Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Siege

One after another, horses neighed across the field, the sky burned like fire, and the clouds were so low that they seemed to be about to weigh down on the head of the eldest son.

On the tower of the city, the warrior's trembling armor was like the sky collapsing, the north wind whimpered, and it was as tight as a burst, and the eldest son city was like a dry well.

Woo woo woo ~ , the horns in the continuous camp outside the city.

"The Montenegrin army is attacking the city!" A warning flag was raised on the arrow tower.

Looking from the battlement, the Black Mountain Army lined up in a horizontal line walked out of the barracks, and after the whole team, they began to advance slowly, and at the forefront was a column of sword and shield soldiers holding shields high, responsible for resisting the arrows on the city.

Behind the sword and shield soldiers was a huge rushing cart, pushed forward by five soldiers, responsible for ramming the city gates, and then behind them were countless crossbowmen, behind whom there were three phalanxes of daring to die, each holding a steel knife, fierce and vicious.

They were moving slowly, as if they were a sluggish beast that was slowly accumulating its charge.

"Archers prepare, fire oil second." Hao Shao ascended the city tower, with an ordinary and ordinary face that was not shocked, he looked back at the soldiers on the city tower who were about to splash fire oil, and immediately issued a military order.

Under the personal supervision of Hao Shao, the defense work was carried out in an orderly manner, with fireoil, rolling stones, and sassaloes piled up like mountains, and the archers opened their bows and arrows one after another, aiming at the Black Mountain army surrounded by ants.

As soon as the drums of the Chinese army sounded, the charged giant beast finally began to rush forward, and with the roar that shook the four fields, the Black Mountain army began to attack the city.

Hao Shao's eyes were as dark as a deep well, and the soldiers on the city tower turned their heads to look at him, and without the order of the commander, they did not dare to attack privately.

The Montenegrin army is getting closer and closer, like a tide sweeping the shore, majestic and unstoppable.

"Attack!" Hao Shao's hand finally split, countless arrows screamed off the string, and the arrow cloud rose from the city wall, sliding in the air for a distance, and then quickly caged the front army of the Black Mountain Army attacking the city.

"Defense!" The sound of the military drum in the Montenegrin army changed suddenly, the command flag on the platform was rolled, and the front formation sounded in unison, and all the sword and shield soldiers besieging the city were half-kneeling, and the heavy shield that was more than one person high was raised obliquely above their heads.

The arrows made a dull sound on the shield, screams and blood splashed through the cracks, and someone fell, and someone immediately made up for it.

"Stop!" As soon as Hao Meng's hand was raised, the archers immediately stopped firing arrows, and then hundreds of crossbow carts were erected at the mouth of the battlement.

The defenders mounted their arm-sized bolts on the ballista carts and aimed at the Montenegrin army forming the shield array.

"Put!"

The huge crossbow arrows came out of the string, and the sound of screaming through the air made the scalp tingle, and the siege of the Black Mountain Army looked in horror at the crossbow arrows spinning in the air, and let out a terrible scream.

The phalanx that formed the shield array was easily broken by the giant crossbow, and gradually began to be messy, as soon as Hao Shao's hand was raised, the archers on the city tower put the arrows into the oil pot one after another, and then ignited them, and finally took aim.

"Put!" Hao Shao's hand split, 10,000 hard bows were shocked, 10,000 rockets pierced the sky, and the bright red fire pointed directly at the Black Mountain military formation, bringing the news of death.

"The first batch of rockets has not yet landed, the second group of crossbowmen shoots arrows, and the first group of crossbowmen load their arrows and prepare.

In this way, the sword and shield soldiers of the Montenegrin army have already suffered more than half of the casualties, but despite this, there are still half of the Montenegrin army forming a sea of long shields, stubbornly covering the rushing cars and building cars to advance towards the city tower.

The Chinese army of Montenegro sounded a war drum, and the advancing sword and shield soldiers retreated, and one after another chariots were pushed out of the shield array and rushed towards the moat.

"Catapult!" Hao Shao's eyes lit up, and the catapult on the head of the city was launched violently, and the boulder was thrown out with a roar, falling towards the attacking Black Mountain Army.

The boulder smashed into the chariot, splashed the stump of sawdust, and then rolled and smashed into the Montenegrin army, accompanied by one scream after another, and some people were smashed into meat cakes by the boulder, unrecognizable.

Zhang Yan clasped the sword at his waist, turned his head and asked, "Who is the general who defends the city?" ”

Someone replied: "Hanoi Hao Shao!" ”

"Hao Shao?" He hadn't heard of this name, he only knew that he was the new Shangdang Taishou, Zhang Yanhu's eyes jumped with anger: "Order the sons and daughters to step up the attack, and at the same time contact the families in the city and ask them when to start." ”

"No!" There were sentinels and fine horses who made a promise and rode their horses away from the Chinese army.

Under the city of the eldest son, the offensive of the Montenegrin army was in full swing, and after a mediocre death, someone finally crossed the moat and put the cloud ladder at the head of the city of the eldest son.

At this moment, the truly tragic battle began.

The ladder leaned against the city wall, countless soldiers and ants attached to it, the catapults and arrow arrays of the Black Mountain Army were launched at the same time, and countless stones and arrows swept away the battlements of the state army guarding the head of the city to cover the soldiers who climbed the city.

The boulder smashed into the battlement, the blue brick rammed earth scattered and splashed, the arrow broke through the fragile human body, the air rose with blood mist, one person fell on the battlement, and the other immediately filled the position.

In the face of flying stones like waterfalls and arrows like rain, Hao Shao stood still, and occasionally there were arrows and boulders whistling, but he just squatted lightly and easily dodged.

The soldiers defending the city saw that the lord would be like this, and they were not in the wilderness, and under the command of Hao Shao, rolling wood and grinding disc-like stones fell from the mouth of the battlement.

The ladder was broken at the waist, a series of soldiers fell from the sky, the ladder was pushed away by a hooksaw, and the soldiers were blown down by the wind like a wheat stalk full of ants.

More and more people died under the city tower, and Hao Shao ordered again: "Fire oil, boiling water!" ”

With Hao Shao's order, some soldiers had already picked up the boiling oil pot and poured it down bucket by bucket.

In an instant, a scorching liquid spilled through the air, and once the skin was touched, a puff of green smoke rose from the skin, and the air was filled with wails, blood, and the smell of burnt flesh.

The whole battlefield is like a pot of boiling oil, the ground is covered with tinder, and the Montenegrin army is welcoming death one after another.

The method of siege is a last resort, unless this city is an extremely important strategic location, and the eldest son is obviously that as long as he occupies the eldest son, he can use the eldest son as a support point to annex the entire Shangdang.

Zhang Yan understands, and Hao Meng also understands.

Seeing the mountains piling up under the city, Hao Meng stretched out his hand to test the direction of the wind, and after learning that it was a northeast wind, he decisively issued a military order: "Ignite!" ”

The soldiers defending the city threw down their torches, and the flames ignited the oil and tinder, and the city tower immediately burned into a sea of fire, and the corpses emitted black smoke and emitted a foul smell.

At this moment, a northeast wind whistled, and the fire spread rapidly, sweeping along the siege of the Black Mountain Army, with ladders, rushing cars, and building cars.

Pity the Montenegrin army who were hiding in the building car and preparing to attack the city were burned alive, and the desperate cry made everyone's hearts furious.

Some soldiers began to retreat like a tidal wave against the commander of the war, and even if the commander cut down some timid soldiers, he could not stop the fleeing soldiers.

Zhang Yan hesitated, her hand tightly clasped the reins, her brows were loose and tight, as if she was struggling with the entanglement and contradiction in her heart.

"Withdraw" he finally gave the order to retreat.

As soon as the order flag sounded, the sound of the Chinese army's drums suddenly changed, and the soldiers besieging the city stopped attacking the city one after another, and escaped from the fire as if they had been amnestied.
