Gao Xu panted violently, recovering his strength while catching up on the enemy's attack. The air entering his lungs seemed to be filled with flames, causing waves of burning pain. It was already past noon, and the Huzhou soldiers' offensive was like waves. One wave after another, it seems that there will never be an end. The guards at the top of the city have changed five times. Under the fire of ballistas on the earth hill, this section of the city wall is like a running meat grinder, quickly devouring flesh and blood And life, but himself, it seems that the previous prayers to the ancestors and gods have worked, except for a few scratches.

With the rhythmic sound of war drums, another formation of Huzhou soldiers moved forward. Gao Xu tried his best to stand up and was about to order the defenders who were resting in the city to go up the city, but suddenly there was a shaking under his feet. Then a section of the city wall more than ten feet away on the left collapsed suddenly as if shaken by the drums of Huzhou soldiers.Gao Xu was stunned by this huge change, and he was awakened by the thunderous shouts of nearly ten thousand Huzhou soldiers outside the city. Finally, a wide gap of about six or seven feet appeared. The city wall that fell on the ground had been broken into countless small pieces, roughly forming a slope of about [-] degrees. The attacking army could easily enter through this gap. In the city.

"Quickly, move the boiling oil and lead juice to the gap." Gao Xu ordered. He couldn't understand why the good city wall collapsed for a while, but it was obvious that this place would become the focus of Huzhou soldiers' attack.Almost at the same time, the ballistas on the dirt hill also began to concentrate their firepower on both sides of the gap. After the first six or seven rounds deviated greatly, the latter shots became more and more accurate. Under the storm composed of stone bullets and short spears, However, it was impossible for the defenders to complete the general's order, so Gao Xu had to order the defenders to retreat behind the second trench and earth barrier that had been built in advance.

Qu Zhiheng woke up, when the city wall collapsed just now, he happened to be on the right side of the gap, a stone hit him to the ground, and he passed out.He took off the leather helmet on top of his head, and felt a tingling pain. When he touched it with his hand, the blood that flowed out had glued the hair on the back of his head into a big piece. It seemed that the leather helmet and hair protected him. He vomited happily. He took a breath, and suddenly there was a rhythmic whistle from under the gap in the front city wall. He climbed over cautiously, looked down, and saw the Huzhou soldiers of the brigade passing through the gap, they were lined up in a ten by ten square In the formation, the people on the outside used huge shields to protect the front and sides, while the people in the middle put the shields on their heads, and moved slowly with the sound of Du Chang's whistle, like a huge turtle.Arrows rained down from the guards on the earth barrier, but they did little damage to them. Occasionally, stones thrown from the wall on the other side also rolled down from the shield.Seeing that the first phalanx was about to pass through that gap.

Qu Zhiheng looked left and right, wanting to find something like boiling oil, but there were swords and broken spears all around except stones the size of his head. Without any hesitation, his eyes stayed on the stones next to the gap, only Seeing that a third of it was suspended in the air, Qu Zhiheng picked up a spear and rushed towards the stone like a tiger.

Niu Zhijie stood proudly at the bottom of the city, watching the hundred people pass through the gap, and beside him, groups of soldiers were climbing up to the top of the city via ladders, and the scattered arrows from the top of the city could no longer stop their progress At this moment, he suddenly saw the mouth of the soldier beside him, and his right hand pointed straight up to the gap.Niu Zhijie looked in the direction of the soldiers' fingers, and saw a Zhenhai soldier trying his best to pry stones on the wall on the right side of the gap. Right below him, a hundred people were passing in a formation.

"Quickly release the arrows." Niu Zhijie pointed at Qu Zhiheng and shouted loudly, without his order, the soldiers on the side had already bent their bows and aimed at the man, but it was too late, almost hitting Qu Zhiheng with more than ten arrows At the same time as Zhiheng, the stone also fell from the city wall.Niu Zhijie hugged in despair
