Chapter 712: The Siege
After several rounds of boulder attacks, the defenders of the city also recovered their calm from the panic, but the bodies hiding behind the female wall were still a little trembling, and the boulders did not even give them the confidence to look up at the city.
The thunderbolt car continued to attack for several days, so that the defenders suffered enough, and the soldiers in the army mentioned the thunderbolt car even more colored, the thunderbolt car was even more ferocious than Huang Zhong and Lu Bu, and the soldiers who died under the boulder were basically not complete, such a way of death was extremely terrible, so that their legs trembled when they mentioned going to the city wall.
Compared with the low morale of the defenders, the morale of the Han army outside the city was high, and such a hearty siege battle made many soldiers can't help but want to attack the city.
Yan Rou was shocked again, when he was outside Linyu City that day, if Lu Bu used such a means to attack the city, it would not take three days, Linyu City would inevitably be breached, at this time, he could suddenly understand the mood of the defenders in Haiyang City at the beginning, in the face of such an offensive, the defenders could give birth to a heart of resistance, which is a strange thing.
The existence of the thunderbolt car was beyond Yan Rou's cognition, he had even seen the scene after Liaoxi was broken by the Youzhou army, originally he thought that Lu Bu was just talking, after all, the Gongsun family had been in Liaodong for many years.
The ten-day siege of the city by thunderbolt completely destroyed the fighting spirit of the defenders, and from a distance, the fat city was as empty as a city, and some of the flags fluttering on the city walls also fell under the attack of the boulders, and no one could have imagined that there were nearly 20,000 defenders in such a city.
With the rumbling attack of the thunderbolts, the soldiers carrying the ladder stopped at a stone's throw from the city wall, and behind the ladder soldiers, there were twenty wells moving slowly.
The defenders have lost their fighting spirit, and they are used to hiding behind the women's wall, and as long as they make a move, they can take down the fat city.
Lu Bu took the Fang Tian Painting Halberd from the hands of his personal guards and prepared to go into battle in person.
Huang Zhong hurriedly persuaded: "The lord is a golden body, and the defenders in the city are already timid, why should the lord go out in person, his subordinates are willing to be the vanguard and capture Feiru." ”
Thinking of Jia Xu's advice before leaving, Dian Wei also stepped forward and said: "Why do you need a knife to kill chickens, I will definitely take my life." ”
Seeing Dian Wei's appearance of speaking in a crepe, Lu Bu smiled and said: "Okay, General Huang Lao and General Dian will be the vanguard to attack Feiru." "He didn't understand the intentions of his generals.
The rumbling war drums sounded suddenly, and the war drums seemed to be the signal of the attack, and the ladder soldiers, who had stayed an arrow away, ran towards the direction of the city wall at a very fast speed, and the well was also pushed by the soldiers, approaching the city wall.
After waiting for a long time, the defenders of the city still did not expect the boulder to fall, the drums outside the city rumbled, and a Wuhuan general cautiously stretched out his head to take a look at the situation outside the city, and shouted: "The Han army is going to attack the city!" ”
However, it was the defenders' confusion that responded to his shouts, and many of the soldiers were still hiding behind the women's wall shivering, not adapting to the attack of the thunderbolts, which also caused some of the defenders to tremble uncontrollably when they heard the sound of boulders falling to the ground.
"The enemy is attacking the city, be prepared!" The general shouted again, and the guards beside him were also running on the city wall.
This order also made the defenders react, and they cautiously picked up the blades in their hands, but what they saw was the cloud ladder soldiers running fast.
A ladder was firmly erected on the city wall, and then the ladder soldiers quickly retreated to the side, some soldiers even glanced back at the city wall, in their memory, when attacking the city, the biggest loss was the ladder soldiers, but from the time they charged to the end of the ladder, the defenders did not even put an arrow.
"Shoot the arrows!" The shouts of the generals made many defenders react, and they all took their bows and arrows.
The sparse rain of arrows caused a certain amount of trouble to the besieging soldiers, but it also stimulated the fighting spirit of the besieging soldiers, in their eyes, what Wuhuan warriors were, but a group of shivering turtles that would only hide behind the city wall.
The archers on the well quickly responded to the defenders' attack.
The defenders were very uncomfortable in the face of the sudden siege of the Han army, especially some recruits, who did not know what to do.
"Throw the stones around you and kill these Han soldiers." The general shouted, and after a while, he already felt his mouth dry.
The soldier with the blade in hand climbed the ladder at great speed.
The Han army that climbed to the top of the city was firmly guarding the side of the ladder, waiting for more robes to climb up to the top of the city.
Wang San is a soldier of Yuyang, after Zhao Yun captured Yuyang, he joined the army, and the war he experienced was nothing in the eyes of the veterans of the battlefield, because the bandits and strongmen would only run away in the face of the army, so until now, he can only be called a recruit.
After easily climbing the city wall along the ladder, Wang San tightened the ring head knife in his hand, this knife had the lives of three thieves, and today, he was going to use the ring head knife in his hand to kill more Wuhuan people.
A Wuhuan soldier kept screaming from his mouth, and Wang San's mind flashed the words that Wu Chang taught him, forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and slashed the ring knife towards the enemy's chest, his eyes closed, as if he was afraid that the enemy's blood would splash into his eyes.
The feeling of the ring knife entering the flesh made Wang San open his eyes, and the Wuhuan soldier who was still dancing his teeth and claws fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, and there was a pool of scarlet blood on the ground.
Wang San continued to suppress the fear in his heart, but the battlefield in front of him was completely different from the bandits and others he had contacted before, the battlefield was too big, and as far as the eye could see, the city wall was densely packed with Wuhuan soldiers.
"What kind of god are you kidding?" As soon as Dian Wei climbed the city wall, he saw Wang San standing there in a daze, rushing forward with an arrow, his left halberd cutting through the chest of a Wuhuan soldier, and scolded angrily.
"General." Wang San's face was slightly red, usually in the army, he was also considered an elite, but he couldn't adapt to the real battlefield for a while, in the words of the tun chief, he was very likely to become a chief, or even a tun chief.
Gritting his teeth, Wang San followed behind Dian Wei and slaughtered the enemy army.
The tall figure in front of him stimulated Wang San, Dian Wei's action was too fast, the Wuhuan soldier without armor protection, there was no enemy in his hands, the left halberd, the right halberd, killing a soldier was so simple in Wang San's opinion.
After the soldiers arrived, he saw that there were no less than 300 Han troops on the city wall, and hurriedly ordered the generals to support.
However, the Han soldiers who climbed the city wall did not fear because of the large number of enemies, but firmly guarded the side of the ladder.
