Chapter 342 Killing the Head of Shouchun City(2/2)
"No." Li Su said, "General Dian Wei is the lord's close servant, how can he take risks easily?"
Li Su’s implication is, what if you, Dian Wei, have three or two shortcomings, who will protect Ma Yue in the future?
Dian Wei said anxiously: "Lord!"
"Dian Wei cannot go out to fight." Ma Yue shouted coldly, "The battle between the two armies is not a show of the courage of ordinary men. Although Taishi Ci is brave, she is just a man. Why not talk about it? Tian Yu obeys the order!"
Tian Yu hurriedly stepped forward and replied with his fist, "The last one is here."
Ma Yue pulled the huge drumstick in his hand forward and shouted sternly: "Start the attack!"
"Abide by the order!"
Tian Yu responded loudly, then raised his right arm and led forward fiercely. The Liangzhou army formation suddenly changed. The cavalry escorted the formation began to avoid both sides. The infantry who had been raising energy in the back formation for a long time began to line up in neat rows and forward high. In particular, the Wu army soldiers at the top of Shouchun City felt puzzled, or were terrified, there were still "high towers" standing in the Liang army infantry formation.
Shouchun city.
Zhou Yu's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and he shouted to the personal soldiers beside him: "Ming Jin to withdraw the troops."
Taishici, who was fighting back and forth in front of the two armies, heard the sound of gold and rushed to retreat to the city.
Zhou Yu turned his head and looked at Xu Shu and asked, "Can the military advisor know what the towering wooden towers in the Liang army are used for?"
Xu Shu pondered for a moment and replied: "If you guessed it wrongly, it should be the Liang army's unique weapon for siege - the siege ladder!"
"Siege ladder?"
Zhou Yu's brow jumped, and an inexplicable cold light flashed away in his eyes.
Xu Shu said: "As far as Shu knows, Ma Butcher killed Hulao Pass by using this kind of siege ladder, caught the Han defender of Hulao Pass off the guards. The world's majestic pass guards guarded by two thousand elite soldiers was actually defeated by thousands of bandits of Ma Butcher. This is simply a miracle in the history of China's tough siege!"
Zhou Yu said: "I have heard of this matter, but I couldn't believe it at the beginning, but today... I believe it!"
Xu Shu whispered: "Governor, we are in trouble this time."
"Yeah." Zhou Yu pointed his head and whispered, "The Liang army's siege ladder is only two meters wide, and its target is too small. It is difficult for our army's stone throwing machine to pose a threat to it. Moreover, the front wall of the siege ladder is covered with cowhide on both sides, and we are not afraid of our army's fire attack. In other words, our army has no way to prevent these giants from approaching."
Xu Shu said: "Once this group of giants approaches the city wall, dozens of passages will be built between the city head and the ground, and the Xiliang infantry will continue to kill the city head along these passages. In this way, the barrier function of the Shouchun city wall will disappear, and our army almost fought a frontal battle with the Liang army in the wild."
"That's not the case." A smile suddenly flashed across Zhou Yu's face, "These behemoths are terrible, but they are not without weaknesses."
"Oh?" Xu Shu said, "Weakness?"
"Military advisor, look." Zhou Yu pointed to the siege ladders slowly approaching in front of him, and said, "These siege ladders are five meters tall. If the suspension bridge at the top is added, the total height is more than seven meters, while the left and right widths of the bottom are only two meters! Just apply a tiny traction force on the side to drag these giants down."
"Um." Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "But the siege ladders are filled with Xiliang infantry. Even if the Grand Commander sent out all the 8,000 light cavalry of General Taishici, it would be difficult for him to get close to these siege ladders, let alone find a way to drag them down."
"Yes, the cavalry sent by Taishici was indeed unable to drag down these big guys, but when they approached the city wall, the opportunity came." Zhou Yu said this, and suddenly turned around and shouted to the personal soldiers behind him: "Send an order to immediately move fifty giant crossbows to the corner castle, and then ask the craftsmen to tie the arrow cluster with barbs on the top of the crossbow arrows and tie ropes at the end of the tail."
"Affect the order."
The personal soldiers hurriedly took the order and left.
The suffocating wait finally passed.
Hundreds of the Liang army's castle carts began to attack first. With the stern roars of hundreds of strong men, huge arms swinging suddenly thrust into the air, throwing the huge rocks in the stone basket high in the air. The huge rocks followed an irregular trajectory in the air, carrying a shrill scream, rolling down towards the head of Shouchun City.
"boom!"
A huge rock hit the city wall hard, and the smoke and dust filled the city wall. A large pit had been smashed into pieces.
"Boom boom boom!"
Three huge rocks almost hit the city head in no particular order. Two unlucky Wu soldiers were immediately fell to the ground without dodging. Among them, the famous soldiers were directly smashed to their heads by stones. Their brain oars and blood splashed everywhere, splashing the Wu soldiers around them all over their heads, while the corpse that had lost their heads stood still standing, only blood was still splattering out between their necks.
A new recruit had never seen such a terrible scene before, and suddenly burst into tears: "Oh my god, I want to go home, wuwu..."
"Get up, you pig!" A veteran stepped forward and kicked the recruit viciously, "This is the battlefield. Your mother can't save you, you can only rely on yourself, get up quickly."
"call out!"
Another huge rock fell into the air. The veteran instinctively flashed sideways. The stone almost flew past his ears, and it hit the recruit's butt heavily. There was a loud bang. The recruit's butt had been completely smashed and disappeared. The waist and hips of the entire torso were covered in blood. The recruit struggled to turn over the upper half of his body and began to scream heart-wrenchingly.
"I have told you a long time ago that this is a battlefield and your mother can't save you."
The veteran's eyes were cold, and he took two steps forward and cut off the new recruit's throat cleanly. The new recruit's howl suddenly stopped, and he immediately turned his head and died.
"Kill and kill!"
Amid the tide-like shouts, the Liang army infantry slowly squirmed forward suddenly began to accelerate.
At the top of Shouchun City, Zhou Yu said coldly: "Send the order, the stone-throwing cart will start to fight back!"
With Zhou Yu's order, the stone-throwing dog in Shouchun City finally began to counterattack, throwing huge rocks over the heads of the Liang army's infantry. However, compared with the hundreds of stone-throwing cars of the Liang army launching an attack at the same time, the counterattack of dozens of stone-throwing cars of the Wu army seemed alone, and the few stones could not cause too much damage to the Liang army's infantry rushing forward.
Finally, the black Xiliang infantry began to attack the Wu army archers' range. With the roar of the Wu army's junior high school on the Shouchun city, a tent of arrows fell from the city. The Liang army infantry crowded beside the siege cars raised their shields and built a solid shield wall above their heads. The Wu army archers' shooting could not cause any harm to them at all.
It was not until the Xiliang infantry approached the city wall that the stone throwing machine in the back formation stopped the attack because of fear of accidentally hurting his own personnel.
Under Shouchun City.
Tian Yu was wearing heavy armor and personally came to the front to command.
"Hooking hand, go!"
With the order of Tian Yu, dozens of hook and cables approached the suspension bridge under the cover of the oar and shield soldiers. With the order of the leader, dozens of hook and cables threw out the suspension cables that tightly wrapped around the suspension bridge. More Liang army infantry flocked in, pulling the iron cables at the other end of the hook and pulling them down hard. Arrows on the top of the city were raining, and Liang army infantry fell one after another, and more Liang army infantry flocked in.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the suspension cable of the suspension bridge was broken and the bridge body fell down with a bang.
"Okay!" Tian Yu's eyes showed cold murderous intent, and he shouted, "Crash the door hammer, attack!"
"Gulululu..."
Amid the harsh friction between the wooden wheel ruts and the axles, a huge and sturdy cart quickly slid forward under the push of dozens of Liang soldiers. The top of the cart was firmly fixed with a huge wood that could be hugged by the two. The top of the wood was inlaid with an iron head. The iron head was extremely sharp, and a cold and cold light reflected under the setting sun, like a wolve grinning, hitting the city gate.
"boom!"
The huge city-hit ram slid across the suspension bridge and hit the Qianjin Gate of Shouchun North Gate under the action of inertia. With a loud bang, the entire northern wall of Shouchun City began to tremble. Xu Shu, who was watching the battle on the enemy's building, almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Zhou Yu, beside him, quickly held it up with a quick eye and hand, asked with a smile: "Is the military advisor safe?"
“It’s okay.”
Xu Shu hurriedly broke free from Zhou Yu's support and smiled awkwardly.
"Haha." Zhou Yu smiled and turned around and said to Zulang, "General Zulang, I'll leave the city gate to you."
"Please don't worry, the Grand Governor." Zulang responded with a loud promise and turned around and shouted to the Wu Jun Xiaojiao who was standing behind him, "Are you ready for the tincture?"
Wu Jun Primary School stepped forward and shouted: "Go back to the general, they are all cooking in the oil pan."
"Okay!" Zulang shouted loudly, a trace of hideousness flashed across his scar-covered face, and he laughed cruelly, "Then let the Xiliang wild dogs under the city taste the taste of roasting human meat with tinder oil, hahaha."
"Wow..."
When dozens of Liang army soldiers pushed the city hammer to slide across the suspension bridge again and hit the city gate fiercely, a pot of boiling tincture suddenly poured down from the top of the city, and the hot tincture oil poured onto the face of the Liang army soldiers. The body was so hot that the Liang army soldiers jumped up and down like fish and shrimps in the oil pan, and they also made extremely wailing sounds while jumping.
On the top of the city.
A trace of cruel pleasure flashed through Zulang's eyes, and he shouted coldly: "Shoot the arrow!"
A rocket fell from the city, and the door-to-door hammers were covered in fire, along with the carts below, and dozens of Liang soldiers who were struggling and wailing were instantly swallowed by the raging fire. Seeing that the door-to-door hammers that he had high hopes were swallowed by the raging fire, Tian Yu's face turned pale, and the raging firelight reflected into Tian Yu's eyes, as if two balls of raging fire were burning.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the suspension bridge was burned and the door hammer fell to the moat with a bang. A few feet high flames suddenly burst out from the water surface, and then extinguished, with only a faint blue smoke rising.
"hateful!"
Tian Yu clenched his fists tightly and almost wanted to bite his steel teeth.
Just at this moment, twenty siege cars were almost approaching the moat.
"Stop moving forward!"
At the command of Tian Yu, twenty siege vehicles stopped abruptly.
"Drop the suspension bridge!"
Tian Yu gave another order, and the suspension bridge hanging on the siege car was descending rapidly. Accompanied by a loud bang, twenty suspension bridges were almost at the top of Shouchun City at the same time. The elite soldiers of Youzhou who had been waiting on the siege car platform for a long time immediately shouted and rushed to the suspension bridge and came to the top of Shouchun City. Mao Kai, the powerful general in Youzhou, rushed to the front with a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand.
"Kill!"
Two Wu soldiers docked out from behind the battlements, stabbed Mao Kai in his chest with a spear. Mao Kai turned his shield and knocked two long spears. The machete in his hand was slashed horizontally. The two Wu soldiers were cut into four pieces in an instant. Mao Kai succeeded with a blow and hopped up in the air. His huge body fell heavily like a big bird on the top of Shouchun City. The two Wu soldiers could not dodge and were trampled to death by Mao Kai.
"Does go, let me dodge."
With a loud shout like thunder, a Wu Jun general with a scar on his face appeared in front of Mao Kai like a ghost. Mao Kai's eyes suddenly contracted. With the instinct of a military general, he knew that a thrust guy was coming!
In the distance, the Liang army's rear formation.
