Chapter 751

At this time, the city has sounded the order of archers to launch. Nearly a thousand archers, bending their bows and taking arrows, launched several rounds of volleys towards the next 80 steps of the city.

Hearing the sound of the city, the generals who were in charge of leading the siege all cried out: "pay attention to the arrows of the city!"

For a moment, the sword and shield soldiers raised their shields one after another to cover themselves and the body of Ze Pao around them with shields.

"Bang bang"

Like a blast and a shower, the arrows came down from the sky. They seemed to go through all kinds of places. In an instant, they covered the attacking taxis in the sky.

One after another, hundreds of soldiers were injured by the arrows at the head of the city. Seeing this, Huang Zhong of the Chinese Army immediately ordered the Chinese army to beat the drum and order the soldiers to speed up their advance.

For the army of ants attacking the city, these casualties are inevitable for the soldiers. The only thing we can do is to capture the city as soon as possible, otherwise, the longer the time, the greater the casualties of the army.

"Fast, fast, speed up, advance, attack Puyang..."

"Kill..."

With the roar of the soldiers, the siege soldiers quickened their pace, ran along the filled siege channel towards the wall, and the army quickly approached the wall.

At this time, the following Jinglan car also began to shoot arrows at the head of the city to cover the attack of the soldiers. With the protection of the archers above Jinglan, the soldiers at the head of the city could not shoot arrows at the bottom of the city without fear.

Following the siege soldiers are several large siege vehicles. Hundreds of soldiers hide under the vehicles and push the huge siege vehicles slowly towards the city gate. The siege vehicle is composed of a huge impact wood and a roof like a house. Under the promotion of the soldiers, the huge impact wood bumps into the city gate and knocks the city gate open. This is the simplest way to attack the city .

It's impossible for the city guards to watch the siege car run into the gate hole and hit the gate, so all kinds of siege methods need to be coordinated.

Soon, the soldiers arrived at the bottom of the city wall, quickly set up a siege ladder, then put it on the crenel of the city wall, and fixed the ladder firmly on the crenel with the iron hook at the tip of the ladder. Then the soldiers under the city were biting the ring head knife, holding the shield in one hand, holding the ladder in the other hand, and climbing towards the city with their hands and feet.

At the same time, the city's taxi soldiers also changed their camp. The archers had retreated from the crenels to the back of the wall, and raised their bows to scatter towards the city's taxi soldiers. As for whether they can shoot people, it depends on their luck.

For those battlements where the siege ladder had not been fixed, several or even dozens of soldiers carried huge long forks and forked the siege ladder. Then they tried their best to push away from the position of the battlements and the city wall, and then directly overthrew them.

For those already fixed siege ladders, the sword and shield soldiers are immediately in front of them to encircle the position of the crenels, while the lance soldiers are behind the sword and shield soldiers to stretch out their long guns from the gap between the shields. Only when the soldiers are above the city, they can control the crenels after several rounds of firing.

At the same time, under the command of the generals of each section of the city wall, the rolling stone and challenge wood, which had been prepared for a long time, was smashed down towards the Sizhou army under the city wall. There were bursts of screams under the city wall, and the unfortunate soldiers were smashed directly on the siege ladder and fell directly under the city from the air several feet high.

Even so, there are still many state sergeants on the top of the city, and then, the city guards began to appear casualties.

Under the command of the general, the garrison at the head of the city surrounded and killed the soldiers of Sizhou who boarded the head of the city. The two soldiers fought to the death at the head of Puyang City.

At the same time, the war on the East and North walls also drew a curtain on development.

Two quarters of an hour later, a siege vehicle finally burst into the city gate cave, and all the soldiers of Sizhou army immediately gave out a loud cheering. However, not long after, a large amount of fire oil was suddenly poured on the city. Then, several torches fell from the sky, and the taxi soldiers in the siege vehicle were burned in flames before they could react.

The shrill scream came from inside, and soon several soldiers burned into a huge fire. They rushed out of the siege vehicle, shouting and rolling back and forth on the ground, hoping to put out the fire. It's a pity that it's not so easy to put out the burning oil. Soon, those people stopped moving.

The other two siege vehicles behind them didn't light up, but they had to stop because the siege vehicles in front of them had blocked up the city gate.

Soon, there was no sound in the burning siege vehicle, and then a large amount of water suddenly fell from the top of the city gate cave, watering out the burning siege vehicle in the city gate cave. It's not that the defenders don't want to, but if the fire burns too far out of the gate, it will cause great damage to the city wall.

So the use of kerosene is only to burn the siege vehicle, not to burn a huge bonfire in the gate hole.

Hundreds of steps away, in the position of the Chinese army, Huangfu Chaobo watched the soldiers of Sizhou fall from the city like dumplings, and he could not help frowning. All along, he is not willing to fight this kind of siege with human life. The loss is too great. If he can capture it, it's OK. If he can't, the loss will be even greater.Unfortunately, the war was not based on his will. For example, in the two wars in Hedong, tens of thousands of people were lost. This time, it is estimated that Puyang City will lose tens of thousands.

More than an hour later, the battle at the head of the city was still in a state of anxiety. There were many soldiers from Sizhou who came to the head of the city, but soon they were killed and scattered by Cao, and then they were driven down from the head of the city. Seeing this, Huang Zhong looked up at the sky again and ordered Mingjin to withdraw.

With the sound of the Chinese army, the relieved soldiers of Sizhou quickly withdrew from the city wall, carrying the siege equipment and supporting the walking zepao under the cover of the shield soldiers. Fortunately, with the cover of Jinglan vehicle, the soldiers in Sizhou were able to successfully evacuate most of the injured soldiers and intact siege equipment.

It was already noon. Seeing that the war was not going well, Huang Zhong ordered the soldiers to withdraw. However, Huang Zhong also saw some clues of the garrison. Although it seems that the garrison will soon drive the attacking soldiers down the city wall, Huang Zhong can see from the cooperation between the garrisons that now the garrisons in the city are only ordinary county soldiers, not even the garrisons of the Sizhou army.

Otherwise, there will not be dozens of soldiers climbing the wall in the first round of attack. However, these were not important. XiahouDun was also a veteran. At the beginning, he would not send out elite troops.
