Chapter 226: The Crypt Traps

With the order of Laihu'er was issued, I saw hundreds of big men rushing out of the Sui army array facing the four gates of Liyang Cangcheng, each of which launched a city car, which is a kind of nearly four zhang high, two zhang wide, three zhang long, the interior is made of wood, the outer layer is wrapped with iron or wet cowhide, and there are eight wheels and a five-story high siege tower under it. The lowest level is the soldiers who push the cart forward, and the other four layers are filled with siege soldiers and carry the fortress logs that are specially used to ram the walls.

Inside the dark wall of the city wall of Liyang Cangcheng, several sharp-eyed soldiers noticed this change in the Sui army outside the city, and immediately shouted hoarsely: "Rush the car!" The rush is coming! ”

Hearing this, Xu Gai was not surprised, his eyes were cold, and he sneered: "Hmph, it's finally here!" Tell Xu Shibi and the four guards to leave the rushing car and concentrate on dealing with the Sui army Xiaoguo who is under the siege of the city, and drive them out of the city as soon as possible! ”

Hearing this, Xu Guiying, the sister of Xu Shiji, who was in charge of the order, was stunned for a moment and asked, "Don't you use rockets to burn these rushing cars?" The height of this chariot is higher than our city walls, and if we get close to the city walls, we will have no advantage at all! ”

Xu Gai shook his head and explained: "These key parts of the rush are wrapped in iron sheets, and the outside is also covered with wet cowhide, rockets are useless!" Go ahead and give orders, don't worry so much! ”

"No!" Xu Guiying didn't say much, and retreated with her fists clenched.

At this time, the city gate of Liyang Cangcheng is a special large iron gate, extremely thick, extremely strong, and the defense is far from being comparable to ordinary wooden doors. In the past half a month, the fierce battle near this city gate has been particularly fierce, both sides of the city gate are full of all kinds of siege equipment, hundreds of corpses of soldiers on both sides, and a large number of stones of different sizes just right to block the passage of this rushing car to the city gate.

When the rushing car approached the city gate, hundreds of Xiaoguo sergeants suddenly ran out of the small square of the Sui army, in groups of two or three, one or two people raised their shields, and the remaining one well-dressed strong man ran to the obstacles in front of the city gate, shouting in unison, desperately pulling these obstacles to the side.

"Whoosh~!"

There are constantly bows and arrows shooting at these strong men who pull carts, people keep screaming and falling, and there are new wrestlers rushing out to pull carts, arrows are pouring in the direction of the city gate like raindrops, the bodies of the wrestlers and the shields of the shield bearers have been densely filled with arrows, blood is sprinkled all over the ground, and the wreckage of the rushing car that is blocked near the door hole, blocking the small square shield array to the direction of the city gate, was finally moved by the pull and belt for a distance of more than ten steps, before the small square, the passage facing the big iron gate was finally opened!

"Ou~! Europe~! Europe~! ”

There was a burst of cheers in the array of the Sui army, and the morale suddenly rose, and the physical strength of the cart skyrocketed.

The ladder on the city wall was knocked down again and again, the Wei army often worked in groups of three or two, with two or three strands of steel forks, just enough to hold the distance of the ladder extending out of the city, and easily pushed down, and the archers of the Wei army at the head of the city, most of them threw away the bows and arrows in their hands, picked up the stones everywhere around them, and smashed them down fiercely, in the face of the Sui army who climbed the ladder to the city, the bow and arrow could not play much role, rolling stones and wood, such a simple and rough smashing down, but it was more effective than anything.

The ladders were knocked down one by one, and the soldiers on the top fell or jumped down one by one, and then the people below re-erected the ladders, and the soldiers who jumped down continued to climb the next time, which seemed to be a cycle that was difficult to end, so the attitude of Lai Hu'er today was actually very clear, that is, to climb the wall as a bait, as a containment, to attract the attention of the Wei army, the real killer move, lies in this special, specially used to smash the door and climb the city!

As the passage in front of the rushing car was opened, the shield array quickly dispersed, and a huge, one zhang high, with a huge piece of towering tree trunks embraced by five or six people, appeared, the head of the Chongcheng wood was wrapped in a thick iron sheet, made into a round head of a large wooden six feet wide, pushed by a total of fifty big men on the left and right, and rushed to the gate of Liyang Cangcheng twenty steps away!

Looking at the car that was already close to the city wall of Liyang Cangcheng, Laihu'er's eyes were full of excitement, he pushed away the two guards on the left and right who supported him with shields, and prevented him from personally stepping forward, and rode out of the rear formation at high speed, leaning towards Dugusheng's front military formation, at this time, the arrows of the Wei army were not fired in the direction of this front army at all, and he didn't have to worry about his own safety, all he had to do was to get closer and see more clearly how the city gate was breached!

This time, in order to break open the gate of Liyang Cangcheng, the general eunuch He Chou urged the technical commissioners and soldiers of the Ministry of Industry to make this huge battering ram overnight, and the entire punch was inlaid with thick iron sheets, even if it was an iron gate, it would definitely not be able to withstand dozens of impacts.

Dozens of Xiaoguo soldiers with big shields in their hands and sharp blades in their mouths have climbed to the top of the rushing car, erected a thick barrier on the top of the rushing car, and took advantage of the natural height advantage of the rushing car to directly resist the swords and spears of the Wei soldiers, and forcibly pressed towards the head of the city. At the foot of the rushing car, a group of strong men surrounded by a group of strong men, who were going forward to attack Liyang Cangcheng through the rushing car.

"Hold on! If you want to live, just resist me! Seeing the rush car approaching the city, the Sui army soldiers continued to quickly climb to the city through the rushing car, Xu Shibi, whose face was covered with blood, his hair was scattered, and his helmet was knocked off.

"Boom~!"

"Bang!"

Just as Laihu'er watched the rushing car attack the gate with anticipation, suddenly a gong sounded in the direction behind the city gate, followed by a loud bang, less than twenty steps away from the city gate, the rushing car that was sticking to the city wall, suddenly disappeared from the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, a huge smoke and dust rose up, the city gate was still there, but the rushing car disappeared, only the dozens of Xiaoguo sergeants on the roof fell to the ground one by one, as if lying on the flat ground, and if you look closely, Only then did you find that only a part of the head of the entire rushing car was exposed to the ground, and the body, including the huge Chongcheng ironwood, and even the dozens of Xiaoguo soldiers inside had completely sunk into the ground and were covered in a ball of meat sauce!
