As the wooden ladder attached to the besieging side was overturned by the defenders on the city wall, the soldiers who were originally on the wooden ladder naturally fell with the wooden ladder. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Many people fell to their deaths, some broke their legs and screamed on the ground, and of course some fell directly into the moat, but they also failed to fall well.

Many people fell to the bottom of the water with gravity, but were stabbed by the bamboo stakes under the water, and after shouting and shouting in the moat a few times, they also lost their vitality, and finally the corpses rushed to the side with the water of the moat.

Only a few who are agile and jump off the ladder themselves and then hide under the large shields of their companions below can be unharmed.

But this time I avoided it, but next time I may not have such good luck.

After these siege ladders are overturned, as long as they are not broken or damaged, they will soon be lifted up by the other Guardian Civilians and set up on the city wall again, and launch a climbing attack on the city wall again.

More than 5,000 people who attacked Yuzhang City were densely piled up into several blocks under the city wall, continuously launching the attack of climbing the city, falling, continuing to climb the city, and continuing to fall.

In addition to the attacking Protector Army under the city wall and the Shanyue soldiers defending the city on the city wall, the archers of the other two sides also kept shooting feather arrows and rockets.

The archers on the side of the Zhenrong army could only shoot a dense rain of arrows at the city wall in turn, while the Shanyue archers on the city wall each chose their target to shoot feathered arrows or rockets.

Thick smoke also rose in front of Yuzhang City, as if there were demons harvesting the souls on the battlefield inside.

The wooden bridges, shields, and wooden ladders ignited by the rockets were burned and extinguished, burned again, and extinguished again, inevitably filling the city in front of the city wall with a thick smoke with the smell of barbecue, making the situation of the besieging Protector of the Dharma even more uncomfortable.

Of course, on the ground under the city wall of Yuzhang, there was already blood flowing all over the ground, and the rich bloody qi rushed straight to the city wall, but no one would care about this at this time.

The siege battle was tragic, that is, in just half an hour or so, more than 3,000 of the first batch of more than 5,000 people who attacked the city had died, and the remaining 2,000 people were a little weak and unable to work.

Some were even frightened crazy by the brutal battle, and got carried away and shouted and screamed under the city, some ran outside the protective shields, and then were shot and killed by the Shanyue archers on the city wall, and some were directly cut down by the Buddhist soldiers who supervised the formation in the army in the name of disturbing the morale of the army.

Seeing this, Zhenrong did not withdraw his troops, and as the war drums beat again in his army, with a wave of flags, another army of more than 5,000 people who protected the law rushed to the city wall with a wooden ladder.

With the wooden bridge built by the Dharma Protector Army on the moat in front, it is also a lot more convenient for these Dharma Protector Army to rush up now, and soon the bottom of Yuzhang City will be covered by a shield wall composed of thick wooden shields, as if the ground is thicker than a person out of thin air.

And under the shield wall, there are naturally more than 7,000 Dharma Protector troops before and after Zhenrong, and then the siege began again, and this time the Dharma Protector Army brought more than 20 wooden ladders, so the siege was strengthened again.

Of course, the defensive battle on the walls continued, and rocket after rocket shot downward, igniting a blaze on the shield wall below.

But soon Zhu Wei stopped such archery, in fact, the arrow battle between the two sides is also very large for the consumption of feather arrows, especially the rockets will directly destroy the arrows.

Now the rockets fired from the city walls are basically blocked by those thick wooden shields, and they don't have much effect.

As the blood flowed under the walls, many times it was only necessary to scoop up a handful of blood and mud onto the shield surface to extinguish the fire.

So there was no point in such archery, so Zhu Wei told the archers not to waste feather arrows, and asked people to bring oil and water made from pig, sheep, and cow fat, pour it under the city wall, and then use fire to ignite the hot oil.

This time the city wall suddenly burned into a sea of fire, and the oil fire flowed down the shield surface, and soon ignited the clothes of the Protector People's Army below, so that the people hiding below could not help but be confused.

Some of the oil and water even burned on the blood-stained mud floor, making it impossible to stand under the walls.

Seeing this change under the city wall, Zhenrong could only withdraw his troops in the back, let these Dharma Protectors in front of him withdraw first, and wait for the fire to weaken.

And Zhu Wei sat in the city gate tower and couldn't help but order all kinds of matters, preparing for the next siege battle.

Zhu Wei knew that Zhen Rong would never give up so easily, maybe he would find a way to prevent fire before launching an attack, so he didn't have much time to repair.

In this battle to defend the city, although Zhu Wei has made a lot of preparations based on the novels, TVs, and movies he has read, after the current actual battle, Zhu Wei still found some omissions.

For example, letting some Shanyue soldiers hold tower shields on the city wall to protect other troops, in fact, it is not necessary to waste manpower, and it can be replaced by scaffolding and nets.

In the fierce offensive and defensive battles just now, Zhu Wei remembered that he seemed to have seen the chapter of the Northern Song Dynasty resisting the Jin soldiers' defense of the city, and the siege battles recorded on it were much more intense, and it was not such a simple way to climb the wall at all.

However, in this chapter of defending the city, the Song army's means of defending the city also have a lot to learn from.

Just like the method of preventing arrows, you can build a scaffolding on the city wall, and then weave a net, so that it is like adding a roof, which can prevent the bow and arrow under the city wall from being thrown on the city wall, and even use the arrows tied on it like a straw boat borrowing arrows.

At least when the enemy does not have siege weapons such as catapults, this method can definitely restrain the enemy's ordinary feathered arrows thrown at the city wall, and even if the enemy uses rockets, it can also slow down the enemy's bow and arrow threat for a period of time.

And this kind of scaffolding is simple to build, only need to make some frames with wooden blocks or bamboo poles, only need to add a few layers of thick cloth, and then fill with some wet mud or something, and even defend against rockets.

In fact, if this kind of scaffolding is cleverly made, even if the enemy has siege equipment such as a stone truck, if the stone is thrown up, it can also use elasticity to eject the stone out of the city, or relieve the gravity of the falling rock.

Therefore, Zhu Wei thought of this just now, and he had already ordered someone to find the people to build this kind of scaffolding, and at that time, there was basically no need to worry about the throwing feather arrows of the Zhenrong archers, and he only needed to concentrate on facing the battle of Zhenrong's soldiers to climb the city.

In addition, Zhu Wei thought that he would directly use things like falling rocks and falling trees, which was actually a waste of materials to defend the city.

Now it is impossible for Zhenrong to besiege Yuzhang City for a long time, and there is no problem for the time being, but if you really encounter a strong enemy besieging the city, it should be more appropriate to use the wolf's tooth to beat the wooden pillar that can be used repeatedly, so that with the help of the lever and iron cable, it can be used again and again, and reduce the material loss of the defender.

In the end, Zhu Wei also had an idea in his mind about the method of resisting the Rong soldiers and horses to climb the city and fight, which could completely build an outer frame on the city wall.

In this way, the wooden ladder of the soldiers and horses could not be directly erected on the city wall, even if they climbed up the wooden ladder, they could not jump directly into the city wall, and there would be a distance of one or two steps from the city wall, which completely made the climbing tactics ineffective......
