Chapter 927: The Battle of Jiexiu

Ladders stood up, almost filling Jiexiu's city walls. When they arrived at the city, the arrows seemed to have become denser, but when they were only a few feet away from victory, all the soldiers of Sima's army became extremely excited. They stepped on the ladders and climbed up hard. The entire city wall was densely hung with Sima's army soldiers, as if they were covered with tigers climbing the wall.

The chariots kept shuttled back and forth on the battlefield, transporting the soldiers who were siegeing the city back and forth. Those who could get the treatment of riding the city were all elite soldiers in the Sima army, and they would be the main force in the siege.

In order to avoid the losses of these vanguards during the journey, Chen Qian naturally arranged for them to take the car first, so that their combat effectiveness could be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

The Sima army's attack concentrated a lot of troops. At this moment, the city was crowded with people, and it was so powerful that after rushing to the city, they rushed forward and rushed up the ladder without hesitation. Just looking at this formation was enough to make people feel numb.

As the name suggests, the ants siege is a intensive action like an ants. Looking down from the top of the city, a large crowd of people was filled with darkness, which was indeed no big difference from ants.

The Ant Support relies on the tactics of the sea of ​​people to attack the city. They pile up people without any chance. No matter how many people die, the momentum of the attack will not fade. It is through this continuous pressure on the defenders, which collapses the defensive will of the defenders, and thus takes the opportunity to take the city.

In short, the Ant Attack attack is a cost-effective way of siege. It does not consider the casualties of its own side. In order to achieve the goal of breaking the city, no matter how much casualties you pay, it will be willing to pay.

This is the most primitive way of siege and the most consumed way of siege, but it is often the most effective method. Many famous city offensive and defensive battles in history used this most violent and bloody way to break through the city.

Yang Hu was prepared for this. No matter what method the Sima Army used to attack the city, he had made sufficient preparations. Since Sima Army was preparing to use the method of siege to attack the city, let him see how many heads needed to prepare.

For the battle of Jiexiu City, the Bingzhou Army had prepared for at least two years. Two years had enough to do a lot of things. It was through these two years of efforts that the Bingzhou Army built Jiexiu City from an unknown second-class small county town into a fortress city with a defensive strength no less than that of Zhoucheng.

Therefore, Yang Hu was very confident in Jiexiu City's defense. Faced with the overwhelming offensive of Sima's army, Yang Hu remained as if he was calm and looked calm. He climbed the city tower to command the battle, calm without any panic.

Yang Hu's calmness infected all the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army. They also firmly guarded the front line of the city wall, united and fought to the death.

Jiexiu City has extremely complete defense power, including long-range attack weapons such as catapults, crossbows, bows and arrows, as well as a large number of short-range weapons such as rolling wood, rocks, rolling oil, boiling water. Now the Sima army has attacked the city. Due to the blind spots, heavy weapons and equipment such as catapults and crossbows are no longer available, but flexible single-soldier crossbows can still play a great role.

Especially the arrow tower, it can play an unparalleled role at this time. The original city wall defense was on a plane. If the defenders on the city wall wanted to attack the enemy who siege the city, they had to lean out. But in this way, they were easily sniped by archers who covered the siege soldiers under the city.

The Arrow Tower has no worries at all. Since the Arrow Tower is designed several feet above the city wall, it does not need to poke its head out at all. As long as it stays on the Arrow Tower, it can counterattack the enemy troops siege from both sides and even below.

Moreover, the wooden rock rolling stone, known as the city defense killer, is also useful. When dealing with the enemy in siege, the wooden rock rolling stone is several times stronger than the bow and arrow. An arrow can only kill one person at most, while the wooden rock rolling stone rolling stone is different and can become a group killing weapon.

Especially for rolling wood, a very powerful weapon when defending the city, often a rolling wood can sweep away thousands of troops. A rolling wood rolls down the ladder. No matter how many people there are on the ladder, they cannot stop it. They can only watch the rolling wood harvest countless lives along the way.

After the Sima army began to attack the city, the Bingzhou army immediately activated the city-defense weapons such as rolling wood, rocks, oil, and boiling water. The rolling wood was thrown out of the city wall. These heavy logs could not be blocked by the defenders with shields like they did when dealing with archers. Once they came to their heads, it would definitely be a disaster of death and no one could escape it.

There were many Sima Jun staying on the ladder, basically in a series of strings. At this time, a rolling wood could make them sequel. The effect of this attack is indeed powerful.

Of course, the rocks are not to show weakness. Each of these large square stones has hundreds of pounds of weight. If they hit a person, their white heads will burst. If they hit the ladder, the ladder will fall apart, and it will be difficult for the people on them to survive.

In addition to rolling wood and rocks, boiling oil and boiling water have also become important weapons for them to pass the city. Originally, boiling oil and boiling water were the two most common things in life and must be found in every kitchen, but at this moment, they have turned into murderous weapons and become a powerful weapon for defending the city.

There is no need to mention boiling water. If the boiling water is poured into a basin, Sima Jun will make the most painful howl. The boiling water tastes bad. If it is poured onto the face, it will have to peel off even if it is not dead.

The effect of boiling oil is basically the same as boiling water, and it also relies on high temperature to hurt the enemy. In fact, it is true that in war, you must do whatever you want to do in order to win.

Rolling oil has another purpose. If Sima Army soldiers use shields to cover them, they will certainly not be able to get wet on their faces or bodies, but some oil will inevitably be stained on the ladder and the shield. At this moment, only the defenders need to throw down a burning torch, and the entire ladder will be swallowed by the fire together with the people on the ladder.

If you were shot to death by a bow and arrow or smashed by a wooden rock, you might not be even more miserable by the fire. Once you were on fire, you could not even extinguish it. You could only be burned to charcoal alive, and your screams were as shrill as a ghost, and you couldn't bear to see it.

Even if it falls from the ladder, it is like a fireball hitting the ground. Not only will its own flame not be extinguished, it will also affect the crowd below. As long as there are oil marks, the fire will spread and cause greater chaos.
