Helplessly, a team of shield soldiers could only use the dense rain of arrows, trying to escort the Yan soldiers carrying the flying ladder, and quickly moved to the bottom of the city tower.

Fortunately, the archers of the Zhao Army on the ground at the head of the city were obviously addicted to the pleasure of hunting the Yan Army's crossbowmen and couldn't extricate themselves, but they let a lot of flying ladders run to the bottom of the city tower.

The opportunity was fleeting, and the first soldier almost immediately chose the position to set up the ladder, and then commanded a few people in the same company to quickly dig out two holes that were not too big on the solid ground, and then the two strong men in place respectively grabbed both sides of the ladder and placed the ladder in front of the hole.

The follow-up Yan army immediately exerted their strength together, erected the ladder, put it on the city wall, and then pulled it down and back, only to hear

With a "snap", the end of the ladder was just embedded in the hole dug before, and the hook at the front end of the ladder was firmly stuck on the city wall at the same time.

At this time, it will be difficult to knock down the ladder again! Because of the force, the ladder can only be destroyed by lifting it as a whole, or directly destroying the front end hook.

However, Zhao Jun obviously would not wait for the Yan Army's flying ladder to be completely erected before counterattacking, and almost at the moment when the flying ladder was set up on the city wall, a Zhao sergeant went to push the flying ladder away with a special spear-shaped tool.

The flying ladder that was not firmly hung was overturned by Zhao Jun almost instantly, and it smashed into Yan Jun's camp with rolling belts, and then there was a burst of smoke and dust.

It seems that among the ten flying ladders, three to four flying ladders cannot avoid the doom of being pushed down by Zhao Jun, which is also one of the reasons why the flying ladder is not as good as the cloud ladder, which is far less convenient and stable than the cloud ladder, especially if it is easy to be pushed down before it is not hung up.

And the Zhao army's tricks to deal with the Yan army are not limited to knocking down the flying ladder, just as the soldiers push away the cloud ladder, the archers are also shooting down the Yan army through the hole in the city wall, because of the need to hold the flying ladder, the Yan army is almost all densely standing under the flying ladder, and the soldiers of the Zhao army almost do not need to aim, they shoot arrows down by themselves, and one shot is a quasi.

Just to set up this flying ladder, the Yan army paid a huge price, but this life-threatening flying ladder has just begun to harvest the lives of the Yan army.

Even if a few flying ladders were successfully erected, the Yan army could finally start to climb up, but what awaited them was not the dawn of victory, but a greater calamity.

The hot oil that Zhao Jun had already prepared, didn't want to leak down like money, scalding Yan Jun and infiltrating the wooden ladder at the same time, and then it was very simple, a small flame could turn the ladder into ashes.

On the turbulent battlefield, the raging flames roared incessantly, engulfing the lives of the Yan army and the flying ladder that was finally registered!

But, no one cares! Whether it is the life of the flying ladder or the life of the Yan soldiers.

"Rush!" The lieutenant just repeated the order over and over again, as if only by shouting this word could he make up for the fear and pathos in his heart a little.

In the face of strict military orders, the Yan sergeants could only erect and climb the ladders over and over again without fear of death...... One person fell, two people rushed up, and then they fell again.

The Yan army, which had no arrows to suppress and no siege equipment, could only be pressed to the ground by the Zhao army and rubbed back and forth.

With the kung fu of tea, the vanguard of the Yan army was hit again, almost everyone was injured, and there was not much left of the flying ladder in his hand.

The vanguard of the Yan Army, Lieutenant Du, was also hit by an arrow in his right hand, but he did not receive an order to retreat, and he could not retreat a single step.

Enduring the pain, he commanded the remaining troops, gathered the remaining ladders, and prepared to concentrate on the city.

Finally, when the commanders were in despair, a soldier of the Yan army finally climbed to the top of the tower.

Although it was only a short moment, it was soon stabbed down by Zhao Jun's spear. At the moment when this soldier ascended the tower, the lieutenant finally heard the clanging sound from the main formation-the general finally sounded gold!

"It's finally here! If it's too late, Lao Tzu will also explain here! The lieutenant cursed and glanced hatefully at the head of the city, where several charred ladders were still hanging in the air, and the flames stained him black along with the walls.

Blood stains flowed down from the city, and then accumulated and spread in the dug holes。。。。。

。 Corpses were scattered in all directions, either pierced by arrows or fallen from a height, and even burned beyond recognition.

In just over an hour, Yan Jun's blood has already flowed too much! Looking at this scene, Du Wei was also cramped in his heart, but he was helpless, looking at the arrows that were still being shot from the city tower, Du Wei had to drag his broken arm, sighed lightly, and ordered: "Withdraw!" "I heard

The order of "retreat", the Yan army under the city, in an instant, was as anxious as a lost dog, panicked like a fish that slipped through the net, and flew to retreat to the main formation, and the formation also sent a group of soldiers and horses to respond to it, but it cut off the possibility of the Zhao army following and attacking.

It's just that Zhao Kuo didn't think about pursuing it at all, after all, there were not many troops in the city, and this battle was far from touching the bones of the Yan army outside the city.

Although there were 20,000 people in the vanguard of the Yan army, there were only about 10,000 people who really invested in the siege.

And among these 10,000 people, less than thirty percent of them really died in the city and under the city, of course, even those who retreated to the main formation were all wounded.

And when the soldiers of the Yan army returned to their own camp in a panic, although the Zhao army did not follow and attack, a rain of arrows was inevitable.

couldn't help but that the vanguard elite of the Yan army lost hundreds of people. Roughly calculated, more than 20,000 elite forwards lost more than 3,000 people in this mere battle!

Among them, Zhao Kuo's secret weapon catapult can be described as a great achievement, if it weren't for their sudden might, the Yan army's siege equipment could not be damaged so easily, with the protection of the siege equipment, even if the Yan army still can't attack the city, it will not suffer such heavy losses.

Even if the losses are heavy, they are bound to pull the Zhao army with a large share in the city. It can be said that this attack of the Yan army was a complete failure.

But this does not mean that General Qing Qin's strategy is wrong. The so-called success will be a success, and no matter how fierce the battle is, it can only be fought like this!

It is an indisputable fact that he was caught off guard by Zhao Jun's stone-throwing truck. It is true that some losses can be reduced if you retreat immediately, but at the same time, all these losses will be in vain.

And if I come back tomorrow, I'm afraid I will still have to pay a terrible price. Will it continue to retreat tomorrow? Apparently impossible.

Therefore, the more you are caught off guard, the more courageous you must move forward. Test the enemy's hole cards with continuous advancement and continuous sacrifice; Use the city to explore the defense passes of the Zhao army again and again, and use one life after another to find the possible loopholes of the Zhao army.

Only with this sufficient information can you find out the plan for the target, and then win the whole battle.

For this reason, not to mention the loss of three or two thousand people, even if it is to fight another three or two thousand people, it will not hesitate. Of course, in the face of such a huge loss, Qing Qin, who is a veteran general on the battlefield, can't help but sigh.

To say that I don't feel sorry is false. But fortunately, Yan Jun has successfully climbed the tower, in other words, Zhao Jun's hole cards have basically been opened.

As for the next step, it is a question of how to deal with it.

"General." Just as Qing Qin was thinking about how to crack it, the captain on the front line knelt down on one knee in front of Qing Qin and said, "The general of the defeated army is here to accept the guilt." Qing Qin raised his eyes to look, but saw a black and gray general appear in front of him with a bloody aura all over his body, and a broken arrow was plunged directly into the left arm of the captain, and the gurgling blood slowly flowed down his arm.

"Tell me about the situation at the front." Qing Qin asked calmly, neither asking about the guilt, but also not about the lieutenant's injury.

"Yes!" The lieutenant did not dare to slack off, and immediately replied: "After the last general received the order, he quickly organized siege equipment, and personally led the team, a total of 10,000 elites, to attack the south gate of the city. The army slowly advanced in a fish-scale formation, and the siege equipment was divided into two groups, front and rear, and the echelons were arranged. When the army reached the wall less than three hundred paces, it began to accelerate. At the right time. Zhao Jun's trebuchet attacked our vanguard team. At the beginning, the first round did not cause damage to the siege equipment, and then also, the stone bullets of the Zhao army were like heavenly help, and there were almost no bullets, but after three or four rounds, my siege equipment was no longer one in ten, especially the city chariots and arrow towers, almost all the troops were gone. The equipment that approached the city wall was immediately burned by Zhao Jun's rockets. In desperation, the last general could only use the flying ladder to build the city wall and attack the Zhao army again. It's a pity that I can't catch it。。。。。。 ”

"Why should you fight again in the future?" Qing Qin continued to ask quietly.

"Give priority to protecting my siege equipment." The lieutenant immediately replied: "Without siege equipment, our archers would not be able to suppress the Zhao army, and the battle of Dengcheng would be difficult, let alone break the city." ”

"How do you keep it?" Qing Qin continued to ask.

"I think the last will think." Du Wei pondered slightly, and then continued: "It must have three. ”

"Say it." Qing Qin said.

"Yes." The lieutenant nodded and said, "First, our army needs to make more equipment to make up for the need!" Looking at it today, although the catapults of the Zhao army are accurate, but their number is limited, if they can double the siege equipment, only 300 steps, at least one-third of the equipment can reach the city tower, and use it to attack, it is enough. ”

"Yes! The craftsmen in the camp are doing it. Qing Qin nodded in approval: "Second, what about it?" Hearing the general's approval, the more he spoke, the more comfortable he became: "Second, it is to solve the problems in the process, and the key lies in the two words: dispersion." Although one of its stone bullets is large, if it is a stone bullet to attack a machine of mine, I think it does not have such accuracy, so its attacks are all volleys. That is, to exchange a few bullets for several of my instruments. ”
