"preparation...!"

The first ray of sunlight in the morning had just shone on the city tower of Fanyang City. Shi Wei and the Khitan army had already begun to sharpen their swords. Ten thousand cavalry rushed towards Fanyang City without hesitation under the order of Wen and Mongolia.

People will definitely be surprised when they look crazy. They say that siege is the most dangerous, but why do those ancient soldiers have to climb up even if they have to squeeze their heads out?

Haha... There are basically three points.

First, the general leads the team

In ancient times, there were front and central troops. I often saw the Three Kingdoms that Zhang Fei was yelling to be a vanguard general. When facing stones, arrows and feathers, etc., half of them had a very appealing and high prestige general to lead the team. When Liu Bang conquered Yi and Nosang, Zhou Bo was the first to climb the city, and when he attacked Puyang and Chengyang, Fan Kuai was the first to climb the city.

Second, the military supervising the war

There are always soldiers who are afraid of death, so you often see a general who put his sword on the ground and said, "Who dares to retreat to this sword and kill you without mercy. Think about it, there is a wall in front and a sword in the back. Instead of being killed by your own people, it is better to rush. Maybe you can still survive and remember one military merit. There is no way to retreat. Think about it, if you retreat tens of thousands of people, you will definitely be trampled to death, which is even worse.

Third, the reward is generous

Whoever was captured alive, who would first climb to the city, bounty of hundreds of taels and silk and satin, and even worse, he was granted the title of Marquis of Wanhu.

It is undoubtedly said that in wars throughout the dynasties, those who first rushed up the city tower will be rewarded with great rewards, but the premise is that you have to survive when you climb the city tower. Chang Yuchun of the Ming Dynasty first climbed the city and then took the lead as Duke of E step by step.

Even if you die in the city, your family will receive condolences and rewards. Think about it, why don’t the children and women who have no food at home fight to the death? You may not die if you don’t fight, you will definitely die if you don’t fight.

"Kill..." A trembling shout of killing sounded, and ten thousand cavalry were like ants, rushing towards Fanyang City at all costs.

After just building a bridge with a fly bridge, the yellow crossbow on the Wengcheng City Tower started shooting. The sudden shooting surprised the Wei army who had just passed the moat.

Because the moat is at least four hundred steps away from the city gate, you should know that even if the bows and arrows are standing at high places, they are unlikely to shoot so far, but this big yellow crossbow can reach them.

"Puff..." "Puff..." "Puff..." "Puff..." "Puff..." "Puff!"

Almost all the cavalry rushing in front were penetrated by arrows, and a arrow was shot from the horse, and then nailed to the ground. This scene really shocked the soul, but soon, someone in the Shiwei cavalry immediately shouted loudly: "Disper and transport the siege carts up."

Siege cars are one of the powerful weapons for siege. During the Tang Dynasty, there were many modifications, not only the body was lengthened, but also the attack power of siege cars was strengthened. In the past, siege cars were generally relatively small, but in the Tang Dynasty, the body was increased to more than 50 meters, and the wheels were also increased a lot, and the defense on siege cars was also strengthened. In the past, siege cars, soldiers were easily shot by the enemy with arrows.

But during the Tang Dynasty, this aspect was much strengthened. Soldiers could hide under the baffle of the siege car. Siege soldiers only needed to focus on pushing the siege car to hit the gate. Basically, the siege car was competent for defense. Unless the enemy attacked a large number of enemies, the siege car could withstand it.

Just after a command, about fifty siege vehicles were transported up. Because Yingzhou and Jizhou were captured, the Shi Wei army, which had no siege weapons, also obtained a large number of siege weapons.

Flying bridges, ladders, siege cars... there are many.

After crossing the moat, the Wei cavalry, who was about to rush to the Shiliu who had set up a ladder from Fanyang City, could only hide beside the siege car, while avoiding the bows and arrows shot by the yellow crossbow, while quietly retreating the ladder to move forward.

Although the Great Yellow Crossbow Guard had a superior shooting technique, these Wei cavalry hid under the siege car and had no choice but to find someone who escaped the net and shot it with an arrow. Fortunately, the opponent's siege car was limited.

So after one shot, the siege car only advanced a hundred steps, and a thousand people had become dead souls under arrows.

However, relying on the siege cars, these Wei troops gradually approached the edge of the city wall. Just as the Wei troops were about to use the siege cars to attack the city, a large amount of turbulent oil suddenly poured on the top of Fan Yang's city.

"Ah...!" The turmeric oil was boiling. When it was poured on the Shi Wei Jun who were pushing the siege cart, the skin was broken and the flesh was rotten. And this was not the end. Just as the people below were scorching with the turmeric oil, they threw down the torches one by one.

With a 'boom', the fire ignited.

The fire burned oil, and none of the soldiers of the Wei army who were hiding next to fifty siege cars could survive.

"Build a ladder...! Bow and arrow...!"

Just after the siege car was eliminated, the Wei army had already set up a ladder. As mentioned earlier, the ability of the ladder was not very good at pushing it down. Following the archers below to cover the soldiers who were climbing the ladder, this was the time to fight naked.

However, just after Wei Jun climbed the ladder in the first room.

Then, one brick after another was thrown down from Fan Yang's city wall... one or two meters in size, weighing more than a hundred kilograms, and one or two pieces fell like raindrops.

"Bang..." "Bang..." "Bang..." "Bang..." "Bang..." "Bang..." "Bang..."

If you smash it down with the flow and hit it by this brick, not only will you die, but even the solid ladder below will be destroyed.

"Run quickly..." Looking at the top of Fan Yang's city, bricks were still falling like raindrops. The first time Shi Wei army was fearless and finally fled. The attack on the city was deserted from the beginning to the Shi Wei army, which lasted less than two hours.

You should know that during these two hours, the last time in Jizhou, the Shiwei people had already captured Jizhou City, but this time, Fanyang City passed by the Shiwei people's more fierce attacks, and it was still as solid as a god.

Moreover, there was a phenomenon of desertion among the Shiwei people. At this moment, Wen and Mongolia were a little stunned.

However... I was stunned. Wen and Mongolia would never give up at this time. The deserters were killed by the supervising team. Then Wen and Mongolia sent 20,000 troops to continue attacking.

Because according to what Wen Mongolia thought, we cannot relax at this time. If we relax, then the head of Fanyang City can get a breath, and Wen Mongolia cannot give Fanyang City a little rest.

So 20,000 cavalry attacked again. Not only that, Wen and Mongolia also launched a larger weapon, that is, the stone thrower.

In the Tang Dynasty... The manufacturing technology of stone throwers was further improved based on the accumulation of previous generations and gradually entered a period of standardization and standardization development. During this period, stone throwers were more commonly used on the battlefield, and their range and the weight of the stone bombs were further increased. In 668 AD, Tang general Li Jie led his army to attack Goguryeo. In the battle of Liaodong City in this war, "there were thrown cars and the big stones flew over 300 steps, and they were about to collapse. The blocks were captured and the blocks were tied up and they could not be rejected."

Fortunately, there are not many stone throwers this time. If there are more than a hundred, then the Jie family army will be able to drink a pot.
