Whew......

Like a waterfall cascading down, this black arrow shot firmly downward.

In the face of this menacing attack, the sergeants around the city wood were already prepared, and there were originally two or three people with shields in their hands standing outside those soldiers, but when they saw the rain of arrows coming from their heads, they all immediately raised their shields in their hands to block the stray arrows above.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene, he had expected this scene, so he was naturally prepared.

He calculated very well, even if the arrows were sharp, the shields in their hands were not broken copper and iron, as long as they could block it for a period of time, it was enough, but an unexpected scene happened, as soon as those arrows fell, they actually pierced directly into those shields, and the shields in the hands of those sergeants were really like scrap metal under the attack of such a round of arrows from the other party, and they were pierced almost instantly, and the arrow rain was still "falling" continuously, and naturally the soldiers below were soon affected. I only heard the screams one after another, "ah", "ah", "ah", which made the soldiers of the Zhang Yang Army, who were still full of confidence, panic instantly, and those big men who carried the crashing trees began to feel that their current situation was not safe.

Zhang Yang, who had been looking at this side from a distance, was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and then stood up half-jumping, his smile disappeared, his face was full of surprise and disbelief, and there was a trace of gloom that gradually spread, his eyes were round, his mouth was open enough to stuff a duck egg, and his mouth was still muttering: "This ...... How could it be ......"

Lu Bu seemed to know his thoughts at this time, and sneered and said to himself: "Nothing is impossible. ”

Of course, these arrows are not ordinary arrows, their tips are made of hands and feet, and the tops are specially polished into a rather sharp cone, which would not have been possible if it were just a single arrow, but at that time, so many arrows fell like a waterfall at the same time, and the strength of the archer himself, plus gravity, and the combination of all the arrows caused such a destructive force.

Of course, the most important thing is that these shields in the Zhang Yang army are not very good, if they are really strong, even if the shield with strong resistance will be worn in the end, it will not be so destroyed. It can also play a due role in protecting those soldiers.

But now it is unrealistic for these five hundred people to want to protect themselves with shields. Almost instantly, more than two hundred sergeants had died under the rain of arrows, nearly half of them, and this lethality made them so frightened that they even wanted to run away immediately.

Zhang Yang's eyes were gloomy, but the generals around him were already dumbfounded, and then cold sweat was dripping, because they all thought that the plan to hit the city wood had failed, although the city gate of Pingzhou was still there. And everyone could see that it might not be able to resist a few hits, but the crashing wood was a dead thing, could it be expected that it would run over and bombard the city gate by itself when the surrounding soldiers were already too busy to take care of themselves?

Zhang Yang brushed his sleeves away, but this time he went directly to those craftsmen and asked, "What else can you think of?" ”

Of course, these craftsmen who accompanied the army also knew that the city crash wood had failed. It's not the problem of the city wood itself, which makes them somewhat relieved, at least this will not directly hold them accountable, but when they hear Zhang Yang's question, they can't help but look at each other, after all, they only make equipment, where do they know how to fight, this coach is not stimulated to the point of dizziness. So come and ask them this kind of nonsensical question?

Zhang Yang seemed to see what they were thinking. He said in a deep voice: "What I asked is not about hitting the city wood, and this matter is strange and unprepared." Second, the feasibility itself seems to be unlikely, and the question is whether there are any other ways to siege the city, or can you build something else? ”

An old craftsman said in a trembling voice: "Now the materials are not enough, and the powerful gun carriages are not able to come out, only the ladder is relatively simple and durable, but the general also saw that the ladder was slippery and could not be fixed on the city tower, and the ladder could not play its due effect, and the old man could not help." ”

When Zhang Yang heard this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly asked: "Since the ladder is slipping and cannot be fixed on the city tower, is there a way to make it not slip, since it will slip on the ice, then directly chisel into the ice?" ”

The craftsman thought for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Although it seems feasible to think about it, you still have to try it yourself to know." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Then hurry up and do it, and try it ...... immediately."

The craftsmen hurriedly retreated, Zhang Yang was looking at the melee above the city tower, limited by the environment, there were not many Zhang Yang soldiers who could climb the city tower, and there was no essential threat to the Pingzhou city tower with Lu Bu in charge, although there were also defenders who died, but they did not receive a fundamental blow.

If you expect such a siege method of piling up the corpses of soldiers to succeed in the end, then Zhang Yang simply sent countless cannon fodder to test the water first.

Not wanting to waste any more useless attempts with his troops, Zhang Yang finally announced that Mingjin had withdrawn his troops, and the generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, while the city wall was cheering, and the morale of the two sides was in stark contrast at this moment.

Of course, Lu Bu didn't take this lightly, he thought about it, found Ji Zhao and Wang De to whisper in their ears, and the two nodded again and again and left.

At this time, Zhang Yang was watching those craftsmen transform the ladder, he didn't understand this, so he just watched from the sidelines and didn't interfere.

Time passed minute by minute, and after the discussion and busyness of the craftsmen, it was finally completed, looking at the rows of ladders that still looked like that, Zhang Yang was apprehensive and launched the order to attack again, so that these ladders could be tried in the war.

When the first ladder leaned against the city wall and was firmly nailed in, and the soldiers in the army climbed up the ladder one by one, Zhang Yang, who had been paying attention to this side and seeing this scene in its entirety, couldn't help but stand up happily.

He didn't expect that he would really succeed, which would mean that the advantage of the enemy's ice wall was gone, and he returned to the original state of the war.

Of course, there are some different places, such as the part of the city wall that has been destroyed and collapsed by Zhang Yangjun on the first day still exists, Lu Bu didn't think about repairing it, on the evening of the first day, he thought about repairing the city wall first and then watering and freezing, but he was told that it is not difficult to repair the city wall, but it takes time for it to dry up and solidify, and during this time, it is naturally impossible to freeze, in this case, there are only two options, or give up forming an ice wall, but then the gap in the city wall will be completely exposed to Zhang Yangjun's eyes, They could have continued the results of the first day and built on it, or they would have made the latter choice as they have now, ignoring the gap, so that now the gap is also frozen, of course, in this case, Zhang Yangjun has no way to take advantage of the gap, because it is too slippery, and the soldiers are not stable at all, which is worse than other places.

But now that Zhang Yangjun has changed the ladder and can be firmly nailed to the ice, this gap has once again become a weakness and weakness, just like the last moment of the first day, more and more Zhang Yangjun soldiers have climbed this gap, which has become the most advantageous place to break through Pingzhou City, and Lu Bu has to lead his men and horses here again to intercept and drive away.

Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd flew back and forth, each time it inevitably took at least one life, and his body was already splashed with blood, but it was all the blood of the enemy.

His bravery frightened the enemy, and greatly boosted the morale of his soldiers, after yesterday's day of cultivation, except for those who died and were seriously injured and dying, most of them have recovered their combat effectiveness, although now the combat strength is less than 1,500, but all of them are alive and vigorous, under the leadership of Lu Bu, they have relied on manpower to defend this huge gap.

Seeing this scene, Lu Bu threw away a soldier of Zhang Yang's army who pounced on him, looked at the smug Zhang Yang under the city and sneered: "Do you think it's only that simple?" ”

Then his hand, which was not holding a halberd, suddenly jerked upward, and then everyone saw that a towering object suddenly appeared on the top of the city, and some people had not yet figured out the situation, but some had already seen some clues.

When Zhang Yang saw this scene, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he had already seen what it was - he was still worried that there was no gun car, but he didn't expect the gun car to appear, but it was a pity that it appeared in the enemy camp, and they were still condescending at this time.

Although it is limited to the narrowness of the city wall of Pingzhou, there is no way to install too many catapults at one time, but once the power of these artillery trucks is exerted, it is something that everyone dare not imagine, the place of Pingzhou City is relatively small, which is destined to be basically concentrated in one place in the siege war, so that the attack of the artillery carriage is the most advantageous one, only to see a piece of boulder thrown by this temporary simple trebuchet, those huge stones are already very heavy, plus the huge elasticity of the artillery cart, the power is terrible, Each one thrown into the city was bound to cause a large number of deaths, and the sound of wailing and inhaling cold air sounded in Zhang Yang's army almost at the same time.

This artillery carriage is actually just a temporary construction, just when there are materials, Lu Bu thought of it again, so he built it first in case of emergency, and the reason why Lu Bu wanted to put it at this time to suddenly show up is to let Zhang Yang's army suddenly slip when his morale was at its highest, so that Zhang Yang sighed regretfully when he saw that he was about to succeed, only fundamentally and psychologically eliminating the enemy's fighting spirit is the most clever means of combat.
