Chapter seven hundred and forty seventh endless battle
Chapter 747 The fight never ends
The Tiger Army had just gone through a bloody battle and needed to take a break, so Yuan Shu chose to send Xu Huang as the main attacker to attack the city wall.
"Dong dong dong."
The war drums sounded again, shaking the sky, and after Xu Huang received the general's order, he directly led 20,000 Hengye troops and 20,000 militiamen, and the four square formations began to advance towards Dantu City.
"Yuan Shu is marching, hurry, hurry, prepare to defend."
Hearing the sound of war drums, Cao Hong jumped up from the wall and shouted at his troops.
Hearing Cao Hong's shouts, Cao's troops on the city wall were instantly activated, and they all jumped up to prepare for defensive operations.
"Trebuchet, suppress."
It was still the same routine, with trebuchets opening the way to suppress the city wall, but Cao Hong also learned the lesson this time and gave up the fight for the moat, because they couldn't resist at all, and they might also cause greater losses to themselves.
The Yokoye Army smoothly followed the path created by the Tiger Army and rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and then all the ladders were set up on the city wall.
"Charging the city, the trebuchets suppress the city walls at any time, and the carriages move forward."
Without hesitation, Xu Huang directly ordered the Hengye Army to attack the city. Wen Chou's routine just now was very useful, so he also chose the same measure.
Countless soldiers of the Yokoye Army began to charge towards the wall with steel knives in their mouths. At the same time, the accompanying trebuchets also began to suppress any archers who might appear on the wall.
"Bring the new equipment to me and throw it at me."
This time Cao Hong was also prepared. He had just brought up the reserve of thunder stones and rolling logs, and then directly ordered them to smash them down.
One after another, the soldiers of the Hengye Army were hit with bloody heads and fell from the ladder. Even so, it was difficult to resist their determination to rush through the wall.
Both sides are fighting for their lives, but in terms of morale, the Yokoye army as the siege side is stronger.
"Put out the kerosene."
Now Cao Hong doesn't care about the future anymore. He can fight back one wave at a time.
Clay pots fell from the sky one after another and hit the ground, and jet-black kerosene poured out instantly.
"Half of them buried the kerosene with sandbags, and the rest continued to attack."
Learning from the past, Xu Huang's losses this time were not great, so he still had plenty of sandbags stored, but he still had to prevent Cao Hong's second wave of kerosene offensive.
The dust was flying, and the sandbags were cut open one by one, and the yellow sand inside poured out to cover the kerosene underneath.
After the kerosene, countless torches ignited the kerosene under the city wall again, but the effect was not very great, and the Yokoye army continued to attack the city.
"Keep throwing kerosene and let's see how many sandbags they can bring."
Seeing that the first wave of kerosene was ineffective, Cao Hong directly ordered the second wave of kerosene to be thrown.
"Bury it, bury it quickly."
To be honest, water is useless when it comes to kerosene. You can only use sand and soil.
Sure enough, the effect was the same as last time, the kerosene returned without success again, and the Yokoye army continued to charge selflessly.
But this time, Cao Hong had many soldiers and horses on the city wall, and Hengye's army was unable to open up the situation. However, even so, Hengye's army relied on its perseverance to attack the city wall.
"kill."
The Yokoye troops who had climbed to the top of the city roared loudly, and were thrown off the city wall just as they were about to deploy. However, after him, more Yokoye troops jumped up and charged towards the top of the city.
"Shoot them down."
Cao Hong slashed away the Hengye army that had just rushed up with his sword, and then roared loudly at the soldiers behind him.
Cao's army was also brave and tried their best to fight against the Hengye army who climbed to the top of the city. Some even jumped off the city wall with Hengye army in their arms.
"The carriage is coming."
A team leader pointed at the slowly approaching building truck and shouted loudly at Cao Hong.
"City Guard Crossbow, hurry up to the city wall and shoot down their carriages."
After looking at the building, Cao Hong realized that the only thing that could resist the building was the city guard's crossbow, so groups of soldiers carried the city guard's crossbow and climbed onto the city wall again and began to attack the building.
"put."
"put."
Xu Huang also had a countermeasure. He placed a warrior's crossbow on the cart to deal with the defensive crossbow on Cao Hong's city wall.
Yuan Shu's Warrior Scattered Crossbow scatters in five consecutive bursts. With one crossbow, the five crossbow arrows form a fan shape and directly defeat the soldiers guarding the city guarding crossbow. The city guarding crossbow was also shot into pieces, although Cao Hong's crossbow arrows were also torn apart.
There were soldiers on the streetcar, but they were still suppressed.
"Push forward, push forward."
The commander below the carriage saw that the warrior's crossbow was effective, and without hesitation, he loudly ordered the carriage to continue moving forward.
"clatter."
"clatter."
"clatter."
Despite the risk, the truck finally reached the edge of the city wall, and the iron planks unfolded instantly, all of which were placed on the city wall.
"Shield bearers, form a formation to stop them."
Cao Hong had already left the southern city wall and rushed to the direction of Louche's attack. Seeing Yuan Shu's army leaping over, he immediately ordered his shieldmen to form a formation to block the enemy's passage.
Shields formed a small wall, and behind them were soldiers holding spears, turning the front of the building into a copper wall.
"Go ahead."
"kill."
"For the Jizhou Army."
One by one, the soldiers of the Yokoye Army shouted slogans and directly hit the shield wall with their bodies. Even though their chests were pierced by spears, they still struggled to cut through the gaps with their steel swords.
Yokoye Jun used his own body and his own spirit to forcefully break through the shield wall in front of him and cut a bloody path.
“Where’s the kerosene?
Throw it at the car below."
Cao Hong had too many surprises today. Wen Chou's army was crazy before, and now Hengye's army was even crazier. They even used their own lives to fight for a bloody path. If all the soldiers and horses under Yuan Shu were like this, he really had no confidence that he could support them.
Reinforcements arrive.
Upon hearing Cao Hong's order, a dozen soldiers began to charge forward holding fire oil cans.
"Shoot those Cao soldiers holding the oil cans."
The team leader on the building cart saw the enemy rushing towards him with a clay pot, and knew that it was kerosene. At the same time, he also understood Cao Hong's idea and used fire to burn the building cart.
After hearing the words of the team leader, the archers on the building car changed their targets one after another and began to shoot at targeted locations.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight soldiers were shot directly to the ground, and at the same time, the kerosene they held flowed directly on the city wall.
"Shield bearer, protect them, protect them and come forward."
Cao Hong chopped off the soldiers around him with one sword, and then ordered the shield soldiers to protect the oil tanks and move forward.
"Set off rockets."
Seeing that the shield protected the remaining clay pots, the team leader directly asked the archers to attack with rockets.
Rockets streaked across the sky, igniting the kerosene flowing on the ground, and a sea of fire directly blocked the way forward.
"Rush over and burn them."
Seeing the wall of fire appear, the soldier holding the oil tank hesitated for a while. When Cao Hong saw this, he directly grabbed an oil tank and rushed towards the wall of fire.
"rush."
Seeing Cao Hong taking the lead, the remaining soldiers gritted their teeth one by one and rushed into the fire wall towards the building cart.
Cao Hong led his soldiers across the sea of fire and rushed directly to the front of the building truck.
"Throw."
Cao Hong struggled to slam the oil tank directly onto the building truck, and the soldiers behind him also smashed seven or eight oil tanks on the building truck.
"set fire."
A torch hit the kerosene directly, and flames burst into the sky instantly, and each building and truck was directly surrounded by flames.
"Don't be afraid, keep rushing."
Although the truck was on fire, the Yokoye army did not give up and continued to charge even though the flames were blazing beneath them.
"Save it, save it quickly."
The soldiers climbed up the city wall one after another through the carriages. The commander below arranged for people to cover the flames with sand and soil to put out the fire on the carriages.
"Crossbowman, come up and shoot them."
Seeing that the enemy still refused to retreat, Cao Hong ordered the crossbowmen to be mobilized to block Yuan Shu's army's attack with unfavorable crossbow arrows.
Hundreds of crossbowmen climbed onto the city wall, then loaded their arrows and fired at the charging Hengye Army soldiers.
Although the carriages had been set up on the city wall, Cao Jun did not give in at all, using superior force to suppress them and unable to open up the situation.
