Liang Cheng's brows were furrowed, but Liang Yun on the other side was cheerful and said with a smile: "Commander, you see, our attack is advancing very smoothly. The Jin Gou at the head of the city has no way to fight back. I'm afraid they were all attacked a while ago."
He must have been hit to death by flying rocks."
Liang Cheng curled up his lips and said coldly: "No matter how much you attack with flying rocks, it's impossible to kill all the people on the top of the city. Look, there are still people who have been hit by arrows. I don't believe it."
There is no archer in the middle. I think they are waiting for our infantry to attack before firing their bows and arrows."
Liang Fei nodded: "Yes, I'm afraid that's probably the case. What should we do now, brother? Should we continue shooting or let the infantry attack the city?"
Liang Cheng looked at the top of the city, pondered for a moment, and said: "Order the infantry to attack the city. The suppression effect of the archers is already good. Even if they still have the strength to fight back at the top of the city, it will not be too strong. Moreover, I also want to see
Let’s see how much strength they still have. This first wave of siege is just a try. Send me an order, and the first warrior to rush to the top of the city will be rewarded with 500 pieces of silk and a hundred female slaves!”
The archers of the Qin army began to follow the dull sound of the horn, stopped shooting at the city head, and retreated one after another, while a large number of light infantrymen carried ladders and rope hooks and rushed past the archers.
, more than a hundred ladders more than two feet high began to be erected on the top of the North City, and the Qin infantry like a tide climbed up these ladders one after another. They held shields on their heads and held swords in their mouths to move as quickly as possible.
With great speed, I climbed towards the top of the city. Soon, I had climbed to half the distance!
In Shouchun North City, Liu Yu was sitting upright with his eyes slightly closed, listening to the sounds of killing from all sides. The sound of killing was loud, and the sound of stepping on the ladder to climb the city was also clearly audible. Zhu Lingshi looked a little nervous.
His breathing became rapid, Liu Yu opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "What's wrong, Ling Shi, are you worried?"
Zhu Lingshi gritted his teeth and said: "The enemy is climbing the city. We don't even have bows and arrows to fight back. Our momentum is completely overwhelmed by the enemy. Can we really hold on like this?"
Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, although Liang Cheng's momentum is not small now, he is just a tentative attack. The way to attack a city is to suddenly, where you really want to kill you, you can't wait to be silent."
They approach without stopping and then attack with all their might, so I don’t think there’s any problem with the momentum over there.”
Zhu Lingshi sighed: "But we don't even shoot arrows, is this okay?"
Liu Yu curled his lips: "We have thirty heavy trebuchets inside the city wall, which can throw fifty kilograms of boulders. Even these are useless. Bows and arrows are nothing. I think Liang Cheng has not pressed the elite soldiers now."
We are attacking the city, so we don’t need to expose all our strength. We just need to force out the enemy’s elite troops and then kill them.”
Zhu Lingshi's brows relaxed: "So that's it."
The sound of bows and arrows piercing the air came from the inside of the city wall more than a hundred steps away. Liu Yu smiled and said: "Look, Murong Nan is not doing nothing. This archer has also started shooting."
Under the base of the north city wall, five to six hundred Jin army archers were arranged in three columns. Under the command of the team leader, they began to draw their bows and shoot towards the top of the city.
These Shouchun archers are all burly men with strong arms and shoulders that are obviously wider than ordinary soldiers. The bows they use are mostly strong bows with more than three stones, which are more than three feet tall.
The top of the city was easily crossed by their bows and arrows. Even the two-foot ladders that were much higher than the top of the city and were set up on the battlements of the city were two or three feet high under the arrows that flew over the city.
.
The soldiers of the Qin army who had climbed to a height of seven or eight feet looked up, only to see a wave of black arrows flying past one or two feet above their heads, crossing a huge arc, and falling behind them.
Among the crowd more than twenty steps away.
Screams and wailings began to sound outside the city. Although the number of five hundred archers was not many, because there were so many people attacking the city, the teams were all crowded together, and the shooting of these Shouchun archers
The speed was very fast, almost continuously, so it caused a lot of damage to the Qin army's siege troops. Most of the light infantry in the back row were waving their swords and guns, shouting to support the battle from behind. A sudden burst of arrows, instantly
Three to four hundred people were shot down, and the remaining people did not dare to scream anymore. They squatted down one after another, leaned closely together, raised their wooden shields to their heads, trembling, yelling, and praying.
.
Liang Cheng sneered and said: "Sure enough, there is still a counterattack in the city. Their archers withdrew the city head and lobbed fire from behind to avoid the attack of our army's flying rocks. Send an order for the infantry to speed up the city and come to me as soon as possible."
Control the top of the city, and the archers will move forward to suppress it with lobs. Then add another two thousand archers, and I will completely suppress the bows and arrows in the city."
More than 3,000 Qin army archers, plus more than 2,000 people who followed, rushed forward. Since the area within fifty steps of the city wall was already crowded with infantry, they could not retreat, so they simply stopped forming a line.
, all dispersed, followed these infantrymen, drew their bows and fired arrows, rows of dense arrow rain flew over the city wall without interruption, and landed behind the city wall.
There was only a constant sound of "Pap-Pap-Pap-Pap". Experienced soldiers could tell that it was the sound of arrows hitting shields or door panels. The bows and arrows fired from the city were much sparser, but they still did not stop.
Obviously, the shield bearers in the city were covering the archers, and while taking advantage of the gaps in the rain of arrows, the archers who had drawn their bows would get out of their shields and door panels and continue to shoot arrows outside the city.
The archers on both sides were shooting fiercely, but the Qin army infantry who climbed the city did not stop for a moment. More than two thousand people were like ants on the three-mile-wide front and on more than a hundred ladders.
The escalator went straight up, and there were even many soldiers who could reach the place within reach of the gap in the battlements.
Suddenly, there was a burst of intensive banging sounds at the top of the city, followed closely by bursts of loud shouts of killing. Just now, there were not a few people visible at the top of the city. From behind the female walls and battlements, countless people stood out.
The sergeants, holding two steel forks in their hands, one after another got on the heads of these ladders.
Two or three people held such steel forks and exerted their strength in unison. With their roars, these ladders, as well as the Qin sergeants climbing on the ladders, were pushed down alive. These unlucky ladder-climbing soldiers,
They fell heavily to the ground and were knocked unconscious. Some of the weaker ones even vomited blood and could not get up.
