"Ding Ding Dang," kept sounding, and those who raised the cloud ladder with one hand kept holding a shield to resist. The shields that could be used flexibly to block many arrows for them, but many people were still bows and arrows. Shot, but surprisingly, those who were shot rarely fell down due to injuries, because the armor they wore covered them from top to bottom, and the greatest damage caused by those bows and arrows to them was the impact of power.
The armor worn by those Yang soldiers was made of unknown materials. It was difficult for the bows and arrows used by the Star Army to penetrate their armor. As long as those Yang soldiers protected their vitals, they would not be easily injured and would be more difficult to be shot by bows and arrows.
"Attack with fire." Seeing that ordinary bows and arrows were of little use, as the commander of the arrow camp, Yan Nantian directly ordered to change the attack method.
Then the archers attacked with arrows tied with collodion to enhance the effectiveness of their attacks. Arrows carrying sparks flew quickly to the city, making another clanging sound.
The splashing oil droplets brought with it the scorching temperature, affecting the normal movements of some soldiers. Some people were shot in critical positions by random arrows in the panic. When the Star Army launched the second round of attacks, sparks flew and burned the clothes of some soldiers. It will have more impact on those Yang troops.
One by one, Yang's troops continued to fall. Under the influence of each other, Yan Nantian's method quickly worked, but it didn't last long. After the Yang Kingdom's archers stopped fifty meters away from the city wall, they put away their daggers one by one. , raised his long bow and launched a direct attack on the Star Army on the city.
"Ah," before the Yangguo infantry even boarded the city, some of the star troops on the city had been hit by arrows shot from below, and fell down one after another. Soon, the star troops on the city were directly hit by arrows from below because of their numbers. Under the suppression of Yang Jun, the number of people began to decrease. Under the continuous attack of Yang Jun, those who were still alive no longer dared to expose too much of their bodies rashly.
Seeing the Yang army under the city shooting their people wantonly, Yan Nantian frowned. Their archers had already suffered heavy losses before they had played a big role. It can be expected that as the number of enemy archers increased, they would It will be more difficult to use bows and arrows to stop the enemy troops. When the enemy troops rush to the city in large numbers, they can only count on the infantry defending the city.
"Charge," in a blink of an eye, the vanguard soldiers of the Yang Army rushed to the city. One ladder after another leaned against the wall. When some people threw their hooks towards the city, others hurriedly took off their clothes. Put on a layer of armor, and then climb directly to the top of the ladder.
"Ah," those three-claw hook locks were thrown to the city one after another. The sharp hooks either hit the Star Troops on the city or hooked the city wall. In the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of Star Troopers on the several hundred meters long city wall. Disaster.
Some Star Army soldiers were nailed to the city by those three-claw hooks before they had time to throw down the stones they were carrying. When the people below pulled hard, they were unable to break free of the hooks and could only scream in agony as they were hooked. Claws nailed to death, the sudden and tragic situation made the Star Army still alive next to them fearful. Before Yang Jun even started to climb the city, he had already used surprising means to damage the morale of the Star Army.
A group of Star Army generals on both sides of the city wall were shocked by the unexpected attack method of the enemy. While loudly reminding the soldiers to be careful, they personally helped the soldiers cut off the chains connecting the hooks.
When chaos broke out on the city, some of the Yang army had already climbed to the upper part of the ladder. Seeing that their own personnel were about to climb to the city, some of the Yang army's archers slowed down their shooting speed.
As Yang Jun reduced the number of shots, the situation on the city finally improved. After discovering that the Star troops on the city were seriously injured, Yan Nantian ordered people to block the enemy troops from ascending the city, while asking the Star troops guarding the city to go up to the city for support.
Speaking of which, Yang Jun's first attack with the hook was very bold, because if the hook accidentally dropped or was hit by the star troops on the city, they would be the ones affected.
In addition, because the number of ladders leaning against the wall is always limited, this behavior cannot cause many casualties to the Star Army, but surprisingly the effect seems to be even better than when Ruan Qiling used the ferocious beast to lead the attack, and the chaos in the city is still is spreading.
Fortunately, the Star Army generals who were responsible for commanding the operations were not in a state of chaos because of the current situation. While they hurriedly reminded the soldiers below to be careful, the Star Army officially began to defend. Some stones were thrown from the crenels one after another. It didn't take long. , continuous screams came from the city.
When a stone falls, it affects the people on the entire ladder. Even if the ladder cannot be destroyed together, most of the Yangjun on the ladder will be affected.
After arriving at the city, those Yangjun who were fully armored had taken off their outer armor because their armor was too heavy. Now they were all wearing light armor, just to climb to the city as quickly as possible.
In fact, Yang Guo not only has outstanding preferences in sports, but also has its strengths in ordnance manufacturing. It can be said that the weapons and armor of each Yang army are better than those used by the Star Army in the city.
Of course, the combat effectiveness of Yang's army is not determined by weapons and armor. Whether they can successfully attack the city remains to be verified by time.
After removing the outer layer of armor, the physical burden of those soldiers was greatly reduced, and the bearing capacity of the ladder was also strengthened accordingly. The agile Yang Jun continued to climb up. In the blink of an eye, many people on each ladder had already climbed up. above position.
But the faster they rushed, the faster the stones fell from above. When the stones continued to fall from above them, the Yang army on the ladder was in pieces. The soldiers who were waiting to board the city below also suffered. In the end, because The morale of the Yang army was greatly affected by the Star Army's obstruction.
Although there were many officers below constantly urging people to climb the city, many Yang soldiers were still extremely scared when faced with the falling stones from above. Not only that, there were also arrow towers on the walls of Fancheng. Those star troops relied on the arrow towers for cover and could attack from the side at will. Raise the army.
With the use of a variety of means, the defensive capabilities of the Star Army were greatly improved. On the contrary, the charge momentum of the Yang Army was greatly weakened. The high city walls played a decisive role in blocking the Yang Army below, until those Yang Kingdom archers once again played a prominent role. Only then did the situation change.
A few tens of meters away, the formally trained Yangguo archers were confident that they would not hit their own people. Under their shooting, the Star troops on the city who were busy throwing stones and rolling logs only needed to Exposing part of the body is life-threatening. Sharp arrows pierce the air and continue to take away the lives of the Star Army. As the number of defenders decreases, the pressure faced by the Yangguo soldiers below is greatly reduced. Some people have already climbed to the crenel. One step further can lead to the city.
Seeing that the enemy might be able to board the city, Yan Nantian, who had long been worried that Yang's army would use archers to suppress his own personnel, directly ordered the archers to fight back. At the same time, he ordered everyone to use rolling logs to block the enemy's climb. No matter what, they had to block the enemy's climb. Xia Yangjun's second round of momentum.
Facing the flying arrows of the Star Army, the offensive of the Yangguo archers weakened. At the same time, the Star Army on the city seized the time and the two of them worked together to lift the arrows that were more than one meter long and two feet wide. The logs were thrown directly over the crenel.
The log is extremely heavy. Once it falls, it will affect not only the Yangguo soldiers on a ladder, but also many Yangguo soldiers who were originally guarding under the ladder.
"Ah," the Yang troops who were about to climb up the city were knocked down by logs one after another. Not only were their previous efforts in vain, but their falling bodies also continued to affect the other soldiers below. Only this time the logs blocked Yan Nantian. This relieves great pressure on one's own side and at the same time buys time for support from the people under the city.
At that moment, many star troops ran up the four long ladders, each holding weapons and quickly filling the gaps in the city's troops. After knocking down some Yang troops who had climbed to the city but had not had time to launch an attack, the city soon The situation returned to its original state, and the Star Army only needed to use stones to prevent the enemy from climbing the city.
"General, just now the enemy attacked with bows and arrows. It seems that many of our personnel were injured." Standing next to Lu Yunyou, recalling the scenes in the city just now, Zhang Jiutian turned around and said to Lu Yunyou.
"Yes," Nodding, Lu Yunyou could not deny Zhang Jiutian's speculation, because after a round of shooting from the enemy, they had begun to draw reinforcements from below. It can be imagined that the loss of personnel on the city must be considerable.
"General, do you think the enemy can attack the city?" Seeing Lu Yunyou nodding, Zhang Jiutian asked again.
"It's very possible." Just thinking about the huge formation of the coalition forces, it was difficult for Lu Yunyou to consider their geographical advantages.
"I hope the general is ready," Zhang Jiutian nodded without questioning Lu Yunyou's conclusion.
"Yes," he agreed. Lu Yunyou knew that as a wolf general, his status in the infantry camp was now second only to Li Jianran and another infantry general. His position was important for him to become the commander of the second formation. reason.
