The sound of the waves was roaring, and around Shuitou City, the shouts of killing and screaming continued.

The rain of arrows is almost obscuring the sky.

A large number of Liao soldiers with shields rushed across the land around Shuitou City, some of them carrying ladders, and arrows, stone bullets, and crossbow arrows fell on their shields, on their bodies, and on the ground around them.

In order to avoid the terrifying stone bullets and arrow rain covering the city, the Liao army was always separated by a considerable distance between the soldiers in the charge all over the mountains.

The ladder was erected, the crowd swarmed up, and the Song soldiers on Shuitou City splashed out with boiling water, or stabbed out of the city like a forest of guns, stabbing all the Liao soldiers who tried to climb in to death on the wall.

Behind the Liao army who was responsible for climbing the city wall, the Liao army archers who were covering them rushed out on war horses, trying to throw at the head of the city to cover their companions who climbed the city head, but each time they did not wait to get closer, they were destroyed and stopped by the accurate stone throwers at the head of the city, leaving some corpses and a scream.

It's just that the Liao people's riding and archery skills are really exquisite, and under the risk of death and projectile, the Song soldiers who couldn't dodge at the head of the city also hid behind the wall with their wounds, and even rolled on the ground screaming, and at this time, the elite of the Liao army who climbed the ladder took the opportunity to attack and press up.

The wounded were still rolling on the ground, but the other Song soldiers behind the walls rushed out from behind their bunkers and engaged the elite of the Liao army who tried to storm in.

At this time, there is not yet a big gap near the city wall, but the pressure is gradually emerging. Especially after the Liao army risked death at the expense of arrows, the defenders in the city were suppressed.

However, Zhang Bin, Zhi Kerou and others knew very well that the Liao people's wanton use of bows and arrows would not last long, and they would have to stop this consumptive style of play due to the lack of arrows.

And every day they will have twenty more newly built stone throwers on the head of the city, and the long-range precision strike capability has been continuously enhanced, and the daily death and injury rate of the Liao people has been increasing.

Zhang Bin has been suppressing the impulse in his heart, and the other killer tools he prepared have not been used.

……

……

For the ordinary soldiers on both the offensive and defensive sides, it was like a year, and three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Within three days, whether it was the defenders or the Liao army, the sleeping time added up to less than five hours.

In three days, the Liao army lost more than 4,000 people, but the Song army defending the city also lost more than 500 people.

As Zhang Bin, Zhe Kerou and others speculated, although there is a bonus of the precision stone thrower, the gap between the two sides in battle damage is still narrowing, from ten to one at the beginning, to eight to one today.

Outside the city wall hundreds of zhang long, the daily offensive of the Liao army was like a sea tide, and the Song army, which had no way to retreat behind the city, was like a crazy ant colony, killing the Liao people again and again.

Three days later, the tactics of the Liao army changed again, no longer attacking from all sides at the same time, but concentrating on the entire southern city wall to launch a fierce attack, showing the will to fight and the degree of madness that was enough to make the Song soldiers on each section of the city wall feel terrified.

Jerod wanted to test the weak points on the city wall with a furious attack, or more accurately, to actively create weak points, trying to break the entire defense of the city wall with the strong will of their warriors to fight.

In the fierce attack, the cavalry of the Liao army was constantly crushed to death by the stone bullets thrown by the stone thrower, but they still risked death to gallop under the city, and suppressed the city wall with high-density arrows.

There is no way, this is the only effective suppression that the Liao army can carry out on the head of the city, and the accuracy of their stone throwers is too poor.

And in this process, once a certain section of the city wall on the defense is a little tired, the Liao army besieging the city will frantically rush to this side, once the Liao soldiers rush to the city, the tear will immediately bring relatively large casualties on both sides, in the Liao people concentrated on the south city wall after this short half a day, such a record, the Liao people have done it four times.

Especially when it was almost noon, more than 300 Liao soldiers successfully climbed the wall, but they did not last long before they all died at the head of the city.

This short battle for the head of the city was extremely tragic, if it weren't for Zhang Bin's decisiveness to let Zhi Kerou lead his 100 elite soldiers at the level of the king of soldiers to support, and quickly kill all the Liao troops who climbed to the top of the city, this battle might have lasted for a long time, and even the Liao people might have taken the opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

Although the accuracy of the Liao army stone throwing machine is poor, but there are a large number of people to build, these days has accumulated nearly two hundred, to a certain extent to make up for the problem of poor accuracy, sometimes stone bullets and thrown arrows will also cross the city wall, smashed into the city wall is forced to transport the city defense equipment in the Liao people.

These people in Shuitou City had no other way than to subconsciously dodge on the spot or find a wooden plank to top, and they didn't dare to evacuate, because if someone dared to escape, they would be killed immediately by a team of Song troops led by Su Guo, otherwise these Liao people would have been scattered as birds and beasts.

Fortunately, there are not many stone bullets that the Liao people can throw into the city, because every time they are thrown into the city, they have ventured into the effective range of the Song army's stone thrower, and they can't throw a few stone bullets before they are smashed by the stone bullets thrown from the city, and by the way, more than a dozen Liao people who operate the stone throwing machine are wounded.

Since the Liao army changed its tactics and concentrated on attacking one side of the city wall, the Song army's defensive strings have always been tight, rushing and dizzying to deal with everything, and the city defense seems to be about to collapse at any time.

But............ But it never collapsed.

Stone throwers, feather arrows, bed crossbows never stopped, rolling wood and stones were rained down from the city walls by the Song army, oil and hot water were mixed in them, and the walls that stretched out were covered with yaksha rings inlaid with sharp knives or barbs, and soldiers wielding long forks were occasionally shot by stray arrows and fell in pools of blood.

Wounded people from the city were constantly being carried down and sent to the wounded barracks for treatment.

The weather was too cold, and some of the wounded soldiers quickly contracted the wind chill due to the decline in their physical resistance. The infirm are dying anytime and anywhere, and the more than ten doctors specially brought by Han Saburo into the caravan in Shuitou City and several doctors from the Zhejia Army itself are exhausted to the extreme, and they are even more embarrassed, with other people's blood on their foreheads and faces, desperately and numbly treating every wounded soldier.

Seeing that the attack and defense of the city head were becoming more and more miserable, and the Liao army was attacking the city head more and more often, the interval between the times and the number of people was getting shorter and shorter, and after Zhe Kerou asked for instructions for the third time, Zhang Bin finally ordered to start using the gunpowder bags that had been made these days.

Two gunpowder bags weighing 40 pounds were accurately thrown into the densest Liao soldiers by the stone thrower, killing and injuring three or four hundred people on the spot, the most important thing was to make all the war horses outside the Liao city that were charging and throwing frightened, and under the indiscriminate collision, the Liao army was trampled to death and injured more than 300 people.
