"Dong dong——!"

"Dong dong——!"

From the east gate of Shanyang County, bursts of war drums could be heard.

On the melting snowfield east of Shanyang County, more than 25,000 troops under the command of Han General Ju Xin were lined up neatly.

The first sequence used to attack the city, a total of ten thousand-man phalanxes, was already ready.

"Wei Gongzijiang..."

Han general Ju Xin sat astride his horse and looked at the city and county from a distance.

At this time, he no longer underestimated the enemy in front of him. After all, he planned to sweep through Hanoi County, but was blocked by Wei Gongzi Jiang in the first battle of attacking Shanyang. Moreover, he was blocked by Wei Gongzi Jiang for more than twenty people one after another.

day.

Precisely because he had realized the power of the Wei army in Shanyang, Han general Ju Xin prepared to invest 10,000 soldiers from the beginning of today.

"Send my order! Attack the city!"

Following Ji Xin's order, the horn sound of "Woo-Woo" sounded from the Korean army's array. Immediately, ten thousand-man phalanxes formed in the front row, and those Korean soldiers carried ladders on their backs, guarding one after another.

Jinglan vehicles and siege vehicles advanced slowly towards Shanyang County.

Seeing this, on the east wall of Shanyang County, General Cao Yan raised his hand and shouted: "Crossbowmen on the wall... get ready!"

When giving the order, he glanced at the city wall with some uneasiness, looking at the Shanyang women who were holding crossbows and looking a little pale.

Beside these Shanyang women, the veterans of the Shanyang Army holding shields were comforting and encouraging them in low voices. They were probably telling them that they only needed to concentrate on shooting crossbows, and they would be responsible for killing Han.

The army's offensive was blocked.

But even after being comforted and encouraged by the veterans, the women's movements still seemed extremely stiff.

It's no wonder that although the women in Shanyang County are no strangers to war, in the end they were only responsible for logistics, such as boiling water and cooking for the soldiers of the Shanyang Army. How did they ever go to the battlefield in person?

Gradually, the Korean army outside the city gradually approached the Shanyang City Wall. When the Korean infantry was close to a stone's throw away, the Korean soldiers in the front team, urged by their respective generals, suddenly accelerated their pace and rushed towards the city wall.

Came over.

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."

With his right hand raised, General Cao Yan estimated the distance. Suddenly, his brows frowned because he discovered that on his side of the city wall, hundreds of arrows had been fired sparsely towards the Korean army outside the city.

He turned his head to look around him angrily, only to see the women from Shanyang County not far away from him, who had already fired their crossbow bolts before he gave the order to shoot.

"..." Cao Yan opened his mouth, but in the end, he endured his anger and depression, smiled at the women from Shanyang County, and ordered: "Shoot!"

In fact, he was already feeling cold in his heart, because the first crossbow bolt from Shanyang City Wall failed to cause maximum damage to the Korean army outside the city.

Some inexperienced women from Shanyang County hurriedly fired crossbow bolts when the Korean army had just entered the shooting range, and they were still sparse and diffuse. If the soldiers of the Shanyang Army under his command had done such a thing,

He had already cursed angrily.

But at this time, not only could he not curse, but he also had to encourage those women in Shanyang County who had made mistakes: "You have done a good job! ... Seize the time to load the crossbow arrows."

The first salvo in Shanyang County failed, which meant that the Korean army's offensive against the city wall would be particularly fierce.

"Go ahead——!"

Outside the city, the urging shouts of the Korean generals could be clearly heard. Like a tide, Korean infantry rushed to the city and set up ladders one after another.

"Pour the golden juice!" Cao Yan shouted.

Immediately, a Shanyang County militiaman wearing armor on the city wall poured pots of golden juice over the heads of the Korean troops who climbed up the ladder below the city.

The so-called golden juice is a soup made from human and animal excrement added to water and boiled. It has a certain corrosive effect. Especially after burns, if they are not cleaned in time, the skin will ulcerate within a few days. It can also be called a very vicious poison.

Defense weapons.

"ah!"

Under the city, the screams of the Korean soldiers were heard. After all, the hot golden juice poured on the body was not just a stench. Especially when the hot golden juice accidentally splashed into the eyes, the pain was beyond imagination.

.

But it is a pity that such powerful city defense weapons can only withstand a wave of Korean troops. The Korean troops under the city are still pouring onto the city wall.

"Victory or failure depends on this moment!"

Reciting something silently in his heart, Cao Yan took a deep breath, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted sternly: "Shanyang Army! Don't retreat even one step!"

After hearing this, the Shanyang soldiers on the city wall stepped forward with shields and swords in their hands, as if they wanted to build more walls with their flesh and blood.

Behind them, some people from Shanyang County, holding long-handled spears, pushed a ladder that had been set up on the city wall outwards with the spears in their hands.

"Bang!"

A cloud ladder was pushed down outside the city by the people of Shanyang County on the city wall, causing all the Korean soldiers on the ladder to fall heavily to the ground outside the city.

Seeing this, the people of Shanyang County were very happy, and their morale also increased slightly.

At this moment, a Shanyang Army Chief nearby was heard shouting sternly: "Be careful with the crossbow arrows!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud sound.

Although the Shanyang soldiers with rich combat experience tried their best to use their shields to help the Shanyang people around them resist the arrows, many people were still hit by the Korean crossbow arrows, or even directly hit their vital organs, killing them on the spot.

.

"Be careful to avoid flying arrows!"

The Shanyang Army Chief scolded the bewildered Shanyang County people around him.

It has to be said that with just a wave of crossbow volleys from the Korean army, the gap between the soldiers of Shanyang County and the ordinary people in Shanyang County can be clearly seen: the veterans of the Shanyang Army can even judge the Korean army intuitively.

When the army was about to launch their crossbows, they hid under the wall in advance, or behind Tongze who was holding a shield; but the people of Shanyang County were only happy to overthrow another ladder, and did not care about the threat from above.

He was so unconscious that he was easily reduced due to a wave of arrows.

"Follow my orders!"

A Shanyang Army Chief took over the command of a nearby area and commanded the people of Shanyang County on this section of the city wall.

Under the command of these Shanyang sergeants and veterans, the people of Shanyang County finally calmed down from the commotion caused by the arrow rain. Although they were frightened, they still participated in the battle bravely.

The fighting spirit of the Shanyang people was perhaps the only thing that General Cao Yan admired. If not for the fighting spirit of the Shanyang people to protect their home and family, Cao Yan would not have been willing to bring this group of people who would be a drag on his Shanyang army.

.

"push!"

A Shanyang Army chief and several of his soldiers used shields to form a line of defense to block the Korean soldiers who were trying to attack the city wall. He commanded the people of Shanyang County behind him to attack with spears and other long-handled weapons.

A Korean soldier who was blocked by the shield was pushed down from the city wall.

After several rounds, the voices of the Shanyang Army chiefs who were directing the war started to become hoarse.

But fortunately, the people of Shanyang County are not hothouse flowers who stay away from war all year round. With the assistance of the veterans of the Shanyang Army, the militia members of Shanyang County, both men and women, gradually calmed down and

According to the instructions of the veterans, a famous Korean soldier was pushed off the city wall in an orderly manner.

Even after several baptisms of arrow rain, they also learned how to avoid the arrow rain, which greatly reduced the number of casualties caused by arrows.

Seeing this scene, the veterans of the Shanyang Army praised him repeatedly and continued to encourage the morale of the militiamen.

This is something to be proud of. Apart from the fact that their combat ability is not as good as that of the new recruits of the Wei army, the psychological quality of the people of Shanyang County is much better than that of the new recruits of the Wei army who have never set foot on the front line of the battlefield, so that it did not take long for them to adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield.

The only thing that the Shanyang County militia lacks is that they have not received formal training. As a result, if there are no commanding personnel, they will often be at a loss and not know what to do.

But unfortunately, although the Shanyang County militia's fighting has gradually become regular, the Korean soldiers under the city are by no means weak, especially the Quyang soldiers under Han general Ju Xin, who once drove Dai Rong to Ju Xin

The desert north of the mountain makes it no longer a threat to the powerful army on the Korean border.

"Oops!"

Following the exclamation of a veteran of the Shanyang Army, two Quyang Korean soldiers jumped into the city wall.

"kill!"

A Shanyang lady rushed towards one of the Quyang Han soldiers with a spear raised.

But the Quyang Han soldier did not panic, sideways avoided the spear, waved his sword, and left a blood mark on the Shanyang lady's neck to chest.

"Woman?" Looking at Madam Shanyang who slowly fell to the ground with a look of horror on her face, the Quyang Han soldier frowned slightly.

"mother!"

Not far away, a teenager from Shanyang County, with his eyes wide open and filled with tears, rushed up with several companions to avenge his mother. Unfortunately, after a few seconds, he was killed by that person.

The famous Han soldiers in Quyang were chopped down to the ground.

The gap is too big.

"Damn it!"

A chief of the Shanyang Army cursed secretly, left the city wall, rushed towards the Quyang Han soldier, and fought with the latter.

But another Quyang Korean soldier killed four or five Shanyang militiamen in the blink of an eye.

Is this the difference between the regular army and the militia?

The veteran soldiers of the Shanyang Army can fight one-on-one with the Quyang Korean soldiers, but the militiamen of Shanyang County, with four or five people working together, cannot kill a single Quyang Korean soldier.
