Chapter 230 Stick to Xiangwu

Rows of Qiang and Hu soldiers screamed loudly, and rushed towards the top of the city carrying the ladder, intending to put the ladder on their shoulders on the top of the city, and then climb the city to attack.

Of course, the defenders of the Han army on the top of the city will not allow them to attack the city at will. The archers on the top of the city stretch their bows and set arrows. He screamed and fell to the ground.

However, the Qiang and Hu soldiers are numerous after all. The Qiang and Hu soldiers in front were shot to the ground, and the Qiang and Hu soldiers behind them immediately took over, carrying the ladder, while the surrounding Qiang and Hu soldiers raised their shields upwards to cover the condescending arrows. Cover the siege troops to move forward.

And the Qianghu archers under the city head are ready, Li Kan shouted: "Let the arrow!"

thud thud thud, there was a sound of strong bowstrings, and countless arrows were released from the bottom up, aiming at the defenders above the top of the city.

The advantage of Han Sui's army lies in the large number of people, and Han Sui's siege naturally has to give full play to this advantage. The overwhelming first-passing troops carry ladders and ants to attack the city, while the archers behind them are released as if they don't need money Among the bows and arrows, there are at least ten arrows nailed to a shield.

Under the cover of shields, the archers of Liu Ye's army counterattacked the Qianghu archers while suppressing the attack of the enemy's siege troops. However, with the help of the Qianghu archers, the first ladder was finally put on the top of the city. The Qianghu soldiers immediately grabbed the ladder and climbed up with their sabers in their mouths.

"檑木!"

Ma Teng, who was stationed at the top of the city, immediately ordered the guards to guard the city. Four or five soldiers waited until several Qiang and Hu soldiers climbed up the ladder, then grabbed a piece of wood with all their strength, and then threw it down.

The wood fell down suddenly with the force of gravity, and immediately hit the head of the first Qianghu soldier. The sharp wooden thorns directly pierced his eye sockets, and rolled down after a scream. Behind him, a group of comrades are about to suffer.

The wood rolled down, and a Qiang Hu soldier rolled down, smashing down the soldiers behind him like a snowball, which can be described as a big killer in a siege battle.

For a while, the Qiang Hu soldiers who climbed the ladder to attack the city were immediately smashed down by countless woods, but Xiangwu City is a small city after all, and there are not many woods prepared in the city, and the woods will be used up soon. The wooden ones are falling rocks, but the effect of falling rocks is far less powerful than that of 檑木.

Xiangwu is a county town, and the city wall is only a few feet high. Seeing that Qiang and Hu soldiers are about to climb up, Zhang Jaw, who is stationed on the west wall, shouted: "Pour gold soup."

It was boiled in the cauldron, and an astonishing stench emanated from the bubbling golden soup. The soldiers on the side grabbed the edge of the cauldron with a thick cloth, and then fell gently outward.

A large pot of boiled golden soup fell head-on, and the Qianghu soldiers who were climbing on the ladder felt a burst of hotness on their exposed skin, and an unbearable pain suddenly permeated the whole row of Qianghu soldiers. On the ground, there were bursts of wailing, which made the Qiang Hu soldiers on the side tremble with fear.

However, the defense materials in the city are limited after all. After the defenders exhausted all means, the first batch of Qiang and Hu soldiers finally arrived at the top of the city.

"kill!"

The first batch of Qiang and Hu soldiers who climbed to the top of the city immediately drew their sabers from their mouths and charged forward, while the defenders at the top of the city went straight forward without fear, and the two armies were immediately entangled.

Liu Ye mixed the veterans and new recruits in the city. If these newly recruited soldiers were directly pulled out to fight in the field, the possibility of being defeated by the enemy in one battle is very high. However, it is a good way to train soldiers now to defend the city. There are not many elite soldiers under his command, and he just took this opportunity to train the recruits under his command.

For a while, the two armies were at a stalemate, but Han Sui waved his hands and said, "Get ready for the siege vehicles."

"Here."

Yan Xing personally supervised the army, and nearly a hundred soldiers urged a siege vehicle to move forward slowly. On top of the siege vehicle was a thick bumper with a pointed head surrounded by one person, and it slowly rammed towards the city gate.

But at this moment, the gate of the city was suddenly opened, and the iron cavalry who had been preparing for a long time led the army to rush out.

"kill!"

A white shadow led the horse, and it was Pang De on the white horse, leading a thousand cavalry to charge out of the city.

"I will destroy this siege engine!"

A thousand iron cavalry swept out, Yan Xing immediately rode up to meet Pound when he saw this, and pointed a fine iron spear straight at Pound. Pang De was not afraid at all, and he fought Yan Xing after changing hands, entangled Yan Xing tightly.

However, the iron cavalry under Pound's command killed and scattered the soldiers guarding the siege vehicle almost instantly. More than a dozen of them held axes and axes, and the powerful soldiers immediately rushed forward, aiming at the siege vehicle and smashing it violently. The city car was smashed to pieces immediately.

However, Pound and Yan Xing's two spears fought faster and faster, and the sound of clinking and colliding spear points could be heard endlessly, but Pound had the upper hand for a while.

"Yan Xing, everyone knows you are brave, but now it seems that you are nothing more than that." Pound sneered.

Yan Xing snorted coldly: "Let's talk about it after you win the spear in someone's hand."

Pang De yelled, and swung the spear in Yan Xing's hand aside as soon as the spear tip turned, and the weapon in his hand stabbed forward like a dragon exploring the sea. Yan Xing was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his head, the tassel of the iron helmet on his head was immediately picked up by the spear.

"My life is over!"

Yan Xing was taken aback, he didn't care about the helmet, he turned around and ran away, rushed to the formation of his own army, grabbed a soldier casually, and said in shock: "Is my head safe?"

"General Yan, the head is still there, still there."

But Pang De laughed loudly, picked Yan Xing's helmet with the tip of his spear, and flaunted his power everywhere.

"This is Yan Xingtou!"

After Pound's 1,000 iron cavalry destroyed the siege vehicles, they attacked from all directions and rushed into the enemy's siege formation, like an iron cone breaking into the enemy's formation, causing Han Sui's army to turn their backs.

"Damn it! The horses are playing with Liang Xing, and the two of you strangled the cavalry army out of the city at the speed of five thousand cavalry."

When Han Sui saw that Pang De led the iron cavalry to charge into the formation, Han Sui was furious, and immediately ordered Liang Xinger to send troops, and the five thousand cavalry were divided into two groups, like a crab's claws.

And Pound is not stupid. After strangling the enemy army for a while, he saw Han Sui mobilizing a large number of iron cavalry to surround and kill him. At that time, the city gate was closed long ago.

When the crossbowmen on the top of the city saw the enemy's iron cavalry rushing to the top of the city, without saying a word, another rain of arrows swayed down. The enemy cavalry under the top of the city suffered hundreds of casualties, so they had to flee in a hurry. Go, see that Han Sui's face is blue and white.
