Hearing Wen Chou's words, Gao Shun also shook his head. You are Wang Shidang's addict. This is Chen Wen's portal. How could you surrender?
"Then shall we attack the city now?"
Wen Chou also hesitated for a while, but now that we have reached this point, what should we do next?
"General, you see there are so many soldiers at the top of the city. Chen Wen must have taken precautions. We only have so few troops, and the losses from a strong attack may be huge now."
Gao Shun glanced at the city wall. It was not impossible to attack now, but it might cause heavy casualties.
"Let's try it. What if it works?"
Although Gao Shun said so, Wen Chou still wanted to try to attack, in case the city was broken, wouldn't he be happy?
"Then let's try it."
Even though he had suggested it, Wen Chou still wanted to try it, and Gao Shun had no choice but to follow his wishes.
"Beat the drums and prepare to attack the city."
Wen Chou nodded and directly ordered to prepare to attack the city.
The war drums thundered, and the battlefield was filled with a murderous atmosphere. The craftsmen rushed out of the line and began assembling ten trebuchets on the spot.
"Beat the drum and prepare to defend."
When the captain at the top of the city saw the army outside the city preparing to attack, he immediately ordered his troops to prepare for defense.
All the defense equipment at the head of Liyang City was ready, waiting for Wen Chou's army to begin attacking the city.
"General, the trebuchet has been assembled."
Soon the soldier in charge of the trebuchet came to report the news to him.
"Smash them for me."
Hearing that the trebuchet had been assembled, Wen Chou directly ordered the attack.
"One calibrated projectile, fire."
Ten trebuchets were loaded directly, and a dozen heavy bombs flew across the space directly towards the head of Liyang City.
"careful."
When the captain at the top of the city saw the heavy bombs coming, he directly ordered the soldiers on the top of the city to defend and evade.
"boom."
"Peng."
"Peng."
The stone bullets hit the Chengcheng wall one after another, scattering stone chips all over the sky, and some unlucky ones were directly crushed into pulp.
"Five consecutive shots, then fire again."
Seeing that all ten trebuchets hit the city wall, the soldier in charge directly ordered five consecutive rounds.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
The stone bullets hit the Liyang City Wall like raindrops, and the Yangzhou Army above was so hit that they could only huddle behind the wall stacks.
"How's the ladder going?"
Seeing that Liyang City was helpless under the trebuchet, Wen Chou directly asked how the preparations for the ladder were going.
"It will take a while, we don't have many ladders with us this time."
Gao Shun looked at the ladders that were still being made. They came here as a vanguard this time, not to attack the city. Although they brought trebuchets, there were really not many ladders and it was impossible to support this attack.
"How many are there now? Let's pull them over first and attack them."
Wen Chou didn't want to wait. He just wanted to test the opponent's defensive strength, and it hadn't reached the level of attacking with the whole army.
"good."
Hearing Wen Chou's words, Gao Shun also nodded.
The Tiger Army slowly advanced towards Liyang City with dozens of simple ladders and ladder trucks.
"Archers prepare."
Seeing the enemy soldiers coming up, the captain directly ordered his troops to prepare.
The soldier in charge of the trebuchet saw some of the soldiers on the city wall leaning out to bend their bows and arrows, and he smiled, a cruel smile.
"Scatter bullets, five consecutive rounds, cover the city wall, release."
After giving the order, the trebuchets that had been prepared for a long time put the shotguns on the ammunition bags, and then shot directly towards Liyang City not far away like a dark cloud.
"Defense, defense."
Seeing the stone bullets flying towards them like dark clouds, the captain yelled.
Shields were erected to protect the archers behind them.
"Peng."
"Oh my god."
"ah."
There was blood on top of the city, and countless shields were smashed directly, and then people were knocked down in a pool of blood.
The tiger soldiers below the city did not look at the situation on the city wall at all, and just carried the ladder and marched quickly towards the city wall.
"Fill the river."
The captain directly ordered the river to be filled in. Temporarily packed sand and soil bags were thrown into the moat one by one. Within a short time, passages for movement were filled in.
Seeing the passage appear, the captain took the lead and rushed over. Behind him were the hungry tiger soldiers carrying ladders and setting them directly on the Liyang city wall.
"Charge the city."
Groups of Tiger Soldiers held steel knives in their teeth and began to kill along the ladder towards the Liyang City Wall.
"Defend, don't let them attack."
Seeing that Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses had begun to climb the wall, the captain roared and took the lead to kill them.
With the captain at the head, the soldiers of the Yangzhou Army who were a little scared at first took the risk and gritted their teeth and began to attack the climbing Yuan Shu's army.
The Tiger Army is elite, but siege does not depend on whether you are elite or not. The defenders only need to use long spears, bows and arrows to attack the city to occupy the favorable ground. The Yangzhou army can still support it for a while.
"Are the soldiers on the city wall?"
Seeing his soldiers being killed one by one, the captain was extremely anxious now.
"Already up."
The captain calmed down after hearing the news. Although he did not have as many troops as Yuan Shu, he still had 20,000 troops. Although the previous wave of casualties suffered heavy casualties from Yuan Shu's trebuchet,
But now we are attacking the city, and we are fighting for people, and we also occupy a favorable geographical position. As long as our soldiers and horses are brave enough, it will not be that easy for Yuan Shu's army to attack.
Each and every Tiger Army bravely took the lead despite the offensive on the city, and reached the city wall in one fell swoop. However, facing the superior strength of the Yangzhou Army, they could only be killed one by one and fell off the city wall.
"Put on fire oil."
Seeing the fierceness of the Tiger Army, the captain was also shocked. He did not expect the enemy to be so powerful.
"promise."
After hearing the captain's words, the clay pots were smashed directly under the city wall.
"withdraw."
Seeing the kerosene falling down, the captain in charge did not hesitate and ordered the retreat.
As soon as the military order was issued, the Tiger Army quickly retreated without a single stop.
"set fire."
Torches fell from the sky one after another, turning Liyang City into a sea of flames. However, the Hesitation Tiger Army retreated in time. Except for some slow runners who were burned, the overall loss was not great.
"General, withdraw."
Seeing that the Hu Lie Army was not afraid of casualties but could not attack and open up the situation, Gao Shun knew that the morale of the Yangzhou Army was strong and there were abundant troops and horses, and it would be difficult to break the city in one fell swoop, so he suggested to Wen Chou to withdraw his troops.
"Okay, Ming Jin withdraws his troops."
Hearing Gao Shun's words, Wen Chou also nodded. It was good to be able to break Liyang City, but it didn't matter even if he couldn't attack it. Anyway, Yuan Shu was only two days away from him. He would wait until the army arrived to talk about it.
"Dang Dang Dang."
The sound of ringing gold exploded in the sky. Hearing this sound, the captain turned back and glanced at the scarred Liyang City Wall, with a flash of light in the corner of his eyes.
"withdraw."
Under the leadership of the captain, the soldiers of the Tiger Army left Liyang City like a tide and returned to their own army.
"Set up camp and rest."
The Tiger Army withdrew, and Wen Chou waved his hand directly, leading his troops to leave here and find a place to set up camp and wait for the arrival of Yuan Shu's army.
"We won, yeah."
Seeing Wen Chou leading his troops away, the captain couldn't help but clenched his fists and roared loudly into the sky.
