367. Chapter 367: Civil Strife
Li Li stood on the city wall, his face flushed, he pointed at Gao Shun from afar, and scolded angrily: "The thief invaded my city, killed my father, and slaughtered my brother, this hatred is not shared!" ”
"I swear here, if I don't break through Pusaka in the future and kill the thief Chen, I swear not to be a man!"
Li Li's face was extremely hideous, and he had lost his mind a little.
Looking at Li Li, who had lost his square inch, the corners of Gao Shun's mouth hooked an arc, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
"Kill!"
Fifteen hundred soldiers in heavy armor, holding round shields, and carrying bows and arrows on their backs also shouted in unison, and rushed to the city gate with neat steps.
Unlike Li Li, although Gao Shun also used those miscellaneous soldiers, he did not let them take the lead. In this way, in the hearts of these people, they will not think that Gao Shun will use them as cannon fodder.
Seeing that the commander-in-chief, officers and soldiers were all charging ahead, those miscellaneous soldiers naturally did not dare to slack off. They shouted loudly and charged forward after the trapped camp.
Li Li had already let people measure the distance of an arrow, and after seeing Gao Shun leading people into the range of bows and arrows, he suddenly roared loudly: "Archers, release arrows!" ”
"Chirp!"
The archers on the ramparts, the arrows they fired, flew into the positions of the trapped camp with a piercing sound of breaking through the air.
"Ding-bell, ding-bell!"
However, in the face of the soldiers in the trap camp who were wearing heavy armor and covered by a small round shield. These arrows hit them, and they could only let out a helpless scream.
The dense arrows could not stop the advance of the trapped camp at all.
Only two soldiers with siege equipment were accidentally shot through the gap in the middle of the armor and suffered some minor injuries.
Seeing that the formation of the trapped camp was not in the slightest disorder, they still walked with firm steps, little by little closer to the city wall.
Even though he knew that the tall city wall was an insurmountable natural danger, Li Li still felt a little panicked in his heart.
He shouted angrily, "Quick, quick, prepare for the wood, rolling stones!" Hugh wants the thieves to climb the walls! ”
Before the soldiers of the trapping camp reached the bottom of the city walls, Gao Shun made them stop their advance. Putting down the round shield, they revealed all their faces. I saw these trapped soldiers, dressed in heavy armor, and even wearing iron masks on their heads.
Gao Shun shouted loudly: "The whole army is wound with bows and arrows, and it is suppressed from a distance!" ”
Since the defender had the city wall to rely on, Gao Shun's trapped archers had no way to shoot at the enemy on the city wall from a stone's throw away.
Therefore, he let his men brave the rain of arrows to come closer to the city wall, and then began to shoot arrows into the city.
Li Li saw that the trapped camp stopped halfway, and he actually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as the soldiers in the camp did not forcibly climb the city wall, Li Li was not afraid of losing the Wuguan at all.
"Chirp!"
However, when an arrow grazed his ear, Li Li felt cold sweat all over his body.
"Chirp!"
The soldiers of the trapped camp shot arrows one after another, and people in the city kept falling to the ground. The arrows flew into the city, causing a great panic, and many of the guards couldn't help but flee backwards.
"Don't panic, don't panic, archers suppress!"
Seeing this, Li Li shouted loudly. However, his shouts did not have much effect at all, and most of the soldiers standing on the city wall were miscellaneous soldiers.
Coupled with Li Li's high-pressure policy, these soldiers had no fighting spirit at all. The reason why they stayed on the city wall was because they were afraid of Li Li in their hearts.
If the battle situation is favorable, they don't dare to have any second thoughts. But now, facing the blow of the archers in the trapped camp, many people are unwilling to lose their lives for Li Li.
Therefore, the city walls became chaotic for a while.
Li Li saw that the miscellaneous soldiers on the city wall were still in chaos, and he was immediately furious. He transferred a group of elite troops of the Western Liang Army to the city wall, but anyone who retreated in fear of the enemy was all killed.
Li Li's iron-blooded methods once again shocked the miscellaneous soldiers on the city wall. They also knew that if they continued to stay in front of the walls, they could be shot dead by the archers who were trapped in the camp.
However, if you don't fight now, you will be killed by the Xiliang army immediately. They naturally know which is more important. Therefore, the men gritted their teeth again and came to the edge of the city wall.
"Chirp!"
The archers in the camp kept shooting arrows, and the defenders on the city walls, after panicking for a while, also began to shoot arrows sporadically to counterattack.
However, the powerful equipment of the trapped camp blocked one arrow after another for them.
Except for those archery marksmen with amazing archery skills and strong men who can shoot a strong bow with one stone, the defenders on the city wall have no way to get up to the soldiers who are trapping the camp.
The trap that was firing at the soldiers on the city wall attracted the attention of many of the defenders, who did not dare to raise their heads at all, only occasionally got up and fired an arrow, and the two sides were at a stalemate on the battlefield.
The move of trapping the camp made the miscellaneous soldiers behind them face a lot less bow and arrow blows.
These miscellaneous soldiers, they didn't come empty-handed. There were many people carrying ladders, pushing carts, and holding stout trees, slowly approaching the city walls.
Under the cover of the trapping camp, these miscellaneous soldiers soon came under the city walls.
"Boom!"
Hundreds of people hugged a thick tree and slammed into the gate of Wuguan, making an earth-shattering sound.
However, the majestic and sturdy iron gate of Wuguan only shook slightly, and there was no movement at all.
"Boom"!
The giant tree struck again, and even though Li Li trusted the sturdiness of the city gate, he was still a little worried.
He shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Pour out the fire oil and burn the giant wood that the thieves have struck at the city gate!" ”
Pots and pots of fire oil were poured down and poured on the giant trees and the soldiers.
"Boom!"
Rockets descended from the top of the city walls, and the soldiers and giant trees doused with fire oil were all engulfed in flames.
The soldiers, who were on fire, rolled on the ground, and let out a terrible scream.
"Shoot those people!"
Gao Shun shouted loudly, and the soldiers of the trapped camp behind him aimed their bows and arrows at the Wuguan defenders who poured fire oil.
A round of arrows fell, and many more fell on the city wall.
However, the miscellaneous soldiers who were preparing to attack the city with siege equipment were frightened by the fire oil. The soldiers pushing the rushing cart were also hesitant and hesitated.
Seeing this, Gao Shun hurriedly shouted loudly: "You just have to step forward, I will cover for you!" ”
When the soldiers heard Gao Shun's words, they looked at the defenders on the city wall who no longer dared to rise, and then they mustered up their courage again and rushed forward.
For a moment, the soldiers began to ram the city gate with their chariots, and the soldiers carrying the ladder also set up the ladder and began to climb the city wall.
Seeing this, Li Li roared loudly: "Send people to block the city gate, and the Xiliang army will also go to the city wall to defend!" ”
"Boom!"
As soon as Li Li's words fell, he saw a fire in the city, and the sound of shouting and killing was deafening.
Li Li's head was still a little bent, and he pulled his throat and shouted, "What happened? What's going on? ”
