When Jiang Gandang arrived at the city, the war had already begun.
The soldiers who were patrolling and standing guard called the soldiers in the barracks. Now there are more and more soldiers in the city.
The wall is stable.
"Whoosh whoosh!!!" The defenders' archers kept drawing out arrows, bending their bows and nocking arrows, reaching out of the city wall and shooting arrows.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Under the city. Wu Nianjun's soldiers screamed repeatedly. The soldiers who were hit by arrows and those who were shot in their armor only felt a pain in their bodies and it went away after gritting their teeth.
But those soldiers wearing battle coats, or even without battle coats, were deadly enough.
A soldier from the militia was shot in the left shoulder. His clothes were immediately stained with blood, his face turned pale with pain, and sweat dripped down his face.
"Touch" he sat down on the ground, unable to move for a while.
"Whoosh!" Another arrow came towards him. The soldier's hair stood on end instinctively, but he could do nothing. He watched helplessly as the arrow hit his neck.
He opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes upwards, leaned back, and fell to the ground motionless.
To the battlefield, this soldier is no more than the first grain of sand in the sand. Very inconspicuous.
"kill!!!"
Wu Nianjun's soldiers, after yesterday's fighting and last night's attack, were at the end of their strength, but they still roared to kill with all their strength, held on, and braved the attack of arrows to reach the edge of the city wall.
"Bang bang bang!!!" Simple ladders were leaned against the city wall. Three or four of the soldiers were holding him down below, while a swordsman climbed up using his hands and feet.
For the defenders, the ladder truck cannot be pushed. But this simple ladder is too simple.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." A strong defender shouted and pushed the ladder down with all his strength. The swordsman who climbed the ladder landed on his back like a cloud and mist. After struggling for a while, he stared at the sky with his eyes open.
The three soldiers holding down the ladder below also lost their minds for a while.
Without heavy siege equipment, it would be really miserable.
Such a siege, such a siege.
To put it mildly, it’s really a death wish.
"Up!!!!" An armored soldier gritted his teeth and roared. Together with his companions, he lifted the ladder amidst the rain of arrows and leaned against the city wall again. Then he climbed up using his hands and feet.
A "touch" sound!
The ladder was overturned again, and the armored soldier fell to the ground. He opened his mouth and spat out mouthfuls of blood, exhaling too much air but not taking in enough air.
Jiang Gandang stood on the city wall and watched this scene. He laughed loudly and said: "You want to conquer a city without heavy siege equipment? I'm afraid General Wanhu can't do it. Wu Nian, are you crazy?"
"Brothers, this is Beishan Fort Wu Nian. It is known as the Tiger of Liaodong. We are on this city, stop them. I can intimidate Liaodong."
"I will not treat you badly even if my reputation is great. After the war, I will reward you according to your merits. I will use my family wealth to reward you."
Jiang Gandang held a long-handled sword upright in one hand and put his other hand on his waist, shouting.
"Kill!!!!" Upon hearing this, all the tens of thousands of Han soldiers in the city were in high spirits, and their morale was rising steadily.
Archers can bend their bows and shoot arrows faster.
The strongmen pushed the ladder with more vigor. They also laughed when they looked at the soldiers dancing in the air because the ladder was pushed down.
Some of these soldiers used to be bodyguards who followed Jiang Gan as escorts. Jiang Gandang was very generous and forthright in his normal life.
If you say reward, then reward.
He didn't say that they ate big chunks of meat and gulped down alcohol, but it was a fact that they all grew fat, strong and shiny.
The morale of the troops was high.
Although Wu Nian was unexpected and created an opportunity, he also bit a hard nut.
"Hey!!!" A veteran sat on the ground, looking at his robes and seeing how easily these men who were fighting against the Meng Yuan people were killed. He couldn't help clenching his right hand and pounding the ground.
But sighing is a sigh, you still have to go. The veteran gritted his teeth and stood up, with a livid face and shouted: "Come on."
Wu Nianjun's soldiers really came forward. Not afraid of death, he gritted his teeth. Immediately, a famous soldier fell from the ladder like a trapeze artist.
Their siege was as childish as a child's game.
The only ones who can compete with each other are archers. Each archer knelt on the ground, reduced his area, approached the city wall, and fired arrows at the city.
This caused some damage to the defenders on the city.
But these archers wore no armor and no shields. Facing the arrows falling from the city, they all screamed and fell to the ground.
Half of the siege.
The casualties of the attacking side were twice those of the defending side.
Their casualties were four or five times higher.
But there is no way.
The general is watching, can he still retreat?
Besides, without food, it would be impossible to survive even if we retreat.
A soldier named Wu Nianjun gritted his teeth and held on for a breath. He came to the city one after another and died like a moth rushing to the flame.
Wu Nian stood tall and had no expression on his face. But he raised his right hand, put his index finger in his mouth, bit his index finger, and began to bleed.
He raised his head and stared at the "ginger" flag flying on the city. Damn bastards, each one of the Mengyuan people is more cowardly than the last.
The Han people were beaten more violently than each other.
Guangzong Yaozu.
Wu Nian's heart was bleeding, but he didn't flinch. After seeing that the casualties were almost there, he waved his right hand and ordered: "Divide into 100 people, go ahead."
"yes."
The soldiers in the thousand-man team at the rear responded without hesitation, and about a hundred people raised their weapons, made moths, and rushed towards the city wall.
"Divide another 100 people. Go up." When the casualties in front were almost complete, Wu Nian waved his hand again and gave the order.
"Yes." Another hundred soldiers responded loudly and stepped into the battlefield without hesitation.
As time passed, there were more and more corpses under the city wall, and there were more and more corpses on the city wall.
Even if the casualty ratio is small, it is impossible for the defenders to suffer casualties.
When Wu Nian dispatched three hundred-man troops to make up for it. The defenses on the city were finally no longer so tight.
But even so. His army's offensive has also weakened. The soldiers were too tired, their hands and feet were weak.
If no one stepped forward, Wu Nian might not be able to capture the city all day long.
Everything was over.
And Wu Nian has been waiting for this opportunity.
He reached back with his right hand, pulled out the huge red war bow behind the horse, put the quiver on it, turned over and dismounted, and shouted: "Everyone, follow me up."
With that said, Wu Nian strode towards the city wall.
Just die.
I will climb the city wall myself.
If you win, you can go to the city first. If you die, there will be nothing left to say.
