Chapter 233 The Fierce Attack and Defense
"Hold on! Hold on!"

"This way! Yan soldiers are coming to the city—"

Soldiers brandished blades and spears, pushed down logs and stones, archers shot arrows, or fell to the ground after being struck by arrows. All kinds of scenes filled the walls of Xuanchun Gate in Luyang.

Hysterical shouts resounded. Long Jin slashed with a knife, but the Xiliang soldier dodged it. The bodyguard next to him rushed to block the opponent's backhand knife for him.

Blood spattered in his eyes, and his vision became blurry. He was then dragged away from the wall by another guard. The Yan soldiers who climbed up the wall were so brave that it was fearsome. The dancing sword light killed the two Wei soldiers guarding the city. The soldiers continued to retreat, and the spear array came and impaled him and pushed him down the city wall.

"Fill the gap and don't give room for Yan soldiers to come up!"

Long Jin wiped the blood from his face, rushed back to the wall, and called to the soldiers beside him to work together to push down the ladder, "Let's work hard together!"

The ladder tilted up toward the outside of the city. Due to the plugging of the ends, it stopped halfway. The Xiliang soldiers below the cloud cart pushed again, and the ladder fell back toward the wall stack again. The Xiliang soldiers climbing above held their knives in their hands and continued to go crazy. Climb the city.

At a moment close to the moment, Long Jin took the spear and stabbed it downwards. The Xiliang soldier turned sideways to avoid the sharp spearhead. He took the repeating crossbow from his waist with his backhand, clasped his feet on the wooden steps and leaned back. He didn't know how long he had been practicing. With his movements, he skillfully fired towards the top of the city, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows poured forward in an instant.

"Ahhh-"

Long Jin covered his bleeding side face and was pulled out from behind by his guards. The group of soldiers surrounding the wall were all hit by crossbows and fell to the ground. In an instant, the Xiliang soldier stood on the wall and threw himself down on the city wall!

"Stop!"

"Pass my command to the general and send two more teams forward!"

Half of Long Jin's face was covered in blood. He pulled the trembling bodyguard next to him and screamed. He passed the order to the stunned bodyguard. He held the sword and led a dozen bodyguards to kill there again.

On the right side of the city that stretches for seven miles, the Xiliang army of the Yan Kingdom continues to climb the city wall, all the ladders are being set up, and the ten-foot-long giant siege tower in the distance is slowly approaching.

He widened his eyes and kept roaring, asking the archers to shoot arrows at the living slaves under the giant tower.Then, there was only a loud bang on the other side of the city tower. He turned his head. Two or three hundred feet away, soldiers on the other side of the city tower braved the arrows flying from the city, carrying boiling gold juice and threw themselves down the city tower. A series of sounds were heard. Scream.

However, the roaring sound of the crash did not stop. The charging car was protected by soldiers holding shields, and the battering ram was swung back and forth by the strong man. Then it slammed into the thick city gate, shaking countless dust. whereabouts.

Someone shot arrows and rockets from the city tower, and some rocks and logs were thrown down from the top. Zhang Fei deflected the stone with a shield and cursed towards the top of the city: "You guys, you haven't eaten!"

Immediately, he turned around and threw away the slave who was pushing the hammer. He inserted the snake spear into the ground and joined forces with the other slaves to push the hammer with one hand. There was a loud bang.

The city gate shook, and the terrifying impact force shook the Wei soldiers behind the gate backwards. More Wei soldiers swarmed over, crowding each other and pressing against the city gate.

Fang Yan, the general guarding the city tower, heard the movement below and his eyelids jumped. He called the messenger: "Let the civilians carry the heavy wood and stone up. Hurry!! There is also kerosene, and then send people here!"

"General, we don't have enough manpower... The brothers in the second town have all supported the left wall section in advance. The Yan soldiers on General Jiang's side are too aggressive!"

Fang Yan pressed the end of his sword and rushed to the wall stack. He glanced towards the outside of the city. He saw that the soldiers and horses of another banner of the Yan army were almost standing on the top of the wall. The giant siege tower over there was no longer fifty feet away from the city wall.

Arrows roared towards him. He hurriedly ducked down to avoid an incoming arrow. He looked towards the direction where the arrow was coming. He saw a Yan general with a golden crown and long hair riding a red horse. He immediately took his long bow and buckled it. The string is an arrow shot back.

Howling!
Lu Bu reined in his horse and raised his hand to catch the flying arrows. He caught and broke the flying arrows. He once again loaded the bow with arrows in his hand. This time, three arrows filled the string.

"General Wei, today we will destroy your country Zuo!"

shhhhhh...

The arrow flew to the top of the city. Fang Yan reacted quickly, and his iron helmet was also shot into the air. A personal guard and a messenger beside him were pierced through the chest by the arrow, and they were nailed to the wall of the city tower behind them with all their strength.Lu Bu's cloak fluttered, and he laughed wildly when he saw the Wei generals on the tower escaping in confusion. He led the wolf cavalry to continue to wander near the tower, suppressing the Wei soldiers on the tower.

He shouted: "Zhang Yide, where was your fighting spirit with a certain family in the past?"

"The slaves of the third surname have two hairs stuck in their heads to look like garlic!" Zhang Fei turned around and cursed, raised the shield with one hand, pushed the battering ram with the other, and shouted at the slaves around him to use their strength again!
Outside the stretching city wall, a group of 1 Yan troops climbed up the city wall crazily, fighting hysterically and skillfully. The first wave of offensive was so terrifying that the Wei soldiers on the city wall felt frightened.

In addition, the three cavalrymen below rushed to the city, and the arrows they fired also put a lot of pressure on the Wei soldiers guarding the city.

Even so, the Wei soldiers still gritted their teeth and refused to give in. Once the Yan soldiers stood on the top of the city, they pushed wildly, often repelling or killing a Yan soldier, and they had to pay the price of four to five people. This was a life-and-death battle. The most obvious difference between veterans who have fought a few battles and new recruits.

But facing three different Yan State soldiers and horses, especially the Xiliang and Qingzhou troops who climbed the city wall, the attack was so crazy that the captain and Sima who led the team were not only rich in experience, but also selected from among thousands of people. of hundreds of generals.

Not only did he command the squad to fight, he was also extremely fierce himself. For the Qingzhou soldiers, Fang Tianling, the former chief arrester of Chendu County, is now a captain in the army. He led the surrendered Wei soldiers to fight more bravely than other Qingzhou soldiers. Once a hole was opened, relying on his former martial arts skills and cooperating with the soldiers around him, he crazily advanced toward the tower.

The distance between the walls was eight feet, and they fought back and forth four or five times. The Wei soldiers who came up killed more than a hundred people.There are more than ten competing points like this section on the left wall section.

Not long after an hour passed, Fang Tianling suffered several wounds, and his hands were so smooth with blood that he could hardly hold the handle of the knife. He led thirty Qingzhou Army soldiers to stay firmly rooted, formed three small formations, and rushed around. The defenders were defeated and retreated, firmly guarding the ladder behind them.

"Kill over and join up with the comrades at the other ladder climbing wall point, and join together!"

He leaned against the wall behind him and gave loud orders. A Qingzhou soldier next to him stopped the bleeding and bandaged him. Amidst the arrows flying around, the Qingzhou soldiers who received the order moved their array and moved closer to the nearest team that climbed onto the city wall. There were people constantly The soldier who fell under the Wei army's gun array and was rushed to replace him was dragged to the back and lay next to Fang Tianling. The soldier who dragged him then rushed forward with a knife in his hand and continued to advance with a roar of "Ah!"

The moment the soldiers of Yan State stood firm on the wall, the gate tower guard Fang Yan heard the news and immediately asked the waiting soldiers of the Second Town inside the city wall to go up to the city wall. He also immediately issued an order for the government office to mobilize young and strong people to go up to the city wall to help the defenders kill the enemy.

This tactic is very common in city defense battles, and no one says anything about it.

As the support from the first town soldiers and horses waiting below the city arrived to fill the gap opened by the killings, however, they were not adapted to such a high-intensity attack. Compared with the fighting consciousness of Yan soldiers on the battlefield, there was a huge difference. As soon as they made contact, the more than 2000 soldiers who reinforced the left and right wall sections suffered more than [-] casualties in less than two quarters of an hour.

Most of them were shot by arrows flying from the city or hit by stone bullets thrown, and died on the way to support. Some of them squeezed into gaps and were blocked by the dense array. Instead, they could not swing their weapons and were killed by the brave Yan soldiers. Kill.

For a time, on the entire section of the north gate wall, Wei soldiers and young men were like ants swarming up and down the stone steps inside the city wall. The section of the city wall was packed with black people and pushed towards the small array of Yan soldiers climbing up.

During this time, the stone bullets still did not stop, but the angle was adjusted. Most of the stone bullets aimed at the wall stacks and stone steps on the inner city wall.

Soldiers and young men carrying heavy logs or stones were often knocked to the ground by flying stone bullets as soon as they climbed onto the city wall. However, no one dared to retreat. The law enforcement soldiers always stood on one side of the stone steps, staring at them. Watching their every move.

However, the young men recruited were not timid, and even felt more courageous than the fighting defenders on the city. Before they came up, the officials of the government had already publicized in the city that the Yan army might massacre the city when they entered the city, and they could only defend the city wall. Only by repelling Yan's troops can we protect our family.

In fact, the vast majority of people do not want to subjugate their country.

The rolling logs and stones carried up the city wall were then thrown down from the city wall like raindrops. The kerosene and gold juice carried were poured down. The rockets were ignited in the hands of the archers. Before they could be fired, they were hit by arrows flying from the city. , the burning arrow fell on the missing kerosene on the ground, and a fire broke out.

The stretching city wall was burning with fire, and the black smoke rushed into the sky like a black dragon. The Wei soldiers wielding spears rushed forward, and then were hit in the head by flying stones, spurting out blood and falling down, while the young and enthusiastic man carrying things picked up the things. He picked up his spear and continued to charge forward. Fierce and turbulent shouts and sounds of fighting spread throughout the city wall.

However, at this time, the two huge siege towers finally got close to the city wall, and the thick and wide city boarding fell with a banging sound and was set up on the top of the wall.

A series of more ferocious Xiliang and Qingzhou soldiers were revealed crouching in the tower. Le Jin and Li Jue kicked their feet, holding their own weapons, and rushed towards the city head first.

A more brutal war is coming!
