Chapter 218: Tragic Attack and Defense

"Hold on! Hold! ”

"This way! Yan Bing has gone to the head of the cityβ€”"

Soldiers wielded blades and spears, pushed down logs and stones, archers shot arrows, or fell to the ground with arrows, and all kinds of pictures filled the city wall of Luyang Xuanchun Gate.

The hysterical screams rang out, Long Jin slashed a knife, but was dodged by the Xiliang soldiers, and the guards next to him pounced and blocked the opponent's backhand knife for him.

Blood splashed in his eyes, his vision became blurred, and then he was dragged away from the battlements by another guard, and the Yan soldiers who climbed the top of the wall were terrifying, and the dancing sword light killed the two Wei soldiers guarding the city head and kept retreating, and the gun array came before he pierced and pushed him off the city wall.

"Fill the gap, don't give Yan Bing room to come up!"

Long Jin wiped the blood from his face, rushed back to the wall battlement again, and beckoned the soldiers beside him to work together to push down the ladder, "Let's work hard!" ”

The ladder leaned up to the outside of the city, and because of the plugging, it stopped halfway through, and the Xiliang soldiers under the cloud car pushed again, and the ladder fell to the wall again, and the Xiliang soldiers who climbed above bit the knife and continued to climb the city crazily.

Approaching the moment, Long Jin took the spear and stabbed it downward, and was sideways by the Naxi Liang soldier to avoid the sharp spearhead, took the crossbow from his waist with his backhand, and leaned back with his feet on the wooden steps.

"Ahhh

Long Jin covered his bleeding side face and was pulled out from behind by the guards, and a group of soldiers under his command who surrounded the wall battlements were all shot by crossbow arrows and fell to the ground, and in an instant, the Xiliang soldier stood on the wall battlements and swooped down on the city!

"Block!"

"Pass my order, and go to two more teams!"

Half of Long Jin's face was covered with blood, and he pulled the trembling guards next to him and roared, passing the order out of Mu Ne's personal guards, and he led a dozen guards to kill there again with a war knife.

On the right side of the city, which stretches for seven miles, the Xiliang army of Yan State continues to climb the city wall, and the ladders are all erected, and the ten-zhang giant tower that is besieging the city in the distance is slowly approaching.

His eyes widened and he roared, letting the archers shoot arrows at the slaves beneath the tower. Then, on the side of the city tower, only to hear a loud bang, he turned his head, two or three hundred zhang away, the soldiers on the other side of the city tower braved the arrows flying from the city, carrying the boiling gold juice down the city tower, and a series of screams sounded.

However, the roaring sound of the crash did not stop, the rushing car was protected by the soldiers with shields, and the hammer was swung back and forth by the strong slave man, and then slammed into the thick city gate, shaking countless dust and falling down.

Someone shot arrows and rockets from the city tower, and some threw wood and rolling stones from above, Zhang Fei missed the fallen stone with a shield, and scolded the city: "Wait, you haven't eaten!" ”

Immediately, he turned around and threw away one of the slaves who had pushed the hammer, and he stuck the snake spear into the ground, and together with the other slaves, he pushed the hammer with one hand, and there was a loud bang.

The city gate shook, and the terrifying impact force shook the Wei soldiers behind the gate backwards, and more Wei soldiers swarmed over and crowded each other behind the city gate.

Fang Yan, the general who was guarding this side of the tower, heard the movement below, his eyelids jumped, and he called the herald: "Let the people carry the wood and stones, quickly!" And the oil oil, send people here again! ”

"General, there are not enough people...... The brothers in the second town all supported the left wall section in advance, and the Yan soldiers on General Jiang's side were too strong! ”

Fang Yan pressed the head of the sword and rushed to the battlement, and glanced out of the city, the soldiers and horses of another banner of the Yan army were almost standing on the wall, and the giant siege tower over there was less than fifty zhang away from the city wall.

The arrow whistled, he hurriedly crouched down, dodged a feathered arrow, he looked in the direction where the arrow was flying, it was a golden-crowned and hair-tied swallow riding a red horse, immediately took the longbow, buckled the string is an arrow back.

Wow!

Lu Bu pulled the war horse, raised his hand and grabbed it, and the flying feather arrow was directly grabbed and broken by him, and the bow in his hand was buckled with the feather arrow again, and this time the three arrows were directly full.

"General Wei, today we will destroy the country Zuo!"

Whew......

The arrows flew up the city, the dialect reacted quickly, the iron helmet was also shot up, and a personal guard and a herald beside him were pierced through the chest by the arrow, and the remaining strength was nailed to the wall of the city tower behind.

Lu Bu's cloak flew over, looking at the appearance of the Wei generals on the city tower in embarrassment, he laughed rampantly, and led the wolf rider to continue to wander near the city tower, suppressing the Wei soldiers on the city tower.

He shouted: "Zhang Yide, what about the momentum of fighting with a certain family in the past?" ”

"Three domestic slaves, with two hairs on their heads, pretending to be garlic!" Zhang Fei turned around and cursed, raised the shield with one hand, pushed the hammer with the other, and yelled at the slaves around him to exert their strength again!

Outside the city wall, the 12,000-strong Yan army frantically climbed the city wall, hysterical and skillful fighting, and the first wave of the offensive was so terrifying that the Wei soldiers on the city wall felt terrified.

In addition, the three cavalry below rushed to the city, and the arrows shot also brought a lot of pressure to the Wei soldiers defending the city.

Even so, the Wei soldiers still gritted their teeth and refused to give an inch, once the Yan soldiers stood on the top of the city, they would frantically push over, often repelling or killing a Yan soldier, they would have to pay the price of four or five people, this is the most obvious difference between veterans and recruits who have survived several battles.

But in the face of three different Yan State soldiers and horses, especially the two teams of Xiliang and Qingzhou who climbed the city wall, the madness of the attack, especially the captain and Sima who led the team, were not only experienced, but also selected from 10,000 people.

Not only commanding the team to fight, but also extremely fierce, the Qingzhou soldiers, the former Chen Du County chief arrester Fang Tianling, is now a captain in the army, leading the Wei soldiers who once surrendered to fight braver than other Qingzhou soldiers, once a hole is torn open, relying on the former martial arts, with the soldiers around him, crazy towards the city tower.

The distance of this wall battlement was fought back and forth four or five times, and the Wei soldiers who met it killed more than 100 people. And there are more than a dozen points of contention like this section on the left side of the wall.

Not long after an hour passed, Fang Tianling was wounded several times, and the greasy blood on his hands was almost unable to hold the handle of the knife, he led thirty Qingzhou Army soldiers to take root steadily, forming three small formations, killing the defenders who rushed around him, and retreating, firmly guarding the cloud ladder behind him.

"Kill it, and join up with the comrades at another ladder climbing point to join it!"

He leaned against the wall battlement behind him and ordered loudly, a Qingzhou soldier next to him stopped the bleeding and bandaged him, and among the arrows flying around, the Qingzhou soldiers who got the order moved the array, and moved closer to the nearest team that climbed the city wall. With a roar, he rushed forward with a knife and continued to advance.

The moment the soldiers of the Yan State stood firmly on the wall, the guard of the city tower heard the news, and immediately asked the soldiers of the second town who were waiting inside the city wall to go to the city wall, and then also issued an order to let the government mobilize young people to go up the city wall together to assist the defenders to kill the enemy.

This tactic is very common in the defense of the city, and no one says anything.

As the soldiers and horses of the first town waiting under the city came to fill the gap that was killed, however, they were not suitable for such a high-intensity attack, compared with the combat consciousness of the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom on the battlefield, the difference was too great, as soon as they came into contact, the more than 10,000 soldiers who reinforced the left and right wall sections suffered more than 2,000 casualties in less than two quarters of an hour.

Most of them were shot by stray arrows flying from the city, or hit by thrown stone bullets, and died on the way to support, and some squeezed into the gap, blocked by the dense array, but could not wield their weapons, and were killed by the brave Yan soldiers.

For a time, on the entire section of the city wall at the north gate, the soldiers of the Wei State and the young and strong were like ant colonies going up and down the stone steps in the city wall, and the city wall section was crowded with black and oppressive crowds pushing the small array of Yan soldiers who climbed up.

During this time, the stone bullets did not stop, but the angle was adjusted, and most of the stone bullets were aimed at flying towards the battlements and stone steps on the side of the inner city wall.

Often, as soon as the soldiers and young men who carried the wood or stones got on the city wall, they were knocked to the ground by the flying stone bullets, but no one dared to flinch, and the soldiers who enforced the law kept sticking to the side of the stone steps, watching their every move.

However, the recruited young men were not timid, and even felt more courageous than the defenders fighting in the city, before they came up, the scribes of the government had already publicized in the city that the Yan army might slaughter the city when it entered the city, and only by defending the city wall and repelling the soldiers and horses of the Yan State could the family be saved.

In fact, the vast majority of people do not want to lose their country.

The rolling wood and stones that were carried up the city wall were then thrown from the city wall like raindrops, and the carrying oil and gold juice were poured down, and the rockets were ignited in the hands of the archers, and before they could be shot, they were shot by the feathered arrows flying from the city, and the burning arrows fell on the missing fire oil on the ground, and burst into flames.

The fire of the city wall that stretched out burned, the black smoke rushed into the sky like a black dragon, and the Wei soldiers wielding spears rushed forward, and then they were hit on the head by flying stones, spurting blood and fell, and the young and strong people who carried things picked up the spears and continued to rush up, and the blazing and surging shouts and battle voices spread throughout the city wall.

However, at this time, the two huge siege towers finally approached the city wall, and the thick and wide climbing board fell with a roar and rested on the wall.

Revealing the more ferocious Xiliang and Qingzhou soldiers crouching in the tower, Le Jin and Li Wei kicked under their feet, holding their respective weapons, and took the lead in rushing to the city.

An even more tragic war is coming!
