The continuous sound of horns resounded throughout the sky, and the Wuhuan people slowly pushed the cross-cart forward. Further forward, countless soldiers carried shields and sandbags to fill the moat.
"Twenty thousand cavalry were dispatched to suppress the archers on the enemy's wall."
This time, Tadun also had sufficient troops. With a wave of his hand, 20,000 cavalrymen rushed to suppress the archers on the city wall.
"Move out."
Amuda gave the order and took the lead in the charge. Behind him were 20,000 majestic cavalry that surged towards the Yuyang city wall like a wave.
"Shieldhand Defense."
Faced with the enemy's shooting, to be honest, Xu Rong really didn't have a good countermeasure to deal with it. The speed of movement and direction of all the opponent's cavalry was too difficult to predict. If he fired rashly, not only would he not be able to hurt the opponent, but he would also consume his own archers.
physical strength.
Countless shields appeared, covering the entire city wall, ready to resist the enemy's arrow rain offensive.
"Fire the arrow."
After the charge reached a certain level, Amuda directly ordered a hail of arrows to be thrown at the city wall.
A curtain of arrows rose into the sky like a dark cloud, pressing directly towards the head of Yuyang City.
There was a crackling sound, like rain hitting plantains, but after the previous two siege battles, they were still very experienced in dealing with these things.
After the rain of arrows, the archers immediately began to bend their bows and fired death arrows at the enemies who were filling the river. At the same time, the crossbows were pushed up the city wall under the protection of shields and fired at the Wuhuan people below.
The siege battle officially started, and both the city and the city walls were damaged. However, compared to the Youzhou Army, which had been well prepared, the Wuhuan people were still unable to withstand the crossbow attack from the defenders, and the damage was considerable for a while.
It was common for the Wuhuan people to attack the city wall. Even with huge casualties, they still stubbornly filled up the moat in front of them.
"attack."
When Medal saw that the river filling had been completed, he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to start attacking.
Countless Wuhuan people rushed to the front line carrying ladders, and the truck also accelerated and began to charge forward. They had to get to the edge of the city wall in the shortest possible time. Only in this way could they ensure that they would not suffer heavy losses.
Under the circumstances, take down the natural chasm in front of you.
"City Guard Crossbow, shoot those carriages for me."
Xu Rong couldn't help but frowned as he watched the cross-carts move forward slowly. To be honest, although they used to be cautious and didn't dare to be too fierce, this time even if they tried their best, it would be difficult to take down so many cars.
Too weak to do anything.
"promise."
The captain of the city guard's crossbow also felt a little numb, but he still held his fists and accepted the order, commanding the city guard's crossbow to shoot at the moving carriages.
For a moment, bows and arrows were flying, and crossbows were floating in the air. Faced with such an attack, the slowly moving car could only accept the attack while silently moving forward.
"The archers shot at the soldiers on the ladder,"
"Rolling logs and rocks, hit me."
"Golden juice, are the golden juice ready?
When the time is almost up, pour it down for me."
Xu Rong commanded calmly on the city wall, while the soldiers on the city wall also performed their duties and tried their best to stop the enemy.
The war entered a fever pitch from the beginning, with corpses falling from the sky one after another and hitting the ground lifeless.
As the trucks moved further and further forward, three of them had been blown up by volleys, and two more were shaking in the air and were about to disintegrate.
There were two more loud noises, and the two trucks disintegrated in the air again, but the remaining five trucks continued to sway forward.
Finally, when the enemy's carts reached the edge of the city wall, another cart was shot to pieces. The four carts also completed their mission and reached the edge of the city wall.
"Place the tie-board."
Following the centurion's order, the slats on the four carriages instantly opened and hit the city wall directly, making a dull impact.
"Go ahead."
The planks were opened, and the Wuhuan people inside were like tigers coming out of a stream, jumping directly to the city wall, and began to fight with the Youzhou army, which had been prepared for a long time.
"The crossbowmen are ready, let me drive them down."
Xu Rong frowned when he saw that the enemy had four carts reaching the city wall. However, he had also expected this situation, so he moved his crossbowmen to the city wall early in the morning to deal with these Wuhuan soldiers.
.
At one time, thousands of crossbowmen were divided into four groups, with 250 people in each group, and headed for the landing points of the four carriages.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way."
When the crossbowmen arrived, the commander directly shouted to the soldiers in front.
Seeing the crossbowmen coming, the soldiers in the front row who were resisting immediately moved out of the way, allowing the crossbowmen to advance to the front.
"Five-stage shooting, release."
The commander of the village rushed to the front and directly ordered the soldiers to conduct five-stage shooting. Because the Wuhuan people did not kill many people on the building carts, the effect of all shooting was almost the same as the five-stage shooting, and the five-stage shooting lasted for a long time.
Also longer.
"Shield."
Seeing the enemy's crossbowmen approaching, Officer Wuhuan, who was commanding from the front row, directly ordered the soldiers to raise their shields in defense.
A pair of cavalry shields stood in front of the soldiers, but in the face of the incoming crossbow arrows, the shields used by the Han army were a little unable to withstand them, let alone the Wuhuan cavalry shields, which had much lower defensive power.
The cavalry shield blocking the front was directly shot through, and the Wuhuan soldiers behind also fell directly into a pool of blood.
"Don't be afraid, charge and kill those crossbowmen."
Seeing the tragic death of his soldiers, Officer Wuhuan was helpless. After all, his equipment was inferior to others and he was really helpless. All he could do now was to let his soldiers fight with their lives to kill the opponent's crossbowmen.
For a moment, the Wuhuan soldiers rushed out one after another and ran in the direction of the crossbowmen, but they were knocked down to the ground by a series of crossbow arrows.
Red blood flowed from the corpse as if it was free, making the ground extremely sticky, but more Wuhuan soldiers shouted loudly and continued to charge forward.
"Archers, suppress and capture the crossbowmen."
The battle for the front line was extremely fierce, and the archers on the towers also bent their bows and shot arrows, sniping at the crossbowmen below.
"Shield."
Seeing the enemy's bows and arrows coming, the sword and shield soldiers moved forward one after another, covering the tops of the crossbowmen with their shields to protect them from the bows and arrows.
As time went by, although the Wuhuan people suffered heavy casualties, they finally managed to reach the front of the crossbowmen thanks to the casualties of their soldiers.
"The crossbowmen retreated, and the sword and shield soldiers moved forward."
When the captain saw the enemy approaching, he directly ordered the crossbowmen to retreat and ordered the sword and shield soldiers to move forward to engage the enemy in close combat.
The two sides seemed to have collided directly with each other like two red-eyed bulls. For a moment, limbs were flying and blood was flowing freely.
"Wugan, let the elite of your tribe attack the city wall through the carriage."
Seeing the bloody battle on the city wall, Tadun directly asked Wugan's elite to attack the city wall.
"clear."
Wu Gan glanced at Tadun. This was a critical moment. He definitely couldn't show off to Tadun. He saluted directly and then ordered his soldiers to dismount their horses and attack the city wall through the carriages.
"Kerosene, burn the building and the car."
Seeing the enemy fighting so fiercely, Xu Rong frowned and directly ordered the soldiers to burn the enemy's trucks with kerosene.
Hundreds of soldiers carried clay pots filled with kerosene and began to charge forward.
"Archers, snipe the soldiers holding clay pots."
Seeing that the enemy was sending out kerosene again, the commander in charge of the attack directly ordered the archers on the carriages to shoot the soldiers holding kerosene.
The archers who were able to ride on the carriages were all good archers among the Wuhuan people. When they heard the military order, they bent their bows and arrows and began to snipe.
"Shield bearer, protect the fire oil soldiers."
Seeing soldiers holding fire oil cans being shot and killed by enemy archers one after another, a captain directly ordered shield bearers to protect them as they moved forward.
"City Guard Crossbow, shoot the soldiers on the carriages for me."
Seeing the injuries to his soldiers, Xu Rong directly ordered the defenders to shoot them with crossbows.
After receiving the order, the crossbows of the crossbows adjusted their angles one after another, and Cheng Yangjiao began to suppress the archers on the cart.
The half-meter-long crossbow arrows are not easy to deal with. Even if the cart is covered with cowhide and protected by a shield, the crossbow arrows are like paper and are shot straight through.
The hand suffered heavy losses.
"Move forward, move forward, we must open up the situation."
Captain Haer frowned when he saw that the current situation was difficult to open up. If they couldn't kill them now, once the enemy's kerosene was thrown over, their good situation would be ruined.
The Wuhuan soldiers have actually tried their best, but siege warfare is really not what they are good at. Facing the Youzhou Army's sophisticated equipment and stronger morale than them, it would be good if they could not be driven off the city wall. Opening up the situation is indeed
A little difficult.
Despite this situation, the Wuhuan people continued to move forward one after another, fighting with the defenders.
"Retreat, retreat, the kerosene is coming."
Under the protection of the shield bearers, the kerosene soldiers finally reached the front of the formation. The captain in charge directly ordered the soldiers who were fighting with the Wuhuan people to retreat.
Upon hearing this order, the soldiers of the Youzhou Army who were fighting also avoided like poisonous scorpions and retreated like the tide.
"Stick close and don't give them a chance to distance themselves."
When Ha'er saw the enemy retreating, he knew what he was going to face next, so he directly ordered the soldiers to attack without giving the enemy a chance.
The Wuhuan people were not fools either. When the enemy retreated, they pressed directly against them, not giving the Youzhou army a chance to distance themselves.
"what to do?"
A village chief glanced at the captain, his eyes filled with hesitation.
"Throw it, throw it towards the back of the crowd, blocking the soldiers and horses behind them, and the remaining soldiers and horses are ready to strangle the enemies who rush into the formation."
The captain saw that the enemy was approaching and it was impossible for the soldiers to retreat, so he directly and decisively ordered the soldiers to block the enemy's follow-up troops.
"promise."
Upon hearing the captain's order, the soldiers holding the cans of fire oil used all their strength to throw the clay pots in their hands.
