It is impossible to rely solely on manpower to withstand the impact of siege vehicles.

Seeing that the wooden stakes that were holding against the city gate were broken one after another, the soldiers who were holding the city gate became more and more difficult.

A captain of the soldiers squeezed out of the hole in the city gate, ran up to the city gate tower, and reported to the general guarding the west city that the city gate was almost unbearable.

The main general guarding Xicheng is named Li Ye, Dong Xian's confidant.

Li Ye listened to the report of the captain of the soldiers, and said urgently: "Hurry up and strengthen the city gate, no matter what, you can't let the enemy break through the city gate!" Just go! ”

After drinking away the captain of the soldiers who reported the news, Li Ye shouted loudly to the soldiers around him: "Bring over the rolling logs, stones, and fire oil on the city head, and destroy the enemy's siege vehicles!" Destroy the enemy's siege engines in no time! ”

Under the command of Li Ye, more rolling logs and gravel fell from the top of the city gate hole, and soon, the siege vehicle of the Han army was also smashed.

Gaiyan, who was nearby, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Mobilize the archers and suppress the enemy troops on the city!" Arrow Tower! Siege Engine! Keep it up for me! ”

Li Ye ordered his soldiers to hoard a large amount of rolling wood, stones, and fire oil above the city gate.

On Gaiyan's side, he ordered his soldiers to bring more arrow towers and siege vehicles on top.

The first to move were the two Arrow Towers.

Although the arrow tower moves slowly, it is difficult for the defenders to stop the movement of the arrow tower.

Rockets were shot out of the city and nailed to the tower, and the soldiers on the platform poured buckets of water to extinguish the flames on the rockets.

It didn't take long for the two moving arrow towers to be like hedgehogs, full of arrows from top to bottom.

When the arrow tower was only ten meters away from the city wall, arrows rained down on the city's head, and the Han soldiers who pulled the arrow tower were shot down.

But when a group of Han troops fell, more Han troops poured up, some of them took the ropes and continued to pull the arrow tower, while some of the soldiers held their shields high and formed a shield array to help their companions block the arrows flying down from the city.

At the same time, the archers of the Han army under the city also kept shooting arrows at the head of the city, and the defenders at the head of the city fell to the ground from time to time.

In this tug-of-war, the arrow tower finally reached the front of the city wall.

The ordinary soldiers at the top of the turret climbed down the ladder, and the archers climbed up the ladder.

After exchanging places, the archers on the platform stood up in unison and fired arrows at the city.

The arrow tower of the Han army is higher than the city wall, and the archers of the Han army standing on the platform are completely condescending to release arrows.

In an instant, there was a scream at the head of the city, and a platoon of defenders fell on their backs after being shot by arrows.

By the time the defenders' archers returned fire, the Han archers had already crouched down, and the defenders' arrows were all fired at the railing of the platform.

After the enemy's arrow array passed, the Han archers, who had already re-twisted their bows and arrows, stood up again and continued to fire arrows at the enemy troops on the city.

Seeing that his own arrow towers had suppressed the enemy army to the greatest extent, Gai Yan ordered to mobilize more arrow towers to come over, and while continuing to suppress the enemy army, he used siege vehicles to ram the city gate with all his might.

Under the threat of the arrow tower, it was not so easy for the defenders to successfully throw out rolling logs, stones, and fire oil to destroy the siege vehicles of the Han army.

Many of the defenders, who were carrying rolling logs, stones, and oil, had just walked to the arrow stack, and before they could throw them, they were hit by the arrows that flew down from the arrow tower.

The battlefield is never a one-man war, but a game in which thousands of soldiers work together and cooperate with each other.

When the Han army was attacking the city, the cooperation of all arms was brought into full play.

The suppression of the arrow tower, the suppression of the archer's position, the climbing of the infantry ladder, the cavalry wandering and releasing arrows, all kinds of cooperation, joint operations, are completely integrated.

The Han army besieging the city has already used all its strength to eat milk, and everything it has done is just to suppress the defenders at the head of the city and create time for their siege vehicles to break through the city gate.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The huge hammer of the siege vehicle slammed into the city gate one after another, and with each impact, you could see the stone chips in the city gate cave slipping down, like a stream of water.

Click! I don't know how many times it hit, with a huge crisp sound, the city gate latch can no longer be supported, and it breaks, and the Dong Xianjun soldiers behind the city gate screamed one after another, and under the strong impact force, people fell backwards.

The city gate, which was originally tightly sealed, was also shaken open a crack.

Seeing that the city gate was opened, the morale of the Han army outside the city was high, their eyes were red, and they crowded forward.

The siege vehicle, which had made a great contribution to the breakthrough of the city gate, was overturned by the swarming soldiers, and people crowded in front of the city gate, desperately pushing the city gate inward.

The soldiers of Dong Xianjun in the city gate cave got up from the ground one after another, crowded behind the city gate, and desperately closed the city gate again.

The soldiers on both sides all used their strength to squeeze the city gate.

Along the gap in the city gate, spears and halberds pierced out, and the soldiers behind the city gate were the first to bear the burden, screaming again and again.

Some of the soldiers had been stabbed into hornet's nests, but the corpses were still standing, and the huge crowding force made their corpses unable to fall.

Gaiyan strode into the midst of his own soldiers, and as he crowded forward, he roared, "Brothers, work harder, and squeeze the gate open for me!" ”

"Kill-" The soldiers of the Han army who were huddled together shouted in unison, and people worked together, and in the screams inside the city gate, the gap in the city gate became larger little by little.

The open city gate made the soldiers of the Han army seem to see the dawn of victory getting closer and closer, and people are squeezing inward with all their strength.

Finally, Dong Xianjun in the city gate cave could not withstand the overwhelming force coming from outside the city, and the people couldn't stand in place and retreated again and again.

The huge gates of the city also opened.

"Kill!"

As the city gate was completely opened, the Han soldiers outside the city roared like a tiger out of the cage and entered the city gate.

The soldiers who rushed up first were pierced into hedgehogs by the opponent's spears, halberds, and even bows and crossbows, and fell to the ground, but the Han army behind them had already swarmed like a tide.

The collision of shields with shields, and the collision of armor with armor, resounded in the city gate hole.

Holding the Glaive Knife, Gaiyan also took the lead in entering the city gate.

There are people everywhere here, people next to people, people crowding people, I am among the enemies, I am the enemy, and Gaiyan's glaive knife cannot be used.

He picked up his long knife, roared, and stabbed forward with all his might, the long knife plunging into the crowd of enemy soldiers, the blade piercing through the chest of one enemy soldier, and then castrating through a second man.

At the same time, several spears and halberds stabbed back at Gai Yan's body.

Gaiyan held the handle of the knife with one hand, drew the saber under his rib with the other hand, and slashed forward, click, click, with a series of crisp sounds, the spears and halberds that pierced over broke one after another, Gaiyan held the saber and continued to slash the enemy forward.

As the chief general of the whole army, the Huya general Gai Yan is so desperate and brave to take the lead in the front, how can the soldiers below not be inspired?

The people followed Gaiyan and killed the enemy soldiers row after row to the ground, and the Han soldiers also advanced inward step by step from the city gate.

Soon, all the soldiers of Dong Xianjun were forced out of the city gate hole, and the Han army soldiers finally occupied the city gate hole completely.

Next, the Han army began to charge into the city.

The first batch of soldiers who rushed out of the city gate had just appeared, and the rolling logs and stones on the city had fallen like snowflakes.

Dozens of Han soldiers were buried under the rolling wood and stones before they had time to engage the enemy.

Gai Yan in the cave of the city gate saw it clearly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to rush out, when suddenly, he heard a roar from behind.

When he looked back, it turned out to be the cavalry commanded by Ma Wu and Wang Ba rushing over.

Gai Yan grinned secretly, damn it, Ma Wu and Wang Ba both had a pair of dog noses, and they had just broken through the city gate, and the two of them rushed over.

Cavalry first, this can't be helped, even if Gaiyan is unbalanced in his heart, he can only take his soldiers and exit the city gate first.

As soon as they came out of the city gate tower, Ma Wu and Wang Ba came close, and the cavalry team rushed directly into the city through the city gate hole.

The defenders at the head of the city kept throwing logs, gravel, and oil, but unfortunately, the speed of their throwing was really not as fast as the cavalry charge.

The cavalry who had come out of the city gate charged to the defenders outside, and even the men and horses collided with them.

The screams of the crowd were one after another, and the iron hooves of the horses trampled on the people's bodies and faces, and many soldiers fell to the ground, and in an instant they were trampled into flesh, and their heads and helmets were crushed flat.

The unsuspecting light infantry, in front of the cavalry, is a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

Ma Wu and Wang Ba urged the horses to rush into the city, one slashed the knife and the other swung the hammer, and entered the enemy camp, which was really like two killing gods.

The formation of the defenders was scattered by the cavalry, taking this opportunity, Gaiyan commanded his soldiers to enter the city, he ignored Ma Wu and Wang Ba's cavalry, and ordered his subordinates to rush to the city, and be sure to annihilate the enemy troops on the city.

At the moment when the Han army broke through the city gate and tore open the city defense of Xicheng, the psychological defense line of the Xicheng defenders collapsed, and now as more and more Han troops entered the city, the defenders were even more unwilling to fight, and fled to the city in groups.

When Jiaoqiang heard the news that Xicheng was forced, he led a team of soldiers and hurried to reinforcements, but he didn't even reach the vicinity of the Xicheng city wall, and he ran into his own soldiers who had retreated.

Looking at it, the defeated soldiers and generals were pouring in like a tide, throwing away their armor one by one, their expressions were terrified, obviously frightened by the Han army.

Seeing this, the leader roared loudly: "Go back!" Give me all back! Keep fighting! ”

It's a pity that no one listens to him anymore, and the soldiers of Dong Xianjun, who were frightened by the Han army in the broken city, only had one thought left, that is, to run.

Looking at the soldiers of his own side who were scattered and fled and did not listen to the command at all, he was so anxious that his face was covered with sweat, but there was no way at all.

When he was shouting continuously, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves from the opposite side, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a group of Han cavalry chasing after him with the buttocks of his own deserters.

Jiaoqiang's heart was shocked, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he urged the horse to step forward, pointed at the Han general opposite with the knife in his hand, and shouted: "The name of the person who came!" ”

This Han general is Ma Wu Ma Zizhang.

Seeing Jiaoqiang, Ma Wu didn't say a word, and urged the horse to rush forward, and slashed Huashan with a knife.

Jiaoqiang's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly parried upwards with a horizontal knife.

When! The strong crotch dismounted and took two or three steps back, his hands were numb, and the knife in his hand almost flew away.

As soon as he took Ma Wu's knife, when the two horses were staggered, Ma Wu stabbed the tail of the knife horizontally, hitting the temple of the strong leader.

Jiaoqiang threw his head back in fright, narrowly dodging the blow.

The two horses passed by, and Ma Wu's follow-up knife swept in again, sweeping the back of the strong neck.

Jiaoqiang's backward figure hurriedly lay forward, and a loud sound was heard in the ear chakra, and Jiaoqiang's helmet was slashed out by Ma Wu.

Only one shot at the face, Ma Wu stabbed three times in a row, although he failed to hurt Jiaoqiang, but knocked Jiaoqiang's helmet away and almost cut off his head.

Jiaoqiang was frightened into a cold sweat, he turned his horse's head, and looked at Ma Wu, who was also turning his horse's head, facing him, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

Who the hell is this person?

How can martial arts be so good?

The other party can take three knives from him, which is already good.

Ma Wu urged Ma to come to Jiaoqiang, looked him up and down, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said loudly: "I am the capture general, Ma Wu Ma Zizhang!" ”
