Chapter 323: Breaking Zhang He (4)

After a while, Zhang He pulled out the sword from his waist, raised it high, and shouted loudly: "All the troops obey orders and attack!"

With a command, the flag was waving, and the Wei army surrounded on the north, east and south of Jieting had already carried the rush-made ladder to the Jieting.

Hearing the shouts of killing here in Jieting, the Wei army at the foot of Nanshan and outside Wangping Camp also launched an attack, and a battle of tens of thousands of people began.

"kill.....,"

Zhang He surrounded Sanjue and attacked Jieting, and Yang Qing had to divide his troops into three. He, Guliza and Badi each led two thousand troops to resist the Wei army.

The city wall of Jieting is not high, and the Wei army does not need to build more other siege equipment. The ladder alone can put great pressure on the city defense of the Han army. Therefore, the Han army will not allow the ladder of the Wei army to easily build the city wall of Jieting.

"Shoot the arrow!"

With the order of Yang Qing, the crossbows on the top of the city were fired at the same time, and a wave of arrows poured down from the air, shooting the Wei soldiers who could not escape to the ground.

The Han army's crossbowmen focused on attacking the Wei soldiers carrying ladders on their shoulders. So far, they are the most threatening and must give them the greatest harm.

"ah!"

Wei Bing, who was carrying the front of the cloud ladder, was shot in an arrow in his chest, screamed, and fell to the ground weakly, and the cloud ladder on his shoulder also fell down.

The Wei Bing behind him was immediately unable to hold on and hit the ladder. He knew that it was not the time to hurt, so he rolled from the ground and avoided the two sharp arrows shot. He was delighted, climbed up, and ran back quickly.

Seeing that the Wei soldier was about to run into a shield formation not far behind him, he suddenly discovered that a bloody arrow appeared in front of his throat.

He turned his head with difficulty and looked up hard. He seemed to see a Han army celebrating and cheering on the opposite city wall. He wanted to say something, but he didn't make a sound. He fell to the ground with a bang.

The Wei soldiers around seemed to be unwilling to care about this, and two more Wei soldiers rushed up from behind, picked up the ladder on the ground and carried it on their shoulders, rushed up towards the Jieting City Wall.

In this situation, scene after scene occurred. Although the Wei army's crossbowmen were still shooting at the Han army under the cover of the shield, the Han army was condescending, with excellent crossbows and skillful shooting skills. The Wei army's arrows did not have much suppression.

However, after all, the Wei army was crowded. After paying a considerable price of casualties, some ladders finally came to the front of Jieting. The more tragic offensive and defensive battle finally arrived.

"Ring the wood and round stones, let it go!" Seeing a large number of Wei soldiers gathered under the city to climb the ladder, Zhou Xing loudly ordered an attack.

The war was fierce and arrows flew everywhere. For the sake of Yang Qing's safety, everyone suggested that he go back to the city tower. Yang Qing did not pretend to be persistent. It was not yet time for him to go to the death in person, so he handed over the command of the front line to Zhou Xing.

Large wood and large stones were thrown off the city. The Wei soldiers below were smashed down, and bursts of wailing sounds were heard.

The Wei soldiers who were climbing the ladder suffered a key blow. Many Wei soldiers were hit by the rolling stones and their brains burst out and fell off the ladder. The Wei army's offensive was suppressed.

Although Zhang He was worried about the casualties of his soldiers in the back formation, he was used to life and death. He knew that siege was so cruel. The defeat of a city was often made by human lives. He was not kind to control the troops. Only those who were cruel and ruthless can be the leader of the army.

"The drum sound cannot be lowered, continue to cheer for a certain drumbeat." Hearing the drum sound behind him seemed to have become low, Zhang He turned his head and shouted at a general.

The general responded, quickly turned his horse's head and came to the drum formation to convey Zhang He's military order. Soon the exhausted drummer was replaced, and the sound of the war drum became louder again.

The intense drums maintained the relatively strong morale of the Wei army. In addition, these Wei soldiers were all elite soldiers, so they would not dare to retreat easily without military orders.

The more ladders were laid, and more and more Wei soldiers were climbing. Although the Han army kept using crossbows, wooden and rolling stones to block the Wei soldiers from coming to the city, they could not block all the enemy troops.

At this time, a Wei army chief was wearing heavy armor and biting a steel knife to quickly avoid the Han army's arrows above his head, climbed up a few steps quickly, jumped up, and jumped onto the city wall.

He had a fierce sword technique. Before the Han army in front of him could react, he cut two people in a row and stood firm at the top of the city. With him stopping the Han army against the counterattack, more and more Wei soldiers climbing up the city wall became more and more, and soon more than a dozen people gathered.

Seeing someone climbing into the city first, the Wei army cheered and their morale was greatly boosted. Zhang He was also quite excited, hoping that the dozens of warriors would first climb into the city to expand their results and to support more soldiers to jump to the top of Jieting City.

Zhou Xing also discovered that the Wei army had climbed the city wall and quickly drew troops to slaughter. After a fierce battle, the Han army finally killed all the Wei soldiers in the city, without giving the enemy a chance to expand their advantage.

Although Zhang He said it was a pity when he saw this, he knew that as long as the army maintained this momentum, there would be people who would climb the city wall again later, so he continued to urge the troops to work hard.

Seeing that Wei Jun was still climbing the cloud ladder without fear, Zhou Xing felt a little anxious and shouted angrily: "Is the golden juice bottle ready yet?"

The so-called golden juice is boiled hot feces, which is a killer weapon to defend the city. Sprinkling this object can not only cause the enemy to be burned, but also pollute the wounds and make it difficult for the enemy to be treated. In addition, the disgusting odor can cause double physical and mental damage to the enemy.

Nowadays, the tactic of using golden juice to defend the city has not yet appeared. The Han army can make it a result of Yang Qing, a man who has absorbed military wisdom in the future. He did not want to show off this kind of biological and chemical weapon to the Wei army, who are also a Chinese tribe, but at this moment, the Han army is at a critical moment of life and death, and has to do its best.

As for the ash bottle, it is a bottle filled with lime. If thrown out, it will make the enemy unable to open its eyes, thereby achieving the purpose of injuring and killing the enemy. It is generally used in conjunction with gold juice.

Hearing Zhou Xing's urging, a messenger ran down the city to come to the private house where gold juice was boiled and gray bottles were prepared and asked, "Is the golden juice juice bottle ready?"

"It's almost done." The head of the clerk replied.

The messenger said: "Okay, hurry up and go to the city."

After a while, all the Han soldiers covered their mouths and noses with scarves. It turned out that the gold juice had been transported to the city wall, and the smell was so stinking. Because Yang Qing reminded them, the troops were ready so that they would not get angry with their own people.

"Spray gold juice and throw away the dust bottle."

With Zhou Xing's order, the hot and smelly golden juice fell down to the Wei army under the city. A large number of Wei soldiers were immediately poured on the ground and howled loudly.

The Wei Bing, who had not yet been caught, was a little stunned for a moment. This was the first time they had seen such a disgusting attack. It was fine if they were scalded, but they were still scalded by feces. It was both painful and nauseous, and it made people's scalp numb.

The attack of gold juice was so terrible that the Wei soldiers immediately felt that the gray bottles thrown together became more and more pleasant. Although the lime squinted eyes were also unbearable, it was at least not so nauseous and pungent.

The attack of the golden juice bottle was effective. The Wei soldiers screamed repeatedly, which scared many Wei soldiers quickly jumped down from the ladder and retreated back. The remaining people who were lucky enough to be defeated by arrows and rolling stones.

In an instant, the Wei army retreated on a large scale. Even the captain who led the team to supervise the battle killed dozens of people, but could not stop the retreat.

Zhang He, who had heard the report in the back formation, had a very clear face, but he also knew that the soldiers had indeed tried their best. The Han army had too many methods to deal with it, so he had to order the Mingjin to withdraw his troops and suspend the attack.
