Chapter 224: Climbing the Wall
Yang Guang hesitated for a moment, although he was a military veteran, he also knew that this level of dense arrow rain could not even stand the archers shooting under the city, and how could the infantry who set up ladders and rush cars to attack the city without cover be able to stand it?
Knowing that he was going to pay a terrible price, but he had to make this decision, the corners of Yang Guang's mouth hooked, and he asked tentatively: "Can you really force it?" ”
Dugu Sheng gritted his teeth and said: "You can't be afraid of the dead in a war, the Wei army is so at the head of the city with us, our army's strength advantage can not be displayed, and now the stones of the catapult are almost smashed, relying only on archers, the coverage and strike strength are limited, and with low shooting and high, there are city walls and battlements at the head of the city as protection, which cannot cause effective large-scale damage to the Wei army, on the contrary, our army is suffering a big loss, and it can't suppress them at all!" Therefore, in order to defend against the attack of the Wei army's bow and arrow, we had to attack the city with infantry ants wearing heavy armor, and with the protection of heavy armor, although the flexibility and mobility will be poor, but it can resist some arrows. We have a lot of people, as long as we attack in an all-out way, then the Wei army may take care of one or the other, if we shoot our siege infantry, then our archers can take the opportunity to release arrows, the head of the city can accommodate a maximum of 1,000 people 2,000 people, it is impossible to shoot all our siege troops to death, when the time comes, while climbing the wall, while hitting the weak position of the city gate and the city wall with a rushing car, it will definitely be able to attack! ”
Yang Guang knew the answer in his heart, nodded, and said, "That's it!" ”
Seeing that Yang Guang had no objections, Dugu Sheng drew his sword and ordered: "Infantry attack!" ”
Hearing the order, Dugu Yanyun and other sons and nephews of the Dugu family took out the treasure knife they were carrying, held it high to the sky, and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me!" ”
The ten thousand drums of the Sui army shook, the horns sounded in unison, accompanied by the earth-shaking shouts and killing sounds of the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, soaring into the sky!
"Knock knock~!"
"Woo woo woo~!"
"Kill~!"
"Rush~!"
"I'm going to get rich~!"
With the sound of a dull drum horn outside the city of Liyang Cang, the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army who were divided into four gates lined up into a block of more than 1,000 people, and under the leadership of their respective forward generals, they took firm and powerful steps, and rushed towards the city wall at their fastest speed.
"Whoosh~!"
"Poof!"
"Kill~! Kill~! ”
On the battlefield, arrows rained down, but the damage to the Sui hoplites in the phalanx was minimal, only a few unlucky ghosts who were shot at the junction of heavy armor or the neck, eyes and other vital parts were shot, and the vast majority of the Sui heavy infantry were still shouting and shouting and running towards the city wall.
These Sui hoplites are all strong men with strong bodies and infinite strength, carefully selected from various units, and their physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, so they can still walk like flying in armor weighing dozens of pounds.
At this moment, they all have melee weapons such as swords and clubs in their hands, wearing heavy armor, and many of them have one to several arrows inserted in their bodies, but they can rarely break through the armor and go straight in, these ironclad warriors don't even need to pull out these arrows, they directly pull out the waist knife around them and cut off the arrows with a wave, leaving only a small short section still on their armor. But they were unmoved, following the backs of their own generals, shouting trumpets, and running briskly towards the city walls with firm steps. Their eyes flashed with murderous aura, and with an unstoppable momentum, it looked like they were almost about to tear down the entire city wall!
Looking at the hoplites of the Sui army, Xu Shibi hurriedly ordered: "Throwing stones~!" Quick, Rock Throwing! ”
With Xu Shibi's loud order, the Wei soldiers and Minzhuang auxiliaries at the head of the city began to lean over the ground to find stones, those watermelon-sized stones, all over the ground, which were the missiles left over from the first wave of flying stone attacks, but at this time they became ready-made weapons for the defenders of the city, and the Wei soldiers shouted slogans, threw these stones with the greatest force, and threw them into the iron party formation under the city.
Even if he was wearing iron armor and a bronze helmet, he could prevent the rain of arrows in the sky, but he could not prevent the flying stones at the head of the city, and those who hit the head were all brains bursting, flesh and blood flying, and fell on the spot.
In the face of the successive deaths of their companions, these hoplites of the Sui army were unmoved, and the temptation of high rewards and the flashing broadswords of the former warlords of the Chinese army stimulated and forced them to climb up to the top of Liyang City.
Dozens of steps of special, widened and reinforced ladders re-tree to the head of the city, the ladder head of these ladders are with a hook, when the battlements are hooked, by the way hooked the city wall battlements, even if it is two steel forks, it is difficult to push it off the city wall at once, and the Sui army hoplites under the city are holding the round cards on their arms, biting the big knife, shouting the trumpet, and crawling towards the city head in an orderly manner.
Seeing that the Sui army was going up with a shield, and the archers of the Sui army under the city were still suppressing the Wei army at the head of the city, causing the Wei army's counterattack to pay a lot of casualties every time, Xu Shiji ordered with hatred: "Shangjin Tang, pour it on me!" ”
Hearing the order, several women and children in Liyang City, who had been waiting under the city for a long time, carried a pot, and more than a dozen large pots of hot, boiled dung juice, that is, golden soup boiling oil, were carried to the city, and a foul smell followed. Then, these women and children directly threw the entire big iron pot, together with dozens of catties of hot gold soup in the pot, directly down the city and poured it on the Sui army hoplites who were attacking the city.
"Hiss~!"
"Ahh~!"
"This damn kills a thousand knives!"
More than a dozen pots of golden soup were poured down at the same time, and there were bursts of creepy screams under the city, no matter how strong the protection was, no matter how hard the armor was, it was impossible to prevent this kind of boiling oil attack, more than 100 ironclad infantry poured these golden soup all over their heads, and the hands, faces, necks, etc., which the iron armor could not protect, suddenly festered, and some people even burst out of their eyes, and rolled around on the ground, screaming miserably, and even brought down a lot of their companions around them. The originally neat and orderly Sui army's offensive phalanx also had a little chaos.
Seeing that the hoplites had successfully advanced to the city, Dugu Sheng ordered loudly: "Archers, press on me, twenty rounds of rapid fire, regardless of enemy and me, clean the city for me!" ”
At the same time, Laihu'er, who was supervising the battle in the rear, also ordered in unison: "Lord He, move your catapult forward for me and shoot all the stones!" Even if it's on the shoulders of the infantry, give me 100% of the city! ”
