Chapter 660: Siege! Besiege!

The outer city of Jianye was really thorough with mountain stones, and it was extremely strong, and the stone bullets of the Wei army smashed it, which was quite tickling, and did not cause substantial damage to the city wall.

However, Su Zhe's purpose in using trebuchets was not to blast through the city walls, but only to suppress the enemy's crossbowmen.

The Wei army's bridge builders, carrying one after another of the moats, quickly rushed to the moat when the enemy crossbowmen at the head of the city could not raise their heads.

In the blink of an eye, more than 40 moat bridges were erected in front of the moat, connecting the two banks.

A moat bridge, more than 20,000 sword and shield hands, quickly holding their shields high, carrying ladders across the moat bridge, into the city wall.

Their own people approached the city wall, and in order to avoid accidental injury, the trebuchet could only stop the bombardment in time.

At this time, nearly 10,000 crossbowmen quickly took up the front of the moat and launched an arrow attack on the enemy at the head of the city.

More than 10,000 sharp arrows rose into the air, dense as a wall of arrows, and shot wildly towards the enemy.

Under the suppression of the dense rain of arrows, the enemy crossbowmen still had no way to show their heads, so they could only shrink under the battlements, and let the Wei army calmly erect hundreds of cloud ladders and lean against the city wall.

As soon as the ladder was erected, tens of thousands of warriors of the Wei army's siege team poured up the ladder like a tide, and frantically swelled towards the city.

As far as the eye can see, the city wall that stretches for hundreds of steps is densely crawled with Wei soldiers, and the momentum is huge and terrifying.

At this time, Zhou Yu, who was squatting under the battlements to avoid arrows, could no longer hide, he knew that if he continued to shrink like this, the Wei army would easily climb to the top of the city and break through this fortified outer city.

Once the outer city falls, it is only a matter of time before Jianye is breached.

In desperation, Zhou Yu had to grit his teeth and jump up, draw his sword and roar: "The time has come to serve the lord, Jiangdong Erlang, it's time to protect your wives and children with your blood, and give me a desperate fight to resist the enemy!" ”

Zhou Yu's summons were extremely incendiary, but unfortunately, those Jiangdong soldiers who were demoralized and weak-willed took his encouragement as a deaf ear, and most of them still cowered under the battlements and refused to get up.

Zhou Yu was furious, and his eyes glared at Tai Shici and other generals.

The generals immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed to all parts of the city, forcing the soldiers to stand up and resist by means of coercion and threats.

"Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, what is the use of keeping you!"

Tai Shi Ci roared angrily, raised his halberd and fell, and directly beheaded a soldier who was cowering under the battlements and refused to get up.

Blood splattered, staining the faces of the soldiers on the left and right, under this bloody threat, they quickly stood up, resisted the rain of arrows of the Wei army, and began to fire back with arrows, pushing back the ladder.

Tai Shi Ci stood proudly, his eyes looked down at the black Wei army below, and gritted his teeth and said: "Su thief, you can let the horse come over, with my Tai Shi Ci here, Jianye City will never fall!" ”

The counterattack of the Koto people began.

Even if Su Zhe's attack plan had an effect, the people of Jiangdong were not paper-tied after all, and they still had some resistance.

It was with this remnant of will that they reluctantly began to fight back under the threat of Tai Shici and other generals.

Arrows rained down, knocking a famous Wei soldier to the ground.

One by one, the rocks were smashed down, and people kept being smashed in the heads, * splashing.

One by one, the sassal logs rolled down from above, and the Wei soldiers under the city were rolled into pieces piece by piece.

With a roar, the ladders were overturned, and the soldiers on the ladders were smashed to pieces, and the soldiers below who could not dodge were smashed into pulp.

For a while, the screams of one after another were endless, and the blood mist of the two soldiers rose into the air, blocking the sky above Jianye.

In less than half an hour after the siege of the city, the Wei army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and the corpses were stacked in a thick layer under the city wall, and the blood water actually soaked the moat into a pool of blood.

Relying on the height of Jianye's outer city, the Jiangdong people barely withstood the first wave of the Wei army's onslaught.

Unfortunately, the Wei army's offensive had only just begun.

Their fighting spirit was not affected in the slightest, and under the encouragement of the generals and the temptation of heavy rewards, they were not afraid of life and death, and they desperately crawled towards the city one after another.

A soldier fell, and the soldier behind him didn't say a word, but went straight up and continued to climb the city frantically.

Under the onslaught of the Wei army, which was almost frenzied, the Jiangdong army's barely mustered will to fight was finally on the verge of collapse again.

Soon, the soldiers, who had a nervous breakdown, crouched under the battlements again, crying in pain, and did not dare to get up and fight again.

The crossbowmen were also pressed to the fore, huddled under the battlements and shivered.

The soldiers of the Wei army were feverish, and the offensive became more and more fierce, like a wave of huge waves, constantly slapping the crumbling city wall towards Jianye.

Finally, after several waves of strong attacks, Wei soldiers began to break through the enemy's defenses and appeared on the head of Jianye City.

"Desperately resist the enemy, you must not retreat, and the cowardly will not be killed!" Zhou Yu waved the sword in his hand, almost yelling at the bottom of the rest.

Even, he did not hesitate to kill a soldier himself, wanting to boost morale again.

It's a pity that this time the killing is useless, and even the use of blood can no longer arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

"Breaking through Jianye-"

"Capture Zhou Yu alive—"

"Capture Sun Quan alive—"

The soldiers of the Wei army outside the city let out an earth-shaking roar, and attacked desperately like crazy.

The veteran Huang Zhong was also aroused by his ambition, and climbed the ladder with a big knife in his hand, and approached the upper end of the ladder in a few steps.

"Stop the old horseman, stop the old horseman for me—"

Tai Shi Ci in the distance saw this scene, and rushed over while shouting loudly.

The three Jiangdong soldiers jointly lifted a large stone, threw it down with great difficulty, and smashed it down after aiming at Huang Zhong's head.

As soon as Huang Zhong saw the stone smashing, he hurriedly picked up the hand shield on his back and blocked it towards the top of his head.

Click-

With a loud bang, the shield shattered in all directions, and the force of the stone hit his arm in severe pain.

"Die!"

Huang Zhong endured the severe pain, and threw the blood-stained war knife in his hand towards several of his soldiers.

Hearing only a scream, the three enemy soldiers were directly stabbed through the chest and skewered into human flesh skewers.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huang Zhong jumped up, jumped onto the battlements, and pulled out the broken sword.

Huang Zhong's old body, towering like a god of war, stood on the battlements with a blood-stained sword.

The Jiangdong soldiers around him were frightened one by one, and they didn't dare to take half a step forward.

Huang Zhong didn't care whether they dared or not, jumped off the battlements, raised his knife in his hand, and swept out.

Click-

There was another sound of broken limbs and bones, and five human heads broke off in response to the sound and flew into the air.

Huang Zhong, a veteran, plunged into the flock like a tiger and wolf, raising his knife and fell, frantically harvesting the heads of the enemy soldiers.

Huang Zhong grabbed the top of the city and seized a vacant land, and the Wei soldiers behind him took the opportunity to climb up to the top of the city one after another.

Five-person ......

Ten people......

Twenty people......

More and more Wei soldiers climbed up to the top of the city, constantly pushing the battle line outward, squeezing the enemy out step by step, and pushing the enemy out in front of the adjacent ladder.

And the Wei soldiers on the ladder, after losing the enemy's block, also took the opportunity to climb the battlements and join the killing team.

The situation has reached the most critical moment for the Jiangdong Army.

"Old horseman, Tai Shici is here, let's die!"

The enraged Tai Shi Ci finally stepped on the bloody road, broke through the crowded chaotic army, brandished the halberd in his hand, and slashed at Huang Zhong.
