Chapter 265: The First Offensive of the Jibei Army (2)

Feather arrows rained down from the city wall, and the soldiers of the Jibei Army fell down with a wail at the feet of the soldiers of Yanyunzhai, and soon became a stepping stone for their comrades. The first ladder leaning on the city wall did not pose any threat to the city, and it was pushed away by the soldiers of Yanyunzhai who defended the city with a hook before it was set up at the head of the city. The ladder is pushed perpendicular to the ground in mid-air and then slowly falls backwards, as slow as in a movie, but soon gets faster and faster as the angle of inclination decreases.

There was a bang on the ladder on the ground, and the soldiers of the Jibei Army who were hanging on the ladder before they had time to jump away were smashed under the ladder, and with the sound of broken ribs, the internal organs of several of them were also smashed into a mess in the stomach.

The soldier who was smashed below vomited blood, and there were small pieces of minced flesh in the thick blood that came out of his mouth, and it was not known whether it was the lobes of the lungs or the spleen and stomach.

Peng Zhen roared loudly and ordered the soldiers to rush forward, while ordering the archers to continuously press forward to attack the defenders of Yanyunzhai on the city wall. It's just that the bamboo bow in the hands of the Jibei Army is obviously more than a step worse than the Great Sui Mansion Soldier Hard Bow in the hands of the defenders of Yanyunzhai, and the archers of the Jibei Army who lack training are not comparable to the soldiers of Yanyunzhai at all. Their only advantage was that there were enough archers.

To make a qualified composite hard bow, the cycle from material selection to production is very slow. The bamboo bow is different, although the feather arrows shot out are light and fluttering, but because of the low cost and simple production, the soldiers of the Jibei Army almost have one.

The dense feather arrows caused a lot of trouble to the Yanyunzhai soldiers on the city wall, because of the low height of the city wall, the bamboo bow could also shoot people to death. Fortunately, the soldiers of Yanyunzhai did not lack protective gear, and the thick leather armor on their bodies could prevent the feather arrows from drilling into their bodies.

Peng Zhen was the leader of Wang Boxin's recent promotion, and in order to gain a firm foothold in the Jibei army, he took the initiative to ask to lead the army to launch the first offensive. I also like this energetic young subordinate Wang Bo very much, this young man who is only twenty-two years old this year is not only extraordinary in martial arts, but also extremely courageous. Compared with those old fritters who first followed Wang Bo to raise the banner and rebel, Wang Bo admired the sharpness of this young man very much.

And got Wang Bo's respect, Peng Zhen also had a determination to die as a confidant.

Seeing that his subordinates were suppressed by the defenders of Yanyun Village and it was difficult to advance under the city wall, Peng Zhen suddenly became anxious.

"Where's the ram? Why haven't you come up yet! ”

He asked, turning around and roaring like a beast.

"General! Those cunning guys in Yanyun Village have dug a lot of traps on the official road, and the city hammer can't be pushed up at all! ”

Someone replied in a loud voice.

"Then fill in Lao Tzu! Fill in all the traps, you must push the hammer up, if you can't get up within half an hour, Lao Tzu will cut off your heads first! ”

The soldiers of the Jibei Army who heard the order immediately divided a part, and they could not find the tools to transport the soil, so they had to take off their clothes and wrap the soil and rush forward, but in this way, the soldiers who did not have protective gear themselves were more dangerous when facing the feather arrows. Feathered arrows easily tore through their thin sheets, then their skin, followed by an internal organc.

After falling to the ground, before he was completely dead, he was lifted up by his companions and used as a stone into a trap. The hundreds of soldiers of the Jibei Army behind shouted and pushed the second ram up, and the wooden wheel ran over the people who were cushioned in the horse trap and immediately squeezed out a stream of blood. The corpse was crushed by the heavy ram and folded in half like a shrimp, while the crushed part was flattened to the point of leaving only two layers of flesh.

The soldiers of the Jibei Army who carried the soil and cushioned the pit died in pieces, and after paying the price of three or four hundred people, they finally flattened the traps on the official road. The heavy and massive ram slowly made its way towards the city gate, the chains hanging from the huge trees creaking and groaning.

"Bring me all the lime powder that has been wrapped!"

Xiong Kuohai ordered loudly.

Immediately, hundreds of cloth bags the size of eggplants were transported, and the rope that tied the cloth bags left a section of about a meter, and with the order of the majestic sea, the soldiers picked up the cloth bags and picked them up like windmills, and then threw them violently in the direction of the ram. Hundreds of cloth bags fell from the sky, and the cloth bags smashed on the ground and the punch of the city smashed the lime powder and immediately rose, and soon this area was turned white by the lime powder, and the soldiers of the Jibei Army who were fascinated by their eyes screamed, covering their eyes and jumping back and forth.

Lime powder blinds the eyes, unless you wash it with vegetable oil, there is no way at all, if you wash it with water, you will immediately burn your eyes blind, but at this time, where can those soldiers of the Jibei Army go to find vegetable oil?

……

……

Vegetable oil is available, but the soldiers of the Jibei Army who are blinded by lime powder can't get it. As more and more soldiers of the Jibei Army climbed the ladder, Xiong Kuohai loudly ordered the soldiers to pour the already boiling vegetable oil down. The hot vegetable oil was poured on the head, and the soldiers of the Jibei Army who climbed the ladder immediately fell off the ladder. The soldiers who were drenched in boiling oil screamed and rolled on the ground, and in an instant the hair on the top of their heads fell off with the rolling.

Someone tried to pull the soldier from the ground who had been splashed with boiling oil, but as soon as he pulled the man's arm hard, he immediately rubbed off a layer of flesh, and the slimy flesh was disgusting in the palm of his hand. The soldiers of Jibei County, who were rolling back and forth on the ground, covered their faces and wailed, and when he let go of his hands, his face was all glued to his palms, and his eyelids were burned to grayish. And as they howled and breathed, their lips, which were burned like pierced window paper, fluttered.

The gray heat rose, and there was a smell of meat wafting in it!

"The ram must be stopped! Archers, rockets to shoot! ”

Xiong Kuohai pointed to the big guy dozens of meters away from the city gate and shouted, and hundreds of soldiers of the Jibei Army took over the comrades who were blinded by lime powder, pushing the city hammer to start slowly again. They lowered their heads and gritted their teeth, not daring to raise their heads to look at the enemy on the city walls. Around the ram was a circle of soldiers holding shields, and they were densely packed together, raising the shields in their hands high and forming a whole.

With a buzz, hundreds of rockets burst in. The flames floated backwards in mid-air, and then smashed the heads of the soldiers of the Jibei Army.

In the first, second, and third rounds, in just a few minutes, at least a thousand rockets poured into the position of the ram, and the shield made of wooden planks soon burst into flames, and even the wooden wheel of the ram began to burst into flames. Seeing that they were about to be pushed to the city gate, the soldiers of the Jibei Army naturally refused to give up. Some of them lifted the soil from the ground with both hands to extinguish the fire, while others simply took off their clothes and slapped the flames.

In this way, the smoky and flaming ram slowly approached the city gate.

Xu Shiji squinted his eyes and sighed as he looked at the rushing hammer that was getting closer and closer.

"Wang Bo's soldiers and horses attacked too fiercely, if they were hit by the city gate by the city hammer, I was afraid that the city would not be protected."

Cheng Zhijie said with some concern, and then he walked to Xu Shiji's side and sighed softly: "If the city is broken later, I will take my brothers to protect the military division and kill it while the chaos is there." ”

Xu Shiji waved his hand and said, "If the city gate is broken so easily, Yanyunzhai is really not worthy of my admiration." Have you forgotten that Li Xian brought more than 6,000 elite horsemen this time? The cavalry is not good at defending the city, it happens to be used at this time, it seems that Wang Bo's men and horses are attacking very fiercely but the front and back are disjointed, and the elite cavalry of Yanyunzhai only needs to kill a charge, and they can kill the Jibei army that protects the hammer of the city. ”

As he spoke, Xu Shiji looked at Li Xian.

……

……

Li Xian didn't need to use the elite cavalry of the Ruijin Battalion, because in his opinion, it was not yet time to use the cavalry. It is still of great use for him to keep the Ruijin Camp, and when to use it, even Li Xian himself does not know the exact time, he is waiting, he has to wait. No matter how fierce the first offensive of the Jibei Army was, Li Xian would not consider using the cavalry so quickly for the time being.

"This Wang Bo is too conceited."

Xu Shiji sighed lightly: "He has an army of 150,000, but he only stormed the east gate of Sucheng. If he was testing the city's defenses, then the casualties were too great. If all four gates are attacked, I am afraid that with Li Xian's current troops, he will already be overstretched. ”

Cheng Zhijie nodded and said: "Wang Bo also has the root of conceit, even if the 150,000 army only storms one gate, after the hammer comes up, it will still be able to capture Sucheng." ”

Xu Shiji glanced at Li Xian again and frowned slightly: "It's already this time, why hasn't he sent out the cavalry?" ”

Li Xian looked at the vast sea, but did not speak.

At this time, Xiong Kuohai's forehead was already covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.

"Throw guns!"

He shouted loudly, and immediately hundreds of soldiers of the Houtu battalion guarding near the city gate tower immediately grabbed the throwing guns that had been placed by his side a long time ago. Xiong Kuohai gave an order, and hundreds of throwing guns smashed fiercely at the city ram, which was already less than twenty meters away from the city gate. At this distance, the lethality of the throwing gun is much greater than that of the feather arrow!

The sound of popping was endless, and the soldiers of the Jibei Army, whose shields had been burned by rockets, were nailed to death one after another, and the dense throwing guns were heavy and sharp, which could directly penetrate the human body and then nail it to the ground. After a round of gun throwing, there were very few soldiers of the Jibei Army who pushed the city hammer!

"If only there were a few bed crossbows!"

Xiong Kuohai wiped the sweat on his forehead and sighed in his heart.

"Push sandbags!"

He strode in the direction of the city gate tower, and then pushed down the sandbags stacked on the city wall with the soldiers guarding the city, and soon, a small hill was piled up in front of the city gate, and in only ten minutes, the city gate was blocked from the outside!
