Under the strict punishment and strict law, although the people were attacked by arrows at the head of the city, the speed of filling the moat did not slow down, and they continued to fill the earth bags despite casualties.

Later, the military officials at the head of the city also seemed to have discovered that the Xiliang soldiers tried to use the people east of the river to consume their arrows, so although the arrows on the city head did not stop, they were no longer as dense as at the beginning, and the moat under the southern city wall was finally filled by the people one after another.

"Beat the drums, siege!"

Yan Xing didn't want to give the defenders at the head of the city a chance to rest and repair, so he immediately ordered the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time to take advantage of the situation to attack the city. So to the sound of rumbling war drums, a group of foot soldiers strode forward with rams and ladders, and rushed under the city wall along the road filled by the people.

"Arrow, Arrow!"

After the moat was filled in a few sections, the military officials defending the city knew that the Xiliang army was attacking the city, he hissed and shouted, and ordered the archers on the city head to hurriedly fire arrows to block the advance of the siege equipment of the Xiliang army, and then commanded the soldiers and civilian servants to pile up heavy objects such as rolling logs and falling stones to the city head, ready to attack and smash the soldiers and equipment of the Xiliang army.

The archers on the head of the city have already consumed a lot of physical strength in front, and under the order, although the arrows fired have been accelerated for a short time, they have quickly slowed down, and at the same time, the archers of the Xiliang army under the city have gathered in a group to press, and after entering the shooting range, they will not hesitate to throw arrows at the head of the city desperately.

"Ahh

After the thrown arrows rushed to the head of the city, the remaining momentum did not disappear, and they fiercely penetrated into the bodies of the soldiers defending the city, and suddenly the archers who were originally only concerned about firing arrows were hit one after another, and the speed of the sergeants and civilian servants who carried the rolling logs and falling rocks also slowed down a lot, and the soldiers commanding the city defense had to hold the shield on the one hand, and shout loudly at the archers to speed up the counterattack.

The shooting above and below the city is still continuing, although the archers on the city head are condescending, but they are the end of the strong crossbow, they are no match for the archers of the Xiliang army under the city, the arrows under the city are like a storm and rain flying up, and the soldiers running on the city wall have to learn from the old soldiers in the army, put the shield on their heads, and resist the dense rain of arrows.

Under the city wall, under the strong cover of their own archers, the ram and the ladder arrived one after another, and after the soldiers set up the ladder, they held a shield in one hand, held a ladder in the other, and held a ring knife in their mouths.

In contrast, the offensive at the city gate was not very smooth. After the soldiers who covered the ram approached near the city gate, the long-awaited rolling logs and falling rocks on the gatehouse fell one after another, causing the soldiers close to the city wall to quickly suffer casualties.

Under the cover of the shield bearer, the soldier carrying the battering hammer braved the flying arrows in the sky and the wood and stones that fell from time to time, regardless of the danger, and risked his life to hit the city gate, but the gate of Anyi was very strong, and there was a reinforced wooden frame and earth bag on the back, which could not be broken open by the soldier in a short time by relying on the ram.

The shield bearers were soon killed and wounded, and the hammermen, who were gradually lacking shield protection, were also hit hard by falling rocks and rolling logs, and the heavy rams even tilted to the ground because of the excessive casualties of the soldiers on one side.

Soon, however, shieldmen and soldiers stepped forward to take cover and raise their rams, and the sound of pounding on the gates continued. However, the defense on the tower of the city gate was also thorough, and it didn't take long for rockets to be fired from the top of the city, in addition to heavy objects such as wood and stones, and the straw bundles wrapped in grease and firewood were also set on fire and thrown down.

Eventually, the ram filled with rockets turned into a huge ball of fire, and under the blazing flames, the gates were filled with unkempt and embarrassed retreating soldiers.

Yan Xing saw the failure of the attack in the direction of the city gate, and he still looked as usual, quietly listening to the attack and defense of the city wall in other directions.

He was the commander of the three armies, and in addition to directing the offensive on the southern wall, he also had to coordinate other aspects of the war.

On the west side of the city wall, when the people of Zhai Sima filled in the ravine, there were heavy casualties, and the follow-up was weak, and the paving of the earth bag was only half completed, Zhai Hao was furious on the spot, killed several retreating people, ordered the light soldiers in the army to replenish the number of people, continue to fill the ravine, and personally enforced the law and supervised the war.

On the north city wall, in the process of filling the ravine, Yang Feng's department also suffered many casualties, but fortunately, the task was completed in time, filling in several sections of the moat, and the city wall is currently being attacked.

The eastern city wall was originally the one of Xu Kun, who had the least troops, but unexpectedly, the offensive was the one that made the most progress except for the southern city wall where Yan Xing was located.

Yan Xing's soldiers and horses were the most elite, and the number of people assigned was also the largest, and the southern city wall was the main direction of attack today. The city wall in the east was because Xu Kun personally braved the arrows and stones, took his own soldiers into battle, and carried dirt bags to fill the road with the soldiers and people, which greatly stimulated the morale of the soldiers and the people.

It seems that his brother, who is also in Dong Ying, has made great efforts to win the first credit for breaking the city!

This is not difficult to understand, Xu Kun held back for so long before he finally got the right to command the army from Yan Xing's hands, although it was only a temporary command of the siege of the city, but this was enough for Xu Kun to exert enough strength to strive to win the first merit of breaking the city to prove his ability.

Xu Kun's thoughts, Yan Xing could see it, and at this time, he was also happy to see it. The east city wall is connected with the south city wall, and the more fierce Xu Kun's offensive in the east is, the easier it is to attract the attention of the defenders on the city wall to his side, which also gives Yan Xing's main attack direction today, and the south city wall has more opportunities to break through the defense.

"Order, tell Zhai Hao that within half an hour, the gully must be filled in and the city wall must be attacked, otherwise the military law will be punished!"

According to the battle on the other three sides, Yan Xing immediately sent an order to the western city wall to give an order, and strictly ordered Zhai Hao to speed up the offensive.

After the commander was ordered to mount his horse, he set his eyes on the wall in front of him.

At the city gate, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, who were unwilling to give up their efforts, once again organized the soldiers to carry a new and larger ram and continued to approach the city gate to strike, but the falling rocks and rolling logs on the city gate tower still did not decrease, but the number became more dense, and more and more soldiers fell outside the city gate, and the situation was quite grim.

And the soldiers who climbed the ladder also suffered arrows, wood and stones, and suffered a lot of casualties, but they gradually gained an advantage, and there were more than a dozen soldiers of the ladder who climbed the city one after another, fighting with the defenders of the city, although they were more than a few enemies, and it was difficult to advance, and they could not take the city wall for a while, but they also made people see a little hope of taking the city.

The slight advantage of the Xiliang soldiers on the head of the city can not only be seen by the besieging side, but also by the military officials defending the city.

Although the soldiers on these dozen or so ladders were either killed by the defenders or forced to retreat from the city as soon as they came up, they were either killed by the defenders or forced to retreat from the city, but in the long run, the more troops were involved in the city, and the flaws in other directions would be revealed.

Therefore, the guards at the head of the city must fight back as soon as possible.

It was impossible for the Hedong soldiers to go out of the city to counterattack, but at this time, the boiling soup on the fire rack was also boiled, and the soldiers defending the city immediately asked the soldiers to pour the boiling soup into the wooden barrel, and poured their heads down the ladder along the city wall nearby. When the boiling soup with white smoke was poured on the ladder, there was a scream, and the stinging burning sensation made many soldiers wail, and the attack of the ladder was temporarily blocked.

Yan Xing saw the changes on the city, his eyelids also jumped slightly, this hot soup is better than arrows, rolling wood, and rocks, but the materials and production are much simpler, if it goes on like this, as long as the guards set up a fire on the city, and then continue to burn the fire and boil water, theoretically it can ensure the continuous investment of this kind of city defense equipment.

"Bao out!"

"In!"

In the ranks, the strong and powerful Bao came out in response, and he looked at Yan Xing, who personally ordered the general, with antiquation.

"I'll give you eighty warriors in the army, and you go and take down this section of the wall!"

"No!"

Although it was the first time to witness the tragedy of the siege battle, he did not have the fear and anxiety of ordinary people, but he was already eager to try, and was waiting for Yan Xing's order to go into battle in person and seize the city wall.

Yan Xing gave him, are selected from the army, there are Han people, there are Qiang people, Hu people dressed up, different from ordinary soldiers, some wear armor, some wear leather armor, some simply do not wear armor, only the clothes on the body, although the weapons are shields and short soldiers, but they are also varied, there are hook inlays, round shields, long cards, as well as ring knives, hammers, short marks, bows and crossbows, etc., just like a temporary gathering of light heroes, grass bands.

Bao Chu looked at the costumes of these people, and he already knew in his heart that he had learned some military laws and orders in the army these days, but he couldn't use them all at this time, he simply pointed to the rammed earth wall in front of him, and roared loudly:

"If you want to get rich, come with me!"

These people were also unruly in the army in the past, including Qiang Hu and others, Bao's shouting may not be understood by everyone, but after seeing Bao shouting, he rushed out in the direction of the city wall, and everyone also shouted in unison, and rushed out quickly.

Bao ran out of the front, he didn't go to command the scrambling to choose the front behind him, in the army, let him learn a lot, the army to control the subordinates is actually similar to the control of the ranger, the evil boy, before establishing their own majesty, it is best to tighten their mouths, don't put on a different shelf, in front of these unruly candidates, it is just self-inflicted humiliation.

After rushing to a cloud ladder, Bao Chu did not hesitate, bit the ring knife in his hand, put the shield on his head with his right hand, held the cloud ladder with one left hand, stepped on the steps of the cloud ladder, and climbed to the top of the city without making a sound.

He could hear the roar of a striker under his feet, this unlucky fellow, because he was not as fast as Bao Zhu's footsteps, after Bao Zhu occupied a ladder, he could only wait anxiously under the ladder after Bao Zhu occupied a ladder, and just as he was cursing, an arrow hit him in the shoulder, his body trembled, he roared, did not fall, despite the bleeding wounds on his body, climbed the ladder more eagerly.

Bao Zhu didn't care about the movement under his feet, after adapting to the interval of the simple steps on the ladder, his pace of climbing became faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye it was already in mid-air, at this time the shield on his head had been shot several times, the shouts of the city, the muffled sound of the arrow hitting the shield "poof", the sound of the bowstring on the head of the city, mixed in his ears, plus being in the air, for some reason, actually gave him a strange sense of relaxation hanging in the air.

He tried his best to get this strange feeling out of his mind, and Bao Chu knew very well that in this kind of fierce battle, at every moment, there were people killed by arrows in the city and under the city, and the next short handover would only be more intense, and if he had a little distraction in his mind, he would soon be killed by the dense enemy army at the head of the city because he couldn't react.

"Ahh

There was an angry cry from the head of the city, Bao Chu saw a soldier holding a large stone, trying to smash it at himself from the city, Bao Chu's scalp exploded instantly, he subconsciously relied on the arm strength of his left hand in the next moment, and turned his body to the side, and the shield of his right hand was tilted to remove the impact of the falling rock.

Almost at the same time, the boulder fell from the top of the city, although it was only rubbed from Bao Chu's shield, but it still almost knocked Bao out of the ladder, Bao Chu's right arm came from a pain, he gritted his teeth, his body returned to its original position, his feet exerted force, continued to climb the ladder, and accelerated to climb the city.

The guard at the head of the city saw that the falling stone did not hit Bao Zhu, and his figure was hidden behind the battlement, and after a while, he held a large stone in his hand, and came to the ladder out of breath, wanting to repeat the old trick and smash Bao out of the way.

"Whoosh-"

Maybe it was because he had smashed too many falling rocks, the guard was a little lacking in physical strength, and his movements were a little slower, but after he came out of his body, an arrow from under the city hit him in the face with precision, and he screamed, and the strength of his body dissipated instantly, and the stone fell straight under his feet.

"Whew-"

Bao Out from running to the bottom of the city, and then from the ladder to climb here, although it was only a short period of time, but after experiencing the thrilling scene just now, Bao Out still consumed a lot of strength, he gasped, but did not dare to stop at all, seeing that a few steps further, he would be able to turn over the city.

At this time, the thrilling thing appeared again, a bucket was held high between the wall stacks, Bao's pupils instantly dilated, he roared, and his body violently exerted force, wanting to rush up the highest step and climb the wall.

The hot soup poured down from his head, Bao Chu could only use the shield to protect his head, the hot soup touched the shield and poured down, Bao Chu could feel the pain of the side of his face and left hand being burned by the splashed hot soup, but at this time, this feeling only made Bao Chu more ruthless, as soon as he turned over, he was lucky to avoid a spear and turned over the city.
