The Chu army is really going to attack the city.

The vanguard army fought desperately and paved the road with wooden boards on the trenches. With the rumbling drums, more than a dozen catapults appeared slowly from the Chu army formation. A group of soldiers were around the catapults, pushing the catapults forward.

As the flag was waving, the catapults were lined up, with a distance between them. Qian Fengjun also set up a road paved with wooden boards amid the rumbling drums. Under the cover of the shield and archers, he quickly retreated. Han Ying had already urged him to move forward at this time, and raised his saber next to the catapult. When the catapults were loaded, Han Ying looked solemn and swung his saber.

The catapult cart was immediately launched, and the huge rocks roared out like shells. With a "boom", they hit the city wall. The places where more than a dozen huge rocks were destroyed were different. Some were hit at the base of the wall, and some were hit at the center of the wall. However, under the emergency construction of Hezhou City, it was much higher, and no stone hit the city.

The soldiers quickly loaded stones, and the stones were still roaring towards Hezhou City. The scale of these catapults was not large, and although the loaded stones were not small, they did not cause great damage when hitting the city wall.

When the catapult car just came out, Hu Zongmao frowned. When the catapult car was hit for several consecutive rounds, the destructive power of the city wall was extremely limited. His smile reappeared on Hu Zongmao's face and he sneered: "It's indeed Huang Maoruzi. He wanted to use a few catapult car to attack Hezhou City. Chu Huan was really whimsical."

A deputy general immediately followed him and said, "General, Chu Huan's catapult carts should have just been newly built. The scale is too small to pose a threat to us at all. Look at the pitchers, the catapulting technology is very unfamiliar. Hehe, just look at how many stones they can smash over. This Hezhou City is an old city. After many generations, the city foundation is stable and the city walls are thick. When the people of Xiliang came here, if the defenders here did not abandon the city and flee, they might not have fallen so easily...!"

Hu Zongmao stroked his beard and just sneered. Suddenly, he saw that the catapult car over there had stopped casting and seemed to be about to withdraw. Hu Zongmao laughed and pointed at the dozen catapult cars that were slowly retreating, and said proudly: "Look, Chu Huan has already taken down the catapult car. This is asking for humiliation. It seems that he also knows that the catapult car he has prepared carefully is useless to us...!"

Seeing that the catapult cart had not had much destructive effect, Chu Huan took off the catapult cart and rode his horse forward. Before getting to the military formation, he turned the horse's head. The thunder fire kirin under his crotch, wearing a wolf armor and fighting robe, was full of heroic spirit. He pulled out a blood-drinking knife from his waist and said in a deep voice: "I am here, all the soldiers listened to me. Hu Zongmao raised his troops to rebel, causing trouble to the northwest. Now that the Japanese governor led his army here, he was determined to break through Hezhou City and wipe out the rebels. Victory and defeat here. This governor ordered that the first person to attack the city of the city will be promoted to two levels, and the reward of one hundred taels. If someone takes off Hu Zongmao's head, he will be promoted to three levels, and he will be rewarded with three hundred taels of gold!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Chu soldiers were motivated. Fang Rushui was already holding the knife in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, rush!" He slapped his horse forward and rushed forward.

The sound of killing sounds of tsunami suddenly erupted, and the Chu army rushed forward like a wolf or a tiger, with war drums rumbling. The defenders on the city were even more ready to see the Chu army starting to attack.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the murderous aura was filled with the heaven and earth. The Chu army like a flood poured out, and arrows on the city were like rain. Screams came from time to time among the charging crowd, and some people fell down.

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. When they are on the battlefield, their blood is rising, and there is also the temptation of heavy rewards. The soldiers rushed straight to the city without any hesitation. The archers in the Chu army formation are naturally not idle. Although the lethality is much weaker than the rebel archers, the dense archers under the city can not do whatever they want.

The dust rolled and the sound of killing continued. Although the chargers fell down from time to time, although the army under Chu Huan had not undergone rigorous training and had not been fully integrated, they were still continuing. The army with the children of the Northwest as the team is full of courage in its bones, and on the battlefield, they are really brave.

The soldiers had already rushed under the city wall. A soldier had already boarded the cloud ladder and quickly climbed up the ladder. The rebel soldiers on the top of the city saw the Chu army's ladder. The top of the ladder was only half a meter away from the battlements. The rebel soldiers leaned out and wanted to push the ladder down. The archers under the city had obviously been prepared, especially the archers with excellent archery skills, aimed at the top of the ladder early. As long as the rebels leaned out, more than ten feather arrows would be shot there immediately.

Hu Zongmao was not panicked at all when he saw the ladder coming up. These were all things he had expected long ago. With the sound of the horn, a large pot was pushed to the edge of the battlements. The soldiers guarding the city had already been prepared, and a batch of wooden barrels had been prepared. The soldiers used wooden barrels to scoop hot oil from the pot. These were inedible black water waste oil, but the temperature was extremely high. Buckets of hot oil splashed from the city on the ladder. The soldiers who were climbing the ladder were poured on their bodies by the hot oil, and their screams were heart-wrenching, falling down from the ladder like a stone.

The soldiers of the Chu army were also surprised when they heard the heart-wrenching screams above. There were already many soldiers under the ladder, and hot oil was poured down. Not only were the soldiers who were climbing the ladder sprayed, but the soldiers near the ladder were also splashed by hot oil. Seeing that the situation was not good, the shield soldiers had already rushed forward, and the shield protected the above to resist the hot oil splashed from above.

Chu Huan looked at him from a distance, his eyes twitched slightly. The soldiers behind him who did not participate in the siege were all solemn when they saw the battle on the city wall, and their faces were full of anger.

The Chu army's troops were in an absolute advantage. Although the hot oil once caused severe damage to the Chu army's climb to the city, the soldiers on the Chu army were also trained through actual combat. When the other party used hot oil, the shield soldiers immediately climbed the ladder and protected them with shields above. The hot oil splashed and fell on the shield, which made it difficult to hurt the soldiers siege for a while.

When the Chu army changed, the rebels guarding the city immediately changed their methods. They no longer splashed hot oil under the city, but instead carried the stones that had been prepared long ago and smashed them down from the battlements.

There were many corpses piled up under the city wall, and soldiers who fell from the ladder soon joined the ranks of corpses, but the soldiers of the Chu army were still stepping on their companions' bodies and climbing upwards.

The sound of yelling and killing resounded throughout every place on the battlefield. This was already a Shura field. The archers on both sides did not stop shooting arrows. The arrows in the air came and the smell of blood spread in the air.

The soldiers on the top of the city poured hot oil and smashed stones. The Chu soldiers were killed and injured. Finally, soldiers climbed to the top of the cloud ladder. From behind the battlements, a spearman immediately reached out to the spear and stabbed the soldiers climbed to the top of the cloud ladder. On the battlefield, they were alive and dead, and no one would have mercy. If they wanted to survive well, they could only kill the enemy.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed out of the city. In broad daylight, they were holding torches in their hands. At the top of the city, the torches were thrown from the city. The torches fell under the city wall. In an instant, a raging fire gushed up from the city and turned into a sea of ​​fire. Just now, hot oil was poured on the top of the city, not just to deal with the soldiers who were heading to the city, but to prepare long ago. When the hot oil was enough, they threw the torches and burned the Chu army.

The Chu soldiers in the sea of ​​fire were smoke and screaming, and they took a few steps, and fell to the ground. The companions around them wanted to put out the fire, but the fire became bigger and bigger, and the raging fire soon burned the soldiers to charcoal.

The oil was in full bloom. Whether it was a living person or a dead body, as long as it was stained with oil and fire, thick smoke would be rolling in an instant, and a stream of black smoke evaporated upwards and rushed straight into the sky, making the already dusty and sand-filled air even more dim.

The soldiers of the Chu army who were sieging the city were brave enough to see the sea of ​​burning fire under the city, but they did not dare to rush over at this time. Brave does not mean stupidity. When they rushed forward, they were undoubtedly seeking death. Many soldiers of the Chu army looked slightly shocked in their eyes, but this expression was quickly replaced by anger. Seeing many companions struggling and howling in the fire, their teeth were about to be broken.

Looking at the soldiers struggling and howling under the city, the soldiers who threw themselves in the city had no mercy in their eyes, because they knew very well that perhaps soon after, they would be the ones who wailed. There would be no mercy on the battlefield, and mercy was weakness. The weakness on the battlefield would be to send themselves to hell.

Among the Chu army's rear army, the rapid sound of gold finally sounded. It was the order to retreat. The Chu army soldiers retreated quickly with anger and unwillingness. Seeing the Chu army in vain and leaving many bodies behind, the soldiers on the city were cheering like thunder. The deputy generals had already run to Hu Zongmao and flattered each other. These flatteries made Hu Zongmao very useful. Looking at the Chu army retreating in anger, Hu Zongmao was full of energy and even had the urge to lead troops out of the city. However, such impulse disappeared in an instant. He knew very well that although the first attack of the Chu army ended with the loss of troops and generals, the opponent's strength was not devastating. The strength of the Chu army was still far above the defenders. A wise general must not let victory go.

"Duke Chu, we can still hold on!" Han Ying's face was covered with smoke and dust. He retreated to the formation. When he saw Chu Huan, he looked ashamed. This time, Chu Huan asked him to lead the troops to attack the city, which also gave him a chance to make contributions, but the result was that the soldiers and generals were lost. Han Ying felt that he could not get along with his face.

Chu Huan stared at Han Ying and said, "Han general, you are fighting well, don't think too much. When a general leads his army to the battlefield, the strengths and weaknesses of his army's soldiers, the strengths and weaknesses of weapons, and the logistics supply situation are all determined and cannot be changed. The general has two responsibilities on the battlefield: the formation army is in a favorable position, put his army in a favorable position, and no matter how bad the army is, he must discover his strengths, and no matter how strong the army is, he must also understand its advantages, maximize the advantages of our army, and attack the enemy's weakness. This is the general's plan, and then lead the army to fight to the death, knowing that death is not avoided, and not retreating in the face of the battle. This is the general's sketch. Remember the order, first, the formation army should be in the momentum, and then the ruling soldiers should fight to the death. If he is in an unfavorable situation, he should fight to the death, which is undoubtedly the soldiers who will die in vain."
