"Dong-dong dong..."
"General, the bandits are attacking the city!"
Just after the Wolf Guard and the soldiers rested for an hour, the big cowhide drum suddenly started beating loudly outside the west city of Wuxian County. The guard sergeant came to report that the rebel army was attacking the city again!
"All ministries obey the order and prepare to meet the enemy!" After Zhuge Kan settled the wounded soldiers, he drew his sword, climbed up from the bottom of the city to the top of the city in one breath, and immediately ordered to inform the defenders of the city.
Outside the city, Sun En was sitting under the great banner. With his cousin Sun Zhong's 3,000 strong men as the vanguard, and under the cover of thousands of old and weak soldiers and ordinary thieves, he launched his seventh attack on Wu County!
Starting from the main formation of Sun En's army three miles away, the anti-thief king slowly advanced towards the wall of Wu County.
Liu Yu and a few people pushed a cart loaded with huge rolling stones. Liu Yu came forward with a ring-shaped knife: "General, everything is ready!"
Zhuge Kan's eyes were solemn, he nodded heavily, and then the voice of the messenger sounded around the city.
"Crossbowmen prepare!"
"The Divine Crossbow of Ten Thousand Arms fires ten times at a time, five of them are ready. The enemy troops under the target city are ready!"
"Golden juice, boulders, and rolling logs are ready!"
"Distribute the remaining weapons to the civilians and be ready to support the city wall at any time."
"Trebuchet cross, load it with rocks, get ready quickly!"
…
With the roaring catapults and deafening drums of the two armies, the siege of the city began.
At the gate of Wu County, a large number of people supporting the elderly and the young were pushed and forced forward, acting as human shields. Even though Zhuge Kan ordered the crossbowmen to adjust their angles and move as far back as possible to attack Sun Zhong's elite, in the end they still could not protect the large number of people. The screams of injured civilians echoed over the battlefield.
"General, on the battlefield, there is life and death, so you must not be kind to women!" Liu Yu saw that Zhuge Kan couldn't bear it, so he couldn't help but remind him.
Zhuge Kan's eyes turned cold, his heart hardened, and he finally gave the order: "Pour the golden juice!"
"Ah! Ah -" Randomly, as soon as the city stepped across the moat filled with corpses, and before they touched the city wall of Wu County, heart-rending screams and painful shouts rang out from the old and weak team!
Zhuge Kan knew that this method of fighting was against the Qiaoqi Army's military ethos of loving the people, but now he had no other choice! Either abandon the thousands of people in front of you, or go out of the city and surrender, abandoning the lives of the Wolf Guard and all the brothers of the Xiaoqi Army and the tens of thousands of people in Wu County!
Ridiculous, is surrender possible?
The Knights would rather die in battle than surrender to the city to survive!
"Let go~" Zhuge Kan raised his sword high and pointed it directly at the thief army attacking the city in front.
Soon, countless boulders were thrown high into the sky by catapults, directed towards the rebel army that was violently attacking the city!
What followed was a temporary crossbow battalion composed of 300 wolf guards. The crossbow arrows composed of pedal crossbows, repeating crossbows, and the Divine Crossbow of the Ten Thousand Arms formed a perfect arc in the air, reaching the highest critical point in the air. , thousands of crossbow arrows changed their angle downwards and shot into the huge siege team of the bandits without mercy!
In the formation of the rebel army, behind the old and young civilians were Sun Zhong's 3,000 elite soldiers, and then came the 8,000 personal troops under Sun En's personal control. After the crossbow arrows of the heroic cavalry fell, the rebel army was like a piece of fallen wheat straw. , being constantly harvested by crossbow arrows. After a rain of arrows, thousands of rebels fell on the way to attack Wuxian.
"Don't run away. Anyone who escapes from the battle will be killed on the spot!" Sun Zhong waved the sword in his hand, opened his mouth and shouted with a red face. He commanded a supervising team composed of 500 pro-soldiers to come forward. The role of the supervising team is Supervisors coerce civilians, set up ladders and siege towers, and are also responsible for supervising battles. Once they find someone breaking away from their formation and trying to escape, they will rush forward and kill them mercilessly!
When the bloody human heads were hung on spears and lances, under Sun Zhong's strong suppression, the troops who had retreated slightly began to move forward. The overwhelming siege team resumed a tight formation and marched toward the city wall step by step. Press down.
"Trebuchet, hit me back hard!" At the same time as Sun Zhong led 3,000 men and horses to set off, Sun En, who was sitting under the banner, ordered the catapult to also start to show off its power, and began to suppress the Jin army who was exerting power at the top of the city. .
The rebel trebuchet was pushed forward. When the stones were loaded, the rebel soldiers in charge used a winch to pull the long arm back to a certain horizontal angle and suddenly released it.
When the boulders rose rapidly, they immediately hit the Wuxian city wall. Most of the rocks hit the nearly one-foot-thick crenellations on the city wall. Many of the crenellations on the parapet wall were directly bombarded by the anti-thief catapults and were smashed to pieces. !
Several sergeants hiding behind the crenels were hit with bloody heads. The armor on the head and crotch armor of the sergeants who were unfortunately hit were vulnerable to this powerful kinetic energy, and were directly smashed to pieces!
In fact, the upper bodies of the three sergeants were hit by stones. Dark red blood and gray brains emerged, as well as various other body fluids, covering the surrounding area. Their eyes showed unwillingness, regret and difficulty. The great pain of words is gone forever!
"Damn it! Kill my brother!"
"Liu Sima, let your subordinates smash that stupid artillery truck to avenge the brothers!" The Wolf Guard, who was responsible for using the trebuchet, saw his familiar comrades die under the enemy's stones, and his eyes were almost on fire!
"Target, enemy artillery, release!" After being reminded, Liu Yu naturally discovered the threat of catapults in Sun En's army, and immediately ordered the catapults at the top of the city to change their targets and focus on attacking the catapults below the city.
Sun En simply didn't have many catapults, only five. And these five catapults were smashed to pieces by Liu Yu's order and could no longer be used. Sun En's army could only bear the city in silence. The Jin army was hit by catapults and could not fight back!
This scene of the attackers and defenders attacking each other not only happened in the west city of Wuxian County, but also took place on the other three city walls of Wuxian County at the same time. It's just that the other three cities are used as cover to confuse the audience. The real main attack area of Sun En's army is on the west wall. The terrain here is high, which is more suitable for attacking the city.
"Shieldmen, prepare!" When Zhuge Kan discovered that the enemy's scattered crossbowmen were approaching, he immediately ordered the shieldmen to be mobilized to cover the defending troops. When a small school on the high platform in the west city of Wu County began to wave the command flag, , hundreds of shield bearers holding double arc shields rushed over immediately!
At the same time, under the city, Sun Zhong's messengers also quickly ran out, sending orders from the position where the crossbowmen were.
Several civilians who were carrying wood and rocks and had poor endurance saw the tragic situation on the city top. They were so frightened that they dropped their burdens and collapsed on the city head, vomiting and diarrhea all over the floor.
"Catapult, release!"
After giving the order, when the short-arm heavy hammer was completely dropped, the catapult stones at the head of Wu County City flew out of the bag and hit the anti-thief army attacking the city accurately. The attacking crowd immediately heard the howls of ghosts and wolves.
"Attack!" In order to show his bravery and let the soldiers see him and inspire fighting spirit, Sun Zhong actually took the lead and led his troops to attack the city. Even under the intensive attack of the Jin army, his siege team Just like the yellow rice lying on the streets in autumn, it keeps falling...
When all the people, old and young, died on the way to attack the city, ladders were finally set up under the Wuxian city wall and erected on the city wall.
The trestles of the siege vehicles were crowded with rebels, waiting for the moment the siege vehicles were against the wall, and then jumped over the wall to seize the city.
In order to put the ladder up to the city wall, this short circuit, which was only more than two miles long, was full of people, including civilians and elites of Sun En's army, about five to six thousand people.
"Brothers, kill! Fight into the city and plunder for three days!"
"The Knights, warriors of the Wolf Guard! Follow me and kill the thieves!"
