The sassagers caused great difficulties to the homeless people on the ladders, standing on the narrow ladders with nowhere to hide, and every time they fell a log, they could almost knock down all the people who climbed them, and even if they landed, they could hit a few unlucky ghosts.

Just when the displaced people were at a loss, the people on the city wall carried heavy stones to the wall, and then pushed them down, and dozens of stones "rumbled" down the wall, smashing the "cannon fodder" who held the ladder into pulp.

The ladder could not be climbed, and it was not safe to stand under the base of the city wall, and the displaced people began to commotion, and sporadic people began to retreat, and it seemed that a crowd of people was about to flee.

Seeing this, the leader of the displaced people in charge of the command in the rear gave a loud order, and gave the bow to step forward to stabilize the situation. The archers, urged by the warlords, approached the walls and prepared to suppress the head of the city with their arrows.

Su Thick Legs could be seen clearly on the wall, and the flow of people besieging the city temporarily stopped moving, and a large number of foot archers of the Wandering People's Army stepped forward, so he ordered Minyong to take a few steps back to make room for the recruits of the standard battalion to come forward with guns and shoot. The offensive and defensive sides began-for-tat suppression and counter-suppression.

With the order of the leader of the Wandering People's Army, thousands of foot archers stretched their bows and arrows, released the strings, and "buzzed", a burst of cotton-like bowstring vibrations sounded, and dense arrows took off like a swarm of bees, flew into the sky, and flew towards the defenders at the head of the wall. Before the recruits of the standard battalion were reloading, they had time to shoot, and some of them fell from arrows.

Su's thick legs did not change color, and ordered the reserve team to fill the vacant position.

Just when most of the recruits were about to finish loading their ammunition, the "buzzing" sound under the city sounded again, and the dense arrows flew over again.

Despite the cover of the battlements of the city walls, many soldiers were wounded by arrows and withdrew from the battle.

At this moment, the soldier who had finished reloading poked his head out, raised his rifle and fired the first shot of the counterattack. "Boom, boom", a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and the almost unstoppable foot archers fell in pieces.

Although the battle loss ratio was extremely uneven, these infantry archers still held their ground under the pressure of the warlords, did not retreat, and fired the third and fourth arrows one after another.

In the dense rain of arrows like locusts, Su bent his waist and shuttled through various sections of the city wall, reminding loudly: "Hide behind the wall when loading to avoid unnecessary injuries!" ”

The recruits of the standard battalion did not have much actual combat experience, and many of them opened fire without even putting lead bullets into the chamber of their guns when they were nervous, and there was no lethality except for burning black powder and setting off a firework, and more people mechanically reloaded according to the actions of the training, but they would not use the battlements of the city wall to cover themselves. Under the reminder of Su Thick Legs, the recruits suddenly realized that after firing the gun, they would hide behind the battlement to reload, and then shoot with the probe after the reloading, which greatly reduced the chance of being hit by arrows.

Their opponents were not so lucky, and the archers had no cover to cover for, so they could only carry the lead bullets on the opposite side with their flesh and blood. They originally thought that the fire speed of the officers and soldiers' "bird guns" was still as slow as usual, and they suppressed the opponent with a rain of arrows so that they could not raise their heads, and covered others to attack the city wall, even if the task was completed. However, these "bird guns" were unexpected, and the speed of firing was frightening, although they were still not as fast as bows and arrows, but they were several times stronger than the officers and soldiers they had seen before.

After the second and third rounds of rifle firing, the infantry archers had already suffered more than 30% of the battle losses under the continuous blows, and after firing five or six arrows in a row, their arms had begun to be sore, but the "bird gun" on the opposite side showed no signs of fatigue at all, and was still firing one shot at a time, and the speed did not decrease at all.

This kind of shooting made people desperate, and the archers began to stir. They couldn't pull the bowstring anymore, and the deadly buckshot on the wall still "swished" over, standing in place and only being a target, and some gave up drawing the bow and turned to run.

The Warlord slashed a few foot archers, but they could not stop the decline of the battlefield, and the staying power of the bows and arrows was not comparable to the muskets after all, and the foot archers had been completely suppressed by the muskets. The commander hesitated for a moment, and ordered the overseers to get out of the way and let the archers retreat - the time cost of archers' training was very high, and it was not easy to get these men together, and if they were all consumed in a siege, they would not be able to eat and walk around on their own—the infantry archers rushed to the rear in a swarm as if they had been pardoned.

Without the suppression of bows and arrows, the people became active again, and the sassal trees and stones fell one after another, smashing the homeless people crying and calling their mothers, and the momentum of the siege was completely contained.

The Exile Army.

Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong both saw that Ximen's offensive was blocked, and their faces were not very good-looking. The west gate is the direction of the main attack, and the most troops are invested, and it is still like this, and the battle situation between the north gate and the south gate can be imagined.

Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth and said: "These melon skins are really cowardly, and no one has been able to go up to the city wall after fighting for so long." Send the order to go down, give Lao Tzu a pile of human lives, don't attack the city wall, and all the people who participated in the siege will come to see you! ”

Gao Yingxiang frowned, he felt that it was not a way to do it so brutally, but he thought so in his heart, but he didn't speak. Because Zhang Xianzhong wanted to enter the city first, the main force attacking Ximen was his men, Gao Yingxiang didn't say anything about his mind before the war, and now he uses his life to fill it, and the one who died is not his own person, let him go.

The person next to him shuddered when he heard this. Zhang Xianzhong is cruel by nature, saying that if he kills, he will definitely kill people, and it seems that if he doesn't make a name for himself today, the people who are attacking the city in front will not escape death.

The Eight Kings personally gave the order to die, and the besiegers scrambled to climb the ladder like cats with their tails trampled on. Attacking the city wall may lead to death, but there is also a possibility of survival, it is better than being executed in an extremely cruel way by the Eight Great Kings, and being tortured so much that there is no whole body when you die.

Zhu Dadian, who was standing in the city tower and watching the battle, said "Huh", the original defense of the city wall was well organized under the organization of Su Thick Legs, and the offensive of the Liukou had been weakened, why did he suddenly jump up again as if he had taken medicine?

Su's thick legs are also a little strange, the morale of the besieging side has been frustrated, that breath is gone, before finding a new way, launching an offensive is also a refueling tactic, which will only make more people come up and send them to death, doesn't the head of the rogue have common sense on the battlefield?

Strange to strange, Su did not relax at all, urging the sergeants and the people to continue to persevere.

Although the besieging side was at a disadvantage in the battle, the number of displaced people was too large, and they quickly used their lives to consume the sassal wood and stones on the wall. When they saw that there were no more logs or boulders falling, the outcasts burst into cheers and scrambled to climb the ladder and rush to the walls.
