Five thousand Zhou soldiers roared in, putting ladders on the moat, and heavily armed soldiers rushed over the ladders with their shields, and quickly put the ladders together, and the follow-up soldiers spread pieces of wide and thick wooden planks onto the ladders, and soon formed twelve bridge deck passages across the moat. The Zhou army behind shouted wildly, holding the ladder and rushing through the passage, trying to put the ladder towards the city.

In order to prevent accidental injury to his own people, Zhou Jun's trebuchets and ballistas naturally stopped, and only one of the trebuchets in Shouzhou City was cast. However, the Zhou army, who had eaten a trench, was very clever, scattered and quickly rushed through the area of the trebuchet, shouting and rushing towards the city wall.

"The first defenders are on town! The arc is 60, and the eight-point arrow and seven-point arrow are fired in turn! Lin Feng shouted loudly, and an arrow in his hand shot a Zhou soldier carrying a cloud ladder to the ground.

The Shouzhou soldiers, who had been waiting for the order for a long time, jumped up, or rushed up to the city along the city gate ladder and temporary long ladder, or rushed through the deep pit in the city and climbed the rope to rush up to the city and return to their defensive position. The archers who stood at the back of the pit immediately raised their bows to the sky and shot arrows diagonally above the lun.

Rows after rows of arrows drew a large arc in the air, and then fell almost vertically, basically covering the area from the moat to the base of the city wall, enveloping the Zhou army that rushed forward with a roar.

"Dutch!" Naturally, the leading Zhou army, Du Yuhou and Du Wei, reminded and ordered loudly, but there were still many Zhou soldiers who were hit by the move and fell to the ground screaming.

"On the city, the target is in the direction of the front, shoot!" Lin Feng, who was hiding behind the pheasant, shouted loudly, and other soldiers passed this order in all directions. The defenders at the head of the city immediately got up and shot arrows at the city.

For a time, arrows were raining up and down the city, shooting at each other non-stop.

At this time, the ladder had been successfully erected, and the soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty rushed along the ladder to the upper part of the ladder.

Lin Feng leaned out between the pheasants with a big shield, discovered this situation, and immediately shouted: "The three of them cooperate!" Smash the ladder! ”

These big shields are the wooden shields that Lin Feng has made people particularly rush, slightly narrower than the distance between the two pheasants, and the side is equipped with a backward guard, and when they move forward, they can completely protect the upper body of the defenders who lean out of the city wall.

I saw a sound of "whew", countless large shields burst outward at the same time, the shield surface was almost in a straight line slightly tilted outward, a soldier on the side lifted the stone, from the bottom of the shield to the ladder or the Zhou army under the city to smash it, the rear of the most soldier held another big shield in his hand, the body of the three people guarded in.

After throwing the stone five times in a row, the soldiers on both sides of the pheasant switch divisions, the soldier who threw the stone took a breath and rested, and changed to a wooden shield, while the other soldier began to throw the stone quickly. Behind them, rows of wooden shields set up a passageway, and stones passed from the inner city wall, and at the pheasant corresponding to the inner city wall, there were also soldiers with shields in formation, quickly placing the stones that had been hoisted up by pulleys into the ground.

At first, Li Gu, the commander of the Later Zhou Dynasty, sat firmly on the high platform behind the army, watching the progress of the war. Seeing that his soldiers were approaching the city wall, and the Shouzhou army had no other powerful tricks except trebuchets, he slowly put his mind at ease. When they saw the rain of stones on the head of the city, they were shocked, and immediately relaxed, how many stones can be stored in the head of Shouzhou City, you can smash them!

However, these people soon find out that they are wrong!

The stones falling from the city rained down like hailstones, as if they could never be used up, and they had an astonishing killing effect. Those stones were at least more than three catties, and they were smashed down violently continuously, and the wooden supports on those ladders could not withstand it, the big shields could not withstand it, and the soldiers of Houzhou in the flesh could not withstand it, and let out one scream after another.

Li Gu couldn't sit still, and immediately got up and ordered: "The infantry will suspend the attack, and the siege vehicles will speed up the attack!" ”

Under the impetus of more Zhou troops, the remaining seven siege engines quickly broke out of the range of the trebuchets in the city, clumsily but kept moving straight forward to the north bank of the moat. Many Zhou soldiers shouted in unison, pushing the huge siege carts onto the ladder bridge.

The siege engines creaked and staggered forward, and the ladders were bent down a lot, making unpleasant noises, but showing no sign of breaking. The arrows and rockets fired from the head of the city could not do anything to the thick-skinned siege engines.

When Lin Feng saw this scene, he immediately stroked his forehead with his hand, secretly angry, but unfortunately there was no defensive weapon on the city at this moment, so he had to shout at the top of his voice: "Ballista, ballista, shoot the bridge!" Shoot the bridge! ”

Hearing this, Feng Jingyun on his side immediately rushed out of the shield and called out the two warriors to work together to transport one of the ballistas to the base of the city wall, and tried to adjust the angle to launch the elbow violently. The crossbow arrows with thick forearms shot out with a roar, but because of the angle, only one of the ladders behind the ladder was broken, and the siege vehicle that had already stepped on the south bank shook violently, but soon continued to move forward.

And the other ballista next to it had an even worse shooting effect, and it didn't even touch the edge of the ladder.

Lin Feng watched the siege vehicle that was more than two meters above the city wall slowly leaning over, and immediately got up and made a few gestures to the rear, while shouting, "Stones, arrows, guns, knives!" ”

The flags on the city wall danced, and the scattered shield arrays everywhere immediately changed, and they quickly set up defensive shield formations aimed at the positions of the seven siege vehicles.

About two meters away from the city, the siege vehicles that were the first to arrive stopped and waited for the other siege vehicles to arrive.

The battlefield suddenly fell silent, and everyone's attention was focused on those siege engines, and it was time to actually attack the city!

The seven siege vehicles were like seven huge wooden giants, slowly approaching the position of the city wall, and with a sound of a gong, the seven wooden giants took off their masks at the same time, and the thick trestle fell suddenly, and smashed on the pheasants at the same time, forming seven offensive passages. The Houzhou assault soldiers, dressed in armor and armor, roared wildly, and the lotus shield rushed out of the giant's head. Behind them, a steady stream of Zhou soldiers were rushing up the stairs.

"Cast!"

"Shoot!"

"Thorn!"

"Cut!"

At the moment when the trestle in front of the siege vehicle was lowered, four consecutive commands sounded, and the Shouzhou army that formed an oval formation moved, and the soldiers standing in the first row of the left and right struggled to smash the stones in their hands at the Zhou soldiers, and the left and right sides uniformly loaded their spears; While the stone smashed the opponent's shield to shake, the second row of archers in the middle of the south shot sharply and shot sharp arrows through the gap in the shield, and the Zhou army fell to the ground with a roar, and the shield array attacking the Zhou army began to scatter; At this moment, the spears on both sides stabbed at the same time, piercing through the gaps in the armor, and stabbing the soldiers who had rushed forward to the ground.

Under the all-round, three-dimensional attack, each trestle was the same, and the first batch of soldiers who rushed to the city fell one after another in a pool of blood.

After successfully curbing the momentum of the Zhou army's attack, those Tujia and the master teams supported from all over the country moved, brandished their giant blades, rushed to the trestle, and began to counterattack. The people who rushed to the front were all special soldiers, and they also ignited a sky-shattering thunderbolt and threw it into the center of the top of the siege vehicle, knocking those that had just rushed up to the ground.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Zhou army was frightened, these masters rushed up, swept away the soldiers on the entire trestle, and then stubbornly guarded the exit of the stairs and began to condescendingly block the Zhou soldiers who rushed towards the upper part of the trestle.

In an instant, the trestle of the siege vehicle turned into a checkpoint for the extension and defense of the Shouzhou city wall!

Lin Feng stood behind the shield, quickly observing the development of the situation on the battlefield, and when he saw that all the seven trestle bridges were controlled, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and ordered: "Move stones to the trestle bridge, and smash these things that don't know whether they are alive or dead!" ”

"Five more siege engines are coming!" At this time, a special soldier in charge of observing the battlefield shouted!
