A stone bullet soared into the sky. After a short flight, it hit the edge of the gap. With a click, another meter of the city wall was completely destroyed. The ambush soldiers behind had no time to scream and were buried. They could not die anymore.
died.
"Turn east for a moment and continue the attack."
"Scholar, change the ammunition and attack with Nightmare."
The lieutenant responsible for commanding the trebuchets became more and more professional after several battles. He used nightmares as his main force and scholars as his assistant, concentrating his firepower to attack the gap.
After another series of rain of stone bullets, the original ten-meter gap gradually widened, and finally it was blown into a huge gap of more than forty meters.
"Brother, Yuan Shu's main attack direction seems to be at the gap."
Gongsun Yue ran from the gap. The solid armor was full of gaps, all of which were made by scattered stones.
"I am allocating five thousand elite troops to you. The gap must be defended by me. Even if I only repel Yuan Shu's attack once, it will be considered a victory."
Hearing Gongsun Yue's words, Gongsun Zan also frowned.
He only has 20,000 troops and horses at his disposal now. He just asked Gongsun Yue to bring 5,000 troops and horses, and now he has sent another 5,000 troops to go over. He has only 10,000 troops and horses under his command now. To defend such a large city wall,
The troops were finally stretched thin.
"promise."
Half an hour has passed, and Yuan Shu's trebuchet has not stopped yet, but the Polu army and the Xiliang army have already stepped on the trebuchet's stone bullets, carried the ladder, and pushed the tower to launch an attack.
"Lord, Yuan Shu has begun to attack the city."
Gongsun Zan's observers who stayed at the top of the city saw Yuan Shu's troop movements and immediately went down to the city to report to Gongsun Zan.
"Everyone is ready. Listen to my command and go up to the city wall."
Hearing that Yuan Shu started to attack, Gongsun Zan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the war finally began in earnest.
"Lord, they are still three hundred steps away from the city."
"Lord, they have started filling in the moat."
"Lord, the moat has been filled in."
The observer reported Yuan Shujun's movements step by step to Gongsun Zan.
"Lord, the trebuchet has stopped, it has stopped."
As Yuan Shu's army filled up the moat, the continuous trebuchets finally misfired. If the attack continued like this, everything would be destroyed.
"Go up the city wall, go up the city wall quickly."
When he heard the trebuchet stopped, Gongsun Zan roared loudly, and nearly 10,000 troops under his command rushed up the city wall, preparing to fight Yuan Shu's army.
"What the hell?"
This was the first impression that all Gongsun Zan's soldiers had when they arrived at the city wall, because standing in front of them were nearly forty towers. At first glance, they looked like a moving city wall standing in front of them.
Forty towers. There are forty archers standing on each tower. Forty towers means fifteen or six hundred archers.
It would have been fine in normal times, but now they only had more than 10,000 troops. Facing the suppression of nearly 2,000 archers, it was really difficult.
"Baima Yi obeys and suppresses them."
Gongsun Zan still has many white-horse followers. These people are unparalleled in bows and horses, and they are more than enough to become archers now.
Baima Yicong and the archers on the tower suffered casualties on both sides, but Yuan Shu's side not only had towers, but also countless ladders.
Aerial ladders were set up on the broken city wall of Yuyang City, and a Polu soldier began to separate and climb with a steel knife between his teeth.
"Knock them down."
Gongsun Zan commanded his soldiers and horses to fight, but Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were too many, and the Polu army went crazy and pressed forward with the whole army, trying to capture them all in one go.
"Big axe, break the ladder for me."
"Rolling stones and wood, smash them for me."
"Hot oil, hot oil, there's nothing left, smash the pot down."
It only took Gongsun Zan a few minutes to go from being calm at the beginning to becoming furious.
"Build the plank and put it down."
As the tower approached the city wall, all the iron slats were put down on the Yuyang City. Soldiers of the Polu army roared from the tower to the city wall one after another, and fought hand to hand with Gongsun Zan's army at close range.
If Gongsun Zan could resist just the ladder, the situation would get out of control as soon as the tower slabs were opened.
The function of the forty towers is not only to suppress the arrow tower at the top of the city, but its most important function is to transport troops.
Forty ladders are forty troop transport channels, and there are forty soldiers entering the city every second. This troop transport speed has far exceeded the defensive capabilities of Gongsun Zan's army.
As more and more Polu troops climbed to the top of the city through the tower, Gongsun Zan's army could no longer take care of both ends. The more soldiers on the tower, the more soldiers and horses on the ladder side climbed to the top of the city.
Gradually, Gongsun Zan's army at the head of Yuyang City had an absolute advantage at the beginning, then became evenly matched, and then finally the Polu army had an advantage in battle.
Baima Yicong gave up suppressing the Polu army when they entered the city, and instead used his sword to join in hand-to-hand combat. Even so, Gongsun Ze's defeat was irreversible.
"Sir, we can't stop it anymore. We can't stop it anymore."
A white horse boy came to Gongsun Zan from the military academy, his face full of anxiety.
"If you can't stop them, you have to stop them. Beat them down. Beat them down."
Gongsun Zan did not believe in his failure. He had been a victorious general for more than 20 years in the army. The failure to attack Jizhou could be classified as an off-site battle, but now he had no reason to fail and no way to retreat.
"kill."
Gongsun Zan gritted his teeth, raised his gun and rushed out. With a fierce movement like a tiger, he knocked a dozen soldiers off the city wall, but his move also exposed himself in an instant.
"Discover Gongsun Zan, discover Gongsun Zan."
"Encircle and annihilate Gongsun Zan, quickly."
"Seize Gongsun Zan, everyone, come forward."
Like sharks smelling the fishy smell, the Polu army began to besiege Gongsun Zan's location.
"Protect the lord."
Baima Yicong, who was guarding Gongsun Zan, felt the pressure soaring in an instant. The people on the outermost edge were cut into pieces in an instant. Although they tried their best to kill the Polu army, more Polu troops continued to follow.
Killings are coming from all directions.
"Brothers, now is the time for us to show off. If we want the lord to look at us favorably, we have to risk our lives. Are you afraid?"
As the Xiliang army advanced, Xu Rong shouted loudly at the Xiliang soldiers behind him.
"I'm afraid of an egg ball. I chopped off more than a dozen heads during the Xiliang Army, so I'm afraid of these little brats."
"Is there more than a dozen? I killed no less than twenty people in the battle at Sishui Pass. You are just a younger brother."
"Haha, old tail, if I blow you, that thing below you won't be able to hang on, and it will fly into the sky."
The Xiliang army under Xu Rong's command are all Dong Zhuo's elite, veterans of hundreds of battles who have experienced life and death. Their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of Yuan Shu's main army. If you want to prove yourself now, let's trade the lives of the enemies.
