Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth danger of Xuchang

It is even more difficult to truly attack the city wall. The arrow tower must be taller than the city wall. The ladder can only be made longer than before. With the help of the great gentry of the great gentry, the head of Xuchang City does feel as if it is still as a mountain.

The sound of drums shook the sky and resounded throughout the battlefield. The generals and officers of various departments urged the soldiers to attack the Xuchang city wall. Zhang Da's death order forced him to fight for everything. He had already dared to ask the sun and moon to replace the blue sky to spread out a neat shield formation to cover the cloud ladder to approach the city wall. After getting used to it, the crossbows did not cause much damage to them. The next moment, countless tincture oil fell down the city wall, followed by dense rockets igniting the tincture oil. A fire wall instantly appeared under the city wall. The unlucky soldiers rolled on the ground, and their miserable situation was not daring to face it.

In a panic, he saw the chaotic soldiers of the defenders. When the siege army was in chaos, he immediately asked the crossbowmen to pour arrows at the siege soldiers who had lost their protection.

"Those who take a step back die!" In the back, which was still far from Xuchang, the soldiers of the Five Thousand Dragon Crown camp shouted loudly in red robes. They followed Cao Gan's orders and shouted loudly, and the murderous shouts reminded the soldiers who siege the city to either die in front of the army or die in military law. There was absolutely no second way to choose.

"They are the Dragon Que Camp under Sima Ji. When you see that the entire Youzhou army is here? Then who does the army around Sima Ji belong to?" Sima had a complicated face, and he was naturally well-known for the name of the Dragon Que Camp. He knew that this army was the leader in Bingzhou to massacre 100,000 troops, and first attacked Yecheng in Yecheng, causing the northern city to fall.

Sima Ji was surrounded by Xianbei cavalry? Sima couldn't understand this. In his opinion, even if he had married, he needed to be on guard against the Hu people. He was wrong about it. How could Sima Ji not be on guard? If it weren't for the sake of his direct army and to reduce his direct lineage's losses, would he have to follow a group of Hu people? It's because Xuchang is weak, so he can't blame him for being the strong Sima Ying.

"Kill into Xuchang and turn over to be the master!" Just as Sima was in deep thought, this shout made his face change drastically. There was no problem in breaking into Xuchang. What does turning over to be the master mean? It seems that there is something scary in this slogan, and I feel uncomfortable when I hear Sima.

But this shout spread throughout the battlefield, but it had an immediate effect. The siege soldiers who heard the sound seemed to have changed suddenly. They were not scared away by the fire wall, but instead rushed to the general, which was not high, and did not seem to worry about being burned at all.

The turmeric oil fell from the city wall more than ten meters, and the shocking power is actually greater than the actual power. This is because the city in the Central Plains is a rammed earth structure. The city wall has a slope, which is different from the waterfall pouring down, but slowly stays along the city wall. Even if it is ignited, most of the power is burning on the city wall, which is greater than the actual power.

"I remember there are no large reserves of tincture oil in Xuchang City?" Zhang Da naturally saw this scene, saw several places where tincture oil was pouring out, recalling the description of the Jinwei of Yuzhou to Xuchang, and ordered, "Continue to attack, the other party does not have much tincture oil in his hand. The Xuchang city wall is so big, such tricks are dropping the bucket."

Zhang Da had sufficient confidence to make a judgment, not because of Xuchang, but because of Jicheng's situation. He didn't know what happened to Xuchang, but his lord was too suspicious and had reserved kerosene for defending the city in Jicheng. This time he brought it out. Zhang Da, who knew how much kerosene there was in Jicheng, put this thinking on Xuchang and instantly confirmed that there must be not much turbid oil in Xuchang. He had never heard of the same coal mines as Jicheng near Xuchang.

The dumped turmeric oil caused hundreds of casualties to the soldiers who were sieging the city, but that's all. With the scope of the Xuchang city wall, the amount of turmeric oil needed to dump once was very scary, let alone a few more times. Pouring the turmeric oil down so quickly can only mean that the 300,000 troops have sieged the Xuchang defenders.

"Push the crossbow up!" With Sima's order, the defending general shouted loudly and pushed the crossbow hidden behind the battlements. A crunching sound sounded, and huge arrows poked out of the battlements. Many generals looked at these big guys with fervor. They were already a little scared in the face of this accompaniment of the ants siege, hoping that the huge power of the crossbow would make these soldiers siege scared and let themselves take a breath.

"Let it go!" The crossbow was ordered to start firing. After the defenders cut off the rope, the loud "bang bang" sounded continuously. Arrows several feet long rushed out of the battlements. Such a close distance almost made almost all the soldiers siege who could not hide. Out of confidence in the shield, they continued to bury their heads forward. Soon they knew their mistakes. The huge arrow smashed the shield in their hands and inserted the remaining momentum into the ground.

A huge arrow was pierced on the ground, with four soldiers hanging in front of the corpses of the arrow. The bloodstains along the way showed how terrible damage this arrow brought. In front of this weapon, the shield can only give you a certain amount of psychological comfort and cannot guarantee your life.

This is just like when the Youzhou navy was attacked by the canal, it shot the soldiers and horses who were ambushing the ambush in Yecheng. However, the same fate fell on Zhang Da and the others on this day. When Zhang Da saw this scene, his eyebrows were tightly condensed. Although he didn't feel sorry for the soldiers who had just surrendered, the war was not going well enough to worry him.

But the next moment, this trouble disappeared, the cleared area was instantly filled, and the siege soldiers under the city would not be shot by the crossbow, and the crossbow was inconvenient to be able to do anything too close. Just like the pistols and missiles in later generations, the power of missiles is naturally much greater than that of pistols, and the two cannot be compared, but what if the enemy is only five meters away from you?

At this time, many ladders were already stepped onto the city wall, and the push-down and reversed ladders became the focus of fierce fighting between the two sides. The rammed earth city wall had a certain slope. This certainly increased the length of the ladder and gave the defenders a certain buffer time, but once the ladder was mounted, it was much more difficult to push out the city wall than the city wall without a slope. This required two soldiers to push out hard. The slope of the city wall also allowed the siege soldiers below to exert some force and fight with the defenders on the city wall.

Near the major city gates, there are also points of struggle between the soldiers on both sides. As for the city gate, the answer is that all city gates are very dangerous. Sima Ying did not fill all city gates like Sima of Yecheng, and put them on the verge of guarding them. The main reason is that he did not expect this and did not have time.

Apart from the gate, the soldiers on both sides were fighting desperately for it, shaking the city gate one by one, and the dust fell down the gap between the city gate and the city wall. The huge city gate was hit by a single impact, making a harsh sound that shocked everyone's eardrums. The shaking beams also passed this force to the defenders who were retreating from it because of the impact.

"You must rush in, the city gate will be opened immediately!" The siege outside the city gate howled loudly, as if he had found that it was almost right to achieve the goal.

"We must not let them rush in and hold the city gate back." The garrison general who was facing the city gate roared with a terrifying voice, but there was only one city gate. If it weren't for the killing sound of the entire battlefield, the soldiers of the two soldiers across the gate could hear each other's voice clearly.

Boom... The struggle at the city gate continued. Countless soldiers crawling on the cloud ladder were knocked down by the ladder, but immediately another soldier took over their position and continued to climb. From a distance, the four walls of Xuchang were covered with dense ladders, and soldiers were carrying the wood to hit the door at all the city gates.

Xuchang, which seemed as unmoving as a mountain, was like a small boat in the storm after the full siege began, and there was danger of overturning at any time. But they didn't expect anyone to invest 300,000 troops in an instant? Although there were soldiers who could not be used from afar, this kind of fighting style of using people regardless of the primary or secondary was too shameless. Didn't Sima Ji not be in this army?

Sima Ji was unwilling to be here. He would be pulled out from time to time and be criticized. However, although he was not here, his subordinates would be like him. As long as I feel that I am better than you, I must learn your fighting skills. As long as my army of 300,000 conquered Xuchang in one day, who has time to play the tactics of adding fuel to you?

The ladders ladders ladders ladders ladders in Xuchang City Walls were beyond the reach of a glance. They believed that so many ladders and so many soldiers attacking the city at the same time would be effective sooner or later, and it would be impossible for the defenders to take care of them.

As the losers who approached the city, but the ladder was pushed down, set off again. Gradually, some soldiers stood at the top of the ladder with their waist knives and gestured with the guards twice. Although they were quickly stabbed to death and fell under the city, this already shows that they were not far from victory.

There were emergency everywhere, every section of the city wall was in danger of losing, and every city gate was in danger of being knocked open. At this time, not to mention that Sima was anxious, even the generals and the generals and the great gentry gates of Xuchang were anxious. Many people directly brought their servants' corps to the city wall to fight.

They may have never been so united and fought for our great Jin Dynasty to the end, but today they are willing to do this when facing the fierce Yan thieves. There is no more abominable existence in the world than Yan thieves, and there is no Yan thief who deserves to die in the East, West, Rong, South, and North.
