Chapter 408: Fierce Battle

The battlefield of fire, explosions, dust, and gunsmoke is a fierce battle between the offensive and defensive sides.

The towers of the siege tower were reduced to piles of slag under the bombardment of spirit cannons.

Countless siege vehicles were pierced by the dense barrage of crossbow arrows and nailed to the ground, unable to move any further.

Hundreds of arrow towers were scrapped in an instant, and countless pieces of stubble of wood flew in the air and killed the archers hiding inside.

Bang~

A large stone fell on the top of the city, but it was the dense catapults of the Western Army that regained its power, but compared to the first time, the city wall was almost lost.

This second catapult attack was not so eye-catching, the speed of the catapult was very slow, and the soldiers of the Weishui Army, with their good eyesight and reflexes, could even find a good gap to dodge before the boulder landed.

Thundered!

One big stone after another fell on the aisle of the city wall, but the soldiers of the Weishui Army were no longer panicked and dazed, and they dodged before the stone fell.

The imaginary casualties were not as many as the first time, which made many soldiers of the Weishui Army feel a burst of happiness.

It's just that although there are fewer soldiers who die directly under the stone, the pressure on defending the city has not diminished at all.

The siege ladders continued to build on the head of the city, and the ladders with barbs made the Weishui soldiers have a headache.

Push it, push it, don't push it, cut it, it's time-consuming.

So I had to guard the ladder, clenched the sword in my hand and played a twelve-point spirit, as long as the soldiers of the western border rushed up again, raising their hands was a knife to swing over.

But also because of the disturbance of the catapults, it was difficult for the soldiers of the Weishui Army to stand in place and defend safely.

It is worth mentioning that many soldiers of the Western Frontier Army have a very small chance of being hit by their own stones when climbing the ladder.

The power of this stone not only made the Weishui army feel related, but also made the soldiers of the Western Frontier Army who climbed the ladder feel a tingling scalp.

Most of the thoughts in their hearts are, don't I, I was not hacked to death by the defenders of the city, but was stoned to death by my own people's stones.

Then this luck is too bad, and the soldiers of the Western Frontier who witnessed their comrades being stoned to death are pale and want to retreat.

But the ladies behind him who were in charge of supervising the battle did not mean to be sloppy at all, and in desperation, these soldiers of the Western Frontier Army had no choice but to rush towards the city tower.

The entire vicinity of the east gate of Youyuan Fortress was full of smoke and gunsmoke, clusters of flames burned wildly, and the blood and sweat of the two sergeants were evaporated by the scorching air.

There were bursts of roars in the sky, and the two sides seemed to have killed each other, and there was nothing else in their minds except for the task in their minds.

On the barracks of the Western Frontier Army, Shen Chi frowned secretly, they had successfully captured the city several times, but each time it didn't take long for all the soldiers on it to be killed.

So much so that the soldiers behind were also driven down one after another, and the loss of siege equipment was really heavy, which made Shen Chi very unhappy.

At this time, another wave of soldiers from the western frontier who rushed to the head of the city were driven down by the Weishui army, Shen Chi looked at the sky, and began to attack from early morning until noon.

The soldiers were obviously a little tired, and the soldiers on the fortress fought back very violently, plus their western army at the head of the city was once again lost.

Therefore, Shen Chi felt that the attack should be suspended, and the soldiers of the Western Frontier Army should have a full meal first, rest and rest, and then continue the high-intensity onslaught.

And by the way, I borrowed this time to rest and eat, and carefully studied how to firmly occupy the city after attacking the city wall.

If you can't firmly occupy the city, then no matter how many times you storm it, the result will be the same, that is, you will be driven down by the Weishui army defending the city.

"The order goes down, and another onslaught is organized, whether it succeeds or not, the offensive cannot be slowed down in the slightest. ”

Shen Chi looked at the badly swayed Weishui Army flag in the wind on the head of the city, and there was a little thought in his eyes.

The name of this army seems to have never been heard of, and every soldier's realm and martial arts are very strong, so it stands to reason that they should not be so nameless.

Could it be that the old stubborn who supported the emperor faction was secretly cultivated? Shen Chi shook his head violently when he thought of this.

This is not right, it doesn't make sense, they have been attacking here for so long, and the other forces are not clear at all, and they are even still outside the fog to find out the news.

If it is said that the army cultivated secretly by those old stubborns who support the imperial faction, then Commander Yu has led the army to besiege this place for so long, and with those old stubborn temperaments, he should not be able to endure it for so long.

So...... In other words, this powerful army was cultivated by that being?

But that's not quite right, how old is he now? can he cultivate so many soldiers with powerful martial arts and extraordinary martial arts?

Even if there are other forces to help, it shouldn't be so easy.

Shen Chi thought about it for a while, but suddenly found that he was a little stunned, it was better to leave this kind of thing to Commander Yu or someone else to think about.

He still honestly took over the siege of the city, and tried to lead the army to rush in.

Although he said that Commander Yu insisted on being sent to command the army, on the surface, the scenery was infinite, but secretly he didn't know how many people wanted to pull him off his horse and replace him.

But whatever, since Commander Yu has transferred him, then he has to make some achievements.

Perhaps in the eyes of the rest of the Western Frontier Army, attacking the city countless times is already a remarkable achievement, but in Shen Chi's opinion, the record is not like this.

In order to snatch the head of the city, he had already lost almost five hundred Xiangshen ranks, and all kinds of siege equipment were even more depleted, and ordinary soldiers had also suffered thousands of casualties or even nearly ten thousand.

Such a loss was simply terrifying in Shen Chi's eyes.

"Kill, rush to the city, take him!"

Under the leadership of the commanders, the soldiers of the Western Frontier Army once again launched a more fierce attack on Youyuan Fortress.

The intensity of the attack suddenly increased again, which caught the Weishui army defending the city a little off guard for a while.

Arrows and stones beckoned to the city wall one after another, almost suppressing the Weishui army to the point that it was difficult to raise its head, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while.

At the same time, the siege ladder was covered with more soldiers, almost dense, and from a distance, the soldiers of the Western Frontier on the ladder looked like a swarm of ants.

"Defend the walls!"

The pressure on the city wall was even greater for a while, and the Weishui soldiers were a little dizzy, but even so, they gritted their teeth and resisted the crazy attack of the Western Frontier Army with their flesh and blood.

One Weishui soldier died at the head of the city, but many more soldiers from the West also died at the head of the city, in the ladder and in the moat.
