"Situ Lei has sent a lot of people, and I don't know if I can stop it! Our reinforcements were again blocked by Situ Lei's army in the land of Yingchuan. Looking at the posture, this Situ Lei's people are determined to take down here. ”

"Nonsense, if you take here, Situ Lei's people will be able to drive straight into the land of Yanzhou, then the brothers of the Wuwei Army will not be able to get out."

"Say a few words, what are you afraid of, Situ Lei not only annoyed King Qi, but also took advantage of King Zhao. King Zhao's army is also in the north. The two armies combined, can't they help the enemy army outside the city? Seeing his subordinates talking about it, Xu Yandong, the commander of the Shence Army, shouted coldly.

"General, the Xiaoguo Army is also here?" The first general was surprised.

"Well, the Xiaoguo Army and we are standing together, and we have an alliance with King Zhao." Xu Yandong said in a deep voice. In fact, he didn't know whether the Xiaoguo Army could reach it. If it weren't for the people of the Xiaoguo Army who contacted him and said that he would come back for support, he wouldn't believe it.

Outside the city.

"Boom!"

A full 5,000 hoplites came to a halt two hundred paces in front of the city. Then he slammed the big shield in his hand to the ground. There was a sudden explosion between the heavens and the earth, and there was a loud sound like a landslide cracking the ground, almost as if the hoplites had just lined up in formation. Huge rock-throwing trucks followed.

"Start attacking!"

The commander of the Yongwang army slashed the long sword in Zhong Wendao's hand, and the heralds around him quickly spread his orders to the front army.

"Put! Put! Put ......"

Hundreds of low-ranking officers standing beside the catapult coldly ordered, and thousands of heavy soldiers at the same time struggled to pull the cable in their hands, and the near end of the catapult fell fiercely. Suddenly, hundreds of boulders the size of millstones were thrown high, screaming with a terrible scream, tumbling and tumbling towards the city wall that had passed through the heightened and thickened city of the Shence army.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

In the Boulder Hammer City, the huge impact sound sounded endlessly in an instant, and the entire majestic city wall began to groan and tremble, and many of the recruits and recruits of the Shence Army were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies were like chaff. Of course, there are also soldiers who were directly hit by stones, broken bones and tendons, and died tragically, and there were stones that crashed into the burning oil pot with a bang. The pot was broken and the oil was splashing, the flames were churning, and more than a dozen soldiers guarding the oil pot had no time to avoid it. In an instant, it was engulfed by raging fire. The castle tower was suddenly in disarray, but no one escaped.

"Boom!"

A boulder almost brushed past Xu Yandong's ear, smashing heavily on the city tower, and suddenly smashed a pit on the city tower paved with blue bricks. Several pieces of the hard green bricks were also smashed, revealing the mottled loess underneath. Xu Yandong's expression was indifferent and calm, and he didn't even look back at the boulder that passed by. He is the master of the Divine Army, and he is also Murong Cheng's cronies, he was the first to be Murong Cheng's personal guard, and he was killed step by step from the battlefield, and he was not afraid of death.

The original wall was not a pure masonry structure, but a mixture of masonry and clay in the middle, which was thick and strong enough to withstand the incessant smashing of trebuchets. As long as the enemy army does not attack the city, the city wall will not be afraid. However, many of the newly raised walls were destroyed. However, for the defenders, this did not affect their defense.

"General!" One of the generals shouted, "Shoot back!" ”

"Yes, the Yongwang Army has a catapult, and our Qi Wangjun also has it!" Another general chimed in, "This subordinate sent by Situ Lei is obviously prepared, and it is by no means as simple as we expected, and we can't be beaten so passively. Although the city walls are very strong, the outside of the city will soon be leveled by the enemy army and the city walls, and they will directly kill the city. ”

"No hurry! Panic what! General Ben is still here, what are you afraid of! Xu Yandong shouted coldly. The cold gaze had already passed over the enemy's trebuchet array, and fell on the group of wells that were slowly squirming forward, and these wells were the greatest threat to the defenders. What's more, for them, using trebuchets to counter trebuchets and carry out long-range counter-bombardment is the worst way to play. They don't have as many troops as the other side, they don't have as many trebuchets as the other side, and more importantly, the other side can replenish them in time, while they can't.

You must know that although the trebuchet has a long range and great power, its hitting accuracy is extremely poor, and it is affected by the operation of the soldier's body, the colonel's password and the coordination of the towing cable, and the range is also uneven. Generally, it is necessary to concentrate on the majority to encircle and kill the enemy minority, so as to have significant special effects. In terms of the current number comparison, I am afraid that when the time comes, it will not be besieged and killed, but by others first. After all, none of the opponent's soldiers have officially engaged us yet, and the opponent's trebuchets will project the area of their own walls without worrying about the loss of their own soldiers.

"Boom ......"

The last boulder roared and tumbled and fell on the towering tower on the Pinggao city wall, and this boulder finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the three-story wooden tower collapsed in the dust, and dozens of Shence soldiers who were guarding in front of the tower were buried alive in an instant. It is also because of this that this boulder became the last one.

Outside the city.

The heavy infantry general waved his spear fiercely and shouted: "Forward!" ”

A terrible long howl resounded through the sky, and suddenly, the formation of the hoplites who were waiting for the battle changed again, scattered into small local formations, and a clearing was left in the middle of each phalanx, and more than 100 wells that slowly squirmed forward happened to be embedded in this open space. Subsequently, 5,000 hoplites escorted more than 100 wells and slowly approached the majestic outline of Pinggao City.

Twenty miles away from the north of the city, on the side of the mountain, the cavalry of the tenth town of the Xiaoguo army and the cavalry of the two capitals are waiting quietly here, and Zhao Xiong, the general of the tenth town, is also among them.

"How's it going?" Zhao Xiong asked lightly.

"General Hui, the Yongwang army is launching a strong attack on the city, but looking at the current situation, in the evening, the two sides will fight to the most fierce moment." The horse officer said in a deep voice.

"Always pay attention, and if you find that the Shence army in the city is invincible, or if there is an abnormal situation, report it immediately."

"Obey!"

"Someone, pass on the general's military order, immediately carry fifty trebuchets up the city wall, and wait for the general's military order." Xu Yandong looked at the Yongwang Army who was getting closer and closer, and ordered sharply.

The partial general Zuo Yan said sonorously: "The last general will take the order." ”

"Defend the archers in the city, let them see how powerful our archers are!"

Under the city wall, accompanied by the sound of "click", in the sound of endless footsteps, 5,000 heavy infantry and 10,000 elite spearmen have already crossed the battle and surged forward.

"Attack!"

"Boom!"

With the order of the former commander of the Yongwang army, in the neat roaring loud sound, 25,000 soldiers and soldiers paused, and then the heavy infantry put down the huge shield in their hands, and the 10,000 elite pikemen put the spear in their hands more than six zhang behind a column, and then gently pressed down the sharp spear tip to form a sharp angle with the ground.

"Hey...... Huh, ......"Under the impetus of the people, the well slowly approached the city wall.

Xu Yandong roared sharply: "Archer, prepare!" ”

"Roar, Roar, Roar, ......Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar, T

In the rhythmic roar, 10,000 elite archers quickly spread out to the front of the city wall, staring at the enemy troops outside the city with cold eyes without emotion......

…………

"Archer, prepare! Onward, sword and shield soldiers, guards! Under the city wall, Zhong Wendao also ordered in a cold voice.

More than 10,000 archers followed closely behind the sword and shield soldiers, and hurried forward, trying to suppress the archers on the city wall.

On the city wall, the eyes of the need are cold, as cold as the wind in the cold winter wax moon, in the corner where no one is paying attention, the ten fingers of the hands behind the back are tightly clasped, and the slender and powerful fingers full of calluses have begun to turn white due to excessive force! I hope that the Xiaoguo Army will keep its word! Xu Yandong said secretly in his heart.

In front of the officers and men of the Shence Army, the needs can only maintain a calm and calm momentum, even if the sky collapses, landslides and tsunamis will not change in the slightest. But in fact, he is also like an ordinary soldier, he is also a human being, he will also be nervous, the only difference is that he is the boss, he can't show it on his face, he needs to hide this feeling.

"Shoot the arrows!" Looking at the enemy troops that were getting closer and closer, and were already within the range of the archers, Xu Yandong ordered sharply.

"The big shield in front of you is erected, prepare me to protect the archers!" Xu Yandong ordered again.

"Shoot the arrows! Let the bastards in the city see how powerful my army of King Yong is! "Under the city, the former military commander of King Yong also gave an order after receiving Zhong Wendao's signal and seeing the distance of his subordinates' soldiers.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

Hundreds of officers on and below the city swung their swords fiercely, and on both sides of the city, a total of 20,000 elite longbowmen above and below the city suddenly released their right hands at the same time, and in the suffocating sound of the bowstring collapsing, on both sides, up and down, there were a whole thousand sharp wolf tooth arrows that had swept into the air, intertwined into a forest of death in the air, and then shot out towards each other like rain.

"Woo Woo ......"

The archers of the city attacked no one else, but also the archers of the city, and in the present situation, the archers of the city were a threat to both the heavy infantry and the enemy pikemen, and of course, if the well was close to the city walls, that was a different matter.

"Ah...... Help me......"

In a flash. There were terrible screams from above and below the city, accompanied by the sound of arrows piercing into the flesh, like sharp blades piercing rags, and like trying to bounce cotton, and the thin armor of the archers could not save their lives.

In one battle, the city took advantage, but still two thousand archers and sword and shield soldiers fell on the enemy's arrows, and more than a thousand were wounded. Under the city, more than 4,000 people fell, and half of the wounded could not continue the battle.

"Trebuchet ready! Ejection! ”

"Archer, keep shooting!"

Xu Yandong roared sharply, and the fierceness in his eyes was undoubted.

"Boom Boom ......" "Boom Boom Boom ......"

A rain of arrows rose into the air, and boulders shot down at the enemy archers beneath the city.

"Damn! There are also trebuchets in the city, bastard, didn't anyone say that when our defenders abandoned the city walls in the past, they had already dismantled the trebuchet? Whoever comes, check the defending officers who fled from the city that day, and behead them all! Zhong Wendao looked at the more than fifty boulders flying out of the city wall, and his face suddenly turned pale. He understood that he was being put on the table. And the archers under the city walls are afraid that they will be destroyed.

Sure enough, although the archers under the city wall were also ready to counterattack, when they saw the boulders launched by the guards above the city wall, they suddenly panicked, and the originally orderly military formation also began to riot, and the arrows that counterattacked became more than a thousand scattered scattered.

"Boom Boom ......" "Boom Boom ......"

Compared with the arrows, the effect of the boulder was greater, the originally dense archer formation and the sword and shield soldier formation were smashed by more than 50 boulders in an instant, and one boulder was enough to bring dozens of casualties. But the effect of the boulder is not casualties, but also deterrence.

When the soldiers watched the robes around them being smashed into pulp or smashed to pieces by the situation falling from the sky, how could they still stabilize their minds and fight back with the bows and arrows in their hands?

It's scattered, it's messed up! The 15,000 sword and shield soldiers and archers of the Yongwang army were in chaos in an instant.

"Keep shooting arrows and shoot them to death for us! Trebuchet, don't stop! Give me a projection into the well in front of me! Xu Yandong looked at the effect he had made, and suddenly shouted with joy.

"Woo Woo ......"

Arrows rained down, and at this time, the archers of the city wall were greatly demoralized, and they shot out the arrows in their hands and shot at the enemy troops below the city.

"Damn, let's get our trebuchets into action too, shoot at the enemy trebuchets on the walls, and destroy them for me!" Zhong Wendao roared angrily.

At the time of the Yongwang army's trebuchet, the trebuchet on the city wall had already worked for three rounds, and the well near the city wall became the primary target of the Qi Wangjun's attack, and most of it was smashed at once.

"General, our archers have suffered heavy losses, and most of the wells have been destroyed, but the trebuchets on the city walls have also been destroyed by our trebuchets. However, more than a dozen of our trebuchets were also destroyed by the enemy, and more than thirty of them collapsed on their own due to overuse. ”

"! Herald army. Continue the attack, and this evening the general will give you a banquet in the city. Zhong Wendao, whose face was pale, roared sharply.

On the city wall, after seeing that there were still seven or eight of the enemy's wells, Xu Yandong was overjoyed. The only pity is that his existing trebuchets are gone, otherwise he would have completely destroyed these wells. However, even so, these enemy forces should retreat. Otherwise, with these seven or eight wells, you won't be able to take this city.

"General, the enemy is attacking again!" A report interrupted Xu Yandong's contemplation.

"What?" Xu Yandong was startled, looked up, and immediately frowned. I saw that the enemy army outside the city was pouring in nearly 10,000 soldiers again, and they all came with ladders, and the well not far away was still approaching.

"Damn! This Yongwang army is difficult to fill with human lives, so do you have to break through here? Xu Yandong secretly hated.

"Herald! Let the defenders prepare, and the oil ready, pour it on the well for me, and burn it! The archers continue to shoot, and wherever the enemy is attacked, attack freely! Xu Yandong ordered in a deep voice.

The war continued, arrows, crossbows, boulders, oil and oil, rolling wood, and all kinds of equipment were put into battle at the same time, one side attacked fiercely, and the other side defended desperately. Losses on both sides continue to rise. But at this moment, neither Zhong Wendao nor Xu Yandong paid attention to this. One wants to take this city, break the interception of the Qi royal army, enter the land of Yanzhou, and change the overall situation. One wants to block the enemy army and prevent the other party from supporting the land of Yanzhou.

In the fierce fighting, both armies suffered heavy casualties. It was getting late, and although the army of King Qi occupied the advantage of defending the city, it still paid more than 20,000 dead and wounded. In contrast, the Yongwang army besieging the city was even worse, with more than 50,000, but nearly 20,000 of them were captured by the young men and the Shu rebels brought from Ningzhou. But Rao is like this, and the casualties are also not small, there are 30,000.

"Nima, why hasn't the Xiaoguo Army come yet, if you don't come again, the achievement will be broken!" looked at the city wall, was it the Yongwang army that was rushed up, and scolded secretly in his heart. It's not that the Qi Wangjun can't do it, but here, the Qi Wangjun has no civilian base, and the basic people who defend the city are soldiers, that is, young and strong people, and they are also used as logistics, at most, they send some arrows, stones and rolling wood, and other materials, and they don't dare to let them assist in defending the city.

"Tell the whole army, work harder, look at the city wall, we are about to break through! Kill! Zhong Wendao couldn't help but be happy when he saw whether he was attacking the city wall and being pressed down by the enemy army in the north. He knew that the defenders who had been fighting fiercely for a day were afraid that the supplies had been almost exhausted at this moment, especially arrows and the like, and they were about to be exhausted. After all, this is a city in Yongzhou, not Yuzhou. Although it was occupied by the Shence army, the armor and equipment in the treasury of the city, according to the report of the soldiers who fled, were almost destroyed.
