Seeing the enemy's clay pot soldiers coming out, the captain in charge was also a little depressed. Now he finally understood why Zhang He had to remove the crossbows from the city defense and replace them with archers. The mission of these people was to shoot these soldiers.
Soldier's.
"Everyone formed a semicircle to protect the truck. I tried my best to stop them."
At the same time, he gave an order, and the Jianzhong troops who had just climbed onto the city wall returned to the defense and began to use the building boards as a fulcrum to guard against the enemy's attack.
"rush."
The soldiers of the Jianzhong Army wanted to keep the building car, but the Fuchuan garrison knew the consequences of letting the enemy guard the building car. Now it has become a situation of life or death, so they started to attack regardless of their own safety, and the only way to do it was to knock down the enemy's building car.
Only by car can they defend the city wall.
For a while, the two armies fought in a melee, and the sky was dark again. Countless soldiers fell immediately, and the flower of blood bloomed again.
Although the elite Jianzhong Army fought hard enough, and the archers on the roof of the building also shot arrows and sniped desperately, they were still outnumbered. Facing the numerical advantage of the Fuchuan defenders, they were still somewhat difficult to resist.
"Mingjin withdraws the troops."
Seeing the current situation, Zhang He knew that these carriages could not be saved, so he could only order Jin Jin to withdraw his troops.
"Dang Dang Dang."
A series of golden sounds resounded through the sky, and the golden sound was directly transmitted to the city wall.
"withdraw."
The captain in charge of the siege was stunned when he heard the sound of ringing gold, but he also knew that this was not the time to hesitate, so he gave the order directly, and the Jianzhong Army who was still fighting began to retreat quickly along the stairs.
"Throw the oil can."
As soon as Yuan Shu's army withdrew, the pressure on the Fuchuan defenders was no longer so great. They broke through the obstruction of the remaining soldiers and reached the vicinity of the building and carriage.
Clay pots fell from the sky one after another, hitting the truck directly, and the pungent smell of kerosene shot through the sky.
"Run quickly."
"Jump directly to the lower part to save time."
"Above, acceleration, block acceleration."
The smell of kerosene was so strong that the captain immediately became frightened. When they came to kill them, the burned car was still vivid in his mind, but he didn't expect that it would be his turn in an instant.
After hearing the captain's order, the soldiers below had no time to hesitate and jumped directly from the building cart. Firstly, the enemy's fire attack could come at any time, and secondly, they would make room for a better escape route for Paoze above.
Soldiers fell from the sky one by one. Some were lucky enough to land safely, while others fell directly on their heads and died on the spot. However, if so, soldiers continued to fall.
"set fire."
The order to set fire was conveyed, and countless torches fell from the sky and directly hit the building car.
"call."
Fierce flames shot up into the sky, and ten carriages were set alight at the same time.
"Shoot them, keep shooting."
At this time, the archers on top of the building car did not evacuate, but were still resolutely sniping at the enemy to buy time for their brothers.
As the flames burned bigger and bigger, the soldiers at the top of the tower had no hope of escaping, and their way down was completely blocked.
"Brothers, I harmed everyone."
A team leader glanced at the fire at his feet, and there was a trace of shame on the team leader's face.
"Boss, there is no harm. Since I dare to come up here, I don't want to go back alive. If I die, the three brothers and two sisters in the family will not have to worry."
"Well, it's worth it if I die and my whole family lives."
"Haha, isn't it just a small life?
I killed five today, it was worth it."
Each archer glanced at the team leader, and no one had any regrets.
First, because the welfare benefits and pensions of the Jizhou Army are very good. It can be said that if one person dies in battle, the children in the family will basically not have to worry about growing up.
The second is that the Jizhou Army has never been afraid of death. Death is glorious, so being shrouded in horse leather is a good destination for them.
As the flames continued to burn, the towers finally began to collapse, disintegrate, and finally turned into ashes.
Having learned the lesson from the first time, Zhang He promptly called for gold and retreated his troops the second time. Although all the carriages were destroyed, most of the soldiers who boarded the city wall got off the city wall alive. Although some were seriously injured, at least they were not injured.
My life is all under the city wall.
"we won."
"Won."
"The Jizhou army is no match for me."
Looking at Yuan Shu's army slowly retreating, the Fuchuan defenders on the city wall all cheered loudly. After all, they were able to repel the invincible Jizhou elite soldiers. This proved that they were not as weak as they thought, and the Jizhou army was also human, and was not as weak as imagined.
So strong.
"Trebuchets, kerosene bullets, smash them for me."
Seeing Zhang He withdrawing with his troops, Yuan Shu did not sit idle this time and directly ordered trebuchets to attack the city wall.
"My lord has ordered us to attack the city wall with trebuchets and kerosene shells."
Yuan Shu's order was immediately conveyed to the trebuchet troops.
"All were replaced with kerosene shotguns, fired five times in a row, and strafed the city wall."
Since Yuan Shu issued such an order, he had nothing to hesitate and directly ordered the soldiers to pull out the kerosene bullets that had been prepared.
"The kerosene bombs are ready."
"put."
A sound was heard, and fifty trebuchets were launched at the same time. This time it was not a black barrage, but a sea of fire, and a barrage like a burning cloud appeared above the Bucheon city wall.
"Spread out, spread out."
"Down to the city wall."
"Hurry up."
Seeing the rain of bullets appearing above his head, Lu Bu couldn't help but slap his forehead. How could he forget that the enemy had retreated and the trebuchet could attack again.
Seeing the kerosene bombs appearing in front of them, and listening to Lu Bu's shouts, the city wall that had been cheering for joy just now became extremely panicked, and everyone began to choose their own way to escape under the city wall.
"Peng"
"ah."
"Help."
When the shotguns fell, the city wall instantly turned into a sea of fire. The Fuchuan city wall that had just repelled Yuan Shujun instantly turned into a Shura field. Purgatory-like scenes were everywhere. The Fuchuan defenders who failed to escape from the city wall were not shot by shotguns.
To be smashed to death means to be set on fire by the flames all over the ground, and to scream in the fire.
The soldiers on the city wall were going through hell, but the soldiers who escaped down the city wall felt like they were surviving a disaster. They huddled under the city wall and at the corners, trembling in places where shotguns could not reach them.
"General, you said that the enemy was repulsed this time. Will they continue to attack next or will they cease their attack?"
Shiwu looked at Lu Bu in the city gate. This was his first battle with Yuan Shu's army. He didn't understand the fighting methods of the Jizhou army at all, so he was not sure whether the enemy would continue to attack or stop fighting.
"Based on my understanding of Yuan Shu, he still cherishes his soldiers. Now he also knows our determination and combat power to defend the city. I think he will choose to rest temporarily before there is a better way to attack the city.
"
Lu Bu glanced at Shiwu, thought for a while and then gave his own thoughts.
"That's okay, that's okay."
Hearing Lu Bu's words, the soldiers were relieved. After all, although this siege battle lasted only a short time, the damage on both sides was not much at all. The tragic battle conditions made it difficult for many soldiers to adapt.
Yuan Shu lost hundreds of ladder trucks and twenty floor trucks here, and the Jianzhong Army suffered more than 5,000 casualties. As for the Jiaozhou Allied Forces defending the city, their losses were even greater than Yuan Shu's troops.
In fact, the biggest damage here was caused by the trebuchet attack. More than 4,000 of the 7,000 people killed were killed by the trebuchets, and less than 3,000 people died at the hands of Jianzhong Army soldiers.
"Lord, Zhang He is guilty, please punish him."
"My lord, Zang Ba is guilty, please punish him."
Zhang He and Zang Ba came to Yuan Shu and knelt down on one knee to apologize to him.
"How could I be guilty? I had long thought that Fuchuan would be difficult to fight, but I didn't expect that it would be such a hard nut to crack. Let's take a good rest."
Yuan Shu shook his head. He originally thought that this battle would not be difficult. After all, the soldiers in Jiaozhou had not experienced a big war, so their combat effectiveness was definitely not high. Lu Bu's elite soldiers had been beaten to a loss, but he did not expect that these Jiaozhou soldiers would not be very difficult.
The soldiers taught themselves a good lesson.
"Thank you, Lord."
"Thank you, Lord."
The two looked at each other, clasped their fists, and went behind Yuan Shu. At the same time, the main attacking Jianzhong Army and the secondary attacking Xuzhou Army also slowly retreated into the main army.
"Lord, I suggest you take a short break. The enemy's current idea is to adopt the idea of breaking one to defend one. They allow us to use ladders to attack the city, but do not allow our trucks to approach. In this case, it will be difficult for our troops to spread out. If we want to take advantage of
If we lower the city wall, we can only use human lives to fill the holes. This can make up for the shortcomings of their small number of soldiers and low elite level to the greatest extent."
Chen Gong glanced at Fuchuan City in front of him. To be honest, the enemy's approach was indeed their best defense measure at the moment. After all, it would be very difficult for him to scale such a high city wall and capture them without a car.
"Lord, next I suggest that the Xuzhou Army take the lead and attack the city wall again."
After hearing Chen Gong's analysis, Zang Ba couldn't help but show a ferocious look, and came directly to Yuan Shu to ask for his order to fight again.
"Tell me what you think. I don't want soldiers to make fearless sacrifices. Now that the carriages are gone, we can only rely on ladders to attack. What are you going to do?"
Yuan Shu glanced at Zang Ba, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, wondering what Zang Ba's plan was.
"Lord, if the enemy wants to do this, I will fight them for consumption and fearlessness. What I want is not to stop the trebuchet when the army attacks, and continue to attack the city wall. In this case, although the enemy has more soldiers and horses than us,
Facing the trebuchet attack, they will inevitably suffer greater casualties than us. In this case, there is still hope to capture the Bucheon City Wall."
Zang Ba also found a unique way and adopted the method of reverse thinking. Since you, Lu Bu, think so, then I will give you a try. Anyway, you have many people on the wall. If a trebuchet hits them, they will definitely die.
There were more people than him, so he wanted to see if the opponent could withstand the attack of the trebuchet.
"Zang Ba's idea is good. The opponent's advantage is that there are more people on the city wall than us. If the trebuchet really participates in the attack, there is still hope to defeat the enemy."
Tian Feng thought for a moment and agreed with Zang Ba's idea. You, Lu Bu, have made up your mind to use the more to bully the less, so I will find a way to close this gap for you.
"Then give it a try. If things don't work out, then simply step back and don't show off. It's only a matter of time before you want to win Jiaozhou. Do you understand?"
"Zang Ba understands. Since the lord agrees, I am ready to send troops."
Zang Ba is not a reckless person, and he doesn't know what the result of his idea will be, so he just gives it a try.
