Chapter 101: The Battle of Defending the City

When the news of the three battle reports came and the news that Fengcheng was attacked by the Qi army from the four gates, there was inevitably some commotion in the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the eyes of these soldiers, such a scene was absolutely devastating! Although they did not think of defecting, the shock in their hearts was definitely not less.

"Don't panic! I have my own way to deal with this, just guard the north gate here!"

In the face of such a crisis, Han Shan showed that a battle-hardened general had the quality, was not afraid of danger, and remained calm.

Han Shan's calm performance naturally gave them a lot of encouragement in the eyes of these sergeants, and in their opinion, Han Shan definitely had the means to deal with it.

In this way, the commotion that had occurred at the head of the city immediately subsided, and everything returned to its original state.

"Are there any siege engines that you haven't seen in the other three gates?"

Calming down the soldiers in the city, Han Shan looked at the three soldiers who were half-kneeling in front of him and asked.

I saw that the three of them shook their heads together and responded, "I haven't seen it!"

Nodding with a clear expression, Han Shan continued: "You go back and tell them that the main direction of the Qi army's attack is the North Gate, so they must hold on to the other three gates!"

The three soldiers were about to say something, but Han Shan directly waved his hand to stop them and said, "You don't have to worry that the number of Qi troops is far superior to ours, hold on for a while, and our reinforcements will come!"

As soon as the word reinforcements came out, it was like a reassuring pill falling into the mouths of everyone present, sweeping away the confusion and uneasiness on everyone's faces.

"Whoa!"

The three soldiers replied excitedly, and then left the place and ran wildly towards the gates of the city where they were fortifying.

After Han Shan said that there were reinforcements, my eyes kept falling on his face, and there was never too much expression fluctuation on his face, which made me a little confused!

What Han Shan said about the reinforcements is true or false?

Fengcheng was besieged for many days, and it was only then that I rushed out under the escort of the Han family's army.

Maybe Han Shan can let people rush out and ask for help, but who should he ask for help? This matter is very important, and when the situation is unclear, who dares to take matters into their own hands.

Where did the reinforcements Han Shan said come from......

If this is just a lie by Han Shan to temporarily stabilize the army's heart, can Fengcheng still be able to hold it......

The question of whether Fengcheng can hold on to it only stayed in my heart for a moment, and then I didn't care anymore!

For me, no matter whether Fengcheng can be defended in the end, what I need to do is to guard the north gate of the city, and keep this gate unbroken.

Break through or something, at least wait until Guldan lifts the Gu poison for Prince Meng. If he hadn't succeeded in detoxifying the city at the moment of breaking the city, I would probably have to fight to the death in Fengcheng!

"Prepare the archers, listen to my orders, shoot the Qi army's position, and when the siege equipment arrives in the city, burn it for me with fire oil!"

When the order was given, a soldier was seen coming forward and lighting a large iron pot hanging above the city gate.

When the flames rose from the cauldron and black smoke billowed from it, the soldier went to the chain that connected the cauldron and prepared to pour the boiling oil from the cauldron.

When the siege ordnance came closer, I looked over there and found that many Qi soldiers were hiding in the siege ordnance and pushing it forward.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile, if this is the case, it would be easier to stop the advance of this ordnance!

Asking for a longbow from Han Shan, I walked directly in front of the siege ordnance and said with a smile: "General Han, how about letting your people cooperate with me? I have a way to contain the siege ordnance!"

Hearing my words, Han Shan's expression on his face was quite surprised, and he replied, "If you have a way, what if you cooperate with you! ”

Glancing at the Qi army array behind the siege ordnance, I said, "Help me shoot the soldiers behind me, don't let them get close to the siege ordnance." ”

"Are you going to use a bow and arrows? They are hiding in the ordnance, they are not easy to deal with!"

Although Han Shan immediately guessed the method I used to deal with the siege ordnance of the Qi army, he didn't know how good my archery skills were, so he would naturally be skeptical.

For this kind of thing, I naturally won't defend it, just see the real chapter under my hands!

The longbow drew a full string and aimed at the soldiers in the siege ordnance, and then an arrow was released, and an arrow was fired through the gap.

In the eyes of others, such a long distance, coupled with the fact that the Qi soldiers were hiding in the siege equipment, it was difficult to shoot them.

However, this is only for others, and it is not difficult for a senior archer like me to shoot arrows through the gap in the armament.

I don't care if I shoot an arrow into it, I don't care if it hits the person inside, it's another arrow wound, shoot, wind, and shoot......

However, ten arrows were fired, and the siege ordnance on the opposite side stopped directly, and the sergeants inside were almost dead.

"Okay! Hurry up and release the arrows, don't those people go in again!"

An experienced general like Han Shan naturally wouldn't fail to grasp the fighter, and when I saw the siege ordnance stop, I heard him shout like this before I could speak.

Then, a rain of arrows shot out and fell in the direction of the siege ordnance, and the soldiers of the Qi army on that side were all killed by several arrows, and for a time a clearing was shot on the side of the ordnance!

Although this battle has been going on for many days, Fengcheng's reserve of feather arrows has not yet been exhausted.

This kind of thing naturally puzzles me, but I didn't take it out and ask, it's nothing to ask, isn't it good to have endless feather arrows!

The stalemate on the siege ordnance side did not last long, and after paying the sacrifices of many soldiers, the shield soldiers of the Qi army simply surrounded the siege ordnance with shields and let those people in.

After that, it was also the shield soldier who held the shield in front of the siege ordnance and slowly moved towards the north gate of Fengcheng.

I can't shoot them anymore, but when they do, they move incredibly slowly, which is undoubtedly a good thing for us who need to stall for time.

Why is the Qi army so obsessed with siege ordnance, because at the beginning of the battle, the defenders in the city have completely blocked the four city gates.

When we came in from the south gate last night, we saw a large pile of timber blocking the door.

When I saw the wood, I knew why Han Jiajun's rescue of us came so late.

Because before they came out to rescue us, it took a lot of time to clear the blocked south gate.

If the city gate had not been blocked, it is estimated that Fengcheng would have been breached a long time ago, and the Qi army would not have used any siege ordnance at this time.

Because he was restrained by the archers, the speed of the Qi army's formation behind him also slowed down, and the speed of the siege ordnance walking in front was half a catty to eight taels.

They were just walking forward slowly, and naturally they didn't need much physical strength, but our side was constantly shooting arrows at the Qi military array in order to contain their speed.

In order to leave the physical strength to defend the city, after throwing a few rounds of feather arrows, Han Shan ordered the archers to stop throwing and conserve their physical strength.

Our side stopped shooting arrows, and the Qi army's side immediately began to move, and the phalanx, which was originally slowing down, suddenly accelerated and rushed towards our side.

Looking down from the wall, I saw a mass of black people rushing towards the wall, all of them still holding ladders or something.

At this time, the archers had just stopped shooting, and their arms were in a period of time of retraction, which could only allow these Qi troops to approach.

When he got closer, Han Shan just ordered the archers to shoot back, but he saw that the Qi army array under the city suddenly changed, and an archer phalanx emerged from the phalanx.

Whoosh ......

Before we could shoot on our side, the Qi army had already begun to release arrows to suppress the archers on our side.

"Shieldman, defense!"

Han Shan gave the order, and the shield soldiers who were ready to attack on the side stepped forward with their shields and blocked the front of the city wall to block the arrows for the archers and infantry.

We did so, but our shieldmen were far from numbered, and we could only barely form a line from the head of the city to the wall, and stop a lot of feathered arrows.

A considerable number of feathered arrows were thrown in, beyond the shield man's defenses, inflicting casualties on the city's sergeants.

When the arrows fell, I saw many archers pick up the arrows and put them in their quivers.

Seeing this scene, I instantly understood the real reason why Fengcheng still had feather arrow reserves, and the feeling was to pick up all the military.

This kind of answer made me laugh and cry again......

There were too many archers in the Qi army, and no matter how powerful the material reserves were, they couldn't withstand such crazy consumption, so after a few rounds of shooting, the archers stopped.

At this time, the Qi army in the distance also rushed to the closer, and one by one long ladders were erected onto the city wall.

When these long ladders came up, there was no need for Han Shan to say more, most of them were directly pushed down by the defenders of the city, and some of the remaining ones had already been climbed up by Qi soldiers and couldn't be pushed!

"Shen Kuoyun, take a few people to help other places!"

Seeing that the battle situation had directly developed into a white-hot state, Han Shan gave Shen Kuoyun such an order.

Shen Kuoyun immediately received the order, and took the last two of the eighteen horsemen of the Shen family, together with the two centurions just now, to the side of the city wall.

"Archers, continue to release arrows and suppress the charge of the Qi army!"

After receiving Han Shan's order, the shield man who was blocking the front immediately gave up the shield in his hand, took his spear and killed the city walls on both sides.

And the archers are shooting frantically at the city, and at this time they can all shoot blindly, because there are too many Qi troops under the city.

The ladders that were pushed down were re-erected after a long time, and more Qi soldiers stood up, so that the people in the city could not be pushed down again!

Besieging Fengcheng, the Qi army can concoct a large chariot that hits the city gate, which is already unexpected, because they are besieging Fengcheng under this situation after all.

It is not easy to assemble such a large army very secretly, let alone to get siege weapons such as ladders.

It is precisely because of this that the fall of Fengcheng will become so difficult, if it is really when the world is in chaos, in the face of such a large army, the fall of Fengcheng will definitely be overnight.

At this time, it was useless for me to shoot alone, so I took out the long sword from the trap box and killed the city wall on the side like Shen Kuoyun and them.

Just as we were fighting a bloody battle with the soldiers of the Qi army who climbed up the ladder, the siege ordnance that was slowly advancing under the escort of the shield also arrived under the city.

If there is a stone or something at this time, throw it down directly, and these shields will definitely not be able to stop it.

It's a pity that this kind of thing seems to have been used up in the previous siege battles, and now it can only be poured with fire oil to slightly delay the siege ordnance to break through the city gate.

"Pour the oil!"

Han Shan burst into a shout, and the sergeant guarding the side of the oil immediately pulled the iron chain, and the hot oil was poured down with flames.

The city was suddenly burned to the ground, and the screams of the Qi army were incessant! The advance of the siege ordnance was once again blocked!
