When Huang Zhong's troops attacked the city, the terrain was more open and more conducive to the deployment of the siege army's formation.
However, what the soldiers defending the city could not imagine was that Huang Zhong could actually send so many soldiers to attack the city at the same time!
A total of six ladders were carried up one after another and placed on the city wall one by one. Surprisingly, the enemy siege troops who were originally piled below, although there were more people, now seemed more dense than before. Be more orderly.
This is exactly the result of arranging troops in a matter of seconds and replenishing them according to the real-time battle damage under the city wall to achieve the result of alternately ascending the city.
This proves that Huang Zhong, a veteran, has already seen the defensive patterns of the city defenders, but he is just taking advantage of this now.
The pressure on the soldiers defending the city increased instantly!
"General, we're running out of kerosene!" A soldier ran up to the deputy general and shouted loudly.
"Then think of another way! If you can't stop the opponent, I'll chop off your head!" The deputy general was also a little angry.
All chaos.
What was originally a relatively orderly defensive formation, under the desperate charge of the enemy, now has a terrible trend of losing sight of one thing and even being stretched thin.
The seven siege armies started their most violent advance in unison. On the city wall, four shifts was a normal defensive strategy. Three shifts would make the wall a little crowded, and two shifts would be the limit.
Because there is simply no room for that many people to stand on the city wall!
First, the southernmost end of the city wall couldn't withstand it, then the central line was in emergency, and now, all roads need support. What's even more frightening is that the supply of boulders and hot oil transported from the rear has begun to exceed demand!
Are you forced to show your prepared backhand to the other party right here?
The lieutenant gritted his teeth and ordered to the rear: "Get on the rocket!"
The soldiers guarding the city seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this order.
The arrows in the hands of the soldiers finally glowed with fire.
call out!
These arrows began not to target the siege enemy troops within a stone's throw away, but instead aimed at their feet.
The consumption of kerosene to defend the city is extremely terrifying.
Therefore, right below the city wall, corpses, fire oil, and blood have already been used to outline a terrifying scene of hell on earth.
After just two rounds of volley fire, the oil and blood mixture that was already muddy started to burn and turned into a sky-high fire in an extremely fast time.
Once the flames burn through the armor on the corpse, the fat on the corpse will become the best accelerant for the flame.
So the flames got higher and higher, and the fire got bigger and bigger!
When we got to the back, it actually had the potential to reach the sky!
Even above the city wall, you can feel the steaming heat and the accompanying burnt smell!
"General, the enemy used rockets!" a soldier reminded from the side.
"What's the fuss about? I saw it." Huang Gai waved his hand, "Do you know why you are using rockets now?"
"I don't know." The soldier shook his head repeatedly.
"This proves that the kerosene has been almost used up. This guy Dong Zhuo actually prepared so much kerosene for Sishui Pass, and it took nearly six hours to use up all the kerosene. He really spent a lot of money."
Huang Zhong sighed, without any trace of panic on his face.
Color, on the contrary, seems extremely indifferent.
"Order the entire army to suspend the attack until the fire is out. The next attack will be decided soon!" Huang Zhong said lightly.
Not only Huang Zhong, but also several generals attacking the city, including Sun Jian, saw the flames burning below the city wall, and they all postponed the attack.
Everyone knows that after this fire, the defenders on the city wall will no longer be able to resist the army from attacking the tower.
Except for soup clothes.
"Continue to climb the mountain and climb the city, add two more lines of attack below the city, carry oilcloths and put out the fire." Tang Yi calmly gave the order.
"But General, the other siege armies have slowed down their siege." The soldiers around him reminded.
However, Tang Yi didn't say anything, turned around and walked back to his tent.
The soldier looked at Tang Yi's back and gritted his teeth, cupped his fists and said, "Here!"
"What, that little girl is still fighting?" Huang Zhong was really shocked when he heard that his men came to report.
Isn't this letting his soldiers die in vain?
On the city wall, the deputy general finally felt relieved when he saw the enemy retreating slightly.
"Let everyone take a break. Before this fire burns out, the enemy should not have any more large-scale attacks on the city." His expression was much more relaxed than before, and he was slowly issuing orders.
"General! The enemy's middle army is still charging!" a soldier reported.
"You really don't want to give up." The deputy general of the city guard pondered for a long time, knowing that the other party was still determined to use a battering ram to smash open the gate of Sishui Pass openly.
"Strengthen the defense in the middle. Don't neglect it. The other defenders will take turns to rest." He gave the order.
"Here! In addition, the military formation on the north side of the city wall is still attacking, and firefighting is still being organized under the city!"
"Hmph! Let them play without overestimating their capabilities. All other roads have been withdrawn. There is still such a big fire. What can they accomplish? How is the city wall?" he asked.
"All the enemy troops who climbed onto the city wall have been repelled, and everything has been restored to order." The man said.
"Okay, let them die if they are willing to die. I really don't know what the enemy general is thinking, actually letting such a ignorant person lead the attack on the city." The deputy general shook his head, and then said: "Everyone, please rest. After the fire ends, the enemy's attack will become more intense."
"Here!"
After the shouting of killing stopped for a while, the soldiers sent by Sun Jian to report the military situation were already on their way to the Chinese Army Commander's Platform.
The ordinary soldiers in Tang Yi's army may not be able to see the situation of the other siege armies, but except for their own side, it is difficult to hear the killing cries of other armies, which is enough to explain some situations.
So they were a little angry.
Once there are no other road troops to share the pressure on one's side, it is simply a fantasy to brave the fire to climb the city.
Is this asking him to go to the front and die?
What's more, among these people, the original organization has long been wiped out. Now the main force in the siege is almost all Yuan Shao's troops who were just added today. How can these people have any loyalty at all?
So although they still had to attack bravely, the pace of the attack already seemed a bit sluggish, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that they were just coping.
The defenders above the city wall were now very tired, so both sides began to release water almost "tacitly".
If the attackers do not attack well, as long as the defenders ensure that the attackers cannot reach the city wall, then it will be up to those people to put out the fire. Anyway, such a big fire cannot be put out in an instant.
The raging fire burned for almost half an hour, and the entire city wall, as well as the sky above the city wall, was reflected in a bright red. Along with the firelight, there was also thick black smoke, obscuring the mutual hatred between the enemy and ourselves.
The two newly added siege armies finally slowly opened up two roads for siege, but the temperature on these two roads was still extremely high. Compared with the previous "smooth road" on the way to the city, I don’t know how rugged it is now.
The captain who was responsible for leading the troops to extinguish the fire had endless resentment in his heart. He originally stayed well in Yuan Shao's army, but for some reason he was inexplicably sent to this battlefield of blood and fire, and even more so for no apparent reason. Arranging such a job that was destined to bring little military success, but was extremely hard work.
Fortunately, because of the thick smoke, the soldiers on the city wall had no accurate bows and arrows. Otherwise, he would have to go back to the camp and ask the general, did he want his soldiers to die in vain?
Even so, he was irritable.
You can obviously wait for the fire to burn out before attacking the city, so why rush for this moment?
He didn't understand. In fact, all the soldiers participating in the siege at this time didn't understand.
However, when all of them heard the shouts of killing on the city wall, all their incomprehension turned into shock.
Why is there another fight on the city wall?
The burning fire can stop the soldiers under the city wall, but it cannot burn the almost vertical mountain wall.
No one knew that after Tang Yi gave the order to continue attacking the city, she turned back to the camp to put on armor.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Yi led a group of elite soldiers. Taking advantage of the thick fire and smoke, they reached the side of the steep mountain wall. They followed the two climbing routes that they had finally figured out before and began to climb silently.
There was no harassment of arrows, no shouts of kill.
This divine weapon appeared inexplicably in front of the soldiers guarding the city.
Yes, it suddenly emerged from the thick smoke!
Tang Yi held a long spear in his hand. The moment the defender closest to him spotted him, the spear came out like a dragon, followed by a sweeping sweep.
Bang!
Before the soldier had time to issue a warning, he was shot off the city wall by Tang Yi.
The warning was given in the form of screams.
However, during this process, Tang Yi once again picked two enemies closest to him to death on the spot!
The spear in her hand shook slightly, and an enemy soldier fell down clutching his neck, where a small bloody hole had already been pierced by the spear tip.
Tang Yi changed from his usual fighting style, and on this not very wide city wall, his attacks became extremely delicate.
The advantage of this attack is that it is fast enough and saves effort.
The spear is known as the king of weapons, and it has basic marksmanship skills such as stabbing, stabbing, striking, attacking, entangling, circling, blocking, holding, pounce, point, and poke. The ones she used at this time tended to pierce the puncture points. The damage was not high, but the moves were fatal!
Whether there is a prominent combat force at the front is completely different for the meaning of siege. It is precisely because Tang Yi takes the lead and has not caused a commotion on the city wall that he can clear a wide area for those who climb the city wall behind. Come out to the clearing!
