Chapter 232
"Start the siege!" The general responsible for commanding the siege received the siege order from Beigong Yuling. Under the gaze of the generals led by Beigong Yuling and the soldiers of the reserve force, the first formation was two.
The siege troops composed of thousands of people rushed towards the city wall with cloud ladders and other siege weapons. There were archers and stone throwers distributed behind them, and giant crossbows formed a long-distance attack team. They all fired their best to suppress the defenders on the city wall.
The Tongzes who were sieging the city were covering.
The giant crossbows and stone throwers, which are completely based on the direction and strength of human power, often drop weapons with powerful lethality into the camp of their own troops. The giant crossbows are a little better, but the accuracy of the stone thrower is not satisfactory.
The huge rocks thrown out were almost 100 times flying beyond the top of the city and were halfway through.
"Everyone be careful! The crossbowmen stepped forward and shot arrows! Hired behind the battlements!" The Han army guard at the top of the city was also a good shooting man. He personally took the bow and pulled the arrows and fought on the front line.
After all, it was not the first day to defend the city. The defenders who were gradually accustomed to this rhythm of war did not need any further words from the commander. The turbulent oil and stone throwing machines on the top of the city were all ready.
When the first siege troops of the rebels arrived at the foot of the city, they were already dead. The remaining people had to hide behind their companions' bodies or stand on the corners of the city wall, blind spots that the archers could not see.
"No! Start the second formation! Come out in the well railing!" Beigong Yuling led so many troops to attack Xiliang City for the first time, hoping to capture Xiliang City in one fell swoop today, and saw that the first formation was so easily defeated
, wouldn't you have to be angry and swing your sword? The soldiers of the second formation had already prepared their troops and horses, and rushed out with a loud roar. And with the rumbling sound of the war drums of the sky, ten of them were covered with soldiers.
The leather, a well railing that was fifteen meters high, opened out of the rebel camp in a row, and moved slowly with the efforts of the soldiers on the bottom floor.
Originally, there were still many refusals and traps outside Xiliang City, but after a few days of small siege, they were demolished and empty, so in addition to the threats from the top of the city, it can be said that it was smooth sailing.
On the battlefield of the West Gate, Beigong Yuling had just sent a well rail, and the attacks of the other three gates also started at the same time. Niu Fu from the East Gate did not follow the regular siege of waves, and directly waved his hand to 15,000.
The army rushed up, facing the dark and densely packed rebels under the city wall, and the defenders on the city wall were fully fired, but Niu Fu's camp also had a long-distance attacking force, which played a good role in the city wall.
The resistance encountered on the city wall increased suddenly compared to yesterday, so I had to start asking for help from the city, while opening up the fortifications regardless of the losses, and defending the Xiliang City defenders who were ready to die.
The ladder that he had finally built was immediately pushed down. Niu Fu had no choice but to watch the soldiers on the battlefield screaming continuously. The ladder that he built was destroyed again and again, and he was helpless.
When the east gate was stalemate, Beigong Zhening of the north gate led his headquarters, but he did not dare to move forward. The enemy he faced was Cheng Gongying, a soldier in the Xiliang army. Cheng Gongying personally guarded the north gate, but
Playing the "Empty City Scheme". No soldier was arranged on the city wall, but the sound of war drums in the city wall kept coming. Except for the three sons of Beigong, the others were all mediocre. The Beigong Zhe in front of him
Ning is a very typical member. Beigong Zhening just ordered four deputy generals to lead people to surround the entire North Gate. After laying the arrow feathers for a while, they stopped and stopped giving orders.
, afraid of ambushing in the city, he dared not act rashly.
Compared to the "slowness" of the East Gate, Wang Dang, the No. 1 general under Beigong Yuling at the South Gate, was much more impatient. There were a total of 25,000 troops, and the native man on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was wearing heavy armor and left behind.
Five thousand troops were in charge of the formation. No matter what archers and big shield soldiers were, in addition to the necessary operators such as stone throwing machines, giant crossbows, and rushing vehicles, they directly took the hammer and carried the army and carried the ladder to attack the city.
The guard of the gate was Ma Teng's tribe, a middle-aged man named Ma Si. As his name was, Ma Si appeared on the city wall to supervise the battle, but he was just a Confucian costume, but he lined up more than 20 powerful generals on both sides.
All of them are wearing military uniforms and are all members of the Ma family.
Under the pouring rain, the battles in all directions of Xiliang City started. The heavy rain had a significant impact on both the offensive and defensive sides. Many siege rebels were beaten by the rain so that they dared not open their eyes, and then they felt that they could not open their eyes.
A sharp pain in his chest was pierced through his chest by arrow feathers from nowhere. The ground moistened by heavy rain made the movement of the well rail a little faster, and the flame attack on the defending city was also extinguished by heavy rain, leaving only the only thing left
A flame burned with tincture oil.
"It's raining heavily." Zi spoke to the rare person who took the initiative, and Zhang Chen next to him also nodded.
"General Guo! The enemy is blocking our camp ahead! Please take your headquarters to march quickly to open the way!" Guo Si was on Zhang Chen's side, frowned at Zhang Chen's order, but Zhang Chen did not
Discovered. Guo Si knew that he didn't know how to care about family feuds now, so he had to agree, "Yes! My subordinate, follow me!" After Guo Si finished speaking, he rode his horse with his personal soldiers and deputy generals in the heavy rain.
Go back to your own formation and mobilize the troops to open the way.
"General Hu! Go and command the infantry in your headquarters and follow our steps! I will lead the cavalry first and support Xiliang City!" Zhang Chen stopped his horse at this time and said to Hu Zhen and others on the other side.
Hu Zhen also ran back after receiving the order.
During the heavy rain, the entire army, including Zhang Chen, did not bring any rainproof equipment. When they received the order in Chang'an, they rushed to send troops, and Guo Si and others were not fully prepared.
Zhang Chen asked Zhou Shi, who was aware of light skills, to take the lead. When things came to this point, Zhang Chen had to use the power of cultivation at hand. The Zhou family in Western Shu is a large family of cultivation based on light skills and hidden weapons. Although Zhou Shi is a big fat man, he can really use it.
When he was practicing light skills, Zhang Chen couldn't believe it. Although he was a cultivator, he was just an ordinary person after all. Zhou Shi had some endurance. At the current distance, he could only barely cross the rebel camp and reach Xiliang.
City. So Zhang Chen asked Zhou Shi to take the lead at this time and notified Ma Teng and others that reinforcements had arrived to cooperate with the internal and external combat.
In the heavy rain, Zhang Chen had to squint his eyes, but this did not affect Zhang Chen's vision at all. He had received such training in the special forces, so it was naturally no problem. Under Zhang Chen's gaze, the seven thousand from Guo Si's army was 7,000
The cavalry had already rushed to the rebel camp, but there was still no unit coming out to fight the rebel camp!
