Chapter five hundred and twelve fierce battle

Following Xun Yu's order, a group of soldiers who were already on standby soon arrived at the city wall. These soldiers were all big and round, holding huge hook-and-scythe spears in groups of three to five.

On the ladder set up on the city wall, he pushed forward with all his strength.

In an instant, the ladder hanging diagonally on the city wall was pushed away along with the soldiers climbing it, and fell to the ground. The soldiers on it were smashed to pieces, and many of them were even killed directly.

The ladder where Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were located was Xun Yu's key target, so it was naturally impossible for them to survive. Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had the courage to do anything, they could only watch helplessly as they had nowhere to rely on.

Groups of soldiers on the Yunlai City Wall were pushed down.

Fortunately, this could only temporarily contain Liu Bei's army's offensive. A small number of hook and sickle soldiers could not change the situation, but Guan Zhang was successfully forced off the city wall.

However, Guan Zhang didn't take it seriously. They had experienced this scene many times in the past few days. They climbed up the nearby ladder again without caring and continued climbing.

Seeing the soldiers on the countless ladders on the city wall climbing rapidly and slowly approaching the city wall, Xun Yu frowned slightly and said calmly: "Shu Yiye, Langya Pai."

The iron plates, wooden boards, and logs studded with iron nails and hooks that stretched out from the city wall and had been placed neatly and densely by Xun Yu's soldiers were whizzing directly downwards under the control of the city guards.

The ladder was smashed down. Like swatting flies, countless soldiers who had finally climbed up were smashed to the ground. Their bodies were covered with holes pierced by iron nails, and a stench was emitted. It was unclear whether they were alive or dead.

And these smashed Shu Yiye and Langya Pai were pulled up by ropes using fixed pulleys extending outside the city wall. After the soldiers climbed up the city wall, they were thrown down again. The soldiers on the city threw countless more

The arrows, thistles, etc. are all things soaked in gold juice.

In the distance, Liu Bei's eyes were on fire as he looked at this scene on the city wall. How many times had he faced Xun Yu's countless ways to defend the city, and each time Liu Bei could not attack the city wall without inflicting thousands of casualties. Although

There were not many soldiers defending the city, but Xun Yu was well-prepared and could wield them with ease. However, the 20,000 defenders made Liu Bei feel that there was no possibility of breaking the city.

"Zi Yang, how about the other two walls?" Liu Bei asked.

Liu Ye smiled bitterly: "My lord, this is the case for everyone."

"Then there's no other good way to break the city?" Liu Bei said unwillingly.

"I'm afraid this city was specially renovated by Xun Yu. It is not large in scale but the city walls are tall and solid. Moreover, the city is densely covered with arrow towers, Xiyiye and Langyapai, etc. The lower part is dug deep with bricks and stones, and the foundation is extremely solid. Tunnels are dug.

It may be useless. The city gates were blocked by Xun Wenruo from both sides with earth and rocks, and the siege engines are also useless. There are many other means, and our army may have no other choice but to use ladders to attack the whole way." Liu Ye said in a deep voice.

Liu Bei looked at the soldiers who had stormed the city wall being massacred one after another. His eyes were extremely angry and his heart was filled with anger. He gritted his teeth and said: "Zi Yang, let the catapults attack!"

Liu Ye was stunned when he heard this, and then hesitantly dissuaded: "My lord, although a certain person has made a preliminary imitation of the catapult according to the Xun family classics provided by Zhong Yu, and it can be put into battle, but its accuracy is very poor. Our army

The city is currently under siege, and it is of little use to order catapults to attack the city at this time, and it may cause accidental damage."

"No!" Liu Bei said in a cold tone: "It's not the attack inside the city, but the defenders on the city wall!"

"What?" Liu Ye opened his eyes in disbelief, and then pointed in the direction of the distant city wall with a slightly trembling hand: "Lord, our army is attacking the city. Once the catapults attack the city wall, I am afraid most of the flying stones will fall.

It will cause harm to our army!"

"I know this." Liu Bei said with crazy eyes: "But if we attack like this, we won't be able to climb the city wall for half an hour, and we will lose countless soldiers. Instead, it is better to use catapults to cover the attack. Both sides will suffer losses for our army.

Still beneficial!”

Liu Bei's tone was extremely cold, as if he didn't care about the lives of the siege soldiers at all: "I believe in Shu Zhi's ability. Even if the morale of the siege army drops, the white-eared soldiers will not let me down."

Liu Ye stared at Liu Bei in disbelief. His cold expression and his usual benevolent attitude seemed to be a different person, which made Liu Ye feel scared and strange.

"The overall situation is important, so what does the life of a few soldiers matter? If this battle is to end, a certain general will be in a dilemma and be in danger! Give the order quickly!" Liu Bei urged angrily.

"Yes!" Taking a deep breath, Liu Ye took a deep look at Liu Bei and ordered loudly in a complicated tone.

"Boom! Boom!"

Countless boulders flew towards the distant city wall with great momentum.

"Liu Xuande! You are so ruthless!" Xun Yu, who was on the city wall, showed a look of shock for the first time. He glared at Liu Bei in the distance and shouted. Then he thought for a moment and slowly ordered the soldiers guarding the city to dodge.

Flying rocks, and order the infantry holding giant shields to cover them as best they can.

"What's going on!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were attacking the city, looked at the flying rocks flying from behind and asked in shock and confusion. However, they immediately understood what Liu Bei meant and led their soldiers to continue charging up the city wall.

Guan Zhangyi was brave and not afraid of these flying stones. But the ordinary Liu Bei soldiers who were attacking the city were not so calm. They kept dodging with frightened faces. Countless soldiers were not killed by Cao Jun's rolling wooden arrows.

, but was smashed into a pulp by the boulders thrown by the friendly forces behind him.

The battle up and down the city wall slowed down instantly, but turned into a purgatory. Liu Bei's divine justice, regardless of the enemy or the enemy, caused heavy losses to both the attacking and defending sides.

Chen Dao, who had been waiting for a long time at the foot of the city, saw this scene. His eyes flashed, he grabbed a ladder and flew up. At the same time, he shouted: "White-ear elite soldiers! The time has come to serve our lord, come with me!"

Countless white-eared elite soldiers in white armor showed fanaticism when they heard this. They were not afraid of the flying rocks behind them and continued to climb up the surrounding ladders.

These people are not only elites in the army, but also veterans who are loyal to Liu Bei and have always followed him. Even if Liu Bei acted in such a cold-blooded way, they have no flinch or regret and are willing to fight to the death for Liu Bei.

Chen Dao's voice and the white-armored soldiers climbing under the city immediately alerted Xun Yu. Regardless of his own safety, Xun Yu walked out of the protection of the shield soldiers, stood up and shouted: "Give me all the gold juice and boiling oil."

Throw down the water, throw the rolling logs, and bring the crossbowmen to me!"

Xun Yu, who had always been elegant, actually showed his iron-blooded attitude at this time. After his order, the guards on the city wall reflexively rushed out again, holding the flying rocks on their heads and continuing to attack the soldiers climbing below.

But Chen Dao's white-ear elite soldiers are not easy-going people. They can easily dodge ordinary rolling stones and wood. Their sophisticated armor can easily block arrows, and they can even dodge splashed gold juice and kerosene.

Open, like a loach, it is as slippery as a climber.

Chen Dao relied on his body's flexibility to rush to the front and climbed up quickly, even faster than Guan Zhang.

When Xun Yu saw this, he was shocked, but he quickly reacted and said: "Pour kerosene on the ladders, throw torches, and the archers shoot rockets to burn these ladders. Soldiers with hooks and sickles, enter!"

The fire oil continued to be sprinkled, but the number was very small, and the rockets fired were constantly chopped and blocked by the white-ear elite soldiers under Chen Dui. The hook and sickle soldiers who had previously blocked Guan Zhang were ineffective. The center of the ladder was unknown.
