Chapter 134: Attacking the King's City

The elite siege troops, the 'high-tech' siege equipment, all of this dazzled Wang Xu, compared with his own troops, it was simply a heaven and an underground.

Raising his eyes and looking at the four siege phalanxes in front of him, dozens of people were carrying the ladder and waiting there, Wang Xu smiled helplessly and bitterly, I really want to find a crack in the ground now.

Lu Yang stroked the mustache on the side of his mouth and said with a smile: "General Wang, I have long heard that you have a fierce general, but when it comes to this siege war, it is not enough to rely on fierce generals alone. ”

Wang Xu also admitted this, and immediately responded: "What General Lu said is extremely true. Pointing to the siege troops in front, Wang Xu said: "With the sharpness of the general's siege troops, the battle of Wangcheng can be determined." ”

The corners of Lu Yang's mouth twitched: "Wangcheng is an important town in the ancient west, how can it be taken in one battle, General Wang laughed." ”

At this time, the besieging troops had crossed the moat, and more than a dozen ladders were set up at the head of the city, which were like car models, extremely large, and the soldiers in the city could not overturn them at all.

The ladder was firmly attached to the edge of the city wall, and countless soldiers climbed the rock with their shields.

In addition to the ladder, there is also the siege tower, the siege tower is not an offensive weapon, but similar to the ladder of the instrument, up to more than two zhang, in the shape of a tower, the soldier can climb up from the tower, and so on to the highest place, then put down the ladder at the top of the tower, put it on the city wall, so that the soldier from the siege tower to the city wall, only five steps, if the siege tower is close, only three steps can go up the tower.

And the most important thing is that there are many partitions inside the siege towers, and above each partition stands an archer, which can effectively cover all the siege troops, and most importantly cover the troops who cross from the siege tower to the city wall.

The more Wang Xu looks, the more frightened he becomes, this kind of siege tower also has in Chinese history, originally originated in the Three Kingdoms era, the effect is amazing, it is a weapon for siege.

On the city wall, Yan Xiang scattered a thousand archers everywhere and ordered them to shoot as long as they saw the enemy, and they didn't need to listen to orders, and they were free to shoot.

At the same time, Ding Ran brought another thousand archers from the school field, and this force was transferred by Yan Xiang to his surroundings.

"Aim for that tower and shoot me!"

Whoosh

More than 1,000 bows and arrows were fired at the siege tower, but it had no effect, because the entire siege tower was closed, leaving only many fist-sized holes.

The tower was already full of archers, and countless soldiers climbed up the siege tower, and when they reached the top, the two soldiers lowered the ladder.

Syllable!

With a loud bang, a path more than three meters long was paved, this is the biggest role of the siege tower, which can shorten the attack distance, originally the soldiers want to climb along the ladder if they want to go up the city wall, and during this time it is very likely to be attacked by the enemy's bows and arrows, boulders, etc., but now the siege tower is closed, and the distance of more than two zhang will not be attacked by any kind, and only after reaching the top, the danger will deepen.

"Hurry up and release the giant trees and rolling stones!" The captain defending the city shouted loudly.

In fact, there is no need for the captain to order, the soldiers on the city wall are all elite soldiers, they themselves know how to defend the city, boulders, rolling logs, arrow feathers, etc., do not want to call the enemy troops under the city.

The city wall was so high that Lu Yang's soldiers could not climb the tower after attacking for nearly half an hour, and they were often hit by the boulders on the city halfway through. What's even more worrisome, boiling oil poured under the city, and then lit a fire, and the casualties of Luyang's siege troops increased sharply.

The collision car under the city hit the city gate very smoothly, and after hitting it for a long time, the city gate did not move at all; Guxi County has established itself as the political center of the royal city, and its defense can be imagined, although the iron gate was deafeningly smashed, but it was extremely strong, and according to this situation, it was impossible to break open in a short time.

Lu Yang's siege troops suffered a lot of casualties, nearly a thousand people died in just half an hour, of course, Yan Xiang's soldiers also died a lot, mainly at the hands of trebuchets and archers in the siege tower, and by now, the death toll has risen to more than a thousand.

The whole battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, drums were beating, and the flames under the city were soaring, and from the overall point of view, only the siege tower posed the greatest threat to the city wall.

The siege tower is only a few meters away from the wall of the city wall, and the soldiers can cross it in a few steps, although there are countless archers waiting on the opposite side, but they still can't stop it, because the soldiers are endless, and there are countless dead ones, plus there are countless archers in the tower to cover, and in the long run, the enemy casualties on the city wall are also large, and most of the dead are archers.

At this time, a commander of a thousand men walked up to the siege tower with a shield and a horizontal sword, and he was closely followed by countless soldiers, whose eyes were full of hideousness, and he looked back at the tower: "Archers cover up, others charge me!" ”

After the commander finished speaking, he took three steps and made two steps up the ladder, and as expected, at this moment, the enemy on the opposite side launched an attack, and countless arrows and feathers were shot head-on.

Whoosh

The commander had expected this a long time ago, so the moment he stepped on the ladder, his body bent slightly, and his whole body shrank into the shield, which blocked all attacks, and when he couldn't hear the impact of the arrow feathers hitting the shield, the commander smiled sinisterly, suddenly burst out, and stepped forward on the ladder.

Whoosh

The archers in the tower took cover and shot down a large area of the enemy army on the opposite side, and on this opportunity, the commander came to the city wall.

"Kill!"

There were sword and shield men and pikemen on the city wall, and the commander didn't care about this, raised his eyebrows, and rushed directly to the opposite archer phalanx, because as long as there were no archers shooting, the soldiers in the tower would rush up from afar, and only in this way could it be possible to take the city wall.

Puff puff

The martial arts of the commander are not too good, but they are much more shrewd than ordinary soldiers, and when they come to the archer phalanx, the horizontal sword opens and closes, and the left and right stabs are stabbed, and after a while, they will stir up the chickens and dogs, and they can achieve such an effect, but also because the archers do not have weapons at close range, and under this battle, they suffered a dark loss.

Yan Xiang found out about the situation here and immediately ordered the spearmen to come forward to help.

"Kill that man!"

Elite soldiers are elite soldiers, after Yan Xiang gave the order, not only did the pikemen go to snipe the commander, but even the surrounding sword and shield hands automatically joined the battle, on the one hand, they resisted the arrows from the tower, and on the other hand, they resisted the soldiers who came down the ladder and on the other side, dozens of spearmen quickly rushed over and surrounded the commander.

Half an hour later, the commander was killed!

In the army formation under the city, Zhang Meng snorted a few times unwillingly, what a good opportunity, they have already climbed the city tower, but the result is still in vain.

"Lord, let me go."

Wang Xu frowned and glared at Zhang Meng fiercely.

Zhang Meng was helpless, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
