Outside the east wall of the Xiyang County Mansion, the black-pressed soldiers of the Chen Army were taking a ladder, and they threw many lighted fireballs into it, but they failed to ignite the fire as expected, but they heard the shouts of killing from other places, and they knew that their comrades had already made a move, so under the supervision of the generals, they desperately climbed the wall to break into the mansion.

These bamboo ladders were prepared for a long time, and it was convenient to set up them, as long as they leaned against the wall, as the 'first' soldiers, wearing heavy armor, were the first to step up the ladder, they were experienced in a hundred battles, first with sticks to prop up the band, to lure the waiting crossbowmen inside to release arrows, and then take advantage of the gap to climb over the wall.

However, there was no movement inside, maybe it was not noticed, maybe it was because it was calm, and the soldiers who first ascended were also ready to shoot at this time, so they had to grit their teeth and rush up to climb the wall and turn over.

The sound of the bowstring sounded, and blood splattered, and the first ten soldiers who climbed over the wall were all shot by crossbow arrows, seven of whom were killed on the spot, and three who were wounded and jumped off the wall were also killed by the arrows that followed.

The mission of attracting the crossbow arrows was accomplished, and their deaths paved the way for their successors, and a second group of ten soldiers climbed the wall and were about to jump off the wall, when the archers in ambush in the palace also released a second wave of arrows to knock them over.

With the first two groups of dead soldiers who opened the way, the third group of ten Chen soldiers finally managed to climb down the wall after paying the casualties of five people being shot at the head of the wall, and just as they were about to roll to avoid the arrows after landing, they felt wrong the moment they landed.

It wasn't the expected trap, but it was stepping on something, and it was hard but slippery, so no matter what position it landed, it didn't stand still and fell to the ground, because the wall was not low, so this problem came.

Either he lost consciousness due to ankle pain, or he sat on the ground with a random tail vertebrae, and the entire waist bone was numb and couldn't stand up. Either or after slipping, he subconsciously twisted his wrist with his hand and threw the weapon off in his hand.

Some of them slipped and knelt forward, only to have their knees hit the ground so hard that they rolled on the ground in pain, let alone stood up. A soldier scooped it up, but it was a pebble that was usually visible. Then Firelight looked around and saw that the ground under the wall was covered with pebbles of various sizes.

Somehow, the crossbowmen in the palace seemed to pause, and more Chen soldiers came in over the wall and then jumped down, and most of them fell and couldn't stand up, they knew that it was not good, and they wanted to shout not to come in, but they were shot down by the rain of arrows that followed.

After a few rounds, the generals of the Chen army outside the wall heard the screams of their comrades inside the wall, and knew that something was wrong, so the soldiers continued to climb the wall, but lit fireballs again and threw them inside.

The fireballs were thrown into the house and landed on the ground, but it didn't take long for the roof to be swept away with a long bamboo pole with an iron hook at the end, and the poisonous smoke vine balls that emitted thick smoke fell to the ground, and not long after they landed, they were wrapped in a damp cloth with a long bamboo pole as the handle, and then covered with a wooden barrel and could no longer smoke.

Outside the wall, Chen Jun saw that the arson was ineffective, and he attacked it a few times, but there was still no return, and he was helpless for a while, and there were no houses within a width of about ten steps next to the mansion, so they wanted to send archers to suppress the archers in the mansion on the roof, but there was no way.

Their comrades on the west side of the mansion were advancing rapidly, and many of them had already braved arrows to climb over the wall, but they were faced with a second wall ten paces away, which was as high as the outer wall and required a ladder to continue climbing.

There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, all of them Chen soldiers who had been shot by crossbowmen on the watchtower of the mansion when they climbed over the outer wall. If you climb this second wall, I'm afraid that you will die even more, because there must be people waiting inside.

"Quick, take the ladder over the wall!" The soldiers took the ladder handed over by the outer wall and hit the second wall, and when they were about to climb the ladder, they suddenly heard a low roar at the end of the passage between the wall and the wall, and some people looked at it but saw several pairs of scarlet eyes staring at them.

When they came back to their senses, they heard the barking of dogs, and then more than ten black shadows rushed up, and the soldiers were caught off guard by these red-eyed vicious dogs.

These vicious dogs were nimble, and the soldiers were crowded, and they waved the knives in their hands for fear of hurting their partners, and in a matter of moments, they were bitten all over the field, and the soldiers inside and outside could hear the movement inside, and looked at each other.

They didn't have anything like meat buns that could attract the attention of the watchdogs, and now they rushed over the wall to get in, first, they had to brave the arrows, second, they had to deal with these beasts after landing, third, they had to climb over the second wall, they had to be shot by arrows, and finally they had to deal with ambushes when they entered the courtyard, and no one could bear this series of difficulties.

"Throw fireballs, throw fireballs in there and burn these sons of bitches!" The Warlord shouted. However, when the lighted fireballs and torches entered, the vicious dogs heard the whistle and did not move, and it seemed that they had gone out of the dog's hole to avoid the fire.

"Release, release the rocket!" The general shouted angrily. Anyway, it's all arson, so if you use rockets to set fire, then it will be difficult for the other party to extinguish, because the distance is not wide enough, so they use the bowstring half-pull projectile method to release rockets.

Somehow, after several rounds of rockets, I found that the fire did not ignite as expected, and I could faintly hear the sound of bamboo poles slapping, thinking that the other party was using a long bamboo pole to shoot rockets that had fallen on the roof or flammable objects.

"Shoot the arrows, keep the arrows, I'll see how many times they can save them!"

The archer pulled the bow and lit the arrow, and then raised it, and was about to release the arrow, when he saw something suddenly fly out from behind the wall, specifically, piles of white powder falling on his body, and his face was choking.

Before they could react, everyone only felt that their eyes, nose, mouth, and even neck began to burn, and then it was unbearable and even difficult to breathe, and after the white mist, the Chen soldiers who were shrouded in white powder fell to the ground with screams, and then the water poured from the wall poured on their bodies, which aggravated their pain.

The general rubbed his eyes desperately, stumbled around in circles, and shouted Come and save me, but where can anyone take care of him, and the comrades who were lucky enough to come forward to help their comrades were helpless, they thought that the people gathered under the wall, so the people in the mansion had no means to deal with it, but they were inexplicably hit, causing the scene to be chaotic.

On the north side of the mansion, the Chen soldiers who climbed over the wall were first overwhelmed by the pebbles on the ground, and then stabbed by the pikemen who were waiting for them, and these pikemen were holding ridiculously long spears and waiting in the shed three steps from the wall to deal with the Chen soldiers who jumped down.

Because of the shelter, the archers of the Chen army who climbed the wall could not see the target even if they wanted to release their arrows, and the crossbowmen waiting behind the shed in the courtyard also shot the soldiers who climbed over the wall with heavy casualties.

Originally, the Xiyang County Mansion, which was expected to be taken soon by attacking from all sides, actually stood still under the siege of hundreds of Chen soldiers, and the news was summarized to the tomb of Chen Shu, the king of Shixing, located near the main gate on the south side, which made it even more violent:

"Rubbish, it's all a bunch of rubbish!"

Chen Shuling brandished the knife in his hand and roared, and the generals around him were also terrified when they saw this, according to several summary situations, it was not long after attacking Yuwenwen's mansion that they lost nearly forty percent of their troops.

The most terrifying thing is not the arrows, dog bites, or inexplicable white powder in the other three directions, but the mechanism at the main gate that solved dozens of people at one time, this unheard of mechanism makes people frightened.

The main entrance compound had been turned into a Shura field, and it was full of blood and wreckage, so that even if the soldiers dared to rush in, they could not stand steadily: the scene was too bloody, and there was blood all over the ground, and if they were not careful, they would slip and fall.

And the crossbowmen waiting in the dark in the house can shoot people calmly, because of this, and the soldiers see the blood all over the ground and their feet are weak, so the main gate has not been attacked.

"Tian Yuansheng, you said that the Tian clan would attack the city and come in to help in the war, now what? Now where are they! Chen Shuling asked with red eyes, Tian Yuansheng no longer had the appearance of winning the victory just now, but explained profusely that the other party was feintting to attack the west gate and north gate of Xiyang City to attract the attention of the defenders, so that they had no time to divide their troops to rescue the mansion.

"Feint, feint! This king has carved a large piece of land in Jiangnan for his Tian clan, but now it is a bunch of waste! Chen Shuling said angrily, now that Yuwenwen's mansion has been surrounded by him, he will definitely not be able to run away, he never thought that it was a difficult bone to gnaw, according to the current situation, if there are no new troops to invest in them, I am afraid that they will suffer heavy casualties.

This is just to attack the periphery and lose a large number of troops, if you rush in and meet each other in a short battle, the other party will definitely be trapped in the beast fight, and whether it can be taken when the time comes, not to mention that the time has dragged on for a long time, and the soldiers of the fish belly state stationed in the military camp in the city will be troublesome when they come to make trouble.

The soldiers of Yuyu Prefecture are careless, but rushing to reinforce will deal a serious blow to their morale, and the originally high morale will also decline when they cannot advance or retreat, and it is not impossible to reverse the tide of the battle under the strength of one or the other.

"Send a signal, send a signal to let the Tian clan move faster, if you miss the matter of this king, then let Tian Zongguang stay in Jiangbei and wait to be exterminated!"

The two local heroes who helped the battle tonight, the Tian clan was the main force to support Chen Shuling, and the Lu clan had to go all out to entangle the soldiers in the eastern suburbs of the city, so they could not support themselves, Chen Shuling's reason was that he could break through the Yuwenwen Mansion with the nearly 1,000 soldiers he brought, but now it seems that the victory and defeat are still between the two, so he especially needs the support of Tian's troops.

"King, Yuwen Wen has already taken precautions, and the city gate is closed, and the Tian clan alone can't attack it." Tian Yuansheng explained, seeing Chen Shuling staring at him with a fierce look, he immediately added: "Great King, the last general and Tian Zongguang have an agreement that if they need help, let them detour to the south and enter the city from the south gate. ”

"Then you don't send someone soon!"

"Yes, yes, the last general will let go of the arrow and let people urge it!"

"Can anyone else stop the state soldiers?" Chen Shuling asked again, Tian Yuansheng nodded hurriedly and said that there was no problem, this time, his accomplices also used their strength to take private soldiers and domestic servants to fortify at the main road, just to block the state soldiers who rushed to rescue Yuwenwen.

"Those fish belly generals know best, they are all waste, and they can't walk when they see blood, let alone hand-to-hand combat."

"Immediately release the arrow, this king must see Yuwen Wen within half an hour!" (To be continued.) )
