Wang Tan is in the middle of the city wall, the two sides are still shooting arrows, looking at the strong man of the Yu army wearing several layers of armor below, he took out his strong bow, changed to the prominent right side of the city, took a deep breath and stretched the bow from the side to take the arrow, held his breath to aim, and released the arrow in an instant.

The arrows whistled by, fifty or sixty steps apart, and the eyes of the strong man of the Yu army who were full of arrows were stuck in the middle, and he participated in a wail and fell, and suddenly the hair in the middle of the city cheered, and the military heart was excited.

But soon, many arrows roared up, all shooting towards Wang Tan's location, and he hurriedly lay on the wall and moved slowly against the wall before moving to a safe position.

Wang Tan pierced Yang's arrow in a hundred steps, so that the morale of the Tang army in the middle was greatly boosted, many Tang soldiers braved the rain of arrows and began to throw down the rolling wood and stones, the Yu army that was caught off guard below was smashed to the brain, the head broke and the blood flowed, and many strong men of the Yu army who wore several layers of armor and stepped forward to cut the wooden stake were stoned to death on the spot.

The Yu army in the middle was so frightened that it began to slowly retreat, but soon resumed the offensive again.

The two sides went back and forth, and the long-distance confrontation between the city and the city lasted for half an hour, throwing a large number of arrows and rolling wood and stones on the battle line of two or three miles, and the shouting and killing sound was endless.

After an hour of hard work, many wounded were transported to the rear, leaving many corpses, and finally advanced to the city.

The cloud ladder was set up at the head of the city under the joint efforts of everyone, and many of them were pushed down by the Tang army.

The defenders have a special fork pole for pushing down the ladder, but they must see the timing, and when the ladder is just upright and has not yet been set up at the head of the city, once it reaches the top of the city, it is too late to push, and it can't be pushed.

This is a great test of the soldier's experience, and it is usually the veterans who do it.

However, the Yu army was numerous, and soon there were still many ladders to the city, and the siege tower vehicles in the rear were also slowly pushed over.

Wang Tan hurriedly shouted, "The bed crossbow shoots at the tower!"

In the chaotic and noisy city, some people still heard his voice, and several bed crossbows began to turn around and fire at the building cart that was pushed over, and the huge power instantly shot through the front baffle, and the Yuguo soldiers on it let out a huge scream, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.

The arm-thick crossbow arrows hit one after another, quickly shattering the upper floors, and the soldiers inside were killed and wounded, crying and jumping down, and the huge siege towers slowly stopped.

However, there were nine other siege engines on the long front approaching the walls.

Wang Tan hurriedly instructed the hundred generals next to him: "The siege tower on our side is destroyed, you take the two people to the east to reinforce, there are many people over there."

The hundred generals were ordered, and immediately beckoned people to pass.

Wang Tan nervously paid attention to the overall situation, and soon the Yu army began to climb the city, and the hot oil and gold juice prepared by the Tang army finally came in handy, and poured it down at the battlements, and screamed again and again for a while, the stench was stinking, pungent and sorrowful, mixed with the smell of barbecue, strange and disgusting, and a large number of Yu troops fell down from the ladder.

The golden juice is to collect the soldiers' feces and urine and boil them, and pouring them on the body will not only cause burns, but also make the wounds of the wounded soldiers infected and fester, almost incurable, very vicious, and a sharp weapon for defending the city.

Although the Tang army had a strong city, the city wall of Yique Pass was too long, and there were too many places to defend, so the troops were scattered, and the advantage of the large number of Yu troops could be fully utilized.

Soon there were also Yu troops who climbed up to the top of the city, but what was waiting for them was the Tang army warriors who were armed with giant axes, well-armored, and armed to the teeth.

The next one who climbed up to the head of the city was immediately opened by the big axe, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the frontal siege tower could not be pushed, and the Yu army who climbed up the ladder was not afraid at all, and the Tang army warriors who were waiting for work with iron armor were waiting for the rabbit, and no matter how many people could not rush up.

The front was safe for the time being, but after a while, a soldier with a bloodied face came to him and told him: "General, there are too many enemies in the north of the city, and the Yu army has killed the city!"

Wang Tan's face remained unchanged, and he asked calmly, "Is it blocked?"

"It's blocked, but there's still someone coming up behind!"

Wang Tan immediately said to the soldiers around him, "You go and transfer troops, inform Meng Sheng, and immediately reinforce the north of the city."

The soldiers were ordered, and the bloodied soldiers went to ask for help.

The shouts of killing are getting louder and louder, and there are plenty of them below

The Yu army was slowly moving towards the city wall.

The rolling wood and stones of the Tang army continued to be thrown down, and the arrows at the head of the city were like swarms of black locusts, constantly throwing down, and under the city wall of two or three miles, there were dense ant-like figures everywhere.

A large amount of smoke rose into the sky, forming a black cloud above the battlefield hovering and lingering, the sound of gongs, drums and horns mixed with the shouts of both sides, resounding through the wilderness outside Yique Pass, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, the blue and black city walls were gradually dyed red by blood, and the whole battlefield was filled with an unpleasant smell of burning......

Wang Tan became more and more calm, with more than 30 heralds and personal soldiers, he sat at the head of the city in the middle, no longer went to the periphery, and constantly dispatched the reserves of the first brigade on the inner side of the city wall to supplement the emergency place, and finally drove the Yu army down the city.

The battle continued, and from noon to the afternoon the sun began to set in the west.

The first wave of the Yu army's siege lasted for more than an hour, until the desolate horn sounded in the rear, and the Yu army began to retreat in an all-round way, leaving behind stumps and broken arms and broken flags, and a large number of wounded soldiers were dragged back to the rear by their comrades.

After a long battle, the soldiers on both sides were covered in blood and exhausted, and the Tang soldiers leaned against the corpses and blood of the city to catch their breath.

Wang Tan didn't give them a chance, and immediately ordered after watching all the Yu troops retreat to the barracks: "Everyone stand up, don't allow you to rest, take advantage of the time to hurry to the city to rest, and replace the second brigade." If someone doesn't move, they will rush down!"

The herald listened to the order and immediately went to convey the order.

There were tens of thousands of troops in the city, which were divided into three groups by Wang Rong, each brigade, more than 5,000 people, the first brigade and the second brigade took turns to defend the city, and the third brigade was used as the general reserve, responsible for supporting the city.

Taking advantage of the time when the Yu army retreated to rest, the Tang army also quickly completed the change of defense, replacing the soldiers who had been fighting for more than an hour, and replacing them with the soldiers of the second brigade who had rested for half a day.

When the Yu army attacked again after resting for two quarters of an hour, they found that the situation was completely different.

Although they were finally besieged by the Tang army, they were either hacked to death or retreated, but in general the confidence of the Yu army was greatly increased.

One siege has already reached the head of the city, so a few more times to break the city is just around the corner, and the Tang army's rolling wood and stones are almost consumed, and the further it goes, the better it will be.

Wei Hua and others, who had been watching the battle in the Chinese army, also thought so, but they didn't expect that when they recuperated and launched a full-scale attack again, it would be more difficult than the first time.

This siege lasted until the sun began to set in the afternoon, and the head of the city was not attacked once! The Yu army had no choice but to fully withdraw its troops.

Wei Hua was so angry that he killed a general who supervised the siege, but it was still to no avail.

After a day's siege of the city, the Yu army killed thousands of people, wounded more than 2,000 people, and suffered heavy losses, but it was still unable to attack the city.

That night, Wei Hua couldn't stand such a loss, and ordered to send two cavalry to the east, cross the Yique Pass to the east, if the road is clear, bypass the Yique Pass, do not attack, and directly lead the army to the east!
