Hundreds of cowhide drums were beaten by strong and powerful drummers, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army shouted loudly with shields and guns, and marched forward with neat steps. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Xiliang army has approached the range of fifty steps under the city wall, they began to accelerate and rush forward, ready to cross the most dangerous area, Zhu Jun squinted his eyes, coldly looked at the Xiliang army below like a black tide, he did not give the first order to release the arrows, if he chose to release the arrows at this time, then the front row of shield soldiers in the Xiliang army would definitely be able to block most of their arrows, and Zhu Jun wanted to wait until the Xiliang army rushed forward before releasing the arrows, and at this time, such an opportunity has come.

"The archers aim at the enemy soldiers who are carrying ladders, ready to release the arrows!"

Zhu Jun pulled out his sword and ordered loudly.

Hundreds of archers on the city walls pulled the bowstrings down to the maximum, and the arrows were aimed at the dense crowd below.

"Put!"

Suddenly, a black rainforest formed by the convergence of feather arrows shot straight towards the crowd gathered under the city wall, and shot over the platoon of soldiers at once, but the crossbowmen of the Xiliang Army immediately launched a counterattack, their crossbow arrows were horse crossbows, and the range was not far, so there was no way to attack before, but now it was within their range, so in an instant, dense arrows also shot up under the city wall, and dozens of defender soldiers were shot by the loss, screaming and falling off the city wall, falling to pieces.

The Xiliang army rushed to make more than a dozen ladders overnight, these ladders are made of fresh trees, because the water in the trees has not evaporated, so their weight is very heavy, more than 200 soldiers pushed the ladder slowly close to the city wall, different from the ordinary siege ladder, the weight of the ladder is very heavy, there is a site below, there is an inclined ladder, there is a platform above the inclined ladder, there is a vertical ladder above, there are two barbs on the vertical ladder, as long as the city wall is built, it can be easily hooked on it, Then it is connected to the city with the inclined ladder below, so that the soldiers will go up and down quickly, and even if the soldiers defending the city want to pry it open with tools, it is difficult to push it down directly, because the ground below is very heavy, and the center of gravity is relatively low, so it can only be pushed away, so the defenders will prepare several long poles to push the ladder away before it hits the wall, or use a very heavy wolf tooth racket to deal with the enemies on the ladder.

The defenders of Zhongmu City were obviously the first to try the former, a ladder of the Xiliang Army tried several times, but they did not succeed in setting up the battlements on the city wall, but the defenders also spent a lot of manpower to deal with them, and the ladders of the Xiliang Army were more than ten units, and the defenders obviously did not have so much manpower to hold all these ladders, and soon four or five ladders had been erected on the city wall, and countless soldiers of the Xiliang Army shouted and swarmed from above, and the defenders held spears at the head of the city and desperately blocked them, preventing them from approaching.

The battle between the two sides soon entered the white heat, the archers of the Xiliang army far exceeded the defenders in the city in number, they gradually formed a formation under the city wall, and began to gather to release arrows on the city, the defenders on the city wall were suppressed by the dense arrow rain and could not raise their heads, the Xiliang army under the cover of the arrow rain, began to rush up the city wall, the defenders naturally could not let them gain a foothold on the city wall, dozens of soldiers with spears surrounded them, wanting to drive the Xiliang army down.

On the city wall, because the place is narrow and there are many people, so the long weapons are difficult to deploy, the soldiers of the Xiliang army are free hands with long knives when attacking, so that they can use both hands and feet when climbing, and the speed is much faster, but after arriving at the city wall, when facing the defenders' spear attack, such equipment is very difficult to use, the soldiers of the Xiliang army have almost no suspense, and they are quickly stabbed to death by the defenders of many people. Then several men worked together to throw his body down the ladder, knocking over dozens of soldiers who were climbing.

The Xiliang army responded quickly, this time with soldiers holding shields and horizontal knives to attack, the defenders were struggling to break the iron hook of the Xiliang army's ladder at this time, and then saw their ladder pushed away, otherwise this would be a steady stream of sending troops, and they would be under a lot of pressure.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army suddenly killed up, and the defenders immediately reformed the gun formation, wanting to use the same method as last time to deal with them, several soldiers of the Xiliang Army held the gap to the death, holding shields against the outside, and the spears of the defenders could pierce the shields if they were fighting on the ground, because the length of the spears was shorter than the spears, but the hardness was harder, and they were used to deal with the shields, but on the city wall, because of the narrow space, the soldiers could not exert their strength, and their backward charging actions could not be completely made, Therefore, the power will be discounted, and in this way, it will naturally not be able to pierce the shield to deal with, on the contrary, after the defender's spear is pierced, the horizontal knife of the Xiliang army can come in handy, they cooperate with each other very tacitly, and the defender's attack is blocked at the moment they push the shield together, the defender soldier was pushed by them, stood unsteadily, and leaned back and retreated, but saw a white cold light flash, and several soldiers were killed in an instant, and the Xiliang army guarded this gap, More and more soldiers began to climb the walls from here, and the situation began to turn unfavorable for the defenders.

And at this time, on another battlefield, a young general with a silver gun alone killed the city wall, the defenders here are Zhu Jun's own soldiers, large number and well-trained, so the offensive of the Xiliang army is not going well, this young general took the initiative to ask for help, the first soldier to kill up, the defenders fired arrows together, wanted to see him killed, but the gun in his hand was flicked and beaten, stunned that no feather arrow could get close, just a breath, he had already come from an ordinary siege ladder to the middle, The defenders hurriedly threw stones at him, trying to knock him down.

This kind of ordinary siege ladder is actually not strong, several soldiers on the city wall moved a boulder together, and the siege ladder was smashed at once, and this young general was only a battle away from the city wall at this time, I saw him shout, his toes on the broken ladder a little, changed and jumped up, the soldiers at the head of the city stretched out their spears and stabbed at him, he held the gun in his right hand, grabbed two guns with his left hand, and clamped them under his armpit, and then the strength of the soldiers on the city head jumped on the city head at once, and the tip of the gun in his right hand shook more than once, In an instant, a bloody hole was stabbed in the throats of seven or eight soldiers.
