More than 100 ladders, instantly knocked down seventy or eighty, there are twenty or thirty ladders, were held up by the soldiers under the ladder, did not push away from the city wall for the time being, the top of the vanguard soldiers hurriedly climbed up two steps, more than 100 brave soldiers simply jumped directly, jumped on the battlements, threw away the wooden shield in their hands, picked up the big knife, and was about to cut down the Jin army below.

Seven or eight branches, more than ten spears, concentrated on these Qin army standing on the battlements of the leading warriors of the Qin army, after all, they are not dead soldiers wearing heavy armor, those leather armor anti-arrows are acceptable, but they can't stop such a stab, most of the people, before they have time to cut down the knife, they stabbed their bodies full of blood holes, screaming and falling down the city, and there are still more than 20 people jumping off the battlements, brandishing big knives, frantically slashing and killing the nearby Jin army, above the city, into a melee.

Liang Cheng's brows were deeply locked, at this time, the archers were shooting against the archers of the Jin army behind the city wall, not directly supporting the city head, watching the enemy troops at the city head keep pouring up, and the number gradually increased, and the ladder on this side is difficult to fix at the city head, often just leaning up, not climbing a few feet, to those steel forks that are specially designed to prevent cloud ladders to knock down.

After some of the brave men of the Qin army landed, they patted their butts and climbed again, so four or five times, they didn't touch the edge of the city wall, and the dozens of people who finally rushed to the head of the city, more than 100 people, because the number was too small to last long in the city, they were hacked to death with knives and stabbed to death with guns, and the corpses also became the weapons of the soldiers defending the city.

Liang Yun gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Why are these dogs fighting more and more, grandma's, didn't you kill a lot of stones in front of you." ”

Liang Fei shook his head and said: "After all, there are thousands of people in the city, plus the militia is strong, close to 10,000 people, but I am afraid that Liu Jinu will also see that Beicheng is nervous now, and he will start to send troops to support." Big brother, are we going to add more people to attack the city? ”

Liang Cheng pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, it seems that these five or six thousand infantry alone will not be able to capture the northern city, as long as more than a thousand people defend at the head of the city, we will not be able to break through, give an order, and then transfer another five thousand heavy infantry to step forward, and the lightly armored soldiers will retreat as an auxiliary and let the heavy soldiers go to the city!" ”

Inside the wall, Xu Yuanlang coldly watched the enemy formation in the distance change, their current position is exactly in the middle of the city gate, a few words block this half-drawn small brick, the appearance is no different from usual, and even a few steps away, a cloud ladder is just here to attack the city.

And at the city gate directly below, hundreds of Qin infantry were drawing their knives and slashing at the wooden gate, but it was the entire door hole behind the city gate that was blocked with sandbags, there was no way, Xu Yuanlang smiled slightly, pointed to the more than 5,000 Qin infantry wearing iron armor who were slowly marching towards the city wall, and said: "Yanzhi, it looks like the enemy is about to send out heavy soldiers." ”

Zhi Yanzhi nodded and said: "Yes, they climb the city like this, it is difficult to succeed by relying on light infantry, the equipment is not good, and they can't stand at the head of the city, so now they have dispatched heavy infantry, and we can't use the militia to deal with it anymore, otherwise it will be troublesome if the city head is lost, and we need to transfer another 1,500 Shouchun elite to the city." ”

Xu Yuanlang's brows furrowed slightly: "Do you want to use a catapult to smash it now?" ”

Zhi Yanzhi shook his head: "It's not the time yet, 5,000 people will press up again, and there will be no more than 10,000 thieves in the city, not 20,000 people, so it's better not to expose this catapult." ”

Xu Yuanlang nodded and said with a smile: "Listen to you." ”

Liu Yu sat on the platform, and the sound of uniform military boots stomping on the ground in his ears, as well as the sound of the armor leaves crashing, said slowly: "It seems that the thieves have dispatched hoplites." ”

Zhu Lingshi's eyes widened: "Qin thieves also have hoplites?" ”

Liu Yu nodded: "As long as there is equipment, there can be hoplites, cavalry dismount and fight, the same can be armored, Murong Nan said, among the thief army, Fu Rong's headquarters, as well as Liang Cheng's troops, there are 10,000 or 20,000 such hoplites, which can be used as the backbone in wartime, and can destroy the city during the siege, it is the elite force of the thieves, and now it can be dispatched to attack the city, which shows that Liang Cheng feels that there is hope of capturing the northern city." ”

Zhu Lingshi nodded: "Dashuai, it seems that we are fighting well, forcing the thieves to use elite troops, but how many thieves do you think they can withstand it?" Do you want to send troops from the city to support you? ”

Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "What's the panic, Xu Yuanlang and Zhi Yanzhi are useless even catapults, their strength is more than enough to deal with these thousands of heavy infantry, look at it, I also want to see what kind of tactics Murong Nan, a ghost talent, can play." ”

With the sound of dull drums and horns, the light infantry of the Qin army under the city wall began to rub the sore places all over their bodies, supported each other, and began to retreat from under the city wall with a scolding, and the Jin army at the head of the city cheered piece by piece, throwing the corpse of the Qin army directly from the city wall, and threw it all over the ground, and the root of the city wall more than two miles wide was almost piled up with corpses half a foot high, and more than 100 cloud ladders, staggering from side to side, falling everywhere, 5,000 archers were still constantly firing arrows at the city head, But for the defenders of the head of the city, with planks and shields, it was almost useless.

Another dull sound of drums sounded, and the archers stopped firing and began to separate on both sides, and a huge iron block, with a firm and powerful step, with shields like mountains and lances like forests, walked towards the city walls.

Bursts of arrows flew out of the city, lacking the hanging and suppression of the archers outside the city, the archers in the city began to shoot at the maximum speed, and the black cloud-like arrow rain cleaned the advancing Tiefang formation, but it almost did no damage to the Qin heavy armored infantry in the phalanx.

These tall and burly, brave and strong Qin army warriors, with a few to a dozen arrows inserted in their bodies, shouted trumpets, and walked slowly towards the city wall, their eyes flashed with murderous energy, with an unstoppable momentum, it seemed that they were almost going to trample the entire city wall alive.

There was a drum beating at the head of the city, and the militiamen who were still shouting and scolding just now leaned over and began to find stones on the ground, those stones the size of watermelons were all over the ground, which were the missiles left over from the first wave of flying stone attacks, but now they became ready-made weapons for the defenders of the city, and the militiamen shouted slogans and threw these stones with the greatest force and threw them into the iron party formation under the city.
