(Tomorrow is the 11th. I am going to go to a hospital in Beijing at 3 am. Friends who register at the hospital know that queuing is annoying, and they may not be able to hang up the morning account. I don’t know when I will come back tomorrow. If I come back early, I will try my best to write it out. If I come back too late, maybe the day will be closed tomorrow. Thank you again for your supporters. With you, I will stick to it even if I suffer. Over the past few days, the great gods such as the war fire, the desert giant, the crazy sword giant, the four row giant, and the bun giant have spared no effort to help me. I will recommend the single chapter to Jiangming. I am moved and warm. The most important thing is that with you all, you are supporting me, I love you! I will work hard!)

Chapter 265: The First Offensive of the Jibei Army (II)

The feathered arrows were sprinkled from the city wall like pouring rain. The soldiers of Jibei soldiers fell down at the feet of Yanyun Village soldiers wailed and soon became stepping stones for their fellow comrades. The first ladder leaning against the city wall did not pose any threat to Sucheng. When they were on the top of the city, they were pushed away by Yanyun Village soldiers guarding the city with a hook. The ladder was pushed perpendicular to the ground in the air and then slowly fell backwards, as slow as the inclination angle became smaller, it quickly became faster and faster.

With a bang, the ladder hit the ground. The soldiers of Jibei soldiers who were hung on the ladder had not had time to jump out were hit hard by the ladder. With the sound of their ribs shattering, their internal organs were smashed into their stomachs and turned into a ball of paste.

The soldier who was smashed down vomited blood in big mouths. There were also small pieces of minced meat in the thick blood spitting out of his mouth. I don’t know whether it was the lung lobe or the spleen and stomach.

Peng Zhen roared loudly and ordered the soldiers to rush forward, and at the same time ordered the archers to continue to press forward and attack the Yanyun Village defenders on the city wall. However, the bamboo bow in the hands of the Jibei Army and the Dasui Mansion system hard bow in the hands of the Yanyun Village defenders were obviously more than the power, and the Jibei Army archers who lack training could not compare with the Yanyun Village soldiers. Their only advantage was that there were enough archers.

Making a qualified composite hard bow is very slow from material selection to production. The bamboo bow is different. Although the feather arrows shot out are light and have no strength, because they are cheap and simple to make, almost every soldier of the Jibei Army has one.

The dense feather arrows caused great trouble to the soldiers of Yanyun Village on the city wall, because the city wall was low, and bamboo bows could also kill people. Fortunately, the soldiers of Yanyun Village did not lack protective gear, and the thick leather armor on their bodies could prevent the feather arrows from drilling into their bodies.

Peng Zhen was the leader who was recently promoted by Wang Bo. In order to gain a foothold in the Jibei army, he took the initiative to ask to lead the army to launch an offensive first. Wang Bo also liked this young man who was only 22 years old this year. Not only was he skilled in martial arts, but he was also very brave. Compared with the old fried dough sticks who first followed Wang Bo to rebel, Wang Bo admired the sharpness of this young man very much.

After being valued by Wang Bo, Peng Zhen also had the determination to die for his confidant.

Seeing that his subordinates were suppressed by the defenders of Yanyun Village and could not make any progress under the city wall, Peng Zhen suddenly became anxious.

"Where is the city hammer? Why can't I come up again!"

He asked, roaring like a beast.

"General! Those cunning guys from Yanyun Village dug many traps on the official road, and the city hammers can't push them up at all!"

Someone replied loudly.

"Then let me fill it! Fill all the trapped horse pits and you must push the city hammer up. If the city hammer cannot be raised within half an hour, I will cut your head first!"

The soldiers of the Jibei Army who heard the order immediately divided the part. They could not find the tools to transport soil, so they had to take off their clothes and wrap them up and rushed forward. However, in this way, the soldiers who had no protective gear were even more dangerous when facing the feather arrows. The feather arrows easily tore open the thin clothes on their bodies, and then tear their skin open a certain internal organ.

Someone had not completely died after falling to the ground, but his companions were lifted up and put into the trap as a stone. Hundreds of Jibei soldiers behind him shouted and pushed the second rushing hammer up. The wooden wheel ran over the people who were padded in the trap immediately squeezed out a stream of blood. The body was rolled over by the heavy rushing hammer and folded it in half like a shrimp, while the ground was flattened to only two layers of flesh.

The soldiers of Jibei Army who carried the soil and put the pits died in groups. After paying the price of three or four hundred people, they finally leveled the trapped horse pits on the official road. The heavy and huge city hammer slowly advanced towards the city gate, and the iron chains hanging from huge trees made squeaking moans.

"Take all the wrapped lime powder!"

Xiong Kuohai ordered loudly.

Immediately, hundreds of eggplant-sized cloth bags were transported up, and the rope tied to the cloth bag was left about one meter away. As Xiongkuohai ordered the soldiers to pick up the cloth bag and swung it like a windmill, and then suddenly threw it towards the direction of the Chongcheng Hammer. Hundreds of cloth bags fell from the sky, and the cloth bags that hit the ground and the Chongcheng Hammer were broken and lime powder rose immediately. Soon this area turned white by the lime powder. The soldiers of the Jibei Army who were fascinated by the eyes screamed and covered their eyes and jumped back and forth.

The lime powder is soaked that there is no way to wash it with vegetable oil. If you wash it with water, you will immediately blind your eyes. But at this time, where will the soldiers of the Jibei Army go to find vegetable oil?

...

...

There is some rapeseed oil, but those soldiers of the Jibei Army who were blinded by lime powder could not get it. As more and more Jibei Army soldiers climbed up the cloud ladder, Xiongkuohai loudly ordered the soldiers to splash the boiling vegetable oil. The boiling vegetable oil was poured on the head, and immediately poured the Jibei Army soldiers who were climbing up the cloud ladder off the ladder. The soldiers who were covered in boiling oil rolled on the ground, and instantly the hair on the top of their heads fell off as they rolled.

Someone tried to pull the soldier who was splashed with boiling oil from the ground, but he pulled the man's arm and rubbed a layer of flesh immediately. The sticky skin stuck to his palms and made it disgusting. The soldiers of Jibei County who were rolling back and forth on the ground covered their faces and howled. When he let go of his hands, his skin was all stuck to his palms, and the eyelids that were scalded to the grayish white. And as their howling and breathing, their lips, which were scalded as if they had pierced the window paper, were shaking.

The gray heat rose, and a scent of meat was floating in it!

"We must block the city hammer! Archer, rockets are shooting!"

Xiongkuohai pointed at the big guy dozens of meters away from the city gate and shouted that hundreds of soldiers from the Jibei Army replaced the comrade who was fascinated by lime powder, and pushed the Chongcheng Hammer to slowly start again. They lowered their heads and gritted their teeth, and did not dare to raise their heads to look at the enemies on the city wall. Around the Chongcheng Hammer, there were a circle of soldiers holding shields. They squeezed together densely and raised the shields in their hands high into a whole.

With a buzzing sound, hundreds of rockets shot in. The flames floated backwards in the air, and then hit the heads of the soldiers of the Jibei Army.

In the first round, second round, and third round, within a few minutes, at least one thousand rockets poured into the position of the city hammer. The shield made of wooden boards quickly burned, and even the wooden wheel of the city hammer began to emit flames. As they were about to push to the city gate, the soldiers of the Jibei Army naturally refused to give up. Some of them picked up the soil from the ground with their hands to put out the fire, while others simply took off their clothes and slapped the flames.

In this way, the city-torn hammer, which was rising with smoke and flames, slowly approached the city gate.

Xu Shiji narrowed his eyes and sighed as he looked at the Chongcheng Hammer getting closer and closer.

"Wang Bo's troops attacked too hard. If he was hit by a hammer in the city, he would be afraid that Sucheng would be in danger."

Cheng Zhijie said with some concern, then he walked to Xu Shiji and sighed softly: "If the city is broken later, I will take my brothers to protect the military advisor and fight out in the chaos."

Xu Shiji waved his hand and said, "If the city gate is so easily broken, Yanyun Village is really not worthy of my admiration. Have you forgotten that the more than 6,000 elite cavalry brought by Li Xian this time? The cavalry is not good at defending the city. It happened to be used at this time. It seems that Wang Bo's troops and horses are very fierce but disconnected from each other. Yanyun Village's elite cavalry only needs to fight out and charge to kill the Jibei army that protected the city hammer."

While speaking, Xu Shiji looked at Li Xian.

...

...

Li Xian didn't use the elite cavalry of the Ruijin Camp because in his opinion it was not yet time to use the cavalry. He kept the Ruijin Camp and it was of great use. When he was using it, even Li Xian himself didn't know the exact time. He was waiting, and he had to wait. No matter how strong the first offensive of the Jibei Army was, Li Xian would not consider using the cavalry so quickly for the time being.

"This Wang Bo is too arrogant."

Xu Shiji sighed lightly: "He has an army of 150,000, but he only attacked the east gate of Sucheng. If he was testing Sucheng's defense, then the casualties would be too great. If all four gates attacked, I am afraid that Li Xian's troops would be short of strength now."

Cheng Zhi nodded and said, "Wang Bo is also a pride. Even if the 150,000 army only attacks one, they can still capture Sucheng after the hammer comes up to attack the city."

Xu Shiji looked at Li Xian again and frowned slightly and said, "It's already this time, why haven't he sent the cavalry out yet?"

Li Xian looked at Xiong Kuohai, but did not speak.

At this time, Xiong Kuohai's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Pilot!"

He shouted loudly, and then hundreds of soldiers from the Houtu Battalion guarding near the city gate tower immediately grabbed the spear that had been around. With the order of Xiong Kuohai, hundreds of spears hit the city hammers that were less than twenty meters away from the city gate. At this distance, the lethality of the spear is much greater than that of the feather arrows!

The sound of puffs was endless. Most of the Jibei soldiers who had burned most of their shields were nailed to death one after another. The dense guns were heavy and sharp, and could directly penetrate the human body and nail it to the ground. After a round of guns, there were only a few Jibei soldiers pushing the city hammer!

"I would have had a few crossbows!"

Xiong Kuohai wiped sweat from his forehead and sighed in his heart.

"Push the sandbag!"

He strode towards the direction of the city gate tower, and then pushed down the sandbags placed on the city wall with the soldiers guarding the city. Soon, a small hill was piled up in front of the city gate. In just over ten minutes, the city gate blocked the city gate from outside!
Chapter completed!
