Above Ren Cheng, Su Wei looked at his subordinates whose faces were pale, and couldn't help but feel angry. There is still some gap between his own subordinates and those outside the city, of course, among them, the deterrent effect of trebuchets has a great effect.

However, seeing this scene, Su Wei also felt the gap between the two sides. In fact, Su Wei also saw that the Shanyang army outside the city was not as strong as the legend. Then I thought that they were also formed by recruiting local young people after the battle with the Wuwei Army. Only then did I understand why the Sanyang Army outside the city looked a little imperfect, it seemed that the army was like a mixed formation of three parts, especially some of them seemed to be obviously surprised by the trebuchet.

This also made Su Wei understand that the reason for the crazy attack of the Shanyang army trebuchet outside the city was to deter the defenders in the city and boost the morale of the Shanyang army outside the city.

"The ladder is ready, the siege troops are ready to climb the city for melee combat!" Zhao Xun ordered in a deep voice.

A series of improvised ladders have appeared from the rear, and this is a simple ladder made during the noon break. Each soldier carrying the ladder carried a shield, and behind them were a larger number of lightly armed melee soldiers, all dressed in light armor, with horizontal swords in one hand and round shields in the other, ready to attack. At the forefront, hundreds of heavy infantry, their first line of defense against the city's counterattack.

Although the faces of these soldiers were different, they still followed the requirements of the training, and each step was carried out according to the steps that had been practiced many times. Zhao Xun waved his hand, and the herald soldiers behind him waved their flags, and the cloud ladder soldiers and city climbing soldiers who had already prepared rushed towards the city like cheetahs.

Ren Cheng Chengtou.

"Is it finally time to start taking the city? Next, it's time for us to move, and this time, see if you can still suppress us? Su Wei's face was solemn, he drew his sword, raised it high above the top, and said loudly: "Archer...... Prepare for ......"

In the sound of hurried footsteps, two thousand archers rushed to the back of the female wall, although the archers appeared here quickly, but Su Wei's face was not good-looking, because except for some of the old soldiers who looked indifferent, in the face of the tide of the enemy army outside the city, their expressions were calm and motionless, the rest were frightened, and even the left hand holding the bow was trembling slightly. Needless to say, you can see their nervousness.

"Alas...... After the whole army, there is still too little training, and too little blood! Seeing this, Su Wei could only sigh like this. These shocked faces are naturally young and strong people recruited in the whole army. This is also the reason why after the war with the Wuwei Army, the original government army suffered too much loss, which made the Wuwei Army insufficient and recruited young and strong people into the army.

However, Su Wei also knew that if this battle could be won and survived, these soldiers would quickly grow up from the brutal killing and grow into qualified veterans! However, the outcome of this battle was out of his control and out of his expectations. The Shanyang army premeditated to launch a major war, while the Yanzhou army was passively defensive, and the army was transferred east to Luzhou Mansion, which already made Su Wei feel that the prospects of the Yanzhou army were not very good.

"Kill ......" a tsunami-like cry came from outside the city. The infantry of the three or four thousand Shanyang Army lined up in an orderly formation and marched forward. More than 100 ladders were carried by the soldiers of the Shanyang Army, and they followed the heavy infantry with shields, and they were the main force to seize the city.

Zhao Xun, who was standing behind and watching the battle, did not relax at all, waved his hand again, and said: "The archers move forward, and shoot fifty steps below the city to cover the siege!" ”

Bands of archers rushed to the front of the city, forming a neat line and taking their longbows from their backs. With his bow and arrows, he began to aim at the enemy soldiers who appeared on the city.

Ren City on the city walls.

"General! The enemy's besieging forces were within 200 paces. Su Wei's side, the general said in a deep voice.

Su Wei's raised right arm seemed to be petrified, motionless, and nearly two thousand archers stared at the sword in Su Wei's hand, waiting for Su Wei's military order.

"General, the enemy's siege team has rushed within a hundred paces!"

Hearing the prompt of the general next to him, Su Wei's eyes narrowed, revealing a cold killing intent, and he waved his sword forward with his sword held high, and shouted: "Release the arrow......"

"Woo Woo ......"

Nearly 2,000 archers turned their heads, and suddenly the longbows were full, and the sharp arrows were already on the strings, and the next moment, the piercing roar was endless, and the dense arrows like locusts poured down from the city tower, ruthlessly falling into the surging siege army.

The incessant howl resounded in the sky, and although there were shields to guard it, the siege soldiers continued to fall. But they did not retreat, but continued to march forward at a rapid pace.

Seeing that the archers of the Yanzhou Mansion Army on the city wall had already begun to shoot, Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately they did not continue to wait, otherwise, the next to suffer was his own archers.

"Free fire, shoot! Hold them down for me! At the rear of the Shanyang Army's formation, the Shanyang Army's archer officer shouted sharply. At this moment, the archers on the city wall have their heads up, and they are naturally the best targets for attack. Moreover, the Shanyang Army was equipped with the bows and arrows of the Xiaoguo Army, and the bowstrings were also equipped with many ones, so they were much stronger than the bows and arrows of the Yanzhou Mansion Army on the city wall.

The bowstring sounded softly, and the arrows flew away like locusts.

Suddenly, under the city wall, the arrows of the Shanyang army also began to fly out, shooting towards the archers of the Yanzhou Mansion Army on the city wall. I don't dare to say that the arrows and arrows are all unmistakable, but they still make the Yanzhou army on the city wall suffer a lot of losses.

"Shoot, shoot at their archers! Fast! Su Wei couldn't help but look bitter when he saw the archers under the city walls, shooting at the limit of their own arrows. He knew that the arrows in the opponent's hands were not as strong as those under his command. It's not that your own bow and arrow are much worse than the opponent's. But those with excellent armor and equipment on their own side were all transported to Luzhou Mansion, after all, the Wuwei Army was the first enemy to be solved now. And here, not to mention excellent armor equipment, that is, the armor equipment needed by the soldiers to replenish it, it is difficult to get it.

"Ladder!" As the arrows on their heads dwindled, the siege party approached the foot of the city walls.

Immediately, one after another ladders were erected, and the lightly armored armor behind them carried a shield in one hand and a knife in his mouth, and quickly stepped on the ladder and climbed up like the wind.

The soldiers on the ladder also climbed to their heads at this time, took off the knives in their mouths, jumped up, jumped down from the battlements, flashed their knives, slashed left and right, and the momentum was unparalleled.

"Sword and shield soldiers, kill me, stop them for me!" The archers on both sides stopped firing, because at this point the massive arrows could no longer be effective. Not only can it not cause damage to the enemy, but it will injure one's own people by mistake.

"Kill!"

Su Wei, whose face was pale, shouted, snatched the spear of a Shanyang army infantryman, and threw it forward, the sharp spear carried a sharp roar, coldly piercing the Shanyang soldier who had just emerged from the cloud ladder. The spear was still in a castration, and flew backwards with the corpse of the other party, falling under the city.

"Rolling wood, smash me!" Su Wei roared angrily.

In an instant, the surrounding Yanzhou Mansion soldiers were all shocked by Su Wei's earth-shattering roar, and they all picked up the surrounding logs and threw them out towards the city. Later, some of the soldiers began to hold their spears against the ladder and tried to push it out of the city.

"General...... I don't think they're really attacking the city, they're using us to train their soldiers. Just when Su Wei was encouraged by the soldiers to defeat the enemy soldiers who attacked the city for the third time, the general next to him said in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Su Wei frowned and said; "What do you mean?"

"General, the subordinates observed, and began to officially attack the city until now, but in half an hour, the soldiers of the Shanyang Army outside the city were less than a thousand killed, but they took turns to change the whole army. General, these Shanyang troops were not recruited and trained after the battle with the Wuwei Army, it seems that what he said is not bad, at this moment, this Li Feng is using our counterattack to train the soldiers under his command. Every time he attacked the city, he did not let his subordinates fight for their lives, but they fought if they could, and retreated if they couldn't. You see, there was also an orderly and measured retreat between them. ”

"Bastard, this guy is ......" Su Wei opened his mouth to scold, but in the end he didn't know what to say. Eventually, he said in a muffled voice, "It's okay, they're training, and so is General Ben." I don't believe it, just with his swaying actions, he can take down the city of Ren that we guard. ”

Seeing Su Wei like this, the generals beside him secretly sighed and didn't say anything more. There were 15,000 people outside the city, and all of them were full of morale, but what about their own soldiers in the city? How many can compare to the soldiers outside the city?

Speaking of which, after the Shanyang Army recruited local young men as soldiers, the Songzhou Mansion had 10,000 Yanzhou Mansion troops and would not have much effect. In other words, it doesn't have much effect in the short term. Therefore, Xu Jie selectively forgot about them. Therefore, under the circumstance that the armor and equipment, food and grass supplies were insufficient, and the military salary could not be paid according to the quota, not many of these soldiers really went to fight to the death.

Above the tower of the eastern city, there are a thousand defenders here, and the main general is the captain of the same fruit. Originally, there was no such official position in the government army, but after Xu Jie organized the Yanzhou government army according to the guards, this Zhiguo lieutenant appeared. Below, there are two song lengths, which are a team rate.

"There is cavalry outside the city, let the whole army prepare, and report the situation to General Su immediately." Captain Zhiguo calmly looked at the cavalry roaring outside the city, and said in a deep voice.

"Five thousand cavalry! Sanyo Military ...... It's really getting started! The bad officer said secretly in his heart.

"Report ...... Returning to the captain, General Su of the south of the city issued an order to let the adults garrison the city, not lightly. A soldier hurried to report on his horse.

"What about the south of the city? I heard the sound of drums and trumpets there, is there an enemy attacking the city? Captain Zhiguo asked in a condensed voice.

"Back to my lord's words, outside the south gate, 10,000 Shanyang troops have begun to attack the south gate, and the two sides are fighting fiercely, as for how small the battle situation is, I don't know."

"Order, archers ready, whenever enemy cavalry approaches, shoot them! No one shall open the gates of the city without my military order. Captain Zhiguo ordered sharply.

"Listen, brothers in the city, open the gates quickly, for our army is already in operation in the south of the city. If you want to save your life, you must do what you have agreed, immediately! Outside the city, there was a shout from the cavalry formation of the Shanyang Army.

"Huh? What do you mean? Conventions? Don't...... Someone ...... coming" Captain Zhiguo suddenly remembered the person who had come to woo him a few days ago, and he couldn't help but have cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Go...... All the officers will be ...... Forehead...... You...... You are ......" looked at the long knife on his chest, and Captain Zhiguo said with difficulty.

"That's right, my brothers and I have surrendered to the Shanyang Army." One of the Qu Chang said sharply, and after speaking, he pulled out the long knife in his hand fiercely.

"This official has surrendered to the Shanyang Army, and those who are willing to join me will stay. If you don't want to, you can leave on your own. In the midst of the dozens of soldiers around him who slaughtered Captain Zhiguo's personal guards, Qu Chang raised his blood-dripping long knife and roared sharply.

"This official is the same, I am willing to join the Shanyang Army and be a pawn in the Shanyang Army."

"The same is true of this officer......

In an instant, more than ten officers responded to the order and surrendered to the Shanyang army, while the three who did not reply also laid down their weapons and left.

"Come, open the gates! Welcome the Shanyang army into the city! ”

"Squeak ......" The closed gate was slowly opened.

"The first battalion, enter the city, take over the gates." Guan Lin said coldly. Seeing the city gate being opened, Guan Lin's heart couldn't help but heat up.

Suddenly, a thousand cavalry swarmed out, getting closer and closer to the city gate.

…………

"Uh......h Whining...... Woo......"

"General, listen, the sound of Guan Lin's horn came from the east gate, and they entered the city." Lu Yu said excitedly.

Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said sharply: "Order, as soon as the east gate is broken, the army will attack the city!" ”

When Zhao Xun received the sound of the horn at the east gate, Su Wei on the city wall also received it. Unlike Zhao Xun's joy, Su Wei's face was blue. for he has heard the sound of the trumpet in the midst of the city. In other words, the Iron Cavalry, the weapon that went around the east gate, had already entered the east gate

"Bastard, what the hell is going on!" Aside from scolding, Su Wei couldn't think of any words to vent to.

"Liu Dun, you immediately bring the three thousand reserves under the city and go to Dongcheng to meet them. Immediately! After Su Wei calmed down a little, he hurriedly sent an order to the generals beside him.

"General, the Shanyang Army outside the city has begun to attack the city again."

This time, the siege team of the Shanyang army did not match the beginning, and it withdrew as soon as it was beaten, but the army pressed on and stormed the south gate. The ladder was quickly erected and leaned against the city walls.

Under the slogan of the Shanyang sergeants shouting that the east gate is broken and the army is attacked inside and outside, the killing is very fierce. And the Yanzhou Mansion sergeants in the city changed their faces slightly, and the east gate had been lost, so it was really a flank attack from the inside and outside.

Under Su Wei's strong reprimand, the defending sergeants firmly believed that this was nothing more than a lie of the Shanyang army. However, with the rumbling of horses' hooves, shouts of slaughter, and the smoke rising from the city, the defenders of the city were told that the enemy was really coming in. At this moment, the morale of the soldiers defending the city suddenly fell to a low point. Very open, the Shanyang soldiers began to kill the head of the city.

This time, from the beginning of the siege to the time when the foot soldiers jumped up to the top of the city through the cloud ladder, it was less than half an hour.

Shouts of killing rang out one after another, and the defenders could no longer resist it. Ignoring the leaders behind him, he fled towards the city one by one. More soldiers surrendered under the slogan that those who surrendered in Shanyang would not be killed.

Not long after, the city gate was occupied, and the closed gate of Rencheng was the first to be opened by the Yanzhou government army. The Shanyang army outside the city suddenly swarmed in, and the south gate of the city was broken......

In the dim afternoon, although there was no snow, the roaring north seemed even colder. On the ground, corpses were everywhere, slowly warming up the remaining snow. Finally, it fused with blood and water, and then froze into ice.

"General Su, come down, the four city gates have been taken by General Ben. In addition to being killed in battle, most of the defenders in the city also surrendered. General Su, even if you don't think about yourself, think about it instead of you, the more than 400 soldiers. Do you want them to die by the arrows of the soldiers behind me? Do you want hundreds of families to hang vegetarian? Zhao Xun said with a smile to the hundreds of soldiers who were guarding the side of the city tower.

This Su Wei had a good reputation among the 10,000 government troops in Songzhou Prefecture, and persuaded him to surrender, and it was much easier to take over the rest of the counties, and he no longer had to fight hard for a long time.

"General Su, Lord Ge Xingge all think that the Shanyang Army is the most beneficial force to the land of Yanzhou, and he is now under my command. The surrender of the general can reduce the killing, and it can also facilitate the relief of our Shanyang Army to the local disaster victims. ”

"Okay, I surrendered, not because of defeat, but for the people of this Songzhou Mansion!" After a while, Su Wei said slowly, and then let go of the sword in his hand.

Although he was a little contemptuous of Su Wei's love of face, he still said: "General Su is righteous, and hundreds of thousands of people in Songzhou Mansion have to thank General Su for this move." General Su, please, let's go to the county government to discuss the affairs of the city. ”

Su Wei's old face turned red and said, "Su Mou, the general of the defeated army, I dare not be ashamed, please!" ”
