Chapter 1186 Siege(1/2)

 "Kill!"

At the foot of Lu'an City, groups of Wu soldiers carried long light ladders and rushed towards the city wall.

The defenders on the city rained arrows down like rain, but they still could not stop the crazy pace of the enemy troops below the city.

The arrow pierced the unprepared neck of Sergeant Wu, and the soldier who was hit by the arrow subconsciously covered his neck.

The cry of killing that had surged into his throat was suddenly blocked, and the unlucky soldier staggered a few steps and then fell to the ground.

His hands and feet were still twitching, but his vitality was rapidly draining away.

His colleagues had no time to care about him. Several pairs of feet stepped on his side, and those who came late didn't even have time to see who was on the ground.

"Quick, follow up!"

The small colonel holding the wooden shield saw that there were a few fewer people carrying the light ladder, and quickly ordered the people behind to make up for it.

Compared to the soldier who was killed by an arrow and shot in the thigh, unable to move forward and could only kneel on the ground and howl, he seemed luckier.

But this luck is temporary.

If this wave of siege can successfully build a ladder on the city wall, he might have a chance to be sent back to the rear.

But if he retreats like the previous times, he may have died of excessive blood loss by the time both sides clear up the battlefield.

Following the light echelon was Ling Che, who was pushed forward by dozens or even hundreds of strong men.

In these days of siege, Zhuge Ke had already had people bulldoze all the obstacles outside the south gate of Lu'an.

The chariot with a wheel chassis is slowly being pushed near the city wall.

Accompanying the approaching car is a rushing car made of huge logs.

This was used to ram the city gates - and if the wall was defective, it could also be used to ram the weak points of the wall.

Wen Qin pressed his right hand tightly on the hilt of the sword, eyes glaring.

If it weren't for the preciousness of the cavalry and the fact that the number of soldiers in the city was far inferior to that of Wu's army, he would have been unable to hold back and lead his men out personally.

"Fire the arrow! Don't stop!"

Seeing that a light ladder finally started to climb up the city wall, Wen Qin couldn't help it anymore.

He grabbed a bow and aimed at the general who was holding a round shield and directing Wu's soldiers to build a ladder.

"go to hell!"

Following his roar, arrows shot like lightning towards the primary school he was targeting.

The Wu Jun primary school commander did not expect to be shot with a cold arrow. The small round shield could not protect his body, and the arrow went straight to his face.

I heard him scream miserably, and his face was bleeding profusely. He fell to the ground, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Wen Qin's arrow made the soldiers around him cheer loudly.

But this move could not stop more and more Wu troops from setting up light ladders towards the city gate.

The light ladder is very long, exceeding the height of the city wall.

The advantage is that it is lightweight, suitable for any terrain, and fast to make.

The disadvantage is that it does not have any protection, and it is a bit life-consuming to use it to attack a city.

Long light ladders were erected to the top of the city. Some light ladders were equipped with huge hooks at the top, which hooked tightly to the parapet at the top of the city, making it impossible for the defenders to push it away.

And even if it is a light ladder without hooks, it is not easy to push it open with your hands alone.

With such a long ladder, if you want to push it down from the top of the city with both hands, you will need at least two meters of arms.

But this was not a problem for Wei Jun.

The Wei army defenders who had been prepared long ago raised their spears, which were more than two feet long, and pushed them against the light ladder.

The leading soldier looked at the eager soldier Wu who had climbed halfway, and then shouted:

"Refuse!"

"drink!"

Wei Jun, who was holding a fork gun, shouted loudly, and with all their strength, they pushed the light ladder out in one fell swoop.

After being pushed out, the light ladder was two feet away from the city wall. Coupled with the inertia, it was almost at an angle of 90 degrees with the ground.

In addition, Wu Bing on the ladder was shaking from side to side, and the ladder finally failed to hold up and began to fall in the opposite direction.

The Wu soldiers on the ladder screamed in horror and fell down one after another like ants.

Ants attack the city, ants attack the city, that’s what it means.

The soldiers were like ants, clinging to ladders and climbing up to attack the city.

But this time, Wu Jun was obviously serious about it, and it was not a test attack like the previous few days.

Moreover, compared with the densely packed Wu troops below the city that were constantly rushing up, the Wei troops at the top of the city were much smaller.

This was not because Wen Qin did not want all the defenders in the city to go to the top of the city, but because the top of the city could not accommodate too many soldiers.

Because the garrison at the top of the city is not that the more the better, but that they are particular about it.

Basically, one person is arranged at one step, and a few more people are added about ten steps away to prepare. Those who hold up the fork and gun and push the light ladder are the preparation team.

If the number of soldiers at the top of the city is too dense, not only will it be difficult to move, but it will also be difficult to deploy long and short weapons, which may accidentally injure one's own people.

Only when there is a shortage of support at the head of the city, the garrison on standby at the base of the city will be mobilized to support.

As more and more light ladders approached, it was obvious that the Wei soldiers holding fork-guns could not push them over.

Some of Wu's soldiers had already crawled to a place less than ten feet away from the top of the city.

"Smash!"

There was a loud shouting coming from nowhere, but stones and trees were falling from the top of the city like raindrops.

"ah!"

As a shrill cry rang out, Wu Bing, who was at the top of the light ladder, screamed miserably. He was hit by a stone and could no longer hold on to the ladder, so he turned over and fell down.

What's even worse is that after someone was hit, they subconsciously wanted to grab something, but they didn't fall directly.

Instead, he tumbled down the ladder, and the unlucky guy following him got a jerk, and his neck was pressed into a weird angle.

The two of them became ghosts with the same fate.

Those with more experience, sensing something was wrong with the people above them, would have already put their heads close to the ladder and clung to the ladder tightly, trying to avoid being implicated.

This wave of operations by the defenders at the top of the city stopped the Wu army's offensive.

Before Wen Qin, who was guarding the tower, smiled, he suddenly felt a shock on his feet, and at the same time a huge sound came:

"boom!"

It turned out that the ram pushing Wu Jun had been pushed to the city gate, and Wu's soldiers pushed the huge ram and started to rush into the city gate.

Although he knew that the city gate was very thick and could not be broken open by ordinary rush vehicles, Wen Qin felt a faint numbness coming from the soles of Feng's feet and was still a little worried.

I saw him shout loudly:

"Get off the stone mill!"

The Wei troops guarding the city gate shouted in unison, pushed out the huge stone mill that had been prepared, and smashed it at the Wu army outside the city gate.

Wu Jun, who was rushing towards the city gate, felt something strange above him. As soon as he raised his head, he saw a huge shadow falling from the sky.

Before they could see what it was, the stone mill fell down.

Wu Jun, who had no time to avoid, was smashed to pieces on the spot.

Some have lost their heads, leaving only their bodies.

Some of the upper parts of the body were gone, leaving only the area below the waist.

But I saw red and white splashed all over the car.

The sticky liquid is mixed with unknown large and small lumpy objects.

Even though it was a thick log, a gap was created by the stone mill, and sawdust flew away.

"pull!"

The soldier who stretched out his neck and saw the miserable condition of the Wu army below grinned and gave instructions loudly.

"One, two, get up!"

The Wei soldiers holding thick ropes at the top of the city shouted slogans and began to exert force.

Although using iron chains instead of thick ropes may be stronger, it will also increase the weight and make it more difficult to pull up.

The most important thing is that iron is very important and there is no need to use this place.

The stone mill, which was stained with unknown objects like logs, began to rise slowly.

The Wu soldiers who had escaped were almost frightened when they saw Shimo being pulled up again. They fled in all directions and did not dare to push the cart to continue crashing into the city gate.

The Wei soldiers on the city ignored them, but pulled the stone mill to a certain height and lowered it again.

This happened again and again, and finally the rush car could no longer hold up.

Katcha!
