The rolling stones and trees on the castle tower surged down, and in an instant, they smashed the heads of the soldiers on the ladder, and their brains burst and flew in all directions.

The person behind was smashed by the corpse of his comrade, and his eyes were black, and he fell down in an instant, bringing a string of them.

Gao Shun and Ma Zhong also held their shields and fought in front at this time, but the enemy's counterattack was too fierce, and the two Tang generals could only helplessly hang on the ladder, quietly waiting for the enemy's momentary gap.

In the distance, the two armies of Tang and Jin were already glued together like ants, and Yingbu, who commanded the archers instead of Cao Cao, waved his big hand to stop the armies from throwing so as not to accidentally injure the friendly troops.

Even though the Jin army briefly fell into chaos due to the sudden departure of the main general, it quickly reorganized its formation under the leadership of its own generals, and the counterattack quickly became orderly.

Rolling stones, rolling wood, and hot oil smashed on the heads of the Tang army one after another, making the 13,000 soldiers who were besieging the city unable to advance or retreat for a while.

Cao Cao saw clearly in the rear, and summoned Yingbu to give a low order: "Crossbowmen press forward, don't be afraid to enter the enemy's range, and be sure to suppress the enemy on the tower for my siege army." ”

Yingbu promised, the command flag in his hand flew, and the ten thousand archers put away their bows and arrows one after another, lowered their bodies and slowly moved forward. One soldier after another fell in the sudden dense array of arrows of the Jin army, but the surviving soldiers did not even have time to glance at their fallen comrades, and could only continue to advance amid the shouts of the soldiers.

With only about a hundred meters left behind the walls, Yingbu finally gave the order to stop, and his crossbowmen scattered and prepared to shoot freely.

Gao Shun saw the movement behind him on the ladder, and hurriedly ordered the warriors who had not yet climbed the ladder under the city wall to raise their huge shields and retreat to the front of the bow and crossbow array, as much as possible to protect the archers who were only wearing light armor.

At a distance of 100 meters, the two sides could almost see the hideous appearance of the opposite side, and the archers of the Tang Army in order to cover the foot soldiers to climb the city tower as soon as possible, they used their skills to press the bottom of the box, and shot when they saw the Jin army who dared to show their heads.

The Jin army was even more crazy, ignoring the rain of arrows poured by the Tang army, straightened their chests and opened their bows to shoot arrows, vowing to give these Tang troops who did not take them in their eyes a little color.

The battle became fierce in an instant, and the casualties on both sides further increased.

Zhang Liao led 7,000 light cavalry to wander on both wings, while always paying attention to the battle situation under the city, at this time, seeing that the army could not advance for a long time, he ordered his subordinates to take out horse bows and cooperate with the crossbowmen on the front line to put pressure on the Jin army.

Although the range of the horse bow is limited, it is better than the flexible mobility of the horse knight, who often gallops to the city and shoots an arrow, and before the enemy can react, the knight who shoots the arrow has disappeared from the range of the bow and arrow.

At the same time, the remaining thousands of soldiers of the three gates also began a feint attack under the command of their respective generals, although it was a feint, the bravery was no worse than the frontal army, and successfully nailed the defenders of the three gates to the spot, unable to help the frontal battlefield.

For the first time in seven days, they encountered such a tenacious Tang army, and the Jin army on the city tower was quite uncomfortable.

Why were we chasing these people behind the butts the day before, and today we were so pressed that we couldn't hold our heads up?

The sky slowly darkened, and the shouting and killing on the castle tower continued. Cao Cao's brows furrowed more and more, if it was completely dark, they hadn't been able to take Qingyuan, they would have to temporarily retreat and wait for dawn before continuing.

In ancient times, before the invention of night vision goggles, night blindness was everywhere, even the most elite armies, so that unless there were special circumstances, no military general would venture to choose to attack the city at night.

Cao Cao thought for a while, and called a herald behind him: "Go and tell Gao Shun, just say that the governor of Pontus asked him if the food ration in the camp is insufficient?" Do you want Pontus to double it? ”

"No!"

The herald clenched his fists and took the order, turned over and dismounted, lowered his body, dodged left and right in the overwhelming rain of arrows, and soon reached the base of the city wall unscathed.

The shouts of killing on both sides were too noisy, and the herald carefully searched under the city wall for a long time before finding Gao Shun hanging halfway up the ladder, and immediately opened his voice and shouted out Cao Cao's herald.

Is food underrationed?

Gao Shun's face turned green, and he felt that he was panicked.

Cao Dudu's words are clearly saying that the trapped camp has the best supplies in the army and enjoys the best treatment, but at the critical moment, it is as unbearable as not having a full stomach.

Gao Shun's iron-blooded warrior, how could he stand such an insult? Immediately, he threw away the giant shield on his head, waved his waist knife and split a few arrows that came from his head, and shouted loudly: "Trap the camp, withdraw the shield, go up the ladder, and charge with the general!" ”

The three thousand warriors trapped in the camp were carefully selected by Gao Shun, personally practicing day and night, regarding honor as life and death as nothing. At this time, seeing that the Lord would lead by example, they threw away their shields as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and some of them did not even block their arrows, gritted their waist knives in their teeth, and climbed like the wind with both hands.

The soldiers who were originally guarding in front of the crossbowmen couldn't care so much at this time, so they grabbed a comrade behind them, handed over their shields, drew their knives, and rushed to the ladder with a roar.

The trapped camp suddenly erupted, and the morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, and even ordinary soldiers began to follow suit, holding weapons in their mouths, freeing their hands and feet to climb hard.

Seeing this, the crossbowmen were in a hurry, and they could no longer care about how thin the armor on their bodies was, and they were bent on shooting down the Jin army who were probing on the city tower to ensure the safety of their comrades who climbed the city tower regardless of their lives.

Cao Cao said lightly, and the Tang army suddenly judged the two of them, and burst out with several times the combat strength before before, and the Jin army on the city tower was stunned, and it really made Gao Shun climb the city tower.

There are one and two, after Gao Shun, Ma Zhong also climbed up, the second general killed on the top of the city tower, and killed a bloody road for the soldiers behind, one after another Tang Army soldiers climbed up, and they didn't look back at the hand is a cut, and the two sides quickly killed red-eyed, and launched a tragic battle on the city tower.

The soldiers of the two armies were mixed together, and the crossbowmen were completely useless at the moment, so they could only retreat to the Chinese army and cheer for their comrades under the city tower.

Yingbu had long been unhappy that Gao Shun and others could meet the enemy in short combat, but he could only command the crossbowmen from afar, and at this time, seeing that the crossbowmen could finally retreat to the second line, he hurriedly asked Cao Cao to join the siege army.

Cao Cao knew Yingbu's thoughts and generously let him go. And asked Yingbu to tell Zhang Liao that although the battle had come to an end, his cavalry still should not be careless to prevent the Jin army from suddenly coming to help.

The most difficult step in a siege is to storm the towers, and once the attackers climb up and gain a foothold, the siege is won in half of the battle.

Faintly visible blood on the top of the city tower in the distance, Cao Cao looked down at his rough palm, and was a little envious of Gao Shun Yingbu, who was able to rush and kill in front.

In the melee, the difference between whether there is a master or not is gradually revealed. The same system was broken up, the officers and soldiers of the Tang army knew that the main general was under the city, and they were chaotic and orderly under the command of their respective leading generals, while the Jin army had no backbone, and the generals could not unify their opinions after talking to themselves for a long time, and the decline was gradually revealed.
