Chapter 992: The Chen Clan's Country
The collapsed part of the city wall is neither high nor low, and it is not easy for the Nanchen soldiers to shoot arrows condescendingly, because the Shu Han crossbowmen under the city wall are eyeing the tiger, but correspondingly, it is not easy for the Shu Han soldiers to climb the wall, not only to face the wooden rolling stones thrown from the city wall, but also to guard against arrows.
What's more, if you want to go to the city, you actually have to climb it, and the previous attacks were repulsed because this last step was not completed, and the corpses of the Shu Han soldiers were almost all over every platform up and down the broken part of the city wall, and the blood flowed down the uneven rammed earth of the city wall to the moat.
Chen Shujian watched as several Shu Han soldiers climbed the city wall, and even their armor was still Nan Chen's armor, but they were tied with strips of cloth of different colors on their arms to distinguish their identities, and several former Nan Chen warriors and generals even took the lead in rushing to the front.
Xiao Shilian did grasp the hearts of the people, of course, it was not all because of the inducement of money and the general trend of the world, most of the troops in Xiangzhou City were Wu Mingche's original attack on Huajiao and later on Jiangling's team, especially some of the original meritorious soldiers have risen to the position of the battle lord and general, their background makes them naturally more dependent on Wu Mingche's side, in addition, there are many generals in the army of Xiangzhou who are from generals such as An Lu Xu, And now these generals have also fallen to Li Xinchen.
Therefore, taking advantage of this great opportunity to stand on Li Xinchen's side is indeed a good choice for them.
More and more Shu Han soldiers poured into the city wall from the gap and the ladder, and their goal was actually very clear, that is, to destroy the city's defense equipment as much as possible, and they destroyed a bed crossbow and an iron pot sprinkled with gold juice and hot oil.
Uncle Chen gritted his teeth, obviously Xiao Shilian didn't expect to be able to break through Xiangzhou City with these soldiers and horses now, he was using this simplest and most effective method to repeatedly wear down the garrison of Xiangzhou City. When the wooden rolling stones were consumed and the large city-defending equipment such as bed crossbows were also destroyed, Xiangzhou City could no longer continue to block the continuous influx of the Shu Han army.
A Nanchen lord with a few soldiers guarded the last bed crossbow on the city wall, the bed crossbow was the only weapon that could threaten the ladder cart in the city now, if this bed crossbow was also destroyed, there would be nothing to threaten the ladder cart in a short time.
No matter how many of those simple ladders there are, people always have to climb up one by one, but this ladder cart is different, a wooden plank is directly set up on the city head from the ladder cart of the same height as the city wall, and the crossbowmen on the upper and lower floors of the ladder cart can fire arrows at the same time to suppress any enemy on the city head, and at least four or five people can reach the city head directly through the plank at the same time, which is simply incomparable.
After all, the place where the simple ladder can go up to the city is a narrow battlement, as long as two soldiers hold the left and right sides of the battlement, and throw the wooden rolling stones down, it can be blocked for a long time, and even if there is a person who can get lucky enough to climb the city, then he will inevitably face the siege of the enemy who is several times his own, unless it is a fierce general like Chen Zhishen, it is difficult to parry this siege.
But the ladder cart is different, four or five people rush to the city at the same time, and it is not two or three people who can stop it.
"Stop them!" Chen Shujian didn't care so much, at least he couldn't watch the enemy's ladder trucks send soldiers and horses up in a steady stream.
Before the guards could react, Chen Shujian had already drawn his saber and rushed forward, but the guards could only follow him helplessly.
An arrow swept past Chen Shujian's side, and his guards fell directly to the ground. And Cheng Feng, who jumped up, saw Chen Shujian with exceptionally bright clothes and armor at first sight, when he followed Li Xinchen to Jiankang Mansion, he had seen this king of Changsha!
"Sons, capture Chen Shujian alive!" Cheng Feng let out a long roar, cutting melons and vegetables, and generally chopping several Nanchen soldiers who were blocking the road to the ground, while more than a dozen soldiers followed closely.
Cheng Feng's command is the most elite team in Shu Han, of course Xiao Shilian is reluctant to send them to the battlefield easily, but seeing that several attacks can't break through the city wall, Cheng Feng really can't hold back, and immediately takes the initiative to ask Xiao Shilian for help. Cheng Feng's command is a feather forest rider directly under Li Xinchen, to be honest, Xiao Shilian is not qualified to order them, can only be said to ask for assistance, but Xiao Shilian still did not dare to take risks, just let Cheng Feng take dozens of soldiers to follow the ladder car.
The ladder car is not only safer, but also the fastest way to receive the enemy, Xiao Shilian also expects Cheng Feng and these people to be able to quickly break through the city wall, after all, these surrendered Nanchen soldiers have been driven down from the city wall three or four times, and their morale is not as good as before, if they can't make a breakthrough again, Xiao Shilian really can only wait for reinforcements.
The soldiers holding short crossbows tightly hugged Cheng Feng, and the short crossbows were fired one after another, and soon more than half of the guards around Chen Shujian fell, which also made Chen Shujian, who had been fighting with several Shu Han soldiers, suddenly break out in a cold sweat. The other party's armor is obviously different, obviously the elite of the Shu Han army, and then look at this excellent short crossbow and unstoppable charge, you don't have to think about it to know that it must be the elite that Li Xinchen once brought to Jiankang Mansion to show off his might.
Could it be that Li Xinchen has already arrived?
Chen Shujian didn't dare to think about it, because he asked himself that he was not Li Xinchen's opponent at all.
"Capture Chen Shujian alive!" Cheng Feng's slogan soon spread throughout the city wall, and now the surrounding Shu Han soldiers knew that the king of Changsha in Nanchen was in this chaos, and they were more and more desperate to kill.
"Chief, be careful!" A shield player quickly protected Cheng Feng's flank, helping him block a completely deadly arrow.
More than a dozen Nan Chen soldiers suddenly rushed into the chaotic army, and although Chen Shushen, the king of Yueyang, had his hands trembling a little, he still took his personal guards all the way to Chen Shujian's side: "Brother, it's too dangerous here, let's hurry up and retreat!" ”
"Retreat, where to retreat?!" Chen Shujian was dumbfounded.
Now that they are here, the soldiers at least have the backbone, if even they have retreated, then can this north gate still be guarded?
Uncle Chen smiled bitterly: "Brother may not know that the Water Gate has been breached. ”
"What?!" Chen Shujian was very surprised, there were obviously more soldiers and horses in Nan Chen on the side of the Water Gate, and they were all arranged when he left.
"Li Xinchen has arrived," Chen Shushen said helplessly, "their reinforcements are here." ”
Chen Shujian's hand holding Chen Shushen's sleeve loosened weakly, and he subconsciously looked into the distance. On the vast Dongting water, there are many warships, and outside the city gate, a group of Shu Han soldiers are gathering!
