On the wall of Chen County, more than ten huge crossbows have been pushed to the female wall.
"Buckle~~crossbow!"
Peng Tuo finally recovered from the huge shock. With an order, more than a hundred yellow turban soldiers were divided into more than ten teams, each team had more than ten people. Amidst the uniform chants, they worked together to launch more than ten crossbows.
The crossbow arm is fully drawn so that the crossbow string is buckled on the crossbow machine.
"Fill the crossbow!"
Peng Tuo roared, and soldiers had already loaded extra-large crossbow arrows, which were as thick as spears, into the bed crossbow.
“Let it go~~”
"Buzz buzz~~"
Amidst the deafening huge trembling, there were waves of sharp screams, and more than ten huge crossbow arrows were shot out from the bed crossbow like lightning. In a flash, they shot through the bamboo couplets directly in front of the ladder, and the ladder
Immediately, there was a continuous pitiful howl under the feet, and the forward momentum of the ladder suddenly stopped.
"Um!?"
As the siege elite reared up, Zuo Aoran's eyes turned cold and he said solemnly: "Don't stop, keep moving forward!"
"My lord has an order, don't stop, keep going~~" Wen Chou immediately spurred his horse forward.
A long and shrill howl resounded through the sky...
"Oh~"
"Oh~"
"Oh~"
The huge ladder paused for a few breaths and slowly moved forward again. At this time, the ladder was less than a hundred steps away from the Chen County city wall!
"Buckle~~crossbow!"
Peng Tuo howled miserably again, and the Yellow Turban bandit once again fully loaded the crossbow arm and was about to fasten the crossbow string to the crossbow machine when something unexpected happened. The dozens of bed crossbows had not been used for a long time, and the crossbow arms were rotten, so they were fired.
After one round, they couldn't bear the huge force and broke one after another.
"Deputy Commander, the bed crossbow has been in disrepair for a long time and is no longer suitable for use!" The Yellow Turban leader's face changed drastically and he yelled.
"Grandma, you're such a bastard. The damn officers and soldiers don't even protect the weapons used to defend the city!" Thinking in his mind, Peng Tuo cursed in his mouth: "What the hell are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and throw away the ash bottles, cannons, and rolling logs.
"Zushi, why don't you wait for the army to come over and kill you!" Peng Tuo roared wildly.
The leader of the Yellow Turban took half a step back and said in a loud voice: "Deputy Commander, the ladders of the army and the army are too far apart, and rolling logs and stones can't hit them~~"
"Uh~" Peng Tuo was speechless for a moment, and after a while he came back to his senses and shouted: "Where's the sharp archer?"
In an instant, hundreds of Yellow Turban Army archers swarmed up the city wall and fired arrows at the slowly approaching ladder. Unfortunately, the arrows could not penetrate the bamboo couplets, and the embroidered couplets were connected piece by piece.
It wraps the entire ladder tightly like a shield.
"Oh~"
"Oh~"
Although the ladder was slow but unstoppable, it approached the city wall. In less than half an hour, it finally reached the foot of the spear wall. The ladder's sloping front wall was almost in contact with the slightly backward wall! Peng Tuo let out a sound.
On the order, the rolling stones were closed and the wood was fired, and they continuously hit the embroidered couplets on the front wall and side walls of the ladder. However, the Yellow Turbans' attacks to this extent were not enough to pose a fatal threat to the ladder.
"Woooooo~~"
Wen Chou's cheeks suddenly puffed up, and the low-pitched horn sound suddenly became louder and more exciting. Zuo Aoran moved his hand, and the three thousand fine cavalry split like waves and flashed to both sides of the official road. Where the three thousand fine cavalry dispersed,
Thousands of Taiping battalion elite soldiers from Lei Xu came like a tidal wave and rushed towards the ladder.
Fierce murderous intent spreads endlessly in front of the Chen County city wall~~~~
The huge "ghost" finally stuck tightly to the city wall of Chen County. All the Yellow Turban defenders, including Peng Tuo, were helpless and could only look at the "siege ladder" and sigh. Such a huge thing could not be pushed down.
It cannot be smashed or burned, and most importantly, everyone will feel at a loss when faced with unknown things they have never seen before.
Even if the Yellow Turban Army's General Tiangong, General Digong, and General Renggong are here, they may not be able to turn the tide, let alone the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves led by Peng Tuo, a loser!
"Abet abet~~"
"Uh-huh~~"
A small group of archers from the Marksman Battalion emerged from the platform at the top of the ladder like ghosts. From a high position, they began to fire arrows at the Yellow Turban defenders on the city wall. In an instant, more than a dozen Yellow Turban thieves fell to the ground after being struck by arrows, wailing.
The sound continued. Although the dozens of archers could not inflict a devastating blow to the Yellow Turban bandits on the city wall, they were enough to cause a small commotion and buy the elite Taiping battalion who were seizing the city a little time to charge.
The yellow turban defenders who were guarding behind the female wall began to retreat in a chaotic manner, while the yellow turban sword and shield soldiers rushed forward to form an array under the scoldings of the leaders. In response, the yellow turban thief archers also began to change their targets, and left the Zuo family on the ladder.
The archers of the army started shooting at each other. Although the archers of Zuo's army were in a commanding position, their number was too small and they were gradually killed one by one by the yellow bandit archers on the city wall.
"Boom~~"
At this moment, the front wall of the ladder that was higher than the city wall suddenly fell forward, and the criss-crossing bamboo joints were exposed. The ground almost level with the city wall was also covered with bamboo couplets. It turned out to be another platform! Lei Xu
One thousand and two hundred elite soldiers stepped on bamboo couplets to build a tunnel and swarmed up to the top of the city like a tide!
"Kill~~"
Lei Xu chopped down a small yellow turban boss with one knife, raised his knife to the sky, raised his arms and howled loudly.
"kill!"
One thousand two hundred elite soldiers, like tigers and wolves, climbed up the ladder and rushed to the top of the city. They launched a tidal wave of attacks on the yellow turban defenders on the city wall. The elites of these 1,200 Taiping battalions were all young, strong and physically fit.
Wearing thick armor and holding sharp spears, the Yellow Turban defenders on the city wall did not have an advantage in strength. Moreover, they did not go through battle formations and were not professional soldiers. They were just makeshift rebels composed of farmers, ruffians, and scoundrels. They defeated them all like wolves.
Like a tiger, once it enters an adverse situation, its combat effectiveness is almost zero. In addition, the huge ladder casts a shadow in the minds of the Yellow Turban bandits, resulting in low morale, so they were defeated as soon as they entered the battle.
A Yellow Turban leader drew his sword and beheaded two retreating soldiers in succession, shouting loudly: "Those who retreat before the battle~~Behead!"
"Hey~"
A sharp arrow shot through the air, and with blood splashing, it penetrated directly from the left eye of the Yellow Turban leader and exited from the back of the head. The sharp arrow clusters still shone with an icy cold light. The Yellow Turban leader raised his right arm high in the air and jerked
After a pause, his fingers loosened and the long sword fell to the ground with a clang. Then his body swayed twice and fell to the ground slumped.
Not far away, Lei Xu put away his iron bow indifferently, and said one cold word from between his teeth: "Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
One thousand and two hundred elite soldiers fought bravely to take the lead, and the Yellow Turban defenders of Chen County were defeated like a mountain. In less time than a cup of tea, the city wall had changed hands, and the Yellow Turban rebels lost their leader and lost their last sense of resistance. They scrambled for their lives in a chaotic manner, but they ran away
Did they die? Their misfortune has just begun...
"Open the city gate! Welcome the lord's cavalry into the city~~" Lei Xu gave the order.
Dozens of Taiping elites swarmed forward and began to turn the winch.
"Gah~gah~gah~"
Amidst the harsh sound of gears, the heavy subway gate finally slowly rose. The gate of Chen County was finally completely opened to the Red Scarf Army! Zuo Aoran swung the stabbing spear in his hand forward heavily, and the three thousand elite cavalry behind him moved toward them like wind and lingering clouds.
The city gates of Chen County came to cover the city, and the chaotic subway hooves rapped mercilessly on the cold official road.
