launching machine.

"Buzz!" Dozens of dense crossbow machine firing sounds converged into a huge volume, dozens of arrows longer than a person, like the thickness of an arm, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, launched deep into the city walls of Suiyang City, the tail end was still trembling rapidly.

Captain Zhao Guo almost did not hesitate, and once again issued an order: "Continue to go online, high elevation, second class!" ”

The well-trained wrestlers also did not stop again to start the intense winding work, and the front of the crossbow machine was slowly raised, as if the barrels of each cannon were constantly rising, ready to let out their own roar.

The next moment, there was another volley, and the stung arrows were once again densely nailed to the top of the city, and this time the height was obviously a little higher than the last time, just enough to climb.

"Keep firing!"

After five rounds of firing, hundreds of stepping arrows had already stopped densely on the head of Suiyang City.

And by this time, all the eight-bull crossbows had already been drained of "ammunition", and even several were damaged due to overload.

"Mission accomplished, retreat!"

The Eight Ox Crossbow troops began to slowly retreat, their mission was over.

After this scene, Lecheng from afar finally breathed a long sigh of relief and gave an order with a solemn expression.

"Pass the order, beat the drums, the whole army will attack, and launch a general attack!"

In the majestic and passionate drums, countless Zhao soldiers rushed to the foot of Suiyang City, like an extremely agile ape, climbed to the top of the treadmill arrows, and then climbed up along these pedal arrows, and after only a moment, they successfully broke through the Wei army's defense line that the tall ladders could not break through before, and climbed to the head of Suiyang City.

This is the first time in a month that a soldier of the Zhao Army has been able to climb the head of Suiyang City.

Although the first Zhao soldier who climbed the head of Suiyang City was hacked to death by the Wei people who surrounded him in a short time, although the Wei soldiers were still resisting with great effort at this moment, but with the support of the treadmill arrows, the Zhao soldiers also continued to climb the city, and there was no sign of being beaten down at all.

At this time, the war finally entered the most intense, cruel, and bloody stage of white-knuckle warfare.

You must know that now the Zhao army under the command of Le Cheng is the main force of Zhao that has been invincible all over the world over the years, and it is far stronger than the Wei people in terms of the degree of cooperation between each other and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers.

Therefore, once the two sides entered the situation of white-knuckle warfare, the strength of the Zhao soldiers slowly revealed over time.

After a quarter of an hour, the Zhao soldiers finally gained a foothold in one of the city's head, and began to attack the rest of the city.

After another quarter of an hour, a large part of Suiyang City had fallen into the hands of the soldiers of the Zhao army.

It wasn't until several ladders were firmly erected on the top of the city that a steady stream of Zhao soldiers once again accelerated the speed of rushing to the city, and the Wei army finally couldn't support it and began to retreat from the top of the city.

Lecheng watched this scene quietly, and finally a smile appeared on his face for the first time.

At this time, everyone's hearts were very clear that Suiyang City, which had resisted the main force of 100,000 Zhao States for a month, was finally broken on this day!

Victory belongs to Zhao Guo!
