On the city wall, the Zhao army was in full array. The brave Tang soldiers jumped on the ladder car one after another, and at this time, rumbling drums sounded in the center of the Tang army, and the Chinese army also cheered for the siege soldiers.

The crossbowmen of the Tang army also began to shoot arrows at the head of the city, suppressing the crossbowmen of the Zhao army who were hiding behind the battlements.

The Tang sergeant used his shield to open the flying arrows, and the arrows on Zhao Juncheng's head were swift and dense, and the protruding horse-faced walls on both sides also formed a crossfire strike. The Tang sergeant could not protect his whole body with a shield, and only climbed half of the ladder before four or five people were shot down by arrows.

However, the Tang Army's first soldiers had already landed in the city with the intention of death, and although the robes were shot down one after another, they were still attached to the city.

The first Tang soldier to climb the city wall, with five or six arrows inserted in the cowhide armor on his body, only stepped on the battlement, and was dropped under the city by more than a dozen Zhao soldiers with random spears and forks.

But with the precedent of this first person, the follow-up soldiers of the Tang Army are still in an endless stream of ascending the city. Around the ladder car, the Tang army also carried up the bamboo ladders, and more than a dozen bamboo ladders were erected on the city wall at the same time. Sergeant Tang bit the knife and climbed the bamboo ladder with both hands, but Sergeant Zhao only took a long hook and hooked it to the bamboo ladder that had just climbed the city wall, and then pushed it out.

The bamboo ladder fell backwards at once, and then I heard a series of screams on the bamboo ladder, and the Tang soldiers who climbed on the bamboo ladder rolled down directly from the top like pouring beans.

And there were people on the top of the city who were screaming and rolling down, and slamming heavily on the half-boats below the city walls that were covering the soldiers digging the walls.

Hearing a snap, the Tang sergeant who was digging the wall glanced back, only to see a robe with blood on half of his head, and his eyes bulging out. This tragic scene made more than a dozen Tang soldiers who were digging the wall with shovels all the time, swallowed their saliva, and went back to continue digging the wall.

With the continuous efforts of the Tang soldiers, part of the city wall has been cut three feet deep. Revealing the strongest wall in the city wall, the excavation here is much more difficult, and a shovel goes down, only to scratch a white mark. The Tang soldiers used shovels, iron rods and various tools to dig the wall, and continued to dig the wall.

At the city gate, the Tang army's crash smashed on the gange board. Gange Ban effectively counteracted, and the impact of the crash on the city gate. The effect of the Tang army's collision on the city gate was greatly reduced. Several brave Tang soldiers jumped onto the gange board and slashed the iron chains hanging on the iron plates, but the iron chains were all as thick as the mouth of the bowl, and how could they be cut with a few strokes of a big knife.

When several Tang soldiers struggled to cut the iron chains of the gange board, several iron hooks suddenly stretched out from the city. hooked these Tang soldiers into the air at once, and some Tang soldiers were directly inserted into the abdomen by iron hooks and were killed instantly. Some are pulled around their waists, hooked to their stomachs, and they will not be able to die for a while and a half, and they will be hung alive in the air, struggling to die.

Liu Dewei who supervised the battle on the side. Seeing that in just one hour, the Tang army besieging the city lost more than 300 people, and the Zhao army in the city suffered very few casualties except for the loss of a bunch of arrows and stones.

Liu Dewei knew that it was not that his soldiers were not brave, but that the siege weapons he hastily built were too simple, and the Zhao army had been preparing for war in Heyang City for so long, and he had already turned the city into an iron bucket. Counting less and not winning more, this is a taboo for soldiers.

Liu Dewei saw that the morale of the soldiers was exhausted. Just as he was about to give the order to temporarily withdraw his troops, suddenly the arrows of the Zhao army at the head of the city stopped.

The Tang soldiers, who had been suppressed by the arrows of the Zhao army, couldn't help but be stunned, and then they were all overjoyed, thinking that the Zhao army must have run out of arrows. This is also the arrow of the Zhao army at the head of the city from the beginning of the war to the present. Shoot down as if you don't want money. I have never seen a guard so stingy, you must know that in all city defense battles, bows and arrows are the most important weapons, and ordinary generals will not use them so casually. to cause a waste of arrows.

In the past, when a general defended the city, the arrows were shot, and then the straw man pretended to go down the city at night, misleading the attackers into thinking that the defenders were sneaking up and shooting arrows at the city. After that, the defenders borrowed arrows from straw men.

Seeing that Zhao Jun's arrows were running out and Tang Jun was elated, Liu Dewei clearly saw more than a dozen large oil drums coming out of the battlements at the head of the city, and the oil drums were all hot oil.

"Not good!" Liu Dewei said silently.

He saw with his own eyes that the soldiers of Zhao on the head of the city poured hot oil barrels towards the city, and there was a wail below. The Tang soldiers who climbed the city wall were all doused with hot oil and fell off the ladder.

Immediately, the soldiers of Zhao at the head of the city replaced them with arrows, and the arrows were wrapped with oilcloth, and the oilcloth was lit with fire. Sergeant Zhao stood directly on the battlement and shot directly under the city wall with his bow.

Hot oil was poured over, rockets were fired again, and a raging fire broke out under the city.

The Tang sergeant, who was cutting the wall under the half-cut boat, threw away the shovel and shovel, and galloped up with a loud scream, rolling under the mud, and the sharp roar was chilling. Siege equipment such as half-cut ships, ladders, and crashes were also caught in the raging fire.

Seeing this scene, Li Jiancheng changed color slightly and said: "Zhao Jun still has this hand." ”

On the side, Li Yuanji said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, the fire oil throws stones and arrows, how much can a mere Heyang City have, the Zhao army has been almost this time, and the next time the city is attacked, there will inevitably be little left, and then our army can directly break the city." ”

Hearing Li Yuanji say this, Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Yes, if the defenders have endless arrows, fire, oil, and stones, then this city will be difficult to attack." ”

Li Jiancheng, as soon as Li Yuanji's voice fell, he was slapped in the face.

It turned out that on the Heyang pontoon bridge, hundreds of civilian servants were carrying stacks of arrows and rolling logs and stones, which were continuously transported from the Yellow River to Beizhongcheng. After the civil service, there were still hundreds of fresh troops who came from the south bank, and they were entering Heyang City behind the people. In the city, the wounded soldiers were transported on stretchers from the pontoon bridge across Henan.

Seeing this scene, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were dumbfounded.

"Damn, how do we fight this!" Li Yuanji couldn't help but scold.

Li Jiancheng also lost his color and said: "I finally know why Chen Qingzhi can be in Beizhong City, with 7,000 white-robed troops to defeat Er Zhurong's 300,000 army, with this Heyang pontoon bridge, our army will not be able to cut off the back road of Heyang City, so this city is really difficult to attack." What strategies can the generals have to break through this city? ”

When Li Tangzhong heard Li Jiancheng say this, they all showed helpless expressions. Even famous generals such as Qu Tutong, Chai Shao, and Liu Hongji also looked helpless.

Just when Li Jiancheng was at a loss, a polite scribe on the side came out and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't panic and Weichen have a plan, you can break Heyang City!" ”

Li Jiancheng looked at it, but saw that this person was Liu Lan, a scrivener and a foreign scholar.
