Chapter 309: Defending the City
The sky is clear.
In the sky, the dark clouds that pressed on people's heads gradually dispersed, and the golden sunlight shone on the earth. Many people's faces are flushed, and the weather in May is not so hot. The sunshine in May is naturally warm.
Lu Bu, who was carrying a Fang Tian painting halberd, inspected the Jinyang city wall.
Counting up, the Yuan army has been attacking for several days, and the Yuan army can be said to be attacking fiercely in these days! There were many casualties on both sides of the attack. Under Jinyang City, the corpses piled up were stacked in several layers. Lu Bu knew that this Jinyang was a vicious battle! In this battle, the two armies of Yuan and Lu did not die. Both sides understood what it would mean if Jinyang was lost.
"Woooooo
A rapid and lengthy horn sounded, and the soldiers of Yuan under the city began to prepare for the siege again.
The city of Jinyang is very solid, its topography is victorious, it is close to the mountains and rivers, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jinyang was once the capital of the Zhao family. Zhao Ying moved north and built Jinyang into a strong barrier, which became a barrier for their Zhao clan! Later, Zhibo, together with Han Wei's two soldiers, besieged Jinyang, besieged Jinyang, cut off other support, and besieged it on all sides! Even the diversion of Fen water to irrigate the city, but even so, it failed to break through this barrier! Instead, Zhao Wuxian sent his adviser Zhang Mengtan to persuade the Han and Zhao families, dug the water mouth, and poured water into Zhibo's army, and Zhibo's army was suddenly in chaos, Zhao Wuxian then boosted morale in Jinyang City, counterattacked, and led the soldiers to attack from the front, and the Han and Wei families also attacked Zhibo's army from the flank, resulting in Zhibo's defeat. The defeated Zhibo, not only his head was cut off and painted as a drinking vessel, but even the Zhi clan, the largest clan in the Jin Kingdom, was wiped out. The three families of Han, Zhao and Wei, who won a big victory, jointly divided the land of the Zhi clan and split the entire Jin Kingdom in this battle, which is said to be the division of the three families.
It is conceivable the importance of this battle of Zhibo besieging Jinyang! If Jinyang City had broken Zhibo at that time, I am afraid that there would have been no three divisions in history, and the Zhi family would have been promoted.
"Woohoo!"
Arrows from under the city are coming! Lu Bu has not seen the scene of ten thousand arrows firing at once, and even more spectacular scenes than this, he has seen them! But as he watched his soldiers die under this arrow, Lu Bu's eyes turned red in an instant!
"Lord, danger!"
Dian Wei stepped forward with a big shield in his hand and blocked the flying arrows for Lu Bu! The sound of arrows whistling past has been ringing in my ears, and arrows are flying mercilessly! Even the wooden pillars of the pavilion on the corner tower were full of arrows, and the front half of the body was submerged in this pillar, but the arrows on the back half of the body were still trembling, making a buzzing and harsh sound.
"Crossbowmen!"
Lu Bu shouted angrily!
Let Dian Wei and the others protect it tightly, Lu Bu could only see through the gaps in this shield armor that those Yuan soldiers pushing siege equipment were slowly advancing! Even the moat couldn't stop their advance, and the arrows of the Yuan army suppressed the soldiers in the city so much that they couldn't raise their heads. One by one, they could only hide under cover, listening only to the buzzing sound of arrows in their ears.
"Shoot!"
Facing the arrows of the Yuan army, the crossbowmen in the city also began to return fire, and the arrows of both sides flew at each other, and many of the dense arrows even collided in mid-air and fell like raindrops.
The city of Jinyang is very high, four or five zhang long, and the condescending crossbowmen should have been oppressive to the crossbowmen of the Yuan army, but when Lu Bu saw the dozens of tall wells of the Yuan army, he knew why the bows and crossbows of the Yuan army were so strong. These wells are much higher than the ones Lu Bu saw, this ordinary well is only three and a half floors, and the height is only three or four zhang at most, and it is okay to suppress the ordinary city, but in the face of a strong city like Jinyang, it is far from good! But now these tall wells in front of Lu Bu's eyes are as tall as Jinyang City. There were also many crossbowmen in the Yuan army, and the crossbowmen of the Yuan army standing on the tall well were densely packed, shooting the arrows in the quiver like a machine.
Yuan Jun is very strong! The strongest of these is the crossbowman! Yuan Jun's crossbowmen were more than three times as many as the crossbowmen in Jinyang City! And this arrow is more like an inexhaustible and inexhaustible source! I don't know how many arrows have been poured out in these days! But it's still not exhausted. Those crossbowmen tirelessly repeated the movements in their hands, so that the soldiers in the city were too pressed to raise their heads.
"Boom!"
Not only the crossbowmen, but also those trebuchets in the Yuan army also threw those huge stones out and smashed them on the wall of Jinyang! Every huge impact makes the wall shake! There were also a lot of stones smashed into the tall corner tower, smashing into debris everywhere, and many buildings were completely destroyed.
Under the cover of the crossbowmen, the siege soldiers of the Yuan army also gradually approached the city of Jinyang! Thousands of Yuan soldiers built ladders on the city of Jinyang, pulling the ladder cables at a very fast speed, facing the arrows flying from the city, rolling stones and trees raining down from the city, but these could not stop these Yuan soldiers' attacking hearts! At this moment, the soldiers on both sides were red-eyed! Both the offensive and defensive sides are facing the danger of life and death, but there is no way out.
Lu Bu also rushed out of the shield array, on the battlefield, Lu Bu only knew one thing, that is, the more afraid of death, the more death may befall you! He broke out of the rain of bullets, and in the face of the killing in this era of cold weapons, he did not have the slightest fear!
There are constantly people climbing the ladder, and there are also people falling from the high ladders. There was a noisy sound all around, and Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd swept fiercely on the body of a climbing Yuan soldier, and that huge strength knocked Yuan soldier out of the air! However, the threat of death did not frighten the soldiers who followed, and people continued to climb up.
Lu Bu picked off several people one after another, and he was also a little frowning, and his eyes were on the cloud ladder!
This ladder is not what you will see on the screen in later generations, it is a simple, seemingly extremely fragile ladder, as if it can be pushed down by anyone! Many war movies are extremely embarrassing to watch, since the ladder is so easy to destroy, why do you still kill people?
The appearance of the ladder on the screen is obviously impossible to really use in actual combat! The ladder in this actual combat is very complicated to make, and there are wheels under the ladder, which is called "ladder car". "It is also equipped with shields, winches, grappling hooks and other equipment! At the top of the ladder, most of them are equipped with hooks, which are used to hook the city wall and prevent the ladder from being damaged by the defenders!
Fang Tian waved his halberd! Lu Bu suddenly stuck the crescent branch on the cloud ladder, facing those Yuan soldiers who were still climbing up, Lu Bu's face turned cold, the muscles of his arms suddenly rose, his whole body suddenly used his strength, and a beast-like roar erupted from his throat, "Ah! ”
"Ahh
Sergeant Yuan, who was still climbing, looked at the mighty figure that was about to stir up the entire cloud ladder with his own strength! The hook at the top of the ladder clicked under the huge force, and the rope actually broke! And the ladder was also picked up entirely, and the soldiers and soldiers of Yuan who were still on the ladder fell from the seven or eight meters high ladder one after another, and their brains were torn apart and their flesh and blood were blurred, and the screams and moans that fell in the pool of blood were endless.
"Boom!"
The tall ladder collapsed with a bang! smashed to death, the wood debris was scattered everywhere, and those Yuan soldiers who were still climbing up the city could only look up at the mighty figure holding the Fang Tian painting halberd, all of them were afraid!
