After all, the horn of the Dongyue King's siege was still sounded, no matter how unhappy the Bao Guan on the wall of Panyu City was, and how worried the younger generations who grew up under his protection, this could not prevent the Minyue army from being about to attach to this city filled with the breath of death like ants.

Twenty miles away from the city gates of Panyu City, 50,000 or 60,000 Minyue troops are arranged into dozens of neat phalanxes, and the banners flutter in the wind in front of the formation, and from a distance, it can be seen that its military appearance is strictly orderly. These phalanxes are like regular squares of iron pierced into the ground, and everyone who sees them can feel its coercion.

The horn whimpered several times, the herald waved the order flag, and with the shouting orders of the captains of their respective phalanxes, the phalanxes that were originally immobile and loose were like machines, slowly starting, the speed gradually accelerated, and the shouts one after another were chaotic. More neat and more shocking than the shout is the footsteps, as the military boots fall, the ground seems to be trembling, the siege does not use cavalry, and the footsteps of the infantry can be more uniform, adding a few ** and killing atmosphere.

The Minyue army, which was originally lined up in a square formation, gradually changed its formation in the process of marching, and the wheeled walker that can accommodate 100 people is like a snail with armor on its head, pushed by the sergeant to move at the front of the military formation, and 100 crawler boxcars open the way in front of the military formation, which is spectacular.

Foot archers and soldiers wearing iron armor and cloaks followed closely in the boxcart and behind them, carrying ladders in their hands, which could cross the Hao bridge and folding bridge of the ditch, forming a phalanx of similar size, and rolling towards the Panyu city wall.

Behind the infantry formation, there were dozens of catapults. The catapult was created by Fan Li, the ancestor of Baiyue and the great general of Goujian.

The horn of the attack of the Minyue army on each city gate sounded at the same time, so each city gate has the same equipment of the Minyue army to attack, and the siege generally has a focused city gate, but it will not be shown at the beginning. After all, the situation where each gate is the main attack is only an exception, because then the casualties of the besieging side will be much higher.

The South Vietnamese army at the head of Panyu City has long been ready to resist the enemy, and all kinds of city defense equipment have been arranged in place one after another, listening to the trembling footsteps, watching countless Minyue troops gradually approaching the city wall, these South Vietnamese soldiers are just making the final preparations to defend the city in an orderly manner.

It is true that the South Vietnamese army is inferior to the Minyue army in terms of excellent weapons and sergeant training, but to this day, they have no lack of determination to fight to the death. Especially the shocking news that spread throughout the army this morning made them see the dawn of life and victory.

"Catapult, prepare!" The order flag waved, and a general of the Minyue army took the lead in shouting, and a number of Minyue sergeants next to the catapult quickly pulled the lanyard and loaded the stones.

"Put!" Under an order, dozens of huge stones took off from less than 400 steps away from the Panyu city wall, like locusts, and smashed into the Panyu city wall.

These huge, extremely fast rocks were like a magic spell, and the battle began.

"Avoid rocks!" The South Vietnamese general on the city wall of Panyu shouted, lowered his body, leaned against the female wall, and shrunk his body together.

The South Vietnamese soldiers had long been accustomed to such a scene, so all the soldiers moved very quickly, and at the same time as the huge stones smashed on the city wall, countless soldiers had already shrunk their bodies behind the women's wall.

Even so, there were still sergeants who died because the boulder crashed into the women's wall, and their bodies were crushed into meatloaf, and blood splattered like soup in an instant, mixed with the remains of internal organs and severed limbs.

"Catapult, ready, put!"

The catapults with the longest range were undoubtedly the first to strike, inflicting casualties on the defenders and intimidating them.

"Accelerate!" At the same time as the catapult was powerful, the Minyue military cadets of the phalanx of the raft shouted loudly, and the soldiers of the cart all roared, exerting their strength to eat, pushing the raft to the city wall at the speed of sprinting, all the way to the dust, sweating countless times.

After a few times, the body hid behind the women's wall, but the ballista captain of the Minyue Army, who had been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, took the lead in getting up, drew out his long knife, and shouted loudly: "Ballista, prepare!" "Ballistas, shaped like giant crossbows, were used to fire heavy javelins, powered by bundles of piso. Ballistas are so powerful that they can pierce several people with a single javelin shot, and they can pierce almost any piece of armor.

"Put!" The general's long knife pointed at the Minyue army swarming under the city, and more than 100 ballistae fixed on the city wall made a roar-like sound together, and more than 100 javelins burst out from the city wall, but the phantom flickered, and they crashed into the military formation of the Minyue army outside the city!

The unlucky Minyue sergeant was directly pierced through the body by the oncoming javelin, and together with several comrades, he was skewered on the javelin like a meat skewer, and then the javelin was nailed to the ground. These sergeants who had been out of breath or had not yet been out of breath for the time being, their bodies were hung in the air by the javelin guns, and Yin Hong's blood flowed down the javelins, staining the javelin guns red, and then dripping on the land that these soldiers had just set foot on, and they were instantly covered in dust and outlines.

Some javelins poked heavily at the crawler, and many directly pierced the crawler, and the sharp spikes pierced into the car body. Some of the sergeants who were burying their heads in the cart suddenly felt like their bodies had been struck by lightning, but the will to fight to the death made them continue to run without the idea of stopping. Until their hands slid off the handrails weakly, their feet could no longer move, and their eyelids were so heavy that they couldn't open them, and at this time, the last remaining trace of consciousness found that their bodies were still moving with the caravan! It turned out that their bodies had been pierced by javelins and worn together with the body of the caravato.

The dead sergeants can sleep quietly, the living sergeants have to continue to shout and bury their heads in the frenzy, and the hot battlefield is not depressed by the death of some sergeants, but more manic.

"Archer, release the arrow!" The archer captain at the head of Panyu City stood up from the female wall, raised his sword and shouted, and those archers all got up and left their female wall where they were hiding from the big stones, exposing their bodies to the air, and then decisively drew their bows and arrows and fired a volley at the Minyue army under the city wall.

Countless Minyue sergeants were plunged into their bodies by several arrows at the same time, but they were still desperately rushing forward, because they knew that they could not stop, and as soon as they stopped, they would be trampled under the feet of their comrades who were frantically pouring in behind them, and turned into meat sauce.

The blood exploded like a peony blooming in the wind, and it was very charming.

"Archer, cover!" The archers of the Minyue army near the trench began to shoot arrows at the city wall against the arrows that flew down from the city wall, even if many people just stood up and died, the bows and arrows in their hands fell to the ground silently, and no one hid and refused to stand up.

Since you are on the battlefield, you must maintain your dignity as a soldier, and since you have been a soldier in this life, you must be ready to die in battle at any time.

Either you win honor and fame on the battlefield or you die!

"Hao Bridge, Folding Bridge, Up!"

Under the cover of ballistas, the shelter truck, which was still intact, suddenly rushed out of some sergeants wearing iron armor and wooden planks, and more than a dozen people carried a bridge or folding bridge to build the trench in front of it. Many people fell into the trenches, many people pressed the end of the bridge with their bodies when they were dying, the injured people were dragged back by their companions, and no one looked at them again for the dead, and many sergeants who risked their lives to drag their comrades back to the boxcar, and when they looked back, they found that their comrades had already lost their breath.

"Cross the bridge!"

The van could no longer move forward, and the Minyue sergeant who could move jumped out of the van, bypassed the van from behind, braved the rain of arrows, and ran to the foot of the city wall.

"Saalwood, smash the fuck for Lao Tzu!" At this time, everyone's eyes were red-eyed, and the captains and generals who gave the order were no longer in accordance with the rules, and their anger made them speechless.

Wooden stalks, mud stalks, and brick skewers slanted down from the top of the city, and the soldiers under the city crowded together, unable to dodge, and watched the sassalwood enlarge in front of their eyes, they screamed loudly and squeezed desperately to the side, but they still couldn't stop the sassalwood from smashing their bodies to pieces.

"Ladder!"

Tens of thousands of Minyue troops finally began the most difficult "ant attached" process, the ladder was erected on the head of the city, and the Minyue soldiers wearing iron armor and cloaks began to climb the ladder without fear of death, and rushed to the city wall.

One by one, they fell, and one by one they climbed up, like crazy.

If you climb to the top of the city, you may have a glimmer of life, and if you stay under the city, you will surely die.

"Fly Hook!"

"Wood Rope!"

......

Bao Guan told Dou Fei and Gongsun Ce that they didn't have to go to the city wall to fight hard, and let them stay in the city. In fact, even if Bao Guan doesn't say it, they don't have the consciousness of going to the city wall desperately, this is a completely unnecessary thing, they are here to save the city, but they are not here to kill the enemy, there is no merit in killing the enemy, they are injured so much that they themselves hurt, and there may be a place to bury them when they die, and they can only complete the task if they save the city. Besides, even if the two of them go up to the city wall, it doesn't matter, it's just two people, there are not many of them, and there are no less of them.

"It's still a general's robe to wear comfortably, how can the armor of the pawn reflect the majesty and domineering spirit of my Gongsun General?" When Gongsun Ce was fine, he liked to revel in his first set of robes.

Dou Fei didn't have time to pay attention to him, he was talking to a group of sergeants in the courtyard, his expression was very solemn.

"Yu Shan's army is about to attack the city, if you die here today, what's the use of looking good?" After arranging things, Dou Fei entered the house and sniffed at Gongsun Ce's narcissism.

"We have already told Bao Guan that the Han reinforcements will arrive in three days, and if he can't hold this city for three days, there will be nothing wrong with me if I die." Gongsun Ce didn't care, "Didn't you say that morale is the heaviest?" Now that the South Vietnamese army is encouraged by this news, and its morale has long since doubled, what do I have to worry about? ”

"!" Dou Fei scolded, "If morale alone works, I still need to spend so much effort on layout, and I will go for a trip in person today?" ”

Gongsun Ce was stunned for a while, "That morale is useless again?" ”

"Of course not." Dou Fei shook his head and said, "Morale, just so that my layout can be realized smoothly." ”
