Although the Thunderbolt had to be placed closer to the walls due to the weight of the rocks, it was difficult for the archers on the walls to launch a counterattack against the castle due to the threat of arrow towers and rubble.

Therefore, Zhu Wei's auxiliaries still placed the three thunderbolt stone-throwing carts in a position where they could attack the city wall, and then under the protection of the surrounding sword and shield hands, they began to launch the thunderbolt stone-throwing carts.

"Thunderbolt... Syllable... Woo......"

As the rocks were thrown to the city wall, there was a terrifying and bloody scene on the city wall, and once the defenders who were originally dense on the city wall fell on the rocks, it was like a hole appeared on the ground, and suddenly a gap appeared in the blood splash.

In the face of such a terrible attack, the defenders on the city walls could not help but look like dead apostles waiting for the judgment of fate, only to see who would be unlucky, and who would be stoned and whose bones would be gone.

However, without a military order, the defenders on the city wall did not dare to flee easily, but when they saw the falling rocks flying in the air, they often had no chance to dodge.

In the face of the repeated attacks on the city wall by three different siege equipment of Zhu Wei's army, Liu Xun's defenders on the wall of Anhui County had no intention of counterattacking for a while.

At this moment, Zhu Wei's army did not officially start to climb the siege, so the defenders on the city wall just used their shields to resist the splashing of feather arrows, crossbow arrows and gravel, and then gambled with their lives that the falling stones would not fall on them.

"Order, withdraw half of the troops to the place where the rocks fall in time! Let the rest of the soldiers spread out on the walls! ”

Liu Xun saw that the defenders on his city wall were so passive, so he could only send out such a military order, so as to reduce the number of defenders on the city wall, but also allow some soldiers to avoid the bombardment of falling rocks.

Nor will it be so that every falling rock can take the life of one or two defenders.

Although this kind of falling rock can only kill one or two defenders at a time, in fact, compared to the number of three or four thousand defenders on the city wall, it is not very lethal, but the main reason is that the psychological deterrent is too terrible.

No one can face such a situation of being smashed into pieces by rocks at any time, so Liu Xun must also deal with it.

Of course, now that he is really facing the falling rocks thrown by the thunderbolt catapult, Liu Xun also thought of a way to deal with it, that is, to disperse the soldiers on the city wall as much as possible, so that every falling stone will not hit people.

As long as the falling rocks will smash into the air, then this threat is a little less.

At that moment, the soldiers on the city wall also seemed to have received an order to be released, and quickly moved, some of the soldiers retreated to the wall of the urn city in the rear, and the other soldiers also leaned against the arrow battlements of the city wall to dodge the attacks of falling stones, gravel and arrows.

This really made the rocks thrown by the thunderbolt throw up fail again and again, but they smashed holes in the city wall, but they did not kill many more soldiers.

However, all this was also seen by Sun Quan, who was standing on a siege arrow tower outside the city wall, so he sent a signal down, and Pang Yan, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai below immediately sent military orders to the soldiers they were bringing.

Among the nearly 20,000 soldiers gathered in front of the city of Anhui County, there were 5 or 6,000 soldiers, divided into a shield army formation of about 2 or 300 people, carrying ladders to attack the city, and rushed towards the direction of the city wall of Anhui County.

"Attack, attack!"

When Liu Xun's soldiers on the city wall saw this scene, many people hurriedly shouted in their mouths, beckoning their companions scattered around to come up and prepare to defend the city, and for a while, they were also preparing to defend the city on the city wall.

However, the soldiers only rushed to the front, but did not climb up, but first made a noise under the city, and after attracting the defenders of the city wall to gather, they took a few steps back to give way to a safe distance.

As a result, the defenders on the city wall were busy preparing to defend the city, but they gave the archers on the siege arrow tower a chance, and for a while, feather arrows and crossbow arrows were fired indiscriminately, and hundreds of defenders on the city wall were killed and wounded.

At the same time, the rubble that was thrown up also broke the head of many soldiers and bleed, and many falling stones fell into the defenders gathered together, killing and injuring many people again and again.

Seeing that the Zhu Wei soldiers under the city were just shouting but not attacking the city, the defenders in the city naturally knew that they had been fooled, and they couldn't help but curse angrily in their mouths.

There were also some archers who angrily shot arrows downward, but the Zhu guards below used large and small shields to form a shield array, but they also protected themselves very well, and all the feather arrows fell on the shield the size of a tortoiseshell, and soon slid to the side again.

In this way, it made the defenders of the city a little uncomfortable.

They did not dare to relax their dodge of arrows, gravel and falling rocks, which might find an opportunity for Zhu Wei's army under the city to attack the city at any time, but they did not dare to easily pile up piles, if they attracted falling rocks, they would kill themselves.

Of course, at this moment, it is not up to ordinary Liu Xun's soldiers to call the shots, so under the command of some military marquis-level petty officers, these city guards can only carry the attack on the city wall, and prepare to defend the enemy army at any time by the city wall.

As a result, Zhu Wei's army has been clamoring to attract the attention of the soldiers on the city wall under the city wall, but it has not really launched an attack, and the Liu Xun defenders on the city wall have been killed or injured by the arrows on the siege arrow tower.

This process continued for a while, and it was finally time for the thunderbolt trucks to stop for maintenance.

Therefore, under the orders of Pang Yan, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai in the rear, the soldiers in front finally rushed to the front of the city wall, and then officially started the attack on the city.

"Rush! Kill! ”

Although in the high-level planning of Zhu Wei's side, today's battle was just for a feint, but the ordinary soldiers did not know such a plan, so under the urging of officers such as the rear military marquis and the tun commander, these siege soldiers really began to desperately attack the city.

A series of siege ladders were attached to the city wall, and then a dozen strong soldiers below protected them with large shields, and then used their bodies to resist the ladders so that they would not be easily pushed away by the defenders on the city wall.

Some of the brave soldiers of the rank of soldiers immediately rushed to the ladder and jumped over, and soon one by one the soldiers bit the ring-headed knife in their mouths, holding a double-arc hand shield in their left hand, and grasping the handrail of the ladder frame in their right hand, and quickly climbed along the siege ladder to the city wall.

"Coming, coming, don't let them rush up!" "Smash the rocks and let them taste it!" "Let's move wood!" ”

For a while, Liu Xun's guards on the city wall also seemed to have a place to vent, before they could only be beaten but had no way back, but now they can finally find a place to vent.

As a result, all kinds of stones and rolling logs fell from the city wall one after another, and some people stabbed the siege soldiers of Zhu Wei who rushed up with spears and long ges, and stabbed the soldiers who climbed down from the city wall one by one......
