Chapter 930: Catching a Turtle in an Urn

The Bingzhou army was also trying its best to prevent the siege vehicles from approaching, and after the catapults lost their effect, Yanghu took the initiative to order to stop using the catapults again, and the bows and arrows had basically no effect on the siege vehicles, so Yanghu did not advocate letting the archers attack them.

However, there were quite a few soldiers who couldn't hold back, and constantly used bows and arrows to shoot, trying to attack and kill the Sima soldiers hiding around the siege vehicles.

The random arrows fell on the siege vehicle, directly nailed to the body, from a distance, this siege vehicle looked like a hedgehog, but these arrows could not rely on any damage to the siege vehicle, it still very tenaciously forward, the target was directly at the south gate of Jiexiu.

When Yanghu saw that the siege vehicles had arrived at the city gate, he immediately ordered the defenders to smash them with rolling logs and stones, and poured them with fire oil, doing their best to prevent the siege vehicles from destroying the city gates.

However, because the roof of the siege vehicle is quite thick with wooden planks and covered with a layer of wet cowhide, the rolling wood and stones fall and are bounced aside, after all, these wood and stones do not have the potential energy of stone bullets, and it seems difficult to destroy the siege vehicle.

In order to prevent the state army from using fire to attack, Sima Jun poured water on the body of the siege vehicle in advance, and when he arrived at the city, he deliberately poured it again, and the whole car became wet, even if the oil was poured up, it could not be ignited.

In this regard, the defenders of the city can only look at the car and sigh, and now if they want to destroy this siege vehicle, they can only have a chance to get close to it, but in order to protect the siege vehicle, Sima Jun arranged a large number of soldiers around the siege vehicle to protect it.

Of course, these soldiers were also prepared to storm the castle, and once the siege vehicle broke through the city gate, these soldiers would immediately launch an attack and enter the city.

If a death squad was sent to destroy the siege vehicle at this time, it would be no different from sha, because no matter how high the martial arts were, it would be impossible to complete the task in the crowd of Sima Jun, so Yanghu simply gave up the idea of destroying the siege vehicle and instead sent troops to defend the city.

Jiexiu originally did not have an urn city, but after this reconstruction, Yanghu deliberately built four urn cities at the four gates, the role of the urn city is to protect the main gate of the city, once the main city gate is breached, the second defense of Jiexiu City, is such an urn city.

The siege vehicle reached the gate of the city without pausing, and rushed towards the gate in desperation.

Dozens of Sima soldiers hiding in the siege vehicle desperately pulled the battering ram back, and then with the help of inertia, pushed the battering ram towards the city gate.

"Bang dang!" There was a loud bang, and the entire city gate was trembling, as if an earthquake had occurred, and even the merger army at the head of the city clearly felt that the entire city was shaking.

However, Jiexiu's city gate is extremely strong, and such a thick battering ram smashed on the city gate, at most, it only made the city gate a little deformed.

Of course, Sima Jun did not expect to break open the city gate with a single attack, and they pushed the battering rams, back and forth towards the city gate again and again.

Finally, after dozens of collisions in a row, only a "boom" sound was heard, and the city gate was finally knocked open, and the Sima soldiers in the siege vehicle climbed on the siege ram one by one, so tired that they couldn't straighten their waists.

The Sima army that followed behind the siege vehicle had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and as soon as the city gate was broken, these Sima soldiers immediately howled excitedly and rushed to the city gate like a wolf.

Originally, he thought that there would be a fierce battle at the city gate, but after attacking the city gate hole, Sima Jun found that behind the city gate, there was not even a single merge state soldier, and there was no one in the entire city gate cave.

Although he was puzzled, Sima Jun, who was rushing forward like a tide, didn't have time to think too much at all, and everyone rushed to the city, as if once he entered the city, the credit would be certain.

The military merits of the Sima family are extremely rich, ordinary soldiers want to get ahead, and the children of the scholar family want to soar, relying on military merits is naturally a shortcut.

And at this moment, the military merit is in front of him, how not to make people feel excited, so not only the originally arranged army, but even the Sima soldiers who were preparing to attack the city around saw the city gate open, and they desperately squeezed to this side, wanting to get a piece of the pie.

But after rushing inside, the soldiers of Sima Jun were obviously stunned, is this the city, why is there a city wall in front of it, and there is a city gate, damn, there is actually a city in the city, and they have worked hard to break through the first city gate, and there is actually a second city gate waiting for them, such an urn city, is it a second-class small county?

After Sima Jun, who was originally enthusiastic and vigorous, entered the city, it was like a basin of cold water, looking at the second city gate one by one, at a loss.

They attacked the city, originally thought that after entering the city, it would be a flat river, so they only held the weapons they carried, and did not carry any siege equipment, facing the inner city wall as high as the outer city wall, they were all stunned, this is simply no way out, okay?

The Sima army behind did not know the details, and continued to pour in, and soon the open space in the urn city was crowded with people, and an officer who looked like a captain found that the situation was wrong, and immediately shouted: "There is an ambush, retreat quickly!" ”

But it was too late, only to hear a loud rumbling sound, the city and the state army had already cut the rope, a jack gate fell, sealing the city gate.

The jack gate is made of solid wood clad iron, and it is full of iron nails, and the weight is more than a thousand catties. Originally, this jack gate was the second defensive gate, and after the first gate was broken, the jack gate could play the role of a backup gate, so as to block the enemy's attack.

Due to the high cost of the jack gate, many cities were not set up, which shows how much Cao Liang spared no expense when he built the fortress city of Jiexiu.

However, Yanghu did not start the jack gate in advance, but after letting some of Sima Jun enter the city, he ordered the defenders to cut the rope and drop the jack gate.

In fact, there is only one such opportunity, and after Sima Jun has been on it once, he will definitely not go on it a second time, so Yanghu is not in a hurry, and deliberately sells a flaw, so that Sima Jun has the opportunity to break through the city gate, of course, this city is not so easy, and Sima Jun also spent a lot of effort to destroy this city gate.

After a large number of Sima soldiers rushed into the urn city, they found that the situation was not good, and it was too late to turn back at this time. Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "The Last Three Kingdoms 2 Xingwei Jiezhong Literature" for free for the first time.
