Chapter 211 Siege!(1/2)
Under the city wall, raindrops were still pouring down, putting the soldiers carrying sandbags under great pressure.
"Don't stop, rush up to me, be sure to capture the city and get rid of the treacherous!" Zhao Fu held the sword and reached the walls of Gaoyi.
At this moment, he had no way out. If he could not conquer Gao Yi, Lu Bu would definitely not let him go. The only thing he could do was to force his soldiers to force him to push forward and use his lives to pave the way for the next siege battle.
Fortunately, the 20,000 Jizhou troops he brought were more tenacious than he expected. Even if soldiers were constantly shot down by arrows, the soldiers behind would rush up to fill the vacancy as soon as possible, and Zhao Fu did not need to urge him on the side.
The soldiers who were sieging the city did not know the true situation. They only knew that Zhao Fu was a general under Han Fu. At this time, it must be like this that Han Fu was bewitched and held hostage by villains. Out of loyalty and concern for Han Fu, the soldiers charged forward with their lives, and were determined to use their lives to open up the road to enter and exit the city.
In addition, many of them have another purpose, which is the small family in the city!
Only by rushing into the city can the family be spared from persecution by the treacherous, so they have to do their best.
The soldiers who rushed up to splash sand and gravel were too scattered. Even though the soldiers on the city wall never stopped their bows and arrows, more and more sand and gravel were still piled up on the ice of the moat under the city.
In this weather, the accumulation of sand and gravel is impossible to destroy the thick ice surface. As the accumulation of sand and gravel, the slippery ice surface gradually becomes rough. The soldiers who ran up no longer have to worry about the steps under their feet.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Fu waved his hand.
"The second team sieges the city! Let's go!"
With Zhao Fu's order issued, the second siege team, who had been preparing for a long time, rushed up immediately. Accompanied by these soldiers, there were the tall and heavy Jing Lan and Yun Ladder behind.
These two big guys went up to mean that the real siege began!
"kill!"
The soldiers charging under the city all looked ferocious, holding the one-handed shield and battle sword distributed to them by the Jizhou camp in their hands. When charging, they raised their shields to resist the arrows falling from their heads.
The other soldiers carrying wooden ladders without shield protection are the soldiers next to them responsible for holding shields.
The second siege attacked a total of 3,000 people and almost rushed towards the city wall of Gaoyi. The dense soldiers held their shields and charged fearlessly, making the city guards who kept shooting arrows on the city wall have little effect.
After a while, the soldiers carrying wooden ladders in the front rushed to the bottom of the city wall. The next moment, the sturdy wooden ladders were set up, and then the soldiers under the city held their shields and began to quickly climb up the wooden ladders.
Seeing this, Qu Yi immediately ordered the crossbowman to retreat to the back row, and then asked the other soldiers to smash the throwing objects that had been prepared.
Compared with sharp but thin arrows, this rolling stone wood that falls directly from the top of the head is obviously more effective.
Even with shields, the soldiers who were sieging and screaming at the impact of such heavy throwing objects, were almost lucky to be smashed on the ladder and died on the spot.
But the falling rolling stones did not scare away the attacking soldiers. Often, one person in front was smashed down on the ladder and the other person pushed up.
Seeing the soldiers below getting closer, Qu Yi began to order the soldiers on the city wall to push down the ladder on the wall. The attack of the soldiers attacked the city suddenly slowed down.
Seeing this, Qu Yi had no joy on his face, because a group of big guys were gradually approaching the city wall.
"Gulugulu!"
The heavy cloud ladder Jing Lan was finally pushed up and came near the city wall. The cloud ladder immediately stood on the city wall. The city guards could not do it even if they wanted to push it away.
After the ladder was set up, the soldiers below were no longer limited to thin wooden ladders, and began to rush up the ladders.
"Swish swish swish!"
The crossbowman on Jing Lan on the side began to shoot arrows on the city wall, hoping to suppress the city guards and make the city siege soldiers easier to climb the city wall.
Some unprepared city guards fell under the enemy's crossbows, and several of them fell down from the city wall after being shot.
"I smashed the first batch of turbulent oil jars for me. The crossbowman prepares the rockets, and they will do it quickly!" Qu Yi was prepared for this. He piled up a batch of turbulent oil jars behind the city wall for this time.
The soldiers who received the order in advance picked up the jar in an orderly manner and smashed it to the wall at the Jinglan Cloud Ladder not far away.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The ceramic jars were broken after they encountered the thick Jinglan Cloud Ladder, and then the black tincture oil in the jar was stuck to the wooden base of the Jinglan Cloud Ladder along the fragments.
After a round of throwing, Jing Lan and several lower parts of Yun Ladder were infected with tinder oil. Seeing this, Qu Yi immediately ordered the crossbowman to shoot rockets at the place where the tinder oil was infected.
When rockets fell on wooden stakes infected by tinder oil, the originally faint flames suddenly ignited.
"Don't stop the Rockets, keep shooting for me!" Qu Yi ordered loudly.
"Swish swish swish!" Countless rockets fell on wooden stakes infected by tinder oil, and more and more Jinglan cloud ladders began to spark, and as time went by, the sparks were gradually turning into raging fires.
Seeing that Jing Lan's ladders began to catch fire, the charging soldiers felt a little hesitant.
Who knows if the fires will burn on me? And there are several ladder racks that are surrounded by fire. Even if the soldiers want to rush up, they don’t have the courage.
Seeing that the charge was blocked again, Zhao Fucheng Huan in the rear became anxious.
Although the fire has risen, it has not yet spread to the point where it can destroy the main body of the equipment. In other words, the current siege equipment can still support the soldiers' charge, but this time is not long, so we must hurry up.
"The third siege team pressed forward, and the supervisor team followed. If anyone winced, he would immediately kill him!"
"Today, if you can't conquer the city, don't even think about living!"
Zhao Fu's eyes were filled with hideousness as he spoke.
He doesn't care about the life of the soldier. As long as he can get the result he wants, what if most of the casualties and injuries are gone?
Under Zhao Fu's forced force, the second team of siege soldiers rushed up with a scream, and followed them were members of the murderous supervision team.
Seeing that the supervisors were coming, the soldiers who were originally afraid of the war gritted their teeth and attacked the city wall again.
"Ah! I'm fighting with you!"
A siege soldier gritted his teeth and roared wildly, then rushed over the gradually spreading fire in front of him and rushed up the unburned part of the ladder. But before he could take a few steps, he was hit by the stone falling from above, and then fell down in screams.
On the other hand, although Jing Lan was on fire, the crossbowman above Jing Lan could still shoot arrows on the city wall. In addition, Qu Yi had not targeted these Jing Lan before, so the soldiers guarding the city paid a considerable price at this moment when they sprinkled turbulent oil and burned the siege equipment.
Seeing that the fire had begun to spread, Qu Yi asked the soldiers who threw the turbulent oil altar to retreat, asked the crossbowman to step forward again, and began to shoot at the enemy on Jing Lan.
Although the crossbowmen standing on Jing Lan had the advantage of position, because Jing Lan's lower part was covered by fire, these crossbowmen had no reinforcements, and one of them died less than one.
After shooting for a while, there were very few crossbowmen on Jing Lan. As a result, Jing Lan's suppression of the city wall began to weaken.
At this time, the siege soldiers driven by the supervision team had already arrived at the city and began to charge fiercely against the city wall.
The cloud ladder is more resistant to burning and stronger than imagined. Except for some cloud ladders that have been completely consumed by fire, there are soldiers who can get on the other ladders that are brave enough to throw objects to the city walls, and they are desperately charged.
More importantly, the soldiers in the hands of Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan were originally the elites of the Jizhou Army. This time, their sensitive skills and tenacious fighting will were fully utilized.
Under the threat of death, the charging siege soldiers all burst out with strength beyond the normal state. They stepped on the shaking ladder and stood on the continuous rolling stones and slugs, and even approached the top of the city wall!
Seeing that the throwing speed of the Rolling Stone Mu could no longer meet the charge speed of the siege soldiers, Qu Yi decisively ordered the soldiers responsible for throwing to retreat.
"The spearman comes forward, and the sword and shield soldiers are assisting from the side. We must never let the enemy attack the top of the city!"
Under Qu Yi's order, the soldiers in charge of close combat began to push up.
Without the suppression of the Rolling Stones, the agile siege soldiers suddenly arrived at the end of the ladder, but what awaited them were ruthless spears and sharp swords.
"ah!"
"ah!"
The person who rushed in front was stabbed by the city guards just after a meeting.
Although the soldiers who attacked the city were elite of the former Jizhou army, the soldiers who defended the city were also a strong army. When the two sides met, they would fight for life and death. However, there were several soldiers on the side of the city defending the city, and there was only one person on the siege, so it was almost certain that the soldiers who attacked the city were stabbed down the ladder.
Although the soldiers siege the city had to face several times or even dozens of times their enemies, the fierce charge continued.
When the war reached this point, both sides almost had their eyes red, especially as they watched the robe die in front of them, the elite soldiers were not only afraid and unexpected, but also angry.
"kill!"
A siege soldier with red eyes faced with a spear that he didn't dodge or avoid and let the spear pierce him. The same pierced spear was firmly grasped by the siege soldier.
As the two pulled the spear, the siege soldiers showed a cruel smile.
"The one who bears the Lord, die here with me!"
The next moment, the siege soldiers pulled the spear and jumped to the side. The soldiers guarding the city on the other side had no time to let go and were pulled out by the spear.
"Pu!" "Puu!"
The two landed one after another.
This situation can be seen almost everywhere after both sides have gone crazy.
When Pan Feng was in charge of the army, he would often instill an idea in the elite soldiers, that is, once the situation reached the point where he would be invincible, the one who could pull one was the one who would take the blame, and the other would not lose money, and the other would make the other.
It is precisely because of the long-term influence of Pan Feng's thinking that the elite soldiers of the Jizhou Army will hold the enemy back as long as they have the chance. This situation is fully reflected in the current offensive and defensive battle.
The soldiers guarding the city were hit by the convenience of the spears, so many spearmen were pulled by the siege soldiers in this way, which forced the sword and shield soldiers on both sides to give up part of the attack and instead protect and pay attention to the spearmen beside them. As long as the spearmen's body was pulled back before they could poke out of the city, they would not fall off the city wall.
The battle continued. As the crossbowman on Jing Lan was gradually resolved, Qu Yi began to order the crossbowman on the city to aim the arrow at the soldiers siege below.
Even though these soldiers held shields and bows and crossbows, the number of arrows still has a lot of inventory. If the stock of these arrows can be used to exchange for the glimmer of vitality of the soldiers under his command, Qu Yi would not hesitate!
Under the suppression of the crossbowmen's arrows, the pressure of the spearmen and swords and shield soldiers who were responsible for cleaning up the soldiers was reduced a lot, and the number of spearmen who were pulled down the city wall was getting smaller and smaller.
At this time, the offensive and defensive battle was coming to an end. The Yundi Jinglan, who was licked by the flames, finally collapsed after supporting for a period of time. Some soldiers standing on both sides had no time to avoid the collapsed Yundi Jinglan was pressed down below.
The screams kept ringing with the squeaking barbecue, causing the crazy siege soldiers to wake up gradually.
Because of the collapse of Yundi Jing Lan, the only ones that can be used to attack the city are those wooden ladders that fell on the ground and the only cloud ladders around that have not yet been completely burned down.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that in this case, Gao Yi, who wants to capture the city with thick walls and abundant personnel, is a dream.
But these were directly ignored to Zhao Fu, who was anxious.
