Chapter 196: The Battle of the Defending the City X

Seeing that the enemy army began to attack the city for the third time, everyone was nervous, tonight they had already experienced two sieges by the enemy, the first siege was defused by Ling Xia's clever tongue and a thousand jars of wine, not only thwarted the enemy's siege momentum, but also destroyed the enemy's siege corps of 600 catapults, 3,000 siege crossbows, and annihilated more than 3,000 enemies.

The first siege was just put out of formation and was defeated by Ling Xia, seeing the destroyed siege equipment, Yamamoto Yoshio was annoyed and angry and immediately launched the second siege, 30,000 giant hammer soldiers, 10,000 shield soldiers, 40,000 fierce generals rushed to the city gate under the rain of arrows and crossbows, and the 30,000 giant hammer soldiers almost smashed open the city gate, but they failed at the last moment.

At the critical moment, Ling Xia took the initiative to open the city gate, ordered the cavalry to break the giant shield in the hands of the giant shield soldiers, and sent his soldiers to shake the opponent's 30,000 giant hammer soldiers, and before the enemy's reinforcements arrived, they completely annihilated the shield soldiers on the opposite side, wiped out two-thirds of the giant hammer soldiers, successfully resolved the crisis of the city gate being breached, and once again thwarted the enemy's plan to attack the city.

Now is the third siege of the enemy, this siege, the opponent's strength is unprecedented, enough to dispatch three legions of soldiers and horses, if the battle flag division can not block this wave of attacks, then the gate of the southern city will be broken by the island country, then the state of Ontario will be lost, the mission in the theater of war failed, Ling Xia even if they survive, they can only escape like a lost dog.

Looking at the huge array of enemy troops under the city, Ling Xia gave the order to defend the southern city, at the same time, the enemy army began to attack in two ways, the wall climbers bit the steel knife in their mouths, and climbed quickly along the rope like a spirit ape, and the soldiers under the city pushed the chariot to break the door brutely, and the chariot was pushed by hundreds of soldiers, hitting again and again, and the city gate was crumbling.

"Division commander, let me go down, I will lead the brothers to kill the enemy, kill those widows, if they continue to continue, our city gate will be breached." Boss Luo looked at the siege soldiers under the city, and his eyes were staring at the boss, and his eyes were about to pop out.

"Master Pony, it's not good, the enemy's wall climbers are about to come up, the other side has archers to cover, the soldiers responsible for cutting the ropes can't show their heads at all, and the attacks from our archers and crossbowmen have been suppressed." At this time, Huya also looked anxious.

"What to do? The enemy's offensive this time is very fierce, whether it is the wall climbers stepping on the city wall, or the enemy troops under the city crashing open the city gate, we can't deal with it, because the enemy has gathered a full three legions this time, once the gap is broken, the enemy will continue to attack, and at that point, we will ------ danger. Mu Guying said in a deep voice.

"Prepare all the hundreds of barrels of copper oil below, and carry out all the timber that we picked out from the chopping house before, we have picked up half of the city, and the extra timber is piled up for several miles, and it was originally planned to be used as firewood for the house, but now it seems that it has to be repurposed." With a sneer, Ling Xia commanded:

"Archers, siege crossbows, and catapults carry out indiscriminate attacks, although these attacks do not cause much damage to those soldiers under the city, but they can cause some obstacles to the enemy army, so that they can help the soldiers below buy time, Huya, you tell those brothers, whether the state can be kept or not, count on them.

Take these captives down, order all the soldiers and captives to act collectively, and throw all the wood into the labyrinth behind our city, remember, pour all the copper oil on the wood before throwing, 110,000 captives plus our soldiers, should be able to complete the arrangement very quickly, I have only one request, that is, the following cannot be completed, and the city is not allowed to be withdrawn.

After the city is arranged, the soldiers lead the captives into the labyrinth, when entering, you must grasp the opportunity, not only to let the large army enter, but also to rush when the other party breaks through the city gate, just let the pursuers of the island country see, when the enemy army goes to chase you, you lead them into the labyrinth, after a circle, you leave through the exit, and the rest of the things are left alone. ”

With Ling Xia's order, everyone immediately took action, Yue Qianfeng and they escorted the captives down from the city wall as fast as possible, and returned to the ground behind the city, everyone acted together, pouring copper oil on the piles of wood, and then everyone carried the wood and threw it into the labyrinth, and the cavalry carried the wooden beams and rode towards the maze.

When they were busy below, the archers of the city wall shot frantically outside, they first targeted those wall climbers, and a rain of arrows poured down, shooting down those wall climbers, but this group of wall climbers had just been shot dead, and another group of wall climbers came up with shields, so that the firepower of the arrow tower was attracted by the wall climbers.

The watchtower and the firepower tower are equipped with siege crossbows, they aim at the soldiers under the city, one after another to fire crossbow arrows, although the crossbow arrows are fired as fierce as a rainstorm pear blossom, but because there are giant shield soldiers under the city to defend, so the damage caused is not very large, except for those soldiers who push the chariot and hit the door, the rest of the soldiers are not injured.

This was due to the fact that only the soldiers responsible for ramming the gates were exposed, while the soldiers of the other classes were protected by the shield wall. However, it was more than a thousand siege crossbows after all, and under the continuous attack, it still caused trouble for the siege team below, and several groups of soldiers responsible for hitting the door were shot dead.

Judging from the on-site effect, it is more practical to see the ten wall-breaking crossbows captured by Ling Xia, although the battle flag division only has ten wall-breaking crossbows, but the soldiers pick the enemy's chariot to shoot, as long as they can shoot, it is basically three crossbow pillars to destroy a chariot, and it is because of the wall-breaking crossbow that the enemy keeps changing chariots, unconsciously slowing down the siege speed.

……

When the battle was raging, the deputy general next to Yoshio Yamamoto seemed to have discovered something, and reported to Yoshio Yamamoto excitedly: "Lord Commander, look, the main generals on the opposite wall have withdrawn, and those prisoners have also been taken away. ”

After hearing this, Yoshio Yamamoto observed it and nodded proudly: "Hey, hey, hey----- yes, the other party has the intention of escaping, order to go down, speed up the attack, and catch up immediately after breaking through the city gate, you must not let those battle guards escape, it is best to capture the main general on the opposite side for me, and I will personally punish that flamboyant coward." ”

After Yoshio Yamamoto finished speaking, the adjutant general immediately conveyed his military order to the soldiers attacking the city on the front line, and after receiving the military order, the island country side doubled in an instant, and the city gate and city walls could be breached at any time......
