Chapter 134: The Soldiers Have Arrived and Defeated on All Fronts
Tang Hai commanded the soldiers to carry the ladder and secretly stepped forward to prepare for the siege, and 5,500 people quietly approached the city wall, and under the cover of night, no one could detect them.
The soldiers on the city wall observed the enemy situation at the corner of the city wall, and under the light of the torches, they saw what seemed to be a figure flickering in the night.
So he hurriedly told the soldiers to cheer up.
The archers took their bows and arrows and aimed at the battlements, and the contradictory hands also clenched their spears, ready to pierce them.
The soldiers outside the city approached the city wall, thinking that the enemy in the city had not discovered them, and rejoiced in their hearts, as long as they could climb the wall steadily, they would be able to defeat the other side.
The ladder has been built on the city wall, and the people below have also begun to stack the arhats, and the four-meter city wall can be stacked faster, layer by layer, and the top layer will soon be enough to reach the battlements.
The battering ram was also in place, ready to start attacking the city gates, and the people on the ladder and the top of the stacked arhats hid themselves.
According to the arrangement, when the battering ram began to ram, it was the beginning of their attack.
They heard the battering ram begin to pound against the city gate, and the people at the top of the ladder and the top of the arhats straightened up, tried to climb over the battlements, jumped directly into it, and began to kill, and the first wave of people who were ready to go up the city wall were more than fifty people.
But they straightened up, and instead of the sleepy defenders, they saw the paradoxical soldiers with spears and shields in hand, and the archers who had drawn their bows.
They didn't even have time to see the spikes stuck in the ground and pointed diagonally at them, and they were shot down the walls by the archers, and their fate at such a close distance was only to be shot through the head. You don't even have to make a move.
The soldiers in the back could not understand why the first wave of soldiers who went up did not gain a foothold, and even fell down as soon as they showed their heads. Didn't you sneak up on yourself and not be discovered?
The soldiers on the ladder continued to climb upwards, and the soldiers also climbed the city wall through the ladder.
The archers could not fire their bows as fast as the enemy rushed up, and soon the enemy actually climbed over the battlements and stood on the walls.
By the dim light of the fire, the soldiers who climbed the walls found rows of spikes facing them, the spikes were buried so deep that they were difficult to shake, and the distance between the spikes was so small that it was difficult to squeeze through.
The jagged spikes reach the waist, the thighs, and the calves and chest.
The soldiers were blocked by the spikes, they only had a distance of half a meter wide to move, and the soldiers in the back scolded the soldiers in front for not moving forward, blocking the progress of the soldiers behind.
But when they climbed up and saw the spikes, they were also taken aback and didn't know what to do.
At this time, the city gate was also slammed open, and the soldiers carrying the battering rams saw the archers who had already taken aim, and the soldiers in front were shot down in a single shot.
The soldiers in the back carried the battering ram and threw it at the spikes, most of which were destroyed.
Meng Biao hurriedly divided a part of the soldiers on the city wall to go to the city gate to help guard the city gate.
But as soon as the soldiers on the walls were sparse, something went wrong, and the enemy soldiers who climbed up threw the corpses of their companions onto the spikes, which they could crawl over.
In several places, enemy troops had already climbed over the spikes and soldiers on the walls were fighting.
The spikes at the city gate were also smashed by the battering ram, and if it weren't for the large number of archers at the city gate, the enemy would have rushed into the city by this time.
Tang Hai heard the news that the heralds kept coming back, and at this time he should have lost more than a thousand people, but as long as he attacked it, he would not lose money.
Hidden in the forest, the king calmly watched the battle on the city wall in the distance, and in the faint light of the fire, he could vaguely see them fighting back and forth.
"General, when are we going to charge?"
"There's no hurry, now isn't the best time."
Wang Ping knew that Meng Biao would definitely be able to hold out for a long time, and if he went out now, although he could solve his urgent needs, he could not defeat the enemy army, and only when the two sides were entangled was the best opportunity.
There is also a group of soldiers and horses hidden in the forest in the northwest, this is the spring silkworm led by the three hundred contradictions, when the first wave of the enemy repulsed, Meng Biao sent the spring silkworm out of the north gate, with three hundred people hidden in the forest, and wait until the battle is anxious to attack the rear of the enemy.
The soldiers on the city walls have gradually begun to show casualties.
Wang Ping also saw more and more enemies rushing to the city walls.
"Everyone, just take their own weapons, supplies, and whatever, and throw them in place."
"Prepare to charge with me."
On the other side, the spring silkworm was observing the battlefield, and the situation on the battlefield was not optimistic, and he also saw someone meeting to go back and forth between the battlefield and the forest, and he judged that somewhere in the forest was where the enemy headquarters was located.
The spring silkworm led his men forward in the dark, secretly hid his figure, followed the heralds, and saw a camp with their seriously wounded inside, and the heralds also got into a cowhide tent.
"Rush!"
The spring silkworm led his 300 men to rush into the camp, and when they encountered the resisting soldiers, they were directly hacked to death, and they raised their hands in surrender and kicked down, and then rushed straight to the tent. It was easy to break this simple camp.
Tang Hai, who was in the tent, found that something was wrong, there were ambushes!
So they fled in a hurry under the cover of the guards, which was a pain for the seriously wounded, who had no resistance and became prisoners.
The spring silkworm sent 100 people to guard the camp, 100 people pursued Tang Hai who escaped, and he took 100 people back to help.
Wang Ping, who had sneaked to the south of the western city wall, had already begun to charge.
"Don't you say that you are always abandoned? It's a motherless child, I'll give you a chance now, and see if you can grasp it. ”
"Hold on to your weapons and charge with me!"
The 500 men slashed all the way from the south to the north along the city wall, and the enemy troops besieging the city only saw a group of "naked men" rushing out, and they were a little shocked for a while, and then this group of "naked men" deceived themselves and killed the enemy troops who were besieging the city and retreated.
Rushing all the way, killing all the way, the people who stacked the Arhats were directly cut down, and the ladder was also cut directly, and the people on it fell one after another, and those who fell down and had a breath were directly stabbed to death by spears.
The enemy troops on the city wall had no way to retreat, and for a while they were a little panicked, and they were stabbed to death and shot to death.
The spring silkworm also rushed out of the forest in the west with more than a hundred people, and directly pounced on the large number of people gathered outside the city gate, Tang Hai's soldiers had been blocked outside the city for a long time, and their momentum had decreased a lot.
Under the charge of a hundred people led by the spring silkworm, coupled with the shooting of the archers, they were instantly defeated, and they didn't know how many people there were, and they just wanted to escape in the dark.
At this time, Wang Ping also took the soldiers to kill at the city gate, the two groups of people will be peaceful, Wang Ping and the spring silkworm know each other, they join forces together, continue to attack to the north, the Sanmiao battalion is in a hurry to prove itself, they are all using a deadly way of fighting, this style of play stunned the soldiers in leather armor led by the spring silkworm.
Both groups of people wanted to fight for success, and the enemy troops outside the city became their testing stone, and they were beaten back one after another, coupled with the lack of Tang Hai's restraint, this evolved into a big rout.
