I'll go. The middle-aged general also looked stunned and nodded. At this moment, they are still hiding in the city gate tower, and from time to time stones hit the city gate tower.

The tiles shattered and fell to the ground. There is also an endless stream. But fortunately, the gate tower is still quite strong, and the wooden plank in the middle has removed most of the impact force, and it has not been destroyed for a while.

After the middle-aged general spoke, he looked at the boulders and arrows flying from the sky. My heart trembled for a moment, but I thought that if this battle to defend the city failed, Aoba Castle would also be lost, and the lord would not spare him.

Immediately gritted his teeth and rushed out at the risk of stones and arrows. And he cried out, "Come, come out, take your shield, and put it on your head." ”

At this moment, the guards of the city gate only know to hide on the side, trying not to let the stone hit them. Seeing Ye Qing's army filling in their moat, he was at a loss.

The words of the middle-aged general are tantamount to a shot in the arm. Immediately a herald went into the city, and ordered the soldiers who were on standby in the city to fetch their shields.

In the defense of the city, you still need a shield? It's a very strange thing, very, very strange. Therefore, the coalition forces prepared only tools to defend the city.

Boulders, sasswood. and piping hot oily water. Now these things are useless, and they need shields.

While the coalition forces were busy preparing their shields, the 10,000 horses under the city who were responsible for filling the moat were already more than halfway through. As long as it was a while of hard work, ten roads through the moat, appeared.

At that moment, the shield of the city also arrived.

Countless soldiers braved the boulder on their heads and walked up to the city with their shields in hand. The shield was large, taller than a man, two or three people wide.

Five or six soldiers were held above their heads to protect the archers.

By the time they had done this, the soldiers of the city had already pushed the moat to the point of four-fifths. It only takes a little time to fill it up.

Whoosh. But at this time, because of the protection of their shields, the soldiers in the city had some resistance to the boulders and arrows flying from their heads, and they suddenly came out.

Arrows were fired at the city.

At this moment, the soldiers under the city who are responsible for filling the moat have changed several batches. After all, a person's physical strength is limited, and this huge moat cannot be filled in an instant.

It needs to come up in turns.

"Flutter. Flutter. "Arrows poured down from the city, causing huge casualties among the soldiers.

"Ahh Yes. Yes. ”

Dozens of soldiers covered their wounds to the end, and the entire team was stunned.

"On the supervising team, those who are not bound to be cut by the front, and those who retreat are killed. Ye Qing's face was cold and hard, and he shouted.

Although Ye Qing is usually a peaceful leader, at this time, the usual kindness will not work, and he will be ruthless when he should be ruthless.

"Yes. ”

The Supervisory Brigade is an independent system in the army, which is only responsible to Ye Qing, and functions similarly to the gendarmerie in the modern army.

Wrap the foot not the former, chop. Those who retreat, slash. Under the leadership of their generals, the thousands of soldiers of the Governor Clan drew their long knives in unison and let out a deafening shout.

The prestige of the Warlords is more effective than anything else at this time. With this incessant chanting, the soldiers, who had been holding back or retreating timidly, were suddenly infused with great courage.

Carrying the sack, he rushed over. In the standby of hundreds of casualties, the moat was quickly filled.

"Order, the army to attack the city. At the moment when the moat was filled in and the soldiers retreated like a tide, Ye Qing ordered again.

"Kill. The shouting of killing suddenly soared into the sky.

Although this time the moat was filled, at the cost of hundreds of casualties. But it's actually an exciting thing. If it were an ordinary siege, how could it not take thousands of people to fill the moat?

But because of the suppression in the sky, they only paid the price of hundreds of people. Most of them were wounded, and the death toll was probably less than 100.

You must know that in Ye Qingjun, as long as it is not injured by missing arms and legs, it can basically be healed quickly, except for the battlefield, there are basically no dead people at other times.

This is a big morale boost once again. From then on, there is only this wall in front of them, as long as they break through this wall.

The huge Aoba Castle was placed in front of them.

And the city walls?

Many of the soldiers smiled disdainfully, and looked up at their own well carts, which were not as tall as theirs.

"Kill. "Under the supervision of the Warlords, the first batch of soldiers of 10,000 people stepped on the filled road and brazenly rushed towards Aoba Castle. And at this moment, Ye Qing did not order the catapult to stop.

Instead, go on.

Ye Qing was under the city, but he could see it very clearly.

Although the coalition forces used shields to resist the boulders, after all, it took five or six soldiers to carry a shield. Although there are many coalition soldiers, they don't necessarily have so many shields, right?

Moreover, the position on the city wall is small, and it is impossible to station a large number of soldiers, and the soldiers wear shields, which consumes the number of soldiers defending the city in disguise.

And by holding their shields, they were giving up three other important tools for defending the city. Rolling stones, sasswood, and rolling oil.

How can you throw these things out of the city if you have no place and no hands?

Ye Qing is a person who advocates offense from the bottom of his bones, in order to achieve the most perfect effect. He can also sacrifice the lives of his own soldiers.

"Kill. Kill the head of the city and reward a thousand gold coins. "Under the city, the head of the front line who was in charge of the siege of the city shouted, of course, the bounty was approved by Ye Qing.

"Kill. At this moment, the soldiers had approached the city wall, and the ladders had been erected, and countless soldiers had climbed the city wall with long knives in their mouths, hand and foot.

The city wall of more than ten zhang is very high, and under normal circumstances, before the soldiers can climb it, they will be moved down by the guards of the city with ladders, and the result is naturally a tragedy.

But at this moment, most of the guards in the city were carrying huge shields. Only a narrow area was left for the archers to shoot their arrows.

There is simply no room to make room.

At this time, the middle-aged general and Cheng Dan were also hiding under the shield. They had to make a choice, and they watched the city soldiers attack. Or give up the shield and directly face the attack of flying stones and arrows on the head.

and resist this wave of attacks.

Soon, Cheng Dan had a decision. "Throw away the shield, go up the rolling stones, and make wood. Knock the ladder down. ”

With Cheng Dan's order, the soldiers abandoned their shields and began to do what a guard should do. But the moment the shield was dropped, dozens of soldiers were not hit by flying rocks and their brains were tied to death. It was an arrow that was shot down from a well cart and was shot to death.

Cheng Dan and they are hiding under the shield, and they are all guards, and they have to be threatened by the top on the one hand, and they have to deal with the people below on the other.

Both morale and mobility have been greatly affected. From time to time, some soldiers climbed the city wall. It's nothing short of humiliating.

A city wall more than ten zhang high, enough to be guarded by nearly 400,000 soldiers. On the first day, the moat was filled, and on the first day, the walls were attacked.

How many advantages are lost on the first day.

It's a terrible feeling.

"Let them climb up. Cheng Dan raised his head and looked at Yu Bandao, with a resolute expression.

"Wouldn't it be the end of letting them climb up?" the middle-aged general asked, taken aback.

"Now they can go up the walls, and at the same time they can throw stones and shoot arrows with impunity. Inflicted huge casualties on the guards. But when their men climbed up with them, they didn't dare to do that. If a stone hits their own soldiers, it will greatly reduce their morale. So, just let them come up. We organized a line of defense on the city walls and fought a field battle with them, and there were more of us than them anyway. Cheng Dan said with a resolute face.

When the defending side has the city walls, the besieging side always racks their brains to trick the army in the city into going out to fight in the field. But they wanted to automatically give up the advantage of the city wall and fight a field battle with Ye Qing. It's true, it's really embarrassing.

"We also have the advantage that they climb up from the bottom up, which is slower. And we're just waiting for work. The number of troops is endless. Don't you believe that Qingyun can fight us?" Seeing that all the generals around him looked like they didn't understand, Cheng Dan explained again.

"Come on, pull the wall halfway out. Didn't they have flying stones? If they had the guts, they smashed them with their own people. Cheng Dan roared, and the unspeakable resentment was protected in his voice.

Ye Qing quickly felt the abnormal movement on the head of the city. A little surprise flashed in his eyes. I really dare to do it. In order to avoid the threat of trebuchets, he actually gave up the city wall.

But it's better than the guards being cleaned up by arrows and flying stones.

I'm afraid that the people who made this decision are very confident in the combat power of their army.

However, Ye Qing didn't care much about it.

The whole army was immediately ordered to attack, but the catapults were also ordered to stop attacking.

When the soldiers on both sides are mixed together, it is a bit bad to use catapults again.

But this does not mean that the advantage of Ye Qing's side is gone. Contrary. They are now basically fighting a field war with the coalition forces.

The advantage of the city wall is almost no longer in the ban.

And they still have more than a dozen well trucks. The soldiers on the well cart kept shooting arrows.

"Attacking Aoba Castle, I'm afraid it's really going to be today. It's just that at what cost?" Ye Qing raised his head and muttered.

But after a while, Ye Qing's eyes suddenly flashed. He turned over and dismounted from his horse and said to all the generals in front of him and behind him: "You guys also go up, and completely occupy the city wall before the coalition forces can react." ”

"No. Qi Qi answered, and many generals turned over and dismounted, and rushed over with their men.
