The Era of Generals

Chapter 470   City Head Battle

"damn it!"

Zheng Yuanyun clenched his fists tightly.

It has to be said that the quality of his soldiers is still higher than that of Ouyang Lixing. Even after a round of bombardment just now, after he gave an order, the archers still quickly drew their bows and arrows, and headed towards the city. Crazy pouring arrows.

However.

In addition to the small ladders that make up the ladder, there are also huge shields in the hundreds of packages.

The soldiers who assembled the ladder were only a small part, but more soldiers found the shields from the packages, and raised the shields above their heads. It can be seen that next to each package, they are assembled into a flower in an instant. A huge steel flower made of shields!

The steel flower has just bloomed, and the rain of arrows is about to arrive. The two sides seem to have practiced countless times, and the timing is just right.

For a moment, sparks flew everywhere, and the pouring rain of arrows hit the giant shield. The effect it could cause was just countless dense crisp sounds, and in addition, countless sparks splashed.

Zheng Yuanyun is sorry!

If he had known this was the case, he shouldn't have ordered the archers to attack. Even if the trebuchet didn't do enough damage at the near end, it would still be no problem to smash a few shields.

As a result, when a round of arrows rained down, only a sound was heard.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the towering ladders were finally assembled. The vanguard soldiers chanted and put the ladders up to the top of Juhe City one by one.

"It's over, it's all over for me!"

Zheng Yuanyun roared angrily, and directed the soldiers to climb the ladder with gestures.

But where is it so easy to tease?

The end of the ladder supporting the ground is a sharp steel nail, which is deeply inserted into the ground, while the end on the top of the wall has two barbs. The cracks in the city wall and the added weight of the soldiers stepping on the ladder made it not so easy to overturn the ladder.

A soldier gritted his teeth and lifted it twice, but he couldn't pull out the barb from the crack in the city wall. When he was sweating profusely in anxiety, Zheng Yuanyun yelled again:

"If you can't lift it off, cut it off!"

The barb is made of refined iron, it is not easy to break it off, but the ladder itself is only made of wood, so it is still possible to cut it off with a lot of effort.

The only difficulty is that the defenders at the top of the city need to lean out of the city wall to cut down on the wooden part, and leaning out half of the body means giving up the protection of the city wall, and the vanguard below is not coming here with bare hands of.

In addition to using the siege tower to throw siege equipment from a long distance, the vanguard troops are all carrying bows and arrows on their backs. No, after resisting a wave of arrows raining on the city, the vanguard troops under the city are also bows. Put an arrow up to the sky and shoot.

The distance between the two sides is already extremely close. Even if it is from the bottom up, the arrow rain on Ouyang Lixing's side is also very powerful. At least the other party cannot easily lean out to cut off the ladder.

For a while, Zheng Yuanyun was also fully fired, and the rolling stones and trees he had prepared earlier were thrown wildly down the city. Besides, although he couldn't reach out to cut off the ladder, he poured kerosene along the barb, It is no problem to re-ignite and ignite.

In an instant, countless fire snakes rolled up from top to bottom of Juhe City, but the length of the fire snakes was different.

The first wave of soldiers who climbed the ladder were not defenseless. They all wore thick deerskin gloves on their hands. The fire snake ignited down the ladder. When it reached the first soldier, it was covered with deerskin The thick deerskin gloves not only block the heat, but also prevent the flame from spreading under the body.

Although the ladder is made of wood, it is easy to be ignited, but it is not that fragile after all. Even if it is burned, it will have to burn for a while. Taking advantage of this time, the soldiers are climbing wildly, and they are about to reach the top of the city...

at the same time.

"attack!"

Determined to take down Juhe City, Ouyang Lixing naturally would not waste his advantage of having a large number of soldiers. When the battle at the main gate of Juhe City was in full swing, the gates on the left and right sides also vibrated with exciting battle drums .

After Ouyang divided his troops to attack various city gates, he never took back the one million troops, but distributed them everywhere in a besieging manner.

At this moment, the main city gate has already started to fight, and the other two places are not idle. The vanguard troops are also leading the battle, almost replicating the tactics at the main city gate. The siege catapult has also been transported to the two battlefields. The pressure on the city increased sharply.

And Zheng Yuanyun had already been notified of all this, but he could only listen.

There are only so many troops, and he divided them as early as the first battle, and there will only be so many troops if he can defend or not.

But fortunately, Ouyang Lixing's siege tactics were more conventional. Although the ladder was put on the top of the city in a short period of time, the battle really started at this time.

The ladder is still holding on, but the soldiers who finally climbed to the top of the city were also cleared in a very short period of time. After all, Zheng Yuanyun used the style of fighting regardless of consumption, regardless of the fatigue of the soldiers, and used all the soldiers Placed at the head of the city, although the total force is much smaller than that of Ouyang Lixing, if they are only compared with the soldiers on hundreds of ladders, they still have a big advantage.

Besides, it has been a long time since the last wave of battle, and the last wave of battle was nothing more than letting the catapult troops fire a few shots, and there was no physical loss at all.

At this moment, everyone is full of vigor and fierceness. Even if the opponent climbs to the top of the wall, everyone will rush forward, chopping and kicking people down with a few knives.

There were screams and screams for a while, and there was a pile of corpses under the city wall of Juhe City in a short time.

Outside the arena, Ouyang gritted his teeth and watched. Apart from allowing the siege siege towers that no longer attracted firepower to sneak forward a lot, ready for fire support at any time, he didn't give any instructions for the hand-to-hand combat on the top of the city.

Although I really don't want my brothers in Fengqi Province to spill blood on Nantes Province, but since I decided to attack the city, there will always be necessary sacrifices.

And he has done what he can do to the extreme. Through the arrangement of the siege catapult, he ensured that the vanguard was very fast in the process of charging, avoiding being hit by the catapult, and sacrificed to the surrender. to the bottom.

As for the hand-to-hand combat during the siege, this must be faced.

In order to pack lightly, heavy siege equipment such as ramming hammers did not appear on the battlefield, and even now, with the ladder on top of the city, Zheng Yuanyun is still paying attention to the movement on his side, easily Ouyang Lixing's heavy siege equipment will not be given a chance to play, but he still has a large part of the trebuchets that have not been used.
