Chapter 33: The Battle of Languan (Part II)

"Little Hou Ye, look, their ladder is ready."

Bolsha roared, Zhu Yu raised his eyes, and saw more than a dozen cloud ladders behind Wang Xu's army moving quickly to the front army: "Hmph, what if there are cloud ladders, we are sitting in such a majestic pass, does he think that they can break through it with their simple cloud ladders, whimsical."

In front of Wang Xu's army, Liu Er gasped, wiped his sweat, and reported: "Lord, I rushed to the twelve ladders."

"Okay, start attacking the city immediately" Under the command of Wang Xu, with a team of 100 people, they launched an attack on Languan with a cloud ladder.

"The first five teams are siege soldiers, and the last five teams are overseers; When the besieging soldiers are finished, the overseers make up for it and go to war."

The five groups of soldiers marched forward in unison under the leadership of their respective centurions, and after a while they ran to the bottom of Languan City, and five ladders were erected on the city wall at the same time, and the five hundred soldiers climbed up with their heads bored.

"Kill".

On the wall of Languan, Zhu Yu looked down, and suddenly sneered: "Hmph, no matter how much you break the general, you can't attack the city, there is neither a shield nor a bow and arrow to cover, you go and die."

Zhu Yu held a long sword in his hand and commanded: "It's all ready for me, hit it with a stone, and no one is allowed to come up."

After getting Zhu Yu's order, the soldiers on the city wall picked up the stones that had been prepared long ago and began to desperately smash them under the city wall, the stones were like rain, and they kept smashing at the soldiers who were attacking the city under the city.

Wang Xu stood behind the soldiers who supervised the battle, looking at the brothers who were stoned to death, his heart was like a knife, but Wang Xu did not give the order to retreat, it was inevitable that there would be casualties in the battle, and the soldiers besieging the city did not even have armor, and it was normal for them to suffer heavy casualties.

"The soldiers who supervise the war make up for it, hurry, rush up, take Languan, and manage the wine and meat for three days."

Hearing that there was wine and meat to eat, the siege soldiers climbed the ladder more vigorously, and they all rushed forward as if they had been beaten with chicken blood; And the soldiers who supervised the battle were also gearing up and eager to try.

Although the morale was high, the reality was cruel, and every time the soldiers climbed halfway up, they would be thrown down by stones, and they attacked for half an hour, without even touching the edge of the city wall. Wang Xu wiped a handful of cold sweat; Although there were heavy casualties, Wang Xu still had no intention of retreating, fog like today's was unavoidable, if he withdrew from the army, and when the soldiers in Languan were replenished, then never think about this Languan; Wang Xu saw very clearly that the soldiers defending the city did not even have bows and arrows, and this kind of opportunity was rare in a hundred years.

"If the lord continues to fight like this, even if the whole army is wiped out, we won't be able to take this Languan, we have ten hundred-man teams dead, and none of the defenders of Kelanguan are dead" Liu Er pinched a cold sweat on the side.

"Yes, we've lost a thousand people, we have to find a way" Wang Xu also knew that he couldn't take Languan if he went on like this, but Wang Xu didn't have a way, isn't this how to climb up the ladder to attack the city, is there any other skill? Besides, I only have a ladder, and it would be nice if I had a catapult; Unfortunately, that's unrealistic.

On the wall of Languan, Zhu Yu walked back and forth, commanding the battle situation impenetrable, and every soldier played his due value.

"Little Hou Ye, the oil pot is boiling."

Zhu Yu's face was full of hideousness, and he ordered: "Pour it down for me, prepare torches, and immediately after the boiling oil is poured, still have torches, and burn them all to death." "Nuo" boiling oil poured down the ladder, and the soldiers who were besieging the city under the city wall let out a wail, and most of the soldiers jumped directly from the ladder, either dead or wounded; This is not the end, after the boiling oil, a torch was thrown down, and all the places under the city that were stained with boiling oil immediately burst into flames, and for a time, the besieging soldiers suffered heavy casualties and mourned all over the field.

"Lord, Sun Yu is back."

Wang Xu turned around to look, only to see a bloody man running towards the front army, and when he got closer, Sun Yu was tired and couldn't do it anymore, knelt on one knee, and said, "Lord, I'm back."

Wang Xu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Okay, it's good to come back, get up quickly."

Sun Yu stood up, only then did he see the scene in front of him, frowned, and said, "Lord, we have five hundred crossbowmen, why did the lord abandon them?" ”

"Crossbowmen?"

Under the command of Sun Yu, five hundred crossbowmen were transferred up and launched an attack on the soldiers defending the city on the city wall, Sun Yu chuckled and said: "Lord, the enemy army does not even have bows and arrows, but our army has bows and arrows, and within an hour, Languan City will fall."

Wang Xu is now remorseful, such a simple siege will not be, and more than a thousand soldiers died in vain.

"Brothers, as long as the enemy dares to show his head, shoot me fiercely" More than 500 archers came to the place of arrows under the city, drew their bows like a full moon, and arrows went like shooting stars, and all the soldiers who were about to go down with stones on the city wall were shot and fell backwards.

The archers fired three rounds in a row, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers throwing stones down the walls.

On the city wall, Zhu Yu roared loudly: "What are you all doing, don't you see the enemy army coming up, quickly throw stones down for me."

"Little Marquis, they have bows and arrows, and we will definitely die as soon as we show our heads."

Zhu Yu's long sword was cut down, and a soldier was killed on the spot, and Zhu Yu shouted loudly: "The fighter is dead, if anyone doesn't throw stones down, I will kill him." Zhu Yu's killing of chickens and monkeys did play a great role, and the soldiers of the enemy cheered up, picked up the stones and came to the edge of the city wall, but before the soldiers could throw the stones, several sharp arrows flew in, and the stones and soldiers rolled down the city at the same time.

"Little Hou Ye, the enemy's bow and arrow are too ruthless, and our army's stones can't hit them, if this continues, Languan City will be lost sooner or later, the last general implores the little Hou Ye to go first, and the last general swears to live and die with Languan." After Bolsha cut down a soldier who had just climbed the city wall, he came to Zhu Yu and said.

Zhu Yu's long sword was cut down, and the soldiers on the ladder suddenly fell down into the city with a wail, Zhu Yu refused: "No, I can't go, if I go, then this Languan City will really be lost, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and kill the enemy, don't let the enemy mountain come."

"General Nuomo swears to protect the little marquis" Bolsha was ready to sacrifice, and the nine-foot long knife slashed hard, and all the soldiers who climbed the city wall were cut upside down and flew out, falling off the city wall.

On the path on the right side of Mingshan, a bald head carrying two sledgehammers ran quickly down the mountain, and when he got closer, Zhang Meng said: "Lord, I'm back."

Wang Xu has been paying attention to the battle situation in Languan City, Zhang Meng didn't see it when he came back, and he saw it when he heard the shouting, this look, Wang Xu almost turned to his stomach, only to see the bald head, the body, especially the hammer, was full of white brains, which made people feel disgusted: "Bald, stay away from me and vomit." Wang Xu finally couldn't hold back, opened his big mouth, and spit on the ground

"Hehe, lord, the heads of the thousand ambush soldiers have been blown up by me" Zhang Meng looked at the city wall, and when he saw that Bolsha was killing our soldiers, he was immediately furious, and rushed up with a hammer: "Oh, Hugh is arrogant, see a certain family come to smash you."
