Chapter 242: Revealing Flaws
Many warriors have begun to climb the city wall, knowing that this wall is not only strong but also smooth, but the opponent has just relied on steel claws and steel shoes, desperately trying to climb up.
The oil was poured on the city wall again, and a group of people fell down with a bang.
But due to the outcrop, he was directly pierced through the throat by the Western Army throwers in the distance and killed.
The entire battlefield is full of dead people, and more and more are dying.
Many of the western troops under the city walls stopped climbing the walls, and instead began to shoot at those who were rising with bows and arrows, forming a network of fire to cover their comrades.
The battering ram is entering the battlefield, and many people are trying to stop it, whether it is a bow or a powerful bow and arrow, it is useless, at most it is a little delay, and the rest will have no effect.
If the person next to the battering ram unfortunately falls, someone will immediately make up for it and continue to push the cart.
Although the Giant Battering Ram can't break the gates immediately, as long as there is enough time, breaking the gates is not a problem.
Since Suo Zhenbei had known that there was such a big guy, in order to deal with this big guy, he had already made preparations and attacked with fire!
When the battering ram was still more than 100 meters away from the city wall, a long-range throwing device appeared on the city wall, throwing bottles of burning oil onto the siege vehicle.
In this era when iron-making and casting technology were very underdeveloped, the vast majority of the battering ram was made of wood, but it was only wrapped in a layer of iron.
If there is less oil, there is no problem, but Suo Zhenbei has prepared nearly a thousand kilograms of oil in order to deal with this big guy!
With the battering ram as the center, the fire continued to burn, and none of the western troops next to it dared to move forward, so they could only watch the battering ram being burned.
The Western Army seemed to be going crazy, and countless climbing stairs appeared in front of the middle gate, as if the other party had made up his mind that he would have to climb it this time.
The western army below began to shoot arrows at the city wall non-stop, fighting for survival space for their comrades.
Although it was not the first time that Suo Zhenbei had fought against Fan Ling, it was the first time he had seen the Western Army working so hard, and he had no intention of fighting a protracted war at all.
But it's not surprising if you think about it, after all, the supply behind you is continuous, and this is not a siege, so you are not afraid of a protracted war.
Therefore, Suo Zhenbei concluded that the other party was planning to capture Qianguan in one go, wishful thinking!
"Send someone to transfer 30,000 reserve troops to the main gate wall!
Now the total number of defenders at the main gate has reached 120,000, with nearly 1,000 dead and thousands wounded.
Fan Shuai stared at every move of the Qianguan city wall, pinching something in his hand, "Dispatch the Loutai troops and start docking with the south gate." ”
The general order was issued, and the order was immediately passed from below, and then from the camp behind him, many simple wooden buildings nearly 30 meters high were erected, a whole ten, and the war horses moved quickly.
And the destination of this trip actually abandoned the middle gate, but went straight to the south gate.
The 600 people who shrank before finally revealed their true intentions, that is, to seal the cigarettes!
I saw 600 people take out a large number of special medicine stones from their backpacks and pile them near the city gate, and then start to light a fire.
As the fire was lit, the medicine stone was ignited, emitting bursts of yellow smoke, and the smoke became larger and larger, and for a long time, it rose into the sky, obscuring the view of the defenders of the city.
Compared with the dense crowd at the middle gate, there are not many people near the south gate, even if there is no smoke, they may not be able to shoot, but now that the smoke is sealed, it is even more invisible. 88
However, it can be clearly seen from the middle gate, a wall of smoke obscuring the view, and behind the wall of smoke are ten towering wooden platforms, which are rapidly approaching the city wall!
Suo Zhenbei didn't expect that there were so many buildings hidden in the other party's camp, and it was the first time he had seen this kind of thing that could emit yellow smoke.
However, if these 10 towers were to be brought close to the city wall, it would be fatal to the south gate!
Moreover, behind the 10 towers are the soldiers of the Western Army in Wuyang, there are 100,000!
Suo Zhenbei gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, the south gate is still used as a breakthrough, and these people in the middle are completely dragging themselves at the cost of their lives to buy time for the south gate!"
At this time, after Suo Zhenbei analyzed the situation, after a little total, none of the soldiers in the middle gate could be transferred, but the south gate was imminent.
During the time of destroying 10 towers, you have to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy, as well as draw bows.
When the people at the south gate saw the more than 30-meter-high building, they were stupid for the first time, they had never seen this situation.
However, they soon reacted, and the wood was afraid of fire, so they hurried to use fire oil.
This time, in order to resist the Western Army, Suo Zhenbei also made sufficient preparations and mobilized a large number of defensive equipment and items from nearby, for fear that it would not be enough.
The people at the south gate were killed and threw fire oil, and the marksmen on the platform began to shoot arrows wildly, causing a large number of casualties to the defenders on the city wall.
Even the people on the city wall were so crushed that they couldn't raise their heads, and the horses under the towers were also fearless to charge, and hundreds of horses dragged 10 towers to quickly approach the city wall.
Once the two are next to each other, the Western army can quickly climb up the stairs below the platform and jump onto the walls to fight each other.
Suo Zhenbei looked anxious, but he did not lose his inch, and immediately ordered, "Mobilize 10,000 defenders from the north gate as a reserve, ready to support the south gate at any time." ”
It is indeed an unwise choice to rush to increase troops, so Suo Zhenbei chose to set aside 10,000 people to be ready to support at any time, or as a logistics force, which seems to be at ease.
When the order was given to Suo Yan, Suo Yan did not know that the 30,000 reserve troops had been transferred.
When he inquired and learned that 30,000 reserve troops had been transferred to Zhongmen, and he had to send another 10,000 troops to support Nanmen at any time, he couldn't help but be a little worried.
After all, this Qianguan is too big, and the distance between the north and south gates has reached several kilometers away, if there is an emergency on your side, can you return in time to help?
Just when Suo Yan was hesitating, a burning tower had already been built on the city wall, and Suo Zhenbei immediately used the flag to urge Suo Yan to carry out the order as soon as possible.
Suo Yan hesitated, but still chose to obey the order, and as soon as possible to carry as many materials as possible, in case of an emergency, it is better to leave enough time for himself to save himself.
And Suo Yan didn't realize that the soldiers he could use were not the 70,000 in front of him at all, but only 50,000!
Compared with the two sides of the middle gate shooting arrows at each other, the south gate is much more tragic, and even many western armies have already attacked the city, and the two sides have thrown nearly 10,000 corpses on the city wall alone, and the tragedy even exceeds that of the middle gate.
Finally, the first burning platform began to overwhelm and collapsed directly.
After the collapse of the first one, the rest of the aircraft was not far from collapsing, but the situation was still tense at this time.
Fan Shuai in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he should have shown a satisfied smile, "Finally there is a flaw."
Immediately send three teams to attack the north gate, and advance on horseback, and go fast!
