Chapter 173 The battle of the meat grinder!
"How is this possible?"

"Fire the arrow quickly, quickly!!"

Yuan Shu screamed desperately, but tens of thousands of people on and off the city wall were defenseless, especially the archers. They didn't even stand in a good position. How could they attack?

Seeing the city wall becoming more and more chaotic, a bad feeling lingered in Yuan Shu's heart.

Zhang Xun and Yan Xiang had already arrived at the city wall after hearing the soldiers' warning.

Seeing tens of thousands of troops approaching the city wall in one fell swoop, I felt a chill in my heart.

Without thinking too much, the two of them pulled out the swords from their waists and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the Lord is behind us, we have no way out."

"If you want to save your life, you can only move forward bravely."

"Wood rollers, stone rollers, throw them quickly to stop the first wave of enemies coming up, don't save anything!"

"quick!!"

The two of them gave orders while approaching the crenellations of the city wall.

The archers retreated one after another, and the soldiers holding rolling logs and rolling stones rushed towards the city.

But although their reaction speed was not slow, the soldiers attacking outside the city were faster.

Although the boulders and rolling logs smashed down many charging soldiers, there were still countless soldiers charging towards the city wall while taking advantage of the gap.

"kill!!"

A Xuzhou soldier had just jumped from the ladder to the city wall. Before he could stand firm, a spear was stabbed at him.

"what!!"

Screams sounded.

A flash of excitement flashed in the guard's eyes, and he was about to draw the tip of his gun.

The Xuzhou soldier who was stabbed clenched his teeth, shouted "Ah", and slashed directly at the defender with the big knife in his hand.

How could the guards have imagined that the Xuzhou soldiers who had been shot were so brave.

In such a hurry, there was no time to escape, and I only felt a cold light flash across my neck.

Blood spurted out from his neck.

For a moment, his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground with a face full of reluctance.

"Brothers, come up quickly, I'll hold you up!"

"Who is not afraid of death?"

"come!!"

The Xuzhou soldier raised a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. In conjunction with the ferocity with which he had just killed a guard, the surrounding guards were stunned for a moment.

Several more Xuzhou soldiers rushed up from the ladder. Only then did the rest of the guards wake up and rushed forward one by one with gritted teeth.

The fight begins.

But as soon as they fought, these defenders discovered the ferocity and bravery of the attacking soldiers.

In addition to their strength and high combat literacy, their lack of fear of death impacted the hearts of the guards.

It was clear that they were in a desperate situation and only one person was left, but they still launched a charge without fear of death. Even if they fell, they still tried their best to buy time.

In just a quarter of an hour, Xuzhou soldiers appeared in five or six places on the city wall.

This was of course because the soldiers in the first wave of attacks were elites carefully selected by Lin Fan, and their combat effectiveness was astonishing.

But more importantly, all the captains who had broken the city wall had gathered around Yuan Shu, leaving the city leaderless for a period of time.

Otherwise, even if the city wall can be broken, there will not be such a big result within a quarter of an hour.

Outside the city, Yuwen Chengdu, Yue Fei, and Zhao Yun naturally didn't know what was going on on the city wall.

Seeing that several gaps were opened in just a quarter of an hour, the three of them felt itchy in their hearts.

"My lord, the last will fight!"

"Yuan Jun is far behind us in terms of energy and combat effectiveness."

"As long as we stand firm with our own soldiers, the city wall will be breached."

Yuwen Chengdu's eyes were full of high-spirited fighting spirit.

Zhao Yun also cupped his fists and saluted: "Please allow me to go to the battlefield, my lord."

"It's rare to have a chance to crack a hard nut. Now my lord is worry-free, and my subordinates want to make more meritorious deeds."

Yue Fei didn't want to attack the city personally. After all, in his eyes, going to the battlefield personally was just the courage of an ordinary man.

Nowadays, siege is not a field battle, and the role of leading by example is not as great as imagined.It can be seen that both of them asked for a fight, and spoke the same way without any hesitation.

Lin Fan looked at the battle situation on the city wall. There were almost no wood rollers and stone rollers throwing things below, which meant that the pressure from the attacking soldiers was enough.

Although it is still dangerous to climb the ladder and fight on the city wall in person, the soldiers are not afraid of death.

Although Lin Fan was reluctant to risk the three famous generals, he still nodded: "Pay attention to safety."

"The soldiers will go first, and you will follow."

"Don't stumble in front of Shouchun City, which is about to be destroyed."

Yuwen Chengdu, Zhao Yun, and Yue Fei all showed excitement in their eyes, clasped their fists in a salute, and turned to leave.

The brutal fighting continued. Every minute and every second, soldiers from both sides fell to the ground, and the tiles on the city wall were stained red with blood.

But even so, more and more Xuzhou soldiers came from the city.

When one falls, a second one quickly takes over.

Zhang Xun, who was covered in blood, finally realized something was wrong.

"Brother Yan, Lin Fan wants to break the city today!"

"The intensity and continuity of this offense is different from before."

"If this continues, we will definitely not be able to hold on."

"Their combat capabilities are much higher than ours."

"Let the lord go into battle in person immediately. Only in this way can we defend the city wall."

"There is no other way."

After Yan Xiang hesitated briefly, he looked at more and more Xuzhou soldiers on the city wall, gritted his teeth and headed towards the city tower.

Seeing Yuan Shu soon, Yan Xiang ignored the salute and said impatiently: "My lord, please go to the battlefield in person. Lin Fan will attack with all his strength this time. The soldiers on the city wall are now in a hurry, like a pile of scattered sand."

"Only you can turn the tide."

Yuan Shu looked at the soldiers from both sides fighting on the city wall with a gloomy expression on his face: "Isn't it true that I'm on the battlefield when I'm at the city tower?"

"If I have to die in the hands of the enemy, then it can be regarded as fighting alongside you?"

"Send an order to the entire army not to retreat even one step."

"I am with you."

"Shuai Qi is here, I am here, don't be afraid, I will never run away first."

After speaking, he told the more than a hundred soldiers in front of him: "Shout loudly to me, so that the soldiers don't be afraid."

"They will live and die with the city wall. I, Yuan Shu, am not a person who is afraid of death. I am also willing to live and die with the city."

Hundreds of soldiers dispersed and shouted out what Yuan Shu had just said.

The guards, who were originally in despair and had no fighting spirit, gained some confidence.

The fighting continued.

On the tower, after Yan Xiang left, Yuan Yao took two steps forward and said anxiously: "Father, do we really want to be here?"

"A few soldiers from Xuzhou came to kill them just now. If the soldiers were not brave enough, they might all come to you."

"It's too dangerous here."

Yuan Shu said with a straight face: "Stop talking nonsense."

"The fighting on the city wall is raging. If you say retreat lightly, it will disturb the morale of our army and kill without mercy."

"You are my son, otherwise."

Yuan Yao shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything.

When some of the surrounding soldiers saw this, their eyes became less uneasy.

After a while, Yuan Shu called Yuan Yao to him and lowered his voice: "Follow me later."

"Don't do anything without permission."

"Otherwise, if there is an accident, I'm afraid even my father won't be able to protect you."

Yuan Yao was stunned: "What does father mean?"

"Don't say more. Looking at the battle situation and pressing all the logistical forces under the city, I don't believe that 8 people can't defend it.
Shouchun City. "
