This offensive and defensive battle entered the most tragic battle from the beginning. The method of ants-attacking the city adopted by Sima's army was destined to be a hand-to-hand battle between blood and fire.

The Bingzhou Army had a variety of defensive methods. It can be said that Yang Hu spent a lot of effort on guarding Jiexiu City. Anything that could be used as a weapon was exceptionally moved to the city wall, becoming a weapon for the Bingzhou Army to kill the enemy.

Yang Hu collected enough grease and set up a large pot on the city wall to boil the oil. The oil rolled away in this way is not only lethal, but also prepared for the fire. A barrel of oil can destroy a ladder and several soldiers of Sima's army. Of course, Yang Hu hopes to do more and more of such a good deal.

Of course, the more methods the defenders have, the better. All kinds of weapons are emerging one after another, so that the Sima army cannot defend themselves. Whether it is a catapult suitable for long-range combat or a boiling oil suitable for close combat, they are all powerful weapons for the city defense of Jiexiu City. They constantly destroy the confidence of Sima army and make their siege moves futile.

The Sima Army's siege army was still immersed in the excitement of the carriages successfully filling the trenches, but when it was the real turn to siege, it was like being hit by a stick. The Sima Army launched a strong attack, under the endless defenses of the Bingzhou Army, was severely damaged. After many consecutive attacks, the Sima Army still failed to break through Jiexiu's city defense. Instead, it suffered losses and suffered losses.

Many ladders were destroyed. The Bingzhou Army used a large amount of boiling oil and fire to seriously destroy the ladders. Although the Sima Army was not short of people, there were not all the ladders used in the siege. The ladders used now were almost all the ladders that the Sima Army could collect. Every time one was destroyed, the power of the Sima Army to attack the city was weakened. If these ladders were destroyed by the Bingzhou Army, it would be a big city.

Chen Qian and Sima Shi both frowned and used tinder oil to defend the city, which is a common method, but most of the time, this can only be used as an auxiliary method. I have never heard of the city trying hard to dump tinder oil downwards when defending. After all, that kind of resource is limited, and even if you have money, it is impossible to use it without restrictions.

But it seemed that the Bingzhou Army had no such concerns. A large amount of turmeric oil was poured down and destroyed the ladder that Sima Army had attacked the city.

Other weapons may be wary of, but there is really no way to do this kind of thing. You just put a shield on it and pour it up and even your shield is burned. After all, the shield is made of wood, so you really can't defend it.

Although we knew that the cloud ladder was the biggest consumable when siegeing the city, while Sima's army was sieging the city, the craftsmen in the military camp were also rushing to build cloud ladders and other equipment day and night, according to the consumption level, there was a completely in short supply.

If more and more ladders were destroyed, the Sima army's siege would inevitably be greatly affected. Although Chen Qian and Sima Shi did not expect to take down Jiexiu City on the first day of the siege, the key to this battle was self-evident. If it was not fought well today, it would likely affect the morale of the army and would be unfavorable to the subsequent attack. Therefore, today's first battle must show the momentum of Sima army. Even if you can't take Jiexiu City, you must give the defenders a warning.

But the current situation is just the opposite. Although the Sima army's offensive was tide, it only blossomed but did not bear fruit, and it only thundered but did not rain. Instead, the momentum of the offensive was suppressed by the Bingzhou army, which made people give them a warning.

Siege is always a difficult side compared to defending the city. Although the Sima army has the advantage of its military strength and is twice as high as the Bingzhou army, this advantage cannot be reflected in this siege battle.

On the contrary, the Bingzhou Army was well prepared and had all kinds of defensive weapons, which made Sima Army not have any temper. It seemed that it was impossible to take Jiexiu City overnight.

Chen Qian suddenly had a plan and ordered urgently: "Roll the car, launch an attack immediately!"

After the attack on the city wall was blocked, Chen Qian thought about changing the strategy of attack. Isn’t Sima’s army still preparing to rush the car? At this time, taking advantage of the Bingzhou army’s attention to the city wall, it would be better to send rushing the city gate to rush, which might result in miraculous effects.

A storm is also called a siege car. It is a thick log that is hung on a beam with ropes or iron chains inside. The log has a metal cap at the back end and a metal head at the front end. It is mostly made into a sheep's head shape, which is called a siege hammer. When siege, the soldiers in the siege car rely on the joint efforts to grab the siege hammer and move backwards and then violently hit the city gate. Relying on inertia and kinetic energy to destroy the latch structure behind the city gate or the door.

Sima's army's siege car was very tall, and the top was made into a spire covered with raw cowhide. In this way, the siege car would not be destroyed by the arrows and stones of the defenders when pushed to the city.

The siege car is a giant, requiring dozens of soldiers to push it forward, and the movement speed is very slow, but its destructive power is amazing. The siege ram that requires two people to hold together is the only attack weapon of the siege car. The siege car can attack the city gate or the city wall.

Perhaps destroying the rammed earth city wall is a good thing for siege cars, but even if the siege cars are made or the thicker the siege ram is, it is difficult to move the brick-type city wall with brick walls like Jiexiu.

Of course, Chen Qian could see the pros and cons clearly. He did not use siege cars to hit the city wall, but instead headed towards Jiexiu's city gate under the cover of a large number of soldiers.

At this time, the moat had been filled, and the suspension bridge originally placed on the moat was also destroyed by the Sima army. All obstacles were cleaned up on the road where the siege vehicles advanced.

The only thing the siege car is the catapult car. The siege car does not move as fast as the siege car, and can escape the attack of the catapult car. They move slowly and are very large, which is particularly eye-catching on the battlefield. As soon as the siege car appears, it will immediately attract the attention of the Bingzhou army, so it is also a relatively difficult thing to escape the attack route of the catapult car.

Therefore, Chen Qian sent siege vehicles to attack, not just one, but sent five or six vehicles at the same time, and went hand in hand, so that the firepower of the catapult car could be dispersed. As long as one of them could rush to the city gate and blow up Jiexiu's city gate, it would be considered successful.
