Chapter 288: Siege Battle

After the locking, Gou Jian's brain ran quickly, since people admitted that he was a lost dog, but this angry man still said it, not to mention how to achieve the goal?

After thinking for a while, Gou Jian suddenly laughed loudly, "What a lost dog, worthy of the name, I don't know that your face is a traitor here, and I didn't expect you to poison your father and seek power and usurp the throne!"

As Gou Jian's words fell, the eldest prince's face immediately turned red, in fact, he didn't care that others said that he was a lost dog, because this was the truth, but he couldn't bear to be pressed on his head by others for trumped-up charges.

It's just that the eldest prince here hasn't said anything yet, and several veterans behind him can't bear it anymore, so they all draw their swords one by one, and are ready to go down and chop Gou Jian.

A red-faced and beardless veteran drew his sword, stretched out the city wall, pointed at Gou Jian and scolded directly, "Phew.... You are a thief who has committed the following crimes, you wait for the old man, don't run, the old man will go down and chop off your dog's head. ”

After that, he was ready to go down and fight it out.

It's just that he was pulled by the eldest prince, and the purpose of going down did not succeed.

"Haha... People who are almost in the ground, what are you still doing here? I said that you have no one to use the lost dogs? You actually use these people who are almost in the ground with half of their bodies, hahaha..."

Gou Jian decided what was difficult to hear, and he must be angry that they were smoking, and it was best to fall a few.

"I said a few grandfathers, go home and take your grandson, this is not suitable for you to come, you said you can't beat and scold or scold, why do you come out? I panicked, if I had you jumped off the city wall. ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to be dead? Why follow this bereaved dog to suffer here, and lie on the coffin board to sleep for a long time, if I don't tell Your Majesty from my side, the imperial capital will customize some for you. ”

Gou Jian scolded in one breath.

"You.... You..."

"Poof...."

And several veterans on the city wall couldn't accept such a scolding, they blew their beards angrily and stared, pointing at Gou Jian under the city for a long time, and you didn't come out.

And the old man who was about to go down to fight just now directly sprayed a mouthful of blood on the city wall, and immediately withered.

"Hey, why are you still vomiting blood? No, no, then die, I'll prepare a coffin board for you to ensure that it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Gou Jian saw that a person had vomited blood angrily, and he was immediately excited.

What Gou Jian didn't know was how angry the soldiers on the city wall were at this time, grabbing the weapons in their hands one by one, and some archers wanted to draw arrows and shoot them directly to death at this time.

After scolding for a while, Gou Jian saw that there was nothing to scold, and said directly, "The people and soldiers upstairs listen, the emperor is merciful, and said, as long as you are willing to put down your weapons and open the city gate, you will be forgiven." ”

"And the emperor's original intention is to arrest the rebellious Yongchun, I hope you don't want to be self-conscious, I will give you a cup of tea time to consider, and if you don't open the city gate after a cup of tea, then don't blame me for attacking. ”

Then Gou Jian clamped the horse's belly, turned the horse's head and prepared to go back, but after turning the horse's head, Gou Jian suddenly turned around and said to the eldest prince on the city wall, "Prince Yongchun, if I want you to open the city gate and surrender." ”

"You are so selfish to use so much of your son's blood to protect your ridiculous throne!"

After saying this, Gou Jian laughed out loud and quickly ran back, while the soldiers quickly closed together.

The effort of a cup of tea passed quickly, but none of the soldiers surrendered, as for the eldest prince, his heart was somewhat shaken at this time, because Gou Jian's last sentence of heart-wrenching words was deeply rooted in the heart of the eldest prince.

So at this time, the eldest prince's face was cloudy, and he was doing needle prick in his heart.

"Your Majesty, what else do you want? They are the rebels and thieves, you are orthodox, we are not protecting you, it is the rivers and mountains of the Yonghe Dynasty!"

At this time, a veteran pinched his waist with one hand and held his sword with the other, seeing the change in the eldest prince's face, he was worried that the eldest prince would make some bad decisions, so he spoke in time.

And after listening to the words of such a veteran, the eldest prince clenched his fists hard, and the trace of needles in his heart was completely gone, because the veteran was right, what he was protecting now was not the so-called throne.

And it is the protection of the rivers and mountains that originally belonged to the Yonghe Dynasty, not the so-called imperial power of oneself.

When Gou Jian walked to the back of the camp and saw that no one on the city wall had surrendered, his brows immediately wrinkled, and he simply stopped caring about the others, and said to the heralds, "Send the order to go down, beat the drums to attack the city, and the drums will not stop attacking the city." ”

As the heralds ran away, soon the drums rang out, and the First Legion, under the orders of the commanders, began to approach the city wall step by step.

At this time, the eldest prince has returned to the castle tower, and the matter of war defense is still left to those veterans, who don't know much about it, but in order to cheer up the soldiers.

Therefore, the eldest prince resolutely stood on the city tower, lived and died with the soldiers who defended the city, and at the same time told those soldiers that he was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and was willing to fight with you until the last moment.

"Shoot the arrows..."

"Shoot the arrows..."

With two shots of arrows, both the first group and the defenders of the city, the sergeants on both sides drew their arrows and drew their bows and shot at each other.

And in an instant, countless feathered arrows converged in the air, collided with them, passed through, and finally landed on the opposite camp.

Compared to the defender, it is more advantageous, because the defender stands on the wall and shoots from above, so the range is relatively farther, and the strength of the fall here is also greater.

For the attacker, the attacker's feather arrows are shot from the bottom up, and the strength is naturally reduced a lot, while the defender has arrow stacks and so on to avoid it, while the attacker can only bathe in the rain of arrows.

At the same time, the city wall was so wide, and more feather arrows passed through the city wall and fell into the city wall, and those that really fell on the city wall were four or five out of ten steps. The attackers were overwhelming, so all the arrows rained down on the march.

So after a few rounds of feathered arrows, the First Legion was even more traumatized. But the First Legion did not stop because of the losses, on the contrary, watched the people around them fall.

On the contrary, it aroused a wave of morale, so it moved forward more quickly.

At this time, the siege ladder was full of feather arrows, and the soldiers were pushing behind, but the soldiers under the ladder did not suffer any damage, because the siege ladder was too big.

The wood used to make the siege ladder is thicker than an adult's body, so the siege ladder created can be imagined how big it is, and there are arrow stacks on the ladder, so it effectively protects the people who push below.

A veteran saw this and knew that this was not the way to go, so he immediately gave orders and attacked with fire.

As soon as this order was given, the archers immediately drew the feathered arrows hanging on the other side, put them in the basin of oil placed next to them, lit them on the torches next to them, and then shot them at the siege ladder.

"Against the siege ladder, shoot rockets, fast .... Be sure to burn their siege ladders, quick..."

The veteran who gave orders was angry when he saw many people shooting flaming rockets into the crowd, so he added again.

And with this shout, more rockets were fired at the siege ladder outside the city.

Suddenly, the siege ladders were filled with feather arrows that were on fire, and the oil on the feather arrows gradually flowed down with the burning, and then fell down the skeleton of the ladder.

And as it fell, a stream of fire was formed, full of flames.

It's just that Gou Jian, who was standing in the back, didn't panic much when he saw this, because Gou Jian knew that the wood of these engineering ladders was not so easy to burn.

Don't look at the traces of burning now, but it is only the surface of the burning, and it is difficult to make the entire ladder burn.

"Boom...."

"Boom...."

With the implementation, the fast ladder finally arrived at the city wall, and the sound of colliding with the city wall was so pleasant to Gou Jian.

And as the siege ladder leaned against the city wall, the soldiers who pushed it began to climb from below, ready to use the ladder to climb the wall.

When the soldiers defending the city saw the siege ladder leaning against the city wall, they suddenly panicked a little.

The archers quickly retreated, continuing to fire to form a suppression and block their attacks, while the pikemen and sword-wielding men, who had been behind the archers, quickly stepped forward and crowded to the front of the ladder.

As time went on, more and more siege ladders reached the city walls, and the besieging soldiers began to swarm along the stairs and began to climb the city walls.

Constrained by the siege ladders, many soldiers turned their attention to the ladders, leading to ignoring the people who carried the wooden ladders in the army.

When the large army approached the city wall, the wooden ladder also quickly leaned against the city wall, and then the besieging soldiers climbed up like ants.

When the first soldier went up to the wall, after killing a sword-wielding soldier, he was finally discovered by the soldiers guarding the city here, and then the soldiers on this side shouted loudly, "They have ladders, go up to the people, hurry up and defend." ”

And Gou Jian, who was standing behind, saw that the soldiers had successfully climbed to the city wall, and showed a sneering smile, until now, Gou Jian had thought that the city wall was broken, and it was only a matter of time before it was captured.

And some of the regiment commanders standing beside him frowned unconsciously when they saw this situation, because this seemed to be too simple, so simple that it was a bit beyond imagination. Climbed the walls so easily?

Sure enough, Gou Jian here hadn't been around for long, and from the inner city wall, a group of masked knife-wielding people quickly came up, and the number of people was almost 50,000. And these 50,000 people are extraordinary.

One by one, they quickly drew their swords and joined the battle group, and those soldiers who had just rushed up to attack the city without knowing what was going on were killed.

With the addition of this new force, the soldiers defending the city began to gain a firm foothold, and then, ten people came together to bring basins of boiling oil and poured them down the city wall.

Then came the thunder stones and rolling logs that kept falling down.

"Ahh

Throat-tearing screams came from under the city walls, and many people were no longer human, and there were many, many more bones. It was a soldier who was poured directly with boiling oil, directly turned into a white skeleton.

And the boiling oil is fluid, falling from the city wall more than ten meters high, it is sour, it can be imagined, so at this moment, the rhythm of the siege was disrupted in an instant. And the soldiers besieging the city were killed and wounded.
