In the end, many hoplites with arrows on their bodies were knocked down by stones, even if they were wearing iron armor and bronze helmets, and they could prevent the rain of arrows in the sky, but they could not prevent the flying stones at the head of the city.

The sergeants in the Iron Party formation began to raise their shields, forming an impermeable protective wall overhead, and the stones smashed up, making a "whoop" sound, and occasionally a few unlucky guys were knocked down by people with shields, but on the whole, there would be no loosening and change in the formation.

There was a horn sound in the iron block, and the squares that were originally grouped together suddenly dispersed, and hundreds of hoplites armed with strong crossbows raised their heads and pulled the trigger in their hands towards the city, and pulled them a few times, and in an instant, hundreds of crossbow arrows roared across the sky and flew up to the city.

More than 50 militiamen who had just leaned out of the city were shot in the face and neck by this wave of crossbow arrows, and many of them died directly at the battlements of the city wall, and the stones they were carrying in their hands fell down weakly, hitting their own heads, just like smashing open a watermelon, and the red and white liquid erupted, filling with a bloody smell.

The militia at the head of the city was thrown into a burst of chaos by this sudden wave of blows, Liang Cheng saw it clearly, and said sharply: "Quick, order, the archers are rushing to the head of the city, right now, twenty rounds of rapid fire!" ”

The archers of the Qin army, after the ironclad hoplite phalanx walked through, returned to the place of fifty or sixty steps away from the city wall, there was no other infantry around at this time, they lined up into a standard three-line bow and arrow formation, after hearing the order from the rear, all the archers drew their bows and arrows as fast as they could, quickly released arrows at the city, and then picked up the next arrow again, and then pulled and released again.

The screams of the head of the city came and went, this time it was not those straw men in armor who were hit by arrows, but living people who were hit by arrows, these militiamen in leather armor and even cloth clothes, completely unable to resist the continuous mixed blows of crossbows and infantry bows, they fell in the rain of arrows, who could not care about throwing stones at the city again, the living people quickly picked up the shields around them, put them on their heads, and at the same time squatted down, clinging to the battlements, in order to avoid the attacks of these bows and arrows.

There was another rush of footsteps, from the corridor on both sides, urgently ran up more than a thousand Shouchun infantry in iron armor, in their hands, all holding iron rods, maces and other hammer stick weapons, almost no swords and long lances, dense arrow rain on their bodies, leaving a lot of arrows on their shoulders and chests, but they rarely can break the armor straight in, these ironclad warriors, don't even need to pull out these arrows, directly pull out the waist knife around them, and cut off the arrows from it, Only a small stub remains.

The iron party array under the city also began to act, dozens of steps of special, widened and reinforced ladders re-established to the head of the city, these ladders are different from the simple ladders climbed by the previous light infantry, the ladder heads are with a grappling hook, when the battlements are hooked, by the way, it is difficult to push it off the city wall at once, and the Qin army hoplites under the city are holding shields, biting big knives, shouting trumpets, and crawling towards the city head in an orderly manner.

Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said sharply: "Jintang, give it to me!" ”

The words of the chief general were orders, and a foul smell came, and several large cauldrons of hot, boiled dung juice, that is, boiling oil of golden soup, were carried up to the head of the city, just as the Qin army hoplites under the city climbed halfway, and these soldiers carrying the golden soup protected the dense shields, and when they climbed up to the top of the city, the shields were already covered with arrows, but they themselves were unharmed. With the sound of the order, these sergeants directly threw the entire big iron pot, together with dozens of catties of hot gold soup in the pot, directly down the city, and poured it on the iron party formation with a radius of 100 steps under the city.

More than a dozen pots of golden soup were poured down at the same time, and there were finally bursts of creepy screams under the city, no matter how strong the protection was, no matter how hard the armor was, it was impossible to prevent this kind of boiling oil attack, two or three hundred ironclad infantry poured these golden soup all over their heads, and the hands, faces, necks, etc., which the iron armor could not protect, suddenly festered, and some people even burst out of their eyes, and rolled around on the ground, screaming miserably, and even brought down a lot of their companions around them. The originally neat and orderly Tiefang formation also appeared a little chaotic.

At the same time, many of the Qin hoplites who climbed the city also arrived at the head of the city, they threw away the shields in their hands, picked up the big knives in their mouths, and jumped directly from the ladder, wanting to kill all the enemies they encountered with the knife wheel dance, but what caught their eyes was the Jin army heavy infantry who were also wearing heavy armor, wearing evil ghost masks, holding iron rods, copper hammers and maces.

Although the two-handed broadsword can easily split the leather armor and chain mail of ordinary soldiers, it has no advantage in front of the heavy iron rod and copper hammer, on the contrary, after these blunt weapons hit the iron armor of the hoplite, it can break the bones inside and injure the internal organs while knocking the iron armor out of a pit.

In addition, the Qin army hoplites who jumped into the city were only more than 100 people, and the city head was more than 1,000 Jin army Shouchun heavy armored ironclad infantry, which was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.

These people with armor feet have more than 200 pounds of human body, at this time it has become a more useful thing than stones, thrown into the iron party array under the city, smashed a piece, a foot more than five feet high city wall, although not unattainable, but from this height fell more than 200 pounds of things, can still smash people, plus these heavy infantry is outstanding protection, but inflexible, sometimes obviously see something falling overhead, but it is too late to dodge, several people are to such a big piece of iron-clad meat hit, fall together, Many of them were crushed to death.

The ironclad warriors fought fiercely at the head of the city, and the lightly armed militia who had relieved their breath were not suspicious, and at this time, the bow and arrow shooting of the Qin army also became stagnant as the hoplites of their own side rushed to the city, which made the militiamen who were hiding on the edge of the city wall just now, as if sheltering from the rain, raised their heads one after another, they picked up the nearest stone, and did not lean out, and threw it directly to the city.
