Below the city, several groups of cavalry rushed out of the dense cavalry ranks, and unlike the other cavalry, these cavalry who were the first to rush out held the reins in their left hand and a small round shield in their right hand to protect them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a while they rushed to the city wall, and immediately unloaded a bundle of long ropes from the saddle, and at one end of the long rope there was an iron hook similar to an anchor, and they shook the rope of the iron hook and kept circling overhead, and then struggled to throw it like the city wall, and the hook at the other end of the long rope immediately flew up the wall and hooked the battlements, and they pulled hard, and climbed up the rope very skillfully.

In less than a stick of incense, there are hundreds of siege ropes hanging on the battlements, looking from a distance, the city wall of Shangdu is like being covered with a layer of spider silk, the spider silk is covered with soldiers, and the rolling stones and timber alone can no longer stop the intensive attack of the other party, Merlin frowned, bowed his head and instructed a veteran soldier beside him, the veteran was obviously stunned for a moment, and then quickly ran down the city wall.

On the city wall, Simon's soldiers are struggling to climb up the rope, these soldiers have been specially trained, and the wall of the Shang capital city is more than eight meters high, and it only takes five to six breaths for them to reach the top smoothly.

At this time, Sandjo had already prepared the archers, and as long as the defenders of the Great Merchants on the opposite side went to cut the ropes, they would definitely face the dense rain of arrows from Simon's archers as soon as they showed their heads slightly.

Unexpectedly, Merlin instead withdrew the soldiers who were still in the city, and the walls were empty at the moment.

The biggest feature of Sandjo's rope tactics is to win by numbers, and these Simon soldiers are most worried about being cut by the other party in the process of climbing, but now the other party does not show a trace of interception, which suddenly makes them overjoyed, they are more and more excited, speed up the speed of climbing, from a distance, there are at least five more soldiers hanging on each rope, and the city wall has been completely covered by the body of Simon soldiers.

Sandjoe glanced back at Osson, as a top student of Simon Military Academy, which mainly trains cavalry generals, Sander Joe not only took the cavalry science necessary for Simon's generals, but also took the unpopular subject that few cavalry generals can take - siege science.

One of Simon's centurions who climbed the fastest on the siege rope immediately climbed behind the city, and he suddenly felt a wave of heat coming from above, and immediately he was choked and coughed, and when he reached the city wall, he found that the other party had actually put a fire on the city wall and ran away.

A long dragon of fire had already burned on the great city wall, and it was impossible to stand on it, and the heat of the fire not only made it impossible for Simon's soldiers who had just climbed up to stop, but the heat of the flames was quickly devouring the ropes that connected the iron hooks......

At this time, it is impossible for the Simon soldiers who climbed to the city wall to think about it anymore, the rope below is being firmly grasped by the soldiers who follow closely below, and if they stay on the city wall, they will be burned to death immediately, and if they jump off the towering city wall, they will fall to death, leaving these Simon soldiers who have finally climbed to the top of the city have only one choice, whether to die more painfully or more happily.

One after another, Simon's soldiers, with their blazing flames on their bodies, fell from the top of the city with a wail.

But more Simon soldiers on the rope didn't know what was going on above, they struggled to continue to climb up, and another group of Simon soldiers who were about to climb to the city wall felt the temperature on the city head, and realized the seriousness of the problem, they shouted loudly to the soldiers below, hoping that the soldiers below could stop, but in this chaotic environment, the people below couldn't hear clearly, and they were still urging the top to continue climbing.

"Don't climb up below, Dashang has set fire on the city wall, let Lao Tzu go down. ”

"What are you talking about, what are you inking? Hurry up and climb up. ”

"Let Lao Tzu go down. The big merchant set it on fire,"

"What? You said that as soon as you went up, the big merchants ran out. ”

“......”

Simon's soldier at the top of the siege rope finally couldn't stand it, he stepped on the soldiers below, and the soldiers below were kicked down by their comrades before they could react, and the soldiers who didn't go to the top of the city below didn't know what was going on, and soon filled the position of the fallen soldiers, and the Simon soldier who kicked people finally despaired, snap, snap, pop, the siege rope was burned one after another, this Simon soldier grabbed half of the rope and smashed it heavily on the ground, and next to him, the eyes of the soldier who had lost their luster kicked down by him seemed to be still laughing at him。

Simon's army was still screaming and killing just now, but in a blink of an eye, it was replaced by a series of screams, those Simon soldiers who fell from a height to the ground, some of them were already dead, and some fell to the thick corpses and left a life, just holding the broken bones and moaning in pain.

Merlin easily defused Sandjo's fierce offensive in less than a stick of incense.

"It is worthy of Merlin, worthy of being one of the four famous generals of big business" Ao Song sighed, although Merlin's name is not as loud as Li Xiangru's three famous business generals, but it is enough to teach Sander Joe a lesson.

Sandjo, who was still arrogant just now, was now pale, he couldn't imagine that his own sophisticated siege plan was easily defused by the other party's fire, he remembered that a very famous general in Simon Military Academy once held a book "On the Attack and Defense of the Fortress" and said with admiration that this book completely covers the essence of attack and defense in all senses, and he got the highest score of A+ in the whole college in this "On the Attack and Defense of the Fortress".

But Sandjo didn't know that the author of this book "On the Attack and Defense of Fortresses" was at this time and returned to the city wall to continue to supervise the war, the deputy commander of the Great Shang Empire.

Simon's army lost more than 4,000 people in that short half an hour just now, and the stubbornness of Shangdu and Merlin's sophistication finally made these Simon cavalry, who thought that spitting could drown Shangdu, realized that if this battle was to really end, they might have to vomit some blood.

Night is approaching, the Shang capital city after a day of fighting, shouts and finally gained a short calm, the city wall of Merlin, quietly watched Simon's cavalry slowly fade back like a tide, he knows, maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight, the other party will make a comeback.

In the eyes of these big Shang defenders, the deputy commander Merlin is a spiritual pillar, if he does not fall, the fighting spirit will not be extinguished, in the eyes of Simon's cavalry, Merlin on the city wall is a deterrent, with him, the Shang capital will not be touched.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast on Merlin's face, and his expression was calm and solemn.

Surprisingly, Aosong's Simon's army did not immediately launch a night attack, which finally gave the defenders of Shangdu a rare night's rest.

Early the next morning, Ao Song led his group to the city gate

"Merlin, I advise you to surrender, I'll introduce you to someone to see if you know each other?" Ao Song pointed to the person next to him with his hand, only to see the eldest prince Yang Yu throw his head to the side with angry eyes.

As a big merchant forward, he was captured, and today he was escorted to the front of the Shang capital, which is really a great humiliation for the great prince Yang Yu.

His Royal Highness the Great Prince?Merlin was suddenly startled, the man in Simon's army formation who was with Ao Song who had taken off his helmet and was only wearing the purple armor of the Great Shang Empire, no matter how he looked and figured, he really looked like Yang Yu, the Great Prince of the Great Shang Empire.

"Is this His Royal Highness the Grand Prince?" Merlin asked tentatively.

Hearing Merlin's shout, Yang Yu's figure under the city wall trembled suddenly, and his face darkened

"Commander Mei, the soldiers of the Great Merchants, this king is Yang Yu. ”

Seeing that the eldest prince Yang Yu admitted his identity, Sander Qiao had a smile on his face, even your prince was captured by our Simon, and your big business trend has gone.

Merlin's heart trembled, Shang had not heard of General Wotaihe for a long time, and he still had a trace of luck in his heart, and now even the striker Yang Yu was captured, which shows that the 100,000 army of Wotaihe is basically more than lucky.

Yang Yu bowed deeply to Shang Du, his gaze slowly swept over the tired soldiers on the city wall, he took a deep breath, and said loudly Commander Mei, the soldiers of the Great Shang, I saw yesterday, what the monarchs did really live up to the Great Shang, show the might of our army, I Yang Yu thank you for everything you have done for my Great Shang, Yang Yu is not talented, not only can not do his best for the Great Shang, but become the shame of the Great Shang, I Yang Yu today, is not the prince of the Great Shang Empire, and everyone else, are citizens of the Great Shang Empire, at this time is the crisis of my Great Shang Empire, Yang Yu also asks you to fight hard, swear to the death to resist the enemy, and protect the homeland, I Yang Yu will definitely not insult the reputation of the Yang family......"

"No, he's going to kill himself, stop him. ”

Several wolf-like Simon soldiers rushed up, pushed the eldest prince Yang Yu to the ground, and held his jaw to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide, and at this time Yang Yu's eyes were wide open, his mouth was full of blood, and he laughed wildly, he had already completely put life and death out of the way.

"Your Excellency, Yang Yu bit his tongue, but fortunately he was stopped in time and did not bite off. A soldier ran over to report.

"Alright, let's go down first. Ao Song waved his hand, he didn't expect that the temperament of the eldest prince Yang Yu was so strong, he originally wanted to lower the morale of the Dashang defenders, but it backfired, and Yang Yu did this to stimulate the bloody nature of the Dashang defenders.

Merlin watched the eldest prince Yang Yu struggling to be dragged away, his fists clenched, his eyes were about to split, and he responded loudly to Yang Yi, "Great prince, don't worry, with my Merlin here for a day, I will never let a Simon dog climb the city wall." ”

Ao Song reluctantly ordered, "Siege the city, call Lin Bing's Iron Shield Legion." ”
