"How is it, is there any other movement of the imperial army outside?"

Ye Yu came to the top of the city tower with a serious face.

Yang Jiang heard the voice and hurriedly turned around and clenched his fists, "Back to His Royal Highness, the imperial army outside the city has no other actions for the time being, but a fierce battle is inevitable today." ”

"This is something we have thought of a long time ago, the imperial court has gathered 100,000 horses here, obviously determined to exterminate us in one fell swoop."

"Yesterday's sneak attack was just a small fight." Ye Yu opened his mouth and said.

Yang Jiang nodded, "The prince can rest assured, the soldiers defending the city will definitely kill the enemy with all their might, and they have reported the kindness of His Royal Highness the prince." ”

Ye Yu raised his eyebrows, this Yang Jiang has spoken a lot more recently, and he even got the word "grace of knowledge" out.

"The son of this world and all the soldiers fought against the thieves on the tower of the city, and hoped that the brothers would fight bravely to kill the enemy." Ye Yu spoke loudly.

The soldiers beside him raised their weapons in their hands and shouted in unison.

"Iron Bull!" Ye Yu suddenly spoke.

Tie Niu on the side hurriedly clenched his fists, "Tie Niu is here!" ”

"The other party will attack the city this time, obviously not only use the ladder, you see that the opponent's front army has a battering ram, you immediately lead people to strengthen the city gate, and use wood to hold the city gate." Ye Yu commanded to speak.

Tie Niu immediately replied, "Your Royal Highness, don't worry, Tie Niu will go now." ”

After saying that, he turned and ran towards the castle tower.

Outside the city, Zhao Yun raised the knife on his waist, pointed straight in the direction of Yecheng, and said loudly, "Whoever climbs the city wall first, will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and rewarded with land!" ”

"If anyone dares to retreat from the battle, Ben Shuai will be the first to cut off his head."

He swung his long knife into the air and yelled, "Kill me!" ”

All of a sudden, the shouts of killing were overwhelming.

The first group of siege troops behind him rushed towards Yecheng like a tide.

All the soldiers on the city wall were sweating in their palms.

Although they won two big battles yesterday, in the face of the enemy's momentum today, it is impossible for a normal person to be indifferent.

You know, the difference in numbers is too great, even if they are defending the city.

Yang Jiang stared at the enemy army outside, estimating the distance of the bow and arrow in his heart, and finally he waved his hand violently, "Release the arrow!" ”

The first wave of arrows rained down from the sky like black locusts, shooting straight towards the imperial army.

The arrows pierced the air like meteors, and the sharp arrows, with the blessing of their own gravity, fell from high in the sky and plunged into the bodies of others.

All of a sudden, many of the imperial army fell to the ground, some died directly, and some wailed on the spot.

A second wave of arrows rained down one after another, greatly depleting the living forces of the besieging forces and also hindering the other side's footsteps.

After all, the enemy army was too numerous, and the first wave of siege troops alone had tens of thousands of people.

The ladder was soon lifted high and placed on top of the city walls.

The soldiers with shields were not afraid of death and rushed towards it, and some experienced soldiers had even prepared a piece of cotton cloth to cover their mouths and noses early.

The defenders on the walls began to lift the thunder stones and roll the logs, and kept throwing them down.

Zhao Yunhai rode on the horse, looking at the waves of fallen soldiers in front of him, and his heart was dripping with blood.

This time, due to the urgency of the emperor's order, the garrisons of all parties did not carry large siege equipment in order to rush here.

Once here, you can't make anything like a catapult in a short period of time.

Zhao Yunhai waved his hand, and another echelon of 10,000 people began to rush towards Yecheng.

This echelon of 10,000 people is somewhat different from the first, half of this echelon are shield soldiers, and half are archers.

The shield soldier held his shield high to fend off the attack from the castle tower, and the archers behind him pulled the bow vigorously and shot at the people on the castle tower.

Soon, there were defenders on the walls who fell from the arrows.

Wang Xian cut off an arrow aimed at Ye Yu with a knife, and then stood aside without saying a word, behind them were all the spies.

The walls of Yecheng could not accommodate all the defenders, so there could only be losses somewhere, so they hurriedly sent people to make up for them.

As soon as the war began, it went straight into a white-hot state, and both sides knew that this was a battle of life and death, either you died or I died.

Zhao Yunhai saw that the soldiers in front of him did not climb the city tower, and the hand that clenched the knife became even harder.

He turned his head to look at a general on the side, and said in a cold voice: "You lead the third echelon to me, and if you can't attack it, you don't have to come back." ”

The general felt bitter in his heart, but his expression was still extremely firm, and he hurriedly led the order to take the third echelon of 10,000 people and began to rush forward on a large scale.

At the same time, the second echelon of 10,000 people made a tacit way for them.

The huge hammer cart arrived in front of the city gate, and many soldiers began to pound the city gate with huge logs.

Inside the city gate, the iron bull had already used a dozen huge wooden sticks to hold the city gate, and then asked the soldiers to block it with manpower.

Every time there was a knock on the city gate outside, the gate would shake a few points.

Tie Niu's brows furrowed deeply, he knew that if he continued like this, the city gate would collapse sooner or later.

Finally, the court soldiers killed the city wall.

Ye Yu's face turned cold, he took the long knife handed by a spy officer behind him, and rushed towards a court soldier, and before the court soldier could react, he cut off his head with a knife.

The vigor of the prince made the morale of the defenders soar.

Many people carried stones while shouting the majesty of the world.

Seeing that the other party's attack was so powerful, Ye Yu said loudly to Wang Xianzhi, "Let me bring the gold juice below." ”

Wang Xianzhi also knew that the situation was urgent, and even dispensed with the complicated etiquette of holding his fists and receiving orders, and turned around and ran towards the city wall.

In a few moments, mouthfuls of stinking gold juice were lifted up the city walls.

The soldiers endured the stench and poured the gold juice in the pot at the besieging soldiers, especially the battering ram, and the four soldiers lifted a whole pot of gold juice and poured it directly on the battering ram.

I don't know how many court soldiers were scalded and blistered, screaming again and again.

At the same time, the gold juice also had chemical injuries, and many soldiers retched on the spot.

Zhao Yunhai looked at this scene, rode a war horse back and forth, looked at the city wall with dead eyes, and shouted loudly: "Shameless and obscene!" It is really insulting to use such a vulgar thing to defend the city, no wonder you are thieves of the Southern Dynasty! ”

The generals behind him looked at Zhao Yunhai like this, and they were all a little stunned for a while.

The ladder of the siege was contaminated with gold juice, and as long as the soldiers of the imperial court went up the ladder, they would inevitably touch the gold juice in their hands, which caused a huge obstacle to their psychology.

For a while, the strength and momentum of the siege decreased a lot.
