Chapter 930

The Bingzhou Army was also trying hard to prevent the siege vehicles from approaching. After the catapult cart lost its function, Yang Hu took the initiative to order the use of the catapult cart to stop using it. The bows and arrows basically had no effect on the siege vehicles, so Yang Hu did not advocate letting the archers attack them.

However, many Bingzhou soldiers could not help but use bows and arrows to shoot, trying to attack Sima soldiers hiding around the siege cart.

The arrows fell on the siege car and were nailed directly to the body. From a distance, the siege car looked like a hedgehog, but these arrows could not cause any damage to the siege car. It still advanced forward tenaciously, pointing directly to Jiexiu's southern city gate.

When Yang Hu saw that the siege car had arrived at the city gate, he immediately ordered the defenders to use wooden rocks to smash them and pour them with tinder oil. He tried his best to stop the siege car from destroying the city gate.

However, because the roof of the siege car is quite thick, and it is covered with a layer of wet cowhide, the rolling wood and rocks fall down and are bounced aside. After all, these woods and rocks do not have the potential energy of stone bombs, and it seems difficult to destroy the siege car.

Moreover, the turmeric oil that has been tried and tested in destroying the ladder seemed to not threaten the siege vehicles. In order to prevent the Bingzhou army from using fire attack, the Sima army poured water on the siege vehicles in advance. When they arrived at the city, they poured it again. The whole vehicle became wet, and even if the siege oil was poured on, it could not be ignited.

In response to this, the defenders on the city could only sigh at the car. Now that they want to destroy the siege car, they will have a chance only if they find ways to get close to it. However, in order to protect the siege car, the Sima Army arranged a large number of soldiers to protect the siege car around the siege car.

Of course, these soldiers were also prepared to invade Xuecheng. Once the siege car breaks through the city gate, these soldiers will immediately launch an attack and enter the city.

If the suicide squad was sent to destroy the siege car at this time, it would be no different from suicide, because no matter how good the martial arts skills were, it would be impossible to complete the task in the Sima army's sea of ​​people. So Yang Hu simply gave up the idea of ​​destroying the siege car and sent troops to guard the urn.

Jiexiu originally had no urn city, but after this reconstruction, Yang Hu deliberately built four urn city at the four gates. The purpose of the urn city is to protect the main city gate of the city. Once the main city gate is broken, the second defense of Jiexiu City is such a urn city.

The siege car arrived at the city gate without any pause, and rushed towards the city gate regardless of everything.

Dozens of Sima soldiers hiding in the siege car desperately pulled the siege hammer back, and then, with the help of inertia, pushed the siege hammer towards the city gate.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang in the sky, and the entire city gate was trembling, as if an earthquake occurred. Even the Bingzhou Army on the top of the city obviously felt that the entire city was shaking.

However, Jiexiu's city gate is extremely strong. Such a large siege hammer hit the city gate, at most it would only cause some deformation of the city gate.

Of course, Sima Jun did not expect to break open the city gate with one attack. They pushed the attacking ram and crashed back and forth towards the city gate again and again.

After finally hitting dozens of times in a row, there was only a "boom" sound, and the city gate was finally knocked open. The Sima soldiers in the siege car all crawled on the siege hammer, so tired that they couldn't straighten their waists.

Sima Jun, who was following the siege car, had been waiting for this moment. As soon as the city gate was broken, these Sima Jun immediately howled excitedly and rushed towards the city gate like a wolf.

Originally, he thought there would be a fierce battle at the city gate, but after entering the city gate, Sima Jun suddenly discovered that there was not even a Bingzhou army behind the city gate, and the entire city gate was silent and there was no one.

Although he was confused, Sima Jun, who was rushing forward like a tide, had no time to think too much. Everyone rushed into the city, as if once they entered the city, the credit would be for sure.

The Sima family's military achievements are extremely abundant. Ordinary soldiers want to make a name for themselves and the children of the Shi family want to make a fortune. Relying on military achievements is naturally a perfect shortcut.

At this moment, military achievements are in front of you, so how can it not make people feel excited? So not only the troops originally arranged, but also Sima Bing, who was preparing to attack the city, saw the city gate open, rushed here desperately, wanting to get a share of the pie.

But after rushing inside, the soldiers of Sima Jun were obviously stunned. Is this the city? Why is there a city wall and a city gate in front? Damn, there is a city in the city. I worked hard to break through the first city gate, and there was a second city gate waiting for them. Is such a urn city a second-class county?

After the Sima Jun, who was originally passionate and powerful, entered the city, it was like a basin of cold water, staring at the second city gate in a daze, at a loss.

They attacked the city and thought it would be smooth after entering the city, so they only had their own weapons and did not carry any siege equipment. Facing the inner city wall as high as the outer city wall, they were all confused. Is there no way out?

The Sima army behind him was still pouring in without knowing the details. Soon the open space in the urn was filled with people. An officer who looked like a captain found that something was wrong and immediately shouted loudly: "There is an ambush, retreat quickly!"

But it was too late, and there was a loud rumbling sound. The Bingzhou army on the city had cut off the ropes, and a thousand-pound gate fell down, blocking the city gate.

The Qianjin Gate is made of solid wood wrapped in iron sheet, with iron nails nailed on it, and the weight is more than a thousand jin. Originally, this Qianjin Gate was the second defensive city gate. After the first city gate was broken, the Qianjin Gate could serve as a backup city gate to block the enemy's attack.

Because the construction cost of Qianjin Gate is expensive, many cities are not set up, which shows how much money Cao Liang spared when he built the fortress city of Jiexiu.

However, Yang Hu did not start the Qianjin Gate in advance, but instead let some of the Sima army enter the city, he ordered the defenders to cut off the ropes and drop the Qianjin Gate. The reason for doing this was that Yang Hu was trying to catch a turtle in the jar.

In fact, there is only one chance like this. After Sima Jun was deceived once, he will definitely not go there again. So Yang Hu was not anxious and deliberately sold a flaw to give Sima Jun a chance to break the city gate. Of course, it is not so easy to break the city. Sima Jun also spent a lot of effort to destroy the city gate.

After a large number of Sima soldiers rushed into the urn city, they found that the situation was not good. It was too late to turn back at this time.
