With Le Yang's order, the Wei army quickly retreated from the cloud ladder, causing most of the boiling hot oil splashed on the city wall to fall into nothing, sprinkling on the cloud ladder to melt the ice.

The Wei army archers standing on the other side of the moat were arranged in neat square formations, pulling the bowstrings like a full moon, continuously shooting arrows with flames towards the top of Pinglu City.

Facing the dense rockets of the Wei army, Ji Ling commanded the Tang army's archers to shoot while ordering the Tang army to raise a shield to prevent the rocket from igniting flammable materials sprinkled with grease.

"Burn Wei Kou's ladder to me!"

Angry by the crazy offensive of the Wei army, Ji Ling shouted loudly, directing the military and civilians on the city wall to follow Shen Pei's approach, splashed the hot oil that had not yet cooled on the ladder, and then set fire to ignite it.

However, the surface of the ladder was covered with a thick layer of freezing. After boiling hot oil was poured on, it immediately fell to the foot of the city wall with the melted ice water. The torch could not ignite the wet bamboo ladder.

In half an hour, the hot oil that the people in the city helped boil was poured down by seven or eight out of ten, and gradually became unsustainable.

Seeing this under the city, Le Yang waved his sword and once again urged the Wei army to climb up and carry the shield to attack the city first.

"Crash, kill, those who surrender will avoid death!"

The morale of the Wei soldiers was high. The five thousand-sword shield soldiers were on their heads and carrying large swords. They followed the dead soldiers to rush straight to the foot of the city wall. Under the cover of the seven thousand Wei archers, they launched a fierce attack on Pinglu.

For a moment, crossbows and arrows flew, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Countless arrows flew around in the air, either shooting onto the city wall or onto the moat. Countless rolling stones were thrown from the top of the city. Both armies were killed and injured, and screams came one after another.

Although the Tang army crossbowmen on the city shot with all their might, the Wei army archers under the city were as many as 7,000, which was nearly six times more than the Tang army. Although the power of the bow and arrow was weakened a lot due to the upward shooting, the Wei army archers still couldn't raise their heads with the number of Tang army on the city walls, and countless people fell from the arrows.

"The soldiers work harder, and the city is broken!" Le Yang waved his sword under the city and cheered up his morale.

Wei, who was struggling to survive and died, climbed his head with a shield, and saw that he was only one step away from the city, and Pinglu City, which was full of smoke, was in danger.

At the critical moment, Shen Pei led the Tang army on standby to the East City Wall and shouted and threw themselves into the battle. "Photos hard and smashed hard, and swear to defend the city to the death and never let Wei Kou step into Pinglu!"

With the reinforcements of this new force, the Tang army archers on the city wall increased to about 3,000, and the firepower increased significantly. The dense rain of arrows suppressed the Wei army's archers again. The front line of people shot up and fell into the moat. Countless people were caught in the arrows and fell into the moat.

The Wei army's archers were suppressed, and the arrows shot on the city wall became much thinner. More than 3,000 Tang soldiers and more than 2,000 strong people took the opportunity to stand up and smash the rolling stones and pound the wood on the city wall. The Wei army immediately threw them over and screamed in pain.

"I didn't expect that there were ambushers in Pinglu City that had not joined the battle? This Shen Pei was so calm!"

Seeing that the city was broken, but at the last moment, Pang Juan, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but feel hatred and hit the shaft of the carriage and vented his anger: "General Leyang is really disappointing. He can't even take down the small Pinglu City. How can he fight for the world in the future?"

A hoarse voice sounded beside Pang Juan: "General Leyang is only good at fighting in the field, not good at siegeing the city. Pang Shuai asked him to attack the city to make things better!"

The speaker stood on the right side of Pang Juan's chariot. Although Pang Juan was on the carriage, the man was still half a head taller than Pang Juan, as tall as a small hill. The sun's back even enveloped Pang Juan on the carriage.

I saw that this person was nearly half a foot tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. His blind eyes were wrapped in a black eye mask, and his shiny bald head looked ferocious, as if he was a ferocious person.

The most eye-catching thing was the sledgehammer covered with caltrops tied around his waist, which looked to weigh at least 150 kilograms. It was tied to his waist with two feet long iron chains, making a buzzing sound when walking.

This person's surname is Baolong, and he is the same clan as the Korean general Baoyuan. His greatest wish in his life was to worship Guiguzi as his teacher. However, Guiguzi had no place to live and could not find whereabouts, so Tyrannosaurus had to come to Yecheng to pay homage to Guiguzi's disciple Pang Juan and ask where Guiguzi was.

Seeing that Tyrannosaurus was burly and extremely powerful, Pang Juan deliberately won over the crowd, and a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days. Finally, Tyrannosaurus was used.

The strength of the Tyrannosaurus is mysterious. He has never been on the battlefield since he defected to Pang Juan. He also disdained Jiang Batian's cowhide that he claimed to be the best in Jiangbei and the second in the world. He even threatened that if he saw Jiang Batian one day, he would kneel down and beg for mercy, so that he knew that there was someone outside of the world and there was a heaven outside of the world!

Pang Juan turned his head and looked at the Tyrannosaurus, and smiled strangely: "What can a general who only knows field battles and cannot attack cities? Can he destroy a country and dominate the world by just field battles? In my opinion, Leyang is not as good as Wei Liao, but his lord values ​​Leyang more."

"The villain has not made any contribution since he surrendered to Pang Shuai. Please allow the villain to follow the army to attack the city!" The Tyrannosaurus shook the chains tied around his waist, and bowed to fight amid the sound of "slamming".

Pang Juan shook his head: "Why do you need to slaughter a knives when killing a chicken? Brother Tyrannosaurus doesn't have to rush to take action. I will let you see my chariot in the well."

"Middle railing?" Tyrannosaurus looked surprised and had to wait and see.

Pang Juan immediately summoned Wei Gu to the car and said in a deep voice: "The chariot you trained in is a few days. It is time to come in handy and let the civil and military officials of the Great Wei see your performance."

"Get orders!"

Wei Gu agreed and turned over the horse. In a short while, he led more than 2,000 soldiers to push fifty three-meter-high well railings and advance towards Pinglu City.

These well trays look like signal towers before crossing, and can be raised one by one, up to five feet. A movable pulley is installed at the bottom and pushes forward through thirty or forty soldiers.

When siege, more than ten crossbowmen stood at the top of the well railing and shot at the city wall. Thirty soldiers below protected or pushed the chariots to enhance the well railing's own defense capabilities.

Amid the sound of "squeaking" wheels, fifty well railings passed through the running Wei army formation and headed straight to the moat.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let me see the power of the well railing!"

Wei Gu rode his horse in front, dispersed the archers shooting with the Tang army, selected a flat and vast open space for the fifty chariots, and then quickly formed a formation and aimed at the Pinglu East City Wall a hundred feet away.

"Bowman gets on the bus!" Wei Gu shouted loudly and waved the green flag in his hand.

Five hundred archers quickly jumped onto the top of the well railing, and then the soldiers below controlled the mechanism and kept raising the well railing until the height exceeded the city wall. You can clearly see the every move of the Tang army in the city.

"Cheer me, cover up and attack the city first!" Wei Gu shouted again and shook the red flag in his hand.

The Wei army archers on the well railing received the order and quickly bent their bows and arrows to shoot at the city wall. The dense rain of arrows poured on the top of Pinglu City with the whistling wind. The Tang army was in chaos and there were many people who fell to the ground by arrows.

Although there were only 500 Wei army archers on the well railing, their role was no less than adding three thousand archers under the city wall. Cooperating with more than 6,000 archers under their feet, they soon formed a repressive situation on the Tang army on the city wall.

The Tang army was shot like raindrops and could not raise their heads. They held shields to cover them, or used the female wall to dodge them, which greatly reduced the threat to the siege-like Wei army, which quickly seized the opportunity to climb up the ladder.

"Shoot the opponent's chariot with rockets!"

Shen Pei pushed away the shield blocking his head and lit a rocket at the well railing hundreds of feet away, "What kind of weapon is this? It's so amazing!"

Shen Pei's shooting technique was pretty good. The rocket landed accurately on the top of a shaft opposite. It was not so easy to ignite the wet wood. It was immediately kicked by a Wei army archer.

"Click me to the wooden tower opposite, use all the rockets!"

Shen Pei took a rocket from the hands of his personal soldiers behind him, pulled the bowstrings and ordered loudly in a hoarse voice.

With a "sudden" sound, a sharp arrow broke through the air. Shen Pei had no time to dodge and was shot into his right shoulder blade. He couldn't help but scream: "It hurts so much!"

"Protect the prefect, protect the prefect!"

The Tang army was in chaos, and more than ten shield soldiers rushed forward desperately to block Shen Pei with their shields, protecting him to retreat backwards.

"Let me go, I can still fight, and I swear to live and die with Pinglu!"

Shen Pei struggled to push away the soldier carrying him, raised his left hand and held the feather arrow inserted on his right shoulder, and pulled it out with all his might. With a heart-wrenching scream, blood immediately flowed and his battle robe was dyed red in an instant.

"Help me bandage it, Shen Pei would rather die than go to the battlefield!"

Shenbo gritted his teeth and handed the bloody feather arrow to a archer beside him, and said with a sallow complexion: "You must cherish every feather arrow, use it to shoot at Wei Kou, and defend the city!"

The doctor trembled and helped Shen Pei bandage the wound. The sweat beads on his forehead were more than Shen Pei. He stuttered: "Master, hold on, you can bandage it immediately!"

Suddenly someone in the crowd pointed west excitedly and shouted: "Look, reinforcements are coming quickly!"

The Tang soldiers on the city wall stood on tiptoes and looked westward. They saw dust rising, covering the sky and the sun. Seeing that there were no less than 30,000 to 40,000 people, the sound of horse hooves rumbling, like the roar of a valley.

Countless flags fluttered in the wind, with large seal characters such as Zhou, Zhao, Zhang, Ma, Yan, etc., roaring in the wind on one side, with a huge sound.
