Mo Xiaobai and Zhou Yu's judgment was not wrong, just less than a day apart, a coalition army corps of 5,000 people, with a lot of siege equipment, slowly opened a battle at the east gate of Xingyang City.

"We should really be glad that Xingyang City is not big, and the total length of a city wall is only 300 zhang."

Mo Xiaobai stood at the head of the city, shook his head and sighed: "If it is a big city like Luoyang, even if there are thousands of soldiers, it is far from enough to lay out the city defense. ”

Xingyang is not Luoyang, but Mo Xiaobai has less than 1,000 soldiers in his hands at the moment.

Nearly 600 rangers, plus 200 guards, faced six or seven times as many enemy troops, Mo Xiaobai touched his chin, no matter how he thought about it, he had a bad premonition.

Fortunately, although Xingyang is small, it is not without a little advantage. After the Xingyang Order opened the arsenal, most of the various weapons and equipment in Xingyang have been sent to the city.

There are no large instruments, but there is no shortage of spears, large shields, arrows and strong bows.

"Drama heroes, this battle depends on your power first." A glance swept over the group of rangers behind him, almost with a strong bow. Mo Xiaobai said with a smile.

"Hmm."

Although Ju Meng has always been quite famous, it is the first time that he really wants to lead the troops into battle. A dull nod counts as a response, and it is not difficult to see that this Henan hero is actually a little nervous.

When the coalition forces gradually stopped a mile outside the city, the rear troops soon came out with a trebuchet and five ladders.

The five different battle formations immediately took over, each carrying a ladder, as if they were ready to attack.

"The archers attack, the shield guards in front!"

As the commander of this 5,000-soldier army, Pang De, who was appointed by Zhigang to attack Xingyang, did not let the five infantry take the lead, and with a wave of his right hand, he first gave the order to attack the two armies behind him.

200 round shield soldiers and 500 archers marched in ten rows, constantly approaching the city.

Seeing that the coalition forces began to move in the distance, Zhou Yu, who had taken over the command of Xingyang City, immediately raised his hand.

As soon as Zhou Yu raised his hand, many rangers understood that they would bend their bows and arrows.

200 meters

150 meters

100 meters

The enemy army outside the city gradually approached, and when there was only 80 miles left from the city, Zhou Yu slammed down his raised arm.

"Whoosh"

Sharp arrows flew down from the top of the city, overwhelmingly smashing into the mixed army formation outside the city.

The soldiers outside the city relied on the round shield to resist a small number of arrows, and still maintained their original speed and formation to sprint forward, until they reached a position of 50 meters, and the archers pulled the bowstring one by one.

There are shield soldiers under the city, and Xingyang also has a large shield of the arsenal.

A hundred soldiers placed their shields at the head of the city, and soon the entire city wall was covered with the sound of 'clanging'.

"Up!"

Seeing that the Xingyang defenders were fighting against the archers, Pang De immediately ordered the five melee regiments that were ready to join the battle.

Each corps is a standard team of 500 people, and when 2,500 soldiers rush to the city, the east gate of Xingyang City, which is not too wide, will immediately be surrounded by the enemy.

"The fierce war is about to begin." Holding the spear tightly with both hands, Mo Xiaobai muttered in a low voice.

In this battle, he also had to take the lead.

On Mo Xiaobai's right side, Dumb looked at the dense soldiers below, and said in a low voice after a while: "Today's battle, in terms of danger, is compared with the original battle of Shache King City in the Western Regions. ”

"What's more, I at least had the bottom of that battle, but I don't have the bottom at the moment."

Mo Xiaobai was telling the truth, the first battle in the Western Regions seemed to be a dangerous situation, but it was under his control from beginning to end.

Unlike the current battle situation, Mo Xiaobai is really not sure that he can hold Xingyang steadily.

When the ladders were leaning against the side of the wall, without Mo Xiaobai's command, the surrounding soldiers had already lifted the boulders and heavy logs beside them.

Sticking to the city, these fortified materials can also play a role in determining the outcome of the battle.

As the siege officially began, there were soon screams from soldiers under the city.

However, the Xingyang city wall is not too high, as long as you grasp the gap once or twice, you can easily climb the wall with a height of only two zhang along the ladder.

"Get the hell out of here!"

Mo Xiaobai stabbed forward with the tip of his spear and accurately hit the left chest of a soldier holding a Pu knife. In the next moment, the arm strengthened again, stabbing the Pu Dao soldiers who were about to step into the city wall in front of him outside the city.

Dumb on the side was not idle, lifting a large stone weighing at least forty pounds and throwing it down, smashing the soldiers who were climbing up back to the ground.

Joining the battle so early was purely helpless for Mo Xiaobai and the others. The dilemma of a shortage of troops forced the two to go all out from the moment the war began.

The machine repeats the same action, while trying to avoid the occasional random arrow from outside the city. Although the situation is not good, it has finally firmly protected the one-third of an acre of land around him.

Mo Xiaobai and Dumb worked together, and with the surrounding Han soldiers, they were able to hold a cloud ladder attack point. Zhou Yu, who was 100 meters away, as well as Ju Meng, who was going farther away, and Ma Lin, the school captain, also held their own 'territory'.

Only the fifth ladder climbed in the direction of no one to command, and only relied on the rangers to block freely. Fortunately, although the rangers do not have access to the army, the strength of each individual is above the soldiers, and there are no mistakes in a short period of time.

Siege warfare has always been cruel and abnormal.

Especially on the besieging side, the number of casualties is increasing almost every second.

Seeing that the five ladders were dispatched together and failed to get too many results, but fell into an endless tug-of-war, Pound waved his right hand and signaled for the catapult to appear.

Unlike ordinary second-order archers, who needed to take 50 paces to launch a threatening assault on the city, the catapult only pushed forward forty-five paces before stopping.

Perhaps seeing that the strength of 'Mo Xiaobai' and 'Dumb' was much lower than that of Zhou Yu and Ju Meng, Pang De's order to the catapult team was to attack Mo Xiaobai's location first.

It didn't take long for the huge stone to be installed and thrown, and the first test throw began quickly.

With a 'crunch' mechanical impact, the casserole-sized stone only flew for a short second, and then smashed into the edge of the stone wall behind Mo Xiaobai.

Since he was reborn, he has always bullied others with his Yuan Rong crossbow and trebuchet, and now for the first time, he was attacked by someone with a catapult, Mo Xiaobai's head shrank, and his face naturally didn't look good.

Dumb looked at the smashed stone, and his throat couldn't help but swallow up and down. If this thing were to be smashed on oneself, it would hurt to death if it wasn't stoned to death.

However, before he could speak, a second flying stone flew in from outside the city. This time, there was obviously an adjustment, and it just smashed towards Mo Xiaobai and Dumb's heads impartially.

"Boom~"

The two of them subconsciously rolled sideways to dodge, and at the same time, the boulder falling from the sky slammed into the stone slab where the two were standing.

The boulder cracked in all directions, leaving a deep scar in the face.

"We're being targeted."

Rolling around to avoid the heavy blow of the stone-throwing, Dumb came back to his senses and immediately leaned his back against the wall and asked Mo Xiaobai, who was five meters away: "There is no way to rise up now, what should I do?" ”

"Raise the shield, carry it!"

Mo Xiaobai didn't hesitate, and directly gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what method is used, you can't let them break through from here." ”
