Luo Ji's three thousand troops at this time pressed the border, the advantage of strength can almost be said to be undoubtedly revealed at this moment, the opponent's garrison is obviously less than a thousand people, the previous ten rounds of bombardment of five three-bow bed crossbows have caused their morale to plummet, and now they have suffered from a large range of arrow rain suppression by the archer troops, this wave of siege warfare, Luo Ji is quite unexpectedly played the effect of morale flow, this situation is actually very rare in siege warfare.

Unless it is a crushing battle in itself, otherwise, the soldiers defending the city have the city wall as a support, and the overall morale will be relatively stable and not easy to fall.

It can only be said that Luo Ji's style of fighting, relying on the advantage of the three-bow bed crossbow and standing outside the opponent's attack range to bombard the city wall indiscriminately, is really demoralizing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the archer troops to suppress the opposite side, the shield and axe soldiers rushed all the way to the outside of the city gate with a siege vehicle, accompanied by a muffled sound of 'bang', Zhang Xijun, the general who was holding a shield to resist the rain of arrows above his head, trembled in his heart, and then shouted repeatedly, "The first unit of shield and axe soldiers resisted the city gate!" The second unit climbed the city wall and went to push the rolling wood and the stones! ”

The soldiers of the first unit who heard the order resolutely went up, after all, they also knew that once the gate was completely knocked down, the enemy army would attack it.

But the soldiers of the second army, whose morale was declining, climbed the city wall with full stiffness on their expressions? Who can't see the overwhelming rain of arrows? Pieces of shooting came over, so that the archers on their own side had no chance to fight back, and the group of people who ran slowly before were shot into hedgehogs on the spot, and the corpses were still lying on the city wall and could not be dragged down! Now let them climb up and push the logs and rocks? Isn't that sending them to death? For a moment, they all didn't move.

When Zhang Xijun saw that the soldiers of the second unit did not act according to his orders, his eyes suddenly flashed with anger when he was restless, and then stabbed to death the soldier closest to him with a sword, and then shouted viciously, "Those who disobey military orders will be killed!" ”

The soldiers were obviously startled by Zhang Xijun's action of drawing his sword and killing people, and their faces turned a little whiter, and at the same time, as a general defending the city, Zhang Xijun was obviously still alive, so that these soldiers did not dare to resist him, and they might die if they climbed the city wall, but if they disobeyed the military order, they would obviously die!

Thinking of this, the hesitant soldiers gritted their teeth one after another, began to raise the shields in their hands, and rushed to the city wall.

However, the harsh reality told them that a single determination would not make the archer troops outside the city show mercy to their men.

The soldiers holding large shields at the front obviously wanted to rush to the city wall to find cover, this idea and train of thought was actually correct, and the longer it was delayed, the more dangerous it became.

However, the right way of thinking does not mean that it will be successful, after the large shield is raised, the effect of resisting the attack is indeed excellent, but it has a flaw, that is, it is too heavy, carrying such a heavy large shield, and you still want to rush up? This approach is destined to be self-inflicted.

I saw that one of the soldiers holding a large shield rushed two steps quickly, and one of his feet was unstable, and his whole body suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground, and then in an instant, the rain of arrows in the sky shot him into a hedgehog on the spot, and the miserable death made the soldiers who followed behind feel a chill in their hearts.

At this moment, I heard a young man behind him, who was also holding a big shield and dressed no different from an ordinary soldier, suddenly shouted loudly, "The rain of arrows on the opposite side can't penetrate the defense of the big shield!" Everyone steady, form a shield array, and go up step by step!! ”

The young man's words obviously had an effect, causing the panicked soldiers on the city wall to find their backbone at once, and they gradually stabilized their positions.

Through the binoculars, a trace of surprise flashed in Luo Ji's eyes who saw this scene, but it was limited to that, until now, the city gate has already been crumbling, and a few rolling logs and a few stones can't save this city!

"Siege troops! Watch out for the logs and rocks that fall from the walls! Siege the city with all its might!! "The morale of the siege troops was originally high, and they knew that they were going to counterattack the city in the southeast of Zhou, and the soldiers who had experienced the previous battle of Xiyuan City were all full of energy! Under this premise, Luo Ji added fuel to their fire, and the skill of 'boosting morale' was thrown away, and the morale value of the entire army suddenly climbed to a new height.

"The gates of the city are falling!!

The exclamation of the enemy soldiers was heard from inside the city gate, and the gate, which had been blasted out of several holes by heavy crossbow arrows, and then hit by siege vehicles continuously, finally fell to the ground in response to the overwhelmed response, and the attack of the archers stopped, their mission was completed, and the next thing was up to the infantry troops.

Without letting the infantry troops stop, Luo Ji waved his hand, "Directly push the siege vehicle and rush in!" ”

It's just a siege vehicle, as long as you can capture this city, and then it will be scrapped, Luo Ji is not painful at all, the siege vehicle used to hit the city gate will hit the formation of the shield and axe troops on the opposite side, what effect it will have is conceivable, but it is a pity that it can only hit this one, after all, the opposite side will not give you a second chance.

The collision of the siege vehicle won them the space at the city gate, and the subsequent influx of shield and axe soldiers roared and rushed in, and the suppression of the troops made this battle completely lose its suspense at the moment when the city gate collapsed.

This couldn't help but make Luo Yong, who arrived with Luo Ji later, feel a little depressed in his heart, he has been on the grassland for a long time, and it is rare to be transferred back, he originally wanted to perform well, how could he have thought that these enemies could not help but fight?

"Let go, let go! I'm the general of Zhendong personally appointed by His Majesty! Dare to attack the border of our Great Zhou, have you thought about the end?! ”

"Your Majesty, ...... of the Great Zhou" Luo Ji, who heard these two words, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he really didn't pay attention to it before, Zhou Dongnan had already proclaimed himself emperor that time, but after thinking about it, it was not an uncommon thing.

I saw that at this moment, Zhang Xijun, the general of the city's defense, was escorted all the way to Luo Ji by two shield and axe soldiers, and then, one of the soldiers kicked on the other party's knee, "Kneel down for me!" ”

This kick was fast and accurate, and it directly made that Zhang Xijun kneel down in front of Luo Ji with a puff, thinking that he was a dignified general of Zhou Zhendong, how could he have suffered such humiliation?

I just wanted to shout a few words angrily, but when I looked up, I saw a flash of sword light in front of me, and a clean sword was directly slashed on his neck!
