Chapter 34: The Fierce War

(Two shifts will be resumed today, from 5 pm to 5 pm tomorrow, most of you support it!) )

Li Yuanyi and Wei Wu were on both sides, and Gao Chongwen was riding on a horse in the middle, Li Yuanyi looked at Gao Chongwen inquiringly, and Gao Chongwen nodded.

Li Yuanyi waved the flag, the two soldiers behind him beat the huge war drums, a group of soldiers pushed the cart and carried the ladder out quickly, the soldiers hid behind the cart and pushed the cart forward, and then a group of archers followed behind the siege soldiers, slowly but firmly approaching the city wall.

The stone thrower also calibrated its position and began to fire.

"Put!"

More than a dozen stone throwers were launched at the same time, throwing huge stones at the gate, and the soldiers on the gate dodged one after another, but there were still people who were smashed, let out a scream, and the closed tower was also hit, smashing a big hole.

"Put!"

Seeing that the besieging army was approaching the city, an officer in the city shouted, but was hit on the spot by a large stone, and blood* burst to the ground, and even splashed on the bodies of the surrounding soldiers, but the soldiers did not care about the disgust, and were busy firing arrows. After the front team shoots back, the back team steps forward and has to guard against the opponent's catapult.

The soldiers under the city had dispersed of their own accord, following the ladder forward, their shields raised above their heads to guard against the rain of arrows from the city, and the crossbowmen had stopped their pace and began to suppress each other.

The soldiers of the city slowly rolled out a huge dick, which was a bed crossbow. Bed crossbow, ancient Chinese siege equipment, also known as car crossbow. It is a large crossbow attached to a bed frame. The crossbow is extremely powerful and powerful, using a wheel uranium, a noose to twist the bow, and the crossbow body is mounted on a wooden frame to increase stability. The bed crossbow uses arrows like beams and clusters like giant axes, and has a range of 500 to 1000 steps. The seven soldiers in the city pulled the winch, and a thick arrow shot out quickly, quickly piercing the bodies of several siege soldiers huddled together. One of the arrows fired from a bed crossbow even pierced the cart, scattering a group of soldiers inside and outside the cart, and winning the applause of the soldiers in the city.

Although the bed crossbow was strong, after all, the number was limited, and the besieging soldiers who had been panicked for a while still advanced to the city. The archers also took their positions and shot at the castle, but they still suffered a lot because they were shooting from their backs.

The soldiers besieging the city held shields, blocked arrows, and also cleverly hid to the dead corner of the pass to rest, the ladder has been set up at the pass, the soldiers on the pass desperately pushed with their hands with sticks, but were shot through by the crossbowmen archers who came forward to cover, the two sides began to radiate around the ladder, and the city also dropped the throwing spear from time to time, and the lucky ones could pierce several people in a row.

In this case, standing still or retreating is equivalent to waiting for death, and finally some soldiers began to climb the ladder, holding a knife in their mouths and holding a shield in their hands. One after the other, like ants.

"Throw!"

When there were so many soldiers on the ladder that it was difficult to push, the rolling stones and logs finally beckoned. There were soldiers screaming and rolling down, and soldiers continued to climb. Soldiers approaching the city will be greeted by several long weapons at the same time, and they will be picked down, and with a scream, they will hit several of their own soldiers.

Outside the gate, the soldiers carried the giant wood under the cover of the cart and rushed into the city gate, and the soldiers inside the city gate continued to strengthen the city gate, desperately resisting, but the city gate was still hit in horror.

Finally, a soldier took advantage of the interval between the radiation on the city, and quickly climbed to the top of the city, and the Gao Chongwen army watching the battle under the city paid all his attention to this road for a while, and the soldiers who went up quickly dodged the attack of two long knives, took the knife from his mouth, and turned sideways, and cut a blood groove on the enemy soldier who was stuck with him.

"Up!"

However, the second soldier was not so lucky, and as soon as he rushed to the head of the city, he was stabbed by a spear, and as soon as the spear was sent out, he fell on his back and fell on the second soldier behind him, taking several people down.

"Alas!"

Gao Chongwen glanced at his own soldiers dissatisfied, startled. The soldier who had gone up first was finally killed after killing several men in a row, and his first hope of taking the city was dashed. The soldiers of Xichuan unceremoniously threw his body down, and several soldiers pushed hard to overturn the ladder set up at the head of the city.

"General, it's alright."

"Splash!"

A large pot of hot oil was poured from the gate, and the soldiers who were slamming the city gate let out a scream, and then the torches were thrown down, and the hot oil was set on fire, and the soldiers came out crying wolf, busily extinguishing the fire on their bodies, and became the target of the city's shooters again.

The gong finally sounded, and the soldiers of the high division dragged the corpses of the soldiers of their headquarters as far as they could, and retreated, closing down the damaged ladders and burning carts, and the smell of burning chariots filled the air.

Gao Chongwen, the son of the old turtle, is a bloody man today. Qiu Liangfu thought hatefully as he lowered the long knife, and a drop of blood dripped down the blood trough. In less than two hours, Gao Chongwen attacked the city three times in a row, always the first team just retreated, and the next team came up, each time there were soldiers attacking the city, this time he forced himself to go up in person, and then forced the other party's soldiers to go to the city. A few more times such a siege, I am afraid that it will be breached. Compared to today, yesterday was really a child and a little mud. Ge Laozi, I don't know where this old turtle son got so many stone throwers and drove them here.

"General, the enemy army has assembled again! It's the banner of Wei Wu! ”

This is the fourth time, Li Yuanyi, Wei Wu, Li Yuanyi, Wei Wu, so where is the other party's Li Dingjin and Gao Xia? Li Dingjin is a cavalry general, and the task must be to prevent his own reinforcements, and Gao Xiayu has not appeared so far, how will Gao Chongwen use him? Raid on the Jinjiang barrier? As the rear army to recuperate and finally attack the city? Or hit the Ten Thousand Wins pile?

Qiu Liangfu shook his head and denied the last thought. The offensive here is so fierce, it has almost reached the juncture several times, where will Gao Chongwen divide his troops and go around to Wanshengdui?

"General, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, should you let General Su attack on the side to relieve the pressure in front of the pass."

Qiu Liangfu nodded and said:

"Okay, but let General Su not be too desperate, take five hundred steps forward, and attract the enemy a little. In addition, the third team under the city was transferred to the city. ”

"Yes!"

"You take my order arrows and go to Deyang to transfer 5,000 soldiers, and be sure to arrive at the back of the pass before three o'clock."

"Yes!"

"How many cars are there?"

Gao Chongwen turned sideways and asked the general beside him:

"Back to Dashuai, all the ones collected from nearby states and counties this month have been used, and the carpenters recruited from all over the country are still in the back camp in Zizhou, with a total of fifty vehicles."

"All transferred to General Lee. Adjust the bed crossbow too, the city is almost finished, it's time for us to be majestic. ”

"Yes."

The drums sounded again, and this time Wei Wu took his own soldiers to follow the team and personally arrived at the city to command, looking determined to win.
