Two thousand crossbowmen of the Nanyang army with hand shields and crossbows climbed the two well railings respectively, and they had only one task, to suppress the Yangzhou army on the stone city as much as possible, and reduce the pressure on Nanyang when he used the cloud ladder to climb the city.

A total of 4,000 people from the first and second schools of Nanyang Qingbu were divided into 2o echelons, each echelon was centered on a cloud ladder, and swooped down on the stone city wall with great momentum.

After three rounds of fighting in the first half of the day, He Xian basically exhausted the archers of the Yangzhou army, but there were many weapons to defend the city, and bows and arrows were only one of the more threatening ones. In addition to bows and arrows, there are also means of wood, rolling stones, gold juice and so on.

Zhang Shi was very well prepared, stockpiled a lot of sassal wood and rolling stones, and even specially built a cauldron for boiling gold juice. But the sad thing is that because of the well fence and the existence of thousands of repeaters, the Yangzhou army is struggling on the city wall. The young people of Jiashi City didn't dare to move these city-defending materials to the city, and whoever went up would die. The special cauldron could only stay alone in the open space above the city wall, and the soldiers and civilians of Jiashi City did not even have a chance to set it up, let alone use it to make gold juice. The Nanyang army shot crossbow arrows at a frequency of not asking for money, suppressing all the people who were active in Jiashi City. War, sure enough, is more rich than who!

The twenty ladders of the Nanyang Army leaned against the city wall and were about to start climbing the city!

Zhang Shi knew that this was his last chance, so he personally walked out of the bunker to command the battle surrounded by his personal guards. Under the encouragement of Zhang Shi, the Yangzhou soldiers began to carry those sassal trees and other objects to the city wall with flying crossbow arrows.

Casualties of the Nanyang Army inevitably appeared. It's hard to dodge from a narrow ladder, and for most soldiers, it's a matter of probability. Perhaps, by climbing to the top of the city as quickly as possible, this extremely passive state can be reversed. But above the city, thousands of enemies are sharpening their swords. On the battlefield, there is no safe place at all. Only by forging ahead, crushing the enemy in the shortest possible time, and ending the battle, can we usher in true security.

The Nanyang Army is desperate, and the Yangzhou Army is also desperate. Defending the city to such a grievance, Zhang Shi looked at the ancient and modern times, and it was really unheard of. Every attack of the Yangzhou army had to cost its lives, which was the deadliest blow to morale. Such a counterattack will never last. Zhang Shi knew, and the county lieutenant knew it. The only way is to wait for the Nanyang army to attack the city wall, and use the opportunity of the melee to make the crossbow arrows lose their power. It's just that in that case, the Yangzhou army will lose the biggest advantage of the city wall. The rest is hand-to-hand combat with real knives and guns. Can the Yangzhou soldiers drive the Nanyang soldiers off the city wall in a short battle?

"Lord, the Yangzhou army is resisting very fiercely at the head of the city, and the last general is willing to lead the guards to the city!"

The Nanyang army was overwhelmed in the previous rounds of battles, and the Yangzhou army had almost no power to parry, but in the final link of ascending the city, it finally encountered stubborn resistance. Zhao Yun saw that above the city, the people of the two schools in Nanyang could not open the situation for a long time, and he was a little anxious, so he took the initiative to ask for battle.

"Zilong, don't worry! In a small town like Jiashi, it's not the turn of a general like you! Appropriate bloodshed and sacrifice are also good things for our army, which can enhance our army's ability to resist setbacks. There are countless fortified cities in the world, but not all of them are as easy to conquer as the Stone City! He Xian comforted Zhao Yun in his mouth, but his heart was not relaxed at all. Although Yuan Shu was as unbearable as expected, the Yangzhou army was much more resilient than expected. In other words, the Nanyang Army was not so strong that the Yangzhou Army was about to collapse at the touch of a button. For Ho Xian, this is also a warning.

Yuan Shu's Yangzhou army can have such combat power, and Cao Cao, who has a stronger ability to command troops, what is the combat power of the Qingzhou soldiers under his command? What should be the level of combat power of the Jizhou soldiers and the Jizhou soldiers under the command of Yuan Shao, who occupied the two states of Ji and the two states? In the past few years, He Xian has been exhibiting and becoming stronger, and the other princes have not been idle!

"Siege engines are out! After the city was broken, the heavy infantry followed! "He Xian issued the fifth and last military order for the Jiaoshi offensive and defensive battle!

The siege vehicle of the Nanyang Army is made of pure solid wood, with a total of six wheels in the front and rear. The overall structure resembles a pointed wooden house and is exceptionally sturdy. The canopy of the spire can be used to protect the soldiers in the siege engine from arrows, sandalwood, rolling stones, and gold juice from the walls above the walls. The outside of the roof was covered with a layer of cowhide, and it was poured with wet earth to protect against enemy fire. Directly in the center of the siege vehicle was a thick log, suspended from a beam with iron chains. The log has a metal cap at the rear end and a metal head at the front. The metal head is made in the shape of a sheep's head, which is called a battering ram. During the siege of the city, the soldiers in the siege vehicle grabbed the battering ram and moved backwards and slammed into the city gate, relying on inertia and kinetic energy to destroy the city gate or the latch structure behind the gate.

In He Xian's original plan, he was not ready to dispatch siege vehicles. He felt that the negative earth cart and the well fence were enough to take down the small city of Jiashi. Facts have proved that He Xian still underestimated the determination of Jiashi City. In other words, he underestimated the determination of the county commander Zhang Shi.

Seeing the siege vehicles coming, Zhang Shi handed over the command of the city head to the county lieutenant, personally led a thousand Yangzhou elites to the city, brandished knives and guns and forcibly ordered the young men of Jiashi City to transport wood and rolling stones to block the city gate, in an attempt to completely block the passage.

"Knock~Knock~Knock~" After three violent impacts from the battering ram, the leader of the stone gate latch could not withstand the huge force and broke off. Behind the city gate, Zhang Shi had not yet completed the blocking, and the battering ram continued to exert force, and after hitting the city gate, it forcibly opened a passage that could accommodate two people.

"Nanyang is stepping forward! Chop! Chop! Chop! After the siege vehicle completed its mission, it quickly retreated, and all the space was given to the heavy infantry who followed behind. After the heavy infantry passed through the doorway, they brandished their swords and fought a bloody battle with the Yangzhou army.

After seeing Nanyang's heavy horse slashing sword, the young Zhuang of Jiashi City chose to turn around and run away after cutting off a young man with just one sword. Even if Zhang Shi commanded the Yangzhou sergeants to add swords and guns to them, he couldn't resist their determination to flee. Even if they died, they didn't want to be cut in half by that giant sword. After Zhang Shi blocked it for a short time, he felt that these young men were hopeless, pulled out the sword on his waist, and commanded the Yangzhou army to rush into the door hole and fight a decisive battle with Nanyang. The door opening is narrow, and it is not conducive to the full power of the sword. The heavy infantry used the horse sword as a spear, picking, stabbing, and sweeping, and the county commander Zhang Shi was in the chaos, and was swept by the sword of the horse sword, and his head was cut off, and the red blood and white brain pulp flowed all over the ground.
