It was getting late, and the city gates were riddled with holes.
"Chen Zhong bids farewell to the general——"
A guard was hit by arrows all over his body. After all, he didn't waste any energy and roared at the Beiyu soldiers who had ascended first.
Even the city ladder was pulled down, and seven or eight figures all fell to death from high places.
Yu Wen only glanced at it and turned back firmly. The road to Huangquan is cold, so those who go first please wait, and those who come later will catch up.
For most of the day, he led three thousand soldiers to guard the front line. The main attacker, Jiang Meng, was extremely sophisticated. With the cover of throwing stones and flying arrows, and his large numbers of people, he had been able to seize the opportunity several times.
"Rockfall!"
Boom.
A falling rock made a roaring sound and hit the Beiyu soldiers who had ascended first. Suddenly, the dozen or so people climbing the ladder turned into corpse blood.
Another wave of strong attacks came first, but were hastily repelled.
"Catapult!"
The whistling stones were thrown at the enemy troops outside the city again. If they hit the target and landed on the Beiyu people's phalanx, there would be a continuous scream.
"Reorganize into ten formations. Six formations will defend the city, and four formations of rifles on the left and right will shoot the enemy troops in front of them." Yu Wen wiped the dirt from his face and continued to give orders calmly.
At this time, under the city ravine, there were densely packed corpses, mostly in Beiyu's military robes. Now, in less than a day, the number of casualties has exceeded five to six hundred.
"Pour another round of boiling oil!"
"General Yu, the boiling oil is here!"
"There is no need to fall towards the enemy, just fall on the wall so that the Beiyu people's city ladder cannot be firmly established."
As the boiling oil flowed, the city ladder slipped. Countless Beiyu people climbed up the ladder and staggered. The guard who was blocked by the city picked up a half-foot-long wooden spear and stabbed it down.
Rumble.
Another group of people boarded the enemy's army first and died at the gate of the city.
Woohoo——
The catapults under the city bombarded continuously. The originally clean and tidy first-line barrier has become more dilapidated. But even though it was broken, even if it was crumbling, the blood in the city gate had not cooled down at all.
…
Not far from the city gate, Jiang Meng, who was the main attacker, had a gloomy expression on his face. Although it was only the first day, it was enough to show the bravery of the Xishu guard.
"Attack again——"
"Where is the city car!"
"General Jiang, the city car is almost pushed to the city wall!"
At this time, outside the first-line gate, there were crushed cars everywhere. The wolf's tooth hanging on the city gate still had a lot of blood, broken meat, and even sawdust stuck to it.
"Send the order, regardless of the baggage, let the stone-throwing battalion and the infantry-bow battalion immediately cover the city vehicles and approach the city wall! As long as a hundred people climb first, this line of defense will gradually become untenable!"
Orders were passed down from level to level. Outside the city, the stone-throwing and walking bows that had been taking place for a while suddenly became frantic and continued to shoot towards the top of the city.
"Avoid, quickly avoid!"
Behind the city wall, countless guards gritted their teeth. Once the stone was thrown, they immediately shook off the dust on their bodies and continued to stand up to defend the city and fight.
In the center of the first line of the gate, although the archery tower only has twelve windows, there are two people in the arch window. Together with the volleys from four formations on the left and right, they all throw arrows outside the city. Among the enemy formations attacking the city, those who are hit by arrows They all fell to the ground and died.
"General Yu, Beiyu Dog's city car is approaching!"
Yu Wen lowered his head and narrowed his eyes.
This continuous array of stones and flying arrows was undoubtedly intended to cover the four or five city cars. There are forty or fifty people in each of these city cars. If a hundred people get on first and climb the city wall, I am afraid that the entire defense will be destroyed.
Moreover, the city car is not like the city ladder. Even if there is boiling oil on the wall, there will not be too much slippage.
The front line was not far away. Chang Sheng stood on the temporary watchtower and looked at the opening ahead in surprise.
"It's close, the city car is close, it's already touching the wall!"
Beside him, Shen Tu Guan was also extremely happy. As soon as the city car approached, it pressed against the wall again. As long as there was a tendency to climb first, then the front line was closed and there were only more than 2,000 guards left, and there was no way to stop this first climb.
"To be honest, this is Yu Wen's calculation. Three thousand people defended so tenaciously, but in the end they were not strong enough. I'm afraid they might not be able to hold on." Chang Sheng exhaled. Sure enough, Jiang Meng did not disappoint him. Taking advantage of the fact that the Shu people were tired, they pushed four or five city carts to the city wall at once.
"It's over." Shen Tuguan nodded, "However, before Yu Wen applied boiling oil on the wall, it was a good way to defend the city -"
"What did you say?" Chang Sheng was suddenly shocked. It was not that he didn't know, but after Shen Tu Guan talked about it, he remembered that Yu Wen had used such methods to defend the city.
"Not good!" Chang Sheng's body trembled. Shen Tu Guan, who was beside him, was also a man of both civil and military skills. He frowned and suddenly had a shocked look on his face, understanding the worries of his little military advisor.
…
At this time, under the city wall of Xianxian Pass. Not only the city cars, but also the dense city ladders began to be erected on the wall.
"General Yu, it's time to throw stones! If not, I'll have someone fetch the gold juice."
"No need." Yu Wen's tone was calm, "I had known that if the enemy army was strong, there would definitely be a situation like this, regardless of whether they would get there first. But I, Yu Wen, just this time, let them learn a lesson from the Shu people. Stick to your tactics."
Carefully lowering his head, Yu Wen could see clearly that in the dusk sky, there were dense enemy troops under the city and on the city walls, as well as the approaching city vehicles.
"Is there any fire orifice?"
"Of course there is..."
"Take off the kerosene on your body, give it to me, and set fire to the wall!" Yu Wen said angrily.
The soldiers nearby cheered when they heard this.
If the fire is small, they at the gate of the city will most likely be caught in the fire. But no matter what, being able to burn so many enemy troops to death at one time is enough to make back the money.
"ignition--"
…
Chang Sheng, who was not far away, watched helplessly as the thin wall suddenly burst into flames. He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
The previous boiling of oil was not only for skidding, it was also brewing for this arson.
The fire was raging, and one could vaguely hear the soldiers approaching the city wall, with many people screaming in pain.
Shen Tuguan was silent for a while, "In this way, the defenders at the city gate may also be caught in the fire. Such a stubborn defense is already considered a hero."
Chang Sheng opened his eyes, and before he knew it, he thought of the Xishu navy's junior general who was standing on the bow of the ship and turned into a gray sculpture.
"My lord told me that the ambition of the Shu people is the most powerful weapon of King Xu Shu. This Zai Wen is not a mediocre general. I even think that he has the ability to compare with you and me."
…
Jiang Meng stared at the fire burning on the wall, his face full of shock. The first wave that finally gathered together was easily resolved by the guard Wen.
Three world-famous generals all knocked on the gate, but the Western Shu garrison of only 3,000 people was like a thousand troops, with one man holding the gate and ten thousand others unable to open it.
…
