Wang Ding wielded his sword and hacked to death an enemy soldier who climbed up the city wall.
Under the control of the opponent's archers, some people have already climbed onto the city wall.
But soon, he was stabbed with a spear by the Han army and pushed down the city wall.
The battle is stalemate.
There are more and more corpses under the city.
There were also many soldiers on the city wall who were wounded and killed by arrows.
Those who are injured, those who have lost their fighting ability, and those who can still move, should walk on their own to receive medical treatment from the doctor.
Those who could not move were taken away by civilians bravely risking arrows.
Wang Ding planned a separate road to transfer injured soldiers.
They have lost their fighting power and are useless on the city wall. If they receive timely treatment, they may still be able to save their lives.
The doctors accompanying the army do not have the medical skills of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, but at Wang Ding's request, they now pay great attention to disinfection when treating wounded soldiers.
Compared with before, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers today has been greatly reduced.
We fought all day and night yesterday, and the number of wounded soldiers was not more than an hour today.
"Lord." Han Sui came to the city wall.
He was only responsible for the first half of the night last night. When Xu Huang came to take over in the second half of the night, Han Sui also slept with catkins stuffed in his body for almost three hours.
"Do you want to wake up those soldiers?" Han Sui asked after taking a look at the battle situation.
The five thousand soldiers who withdrew with him last night are still sleeping.
Three hours of sleep is almost enough for generals like Xu Huang and Han Sui.
Although they have not been able to recover to their best condition, their physical fitness is better than that of ordinary soldiers.
Ordinary soldiers, fighting continuously yesterday, were almost exhausted physically and mentally. Even if they slept for five or six hours, they would still be very tired when they woke up.
Wang Ding shook his head: "Let them sleep a little longer."
There are still nine thousand soldiers on the city wall, which can temporarily block the opponent's attack.
Wang Ding looked at the ladders and said: "We still need to burn the ladders first."
Without the ladder, it will be difficult for the opponent to climb the city wall.
I threw a dozen clay pots in succession before, but they were all knocked away by the enemy on the ladder with their shields.
Of the five ladders, only one has been burned.
Gao Shundao: "Let me go."
He picked up the spear, stepped on the wall, and then jumped towards a ladder.
"Kill!"
While he was in the air, Gao Shun's spear stabbed an enemy on the ladder. The spear passed through the opponent's body and penetrated the wooden board of the ladder.
Then Gao Shun used his hands hard, flew up with his feet, and kicked the other two enemies holding shields away, and then he himself successfully landed on the ladder.
The spear was restored, but in a matter of seconds, all the enemy troops on the ladder were wiped out by him.
He shouted: "Throw the clay pot quickly."
A dozen clay pots were thrown at the ladder.
Some were caught by Gao Shun and smashed everywhere on the ladder.
At the bottom of the ladder, the enemy soldiers who were climbing up touched the kerosene and grabbed the wooden frame with both hands, but with a little force, they quickly slipped down.
Gao Shun then jumped from the ladder back to the city wall.
He turned around and threw a torch. The ladder, which was filled with kerosene, was instantly engulfed in flames.
Gao Shun's military strength is not as good as that of Xu Huang, but he can kill a few ordinary soldiers.
But Yang Bai and Yang Ang are not comparable to these two cowards.
When it comes to loyalty, Gao Shun is no worse than Guan Yu.
None of the soldiers trapped in the camp are afraid of death. As their leader, Gao Shun has long disregarded life and death, fighting bravely to be the first in every battle.
Yang Bai and Yang Ang are still hiding behind the military formation and dare not join the battle.
Gao Shun dared to jump onto the enemy's ladder alone and kill everyone.
Wang Ding was relieved to see Gao Shun back safely.
When he saw Gao Shun suddenly, he jumped onto the ladder, but Wang Ding was frightened.
Wang Ding's current strength, usually five or six soldiers, is no match for him.
But you have to do what Gao Shun did, jump directly to the ladder, kill a dozen people, and then jump back.
It seems very simple, but now Wang Ding has no confidence that he can be as smooth as Gao Shun.
Wang Ding is afraid that if he is singled out, he will not be able to come back.
"There are three more ladders." Wang Ding grabbed Gao Shun and prevented him from jumping to another ladder.
After all, there were more than a dozen enemy soldiers on the ladder. They accidentally fell to the ladder and were stabbed to death in mid-air.
Gao Shun has already taken a risk.
The first time, the other party was not prepared.
The next time you do it, the risk will skyrocket.
Wang Ding would rather Yangping Pass be lost than see Gao Shunming die here.
The opponent lost another ladder, and the pressure on the Han army defending the city dropped by one point.
Under the city wall, there are two siege vehicles, still slamming into the city gate.
If you want to destroy these two siege vehicles, as of now, someone needs to get down.
"Is there any other way to destroy the ladders and siege vehicles without people going down?" Wang Ding looked at the remaining three ladders.
Several soldiers were still smashing clay pots at the ladders and siege engines.
Compared with rolling rocks and wood, the resource of kerosene is very scarce.
There was not much stockpiled in the city before.
Four fake ladders were burned yesterday, and the kerosene consumed was not as much as the two ladders burned today.
It’s still the same group of enemies.
After just one day, their experience became extremely rich.
They are not afraid of death, and everyone took turns participating in at least two waves of siege yesterday.
After returning, the general will give you some advice, and your experience will increase like crazy.
Just one day later, it was as if the team had changed.
The combat effectiveness has increased by at least 30%.
Is it them or the group of inexperienced believers yesterday, the pressure on the Han army today is three points less.
It’s only been more than an hour and I’m already so exhausted.
Phew!
……
The archers on both sides are still shooting at each other.
Wang Ding knocked away an arrow that was shot at him, and his eyes continued to fall on the siege vehicle directly below him.
The top of the siege vehicle is still burning with raging fire.
The people underneath were dripping with sweat, but they still kept hitting the city gate.
Boom!
Boom!
Once, again.
The ramming wood hung under the siege engine smashed the city gate with a loud bang.
Countless amounts of dust fell one after another, and with huge force, the city gate shook slightly backwards with each impact.
The wooden bars behind the city gate have cracks and creaking sounds, as if they will break at any time.
Inside the city gate, Wang Ding has sent additional men and used thick tree trunks to block it.
A group of soldiers also used their bodies to press on it.
But every time the city gate was hit, many of the soldiers inside were almost knocked away. Some of them had blood at the corners of their mouths and suffered internal injuries.
At the beginning, Wang Ding thought that ladders were more threatening than siege engines.
It now seems that if the two siege vehicles are not destroyed, the city gate will be knocked open before the enemy troops can climb up the city wall through the ladder.
It has only been an hour since the battle started.
