Chapter 231 (1/2)
Rows of Qiang and Hu soldiers yelled at the top of the city, carrying the ladder, they rushed to the head of the city. They wanted to put the ladder on their shoulders on the top of the city, and then climbed the city to attack.
Of course, the Han garrison at the head of the city would not allow them to attack the city at will. The archers on the head of the city opened their bows and set up their arrows. As the bowstring relaxed, a rain of arrows covered the city, and immediately more than 1000 Qiang and Hu soldiers fell to the ground.
However, the Qiang and Hu soldiers were in large numbers after all. The Qiang and Hu soldiers in front of them were shot to the ground, and the Qiang and Hu soldiers behind immediately took over and carried the ladder, while the Qiang and Hu soldiers around raised their shields to cover the high-lying arrows and shield the advance of the siege troops.
And the qianghu archers under the head of the city are ready. Li Kan drinks: ”shoot the arrow!”
Deng Deng Deng, a burst of bow string strong sound, countless arrows released from the bottom up, aimed at the garrison above the city head.
The advantage of Han Sui army lies in the large number of people, and Han Sui's attack on the city naturally needs to give full play to this advantage. The overwhelming first troops carry ladder ants to attack the city, while the archers behind them release their bows and arrows without money, and at least ten arrows are nailed on one shield.
Under the cover of shield, Liu Ye's archers fight back against the qianghu archers and suppress the attack of the enemy siege troops. However, with the help of Qiang Hu archers, the first ladder was built on the top of the city. The Qiang and Hu soldiers immediately grabbed the ladder and climbed up with a saber in their mouth.
”Shemu!”
Ma Teng, who was stationed at the head of the city, immediately ordered the soldiers to guard the city. After several Qiang and Hu soldiers climbed up the ladder, they struggled to grab a log and then threw it down.
She Mu suddenly falls down with gravity and hits the head of the first Qiang Hu soldier. The sharp wooden thorn goes directly into his eyes and rolls down with a scream. Behind this Qiang Hu soldier, a group of fellow soldiers will suffer.
A Qiang and Hu soldier rolled down and smashed the soldiers behind him like a snowball. It can be said that it is a big killing weapon in the siege war.
For a while, the Qiang and Hu soldiers who climbed the ladder to attack the city were immediately smashed down by countless shemu. However, Xiangwu city is a small city after all. There are not many shemu preparations in the city. Shemu is quickly used up, and the replacement of shemu is the falling stone, but the role of falling stone is far less powerful than shemu.
Xiangwu is a county town. The city wall is only a few feet high. The Qiang and Hu soldiers are about to climb up. Zhang jaw, who is stationed in the western city wall, says, ”pour gold soup.”
After being boiled in the cauldron, the bubbling golden soup gave off an astonishing stench. The soldier on one side grasped the edge of the pot with thick cloth and then fell down gently.
A large pot of boiling soup fell head-on. The Qiang and Hu soldiers who were climbing on the ladder only felt their exposed skin scalded, and a kind of unbearable pain suddenly filled in. A whole row of Qiang and Hu soldiers suddenly rolled to the ground, sending out bursts of howling, and the Qiang and Hu soldiers on one side were frightened.
However, the materials for guarding the city were limited after all. After the garrison used up all kinds of means, the first batch of Qiang and Hu soldiers finally boarded the city.
”Kill!”
The first group of Qiang and Hu soldiers who boarded the city immediately drew a saber from their mouths and rushed up. The garrison at the head of the city went straight ahead without fear. The two armies were entangled.
Liu Ye mixed the old soldiers and the new recruits in the city. If they were brought out to the field directly, they would be defeated by the enemy. However, it is a good way to train soldiers to defend the city. There are not many elite soldiers under his command, so he takes this opportunity to train the new soldiers.
For a moment, the two armies were in a standoff, and Han then saw this and waved: ”prepare for the siege vehicle.”
”Here it is.”
