Chapter Forty-Nine: Under the Attack and Defense of Yidao

The rising sun rises in the east, illuminating the entire Central Plains and bringing a dawn of hope to all living beings;

At this time, it was the most desperate moment of life under Yidao City, and he had not had time to feel the light of the morning sun, but he died; The sun shone on the faces of the young soldiers, but it did not bring them any warmth, and all that awaited them was life and death.

Under the incessant and indiscriminate bombardment of the Wu army's catapults, the Han army did not flinch, and continued to rush towards the city wall with a shield;

The ladder cart opened the way in front, followed by the Linchong Lu bus and the Chongcheng car, and the Jing Yan moved slowly and had not yet entered the battlefield, and the nest car was already outside the attack range of the enemy's catapult and began to watch the enemy's movements.

After dropping more than 100 corpses, the soldiers of the Han army finally drove the first ladder car to the Yidao City Tower, and immediately there were soldiers of the Han army who were not afraid of life and death and stepped on the ladder and began to charge upward;

The first person to step on the ladder was Luo Zhu, the name of a very ordinary soldier; "The ladder is approaching, I must be the first one, even if the arrow pierces the heart, I can't be afraid, His Majesty the Emperor is watching from afar, joining the army to serve the country, and the line of life and death is in the present dynasty" Luo thought silently, and suddenly his head was blank; Because he successfully stepped on the cloud ladder first and was heading towards the Wu army's tower, how much he hoped that the Wu army in front of him would suddenly withdraw all of themใ€ใ€ใ€

It is precisely because of such siege warfare that the casualties of the besieging side are greater than the multiple of the casualties of the defending side, and in the face of wave after wave of fearless charges of the Han soldiers; The soldiers of the Wu army did not have the slightest fear, and under the command of Ling Tong, they seemed to be offensive and defensive.

As more and more ladder cars were erected on the city tower, more and more soldiers chose to climb the city without hesitation, holding a shield in their left hand and a knife in their right hand, but they were unable to finally stand on the city tower.

The Han army shot at the city through the arrow holes in the car, and the defenders were also shocked by the sudden arrows, after all, not all siege battles will use the Linchong Lu bus, only a few large-scale battles can see its figure, Liu Bei's imperial expedition must bring this powerful weapon.

However, it still could not change the whole situation of the battle, and the Linchong Lu bus did not dare to approach the city wall for the time being, if the defenders cut through the outer layer of the cowhide, they might be attacked by the enemy's rockets, and they could only temporarily suppress the opponent with arrows to give their own side the opportunity to attack the city tower.

At this time, the well also joined the battle, and five soldiers armed with heavy crossbows stood on one of the wells, shooting towards the area where the soldiers were densely populated or suppressing the opponent's arrows to relieve the pressure on their own side. At this moment, the battlefield has completely become a meat grinder, not only the heavy casualties of the besieging side, but also the defenders of the city have been hit by the Han army's high-altitude attack.

While the other siege equipment was showing its lethality, the storming cart also slowly reached the bottom of the city gate, and the soldiers who pushed the storming cart inside were not harmed due to the cover of the wide board; The sound of 'boom, boom, ใ€ใ€ใ€boom' suddenly sounded at the city gate, although the power of the rushing cart was huge, but the city gate did not shake for half a minute, but the soldiers still did not stop slamming at all, as if a machine had been injected into the program.

On the castle tower; "Lao Zhao, you said that the Han army's siege is so strong, if it weren't for the fact that our army has a city wall to resist, I don't know how many times it has been killed," said a soldier of Wu who had been injured and repatriated.

"His Majesty the Emperor is personally driving the expedition, all of them are desperately attacking the city, and there are so many siege equipment in the city, we can be regarded as saving a life to return home if we are injured," said the person who was replaced by him as Lao Zhao.

"That's right, do you think our soldiers can hold this city?"

"It's hard to say, the main reason is that the variables are too big, the news of the death of the governor of Han Dang has reached Jiangdong, I don't know what arrangements the lord will make, and I just have to wait for the arrangement of fate."

"No matter how the lord is appointed, is there anyone in Jiangdong who has more prestige than the right governor? Therefore, I think that no matter how the lord deploys troops and generals, he will not remove the right governor and replace him with other generals."

"Of course, after all, the right governor once saved the lord" In the face of the muttering of these two wounded soldiers in the rear, the soldiers guarding the front line of the city wall were sent over again, and their mouths were still wailing.

In the face of such a fearless attack of life and death, Ling Tong was also sweating at this time, and in just two hours, the casualties of the Wu army had reached thousands of people, and he could see that the Han army did not seem to have gone all out.

Just in this city tower, which has been presenting a stalemate, there was finally a breakthrough, a Han soldier rushed up the city tower and stood on the city wall when the Linchong Lu bus and Jing Yan suppressed the enemy, and then the Han army rushed up; However, in the face of the enemy's ruthless spears, the five Han soldiers who climbed the tower immediately leaned together and used their shields to resist the swords and guns of the Wu army, because they knew that as long as they did not die, there would be an endless stream of Han troops rushing to the city behind them; But the truth was not as they imagined, the five soldiers who climbed the tower were immediately besieged by the wolf-like Wu army, and in just a few blinks of an eye, these five soldiers all fell in a pool of blood.

The hard-won opportunity of the Han army disappeared above the city tower like a flash in the pan; The Wu army also began to rearrange the defense of this section of the city wall, and the Han army began to prepare for a fearless impact, a soldier carrying a shield rushed straight forward and stepped on a ladder, but when he was about to reach the city wall, he was smashed down the city wall by the rolling wood prepared by the enemy, and his life and death were unknown.

At this time, on the entire battlefield, the most shining is the three-zhang high well, each of the five Han soldiers held a heavy crossbow, and sent a death arrow towards the Wu army's array, and the heavy crossbowmen selected as the top of the well are all strong archers selected in the army, so the accuracy is extremely high, and it is a terrifying nightmare for the Wu army.

The most massive Linchong Lu bus was fifty meters away from the city wall, firing arrows endlessly at the city tower, suppressing the Wu army's arrows from the city tower; did not get close to the city tower to take the way to the city to climb the city, perhaps it was not the best time to climb the city at this time, or the Han army did not plan to take the Linchong Lu bus to the city at all.

"Your Majesty thinks that it is time to withdraw from the army, this battle has achieved the expected goal" After paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, Ma Liang, who joined the army, reminded Liu Bei beside him.

"Order, retreat" With Liu Bei's order, the war drums of the Han army immediately sounded the drums of the retreating army, which was transmitted to the ears of every Han army.

Hearing the drums of the retreating army, Jing Yan and Linchong Lu's bus showed no sign of retreating, but continued to shoot the Wu army on the city tower, and only the ladder car was transported by the soldiers to the rear.

When the army all withdrew from the battlefield, the scene left behind was shocking to the soldiers defending the city! (Newcomer authors ask for collections, recommendations!) Thank you! ๏ผ‰
