In addition to leading the water of the Min River into the moat, Fuzhou City can be described as a city in the city, and there is an urn city outside the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Bao Xiu let Li Hongyi, who had led troops to support Fuzhou, know the structure of Fuzhou City, so he wanted to go to the top of the city with one blow and crush the confidence of the Tang army.

Hundreds of ladders were lifted by the soldiers, and after a few trotting steps, the soldiers became faster and faster, and soon they were only a hundred paces away from the city wall. The more than 100 defenders at the head of the city were very nervous, and they took out their bows and arrows and prepared for a fierce battle.

The soldiers who kept vigil tonight were the soldiers brought by Yang Lian from Jinling, all of them were one in a hundred, and they were skilled in bows and horses. Seeing that the enemy made an attacking posture, under the leadership of the team, he drew the bowstring and aimed it at the outside of the city.

As the distance got closer, beads of sweat dripped from the shooter's face, and many people were very nervous. There were so many enemies that suddenly appeared that more than a hundred people could not hold it at all, and just as the enemy was about to enter the firing range, the soldiers patrolling the city received news that twenty or thirty people had arrived. However, the number of people is still at a disadvantage.

Just as Wu Yuejun was charging, Bao Xiurang sneered and asked people to put up the flag. The flag of Wu Yueguo fluttered in the wind, and there was also a banner with a big "Bao" character on it. Bao Xiurang wanted to use Wu Yueguo's momentum to tell the inner response in the city that Wu Yueguo's army had come!

"Shoot!" At this time, the defenders on the city wall saw that the enemy had entered the firing range, and the team immediately shouted and ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows. The arrows shot by more than 100 people were not dense, even if these soldiers were skilled in bows and horses, they did little damage to the large number of Wu Yue soldiers. Wu Yueguo's sword and shield soldiers stepped forward and raised their wooden shields to block the front.

"Snatch and snatch!" The arrow feathers hit the wooden shield, except for a few nailed to the wooden shield, most of the others fell to the ground, and the end of the strong crossbow could not wear Lu Min. Seeing this, the morale of Wu Yueguo's soldiers was greatly boosted, and they rushed forward with shouts.

On this section of the city wall that is more than 700 steps long, the defenders are very scattered, but fortunately, Wu Yue has insufficient ladders and relatively concentrated positions, so most of the Tang troops leaned near the city gate and concentrated their shooting. After a few rounds of arrow rain, the damage to Wu Yuejun's army was not great, and only a few unlucky soldiers were shot and injured, and they could not continue to charge.

The Tang army did not panic, still shooting, as the distance got closer and closer, the lethality became stronger and stronger, and the casualties of Wu Yuebing began to expand, but at this time, the crossbowmen in Wu Yue's army also began to fight back, and for a while, arrows flew sideways in mid-air, and from time to time someone was hit by an arrow, screaming and falling.

Wu Yuebing's counterattack suppressed the defenders' offensive to a certain extent, and more soldiers increased their speed and approached the moat. Fuzhou City takes advantage of the water conservancy topography, and the moat is wide and deep. Wu Yuebing arrived at the edge of the moat, put the ladder on the moat, and prepared to force the moat.

The cloud ladder was erected on the moat, and the soldiers of Wu Yueguo braved the arrow feathers to cross over, and from time to time someone fell down and fell in the moat, the river water was cold, especially in the early morning when it was the coldest time, the clothes and armor were soaked by the river water, and the soldiers who fell into the water struggled for a while, and their clothes became heavier and heavier, and gradually sank into the water.

Most of the Wu Yue soldiers rushed to the city wall, then erected a ladder and struggled to climb towards the city wall. At this time, the defenders gave up their bows and arrows, drew their long knives, took out their spears, and began hand-to-hand combat with Wu Yuejun. Some of the defenders lifted the stones and threw them with all their might, the huge stones whistled down with the sound of the wind, and some of the Wu Yuejun, who were climbing up, did not have time to dodge, and happened to be smashed into the front door, and fell down with a scream. Although some of them dodged, the ladder was smashed with a leg and immediately leaned to the side, and some soldiers suddenly stood unsteadily and almost fell. Some were lucky enough to escape, stood firm, and continued to climb upwards.

"Kill." Almost at the same time, the commanders of the two armies let out a shout, and the soldiers of both sides fought forward desperately. The defenders were divided into two or threes, one with a sword and a gun, while the other lifted the rocks and threw them downward.

"Don't be afraid, climb up!" One of the heads of Wu Yuejun shouted loudly, there are not many defenders on the city, as long as the city can be occupied, Fuzhou City will be taken. The soldiers also knew this principle, and they climbed up without hesitation. The robes around them screamed and fell, but they couldn't shake their faith in the slightest.

After paying more than 20 casualties, finally, a Wu Yue soldier climbed the city wall, he quickly took out a blade from his mouth, and used his body to block in front of the cloud ladder behind him, creating conditions for Pao Ze to climb the city. When Tang Jun saw someone climbing up, he immediately swung his knife and killed him.

"Bell!" The two of them collided with each other, and the shock made both of them numb, but neither of them dared to be careless in the slightest, and continued to fight desperately.

In the distance, Bao Xiurang saw someone climbing the city wall, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted: "Drum cheering!" "It was a sneak attack just now, and now it has reached the top of the city, giving the enemy the greatest blow, and this matter can greatly boost morale and give the enemy the greatest blow.

When the Wuyue soldiers heard this, the drummers beat the war drums vigorously, and suddenly, the drums rumbled, spreading in all directions, and the birds and finches that had not risen in the early morning were awakened and hovered in mid-air.

Yang Lian received the news, he didn't have time to wash, he hurriedly wiped his face, put on his armor, and just walked out of the Jiedu Embassy, Chen Tie had already brought the war horse. Yang Lian turned over and got on his horse and hurried towards the north of the city, the crisp and rapid sound of horses' hooves resounded in the street, and many people heard the sound, and couldn't help but probe their brains to see what was happening outside the house?

When the people saw a group of knights roaring by, they couldn't help but retract their necks, these years, the soldier is the uncle, not to mention the uncle who rides a horse, he can't be provoked.

When Yang Lian rushed to the north of the city, in the Wangshan camp, brothers Zhang Wenyi and Zhang Wenying had already received news that the two were in good health, and after being selected by Yang Lian from more than 10,000 soldiers, Zhang Wenyi brothers were appointed as captains and in charge of 100 people.

When the two got the news, they quickly woke up the robe, hurriedly put on their armor, Zhang Wenyi first rushed to support with a hundred people who were in good health, Zhang Wenying continued to wake up more people, and all the soldiers who had the strength to fight went to support the north of the city.

The soldiers of the Tang Army knew that the enemy was coming to sneak attack, and they were nervous for a while, and they didn't know what to do for a while. Yang Lian rushed to the Wangshan camp and saw that the soldiers had woken up, so he hurriedly organized the soldiers to wear armor and encouraged the soldiers at the same time.

At this time, Yang Lian knew that Zhang Wenyi had led troops to support the north of the city. Zhang Wenyi's time to go was very timely, and it happened to be after Bao Xiurang gave the order, and Wu Yuejun's attack was the most ferocious. At this time, more than a dozen Wu Yue soldiers had already landed at the top of the city and were fighting with the Tang army. With such a large number of people boarding the city, as long as the entrance is guarded and more robes are allowed to ascend to the city, Fuzhou City will be in the bag.

Although Zhang Wenyi led the troops to only more than 100 people, but greatly boosted morale, seeing that there were soldiers to help, the defenders were full of energy, fought bravely, and fought with Wu Yue's army, four or five people were killed, the defenders immediately stepped forward to knock down the ladder, the Wu Yue soldiers on the ladder screamed and fell, fluttered into the moat, ate several mouthfuls of blood, fortunately picked up the shore and survived, unlucky, soon sank to the bottom of the river, can no longer get up.

"Kill, drive the enemy down!" Zhang Wenyi shouted, desperately pounced, with the sound of the wind in his hand, a Wu Yue soldier was cut in the shoulder, screamed and took a step back, just a Wu Yue soldier was climbing up to the city from the ladder, was hit by him, suddenly unstable, fell to the head of the city, and by the way knocked down the Wu Yue soldier behind him, a series of screams started, one person was pressed to the bottom, and a mouthful of blood came out of his mouth.

More than 100 people occupied the city, and under the leadership of Zhang Wenyi, a wave of counterattacks was launched, Wu Yuebing was caught off guard, several people were driven down the city, and only two or three people were struggling to hold on.

Bao Xiurang's mouth suddenly closed, his brows furrowed tightly, although he couldn't see the specific situation of the city, but judging from the performance of Wu Yuebing, many people fell into the city, obviously the defenders had reinforcements. Bao Xiurang shook his head, the reason why he did not launch a large-scale attack was because of the lack of siege equipment, more than a hundred ladders were still overstretched, ladders were needed to cross the moat, ladders were needed to climb walls, and in addition, it was necessary to consider the parts damaged by the enemy, and a hundred ladders were not enough at all.

For the sake of the surprise attack, Bao Xiurang at the expense of other aspects, if the surprise attack fails, this loss will be great. Bao Xiurang thought about it, and immediately asked five hundred soldiers to go to the top, and be sure to climb to the top of the city as soon as possible and occupy a corner of the land. Five hundred soldiers rushed over with a roar, and at this time, there were two thousand people beside Bao Xiurang.

Five hundred men rushed up, reached the edge of the moat, and crossed the river on ladders, which were not enough to cross the river. At this time, the moat was already stained red with blood, and in some places it was already full of corpses, and the stumps and severed arms were spread all over the ground, emitting a pungent smell of blood, which almost made people vomit. The five hundred reinforcements did not have time to be sad, and the soldiers who had crossed the moat quickly climbed up the ladder.

At this time, the city head, Wu Yue soldiers occupied several strongholds have been in danger, with the support of reinforcements, suddenly morale boosted, the only few remaining soldiers to hold the ladder behind them, do not let the enemy to destroy, the battle on the city has been white-hot, the lucky soldiers, as long as there is a breath there, desperately resist the enemy's attack. The bricks at the head of the city have been stained red with blood, and they will slip if they are not careful, and the sound of killing will shake the sky.

Bao Xiu let see and the city, observing the battle situation, five hundred people rushed up, due to the limitation of the ladder, so that Wu Yuejun can only concentrate on attacking a certain city wall, can not reach the advantage of numbers, Bao Xiu let a little anxious, at this time the sky has been bright, the sun has risen, the light is shining, shining on the blood-red city wall, it is very shocking. Bao Xiu let him know that it was the blood of Wu Yue's soldiers.

But Ci is not in charge of the army, Bao Xiu let him know this truth, he will never continue to attack Fuzhou City because of the dead. At this time, he wanted to have more siege equipment so that he could launch a larger area of attack. At this time, the soldiers he left behind transported more than 20 ladders, although it was not much, it was a drop in the bucket, but it was better than nothing, and Bao Xiurang quickly put the few ladders into battle.
