Chapter 554: Challenging the Prince? You don't deserve it!
Man Zhong intends to use the city to defend it, and will not give the Han army a chance to consume his own forces.
Even if the Han army is brave and good at fighting, once it is caught in a siege battle, its strength will still be greatly reduced.
Man Pet never cares about the so-called face and cheek, but likes to use this thing to restrain the enemy.
Sure enough, after Wang Feng and Sun Tai were killed, Man Zhong decisively withdrew to the city.
"Prepare to attack!"
Deng Ai didn't say anything long-winded, he said that if he wanted to take Xinye, he would never break his promise, this was a promise to Liu Mang.
Tai Shiheng had already dismounted at this time, and as Liu Mang's close minister, such a dangerous thing would never be left behind.
"General, Heng will personally lead the troops and set up the Han Cloud Ladder on the Xinye City Wall."
Deng Ai originally wanted to dissuade Tai Shiheng, as a general, he is also a descendant of Liu Mang, so he really doesn't have to work so hard.
"Tai Shi Heng, think twice before you act......"
"General rest assured, Cao Wei has the first to ascend the warrior Lejin, and my Han is also not short of first!"
Tai Shiheng looked at the Xinye city wall, and had already estimated in his heart how to climb and how to defend the city tower so that more soldiers could attack.
"Heng'er, my father has been beheaded today, and I'll hand it over to you next."
Tai Shi Ci has absolute confidence in his son, at least the Han will not treat the loyal ministers and martyrs badly, not to mention that Tai Shi Heng has always followed Liu Mang.
Swish!
Tai Shi Heng carried the double halberd on his back, raised his eyes to look at the city wall, and had already issued an order.
"Attack the city with me!"
Seeing that the Han army did not plan to leave, Manzhong was naturally happy.
"Stupid!"
"Today, you, Deng Ai, have already taken the lead, so you can naturally withdraw your troops."
"It's a pity, but I want to forcibly attack the city, then I can only let you die on the battlefield!"
Arrows fly under Shinno Castle!
Tai Shi Heng led his subordinates, and it seemed that he had already expected this situation.
Following Liu Mang's side, Tai Shiheng's favorite thing is to study siege warfare.
He wants to be the sharp sword in Liu Mang's hand, and that is to pierce the enemy's hardest shield!
"Raise your shield!"
When the Han army heard the order, they put their shields on their heads, and let the arrows rain down, but they still couldn't take their lives.
"The front army opens the way!"
Tai Shi Heng, you shouted, and several Han army wrewlers carried one-person-high iron shields on their shoulders, blocking in front of everyone.
"Huh! The Han army is really brave and unscrupulous! ”
"I laughed at the son of Tai Shi Ci, who had nothing to show for it, and even forgot to bring the ladder!"
"Without a ladder, how can you attack the city?"
It's just that Man Pet was soon stunned on the spot, but he saw that the ladder of the Han army was not the kind of bulky object that was directly carried on his shoulder.
Instead, the soldiers each carried a ladder, and when they arrived at the city, they began to assemble it!
This kind of assembling ladders reduces the damage of the soldiers, and those wrestlers who hold large shields are to protect the soldiers who assemble the ladders!
Darn!
"Throw stones at Lao Tzu!"
The falling rocks prepared in the city kept smashing at the Han army, but Tai Shiheng had already expected such a situation.
The wrestlers held large shields and allowed the falling rocks to roll the wood, but they never caused much damage to the soldiers of the Han army.
"The ladder is assembled!"
"General, please give the order to attack the city!"
"I'm going to make that full pet pay!"
The morale of the Han army was high, and Tai Shiheng naturally would not back down.
"Brothers, follow the previous drill!"
"Protect the ladder and don't take a step back!"
After all, some Han soldiers have begun to climb upward.
A hint of cruelty flashed in Manzhong's eyes, and he had already ordered someone to boil hot water, ready to splash it on the besieging soldiers.
"Since you are looking for death, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The hot water poured down, but I saw that the soldiers of the Han army gritted their teeth and insisted, even if the exposed skin was burned, they still refused to take a step back!
"Quick! Push the ladder down! ”
Man Zhong was calm and unhurried, and ordered his subordinates to push away the ladder as soon as possible, even if it could not be destroyed, and let the Han army die a few people.
It's just that the defenders in the city didn't expect that there were still people guarding the ladder, and those Han troops with super arm strength always made the ladder not move at all!
The two sides defending and besieging the city have fallen into a stalemate, and the two sides are competing for will.
Tai Shi Heng was already climbing, and he was full of favorites to see how this man inspired the soldiers, and even more so to see his bravery.
"Shoot me with an arrow and shoot this man!"
As long as Tai Shi Heng dies on the battlefield, today's siege battle may be over!
The soldiers of the Wei army continued to aim at Tai Shiheng, but the Han army also had a way to deal with it.
They tied their shields to their arms and raised them to block when the enemy fired an arrow, a design that did not delay the siege.
This is also Tai Shiheng's suggestion to Liu Mang after simulating sieges many times, and the latter decisively waved his hand and asked Ma Jun to design a siege shield for him.
"Boy, die!"
Full of pets, he was furious, and he personally lifted the stone and smashed it at Tai Shi Heng!
Fortunately, Tai Shiheng was as light as a swallow, but after dodging, he had already deviated from the cloud ladder.
"It's a rare opportunity!"
Tai Shiheng took out the double halberd, and then directly inserted it into the gap of the city wall with great force, using it as a climbing tool, and continued to move towards the city tower.
"Don't worry about that guy, sooner or later you'll fall to your death!"
"Give me to continue to destroy the Han army!"
Although Man Zhong didn't want to admit it, this siege army made him feel very annoyed.
It seems that they are already familiar with siege warfare, and they will always have a variety of ways to deal with the defenders.
Deng Ai was under the city and ordered the soldiers to build a mound, so that he could observe the movement in the city.
"It's not good, full of pets to use fire to attack! Quickly Mingjin collected his troops and let Tai Shiheng lead the army to retreat! ”
Just as Tai Shiheng was about to climb to the city tower, he suddenly heard the sound of Mingjin.
The Han army was well-trained, and they obeyed the orders of the commander-in-chief and immediately withdrew from the ladder without the slightest drag.
This made the full pet, who had already prepared the oil oil, pounce again.
"! The Han army must have clairvoyance, which made them escape! ”
Once the Han army does not choose to attack the city, it can only be a fool's dream if it wants to attack and retreat the enemy with fire.
Man Zhong could only look at the ocean and sigh, "Next time, I will definitely use fire to attack you and so that you will have no place to die!" ”
Tai Shiheng led the people to retreat successfully, and still lost more than 50 soldiers in this battle.
"General......
"Manzhong wants to attack with fire, so I let you and the others retreat."
Deng Ai said bluntly: "The siege battle is not in a hurry, I have seen the heroic appearance of General Taishi, I already have a way to win!" ”
Hearing what Deng Ai said, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Shizai, can we take Xinye without bloodshed?"
Tai Shi Ci was a little confused, the people in the world who can boast of such a Haikou, except for Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, there is only the crown prince Liu Mang.
"General Ziyi said that if you fight, you will die."
"It's just that we need to wait now!"
"Within ten days, conquer Xinye!"
Seeing that Deng Ai stopped attacking the city, Man Zhong stood on the city tower again and shouted.
"Little scholar, why don't you continue to attack the city? Are you scared? It's better to ask Liu Mang to come in person! ”
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Deng Ai's eyes, "Want to challenge the crown prince?" Thou art unworthy! ”
