Under the city of Heyang.

The drums of war beat and shook the heavens and the earth.

The Don Army set up an attack lineup. The siege equipment of the Tang army was all newly built, and even the bark on the ladder and ram had not yet been peeled off.

The vanguard of the Tang army's attack on Heyang City was the head of the Luzhou marching road, Liu Dewei, the prince of Pengcheng County. Liu Dewei was originally the protector of the Qi Palace, and during the Battle of Taiyuan that year, he guarded Taiyuan City with Li Yuanji, but the city was still broken by the Zhao army.

In the later campaign against Wang Shichong, he was under the command of Li Shimin, and he led his army to capture Hanoi.

Liu Dewei's Luzhou army, holding a wooden shield in his hand, approached the north gate of Beizhong City step by step.

In front of the army, the Yellow River is surging, the waves are beating the river beach one after another, the north middle city only has the north and south city gates, and the city walls on the east and west sides are built along the river beach. The muddy river beach not only made it difficult for siege weapons to advance, but even the siege soldiers were very difficult to walk on it. Several ladder trucks of the Tang army were now stuck on the river beach, unable to advance or retreat.

The arrows at the head of the city were fierce, and the Zhao army obviously had enough archers and crossbowmen, as well as a stockpile of arrows, and they did not mean to skimp on arrows in the slightest. The overwhelming coverage of arrows made the Tang army under the city almost unable to raise its head.

Liu Dewei has always been a very calm general, seeing that the soldiers are not in a good way, he is not impatient, but ordered the strong men in the army to erect a wooden fence a hundred steps away from the city wall, and the soldiers died behind the wooden fence to avoid the arrows and boulders shot on the head of the city.

Liu Dewei didn't know this move, which made Li Jiancheng very dissatisfied, and he said angrily: "My 120,000 troops are gathered here, if you can't even go down this small city in Heyang, what face do you have to see the father and elder in Guanzhong, go and ask him, when will this Liu Dewei rub it off." ”

Speaking of which, Li Jiancheng immediately sent his soldiers to the front army to urge. Liu Dewei did not dare to disobey Li Jiancheng's order, and immediately sent an elite siege city.

As the horn sounded, the Tang army, which was hiding, broke away from the bunker one after another. Holding a round shield in his hand, he charged down to the city. The equipment of the Luzhou army was not bad, and the first batch of soldiers who besieged the city wore iron helmets, covered with multiple thick armor made of cowhide, and held round shields in their hands.

Although there are bronze shields and iron shields in the army, they are all used for honor guards and will not be used in battle. Because if the iron shield is too big, it is too heavy to charge in the hand, and if it is too small, it cannot cover too many parts.

Therefore, the Tang sergeant held a wooden shield that was still the same color. The city was full of arrows, and the wooden shield could barely resist the arrows on the city. But for the besieging Tang army. The greatest difficulty was not the arrows on the city, but the mudflats on the ground.

The soldiers' straw sandals and the generals' boots fell into the mudflats from time to time, which greatly slowed down the progress of the soldiers. Not only that, but it was even more difficult to advance with siege weapons. When they reached a distance of seventy paces from the city, the slings on the head of the city maneuvered, and the boulder slashed through the air and fell into the infantry formation of the Tang army.

A crash car with half wheels stuck on a river beach. It was hit by a boulder with a bang and immediately fell apart.

At this time, the sound of the machine on the head of the city sounded continuously.

"Squat down and raise your shield." Liu Dewei shouted, and the Tang sergeant immediately raised his shield in a half-squat.

Immediately, the crossbow arrows and throwing stones of the bed crossbow on the head of the city fell into the Tang army's formation again. The fragile wooden shield could not resist the bolts fired from the bed crossbow, and the arrows pierced through the bodies of the wooden shield and the soldiers, and were nailed to the city walls.

Seeing this bloody scene, several Tang soldiers were frightened. Throwing down the shield in his hand, he wanted to flee back into the formation, but he had only taken a few steps before his head fell to the ground. Andy Lau's personal soldiers played the role of supervising the team.

"If you can't capture Heyang City, the prince wants my head, I can't live, and you don't want to live!" Liu Dewei shouted with murderous anger on his face.

The Tang soldiers of the Luzhou Army all woke up. I know that everyone is the same at this moment.

Liu Dewei knew that if he wanted to break through Beizhong City quickly, he wanted to capture his city gate, so he concentrated five or six crashed cars and let the soldiers drag them to the city gate. The arrows at the head of the city were like rain. The Tang sergeants carried half of the boat and rushed to the city.

The half-cut boat was a little rough, resembling a small boat with the bottom facing up, and there were four pillars at each of the left and right corners of the boat, and four soldiers supported the pillars to advance. There were also a dozen Tang soldiers under the ship. This half-ship was undoubtedly much thicker than a wooden shield, and it was very good for dodging arrows.

After the Tang army approached the city, the city head struggled to throw rolling logs and stones downward. The wooden shield was smashed, and the person under the wooden sign was directly smashed by the rolling log, breaking his neck and spine, and struggling on the ground screaming.

Only the Tang sergeants who relied on the half-cut boat profitably offset the blow of the rolling wood and stones, and most of the Tang soldiers and soldiers of the half-cut boat arrived safely and attached to the city wall. They removed the shovel from behind them and began to dig the roots of the wall. Heyang City is a rammed earth built city, rammed earth city walls are trapezoidal, narrow above, wide below, and the wall foundation is very solid, so the Tang soldiers are shoveling on the city wall, just digging out a few adobes, but despite this, the Tang soldiers are still digging hard under the city wall.

At the city gate, a huge crash car, driven by more than 100 Tang soldiers, slowly approached the city gate.

The crossbowmen of the Zhao army were very afraid of the collision car, and the soldiers on the upper floors of the triple castle and the left and right horse walls desperately covered the crashing car with arrows. The Tang sergeant, who was holding a wooden shield and pushing the crashing car forward, was hit by an arrow from time to time, but someone on the side immediately substituted for him, advancing one after another.

On the city tower, the soldiers of Zhao immediately shook the wheeled car, and hung in front of the city gate with a gange board wrapped in iron leaf nails, blocking the Tang army from crashing the road. The Tang sergeant didn't care about the gange board in front of him, so he pushed the crashing car and hit the gange board towards the city gate together!

At the moment when the Tang army collided and approached the city gate, two ladder trucks also approached the city, and the Tang army originally had seven ladder trucks, but three were destroyed by Zhao Jun's stone throwing, and two were trapped in the mudflat, and they have not been able to pull it out.

So there were only two ladder trucks approaching the city wall. Although the ladder car of the Tang Army was built in a hurry, it was also roughly equipped with the frame of the ladder car, a long ladder for folding, a carriage for hiding soldiers, and a wheel for running and dragging.

After the ladder truck approached the city, it quickly hooked the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Liu Dewei, who was supervising the battle under the city, raised the long sword at the moment and roared: "Rush! ”

In ancient times, there was a military name first, which means that the first to attack the city during the siege, such soldiers are not afraid of death, for no other reason, because the first soldier to climb the city has the highest death rate, usually nine deaths, and the soldiers who can not put life and death aside can not be responsible.

There were hundreds of Tang soldiers who followed the ladder forward, and they all drank a large bowl of liquor before leaving, and under the shouting and killing of the battlefield, their spirits were extremely excited.

At the moment when the ladder landed on the city, the general on the side of the ladder urged: "It's time to go." ”

Hearing this, these Tang Jun were all fierce, like evil beasts!

"Go first!"

"Brother, so-and-so will come later!"

"Those who are not afraid of death will not die!"

"Eighteen years later, the master is still a man!"

After saying this, the Tang army followed the ladder and the ants attached to it!
