When the boiling oil is poured down, it is often the people on a cloud ladder who have suffered, even if they are not disfigured on the face, it is normal to be drenched on the armor of the shield, after all, when people are on the ladder, there is not much room to move and dodge, and it is impossible to flash the boiling oil that splashes to the sky.

After the torch is thrown down, when it touches the oil stains slightly, it immediately ignites a raging fire, and even the people take the ladder to burn it to the ground.

This method is much more powerful than other weapons, not only can kill and injure the soldiers of the Jin army besieging the city, but also can destroy the siege equipment of the Jin army, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and the tragic situation after being burned is basically not able to witness the direct gaze, which will have a strong sense of shock to the Jin army besieging the city, how a tragic word.

After dozens of ladders were destroyed in a row, the Jin army's offensive could not help but be frustrated, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on the head, and confidence and morale were greatly reduced.

Wen Yang's face became very ugly, originally he attacked Pingyang, and it was already the old lady who ate persimmons to pick up soft pinch, but unexpectedly, this kick still hit the iron plate, and the defensive strength of Pingyang City was completely beyond Wen Yang's expectations.

The defenders of several thousand people, belonging to the second-rate combat force, no matter from that point of view, this is a siege battle without suspense.

But it is such a second-rate army, but it has extraordinary combat effectiveness, in the face of the fierce offensive launched by the Jin army, the fight is quite tenacious, the first round of the Jin army's all-out attack, it turned out to be heavy casualties, no achievements.

Could it be that the Jin army is too weak? Wen Yang asked himself, but he quickly denied this idea, this army is the elite division under his command, and the Huns have repeatedly made meritorious achievements in the battle, dare not say that they have experienced a hundred battles, dozens of battles are always there, the combat experience is very rich, and the morale of the army is even more solid, if such an army can still be called a weak brigade, Wen Yang does not know what kind of army is worthy of the title of Xiongshi.

But it was such an army that Wen Yang was proud of, but it was planted in front of a small county town, and the garrison army in this county town was only a second-rate team in the Shu army, far from reaching the standard of the main force of the Shu army.

This made Wen Yang feel a great shame, Wen Yang is known as the first brave general of the dynasty, and the army under his command is naturally the first brave army, a brave army can't take a small Pingyang City, and the nameless fire in Wen Yang's chest is rising.

With a blushing face, he re-deployed a new offensive, and Wen Yang's goal was that no matter what, he had to take Pingyang City before it got dark.

The Jin army mobilized ballistas and added archers, intended to provide strong cover for the besieging troops, and countless arrows staggered through the air, and at the most dense, many arrows would collide and fall in the air.

Although the Jin army was in a disadvantageous position to attack from the back, this disadvantage could be compensated by numbers, and the Jin army sent as many as 5,000 crossbowmen at one time, far exceeding the archers of the Shu army in number, making the Jin army gain an overwhelming advantage in the shooting.

What is more sharp is the bed crossbow of the Jin army, although it is not as powerful as the crossbow of the Shu army, but the power of a single arrow is stronger than that of the ballista, and the crossbow arrows with the barrel of the gun are unparalleled in terms of penetration and destructive power, which also caused a large number of casualties to the Shu army defending the city.

In view of the fact that the ladder was seriously damaged by the Shu army, in addition to participating in the attack on the city, the bed ballista was to launch the pedal arrows, and rows of crossbow arrows were nailed to the rammed earth wall, forming a "ladder" that could be stepped on, and this "ladder" was simply indestructible to the Shu army, and the Jin soldiers could drag the pedal arrows all the way to the city.

Jiang Yuan's face was also very solemn, repelling the first wave of the Jin army's attack did not make him much easier, on the contrary, Jiang Yuan felt that the burden on his shoulders was extremely heavy, because he knew very well that Wen Yang would not give up, and the real test was still to come.

Sure enough, the Jin army mobilized a large number of bed crossbows and archers to launch an unscrupulous attack on Pingdanyang City, and the dense rain of arrows made the casualties of the Shu army continue to increase, and the casualties of personnel mean that the strength of the defending force is weak, and it is really difficult to say whether it can withstand the fierce attack of the Jin army.

Whether it is for the attacker or the defender, fighting around the city is a bitter battle, and the Shu army can easily repel the first wave of the Jin army's offensive, but it does not mean that the next wave of the Jin army's offensive can be easily defused.

In the case of the enemy's strength and weakness, each wave of perseverance is the final decisive battle for the Shu army, once lost, it is a waste of previous efforts. As the battle progressed, the garrison of the Shu army would become more and more difficult, the personnel were constantly decreasing, and the Jin army's attack was constantly increasing.

After the attack of the bed crossbow stopped, the siege troops of the Jin army pounced again, and the corpses scattered all over the city did not make him afraid, but only aroused the fighting spirit and arrogance in their hearts.

The cloud ladder is still the first choice of the Jin army, although it has been destroyed a lot by the Shu army, but this weapon is convenient to carry, even if it is a temporary construction, a large number can be made in a short time.

However, compared with the first wave, the Jin army had one more way to attack the city, and the treadmill arrows firmly fixed on the city wall became the favorite of many Jin troops.

Compared to the ladder, which can be easily destroyed, the stomping arrows are much stronger, and two-thirds of each huge crossbow arrow is deeply nailed into the rammed earth wall, and there is no chance to set it out, and the remaining one-third on the outside is quite strong, and can fully withstand the weight of an adult.

What's more advantageous is that the crossbow arrows nailed to the city wall are very regular, neatly arranged in a row, and even the intervals are basically the same, from low to high, all the way to the top of the city, along the passage given by the treadmill arrows, the Jin army can easily reach the head of the city.

The battle became more intense, under the cover of a large number of bows and arrows, the Jin army's offensive was like a tide, and the two sides fought the fiercest battle around the siege and defense of the city.

At this time, the disadvantages of the weak strength of the Shu army were revealed, after all, the Jin army was superior in numbers, and for every casualty of one person, there would inevitably be another person behind, and the Shu army had already done its best, and one casualty was lost, that is, there was really one less.

However, the Shu army was united, and in the unfavorable situation, it still stubbornly held on, repelled wave after wave of offensives of the Jin army, and tried to ensure that Pingyang was not lost.
