Chapter 207: Siege

The 40,000 men and horses of the Xiliang Army, under the leadership of Li Meng and Wang Fang, came to the West Gate, preparing to attack Chang'an from the West Gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gao Shun deployed 2,000 troops in each of the other three gates, leading nearly 14,000 soldiers and soldiers, distributed throughout the West Gate.

In Chang'an City, there is no shortage of grain, grass, bows and arrows, but no one expected that the Xiliang Army would invade Chang'an for a while, so the equipment to defend the city is still in the treasury and has not yet been transported.

Gao Shun rushed to the West Gate with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, the Xiliang soldiers had launched an attack, several cloud ladders were set up on Chang'an City, and there were constantly Xiliang soldiers climbing to the Chang'an city wall, but the defenders in Chang'an City were not fully prepared, and there were no bows and arrows in their hands, and the stones were resistant, so they could only watch dryly, and wait for the Xiliang soldiers to climb within the range and attack.

"Quick, quick urge, prepare bows and arrows, rolling stones, gold juice!" Gao Shun held a saber in his hand, and stood at the edge of the city with his eight hundred trapping camps, the trapping camp seemed to be another city wall, and the long knife in his hand cut out, cutting down the Xiliang soldiers who were about to climb to the city.

"Quick, take the city for me!" Li Meng, Wang Fang and the two were anxious, this siege was a surprise, in order to attack and take Chang'an, if it was delayed for a long time, the defenders inside were well prepared, and it would be difficult to take Chang'an.

The Xiliang army was attacking very urgently, and the Chang'an soldiers and horses, who did not have the equipment to defend the city, almost couldn't hold it, and let the Xiliang army climb the city tower several times.

"Get out of the way, the bow and arrows have arrived!" Several soldiers carried a bundle of bows and arrows on their backs and climbed the tower. The defenders of the city wall were excited, distributed arrows, and one by one bent their bows and arrows, and shot at the defenders of the city.

A dense rain of arrows struck, hitting many Xiliang troops, and the Xiliang troops fell to the city one after another, screaming everywhere. The pressure on the defenders on the walls was greatly reduced.

There were walls of the city, and the defenders set up iron pots, and lit a fire, and some soldiers brought dung juice and poured it into the pot, and under the fire, after a while, the foul-smelling gold juice was ready.

This gold juice has a great effect, and in medicine, it can be used as medicine. In the midst of the city's defense, the stench of gold juice poured down. Man is always in an inexplicable fear of filth. This in itself is a deterrent. If it is drenched in gold juice, not only will the skin ulcerate, but it will also be difficult to heal. If it is serious, it will basically lose its combat effectiveness and even lose its life.

Why are the besieging sides losing so much more than the defenders? This golden juice is a great weapon, killing people in disgust.

The defenders of the city covered their noses, smirked and poured the gold juice on the climbing Xiliang army.

Xiliangjun, who was crawling, only felt the unknown liquid poured on his head, and then flowed to his face, and entered his neck along the collar. A hot pain kept coming, and a foul smell poured into my nose.

Xiliangjun reached out to grab it.

"......" So, the constant cursing, screams, and panic sounded one after another, and the Xiliang army continued to fall under the city.

"Quick, give me those shields! If we don't break through Chang'an City, we will all die! Lemon shouted.

The Xiliang army reorganized the formation, held shields one by one, and climbed towards the city tower again. The Xiliang army took the shield, and with the defense, the role of the bow and arrow was much smaller. After eating the loss of gold juice, every time the Xiliang army saw the defenders pouring gold juice, they raised their shields to protect the vital points.

After several charges, the Xiliang army gained experience, the casualties were much smaller, and the pressure on the defenders of the city wall increased greatly. Although Gao Shun is a good general, he is not very proficient in defending the city, so he can only play a morale-boosting role.

The Xiliang army was in a hurry, and Gao Shun was so anxious that he constantly ordered arrows to be released, and even took the lead in overturning two ladders.

"General, they have shields, we can't shoot! How to be good! "There are not many defenders in the city who are proficient in archery, and they are already on target, and now the Xiliang army that is climbing is protected by a shield, and most of the defenders' arrows are shot on the shield, and the hit rate is extremely low. There were also Xiliang troops climbing the city wall.

"Where's the Rolling Stones? Didn't I command you to prepare the Rolling Stones? Gao Shun asked.

"General, in a hurry, how to prepare the rolling stones!"

"Tear down the house for me, and defend the city no matter what!" Gao Shun ordered in a deep voice.

The Xiliang army desperately attacked the city, the number of people was superior, and the defenders in the city were not good at defending, and for a while, the pressure on the defenders of Chang'an increased greatly.

Fortunately, the houses were everywhere, and soon some sergeants demolished the houses, brought earth, stones, beams and wood, and threw them towards the Xiliang soldiers on the ladder.

The Xiliang army attacked fiercely, and the defenders of Chang'an also resisted stubbornly under the command of Gao Shun.

"Damn!" Li Meng personally took the lead in launching a wave of offensives, which was repelled by Gao Shun, and even Li Meng's left arm was burned by gold juice, and his body emitted a foul smell, which made Wang Fang next to him pinch his nose and frown.

Li Meng held a handbag and kept washing his left arm, for fear that it would ulcerate and cause death. While asking Wang Fang, "What now?" If we can't take Chang'an, when Lu Bu comes back, we won't be able to pull it! ”

Wang Fang glanced at the more than 10,000 defenders on the city wall, gritted his teeth and said, "Did the defenders in the city concentrate all the soldiers and horses at the west gate?" Let's try it from other doors. ”

"If you divide your troops to attack, you won't be able to take Chang'an!" Li Meng shook his head when he heard this.

"Take human lives to fill in! You are here to lead 20,000 troops to attack me, drag the defenders here, and I will attack at the east gate! Wang Fang gritted his teeth and said.

"What about the brothers?" Li Meng was stunned.

Wang Fang got up and scolded angrily, "If you can't take Chang'an, we all have to die!" Then he divided 20,000 horses and hurried to the east gate, which was opposite the west gate. The east gate is the farthest from the west gate, and it will take some time to rescue the defenders of the west gate.

"Attack me, take Chang'an before tonight, and let the brothers pick the gold and silver beauties in the city!" After Wang Fang divided his troops into 20,000, there were only about 17,000 Xiliang troops left in Ximen. It was about the same strength as the Chang'an defenders of the city wall. With the same number of troops, wanting to take Chang'an City, which has high walls and thick walls, is tantamount to a fool's dream.

However, Li Meng was determined to fill it with his life, and accidentally dragged the defenders of the west gate, allowing Wang Fang, who was heading to the east gate, to break the east gate.

"Climb for me, don't let them divide their troops and go to other doors!"

Gao Shun on the city wall saw 20,000 horses heading towards the east gate, and his heart was in a hurry, there were only 2,000 soldiers and horses at the east gate, and he couldn't resist a charge of 20,000 Xiliang soldiers at all. So Gao Shun immediately ordered 7,000 troops to go to the east gate to support.

Seeing this, Li Meng under the city hurriedly ordered the whole army to storm and not give Gao Shun a chance to divide his troops to support.

Under the temptation of money and beauties, the Xiliang army attacked desperately, and the pressure on the city wall increased greatly, and for a while, there was no chance to divide the troops. If the troops are divided, the Xiliang army will attack the city tower, and when the time comes, the city wall will be white-knuckled, and Gao Shun's side will completely lose its advantage.

At this time, at the east gate, Wang Fang led 20,000 horses to the east gate, and the defenders of the east gate were only 2,000. (To be continued.) )
