Zhang Liang nodded when he heard this, this time the two of them were ordered to go to Yinling to explore the way, but they did not achieve any results, but they lost a hundred soldiers in vain, and they withdrew like this, it was really a very shameless thing, how could a young and vigorous young man endure such humiliation.

"Since Brother Tao has made up his mind, then capture the Yin Tomb and kill the Jin army to avenge the soldiers who died in battle." Zhang Liang firmly supported Taowu's decision.

Seeing that Zhang Liang supported him, Tao Wu looked back at the soldiers behind him, and shouted: "Soldiers, take the Yin Tomb, and rob the property and women at will." ”

"Roar, roar, roar!" When the Hu cavalry saw that the city was broken, they could rob property and women at will, and roared excitedly.

Although the Yinling city is short, the height is less than one zhang, but the cavalry is sure not to cross it, at this time the city gate has been closed, if you want to capture the city, you can only erect a cloud ladder to attack.

The cavalry led by Tao Wu and Zhang Liang naturally did not bring a ladder, but the system of the ladder was quite simple, and it only needed to cut down some trunks and branches with thick arms and tie them up with ropes.

Although this kind of temporary simple ladder is not strong enough, it does not affect the use, and the most important thing is that it is fast and convenient, and it can be done quickly.

In less than half an hour, ten simple ladders appeared outside the south gate of Yinling City, and Tao Wu and Zhang Liang were mobilizing men and horses to prepare for the siege.

And Hua An and the others on the opposite city wall are also fully prepared, only three or four steps wide on the city wall, full of all kinds of defensive materials, rolling wood, stone is naturally indispensable.

Seeing that the enemy army under the city was ready to attack the city, Hua Anxia was still quite shocked, after all, the other party was just a light cavalry, and their advantage was reflected in the reconnaissance of the enemy, and after the big victory, the pursuit and escape of the enemy, instead of attacking the city, commanding the light cavalry to attack the city, completely unable to give full play to the advantages of the light cavalry, is a very waste of resources stupid way to play.

The commander of the enemy army in front of him actually used the light cavalry under his command to attack the city, Hua An felt that there were only two more reasonable explanations, one was that the hundred soldiers under his command were annihilated, and he couldn't swallow the evil breath in his heart, so he must attack the city to find himself desperately.

The second is that in their eyes, the Jin army is just a group of sheep to be slaughtered, with low combat power, which can be described as vulnerable, and they have several times the advantage of troops, and it is not difficult to capture Yinling.

These two reasons, no matter which one they are, show the arrogance of the enemy soldiers and soldiers, and they don't take the Jin army seriously at all.

The enemy army under the city was already adjusting the attack formation, and Hua An had a premonition that the enemy's siege was about to begin, so he reminded loudly: "Soldiers, cheer up and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

######

At the moment when Hua'an reminded the defenders of the city to defend against the enemy, Tao Wu and Zhang Liang were ready to attack.

Now, their strength is more than 1,900 people, and only ten of them were made in a hurry, Taowu and Zhang Liang discussed and decided that each ladder was equipped with 100 soldiers, and 10 ladders were 1,000 soldiers, and they were responsible for forcibly attacking the city.

The remaining 900 cavalry were in charge of covering, and they would gallop under the city on horseback, occasionally shooting the Jin troops on the city walls with bows and arrows, so as to cover the soldiers who ascended the city.

Seeing that the ten attack queues were ready, Momowu raised his gun and ordered: "Siege the city, kill ......"

"Kill ......"

Suddenly, a thousand soldiers divided into ten teams, set up a cloud ladder and roared towards Yinling City, and the nine hundred cavalry who were responsible for covering behind also drew bows and arrows and slowly followed behind.

The 100 soldiers belonging to each ladder are composed of sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and crossbowmen, of which pikemen account for most of them, and the sword and shield soldiers and crossbowmen are only thirty percent in total.

#######

The enemy army rushed towards Yinling City like a tide, and soon entered the range of bows and arrows, Hua'an naturally did not relent, and shouted loudly: "Release the arrows." ”

"Whoosh ......"

A rain of arrows struck, and the enemy troops under the city could not dodge, and immediately fell to the ground, and painful wails came from time to time.

But this could not stop the enemy's advance, under the cover of a small number of sword and shield soldiers, the enemy still advanced forward in the rain of arrows, and after a while, the crossbowmen among the enemy troops also began to shoot at the Jin army on the city wall.

Many Jin archers who leaned out were killed by the crossbows fired from the city, but under the cover of the female wall at the head of the city, the losses of the Jin army were obviously much less than those of the enemy.

After paying a lot of price, the enemy successfully advanced to the bottom of the city wall, and a simple ladder was also erected on the city wall, and the soldiers around the ladder began to climb upward.

"Soldiers, smash them with stones." Huaan ordered loudly.

Suddenly, huge stones poured down from the city wall, causing considerable losses to the enemy troops who were climbing along the ladder, and from time to time the brains of the enemy soldiers were bursting with smashing.

However, the city wall was only less than a zhang, and Hua'an soon found that the power of the stones tilting down was obviously not as obvious as in the battle of Thundercloud Castle, after all, the height of the city wall was half shorter, and the potential energy of the stones was fifty percent weaker.

Moreover, due to the short size of the walls, the enemy soldiers only had to climb a short distance to reach the walls, which put a lot of pressure on the under-armed defenders.

The most tricky thing is that the enemy's covering forces have been pressed up, and a full 900 Zhao cavalry with bows and arrows are galloping back and forth outside the city, and shooting at the Jin troops defending on the city wall in motion.

Although it was shooting in motion, it was not accurate, and the soldiers of the Jin army defending on the city wall were so pressed that they couldn't raise their heads, and from time to time some soldiers were shot by arrows and fell down the city.

However, it was difficult for the archers of the Jin army to shoot at the moving enemy cavalry, although Hua'an's pro-battalion Left Brigade was the elite division of the Great Jin, and it was trained hard at ordinary times, and the soldiers' archery skills were also first-class.

But their usual training is aimed at stationary arrow targets, although they can shoot the red heart every time, but in the face of the Zhao cavalry moving back and forth under the city, the soldiers' accurate archery skills are suddenly a little out of order, and the probability of hitting the enemy is greatly reduced.

The arrows of the enemy army under the city are constantly shooting, and the archers of the Jin army are difficult to aim and shoot calmly in order to avoid the bows and arrows shot by the enemy.

If this continues, the enemy will run out of arrows without killing a few, and once the arrows are used up, the shape will be even more passive.

"Stop firing with bows and crossbows, don't care about the enemy's cavalry, and defend the walls with all your might." Huaan shouted.

Suddenly, the Jin army's crossbows immediately stopped firing, and the archers crouched down to dodge the enemy's arrows.

Without the archers of the Jin army, the arrogance of the enemy cavalry under the city suddenly became more arrogant, and a large number of arrows were fired more intensively.

Hua An thought for a moment, and immediately made a decision, dividing all the soldiers defending the city into ten groups to block the soldiers who climbed up the enemy's ten ladders. Each group of more than 50 soldiers took turns to fight in three groups, so as to preserve the body, and the other positions on the city wall did not need to be guarded, and at the same time, it was strictly ordered that all soldiers should not lean their bodies out of the female wall, otherwise they would be dealt with by military law.

This strategy really greatly reduced the casualties of their own side, but the damage to the enemy was also extremely light, except for climbing up the ladder to the enemy, they would be ruthlessly killed by the soldiers defending the city, and the enemy troops under the city were not threatened in any way.

In this way, neither side suffered much loss, which can be described as a delaying tactic, and Hua'an's purpose in doing this is to drag the enemy down and drag him out, and then make a counterattack when the enemy army is sleepy and tired, so as to kill and wound a large number of enemy troops.

#######

For Jin Jun's dodging and dodging style of play, Tao Wu and Zhang Liang are both angry, according to this style of play, when will they have to fight, but they are helpless for a while, so they have to be in a hurry.

"It's really hateful, the Jin army is as cowardly as a mouse, all of them are hiding behind the female wall, and if they continue to fight like this, they are afraid that they will not be able to capture the city at sunset." Zhang Liang scolded angrily.

"So what, our army has just lost more than 100 soldiers, and it just retreated, how can the commander explain it." Taowu was also helpless, but he was obviously unwilling to give up.

They held each other for more than an hour, and the losses on both sides were not large, but the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the soldiers on both sides suddenly had a bit of a dry mouth.

The people of Yinling City spontaneously sent tea to the defenders to quench their thirst, so that the spirit of the soldiers defending the city was greatly invigorated, and the enemy troops under the city were bitter, there was no moat in Yinling City, and there was no water source within ten miles outside the south gate, and thirst plagued the enemy soldiers besieging the city, so that their spirits were sluggish.

The sun overhead continued to scorch the earth, as if it was about to evaporate all the moisture in the air, and the parched enemy soldiers could no longer support it, and there were no soldiers climbing up the ten ladders, and no matter how the officers reprimanded them, it was useless, because they were too tired.

Seeing that the soldiers refused to fight because of the weather, Tao Wu and Zhang Liang were also helpless, after all, soldiers are also people, they are not iron, and they will be weak in the heat and hunger and thirst.

"Brother Tao, let's withdraw first! It is too hot, and it will be extremely detrimental to our army if it drags on like this. Zhang Liang said loudly.

Tao Wu licked his chapped lips and said hatefully: "If you retreat without success, how can you be willing, hateful, hateful." ”

"Retreat." Taowu shouted, his tone full of unwillingness.

The soldiers who were resting for a while under Yinling City saw that Taowu had given the order to retreat, and they were greatly relieved, and hurriedly got up and retreated.

"Big brother, the enemy army has retreated, and the enemy army has retreated." Iron Bull shouted excitedly.

Hua An smiled indifferently, the time he was waiting for had finally come, not to make a move at this time, but when.

"Soldiers, lift up the stones and smash them at the enemy, and shoot with all your bows and crossbows." Huaan ordered loudly.

When the Jin soldiers heard the order, they immediately rushed forward, picked up the stones and threw them at the enemy troops who had not yet withdrawn from the city, while the crossbowmen frantically shot arrows at the retreating enemy.

Suddenly, there was a wail under the city, and the slow enemy soldiers were smashed to pieces by stones, while the fast enemy soldiers were shot in the back with bows and arrows, and they were killed.

Tao Wu and Zhang Liang witnessed the qi qi in front of them, and gritted their teeth angrily, they never expected that the Jin soldiers who were hiding behind the female wall a moment ago suddenly rushed out and shot at their subordinates at this time, and when they retreated, they took a hard bite, and this bite was very painful, and at least more than 200 unsuspecting soldiers died on the spot.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

There was a sound of trembling in the distance, and Hua An looked up into the distance, and couldn't help but look happy.
