The four-nation coalition forces totaled 400,000 people, and this number alone was already overwhelming for everyone.
The footsteps under the city head were like thunder, but fortunately, there were towering mountains on both sides of Jinsuoguan Pass.
Moreover, the two peaks outside Jinsuo Pass are so visible that it is almost impossible to climb them.
Jinsuoguan is located between two mountains. The terrain is very dangerous. In a short period of time, they only need to worry about the enemies in front of them. As for other directions, they don't need to worry too much!
"People in the city, listen, the four princes have their fate. If you open the city and surrender, you will be considered a great achievement this time. You will be promoted to the third level and will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold! If you are stubborn, I will call you after the city is broken. Shattered into thousands of pieces!"
Seeing that everything was ready, the city suddenly became quiet, and then two soldiers with loud voices shouted loudly.
"Come here, shoot them both on the spot!"
Luo Chenglong curled his lips disdainfully, and then directly ordered someone to shoot him on the spot.
Immediately, soldiers from the city aimed directly at the two reckless guys. A hail of arrows rained down, turning them into hedgehogs...
"Ignorant! Attack!"
Seeing that the Han army on the city was in dire straits, Jiaoxi King Liu Xian waved his hand angrily, and a troop of ten thousand people immediately rushed forward.
After all, this was the first contact between the two sides, and the army sent by Liu Xun was quite elite.
Although the soldiers from Jiaoxi, Jiaodong, Zichuan, and Jinan have not fought in major battles for a long time, they do have a lot of siege equipment in their hands.
Coupled with the large timber they collected along the way and continued to build ladders, the war had just begun and immediately entered a fever pitch.
Fifteen ladders were set up on the top of the city, and then countless rebel soldiers suddenly climbed up the ladders.
Each of these rebel soldiers held knives in their mouths, held a shield in one hand and a ladder in the other, and began to climb up desperately!
Rolling logs and rocks immediately fell from the top of the city. All the rebel soldiers who were hit lost their balance and fell directly from the city wall several feet high.
Under the Golden Lock Pass, there are rocks everywhere. As long as someone falls from the ladder, almost all of them will die without a sound, and even rescue work can be omitted.
In just a few breaths, hundreds of rebels were smashed from the ladder, and they died without even touching the city wall.
But even so, the rebels behind them will still take up their positions immediately.
Before setting off, Liu Xun had made it very clear that the first to attack the city would be free to plunder the city for three days.
Although the Han army defending the city has not suffered too many casualties so far, one-tenth of the rolling logs and stones stored on the city have been consumed.
"We can't continue fighting like this. Find a way to burn these ladders for me!"
Although the terrain of Jinsuoguan is dangerous, the equipment to defend the city is limited.
If they continue to consume at the current situation, I am afraid that within a few days, they will not even have rocks to hit people with.
Compared with the injuries to personnel, the loss of this equipment is also crucial.
After all, what they faced this time were people twenty times their size!
If you want to last longer, even the equipment must be used carefully!
"Don't worry, general, we've prepared a lot of fat. Look at the big pot over there, it's enough for them to drink a pot!"
The captain Nangong Yu on the side smiled ferociously and pointed at the dozens of cauldrons not far away.
"Since we have prepared so much, let them have a good taste!"
"promise!"
Luo Chenglong gave the order, and someone immediately brought the hot grease from the big pot in a small wooden bucket and poured it on the ladder!
"ah--"
The screams kept ringing, and the hot grease was poured down like this. As long as a little bit stuck on it, the skin and flesh would be ripped apart immediately!
What's more important is that this ladder was originally made shoddily, but now, after adding all the boiling oil, it is even more slippery and uncontrollable.
Many people accidentally fell down like this, immediately smashing the person underneath them into a large piece!
"Fire the arrow! Let me fire the arrow at the top of the city!"
Liu Xun was furious and immediately ordered the soldiers to start shooting arrows towards the top of the city. Countless arrows shot towards the top of the city like locusts.
At this time, the casualties on the city top immediately increased. However, fortunately, most of the injured were civilians, and this was on the top of the city after all.
Even if they were injured, there was still a place to hide. Not many people died on the spot. Soldiers immediately began to drag them to a safe place.
In order to guard against the rain of arrows, Luo Chenglong specially arranged a lot of shields on the top of the city.
After all, all of the 20,000 soldiers were wearing iron armor. Unless they were shot directly in the face, exposed palms, or calves under the skirts, it would be difficult to cause harm to them.
"ignition!"
Luo Chenglong immediately reciprocated the favor. With one order, fifteen ladders immediately turned into burning torches!
Under this first wave of temptation, Luo Chenglong finally defended himself.
However, Luo Chenglong also understood that this matter was just the beginning, and a more brutal battle was yet to come.
The rebels finally retreated temporarily. Luo Chenglong hurriedly ordered people to immediately cut off the hooks at the top of the ladders. Finally, he directly pushed down the still burning ladders.
After a brief silence, the rebels' official attack finally began.
Without any warning or any words, the 30,000 rebels received the death order, pushed various siege equipment, and began to approach the city continuously!
"General, look!"
Looking in the direction of Nangong Yu's finger, hundreds of rebels holding shields pushed a huge ram with all their strength, heading straight for the city gate of Jinsuoguan!
"Smash it! Don't let this thing get close to the city gate!"
Looking at the huge log on the rush car, which was five or six feet thick, Luo Chenglong felt a chill on his back.
Such a thick tree is probably at least hundreds of years old! If they were allowed to hit the city gate, even the gate made of fine steel might not be able to withstand it!
"Mu Yunxin! I'll give you three thousand civilians. Go down immediately and send people to demolish the houses near the city gate and block the city gate!"
Luo Chenglong was really a little anxious this time. If the city gate was knocked open, they would be greeted by the destruction of the city and the death of people!
"promise!"
Although he had such a feminine name, this boy was usually a ruthless character who dared to fight. After waiting for the order, he led people directly down the city wall without saying a word.
"kill--"
At this moment, the baffle of a nest car about one foot away from the city wall suddenly opened, and a dozen cavalrymen suddenly jumped on their horses and jumped directly onto the city wall!
"Damn it! Kill them!"
Luo Chenglong never dreamed that these damn guys would actually install cavalry directly in the nest car! It's a shame they were willing to put in this effort!
This is on the city wall. If they are allowed to charge, I am afraid that the rebels will soon attack the city wall!
