The Yan army here was still clicking their tongues at the quick response of Zhao Jun's catapult, but Zhao Kuo over there frowned at the lack of accuracy.
Of course, it’s no wonder that the soldiers in the artillery camp, after experiencing the vibration of the city wall caused by the previous round of stone bullets, did not dare to release the stone bullets any shorter, so several bullets passed by the arrow tower. situation.
Zhao Kuo, who was wielding a long sword, was extremely anxious, but he did not have time to convey his urgency to the artillery camp below the tower.
Perhaps, even if Zhao Kuo had time, he would not scold the artillery camp. After all, this job is really hard to do!
After a series of damage, the lieutenant finally decided to make the arrow tower move even if he lost some accuracy and deterrence. Otherwise, the arrow tower would be damaged too quickly.
Soon, the Yan Army soldiers who received the order began to move their arrow towers. However, the arrow tower that was already full of people could not be moved so easily.
Just when the Yan army's arrow tower was about to move, the whistling stone bullets struck again. With several bangs, smoke and dust were everywhere under the towers of the city.
When the smoke and dust dispersed, half of the six arrow towers were gone! Finally, with Zhao Kuo's patient waiting, the accuracy of the stone bullet finally improved.
However, Yan Jun presented a new problem - moving target! Obviously, this move is even more difficult to calculate for a target that is already difficult to calculate.
Fortunately, the Yan army only has three arrow towers left. In other words, the catapults can be grouped in groups of six to carry out coverage strikes.
But before that, Zhao Kuo had to face another difficulty. Just as smoke and dust were rising under the city tower, the Yan army under the city tower also quietly gathered an elite force. Under the cover of the smoke and dust, they quickly climbed up the ladder. Looking at the direction of their attack, they were heading straight towards Zhao Kuo. And go.
However, they saw the soldiers of the Yan army who had climbed up the ladder quickly crossed into the vicinity of Zhao Kuo. More than ten shield soldiers were divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers, trapping Zhao Kuo in place.
The commander of the village led his team to quickly pass by Zhao Kuo and kill the Zhao soldiers on the periphery with a fierce gesture. At the same time, the archers on the arrow tower quickly set up their bows and fired arrows, trying their best to complete three consecutive shots in the shortest time. Forced Zhao soldiers back again.
At the same time, the shield soldiers took the opportunity to insert again, completely cutting off the connection between Zhao Jun and Zhao Kuo. Therefore, in almost an instant, Zhao Kuo and his four soldiers would be completely isolated by the Yan army, and the trapped Zhao Kuo would also fall into a siege from the Yan army.
Caught off guard, even though the Zhao army tried its best to resist, they still inevitably fell into the trap of the Yan army. Zhao Kuo and the four soldiers were quickly divided by nearly dozens of Yan army elites as the Yan army expected. surrounded.
The Zhao soldiers on the periphery suddenly went crazy. The Yan army surrounded their general, and he surrounded them in front of them. If something happened, let alone how to punish him, just the spit of his comrades would be enough. Drown yourself.
Can you not be crazy? The captain of Zhao Bing's section of the city wall quickly organized troops to break through the Yan army's line. However, facing the elite Yan army, the defense was not enough, how could they still make a breakthrough!
Zhao Kuo was also a little confused when he was surrounded, but he immediately threw away his arms and waved his sword, trying to break through the shield soldiers and return to Zhao's main formation. Unfortunately, even though the sword was powerful, he could only break through one point in a short time. However, when Zhao Kuo wanted to complete the breakthrough again, the Yan army completed the encirclement first.
Zhao Kuo knew that his claws were numb! The first reaction in Zhao Kuo's mind was to bring up the reserve team to relieve the siege, but then he rejected this idea for no other reason than that the Yan Army's arrow tower had not been killed yet. The reserve team might be able to bring up the siege, but It will inevitably suffer heavy losses, which will be detrimental to the subsequent war.
How about transferring Sun Gu over? It might work, but it's obviously too late! Sun Gu might also be fighting fiercely over there, let alone being unable to move. Even if he wanted to move, he would be on the other side of the tower. If he waited for him to come, he would probably lose his skin even if he didn't die.
Then the only way is to save yourself! Can you save yourself? Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and then observed the situation around him.
Fortunately, although the Yan army surrounded him, the number of troops was not very large. As long as the continuous flow of Yan army could be stopped from ascending the tower, it would not be too late.
"The order: The stone-throwing chariot will quickly destroy the arrow tower in front of us. The archers and infantry will counterattack in a flying geese formation, and then attack normally. Cut off the ladders first, and don't insist on breaking through!" Zhao Kuo shouted.
"Yes!" After hearing Zhao Kuo's order, Lieutenant Zhao immediately had a backbone. He immediately changed the offensive formation according to Zhao Kuo's order and used the flying geese formation to counter-encircle the Yan army on the tower.
At the same time, messengers were sent to urge the catapult attack. The reserve team and others who had been paying attention to Zhao Kuo were as anxious as ants on a hot pot when they saw their general being surrounded not far away.
Seeing the messenger coming towards them! Not to mention how excited I was, I drew my swords from their scabbards one after another. Just waiting for the word "Commander" to pop out, they were about to kill the general and rescue the general!
Unfortunately, the messenger ignored them and ran straight to the bottom of the city tower. With quick eyesight and quick hands, the captain grabbed the messenger who ran past him and asked: "Didn't my king call us to come up?"
"Wait! My king only sent the order to the artillery camp!" The ordering soldier obviously did not want to get involved with him. He dropped a word, broke free from the captain's arm and ran towards the artillery camp.
Only the five hundred elite members of the reserve force were left staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes, with various emotions such as anger and helplessness lingering in their hearts.
The reserve team did not move, but Zhao in the encirclement was not idle. He once again blocked an attack by the Yan army with a long sword in his hand.
But Zhao Kuo did not take the opportunity to launch a counterattack on the inside of the city wall, in the direction of the Zhao army's peripheral attack. Instead, he turned around and attacked in the direction of the Yan army's ladder.
Zhao Kuo understood that to get out of trouble, he had to suppress the attack from the arrow tower and cut off the Yan army's foreign aid.
As long as there is no continuous stream of Yan troops coming up from the ladder, the Yan troops on the city tower will immediately become disordered and unable to stop themselves and the surrounding armies from attacking from inside and outside.
Zhao Kuo, who wanted to understand this, immediately held his long sword horizontally, then carried the sword with his body and swept away from left to right, only to hear
With a few "puff" sounds, several Yan soldiers who had just stood on the tower were swept down the ladder by Zhao Kuo. As Yan's soldiers rolled down, Zhao Kuo also successfully stood on the battlements and isolated the connection between the ladder and the tower.
Who dares to stand upright with a sword, but I am General Zhao. Of course, he is handsome, but for this, Zhao Kuo has been hit by two arrows in his arm, and one of his four personal guards has also fallen.
The current situation is that Zhao Kuo alone blocked the Yan army from continuing to increase its troops. The three personal guards barely protected Zhao Kuo's back and head. The battle in the circle became stalemate for a while.
On the periphery, the Zhao army was annihilating the Yan army layer by layer and one by one according to Zhao Kuo's deployment. Since the arrows from the arrow tower were all aimed at Zhao Kuo, the Yan army that lost air support was quickly killed. The anxious Zhao army was forced to retreat continuously. When there was no way to retreat, they had no choice but to surrender their lives.
Without any danger, the Zhao army quickly eliminated the Yan army who climbed onto the city tower layer by layer, rejoined Zhao Kuo and took over the defense of the front section of the city wall, and passed through
Under the "rolling wood and stone" attack, the elite of the Yan army was repulsed again. Zhao Kuo was also carried to the inside of the city wall by the only two wounded soldiers.
When the captain saw that the general had finally returned safely, he went up to meet him with excitement. He saw four or five arrows stuck in Zhao Kuo's arms and back, and blood was pouring out from the wounds.
He knelt down with a plop, grabbed the ground with his head and his nose became sore, and he actually started crying!
A group of Zhao Jun soldiers also came over after hearing the news, but when they saw King Zhao, who was covered in blood and with arrows stuck in his body, they all knelt down on one knee and shouted: "General!" Seeing this, Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "Everyone is here!" Don't worry, officers and men, look, my blood is all bright red, and there is no poison on the arrowhead! Wait until I pull out the arrowhead, and then fight side by side with my two or three sons to protect my rivers and mountains!"
"Nuo! Fight side by side and protect my rivers and mountains!" The voice gradually spread away and soon resounded throughout the whole city of Yanyu! Amidst the thunderous roars, the catapults in the city also unleashed their power again, and two of the last three arrow towers were also reduced to pieces, especially the arrow tower that just tried to kill Zhao Kuo. , and even received special care from the artillery battalion. Under the combined blow of more than ten stone bullets, it was instantly turned into powder.
Looking at the last lonely arrow tower, Qing Qin understood that the time left for him was running out!
However, Zhao Jun had just repelled an attack. It was a time of carelessness, and this mere arrow tower was the best way to confuse him. Perhaps the enemy would be defeated at this time!
It was too late to say, but soon, Qing Qin's final trump card was finally revealed. The moving arrow tower finally came to a halt between the two ladders. Yes, they wanted to use their lives to escort the hundreds of elites on the two ladders to the tower.
The soldiers who had high hopes from Qing Qin immediately took over the two ladders. Without hesitation, almost at the same time that the arrow tower was about to be in place, five hundred elites had already climbed onto the ladder.
"Kill!" Soldier Yan shouted as he climbed up the ladder and sprinted towards the tower. Zhao Jun, who had just been inspired by Zhao Kuo, was naturally not to be outdone, and responded to Yan Jun with rolling logs, rocks and dense rain of arrows!
The small city and the wall facing the south of the city were once again caught in the repeated battle between the two armies.
"Instruction: All trebuchets are ready to carry out coverage and strikes on the area near the last arrow tower, including the ladder, but the destruction is temporarily postponed, waiting for my order." Zhao Kuo looked in front of him.
"Lively" offensive, silent instructions. Apparently after the bloody battle just now, Zhao Kuo calmed down a lot.
He understood that he, who was already somewhat out of strength at this time, might be the biggest weakness on this tower. Through the siege just now, Zhao Kuo has also discovered the Yan army's intention. Despite the lively fighting on the front battlefield, the most dangerous thing is the ladder where the arrow tower is located. It is not impossible that the Yan army will repeat the same trick. He also had to defend himself.
Instead of knocking down the outdated arrow tower and letting the Yan army randomly choose a place to repeat their old tricks, it is better to let the flaw of the arrow tower be allowed to induce the Yan army's inertial thinking and give the Yan army a heavy blow at the last arrow tower. one strike.
Hit with one punch to avoid a hundred punches coming!
"Pass the order..."
