Chapter 41: Fierce Battle
"Next, it's up to us." Wei Feng muttered. He knew that with Zhang Pingzhong's character, he would not be sending reinforcements, and even if he did, he would not be able to enter the city, which means that Juyong County would always insist on the arrival of the army.
"General of Juyong County, your reinforcements have been wiped out, Lord Chulishi said, as long as you lay down your arms and surrender, your lives will be guaranteed." There is no shortage of traitors at any time, and a man dressed in Han Chinese clothing shouted close to the city wall.
Many people are a little moved, what supported them to persist was not only to protect their families, but also that reinforcements were coming, but now that the reinforcements are gone, many people who are not determined have been shaken.
"Huh." When everyone reacted, the traitor already had an arrow stuck in his neck, and Wei Feng took a strong bow and said, "Have you forgotten the tragedy in the three counties?" They are adjacent to our Juyong, and many people also have relatives and friends there, think about their tragic deaths, the Wuhuan people have never been trustworthy, they used to surrender to the Han Dynasty, but they have rebelled many times, if we have weapons, they will become lambs to the slaughter, and the end can be imagined."
When others thought about it, this group of barbarians had never been trustworthy, so how could they put their lives in their hands.
When Chulius learned that the messenger had been killed, he was furious and ordered his army to attack the city at once. rushed towards Juyong. Although Juyong is a border county town, and the city walls are barely tall, it is a bit child's fun to attack it in a short period of time with only a few ladders and rushing cars.
The Wuhuan people who got off the horse hugged the cloud ladder and quickly approached the city wall, two hundred steps, one hundred steps, the crossbowmen on the city wall bent their bows and arrows, looked at the Wuhuan people under the city, and waited nervously.
Fifty steps. "Shoot the arrows!" , Wei Feng shouted, and then only heard a buzzing sound, and arrows as dense as flying locusts poured down.
The distance between 50 and 10 paces is the area where the crossbowmen defending the city have the greatest lethality, if they are far away, the strength is not enough, if they are close, the crossbowmen are affected by their own walls, and they have to lean out every time they shoot, and the frequency of shooting will decrease.
The rain of arrows submerged in the surging crowd, and then a scream rang out, and the incoming crowd paused as if it had hit a reef. Then the flow of people seemed to be a little smaller, but it continued to pour towards the city walls.
The militia on the city wall kept bending their bows and arrows and raining arrows downward, and the Wuhuan people besieging the city kept getting shot and falling to the ground. However, the Wuhuan people did not let anyone slaughter, and their cavalry kept firing arrows at the city wall, and the militia on the city wall also fell to the ground from time to time. But for now, the Juyong militia has the absolute upper hand, after all, they occupy a position on the city wall, and the power of the foot bow is much greater than that of the riding bow.
Although the arrows on the city wall caused a lot of casualties to the Wuhuan people, the Wuhuan people still arrived under the city wall after all.
The ladder of the ladder hand was successively set up on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Wuhuan people bit their blades and began to ascend the city. At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded on the city wall, and when I looked up, I saw stones and trees rushing down.
The Wuhuan soldiers who were halfway up to the city were smashed down one after another, and those who had not yet begun to ascend the city under the city were also smashed down a large area, and the scene was a piece of flesh and blood. Suddenly, there were two loud 'clicks', and it turned out that the two ladders were broken by the heavy logs, and a soldier who was about to climb the city wall only felt that there was a sudden emptiness under him, and then he fell down with the upper half of the ladder, and the screams of horror echoed in the air.
The siege did not go smoothly, the Wuhuan people suffered heavy losses under the attack of the defenders on the city wall, and many ladders were destroyed by the people who did not care for their lives.
Chulis's face was cloudy, and after a long time, he finally nodded heavily, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Withdraw the troops!" ”
Immediately, the golden bell rang, and Ding Yuanjun, who was besieging the city, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly retreated from under the city wall.
The Juyong militia on the city wall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although they had been guarding for a while, almost all of them were people, and everyone was very nervous, if it weren't for a belief and Wei Feng's reasonable scheduling, I am afraid that they would have collapsed long ago.
Another siege by the Wuhuan people failed, and earth-shattering cheers rang out from the city walls.
However, Wei Feng, as the commander, did not show the slightest expression of joy, because he knew that the real and more brutal siege battle had not yet begun, and he was really worried about whether he could hold on, just with these untrained people, whether he could block the siege of the Wuhuan people.
Chulishi ordered the army to surround Juyong City on three sides, and the lack of one of the three sieges was not only understood by the Han people.
The night passed, and the entire mediocre military and civilians spent a sleepless night. In fact, the Qiulishi outside the city didn't rest well, he was in a hurry! The current situation is extremely bad for Wuhuan, two of the four armies have suffered major defeats, and they are currently in a stalemate, and Yuyang is only taking advantage of the Han army's lack of reaction to capture a county town.
When the genius was bright, the Wuhuan army made a move. In the roaring sound of war drums, a group of Wuhuan sergeants carried ladders from the north, south, and west directions towards Juyong, this time Chulishi learned his lesson and ordered the craftsmen to rush to make the ladders overnight, and he wanted to attack the city in one fell swoop.
"Wake up! Wake up! The sentry in charge of standing guard hurriedly woke up the militiamen who were dozing off with their blades. The sleepy-eyed militiamen couldn't help but shudder when they saw the murderous Wuhuan army outside the city, and they came to their senses completely.
"Beat the drums of war!" , Wei Feng, who was standing on the tower of the city gate, ordered in a cold voice.
Tom tom!! The war drums on the castle tower sounded-for-tat. The militia was inspired by the drums of war, and their morale could not help but be boosted.
Kill!! When the Wuhuan army outside the city advanced to a distance of a hundred meters, it suddenly shouted and began to charge in full. Looking down from the top of the city, it was as if the waves that had been slow had suddenly turned into evil waves.
As before, at the beginning, the crossbowmen on both sides fired at each other, and there were casualties on each other, but the Wuhuan army suffered much heavier losses due to the fact that they were the attacking side.
A moment later, the Wuhuan army rushed to the city and set up a row of ladders along the city wall, and the scene was spectacular.
The Wuhuan army roared and climbed up the ladder, while the mediocre militiamen threw stones and logs down in desperation.
But this time is different from the previous ones, this time the Wuhuan army attacked regardless of casualties, and they erected too many ladders! Although the stones and logs thrown from the city wall caused heavy casualties to the Wuhuan army, it could not stop the Wuhuan army from ascending the city.
Wei Feng, who was standing on the tower of the city gate, looked at the Wuhuan army that was densely attached to the wall, and couldn't help frowning, and his heart continued to sink. Looking at this posture, it is difficult for Juyong City to hold on!
The Wuhuan army desperately climbed the city wall with stones and trees, and the militia who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded and killed. At first, the militia relied on their numerical superiority to suppress the other side, but as the number of opponents climbed the city wall increased, the advantage slowly shifted to the side of the Wuhuan army.
At this moment, the militia had forgotten their fears, and everyone was fighting desperately. Although their combat effectiveness is inferior to that of the regular army, the momentum they show at this moment is definitely not inferior to anyone.
