Take charge of Ascension

Chapter 351 The corpse is everywhere
After waiting for three days, Marquis Mighty thought that the time was ripe, and immediately raised his troops to attack Guangyang County. One hundred thousand troops from Shu Kingdom rushed to Guangyang County one after another.

The siege engine and the siege ladder were used together. Under the order of the mighty Marquis, the army of the Shu Kingdom violently charged towards Guangyang County as if they were desperate.

The boulder thrown by the siege engine hit the city wall of Guangyang County, leaving traces and holes on it.

The huge boulder rolled on the city wall, and rolled out with a "drip". Many soldiers on the Taiping Road were pressed by the boulder, leaving a bloodstain on the city wall.

The army of Shu attacked the city fiercely, causing a lot of casualties to the Taipingdao side. However, the soldiers of Taipingdao were not vegetarian, and fought back violently.

Liu Xiao was good at commanding the defense of the city, so that [-] soldiers were evenly distributed on the city wall, with hundreds of soldiers stationed at intervals.

The siege ladders of the army of the Kingdom of Shu climbed on the city wall one by one, and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Shu climbed towards the top of the city, but it was not so easy.

The soldiers of Taipingdao worked together to push many siege ladders. When the siege ladders left the wall, they fell outwards, screaming loudly, and the sound shook the sky.

Many of the soldiers who pushed the siege ladder were flattened by the boulders thrown by the siege vehicles, which made many Taipingdao soldiers timid for a while.

At this time, the trebuchet on the top of the city also exerted force, and under the control of a soldier, amidst a burst of "clicking" sounds, huge boulders rose into the air and fell down.

The huge boulder, which was much larger than a human head, was thrown over a height of ten or twenty feet under the power of the trebuchet, and smashed into the army of the Shu Kingdom, killing many people immediately.

Then, like a bouncing ball, the huge boulder rolled forward, and unexpectedly blazed a path among the Shu army, crushing many people to death.

Above and below the city, the siege engines and trebuchets fired at each other, and the fight was inseparable. Generally speaking, the death of the Shu army under the city was relatively large, and there was not much room for them to escape when the huge stone was thrown from the top of the city. .

However, the huge stones thrown up by the siege vehicles below the city were blocked by the city wall. The Taipingdao soldiers hid behind the city wall. Although there would be casualties, the casualties would be much smaller after all.

Although the catapults on the city wall were very powerful and dropped waves of boulders, the furious attack of the Shu army did not weaken at all.

Even though the siege ladders were pushed away one by one, they did not intimidate the soldiers of the Shu Kingdom, let alone the mighty Marquis. The soldiers who climbed the city wall were still going forward.

In the midst of the fierce battle, finally, some soldiers from the Shu Kingdom began to climb to the top of the city. Not far from Zhao Ji, a soldier from the Kingdom of Shu rushed up through a siege ladder.

Not daring to be negligent, Zhao Ji ran over quickly, stabbing out the simple long sword in his hand, like a spirit snake spitting out a letter, pointing to the sword light, and stabbing at the soldier of the Shu Kingdom.

That soldier was just an ordinary soldier of the Shu Kingdom, a martial artist in the Houtian realm, and compared with Zhao Ji, his strength was really much worse.

A sword stabbed out, the sharp sword, the Shu soldier could not stop it at all, the sword pierced his throat, and immediately, the light in the man's eyes gradually dimmed, and he fell backwards.

The dead person fell from a height of nearly twenty feet, and with a "slap", he fell into a puddle of flesh, not even a whole body.

This kind of situation happened everywhere on the long section of the city wall. Although many people climbed up through the siege ladder, they couldn't stand firm under the blows of many masters on the top of the city.

The siege battle lasted all morning before it stopped. There were many casualties on both sides. Three to 4000 people died in the Shu army, and there were nearly 2000 casualties on the Taiping Road side.

In the battle of defending the city, the casualties on the side of defending the city and attacking the city should not have been so high. However, the soldiers of Taipingdao were still a bit inferior. They were not as elite as the army of the Kingdom of Shu. That's why there were so many casualties.

Although Zhao Ji felt that the casualty rate was too high, Liu Xiao and Luo Ji felt that it was not bad. If the battle continued like this, Guangyang County would not be broken.

In the afternoon, Marquis Mighty launched another fierce siege battle. This time, the siege engines and siege ladders were still attacking alternately, very similar to the pattern in the morning.

The time for the battle in the afternoon was a little shorter than in the morning. In the evening, when the sunset was about to fall, the mighty Marquis received the attacking army.

The casualties in the afternoon were still not small. There were at least nearly 3000 casualties on the Shu side, and there were probably more than 1000 soldiers on Taiping Road.

However, Zhao Ji saw the progress of Taipingdao's army. During the battle in the morning, Taipingdao's soldiers were often at a loss, and even panicked for a while.However, in the afternoon, the situation immediately became much better. Even though the roaring boulders fell by their ears, many soldiers could take it lightly.

When the mighty Hou Mingjin withdrew his troops and led the army of Shu to retreat, and went back to bury pots and cook food, the soldiers of Taipingdao also went down the city wall one after another and returned to their respective barracks.

The army commanding the discipline battalion retreated, Zhao Ji looked at the corpses all over the city wall, and smelled blood in his nose, which made him frown slightly.

The soldiers who stayed behind to clean up the battlefield threw corpses from the top of the city, whether they were from the enemy or their own.

From Zhao Ji's point of view, in fact, he can't see this kind of practice. As a representative of modern soldiers, he has great respect for soldiers who died in battle. This kind of situation of throwing corpses makes him uncomfortable.

However, Zhao Ji also knew that in ancient times, once a war was launched, there might be times when the plague would be rampant, so in order to prevent the plague, he had to do this.

"Wang Jiu, let's go."

After calling Wang Jiu, Zhao Ji went forward.

Wang Jiu hurried two steps forward, caught up with Zhao Ji, looked at Zhao Ji's slightly frowning brows, and asked, "Brother Zhao, are you not used to this kind of situation, but as long as you see it a lot, you will get used to it." gone."

"I know."

Zhao Ji nodded and said lightly.

For blood and fire, Zhao Ji will not feel any discomfort. Although he has never encountered such a situation of corpses strewn all over the field before, after he came to the heaven, he gradually got used to it, without any discomfort.

Rolling his eyes, Zhao Ji said again: "Wang Jiu, have you arranged for the things I ordered?"

Wang Jiu hurriedly said: "It has been arranged, and three hundred brothers are left to watch on the city wall. But, can you really be sure that tonight, the Shu army will come to attack the city again?"

Keeping walking, Zhao Ji said calmly, "I'm not sure, but war is like this, as long as there is even a chance, you can't ignore it."
