Chapter 252 Yang Zhaoji's Failure

Simple cloud ladders were erected on the city wall, and the wolf teeth were slapped on the top of the city. Yaksha slapped the auxiliary soldiers who were climbing the cloud ladder fell into the city one by one. One by one, one by one, broke down one after another, and fell down. The auxiliary soldiers on the cloud ladder fell down like dumplings.

The hot golden juice was poured down along the simple cloud ladder, and the clothes on the scalded auxiliary soldier were burned, making heart-wrenching screams, and his face and body were blooming, rolling down from the cloud ladder in pain.

The cannon fodder suffered heavy losses, and Yang Zhaoji did not feel sad. He believed that as long as the big siege weapons arrived at the city and his elite troops climbed to the city, they could stand and chop the rebels like melons and vegetables.

The Wanglou car approached a hundred steps away from the city wall. The artillery at the top of the city was limited in accuracy and it was difficult to hit the Wanglou car, but the auxiliary soldiers used to attack the carts were killed one by one. The light Franchis, tiger squat cannons, and turtledove guns shot like a rainstorm, and the auxiliary soldiers on the carts fell down in pieces. The Ming army archers on the Wanglou cart also shot arrows desperately to suppress the firepower at the city, but the number of people was small, and the losses of both sides were disproportionate.

"Boom" A general cannon on the top of the city spit out a tongue of flames, and the shotgun hit the top of a car looking out for the tower, and several elite archers fell down.

When the large ladder truck was still fifty steps away from the city wall, dense rockets shot from the top of the city, and they stuck on the large ladder truck and ignited flames. The auxiliary soldiers who pushed the cart immediately took the wooden barrels from the rack to put out the flames, but were killed and injured by the projectile arrows at the top of the city. When they were still twenty steps away from the city wall, a turbulent tank hit the city wall, and the rockets shot immediately ignited the entire large ladder truck. But the fired ladder truck was pushed by the auxiliary soldiers and stubbornly approached the city wall.

The dust bottles, stones, arrows and projectiles were hit by the city wall, and the auxiliary soldiers were killed and injured.

Taking advantage of the fact that the ladder truck had not yet been burned, more than 20 elite knife players of Yang Zhaoji wrapped their bodies with felt wet with water, covered their noses and mouths with wet towels, rushed onto the ladder truck in a fire, jumped five steps away, and jumped onto the city.

The other two large ladder trucks also leaned on the city wall and more than 40 people went up. Elsewhere, there were more than 100 soldiers fighting for soy sauce. The bodies of cannon fodder soldiers in the past climbed up the simple ladder and climbed to the top of the city.

The so-called war soldiers who are fighting soybean are ordinary war soldiers who belong to the organization of war soldiers but not the servants or elite soldiers. They also have armor on their bodies, but only wear ordinary armor. In the field, most of the war soldiers of the Ming army were fighting soybeans. The real main force was the servants of the generals and officers. The other war soldiers were almost all fighting soybeans. To put it bluntly, they were advanced cannon fodder.

"Okay! We're almost 200 people going up!" Yang Zhaoji was overjoyed. He believed that if two hundred people going up, he would definitely be able to kill the rebels like melons and vegetables.

Who knew that the fierce battle at the top of the city disappointed Yang Zhaoji.

The rebels at the city wall were extremely tenacious. Xu Hongru's generals Gao Shangbin, Ouyang De, Xu Daoqing and others led the masters of the Wenxiang Sect to fight hard and kill the Ming army soldiers who climbed the city walls. If they were fighting on the flat ground, these martial arts masters would definitely not be the opponents of the regular army, but at the narrow martial arts head, the Ming army that climbed the city walls could not be deployed at all and could not be in line to fight. When fighting alone, they would definitely not be the opponents of those martial arts masters.

In terms of weapons and equipment, the masters under Xu Hongru also equipped armor, and their weapons are not inferior to the Ming army. They also have archers behind them to help shoot cold arrows.

As a result, more than 60 Yang Zhaoji's servants climbed the city and fell into a pool of blood in a short while. More than 100 ordinary soldiers could not use their formation at the city. They were also chopped by bandits' swords and axes, stabbed spears and spears, and shot them cold arrows. They were killed in a short while. Most of the remaining people jumped off the city and fled.

When Yang Zhaoji saw the fierce battle at the top of the city, he was ready to wait for the city gate to open and the main force to press forward. Who knew that his own soldiers fell down from time to time at the top of the city. Not long after, the shouts of killing at the top of the city disappeared, and several large ladder trucks were all burned down, and the soldiers behind could no longer climb to the city.

The crash car that attacked the city gate was not successful. The city wall was hit by wolf teeth and slapped it. The yaksha was hit by the crash car one after another, smashing the crash car to scars. Finally, a huge stone was dropped from the city wall and flattened the crash car.

The chariot approached the city wall and was about to dig the city wall was also attacked by the city wall. The turbulent oil tank was smashed. Although the chariot on the top of the chariot could knock the turbulent oil tank to the ground before it was broken, the burning turbulent oil tanks fell around the chariot and fumigated the Ming army auxiliary soldiers hiding at the bottom of the chariot. The chariot continued to fall from the city wall and smashed the underside of the chariot. The chariot exploded, and the dust suddenly filled the car, smoked out the Ming army auxiliary soldiers who were hiding at the bottom of the chariot. Then the scattered arrow rain at the top of the city left the auxiliary soldiers.

The heads of Ming soldiers were hung on the top of the city. None of the Yang Zhaoji who had climbed the city survived and fought to the end. In the end, all sixty servants were killed, but they also killed more than forty elite bandits.

"Thousand Victories! Thousand Victories!" The rebels on the city wall cheered and excited.

Seeing that the head of the servant was hung on the top of the city, Yang Zhaoji suddenly collapsed on the ground. How much effort did these elite servants instill in themselves? They deducted the food and salary of ordinary soldiers and gave the best to the servants. Ordinary soldiers even had weapons in disrepair, but the servants were wearing the most exquisite armor and holding the sharpest weapons. Who knew that more than 60 servants could not come back alive when they climbed to the top of the city.

Yang Zhaoji originally thought that if these more than 60 people climbed to the top of the city, they would definitely be able to fight all the way to the city gate, open the city gate, and put their main army into the city, but they did not expect that they would die under a group of mobs.

If they fight in a dignified formation on the plain, the mobs on the opposite side are definitely not opponents of the Ming army's servants, but when they fight on the narrow city, the formation cannot be displaced and rely entirely on personal bravery. The personal force of these servants is not much stronger than that of the masters in the martial arts world, and one-on-one, even worse than those masters. They just killed more than 40 people with the cooperation of two or three. The opponents also shoot cold arrows from behind, and some hidden weapon masters. In the end, these servants were all killed.

The sound of the striking gold withdrawal sounded, and the Ming army, who had fought fiercely for a day, finally retreated. During the fierce battle this day, the Ming army suffered heavy losses, more than 2,000 auxiliary soldiers and civilians lost more than 300 soldiers, and even the elite servants died and injured more than 60 people. However, today there were no results. The defenders were killed at least 800. Of course, most of the killed defenders were also cannon fodder, and no more than 100 were killed in the elite rebels.

The loss ratio of the offensive and defensive sides in the siege battle was three to one, which was a normal loss ratio. However, the city was not captured, but more than 100 elite soldiers, including sixty servants, were damaged, which had a great impact on morale.

Gao Shixin stepped forward and said, "Yang Junmen, the rebels have been operating Teng County for more than three months. The city is built by them to be easy to defend but difficult to attack. I should use my method. I will definitely get the head of the thief leader Xu Hongru! Don't worry, I won't steal your credit. How can we share the great achievements of the thief leader Xu Hongru?"

Yang Zhaoji said: "But you enter the city alone and there are only two brothers who are supporting you in the city. Is it too risky?"
