When the situation is extremely urgent!

Suddenly, a team of eight hundred people was killed from behind Tian Sheng's 1,000 dead soldiers!

Listening to the shouts, it seems that they have come to support the defenders of the city gate.

Most of the reinforcements were crossbowmen, who first fired accurately at Tian Sheng's 1,000 dead soldiers, and did not dare to shoot in a large area, because the two sides were fighting together, for fear of accidentally injuring their own people.

Moreover, these crossbowmen are very skilled, and the hit rate is also quite high!

Tian Sheng's 1,000 dead soldiers were shot by arrows and crossbows, and they continued to fall one by one.

After nearly a quarter of an hour of shooting, the crossbowmen had shot and killed more than 300 of Tian Sheng's dead soldiers, and at the same time, Tian Sheng's dead soldiers had killed nearly 100 of them.

Now, the total number of casualties in the entire Tian Sheng has reached 600, and only 400 remain.

However, the 800 defenders of the city gate, plus the 400 men who were transferred down from the city wall to support, only 600 remained.

But with the addition of the 800 people who came to support at the end, it is now 1,400 people, and 400 people died in the front and rear of Tian Sheng.

These dead soldiers suffered from the enemy on their backs, and in a short time, nearly 200 people died.

The generals of the defenders on the city walls were overjoyed when they saw the situation! Immediately transfer the 400 men who had just been sent back to the city to defend.

After the reinforcements fired again, they stopped, and then everyone rushed towards the Tian Sheng dead soldiers, who were less than two hundred.

Soon, all the remaining Tian Sheng dead soldiers were annihilated.

At this time, the reinforcement general went to the city and said to the general defending the city: "I waited for the order of Gongzi Tian Wu to come to support, and now the hidden danger at the south gate has been removed, I will leave 400 people to assist in the defense, and the rest will go to the north gate to help." Please send someone to inform Prince Xi as soon as possible, strengthen the defense of the city gate on both sides, and fear that other dead soldiers in the city will attack the city gate again. ”

"Good!" The general defending the city replied, thinking: If it weren't for these hundreds of people arriving, the city gate would have been broken!

Tian Sheng's army outside the city, unaware that all the warriors inside had been killed, and they were still in full swing to attack the city.

The battle is quite intense! Countless soldiers died on both sides.

Tian Sheng didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and was still thinking about combining the inside and the outside, and quickly took the city.

......

However, the defenders on the city wall suddenly shouted: "You dead soldiers who are ambushed in the city have already been killed by us, don't make any more senseless sacrifices, you people can't capture Linzi City." ”

Tian Sheng was shocked when he heard this! But I don't believe it, and there was a fire in the city last night, which shows that the lurking people are not controlled, and it is impossible to be wiped out in one morning.

But the city could not be attacked for a long time, coupled with the shouting of the defenders of the city wall, the confidence of Tian Sheng's soldiers in attacking the city did not seem to be so firm.

In fact, this is what the defenders want, as long as the confidence of the soldiers of the siege army is shaken, the momentum of the siege will be weakened, and the pressure on the defenders in the city will be greatly reduced.

......

It was fought until noon, and no dead soldiers in the city were seen breaking down.

Tian Sheng believed the defenders' shouts a little, because the agreement was to set fire to the first night and break the gate early the next morning, but now it was noon, and the city gate had not yet been broken, and most of the 1,000 warriors had been destroyed.

Tian Sheng ordered the army to stop the siege and prepare to rest for a while before launching the next round of attacks.

However, after counting the number of soldiers, it was found that more than 30,000 soldiers had been killed or wounded.

Seeing that the other side had stopped attacking the city, the defenders in the city seized the time to rearrange the defenses, and at the same time counted the number of soldiers, and found that the soldiers had suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.

The casualty ratio is a bit high, defending the city, and the city is high and deep, and the casualties are so heavy!

Tian Sheng is now very hesitant, the number of soldiers is less than 120,000, if he attacks the city again on all sides for half a day, he will lose at least 15,000 troops, the total number of troops is only 100,000, and the defenders in the city still have 40,000. After a long time, after the rest of the Qi country gets the news, they will definitely rush to support, and it is not easy to attack the city!

Whether to continue to attack Linzi City or turn to attack other cities, Tian Sheng could not decide for a while.

But Tian Sheng still didn't want to give up, and in order to reduce casualties, he decided not to launch a fierce attack on all sides of the city. Instead, they attacked the south gate with all their might, and the other three sides only made feints to contain the defenders.

After resting for an hour, Tian Sheng mobilized heavy troops and siege weapons and began to attack the south gate with all his might.

Last night, the siege did not use arrows and crossbows and catapults, and it was also to take advantage of the chaos caused by the fire in the city to kill it in one fell swoop, so it was a close attack on the city.

This morning, in order to cooperate with the warriors in ambush in the city, and put the greatest pressure on the defenders, they also took a close attack on the city.

The advantage of a melee attack is that once the gates are breached, soldiers can quickly get in so as not to miss out on the best fighters.

Now the situation is different, and it can only be attacked by external forces.

For the first attack, use a bow and crossbow.

Tens of thousands of people took turns to shoot at the city wall, which belonged to the real sense of ten thousand arrows.

The defenders on the walls took out their shields for defense, and at the same time returned fire, also using bows and crossbows. Of course, the opponent also has a shield defense.

Tian Sheng's number and range of bows and crossbows were superior, and the geographical location of the defenders was superior, which was condescending.

King Qi also did not expect that there would be a large army to raid Linzi, and the weapons and equipment were all in the defense of the main transportation routes, and the defense preparations of Linzi City were not very sufficient.

The two sides fired at each other for nearly an hour, and the man died and replaced the man until the arrow was finished.

However, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Second round of attack, catapults.

Tian Sheng concentrated his strength and slammed the south city gate.

The walls and gates were smashed with a "knock, knock, knock...", and the soldiers on the city wall felt the trembling of the city wall.

Linzi is an old city of hundreds of years, and it is the capital of Qi State, the city wall is thick and tall, and the city gate is also extremely strong, otherwise it really can't help but hit a few rounds.

The third round of attacks, rushing cars and ladders.

The rushing car, also known as the "Linchong", is used to destroy the city walls and gates with the force of the impact, and is often used near the end of the battle.

The ladder is generally believed to be the Spring and Autumn Period, the skilled craftsman of the Lu State (Lu Ban) invented, in order to achieve the purpose of dominance, the King of Chu Hui ordered the Gong Plate to manufacture the first ladder in history.

The car rushed to the city gate with all his might, the ladders were densely put on the city wall, and the soldiers rushed to the city wall bravely!

Now that the bows and arrows had run out, the defenders were carrying stones and rolling logs to smash them down. Especially above the city gate, the stones are very dense, mainly destroying the opponent's rushing car, so as not to break through the city gate.

In this way, the casualties of Tian Sheng's army were particularly large, but there were many of them, and a group of them died and another group came up.

It didn't take long for the walls to be densely packed with people and corpses.

Some of the soldiers who were about to climb the city wall were killed by the defenders above, and some were forked down by the defenders with people and ladders.

The defenders on the wall smashed down with clay pots, which were filled with oil, and when they broke, the oil splashed on the opposing soldiers and on the ground.

Almost as soon as the smash was made, the defending soldiers lit fire oil arrows and fired them under the walls.

The defenders also deliberately let the opponent attack for a while, and when there are many people, it is not easy to retreat for a while, so they use this trick, which can cause a large number of casualties among the opponent's soldiers.

Now, the entire area under the southern city wall, which is more than ten meters wide, has become a sea of fire.
