Early the next morning, the cadres continued to attack the city.

After yesterday's siege, both the attackers and defenders were less panicked and more calm.

Therefore, people are very adaptable in many cases.

Under the orders and supervision of the generals, the assistant army of the cadres and colonels flocked to the city wall like a tide, and the ladders were erected on the city wall, and the soldiers of the assistant army climbed the city wall like ants, and the arrows on the city wall kept shooting, and the soldiers of the assistant army fell from the ladder one after another, and the people below went forward one after another, one after another.

Boiling water, boiling oil, stones, the defenders of the city kept throwing these lethal weapons on the heads of the besieging co-operatives.

Some of the co-operatives were blistered with boiling water, some were shot by arrows and fell to their deaths, and some were crippled by stones.

There were also some defenders who were stabbed to death by the co-servant soldiers on the ladder, or hacked to death after being pulled off the city wall and stabbed to death.

The brave soldiers of the Assistants resisted all the attacks overhead with their shields on their heads, climbed to the top of the city in one breath, and jumped onto the city walls to engage in a fierce battle with the defenders.

Countless shouts of killing, screams, and loud roars were intertwined, and under the shadow of swords and swords, countless blood splatters stained the outer wall of the city wall, corpses and stumps and broken arms were everywhere, and there were corpses lying on the wall battlements, and the corpses were inserted with arrows or knives and guns, and the blood soaked the ground of the city wall, and the flags on the flagpole planted at the head of the city had already been shot by arrows, stained red with blood, and some soldiers died with wide eyes and never looked away.

On the second day of the siege, the battle was fierce on this day, both the attackers and the defenders were killed, and the generals who were originally in the same camp were eager to cut each other into meat sauce like enemies.

At the beginning, as the besieging side of the co-subordinate army suffered heavy casualties, the defenders after yesterday's battle, many recruits began to adapt to the battle of defending the city, the veterans defended more skillful tactical movements, and the previous cooperation of the companions was also more tacit, which caused great casualties to the besieging side of the cadre army co-enslaved army.

As a last resort, in the afternoon battle, Su Ji ordered the siege battalion to dispatch Jinglan and a large number of dry archers again.

The garrison commander Chen Xian originally ordered each defender to be given a wooden plank that could cover the entire back, but he did not expect that the cadres did not use the well fence and archers in the morning battle, and the planks prepared by the defenders were not used, and they were all discarded aside.

In the afternoon, the cadres dispatched the well fence and the archers under the heavy casualties, and before the defenders had time to prepare to tie the planks, the well fence of the cadre army was already close to the city wall, and a large number of arrows were fired, and the defenders and generals were among them, and the number of casualties rose sharply, especially the archers and crossbowmen suffered the greatest losses, and they were the main targets of the dry archers.

"General, I can't stand it, the bows and arrows of the cadre army are too powerful, and our army's archers and crossbowmen are almost lost, so if you go on like this, you can only be suppressed, and you have no power to fight back!" Xiang Jian stabbed to death a soldier of the Auxiliary Army who had just climbed the city wall with a spear, and shouted loudly to Chen Xian, who was directing the battle nearby.

Chen Xian had a straight face, turned his head to look left and right, and saw that there were already many co-followers and archers on the city wall under the cover of archers, and he immediately ordered: "Order the first reserve to go up to the city wall to support, let the first-line soldiers retreat with shields, and put the enemy army on the city wall to fight again!" ”

"Good!" Xiang General immediately agreed, and sent someone to deliver the order.

Put the co-subordinate army who is climbing the ladder on the city wall and have a melee with it, so that the archers of the dry army can throw a mouse bogey, and can no longer shoot arrows, but it is very dangerous to do so, if you can't solve all the enemy troops put up at the first time, then the enemy army behind will continue to climb up, and once the city wall is lost, the city will be broken.

It is also Chen Xian who is bold, and other generals do not dare to adopt this tactic at all, in fact, Chen Xian has no way to do it, who let the enemy have such a siege weapon as a well fence?

Chen Xian issued another order, and he sent people to prepare the stone cart to collect the stone bullets and fragments smashed by the cadre army's catapult yesterday as projectiles.

When the defenders put many of the co-consignees on the city wall, the defenders' reserves also arrived, and the reserves and the original defenders fought together with the co-contenders under Chen Xian's order and leadership.

Chen Xian grasped the timing very accurately, the number of co-followers put up was not large, but it was enough to make the archers of the cadre army on the well fence outside the city fearful, if the arrows were released again, there would definitely be a great possibility of shooting friendly troops, so they did not stop releasing arrows.

A fierce battle ensued at the top of the city, and the archers of the dry army were helpless.

At this moment, a defender soldier ran to Chen Xian's side with a shield and shouted: "General, all the stone carts are ready and ready to be launched at any time!" ”

Chen Xian was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Okay, pass the order, wait for the general's order after a cup of tea, if the flag in my hand is under my command, it will be launched immediately!" ”

"No!"

The scuffle on the walls continued, but the defenders had the upper hand with a large and organized counterattack, and the Castle Commanders tried to climb but were unable to continue because their allies blocked their positions.

After a cup of tea, Chen Xian took a flag and waved it down vigorously, and the hidden stone carts on each enemy tower were uncovered and revealed their true colors.

"Launch—" with a terrible roar.

The launchers of each stone truck hammered down the transmitter with a heavy hammer, "Hoohoo ······" Stone bullets and rubble were fired by the stone cart.

The archers of the cadre army who were watching the battle on the well railing suddenly felt a black shadow appear above their heads, and when they looked up, they were suddenly terrified.

"It's not good, it's a stone cart, retreat, retreat!" The archers in charge of the command on the well railing shouted.

But it was too late, and a large number of stone projectiles, stones, and rubble were fired from the enemy towers on the city walls, and the archers on the nearly ten well railings were wiped out.

"Boom, boom, boom······" The stone bullets, stones, and gravel fired by the stone truck smashed on the well railing, and the archers of the cadre army were either killed on the spot, or smashed off the well railing, or smashed by the rubble to the point of bleeding, and screamed and wailed one after another.

"Retreat, Retreat······"

As the archers of the cadre army kept yelling, the soldiers below finally pushed the well fence backwards, away from the launch distance of the launch vehicle.

The catapult and the trebuchet are two different weapons, they can both defend the city, but the trebuchet can only fire one stone projectile at a time, and the firing distance is far, while the catapult can fire a large number of small stones and gravel at a time, the firing distance is closer, but the killing range is larger, and the large amount of gravel it fires can attack a wide range, smash a large area, and launch it once is like a rain of stones.

After the cadres withdrew from the launch range of the defenders' stone trucks, the co-consignees who climbed the city wall were almost completely solved by the defenders, and some of the remaining co-contenders saw that the situation was unfavorable and retreated one after another, some people slid down the ladder, some did not want to be killed, turned around and jumped under the city wall, whether they could survive or not was all up to the will of heaven.

Su Ji, who was commanding in the military formation, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order the third siege echelon to prepare to take over the second siege echelon for the siege!" ”

"Wait!"

Zhao Junsheng stopped Su Ji, "Withdraw the second siege echelon, and order the siege camp speculators to prepare to fire stone projectiles, especially at the enemy towers on the city wall, and destroy them as quickly as possible before they can transfer the stone carts!" ”

Su Ji clenched his fists and said, "Obey!" ”

The order was conveyed, a sound of gold sounded, and the co-followers who were besieging the city retreated like a tide, and the soldiers of the cloud echelon of the siege camp ran back with the ladder on their shoulders.

In the process of withdrawing from the army, the trebuchets of the cadres became angry, and one after another the trebuchets were fired almost simultaneously, and one after another stone bombs were thrown out, rubbing the air in the air and making a terrifying sound.

"Bumper Bumper ······" Stone bullets were fired on the enemy towers, and some smashed into the roof of the building to create a large hole, and the defenders who were operating the stone carts inside let out a scream.

Some stone projectiles smashed on the outer walls, causing the walls to shake and the walls to be smashed into potholes.

After a few rounds of trebuchets were fired, Su Ji saw that the effect was not great, and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, the enemy tower is built with the same material as the city wall, and it is not easy to smash it easily, and it is not so accurate to hit the roof of the building. ”

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a moment and asked, "How many oil bombs are there?" ”

"There are three hundred!"

"So little?" Zhao Junsheng was surprised.

"Your Majesty, the lethality and scope of this thing are too large, the formula is in the hands of the Ordnance Supervisor, no one can make it privately, it can only be transferred from the Ordnance Supervisor, and these three hundred pieces are still transported from Chang'an!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Okay, let them hit the spot, launch three rounds first and see the effect!" ”

"Understood!"

Su Ji immediately ordered the use of fire oil bombs.

In less than a cup of tea, fire oil bombs were fired from the trebuchet position, and these fire oil bombs streaked across the sky, dragging out long lines of smoke.

"Oh my God, what's that?" A soldier on the city wall saw large fireballs shooting in the distance, as if the end was coming.

"Run, run—" I don't know who let out a terrible roar, and almost in the next second, the defenders on the city wall were in a mess, and everyone scrambled to run in the direction of the stairs.

"Boom, boom, boom······" One by one, the oil bombs fell, some fell outside the city, some fell inside the city, and a few fell on the city wall, two enemy towers were hit, the fire was scattered and splashed, and the fire burned in an instant, and the scorching flames made the surrounding temperature instantly higher.

The defenders, who had no time to escape, were instantly burned after being stained with fire oil, and the screams were terrifying.
