Chapter 87 Offense and Defense
It can be clearly seen that these Liangshan bandit soldiers have never seen such a big battle before. In just such a round of attack, dozens of soldiers on the Liangshan bandit army were killed by boulders or shot by bed and crossbow arrows. die.

Most of these Liangshan soldiers had a large shield standing in front of them before they died. In their knowledge, as long as the large shield stood in front of them, no one would die.

But now... some were smashed by boulders, and some were pierced by crossbow arrows!The better ones still have a whole corpse left, but the unlucky ones have been smashed into a puddle of meat sauce.

And it wasn't the dead soldiers who hit Liangshan's morale the most, but the people who were hit by boulders and bed and crossbow arrows, especially those who had been with them day and night before.

Their howls are the most damaging to morale - hearing their miserable howls, how can Liangshan Army soldiers who have never been on the real battlefield not be afraid, how can they not be afraid?
Some timid people even ran around like headless flies, and were then killed by flying boulders or shot by bed and crossbow arrows, increasing the casualties of the Liangshan Army!

This is the biggest shortcoming of the Liangshan bandit army at present - the Liangshan bandit army has not been baptized by a real war or even a cruel battle. Now they are more a group of bandits than soldiers.

"Quick, archers, hide behind Chengchou for me, and prepare to counterattack!" Nan Xuanfeng and Yang Zhi shouted here.

Their gates are all made of bluestone, and they can't shoot through the crossbow alone. Hiding behind the city, the crossbow of the officers and soldiers can't threaten them, and they even have a certain defense ability against catapults.

Among all the people present, Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu had the strongest command ability.It's just that they, who have just arrived, obviously won't have much rights.

Among the remaining people, Nan Xuanfeng and Yang Zhi should be the two people in terms of ability.

Nan Xuanfeng was originally a famous general in Yannan Dao, but Yang Zhi was born in the Yang family, and he still had a basic level of art of war.Although the commanding ability of these two people is not that high, they are also of the higher kind in the first-class level.

Among the five generals of Da Cang's officers and soldiers, Zheng Shouchang, the most capable of commanding troops, has been taken away by Chang Yuchun.Among the remaining four people, the one with the strongest commanding ability is the level of Yang Zhi and Nan Xuanfeng.

With the command of Nan Xuanfeng and Yang Zhi, the situation suddenly improved a lot. After these soldiers hid in Chengchozi, few of them suffered any more casualties, but the stone bombs kept bombing. The rumbling sound still frightened the soldiers!
"Quick, the ladder car, put it on me!"

"Where's the broken city car? Push the broken city car over to me too!"

Seeing that the bandits were hiding behind the city, Xu Beimiao didn't dare to show their faces, and immediately wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to start a battle in the city.

After listening to Xu Beimiao's order, the soldiers divided into groups of soldiers and pushed forward ladder trucks and city-breaking trucks.

Ancient cloud ladders, some types have wheels under them, which can be pushed and driven, so they are also called "cloud ladder cars". They are equipped with shields, winches, grappling hooks and other equipment. Some of the more advanced ones even have pulleys to lift and lower. equipment.

Therefore, the cloud ladder is actually not a simple thing, much less like a TV series, it is just some bamboo ladders that can be pushed down with a push rod on the city wall.

When the grappling hook at the top of the ladder car is fixed to the city wall, it is not possible to push it down by manpower at all.

The best way to deal with a ladder truck is to attack it with fire, but it takes a while to really burn down a ladder truck.Basically, most of the ladder trucks used for siege have taken some simple fire prevention measures.

"No, archer, fire arrows, fire rockets!"

"Rolling wood and thunder stones, prepare for me. As long as the enemy approaches the city wall, they will smash me down!" Yang Zhi commanded the surrounding younger brothers forcefully.

"Chong, charge me forward!" Xu Beimiao personally put on a shield and rushed to the front.

Although under the constant bows and arrows projected from the wall, soldiers continued to mourn halfway down the road, but in this cruel siege battle, such sacrifices are indispensable.

If you can't even hold such a small casualty, why not talk about siege?

"Ding, Huarong's flying shooting skill is activated, force value +3, generals +2, basic force 94, wandering bow +1, the current force rises to 100."

The sharp-eyed Hua Rong saw Xu Beimiao who was commanding the soldiers under the wall at a glance, and flew an arrow towards Xu Beimiao.

It's just that Xu Beimiao, who had already seen the opponent's archery for a long time, was already vigilant, and he raised his shield and knocked this arrow into the air.

Hua Rong's arrows can only be said to be accurate, but their destructive power is somewhat uneven. He has not yet reached the level of shooting through a shield.Those really powerful archers not only have the ability to hit a hundred shots, but also have the ability to shoot stones and pierce iron.

If the one who shot the arrow today was not Hua Rong, but Hou Yi, who was summoned by Wang Yu, but the one from the Dragon Tiger Billboard, or the one from the Quartet Group of Demons, their arrows would be enough. Not this shield can block it!
"Come here, dispatch another [-] crossbowmen, and hold them down!" The Fourth Prince looked at the officers and soldiers of Da Cang who were wailing and fell to the ground, and gave an expressionless order.

At this moment, the throwing cart has stopped firing, and only the bed crossbow is still pouring firepower!The officers and soldiers have already deployed to climb the city wall. At this time, if they continue to use the catapult to see through, they will not only deal a blow to the enemy, but also have a great possibility of accidentally hurting their own people.

Following the order of the fourth prince, Huangfu Ming, another [-] crossbowmen rushed up, and then pressed the Liangshan bandit army with the previous bowmen and crossbow!
The training time required for a qualified archer is not short, especially for archers.In Liangshan, bows and arrows are obviously the main ones, and high-level things like bows and crossbows are only a small part.

Therefore, in terms of firepower output, it is indeed a disadvantage of Liangshan Army. Even if they are condescending, they cannot suppress the bowmen of the Da Cang Official Army!
Two Liangshan archers were shot by arrows because their heads were raised too high, and they fell to the ground!

Seeing this, the Liangshan bandit soldiers just mentioned a little bit of courage, can't help but let out a part!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the siege team continued to advance rapidly!
It can be seen that the people in Liangshan are still bandits after all, and there is still a big gap between them and the well-trained regular army.
