Episode 215: Siege

The wind roared, the war drums and thunder were thundering, and the huge rocks that were speeding through the sky were like meteors falling, constantly falling on the city. The crazy and dense attacks made the defenders above the city almost unable to raise their heads. Seeing that the time had come, Chen Dao immediately ordered Xu Chu to lead 10,000 Taiping soldiers to launch an attack.●⌒,

Several tower cars and dozens of cloud ladders, driven by the Taiping soldiers, moved forward rapidly and quickly approached the city wall. Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, like wolves and tigers, rushed towards the city wall ahead.

The long-range catapulted car had a fierce offensive, and the defenders on the city wall could not raise their heads at all, let alone launching defensive attacks in time, so the Taiping soldiers rushed under the city wall very smoothly.

The cloud ladder was in front, and ladders hit the high city walls. The soldiers of Taiping Army who had already prepared were shouting, and immediately climbed up the ladder quickly. The cart was behind, and the Taiping Army archers listed on the roof of the cart opened their bows and shot arrows to cover their own siege troops.

"No, the Taiping thieves are attacking!" A glimpse of the falling ladder on the city wall, a defender just shouted, and a feather arrow shot from the cart penetrated his body.

"Swoosh" Many defenders who had just taken the risk of standing up were about to continue shouting, but the feather arrows flying from the car made them completely shut their mouths.

The huge rocks were fierce, and the rain of arrows covered the sky. The defenders who were unable to resist were attacking rapidly. The soldiers of the Taiping Army, along the ladders, soon many Taiping Army soldiers successfully climbed the walls of Gaoliu City with the help of long-range stone catapults and archers.

"Kill!" The commander is not as good as Chen Dao, but in terms of courage, Xu Chu asked himself that he would never lose to any military general in the world. At this moment, he led the way and followed the Taiping soldiers to the city wall. Seeing a defender standing in front of him, he immediately shouted loudly, and the long black iron sword wrapped in the unparalleled terrifying wind and swept through the powerful force. Only a harsh roar broke through the air, and suddenly burst out with the most dazzling sharp edge.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!" It was a sharp sound of the sharp blade cutting into the body. The three defenders who were blocking him from the chest were immediately cut into the knife. With a shrill scream, almost all of their bodies were cut into two pieces, and blood splattered and fell to the ground.

Without any hesitation, Xu Chu immediately stretched out a hand to leverage the force on the city wall and pressed it. Once he turned over, he fell steadily on the city wall.

"No, some thieves have climbed the city tower..." Seeing Xu Chu climbing the city wall in such a fierce way, the officers and soldiers guarding the city nearby screamed in surprise.

"Hahaha, the border city is just like this. Where is Gongsun Xu? I feel like fighting with me?" Xu Chu laughed wildly, but the long black iron sword in his hand did not stop at all, accompanied by his blade. The soldiers guarding the city nearby could not resist it, and were chopped to the ground by him, without any enemy.

In the rear, Taiping soldiers continued to climb the walls of Gaoliu City, gathered spontaneously behind Xu Chu, and launched the most fierce attack on the defenders on the wall.

Xu Chu was the first to take the lead, with the sharp edge of the black iron sword, and the momentum was amazing. The soldiers of the city guards who were already panicked could not resist it. With his crazy slaughter, he moved forward bravely. Soon, a piece of open space was set aside for him, and within ten steps, no defender dared to approach.

At this time, the offensive of the long-range trencher had stopped. After all, the Taiping Army soldiers had already climbed the city wall and continued to throw huge rocks to attack, it would be difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us. It would be fine if they injured the enemy, but if they hit their own people, it would not be a good thing.

Fortunately, the car is still there, and although the archers on the roof cannot continue to shoot randomly, they can also select targets to attack at a fixed point, which can still pose a certain threat to the city-defying officials.

However, such a threat is no better than before. With the scattering attack, Gongsun Xu immediately organized the defenders on the city to actively defend and launch an attack on the Taiping Army. The two convenient forces were on the city wall and launched the most intense short-term battle.

Xu Chu was in front and made a crazily way. The Taiping Army soldiers behind him had almost no decent resistance. More and more Taiping Army soldiers continued to climb the city walls. Most of these soldiers gathered together, followed Xu Chu, bravely moved forward, and tried their best to cover up the killing.

In just half an hour, the Taiping Army soldiers had seized half of the city of Gaoliu City. The two sides were entangled and fought and fought.

Under the city wall, Chen Dao could not help but show a happier look on his face when he saw this scene. He thought that this battle would definitely cost a heavy price, but he did not expect that with the cooperation of the catapult and the tower car, the siege battle could go so smoothly, which was really surprising.

You should know that in the siege battle, the defending party often has an absolute advantage in geographical advantages. In addition, the rain of Rolling Wood Legs arrows often brings great damage to the siege party. Unfortunately, in this battle, the Taiping Army's long-range stone casting car and tower car played an unexpected role, making the Gaoliu City defender unable to use many methods of defending the city, and the advantages and disadvantages of both sides were all flattened in a blink of an eye.

"Wu Zhou, I'll lead you three thousand troops and break the city gate for me!" Seeing that the time for breaking the city was approaching, Chen Dao ordered again that a young general under his command immediately led his troops out and rushed straight to the gate of Gaoliu City with a car that hit the city.

"Bang!" With the efforts of nearly a hundred Taiping soldiers, the city-killing car hit the city gate with a loud bang. With a loud bang, the huge city gate kept shaking violently and squeaking, as if it was about to break and collapse at any time.

"One, two, three, collision!" Wu Zhou took Chen Da's general order, so he naturally did not dare to carry it at all. He failed to hit the city once, and immediately shouted the order again.

Three thousand soldiers took turns to fight, pushing the city car to the city, gritting their teeth, and hitting the city gate desperately. With the sound of thunder, the city gate kept shaking, and the degree of shaking became greater and greater. Seeing this scene, the soldiers became even more excited. Everyone knew that breaking through the city gate was close to them.

"The Taiping Army General Xu Chu is here! Where is Gongsun Xu? How dare you fight me?!" On the city wall, Xu Chu was brave and unstoppable, and he shouted loudly from time to time to shock the enemy's mind.

"Tiger silly Xu Chu?!" After hearing Xu Chu's name, the surrounding city guards couldn't help but exclaim at the formation. When they were close, they couldn't help but be so scared that their calves were shaking and their whole body was trembling.

After the Battle of Jieqiao, the top generals of the Taiping Army have long been famous, and Xu Chu is no exception. In addition to the bravery that Xu Chu showed just now, who dares to easily come forward to become enemies with him?

"Damn it, these official troops are so timid. How can they defend the border city and fight against foreign invasions?!" Seeing that most of the soldiers guarding the city were afraid and dared not come forward, Xu Chu was not happy, but could not help but curse, and then led a large number of Taiping Army soldiers to attack forward frantically.

After a crazy killing battle, Xu Chu was covered in blood at this moment, like a demonic ghost crawling out from the depths of hell, with a sword in his hand constantly, and his sharp edge was almost invincible.

"Bandits, don't be rampant, see my Gongsun Xu come to fight you." Seeing Xu Chu approaching, Gongsun Xu calculated that after such a long battle, Xu Chu should be exhausted even if he was brave. He immediately made a fuss in his heart. With his hand raised, a long sword broke through the air and rushed straight to Xu Chu.

"Good come!" Even though the battle was greatly damaged by fighting all the way, Xu Chu was not afraid at all. He raised his hand and raised his knife to fight, and laughed out loud: "Are you Gongsun Xu? After being a turtle with a headscared for so long, is he finally willing to come out to fight me?!"

Amid the laughter, I heard a sharp and harsh "sonorous" confrontation. The two swords collided, bursting with sparks and extinctions. Layer waves of air exploded, causing the city to surge. Then, a huge recoil force burst out, and the two trembled and retreated. However, this retreat was not the end, but the real beginning of the battle between the two sides! (To be continued.)
