Chapter 25: The Siege

"Woo Woo ......"

The rain of arrows finally fell from the sky, and the recruits fell one by one.

When the recruit who had just peed outside the city was proud, a piercing pain suddenly hit his crotch, and when he looked down urgently, he saw that his words had already been pierced by a feather arrow, and blood suddenly gushed out of the wound like a fountain, and the recruit immediately screamed like a pig: "Ahhh......h

"Oh damn it, my eyes, help, help me......"

The other recruit covered his eyes tightly, and a feathered arrow was stuck between his fingers, and red blood gushed from it, and after only two screams, the recruit fell to the ground in a pool of blood.

Not far away, another recruit was even more unlucky, he was directly shot through the head by the volley of feather arrows, sharp arrows from the door of the head, and straight through the back of the head, red blood and white brains were gushing out of the wound cut by the three-edged arrow cluster, the recruit didn't even say a word, and fell headlong on the city.

The other two recruits standing next to them were startled when they saw this, and turned to run, but before they could run a few steps, another wave of arrows fell from the sky and nailed them to the top of the city.

Soon, a continuous wail sounded over the head of Shouchun City.

The recruits, who had neither iron armor and shields to protect themselves, but also lacked experience in self-protection, were severely damaged under the first two waves of arrows of the Han archers, and at least 200 of the more than 500 recruits guarding the city fell in pools of blood, and at least 50 of them were shot on the spot, forever losing the opportunity to grow into a veteran.

However, under the threat of death, the recruits also quickly learned how to protect themselves.

When the third wave of arrows of the Han archers fell, in addition to the stunned muscles in their heads, most of the recruits found a place to hide, and those who couldn't find a place to hide did not stand and wait for death, but dragged the recruits who had been shot prematurely to cover their bodies, among them, one of the recruits was dragged away as a meat shield before he even lost his breath.

Seeing this cold and cruel scene, the veterans laughed silently.

There has never been iron and blood on the battlefield, there has never been mercy and mercy, only if the heart is ruthless enough and the hands are black enough, it is possible to survive the cruel war!

After shooting twelve arrows, the Han archers began to retreat.

The veterans of the Chu army, who had been counting in their hearts for a long time, suddenly stood up from behind the battlements and from under the shields, one by one with their heads held high and their mouths wide open, while slapping their ** loudly, they roared wildly at the Han army archers under the city, and demonstrated loudly, and a small number of Chu army archers took the opportunity to hold their bows and arrows to pay tribute to the Han army.

The Han archers quickly withdrew to the rear, almost unscathed.

The next moment, the Han army armor soldiers in front of the formation spread out to both sides, and then thousands of light soldiers swarmed out of the formation, each light soldier carried a sack, each sack was filled with soil, and after the battle, they rushed towards the moat outside Shouchun City.

Although the archers of the Chu army desperately suppressed, they could not stop the Han army at all, and in less than half an hour, the Han army light soldiers filled several passages in the moat, and then the horn sound in the Han army's formation rose again, and in the desolate and distant horn sound, thousands of dead soldiers wearing Ge clothes and slanting hair buns pushed six ladders and a siege vehicle surging out.

At the head of Shouchun City, the veterans of the Chu army also drew their swords one after another and rushed to the battlements.

The fierce siege battle finally began, and the six ladders approached the city wall almost at the same time, and then dozens of strong dead soldiers began to struggle to pull the ladder cables, arrows, rolling logs and stones rained down from the city, and the dead soldiers of the Han army continued to scream and fall to the ground, but soon, more dead soldiers were replaced.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!"

In the sound of the trumpet of the dead soldiers of the Han army, the upper half of the movable ladder that was originally folded and pressed on the fixed ladder began to rise slowly with the top of the machine bracket as the axis, and in less than a moment, the live ladder was completely erected, and then slowly tilted towards the head of Shouchun City, and finally pressed on the head of the city, and the upper and lower two ladders were connected into an inclined passage directly to the head of the city!

In the next moment, hundreds of dead soldiers of the Han army poured up the ladder like ants, howling and heading straight for the city.

High place, on the watchtower, Xiang Zhuang who is watching the battle can not help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients, according to historical records, this cloud ladder was invented by the famous skilled craftsman Gong Ban (Lu Ban) during the Warring States Period, since the invention of the cloud ladder, China's siege warfare has undergone revolutionary changes, and the towering city wall is no longer an insurmountable obstacle.

The dead soldiers of the Han army swarmed up the ladder, and the city soon fell into a melee of hand-to-hand combat.

Xiang Zhuang slowly pulled out the special horizontal knife that Yu Ziqi personally made for him, touched the cold blade again, and immediately shouted: "Jing Qian, Gao Chu, go, go to the city!" ”

##########

The head of the east gate of Shouchun has completely fallen into a melee at this moment.

"Kill!" The two Han soldiers were holding short swords in their hands, and they rushed up on the ladder, and before they could take the last step, they had already risen up, and they were not afraid of death to pounce on the Chu army at the head of the city.

A dead soldier of the Han army was killed on the spot, but the other dead soldier did not die immediately, accompanied by a beastly howl, the dead soldier of the Han army threw the short sword in his hand hard, and a new recruit of the Chu army in front of him could not dodge, and was hit by the throat, and he couldn't even say a word, and the new soldier of the Chu army fell in a pool of blood.

Taking advantage of the gap between the first two dead soldiers in exchange for their lives, the last two dead soldiers finally set foot on the city.

After they stepped on the city, they did not seek self-preservation, only to kill, and they did not pay attention to the sword halberd stabbed by the Chu army to themselves, they simply ignored it, they just waved their swords frantically, slashed and slashed wildly, even if they were hit by several swords and wore several halberds, as long as they still had a breath, they would fight endlessly!

The momentum of the Chu army was suddenly suppressed, and many veterans were also timid.

The veterans are still like this, and the recruits are even more unbearable, the dead soldiers of the Han army soon cleared a few pieces of territory at the head of the city, and then more dead soldiers of the Han army swarmed up on the ladder, and under the ladder, more dead soldiers of the Han army are like endless ant colonies, waiting to climb the ladder, waiting to step on the city, the situation is already precarious.

Seeing that the east gate of Shouchun was about to be lost, Xiang Zhuang's tall figure suddenly appeared on the head of the city.

When the two dead soldiers of the Han army saw a general of the Chu army wearing heavy armor suddenly appear in front of them, they suddenly burst into flames and pounced on them with a scream.

"Die!"

Xiang Zhuang held a horizontal knife just a sweep, and the two Han soldiers were beheaded on the spot, and the bloody stomach and intestines were immediately sprinkled all over the ground, but the two Han soldiers still did not lose their breath, dragging the upper half of their bodies, and struggling to raise a short sword to stab Xiang Zhuang, but they had already been beheaded by Jing Qian and Gao Chu behind Xiang Zhuang.

"Hah!"

Xiang Zhuang stabbed him again, and immediately stabbed the Han military captain in front of him again.

The two dead soldiers behind the captain of the Han military took the opportunity to assassinate Xiang Zhuang, but they were killed on the spot by Jing Qian and Gao Chu.

At the same time as drawing the knife, Xiang Zhuang took advantage of the situation and kicked hard, and the body of the Han military captain suddenly flew backwards, knocking over several dead soldiers of the Han army in a row, and then tumbling and falling off the city.

Xiang Zhuang grabbed the head of the city in two more steps, and slashed on the ladder with a knife in his hand.

The iron sheet wrapped in the exterior of the ladder can't stop the blade of the horizontal knife at all, and the horizontal knife weighs twenty pounds, and its slashing power is almost no less than that of a heavy axe, how can a thin iron sheet stop it?

With just two slashes, the ladder had been cut in two from the top.

Losing the confinement of the top barb, the upper half of the ladder quickly slipped down against the city wall, and the dozens of Han soldiers who climbed on it suddenly screamed and fell down, and the Han soldiers who were crowded at the foot of the ladder and climbed the siege did not have time to dodge, and dozens of people were immediately seriously injured.

Xiang Zhuang cut off the ladder with two knives, and then jumped on the battlement, raising his knife and howling: "Roar ......"

Behind Xiang Zhuang, Jing Qian, Gao Chu and more than 100 personal soldiers also raised their swords in their hands and roared in the sky.

"The Admiral is mighty!"

"The Admiral is mighty!"

"The Admiral is mighty!"

Under the encouragement of Xiang Zhuang, the morale of the Chu army at the head of the city was greatly boosted, and then turned back to launch a fierce counterattack against the dead soldiers of the Han army who stepped on the head of the city, with the advantage of numbers, the Chu army soon killed the dead soldiers of the Han army who climbed to the head of the city, and the blacksmiths of the Chu army who rushed to help the battle also waved the sledgehammer one after another, and smashed the other five ladders that hooked the battlements.

The situation on the battlefield suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the sound of bullhorns sounded outside the city.

In the distant and desolate sound of the horn, the dead soldiers of the Han army, who were originally crowded under the city wall, turned around one after another, pushing the broken ladders and the seriously damaged siege vehicles to slowly retreat, and the heavily armored soldiers who were originally guarding the front of the battle also suddenly rushed up, protecting the light soldiers who were retreating with thick shields.

At this point, the first siege of the Han army had been completely repulsed.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Chu army crowded on the head of the city roared one after another, and the huge sound almost shattered the eardrums of the Han army opposite, and many new soldiers of the Chu army jumped on the battlements again, or lifted their robes to pee outside the city, or pouted their butts and swayed left and right, extremely provocative and insulting.

In the distance, in the Han army's formation, Li Zuoche looked like iron.

This Xiang Zhuang is really not simple, with him and without him, the bravery shown by Chu Jun is simply incomparable, for a moment, Li Zuoche even suspected that Xiang Yu was reborn! It seems that this battle of Shouchun will really take a little more effort, but it doesn't matter, Xiang Zhuang only has a lone army, how long can it last?

What's more, he Li Zuo also has a big killing weapon in his hand, that is, Xiang Yu's head.

Li Zuoche really had some expectations, what kind of expression should the remnants of the Chu army have when they saw Xiang Yu's head? And how will it behave? I'm afraid it will fall apart in an instant! ######ps: It's Sunday again, and we're going to play again in the early morning.
