On the battlefield, the war bean thundered, the horns whined, and the arrows roared like rain, shouting to kill and shake the sky.
Above and below the city, the arrows issued by both sides covered the sky and the sun, making the heavens and the earth dark.
With Li Ru's anxious order, Dong Zhuojun in the city, in a panic, everyone pulled their bows and released arrows, shooting and killing the soldiers of Liu Yi who attacked below, and at the same time, stones and woods were thrown down from the city with a bang, or kept splashing down with boiling oil and water, trying to block the sergeants who climbed the wall with building cars, ladders or climbing the wall.
Attack battles are brutal, especially for the besieging side, the enemy army is condescending, occupying a huge advantage, every siege battle, even if the attacking side is finally victorious, it will only be a miserable victory, and the casualties will generally be much greater than the defending side.
Xi Zhicai also anxiously waved the command flag, giving the order to the sergeants to attack.
Tai Shici participated in the direct attack, so the command fell on him, the military division.
The soldiers besieging the city seemed to be pouring towards the city wall like a tide, but there were not many troops actually put into the formal siege, and they basically rushed to the range of arrows and released arrows into the city, mainly to suppress the archers on the city and Dong Zhuo's soldiers who came out.
Therefore, Liu Yi's army seems to be huge, but there are not many sergeants who really rushed to the city wall to climb the city wall, and they are sparse, so it is just to attract the attention of Dong Zhuojun in the city, so that Liu Yi and others can relieve a little pressure, and don't let all the enemy soldiers in the city rush to the place where Liu Yi and Tai Shici and others climbed on the city.
But even so, the soldiers besieging the city also suffered a fatal blow from Dong Zhuo's army in the city.
The sergeant who rushed to the city was shot down by Dong Zhuojun's arrow rain, and those who were blocked by a shield rushed to the bottom of the wall, and were hit by the big stone above, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.
A building car with twenty-four sergeants on it. When he was close to the city wall, he was hit by Dong Zhuojun's long log, crumbling, and was densely shot by rockets. Even if there is a raw cowhide to prevent fire, it can't help the flames, and the sergeants inside are also on fire. Several sergeants jumped from the building car to the city wall, not afraid of the fire, and fought with Dong Zhuojun, but they were soon killed by the swarming Dong Zhuojun. The building car was finally unbearable and fell backwards, and few of the twenty or thirty sergeants survived.
The ladder was knocked down by Dong Zhuojun one by one, and the sergeant who climbed up from the strong rope was also splashed by the boiling oil and water on the city, and the hot grease burned the sergeant's face. Instantly disfigured, under the severe pain, let out a burst of sad screams.
Of course. Dong Zhuojun in the city was not having a good time, the rain of arrows fired in volleys under the city kept falling on the city, and Dong Zhuojun's screams of arrows were also continuous.
"Strategist! I'll get on it! Huang Xu saw that his sergeant had suffered heavy casualties, and couldn't help shouting with red eyes.
"No hurry! The lord and they have already ascended to the city, and ordered the sergeants to ascend the city through the gap, and the others may be stopped first. Xi Zhicai said to Huang Xu while waving the banner.
"The military advisors can't stop, the lord and they are still fighting fiercely in the city." Huang Xu listened to the drama and said that he would suspend the siege first. Hurry up and stop it.
"This is the lord's order, and a strong attack will cause too much damage to our warriors." Xi Zhicai's eyes fell on the city wall that collapsed with a big gap and said: "Use a trebuchet to open a gap and use it, otherwise why would we spend so much effort transporting catapults from Dongting Lake?" The casualties of the assault were too great, and the lord had always disapproved of the assault. Our army has pressed the border, and it has put great pressure on them, and they have made a feint for a while. Give the lord a little time to buy them, and when the new Yulin army enters the city through the gap, then the city will be captured. By the way, General Huang Xu, didn't you arrange people in the city? I think it's time to launch, let them pick up the sergeants entering the city, as long as the city gate is opened, our army will be killed, and the overall situation can be decided! โ
"Yes, I'll let people shoot arrows right away, and let the people in the city cooperate with us to capture the city gates!" When Huang Xu heard this, he didn't say anything more, and immediately turned around and gave an order to his own soldiers.
At this time, at the head of the city, Li Dao also urged the sergeant to pounce on Liu Yi.
"Kill! Fast! Drive Levio and them down! Li Dao was bold and took the lead in attacking Liu Yi with a gun.
Now that Liu Yi has launched a full-scale attack, although Li Dao is frightened by Liu Yi's martial arts and the power of the catapult, he has no choice now, Liu Yi has already attacked the city, at this time, he has no way to retreat, and it is too late to retreat. Therefore, he can only fight desperately, as long as Liu Yi and others are driven out of the city, then he will have time to repair the city wall, and have a chance to confront Liu Yi, otherwise, I am afraid that the city will be broken today and Hongnong City will be taken away by Liu Yi.
The power of the catapult is indeed terrifying, but in fact, its power is not enough to completely destroy the city wall, and they still have the possibility of defending it.
The thick city wall is indeed not so easy to destroy, and Liu Yi also saw that it is already quite good to be able to bombard a section of the city wall, and if you use a catapult to bombard it down, it may not be possible to completely destroy the city wall if the catapult is destroyed.
However, it is enough to destroy a small section of the city wall, this section of the city wall has collapsed a few zhang, and the gap that has collapsed is as wide as twenty or thirty zhang, which is equivalent to dividing the city wall into two sections, and either side of the city, as long as it is captured, it is equivalent to controlling a long section of the city wall, and Liu Yi's army can still enter the city with this.
"It's time to capture Hongnong City! Kill! Not to be outdone, Liu Yi turned over the dragon spear and fought directly with Li Dao.
"Husband! I'm coming! โ
Just when Liu Yi fell into the middle of Li Dao and the Dong Zhuo army that he pounced on, Yuan Qing had already flown up and killed, and a black shadow flashed and directly pounced into Dong Zhuo's sergeant.
"I'm here too!" Xu Zhu's sturdy figure climbed up from below, and stomped heavily on the top of the city with a bang.
Almost at the same time as Xu Zhu, there was also Shi A, but he didn't make too big a formation like Xu Zhu, but quietly pounced directly on Dong Zhuobing, and Yuan Qing protected Liu Yi on both sides.
Bumper Bumper!
Li Wei blocked left and right, and blocked Liu Yi, Yuan Qing, and Shi A in a row, just a rendezvous, which made him stunned, and one Liu Yi made him frightened, not to mention that there were two more first-class masters? His hands were almost so shocked that he couldn't hold his weapons, and he hurriedly retreated, only to see that the sergeants on the left and right were hit by the three people in front of him like chopping melons and vegetables, and they were splashed with blood and fell.
How is this battle going to be fought? The walkway at the head of the city is so wide. The three masters were in charge of the pass, and they repelled the attack of him and his men, and under the strong attack of these three people, they couldn't get close to the gap at all.
"General Li Dao. Hurry back! โ
At this moment, someone behind him suddenly snorted coldly.
Li Dao turned his head to look, but it was Zhang Ji.
Li Ji and Li Ru, as well as Zhang Ji and Guo Yan, the two of them were a group, taking turns to be responsible for guarding the city day and night, and Zhang Ji and Guo Yan were resting during the day. But Liu Yi attacked the city, and someone called Zhang Ji and Guo Yan again.
I saw that Zhang Ji led hundreds of bows and arrows to the back of Li Dao.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Zhang Ji now, just reminded Li Dao, and immediately ordered the arrow to be released.
Ahead, entangled with Liu Yi, Yuan Qing, Shi A and others, there are many Li Dao's personal soldiers, but the situation is critical. Zhang Ji can't care so much.
Whoosh
In an instant, hundreds of archers were in unison, and the arrows rained down on Liu Yi and the others.
"Ahhh
The first to be hit by the arrow was Li Ji's personal soldiers of Zhang Ji and others behind him. They were shot down in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, it also made Liu Yi and the others distance themselves from Li Dao's personal soldiers.
"Be careful, lord!"
The lethality of the bow and arrow was extremely great, and hundreds of archers fired a salvo, dense as rain, completely enveloping Liu Yi, Yuan Qing, and Shi A.
The density of arrows, under normal circumstances, even if the weapon is danced impermeable, it is impossible to completely block the arrows.
However, Xu Zhu shouted. jumped in front of Liu Yi, and used his body to block the arrow for Liu Yi, of course, he also waved the big knife to protect the vital point.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Yi saw that Xu Zhu's body had been shot with several arrows. Although it was not fatal, it also made Liu Yi angry. During the handover of the short army, Zhang Ji disregarded the lives of his soldiers and used a strong bow to force himself down the city.
"Zhang Ji! Let you run back from the Lu family, it's just right to see you today, take your life! Leo Yi held a gun in one hand and waved a rope in the other.
The rope was brought before the siege, with a hook, because Tai Shici shot a long arrow, so that there was a foothold between the city walls, so the rope did not come in handy, but now, Liu Yi saw that Zhang Ji's archers were still a hundred steps away, and Li Dao was leading the army to retreat, as long as they opened the distance, then Zhang Ji's archers did not have to scruple to attack themselves. Therefore, Liu Yi had an idea, took off the rope on his shoulder, and flew out directly with a wave to hook a retreating Sergeant Li Dao.
The rope straightened all at once.
"Sister Qing, be careful!" Liu Yi reminded Yuan Qing, and with a hard pull on the rope, his figure shot forward like an arrow, and crashed into Li Dao's personal army with a snort.
Right here, in the midst of the army under the city, a row of whining arrows suddenly sounded, and when Li Wei's people were stunned, Liu Yi had already killed them in the crowd.
"Kill!" Liu Yi's dragon spear was like a poisonous snake, flipping between Li Wei's own soldiers, and every time he swung out, someone would fall to the ground.
"Hold on! Resist! Li Wei watched Liu Yi kill like a withering and decaying, and his sergeant flew out of the city wall as if he had been cut grass, his eyes were red, but he no longer had the courage to step forward to attack Liu Yi.
He shouted as he retreated to Zhang Ji's side.
"General Li Wei, it seems that you can't hold it, go and ask Mr. Li Ru, what should I do now, quickly."
Zhang Ji was also full of panic at the moment, and when he saw Liu Yi's bravery, he felt that the general trend had gone.
At the head of the city, there were more and more soldiers of Liu Yi, and they were unstoppable and killed.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, there was a shout in the city, and Li Wei turned his head to look at it, and found that an army had suddenly killed in the city and was killing towards the city gate. In addition, what made his heart fall to the bottom at once was that from the gap in the city wall, there were Liu Yi's sergeants climbing up, and most of them went directly into the city.
"Lewi's army has entered the city"
"Liu Yi's army has entered the city!"
A panicked shout sounded, which completely shook Dong Zhuo's military heart.
Originally, Dong Zhuojun's descendants still wanted to fight to the death, but the other sergeants did not have the heart to fight with Sergeant Liu Yi. Especially after the recent publicity, especially the propaganda of the newspapers tied to the arrows, where do the non-Dong Zhuo sergeants still have the heart to fight to the death with Liu Yi's army? The sergeants who originally had the heart of surrender, saw that Liu Yi had a sergeant who killed the city wall from the gap, and many others entered the city, and they suddenly lost the heart of being an enemy of Liu Yi. There are also sergeants under the supervision of Dong Zhuo's sergeant, which is okay. They reluctantly obeyed the order to attack Liu Yi's men, but without Dong Zhuo's sergeant supervision, as soon as they saw Liu Yi's soldiers, they immediately abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
A gap in the city wall. More and more of Liu Yi's sergeants climbed up, including sword and shield soldiers and many archers.
Li Dao and Zhang Ji exchanged glances, turned around and ran back to the city tower and found Li Ru.
There was no need to fight this battle, Liu Yi's men had already occupied the broken wall on the other side, and many sergeants surrendered as soon as they saw it. There is no point in their people still dying and stubbornly resisting.
"Impossible! Impossible! Li Ru was hit by an arrow and was helped into the city tower by the sergeant, and he shouted like crazy: "Our Hongnong City has thick walls, how can it be broken by Liu Yi as soon as it is attacked?" General Li Ji, General Zhang Ji, Hongnongcheng is related to our Xiangguo's plan to dominate the world in the future, and there is no room for error, please be sure to return Liu Yi."
"Mr. Li Ru. Now that the general trend has gone, Liu Yi originally arranged an army in the city, and now. Their people are coming into the city in a steady stream from the gap, let's go quickly, go back to Hanguguan first and then make plans, now to go, it may be too late, and then tens of thousands of our elite soldiers will be buried here. Zhang Ji hurriedly said: "Gang Mou and General Guo Yan have secretly concentrated twenty or thirty thousand troops, and they are in the west of the city. If we fight with Liu Yi's army, it will be difficult for us to leave. โ
Liu Yi's attack was only to attack the south gate, and the east and north gates of the city were guarded by sergeants as a feint, and the west gate did not send troops to intercept it.
"Do you want to give up like this," Li Ru hung one arm. Stared at Zhang Ji excitedly and shouted.
"Someone! Take Mr. Li Ru away and take care of it. Zhang Ji is a decisive lord, seeing that Li Ji did not dare to disobey Li Ru's intentions, he decisively called someone in and took Li Ru, who was unwilling to leave, away.
"No! No, Zhang Ji, Hongnong County can't give up," Li Ru argued.
"Hongnong County has been lost, we can't hold it, Liu Yi came prepared, except for the decisive battle with him at the beginning, we can't hold it now." Zhang Ji didn't pay any attention to Li Ru, turned his head to Li Dao and said: "General Li Dao, you should know better than Zhang, Liu Yi has now won the hearts of the people, our sergeants, encouraged by Liu Yi, have no intention of resisting at all, and have long been rebellious, in this case, is it possible for us to hold Hongnong City?" โ
"To defend the city, in addition to the high walls of the city, the most important thing is to rely on the unity of the army and the people to resist the enemy to the death, but let's see, in recent times, there have been soldiers fleeing out of the city to join the enemy, and we have already been defeated. Let's go. โ
"Withdraw!" Li Wei yelled outside unwillingly.
At the head of the city, Dong Zhuojun, who was still fighting with Liu Yi, immediately fled desperately when he heard the retreat, and in addition, most of the sergeants, those new troops, when they saw Dong Zhuo's elite soldiers retreating, they almost didn't think much about it, and they surrendered on their knees.
At this time, Shen Yong had already led the soldiers of the Xinyulin Army into the city, joined up with Huang Xu's soldiers who were originally lurking in the city, and attacked the south gate of the city.
Zhang Ji and Li Dao left with Li Ru, and naturally left two or three thousand dead soldiers to guard the city gate to buy a little time for their retreat.
However, under the attack of the new Yulin Army, these dead soldiers are simply difficult to resist, and the sergeants of the New Yulin Army, Mo Dao Shirt Uร n Sakura Xiang Jin Bao Benzene Shadow Gelding Qin Freeze Wei K Pry Huang Huang This Labor Terrier Tip Step Huang Li Cheng Thin W Scandium Blink Benzene Hui Du Stretch Feed ะค Playing Trick Lu Mu Du Dan 4
As soon as the city gate opened, Huang Xu, who had been waiting outside, took the lead and led the army to rush in directly.
Zhang Ji and Guo Yan were originally responsible for patrolling Hongnong City at night, and they saw a lot of sergeants sneaking out of the city at night, and they couldn't stop them, and they couldn't kill them. In such a situation, they are already feeling very dangerous.
Therefore, they had the heart to evacuate a long time ago, of course, until the last moment, they didn't want to give up Hongnong, Li Ru and Li Dao didn't retreat, and they couldn't just leave, because they couldn't explain to Dong Zhuo afterwards.
But that doesn't stop them from being prepared.
Therefore, when Levio's army began to attack the city, they gathered their troops and prepared to retreat, and at the same time, depending on the situation, they were ready to support the city walls. But when they saw Liu Yi bombarding the city wall with a catapult, they knew that something was wrong.
In this way, as soon as Liu Yi and others landed in the city, Zhang Ji appeared.
Zhang Ji led the archers to the city, just doing his best, it was naturally best to be able to repel Liu Yi and others, no, he was ready to persuade Li Ru and Li Dao to retreat, and escaped with his life in time.
Li Dao is easy to speak, he, Guo Yan and other generals are all life-saving people, and when they see that the situation is unavoidable, they will withdraw without saying a word, but Li Ru, a think tank, is not easy to say. Zhang Ji was afraid that Li Ru would not be willing to give up Hongnong, and would swear to resist them.
Therefore, Zhang Ji saw that Li Ru seemed to be a little enchanted, so he simply asked people to take him away first.
Hongnong City has a total of 60,000 elite soldiers, every 30,000 soldiers for a round defense, so there are 30,000 soldiers who are not left on the city wall, these 30,000 military horses are also the army that Zhang Ji and Guo Yan can take away in a formation.
As for the soldiers defending the city, how much they can escape depends on their creation.
However, how could Liu Yi let them escape safely?
Yan Liang led more than 10,000 cavalry, and was bypassing the city and rushing straight to the west gate.
