This is a trivial matter, but sometimes because of the mistakes in the front and back, it is easy to cause a certain side of the large siege equipment that was originally moving forward steadily and smoothly to lose its landing, and then naturally collapse and fall without suspense, such a result requires the lives of some coalition soldiers to pay, and it is still crushed to death by these giant siege weapons, and before death, you have to cry and cry for a while, which can be regarded as a more tragic way to die.

At this time, the soldiers of the same army around him did not dare to stop for this, even if they endured the painful wailing of their comrades who had eaten and drank together in their ears, they did not dare to stay or turn back, after all, there were still military orders in their bodies, since they had set foot on this road at the beginning, they had no choice but to continue to rush forward and finally complete the task of breaking through the city.

In addition, the large trebuchets on the upper floor of the east city of Xingyang are not only placed there to play a deterrent role, although there are defects such as slow movement, complex filling, and difficult aiming, but when they are placed to deal with large targets such as siege equipment, these defects will be well covered, and then produce great power.

The sound of splintering and crumbling was incessant, and the wooden structure had determined that these things could hardly withstand the powerful blows of harder objects, and the crumbling wooden strips, wooden blocks, or some combined tools of the Celestial Maiden scattered flowers scattered from the sky and fell into the marching army. It will also cause a lot of casualties, which can be described as an unwarranted disaster.

Of course, the offensive of Dong Zhuojun, the head of Xingyang City, is fierce, especially this round of shooting that does not seem to have an end can be said to give full play to the skillful characteristics of their bow and horse, and the bow and arrow that covers the sky and the sun are daunting, except for Lu Bu who is riding on the red rabbit horse, no one dares not to take it seriously, not to mention that Lu Bu is only on the surface, but he still maintains enough caution; But there are no absolutes in the world, and there are still some fish that have broken through this fierce layer of defense and entered the core area.

There is a water source near Xingyang City. It was dug out and circled around the city to become a moat. After Xu Huang's excavation for a period of time, the width of this moat is now eight or nine feet wide, which may not be anything to Lu Bu, who has the benefits of Chi Su. As long as the red dumper jumps. Maybe it's over. But that doesn't mean everyone else can do the same.

The last time the coalition invaded Xingyang, this moat didn't play much of a role, after all, the coalition army's strategy at that time was to combine the inside and the outside. Since it is difficult to attack from the outside, start from the inside, knowing that the strongest fortresses are often breached from the inside; But now they are no longer facing Yang Feng's straw bag, but Xu Huang, and with the previous incident, Xu Huang attaches great importance to the safety of himself and his subordinate soldiers, as well as the problems of spies in the city, and strictly scrutinizes them, even if the people who are mixed in with the alliance army, it is difficult to do anything, which also forces them to attack from the outside.

Therefore, this moat naturally became a stumbling block to the advance of the Alliance soldiers who had finally broken through the rain of arrows and siege equipment, and it seemed to be a little insurmountable.

At this time, Lu Bu, who had been at the forefront of the alliance army, could not turn a blind eye to this, but it was obvious that it was impossible for the people in the city to lower the drawbridge and let them pass through the moat, so they had to find another way.

However, this moat is only an obstacle to the prepared coalition forces, that is, the collision wood cannot play a role, but the alliance army has already prepared a cloud ladder with enough distance, from this end to that end, and then erected on the top of the city, the only concern is how to prevent the enemy troops on the city tower to make stumbling blocks, they want to push the ladder down without much effort, and the alliance soldiers at this end will not have the slightest way.

Sure enough, I saw a series of planes marching through the rain of arrows to the moat, preparing to put the ladder up the city tower, but under the obstruction of the defenders of the city, it never succeeded.

Even if one or two ladders were built once in a while, when the soldiers tried to climb up the castle tower through the guò ladder, they were blocked by bows and arrows, gravel and even boiling oil, and it was difficult to climb one more step upward, let alone climb the tower.

At this time, the vast position on the upper floor of Xingyang City was filled with Dong Zhuojun defending the city, and under Xu Huang's overall arrangement, they did not appear crowded, but divided into three large blocks, the front one was dedicated to blocking the enemy army who tried to use the cloud ladder to reach the city, and the "weapons" used in the hands of these people were the most diverse, freshly boiled oil, stones and wooden blocks of different sizes, as well as spears, broadswords, etc.; The middle ones are mostly archers, these people are responsible for long-range attacks, and everyone within the range of entering the east side of Xingyang City is their target, of course, some of them use rockets, and their targets are no longer people, but those wooden instruments; At the end are the people who operate the trebuchet, who have been specially trained and have been able to master it, and there are special maintenance personnel next to them to ensure that the trebuchet can always operate normally.

In such an orderly and closely connected defensive line, coupled with the various hardware facilities arranged outside, the two alliance siege vanguard armies led by Lu Bu and Xiahou Yuan suffered greatly.

Lu Bu happened to be under the city at this time, and he was also on the edge of the moat, after all, it was useless for him to jump over alone, he wanted to resist the attack from above, while frowning and thinking of a way, at this time, it happened that an arrow shot down from the city happened to graze the chain of the suspension bridge, and it could be seen that the strength of this archer was very good, and he did not fall off it, but flew a distance after passing over, and finally fell into the moat.

At this time, Lu Bu noticed that there seemed to be some hemp rope tied to something at the chain port that helped the suspension bridge, because of the angle, he couldn't see it very clearly, but he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he thought of something, and then he smiled faintly, looking at the suspension bridge, as if he was in his chest.

At this time, Xu Huang, who was standing on the top of the city tower and watching the battle, frowned, of course, this is not because of the enemy's offensive, after all, now everyone can see that their offensive is like a tide but has repeatedly failed to work, and it has been completely suppressed by their own side, and after this period of bloody battle, the shadow left in the hearts of the soldiers by the cut off the military flag and the main general was also injured and vomited blood gradually dissipated.

But Xu Huang always felt that something was wrong, as if he had ignored something.

At this moment, a cry full of anxiety and nervousness sounded unusually abruptly on the city tower at this time: "It's not good, it's not good, it's not good...... This side is a feint, the north side is a real attack, Vice General Li is urgently asking for help, and if you don't go there, it will fall......" (To be continued......
