The first to rush to the city wall were the engineers carrying the iron frame, they were all strong, wearing thick leather armor, and the key parts were sewn with metal plates, and the defense was extremely strong, and it was difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to hurt them, plus the protection of the most advanced heavy shields, and they came to the city with only a small number of casualties.

At this time, the female soldiers had stopped shooting, half of them regrouped, waiting for the construction of the platform to be completed, and the other half of the female soldiers were ready to support with bows and arrows at any time.

Build a platform, just like building blocks, need to be combined piece by piece, this is an extremely time-consuming work, but also extremely dangerous work, the engineers against the city to shoot the arrow rain to rush forward, the iron frame neatly arranged, and someone took out the tools to carry the iron frame edge of the snap ring buckle, fixed with screws, soon, a one meter high, more than ten meters long and wide base to build the completion, part of the engineers with a shield to carry more iron frame, part of the iron frame is hiding under the iron frame waiting.

These iron frames are made of iron pipes linked by screws, which are quite sturdy, and are much lighter than the siege equipment made of rough wood, but the volume is too large, and it takes a lot of manpower to carry them.

None of the iron frames are covered with wooden planks on one side, and the engineers hiding below don't have to care about the arrows fired from the city wall, as long as they are careful of the opponent's fire attack, but even if the enemy sets fire, it doesn't matter, anyway, with such a thin layer of wooden planks, it can't burn any big fire.

The second batch of iron frames arrived, followed by the third batch, and the fourth batch, and the platform tower continued to increase in height, and the difficulty gradually increased.

At the same time, the other infantry had erected ladders, and the soldiers climbed to the head of the city with their shields, or were shot by feathered arrows and fell halfway, or rushed to the head of the city and were cut by random blades, and fell down, the battle was extremely tragic, this is the sadness of the besieging side and the reality that they have to face.

With a bang, an iron frame rolled down from the platform, several engineers were pressed underneath, a lot of blood gushed out of their mouths, seeing that they could not survive, the officer hurriedly ordered the other soldiers to remove the iron frame and continue to build upwards, and at the same time, let the soldiers who went back to carry the iron frame send a few wounded soldiers who had not died to the rear for treatment, which was repeatedly explained by Yuan Fang, without delaying the battle situation, once there was a chance, the wounded must be treated first.

The battle continued, and soldiers continued to fall, although Yuan Fang had also experienced several wars, he still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he saw this scene, and his mood was also a little unstable, he yelled hysterically, and ordered the engineering troops to build the platform tower as soon as possible at all costs.

In the city, Luo Siping and others gathered together, their faces were not very good-looking, they lost a lot of brothers when they stormed the south gate just now, although they successfully opened the gate and destroyed it, but they did useless work, their own troops did not seize the best opportunity, and now the city gate has been closed, and it is obviously impossible to sneak attack in the past.

The shouting of killing on the south city wall shook the sky, and the same was true in the direction of the west city, Luo Siping was a little blindsided, didn't he say that the west was feinting? Why does it seem that the battle is more fierce than in Nancheng? The fifth master, whose arm was wrapped in bandages, was a little confused, and asked, "Second master, what is going on?" In the end, that is the main attack? ”

Luo Siping was angry and said: "You ask me, who am I going to ask?" ”

The sixth master looked around and said, "Second master, we have lost almost half of our manpower, what should we do next?" ”

Luo Siping took a deep breath, calmed himself down as much as possible, and after a while, he said: "It is impossible for our two hundred people to rush hard, in this way, everyone will go to the north of the city first, create chaos, and say that the enemy has come in and has begun to slaughter the city, Lao Qi, you take your brothers to pretend to be people and incite residents to rush to the city gate, let's see if we can fish in troubled waters." ”

The Seven Master nodded and asked, "Which city gate to go to?" South Gate or West Gate? This is a problem, and it is difficult for Luo Siping to choose for a while. At this moment, I saw from a distance that the shouting and killing sound on the west city wall was loud, and a large group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Eastern Saint Empire appeared on the city wall, and the defenders were rushed like this, constantly retreating, and some unlucky ones were directly squeezed off the city, and there was chaos on the city wall.

Luo Siping gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Go to the West City Gate." ”

At this time, a platform under the city wall has been successfully built, the engineer shuttles between the layers of iron frame and constantly takes out the card ring and screw reinforcement, the wooden plank above their heads is constantly trampled, the female soldier who has been waiting for a long time holds a shield to defend the formation and climbs, rushing to the head of the city, during the period, the female soldiers on the periphery shoot feather arrows or crossbow arrows from time to time to return fire, whether it is the defenders on the city wall or the female soldiers on the besieging side of the city continue to be shot and fall.

The female soldiers rushed to the head of the city and the defenders started hand-to-hand combat, as more and more female soldiers joined the battle, the defenders were pressed back and forth, there was no pressure from the city wall, and soon, the other two towers were also built, and more soldiers poured up to the city, and after a simple rectification, they opened their shield arrays and advanced towards the gate in the middle of the city wall.

The county lieutenant stood on the tower of the city gate and looked at the enemy troops pouring into the city like a tide, knowing that the general situation had gone, but he was not reconciled, and still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that General Wang, who had just left not long ago, would arrive in time with his 50,000 horses, so that there would be hope for Pear Blossom City. The western city wall was breached, and the defenders from other directions divided their troops to support, and Yuan Fang would not be able to occupy the city wall and open the city gate for a while.

In the south of the city, Qin Yan commanded the Rock Legion to storm the city gate, but the city gate has been closed, and it is not so easy to break it open, and the resistance of the defenders in the south of the city is very tenacious, and Qin Yan They do not have too many archers to suppress, so that they are still in the stage of passive beating, and the construction of the platform tower is even more difficult, at this time, the fastest one is only a little more than half built, and there is still a long distance from completion.

In the west of the city, Yuan Fang saw that the tower had been completed, and almost half of the soldiers had already ascended to the top of the city, and the overall situation had been decided, so he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Yuqing looked at the chaotic battlefield and said to the herald beside herald, "Order the archers to move north and attack the castle tower and the enemy troops north of the city wall. ”

Yuan Fang did not attack the entire west city wall in a large area, but concentrated their forces to attack the southern half of the west city wall, now their own troops have occupied most of the city wall, is advancing in the south and north directions, with the cooperation of the bow and arrow troops can reduce the pressure on their own side, capture the entire city wall faster, and the most important thing is to occupy the city gate faster.

The city gate is very important for the besieging side, and the same is true for the Yuan side, the attacking troops are not only the Taiji Legion, but also seven thousand cavalry are looking forward to it, as cavalry, they are not good at attacking fortifications, but once the city gate is opened and rushes into the city, the cavalry will become a nightmare for the defenders in the city. 10
