As the siege began, so did the counterattack on the walls. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Take the arrow..., dip the oil..., ignite..., draw the bow..., shoot!"

Pang Yan commanded at least 3,000 Shanyue archers on the city wall to shoot rockets word by word, and soon the "whoosh" rockets fell in the sky above the Zhenrong Protector People's Army that rushed to kill under the city.

Although many of the rockets were blocked by the wooden shields and wooden bridges on the heads of the Protectors, many of the large shields and wooden bridges also burned with flames, and the Protectors could only use the prepared mud and sand to splash on the wooden shields and bridges in an attempt to extinguish the fire.

But before these Dharma protectors emerged from under the big shield and wooden bridge, they were seized by the Shanyue archers on the city wall, and rockets were accurately nailed to them.

"Ah......", "Kill ......"

The Dharma Protector Army who rushed up quickly suffered a lot of casualties, some were shot to the ground, and some who were not dead rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but more Dharma Protectors still rushed forward desperately to kill.

The situation of siege warfare gradually entered a bloody state.

The siege of the city Rong Protector army with wooden shields, wooden bridges, wooden ladders to cover the body, facing the city wall shot down a rocket, striding towards the front of Yuzhang City to kill, along the way from time to time someone was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.

Many of the Shanyue soldiers on the city wall were originally from Orion and were naturally good at archery, so they shot an arrow condescendingly, which seemed to be quite accurate.

As soon as a target appeared in front of them, they could shoot a deadly rocket at the first time, so at this time, it was completely a situation where the Shanyue archers on the city wall shot the besieging city and the French Protector Army backwards.

And when the Zhenrong Protector People's Army rushed to the moat in front of Yuzhang City and erected the wooden bridge on the moat, these wooden bridges became the main target of the Yue soldiers on the city wall, and rockets quickly nailed the wooden bridges, turning these wooden bridges into fire bridges.

However, the Protector of the Dharma was indeed crazy after brainwashing, and some people ignored the rockets fired from the city, and directly carried bags of sand and fell onto the burning wooden bridge, trying to extinguish the flames, but soon they were also killed and injured by the rockets fired from the city wall.

But after some people were shot to death, their bodies also fell directly on the wooden bridge, and other injured people frantically threw themselves on the wooden bridge, drenching the lit flames with their own blood.

Then the Protector People's Army behind took the opportunity to step on the wooden bridge and cross the moat, and these thousands of people stepped on it, and those who fell on the wooden bridge basically turned into meat mud.

Then, these Protector People's Army carried wooden ladders and set up a frame on the Yuzhang City Wall.

At the bottom of the wooden ladder under the city wall, more than a dozen Dharma Protector soldiers seemed to form a tortoiseshell hard shell under the protection of the big shield, protecting them from being injured by the bows and arrows on the city wall.

Then they all used their bodies to hold down the wooden ladder, so that the other Protectors could climb the steady wooden ladder to the city wall.

At the same time, four or five thousand archers also came out on the side of the Zhenrong army, and they quickly rushed forward to the range area where the bow and arrows could attack the city wall, leaned back and drew the bow, and threw one feather arrow after another to the city wall, covering the siege of the Protector People's Army in front of the city.

"Knock..., knock..., knock! Knock..., knock..., knock knock! ”

Seeing the change in the offensive on Zhenrong's side, the command drum for the change of formation was naturally sounded in the gate tower on the city wall, and the more than 2,000 strong Shanyue soldiers who had been waiting on the city wall for a while also rushed forward.

Some of them carried a tower shield as tall as a man and two arms wide, some held spears long enough to be two meters long, some held forks made of thick wood, and some held swords, shields and axes.

Those Shanyue soldiers who were holding wide tower shields rushed to the arrow battlements of the city wall for the first time, raised the tower shield high, and built a safe area against arrow projectiles on the city wall.

Therefore, the Shanyue archers who were originally on the city wall, and the other Shanyue soldiers who rushed to the side of the city wall, hid in the safe zone of the tower shield structure one after another, and were not afraid of the feathered arrows thrown at all.

The thousands of feather arrows thrown up from the city were either "aggressive" and fell on these tower shields or on the open space of the city wall, but they did not cause much damage to the Vietnamese soldiers defending the city mountain.

This kind of projectile feathered arrow is inherently inaccurate, and only relies on area coverage to attack enemies within a certain range.

But after the city wall has been prepared, the key positions on the city wall are covered by tower shields, and the Shanyue soldiers on the city wall can still launch a counterattack against the city without being repelled from the city wall by these feather arrows.

On the city wall, it is some unlucky people who move slowly to be injured by arrows, and the vast majority of others are basically unharmed.

However, as the other Shanyue soldiers reached the city wall, many archers left from the battlements with ladder racks, making way for the Shanyue soldiers who came up behind.

So those Shanyue soldiers with supporting forks hid on the side of the arrow stacks covered by the tower shield, inserted the wooden ladders with the supporting forks in their hands, and pushed them outward, trying to overthrow these wooden ladders together with the Zhenrong Protector People's Army climbing on them.

Other Shanyue soldiers armed with spears stood on the other side of the arrow stacks covered by the tower shield, stabbed their spears into the wooden ladder, stabbed and wounded the Dharma Protector Civilians who climbed up quickly, and made them fall from the wooden ladder with a little scream.

Next to these forkmen and spearmen were five or six Shanyue soldiers armed with swords, shields and long axes, some of them helped the forks push the wooden ladders together, and some of them guarded against the Protector of the Dharma who climbed the city wall, wielding knives and axes to kill them.

Others lifted some of the rolling wooden stones that had been prepared on the city wall, pried them with thick planks, and slid them down to the edge of the city wall, each blow was enough to make the Protector Civilians piled up below scream and scream.

The Protector Army of Zhenrong Siege only brought more than 20 wooden ladders this time, so there were only more than 20 troops on the city wall to block the area where these wooden ladders were located.

As for the arrow stacks in other areas of the city wall, there were still many archers standing, and then under the cover of the arrow stacks, looking for opportunities to shoot feather arrows and rockets under the city wall.

This is the current situation of the siege, before the besieging side can climb the city wall, they can only rely on bows and arrows to damage the defenders on the city wall from a distance to cover their own siege troops.

And all the other soldiers who participated in the siege could only stand up to the various defensive means on the city wall, holding a shield in one hand to protect themselves, holding a wooden ladder in the other, biting the sword in their mouths, desperately climbing along the wooden ladder to the city wall.

But they were also like death squads, the deadliest and wounded in the siege.

From time to time, you can see the Zhurong Protector People's Army holding a wooden ladder under the city wall, and the wooden shield protecting them was smashed by the stones and stakes that fell from the city wall, and then the heads were broken and bleeding and the bones were broken.

Then the wooden ladder they were holding was pushed away by the guards on the city wall, and more than a dozen Dharma protectors who climbed on the ladder screamed in their mouths, and fell down the city together with the wooden ladder.

The wall was five or six stories high, so the Protector of the Dharma at the top of the wooden ladder fell to the ground, and those who did not fall to their deaths would break their hands and feet.

The Protector Army below, on the other hand, was no better, falling upside down on the ground and being crushed by a heavy wooden ladder, breaking bones, or being shot by archers on the city walls......
