The horn of attack sounded, the drums thundered, and the two sides once again launched a desperate struggle. The Han army's rockets roared away, and the place where the city tower hit them instantly ignited. The Tibetan army on the top of the city began to be a little distracted.
Just after the Han army's first wave of arrow formations attacked, Pang Gu quickly ordered the siege team to push up the ladders, siege vehicles, and ramming vehicles, and began to attack the city together. In an instant, the army pressed forward, and the dark Han army began to climb the ladders, crash into the city gates, and attack the arrow towers.
Xiruozandhuo, who was standing in the watchtower of the city tower, was still sitting firmly in the central army tent, but his two lieutenants began to feel uneasy. They saw that the situation was beginning to reverse. If the Han army mobilized reinforcements and continued to strengthen the offensive, it would be very likely. Maybe they will climb the tower or break through the city. A deputy general on the left saw that the situation was not good and frowned: "Marshal, do we have to send additional reinforcements? Otherwise, the Han army is really likely to succeed!"
Xi Ruozandhuo smiled contemptuously, "What are you afraid of! Their two rounds of attacks are just tentative. With more than 30,000 people still trying to attack the city, they are simply destroying themselves by striking stones against stones!"
At this moment, an embarrassed soldier outside the door rushed into the tower, panting and kneeling down to report: "Marshal, there is a fire on the roof of the tower. Marshal, please move elsewhere quickly."
"What? Quickly send an order to send three teams to various critical fire places and use wooden bags and water bags to extinguish the fire." Xiruozandra was a little surprised, but waved to the soldiers helplessly, "You go down! "
At this time, Xiruozandra was so angry that he drew out his sword and took several lieutenants to observe the situation behind the female wall. Seeing the fierce enemy offensive, he quickly ordered his men to throw wooden thunder and yaksha thunder on the city gate from top to bottom. Casting with free fire iron box.
Although the Han army removed the obstacles on the enemy's ground, they had no time to pay attention to the rolling wood and rocks falling from the sky. For a while, they screamed and screamed, and blood splattered. After a while, there were mountains of corpses and rivers of blood under the tower.
Gao Yun and others who were watching the battle not far away were shocked and a little worried.
Seeing that his side was at a disadvantage in attacking the city, Pang Gu picked up his halberd from his horse, jumped off his horse, and followed the troops towards the city gate. When he arrived in front of the city gate, he suddenly saw a stray fire on the city tower. The molten iron in the iron box was about to topple over. Pang Gu saw a dozen soldiers in front of him still holding the ram car and ramming the city gate. He quickly shouted: "Overhead, get out of the way." Pang Gu's roar was deafening. Several soldiers took advantage of the situation and looked above their heads. In an instant, molten iron came towards them. A dozen soldiers fell to the ground and died in the west. Pang Gu had no time to take care of it. While the soldiers on the city tower were exchanging molten iron, Pang Gu stuck the halberd in his hand upside down on the ground and rushed directly to the ramming car. He pushed the ramming car up with both hands and rammed it towards the city gate. go. But there was a loud "dong" sound, the city gate shook, and then the huge wooden pile that hit the car broke with a "click". At this moment, he heard the sound of a clang behind him, and the Han army had given the order to retreat. Pang Gu had no choice but to withdraw, then he drew his halberd, and then retreated with the siege troops in the stream of arrows.
Standing behind the female wall, Xi Ruozanzhuo couldn't help but feel lingering fear. She pointed at Pang Gu who was retreating and asked his subordinates: "Who is that heavy-backed, rough-looking man in the Han army?"
Several of his subordinates shook their heads after hearing this, indicating that they did not know this person very well.
Xiruozanzanzhuo shouted: "You trash, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles. How come you don't even know that the enemy has such a powerful character!"
"Marshal, it's no wonder." A general said, "Lanzhou City has been cut off from us for two days. It may be difficult to find out the details of the enemy generals."
"How presumptuous! Can we only rely on Wei Nuo and a few Han Chinese for our intelligence? If you can't find out the details of this person before sunset today, then come and see him!"
Gao Jun, who was outside the city, was looking up at the sky. The sun was high in the sky, and it seemed that it was already noon. Gao Yun turned around and looked at Lu Zuo with a smile. It seemed that the second round of attack was very effective. Pang Gu's debut on the battlefield was also amazing. With him, the advantage of attacking the city was greatly improved.
Pang Gu's shirt was stained with blood, and his face was covered with blood stains. He came to Gao Yun with a painted halberd and slapped his horse, and asked in confusion: "Marshal, why did you suddenly withdraw your troops again? We have the advantage in this wave of offensive!" "
Lu Zuo chuckled, "What's the hurry? Even if we attack the city gate today, their Shanzhou defenders will arrive in time. By then, it will be a big deal."
"Then why are we still attacking? We might as well just withdraw our troops and go back to the camp. What's the point of attacking the city back and forth here?" Pang Gu looked puzzled.
Lu Zuo whispered: "Brother Pang, don't worry, you just made a meritorious service. Only if we make them afraid today can we be sure to defeat them tomorrow."
Gao Yun knew that he didn't understand Pang Gu very well, and he didn't want them to waste time on it, so he interrupted: "Brother, look..."
Lu Zuo nodded for him to continue.
When Gao Yun was about to give the order, Yin Ji, who was behind Lu Zuo, could no longer sit still. He rode around to them and said, "Brother Gao, master, Ji'er is requesting to fight!"
Gao Yun glanced at Lu Zuo undecidedly, and Lu Zuo also looked embarrassed at this time. After all, Yin Ji was still young, and the sword had no eyes on this battlefield. If something went wrong, it would not be a joke. .
Yin Ji was already affected by the scene just now, and his heart was filled with admiration. At this moment, he just wanted to take up his sword and go into battle to kill the enemy and avenge the soldiers who died just now, so he vowed again: "Master, Ji'er also wants to go into battle and kill the enemy. "
"You are still young, this battlefield is not for you, a child, to play around with!"
"Ji'er has just become an adult after one month ago, how can he still be young! Now is the time to serve the country."
Pang Gu deliberately mocked him, "You little kid, just stay here. When you charged into battle just now, your life would have been snatched away by the Lord of Hell in just a moment."
Yin Ji was not timid, "Brother Pang Pang, my life is my life. Aren't the lives of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country just now also their lives?"
Pang Gu looked at Gao Yun and Lu Zuo, who were a little dumbfounded. Lu Zuo gritted his teeth in his heart. Since Yin Ji was his apprentice, now was the time to train him. Moreover, with Yin Ji's martial arts skills, there should be nothing wrong with him, so he nodded to Gao Yun heartily.
Gao Jun understood, "Okay, in that case, Pang Gu, you must also protect Yin Ji."
Yin Ji was so excited that he drew out the Zhanlu Sword from his waist and smiled at Pang Gu: "Brother Pang Pang, let's go! I'll protect you this time."
The horn sounded again, and the third wave of attacks was launched again.
At this time, Xiruozandra returned to the city tower to take command. When he heard the sound of trumpets outside the city, he expected that the enemy's third wave of attacks would begin again.
