After a section of the moat was filled, the Taimarching side also laid a layer of wooden planks at the crossing point where the straw bags and dirt were piled up. With the paving of wooden planks, the wheels of the siege ladder, which is not small, will not be stuck in the wet mud and cannot move.

After completing these tasks, the fleet of wagons quickly disbanded, gave way to the paved road, and moved to another location as soon as possible to begin the filling of the moat again.

At this time, the command flag in Zhang Mad's hand waved, and the drum suddenly became high. Alerted by the sound of drums, twenty siege ladders were pushed up one after another, and came to the front of the filled river crossing point, and lined up in order.

Seeing the Taixing army dispatching the siege ladder, Du Feng was also obviously nervous. He gave an order to let the soldiers under the city ascend to the top of the city, and prepare to resist the troops who ascended the city of Taixing. These troop deployment actions in the city were clearly seen by the nest car guards who were responsible for watching the movements in the city on the side of the Taixing army.

When the nest car, which was more than five feet high, transmitted the information of the enemy's large-scale landing on the city to Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang ordered the flag to change, and a "woo woo" horn sound sounded in the army.

Hearing this voice, the Taixing Army crossbowmen, who had originally just maintained their shooting intensity at will, suddenly took out their maximum firing speed and launched three rounds of continuous fire in just a few moments!

It was an unexpected blow!

The Pingtao defenders, who had just ascended to the top of the city, had not yet found a good position to avoid arrows, and they were hit by a sudden dense rain of arrows. When they finally calmed down from the attack of the enemy arrow rain and wanted to retaliate against the exposed Taixing archers, the enemy attack was over.

Under the baptism of three rounds of thousands of arrows, the defenders at the head of the city were killed more than 10 people, and more than 60 were wounded. Don't underestimate this number, you know. This number can occur in a short period of time of half a pillar of incense, which is more than three times the casualties caused by the defenders in the previous hour of fierce fighting!

After suffering such a small loss, Du Feng's face became more and more ugly. Fortunately, the Tai marching army could only attack from one direction. Du Feng believed that his troops were quite sufficient, and he didn't care too much about the casualty figures just now. It's just that for the weakness of his own lack of battlefield command experience. Du Feng can be regarded as having a positive lesson.

The vignette is over. But the battle continues.

The Tai Xing army took a small advantage and was not satisfied. With a mad order, the six wells were pushed forward by dozens of people. The height of these wells is more than four zhang, which has exceeded the height of Pingtao County. The platform on top of the well is large enough for four or five elite shooters to shoot.

Although the number of six wells is not much, if twenty or thirty elite archers are concentrated near a section of the city wall, it is enough to cover this section of the city wall.

Seeing the Taixing Army's Jing Xuan approaching step by step, Du Feng changed his command location to a safe area while ordering the mobilization of more crossbowmen. Cast a baptism of arrows at the approaching wells. The archers on both sides were separated by a distance of only thirty paces, and launched a consuming fire, and for a while, the arrows between the arrow tower of the city wall and the well were like flying locusts, so that the casualties on both sides skyrocketed.

As a defensive side, the Pintao defenders had a clear advantage in the number of marksmen. However, after a quarter of an hour of shooting, Du Feng was surprised to find out. The 100 shooters mobilized by their own side were not able to suppress the enemy with less than 30 people?

- What's going on?

The reason is just one person.

This one is alone. The strong man who reversed the situation of numerical disadvantage was none other than Tai Shici, who was the first in archery in the Tai Marching Army.

In the well where Tai Shici was, there were a total of six people on the shooting platform. However, the other five people are only doing one thing, and that is to wind the crossbow in their hands. Then hand the well-wound crossbow machine to Tai Shici. In this way, Tai Shi Ci did not have to waste his strength to wind the crossbow machine. Tai Shici, who was specifically responsible for shooting, gave full play to his terrifying archery skills, and almost every arrow was fired. There will be something to gain.

In just a quarter of an hour in the past, Tai Shi Ci shot more than 100 arrows, killed more than 10 people on the spot, killed and wounded more than 60 people, and with the strength of only one person, he crippled the enemy on the opposite side. The price of such a brilliant result is nothing more than three arrows nailed to Tai Shici's body. With the penetrating power contained in these arrows, they could not even pierce the double fish scale armor that Tai Shi Ci was wearing.

When the results of the battle reached the command platform, Zhang Qiang laughed with great satisfaction, and praised:

"Ziyi's divine shot can be described as Li Guang's reincarnation!"

Time goes on.

In the middle of the day, the Taixing army had already paved the moat in the west and paved more than ten river crossing points. With so many river crossing points, in fact, the time for the Taixing army to let the cloud ladder ascend to the city is ripe. However, the arrogance did not immediately launch a full-scale general offensive. He was still waiting for a better time.

As soon as the order flag of the Taixing army's main formation waved, and when it was reorganized in the rear for a long time, a group of fresh troops who had finished their meals immediately stepped forward to replace the team of shooters who had suffered a lot of casualties in the previous fierce battle. Seeing that the enemy began to rotate, Du Feng felt that his defenders were also tired, and also issued an order to prepare the strong private soldiers under the city wall, and began to defend the city, replacing the county soldiers who had been fighting hard for a long time, tired and hungry.

This handover process was immediately seen by the Taixing Army observation post on the nest car. The observation post hurriedly informed the command station of this information. As soon as Zhang Yan heard the news, he immediately stood up and looked at it from a distance. After discovering the small chaos that appeared at the head of the city, Zhang Arrogant decisively ordered the ladder to attack!

The people who are responsible for pushing the ladder are all selected calm and experienced people. Most of these civilians who have experienced the blood of the battlefield cannot participate in direct combat, but they are enough to face the enemy's arrows without wavering, and complete the task of pushing the ladder to the city.

These people, three hundred and fifty paces from the rear of the siege of the city, had rested for a morning. Half an hour ago, they were still eating salty and salty dried meat and buns, and they finished their delicious meal. At this moment, it is the time when the people's spirits are full and their morale is high.

So, with an arrogant order, the sound of drums and horns sounded at the same time. After the order to set off came, each ladder was pushed by twenty strong men with all their might, so that the ladder, which was not light, moved quickly. Before the Pingtao defenders could react, most of the twenty ladders had already passed through the gap in the moat and came to the edge of the city wall.

"Putter! Pushrod! Knock down the ladder! ”

"Where's the oil? Pour the oil! Burn them! ”

In the face of this sudden attack, Du Feng shouted hoarsely and commanded, intending to prepare the defenders. I have to say that Du Feng's organizational skills are not bad. Although there was a slight confusion at the head of the city, it was not serious. The entire defense system is generally quite complete.

However, for this wave of attacks, the Tai Marching Army had already planned, how could the defenders complete the garrison task so easily?

Just as the ladder was sprinting, the Taixing archer launched a second wild shot with all his strength to cover the ladder's advance.

Speaking of which, this wild shooting is actually quite dangerous. You know, there is a limit to how accurate an arrow can be. When the siege soldiers are already close to the city, it is very likely that the arrows fired from the rear will not land on the head of the city due to lack of accuracy or strength, but will fall on the body of the own siege soldiers.

Although the shooters of the Taixing Army had undergone strict training in advance, accidental injuries were still inevitable. Seven or eight unarmored men and two or three soldiers wearing only thin armor fell victim to the rain of arrows.

Of course, these accidental injuries are still worth the results caused by the shooters. It's just that this kind of thing is not a small dampening to morale. If there were two or three more appearances, no one would dare to be the vanguard of the attack.

When the surviving Pingtao defenders, after dodging the rain of arrows, faced with the ladder that began to lean against the city wall, they naturally inevitably panicked. Fortunately, Bingzhou has always been a place of frequent wars, and whether it is a county soldier or a strong private soldier, there are veterans who have fought for many years as the backbone. Even if you don't check it for a while and suffer a small loss, you won't be helpless.

However, a moment of panic gave the besieging side an excellent opportunity to enter the city.

A series of ladders, successfully leaning against the not very high city wall. The group of thugs who had been waiting under the ladder for a long time rushed towards the city in one breath at this moment, holding swords and shields, wearing light armor, and rushing towards the city in one breath!

Dian Wei carried two large iron halberds and climbed the ladder silently. In order to speed up his movement, he did not wear three layers of armor as usual. However, he has the double iron halberd in his hand to protect it with all his strength, and the effect is no less than that of a shield. A few sporadic random arrows were easily knocked away by the big iron halberd, and did not cause any damage to Dian Wei.

It's just that because of the weight too much, every time Dian Wei takes a step, the wood of the ladder emits a "squeak" movement, which is very shaking, making the people behind Dian Wei a little worried, for fear that the ladder will collapse if he is not careful.

As for Guan Yu, this time, due to the restrictions of the venue, he did not take his beloved Qinglong Yanyue Knife, but changed into a standard sword and shield hand equipment. A ring-headed knife and a big shield, in terms of weight, it is much lighter than Dian Wei. With the cover of the big shield, Guan Yu took the lead and rushed to the city, vowing to get the name of the first to ascend!

The heavy generals in the army who attacked together with Dian Wei and Guan Yu, the two "10,000 enemies", and Xu Huang. The time when he ascended the ladder was only a little later than Dian Wei and Guan Yu. Although his strength is slightly inferior to Dian Wei and Guan Yu, Xu Huang is more proficient in leading troops. Therefore, when he attacked, he did not blindly rely on individual bravery, but paid attention to team cooperation.

Xu Huang held a shield in one hand and a short axe in the other, and led his henchmen to form a team to climb the city, steadily advancing step by step. Judging from the purge of the climbing team, the ladder where Xu Huang is located can undoubtedly be ranked first.

The three fierce generals, each ascending three ladders, launched a fierce attack on the city head almost at the same time. The determination of the arrogant to Pingtao City in one fell swoop can be seen from this! (To be continued......)
