0673 Ascend to break the city first

As soon as the battle began, it became white-hot. Although there was no hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, the intensity of the fire between them was shocking. Although the Yuzhou army did not occupy an advantageous advantage, the sheng of the bow and crossbow directly shot a blank space several feet long at one end on the city wall, and few slave soldiers dared to gain a foothold within the radius! It is necessary to draw troops from both sides in order to temporarily suppress it!

In just half an hour, within the range of this counter-fire, the arrows that fell on the ground had accumulated more than a foot!

At the same time, in the rear camp of the Yuzhou army, which was facing the city gate, the only two rushing vehicles had also been erected, and the trenches in front had also been filled. A battalion of soldiers pushed two war beasts and slowly walked towards the city wall.

The actions under the city are naturally difficult to conceal the city, when the car rushed over the trench, the figure on the head of the city suddenly surged, obviously the Yuzhou army's offensive exceeded the other party's expectations, and had to put the reserve into the defense of the city wall in advance.

The chariot was several floors high, and the heavy base contained hundreds of soldiers, which was by no means an ordinary arrow could stop it. Once it touches the city wall, it will be a great problem for the defenders, and there will be a steady stream of soldiers climbing up, making them lose the great advantage of the city wall.

Therefore, as soon as the rushing car appeared on the battlefield, the opposite side quickly responded, and the large rock of the millstone smashed down in the air with great force. Some of the stones missed, smashing the ground into deep holes, bouncing and rolling out for more than a few feet.

There are also stones that directly hit the rushing car, but as the main equipment used for siege, the rushing car is also extremely well-built, and it does not require simple work. The main body is a huge wooden beam, the foundation is made of iron armor thick wood stacked layer by layer, the outermost layer of tough bamboo armor is covered with cowhide, self-formed arc angle, even if it is directly hit by the boulder, the amazing elastic force will also unload the great impact force, unless it hits one after another, it is difficult to crush the car!

Therefore, in the case of the opposite side of the stone throwing frequently smashed into the air, the two rushing cars seemed to be crumbling, but they still struggled to move forward, and with the passage of time, the distance from the city wall was shortened inch by inch!

When they reached a certain distance from each other, the chariot stopped moving forward, and the soldiers at the bottom began to climb up layer by layer, and launched a stacked attack with the opposite side. The fire on the front of the city wall was pinned, and two more battalions of soldiers rushed into the battlefield with swords, shields, bows and crossbows, replenishing their bows and arrows, and continuing to push the rushing cart forward.

Guo Yu suppressed the rear formation, although there was no danger of directly rushing to kill, but the task was also extremely arduous. In addition to dispatching troops to replenish the ranks, he is also responsible for deterring the local villagers who are watching around him.

Not long after the start of the war, the Yuzhou army set up a full-scale attack, and a large number of soldiers were transferred to two fronts, and when there were only two battalions of 600 soldiers left around them, it had reached an extremely dangerous situation. If there were the means arranged by the slaves in the outer city, they should have been unable to resist and be ready to move at this time.

The battle lasted for about half an hour, and suddenly, a fierce cheer broke out from the right mound, and both inside and outside the battlefield turned their heads to look, and then they saw that the mound had been pushed forward to a distance of only more than two zhang from the city wall, and the cloud ladder flying bridge prepared by the Yuzhou army was also built on the head of the city for the first time!

Although the two ladders were soon cut down and broken, this breakthrough from scratch gave the Yuzhou army great encouragement. Mao Bao, who was in charge of the assault, even attacked the mound himself, opened his bow left and right, and shot frequently!

A large number of soldiers at the head of the city turned to the direction where the mound was located, which immediately caused an uncoordinated distribution of soldiers at the head of the city. The rushing car took advantage of the situation and advanced forward for a long distance, and another soldier rushed directly to the top of the rushing car, shooting high, and could already see the situation inside the city wall!

At this time, there was a sharp sound of drums and trumpets from the city, and then dozens of old and weak women and children were escorted to the city, crying and crying, but they could not break free from the swords and soldiers of the slave soldiers beside them.

Seeing this scene, Guo Yu's eyes were already frowning, he rushed out of the camp, and stood directly under the banner facing the wind, with his arms long lances horizontal, facing the city with his back to those Shouchun villagers who were watching the battle from afar, and shouted violently: "Take me as the boundary, the sword and shield array!" ”

The only two battalions of Yuzhou soldiers left in the rear formation, suddenly lined up with swords and shields, facing those people watching the battle, like a neat steel barrier!

"Wang Shi is strong! Wansheng! ”

Seeing the state of the Yuzhou army, the furniture of those who were inclined to Wang Shi earlier all clapped their hands and cheered, and at the same time, they quickly gathered their own Ding Zhuang troops in one place to guard against possible riots in the Quartet.

The old and weak women and children on the city wall were pressed to the top of the city, and then the slave soldiers were pressed by their arms and half of their bodies leaned out of the women's wall. For a while, the atmosphere on and off the city wall was a little stagnant, even if they didn't say anything to each other, everyone in the field knew that those old and weak women and children must be hostages who were detained by some families in the outer city, and they wanted to coerce them to fight back against Wang Shi.

"Keep the siege! The first to ascend praises the three armies! The king broke the slaves, repaid his life with his life, and avenged with blood! ”

After a moment's delay, Mao Bao broke out with an angry roar from his mouth on the mound, and the quiver behind his shoulder was empty, so he simply threw his bow aside, grabbed a bamboo spear nearby, and shot it towards the city wall with his arms on the ground.

This bamboo spear is particularly powerful, there is a slave soldier in the female wall bending down to take arrows, the wind in front of him is sudden, and then his body shook, the bamboo gun has been used as a chest to penetrate his body! The whole body of the slave soldier was brought up by the bamboo spear, and then the bamboo spear was deeply pierced into the inner wall of the rear earth rammer, directly nailing the slave soldier to the wall in the air!

Guo Yu stood in front of the military formation, his palms were already sweaty, and it was precisely because he knew that there was such a hidden danger, so he did not dare to delay time, and he had a long-term confrontation with the slave soldiers according to the city. At this time, I only hope that the strength of the Yuzhou army can deter those who are secretly with the slave soldiers, so that they dare not make trouble!

The fighting on the top of the city became fierce again, but the fighters outside the battle array fell into a strange dead silence, and people spontaneously gathered in small circles, either watching left and right, or retreating sharply. Just by appearance, it is really impossible to see who has a ghost in their heart.

The riot did not break out for a long time, and the Yuzhou army offensive near the city head became more violent, one car has been smashed, and the other has been leaning on the city wall, because the slave soldiers at the head of the city desperately counterattacked, and did not board the city wall for the time being.

"Kill!"

Seeing that there was no turmoil outside the city for a long time, the slave general had run out of patience, and after a loud shout, the blade in his hand had been cut off, and an old man nearby was suddenly divided into two ends from his waist, and the blood and liver sausages suddenly rolled down along the outer wall of the city wall!

"Kill slaves! Kill slaves! ”

Seeing the hostages being beheaded one by one, a violent and terrible howl suddenly erupted outside the battlefield, whether those hostages were their own relatives or not, witnessing such a brutal and inhumane scene, everyone burst out with hatred and could not restrain themselves.

The flying bridge at the mound was on the city again, and this time Mao Bao personally led his soldiers to step on the flying bridge, and rushed over the distance of more than two zhang. Nearly 100 slave soldiers have gathered on the left side of the city wall, seeing this scene, some leaned over and slashed the flying bridge, and some raised their heads and shot with their bows!

In an instant, Mao Bao was hit by several arrows, especially the arrow pierced in his right arm, which directly shook the blade in his hand! However, this tiger general finally jumped onto the city, and the arrow on his arm was directly pulled out by his bare hands, and his backhand poked into the eyes of the nearby slaves!

He carried the slave soldier's rear collar and shook it, and then the slave soldier's body shook sharply, gushing blood like a punctured water bag, which was caused by the sword slashing of the besieging slave soldier!

"Slaves die!"

After gaining a foothold on the city, Mao Bao was still unarmed, and he grabbed a slave thief with his backhand and smashed the helmet on the city wall. There was a bang, and the entire female wall was smashed through, and the head of the slave thief soldier was directly stuck in it by the deformed shackle, and his eyes burst out!

Slave soldiers have had the experience of abusing others with their bare hands, but in the real battle array. But I have never seen such a terrifying scene, and for a while, I was shocked one by one, and I subconsciously retreated and forgot to fight.

At this time, Mao Bao had already snatched the ring knife in the hand of a slave soldier, and tore off the armor that had been chopped and torn off his body and did not have the ability to defend himself. On the tiger walking in the city, there was no enemy near the left, and Zhou's body was soaked with blood, but there were only a lot of slave soldiers who fell to his side!

In the past, these slave soldiers were also arrogant and tyrannical, and their eyes were fearless, but now in the face of real warriors, one by one, they were like frightened quails, their knees were weak and their arms trembled. Another slave soldier stepped forward with a shield and a gun, and the backing was split with a knife in the forearm!

After drinking the blood of the slave, the knife was useless, Mao Bao swung his fist and directly smashed the face of the slave soldier. Then I looked to the side again, and there was no trace of defeat near the left!

"Win the first victory, kill the enemy with me!"

At this time, several flying bridges were erected, and the Yuzhou army continued to pour into the city, Mao Bao took the spear handed by the troops, and then pursued along the city wall to the city!

At this time, under the city wall, Guo Yu still led two battalions of swords and shields to confront the people of Shouchun Township, although those villagers saw that the Yuzhou army had reached the city first, one by one they had turned to cheers and cheers. But Guo Yu still didn't dare to relax, and didn't allow these people to get close to the back of the impact. Although there is no fierceness of sword soldiers here, in this short period of time, the sinister hearts of the people are even more dangerous than sword soldiers!

"The city is broken, the city is broken!"

The south gate of Jincheng was slammed open from the inside, and then the cheers of the soldiers rang out. Hearing this, Guo Yucai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and signaled to the villagers who had taken refuge earlier to take over the rear camp, and he led the sword and shield soldiers to maintain the formation and slowly retreat towards the city gate.

As the Yuzhou army entered Jincheng, more and more people in the outer city came closer to this place. After seeing the villagers who had been instructed by Guo Yu to clean up the battlefield happily under the city wall, there were many people who felt envious. The city has changed its owner again, and the coming day will inevitably be a turbulent adjustment.

As for the dozen or so corpses under the city walls that were taken hostage, they became extremely embarrassing at this moment, and no one dared to approach them. Even if there are their own flesh and blood relatives, no matter how much grief there is at this time, they can only hold back tears and hope silently.

At this time, the winter sun is slightly westward, and only then did someone realize that since the Yuzhou army officially attacked the city, it has only been nearly two hours, and a strong city has changed hands. And the slave soldiers and slave generals who seemed to them to be fierce and invincible earlier, if they were lucky, they could still leave a head to hang on the head of the city, but the unlucky ones were already gone!
