Chapter 181
In Situ Pharmacist's impression, the Jurchens were good at field battles but short at siege.

Even the Black Cloud Army is the same.

But today's Jurchen army made Situ Yaoshi look at him with admiration.They pretended to attack the north gate, and then mobilized troops to besiege the city on all sides.It has become a trend of catching a turtle in a urn.

Situ Yaoshi had no choice but to divide his troops to the four city gates and defend them with all his strength.He has only [-] elite soldiers directly under him, and in addition, [-] elite soldiers temporarily drawn from various armies serve as assistance.There were tens of thousands of craftsmen and soldiers in the city, but Pharmacist Situ would never let them go up the city wall unless it was absolutely necessary.Pig teammates will only make morale drop off a cliff.

"Woo~woo~woo~"

The desolate horn sounded again.

Wanyanlie didn't give Situ Yaoshi any chance to breathe, and attacked the city from all directions!

The three city gates in the east, west, north, and south are all Jurchen tribal troops, carrying simple siege ladders and rushing desperately.

For a while, the messengers from the three gates rushed towards the north gate one after another.

"General, the East Gate is in a hurry to attack the city, begging for help!"

"General, the Ximen bandits are powerful, please send troops quickly!"

"General, the main force of the bandits is at the south gate, and they have cut off our army's retreat!"

Situ Yaoshi leaned on his sword and stood on the top of the north gate, as stable as Mount Tai.

"Order all the gates to stand firm, and all the supervising teams will go up to the city wall!"

This is the helplessness of the defenders, who lose their initiative and are restrained every step of the way.The enemy army is attacking the city from all sides, and each side may be a feint attack, or it may become the main attack at any time.The defenders of the city can only see the tricks.Before the Heiyun army moved, Situ Yaoshi had to hold on to the last elite in his hand until he could figure out what the Heiyun army was doing.

After two hours of bloody battle, outside the four gates, the corpses of the Jurchen tribal army piled up like a mountain.The momentum of their siege did not stop.

In the east, west, and south gates, the sturdy Jurchen warriors attacked the city many times, only to be suppressed by the Bazhou defenders' close-range bombardment with dense firearms.

Seeing that the situation was critical, the heroic general Liu Yanzhang knelt down and asked for a fight: "General, the barbarians have not yet established a stable foothold. I will lead my troops to ride out of the city to sweep them away!"

"No."

"General!"

"Anyone who speaks falsely about leaving the city, beheaded!"

Situ Yaoshi was very clear-headed, and never returned when he went out of the city to fight in the field.Now every soldier cannot die in vain.Thirty miles south of Bazhou City, the main force of the 15 dynasty imperial army is stationed.Led by Zhao Jie's most trusted eunuch Tong Guan.

Tongguan brought 30 forbidden troops to the north this time, half of them were scattered in various passes, and half were stationed in the south of Bazhou.

It's also ridiculous.The reason for such a garrison is that there are too many defenders in Bazhou, which will stimulate the nerves of the Jurchens.Your Majesty's birthday is approaching, so please keep everything safe.

Pharmacist Situ sighed in his heart: "If there are [-] soldiers available, why are we here!"

But it doesn't matter now, as long as Tongguan sends troops immediately after receiving the request for help, the Jurchen army that detours to the south of Bazhou will be surrounded by counterattacks, and none of them can escape.

When the time comes to a center to bloom, the Jurchen East Route Army will be abolished.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The battle drums of the Jurchens stirred the hearts of every soldier on the north gate wall.The tribal army at the north gate has retreated!
The north wind blows, and the black cloud army moves!

The siege ladder several feet high is like a giant beast swallowing the sky, slowly pressing towards the city wall.

The black-clothed and black-armored army advanced silently, and the black armor reflected a faint cold light under the scorching sun.

This terrifying oppressive force is even worse than the howling of the tribal army attacking the city.

Pharmacist Situ couldn't help but looked up at the sun.

Wanyanlie really wants to attack the North Gate?There is no reason, now attacking from the north gate, the Heiyun Army must attack the city against the scorching sun.This is a taboo for military strategists.

But Wanyan Lie did just that!
The black cloud army is like a black tide, surging, and is accumulating the strength to hit the shore.

A huge rushing vehicle was slowly advancing in the army formation.

This is for real!
Pharmacist Situ raised his sword and shouted angrily: "All troops, fight to the death!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The siege horn sounded, and the drum beat frequency increased several times!
The black cloud army turned into a huge black wave and slammed towards the city wall of Bazhou.

There are dozens of sharpshooters on each siege ladder, and everyone can shoot arrows.

It actually suppressed the long-range firepower of Bazhou City.

"The eight-ox crossbow is ready!"

Eight-ox crossbow, also known as three-bow bed crossbow.There are three layers of bow arms. The arrows are made of hardwood as the shaft and iron sheets as the feathers. They must be wound with a winch.The shooting range is as far as seven hundred steps!It is the second largest killer after the Sky Cannon!
It's a pity that there is only one for each gate of Bazhou City. Situ Yaoshi was going to use it to slander Yan Lie, but now he can only deal with the siege ladder first.

"Kerala~" With the twisting of the chain and winch, the sergeants adjusted the position of the bed crossbow, and hung the arrow thicker than the javelin.

"Boom!"

The one-man long arrow shot out like a guided missile.

It's a pity that amidst the exclamation of the Bazhou defenders, they flew past the edge of the siege ladder, plunged into the Heiyun army, and directly plowed a row.

The arrow pierced through the four people and nailed to the ground like a bunch of candied haws.

The Heiyun army beside him didn't blink, and rushed forward fearlessly.

The eight-ox crossbow rushed to the second arrow.

This arrow was extremely accurate, and the arrow pierced through the waist of a siege ladder, bringing out a cloud of blood.

The sound of wood breaking and screams intertwined, the siege ladder exploded, and hundreds of Heiyun troops fell straight from a height of several feet, causing no casualties.

However, under the cover of other siege ladders and rain of arrows, dozens of simple siege ladders were erected on the city wall, and the black cloud army ants attached to attack the city.

What greeted them was the boiling oil poured down from their heads.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Then hundreds of oil cans were thrown from the top of the city, either hitting Hei Yunjun or shattering to the ground.

The black liquid flowed wantonly, exuding a pungent smell. .

The face of the veteran in the Heiyun Army changed drastically, and he shouted in despair: "Fire!"

boom!
The defenders at the top of the city fired all their weapons, and the city of Bazhou was filled with flames, and it immediately became a purgatory on earth!

Situ Yaoshi sneered and said, "Wanyan Lie, your lifeblood, the Heiyun Army, is so consumed, how could you be willing?"

At this time, several siege ladders finally reached the city wall.

"Oh!"

The heavy wooden door fell, and the hook on the top was tightly hooked to the crenel of the city wall.The warriors of the Heiyun Army on the siege ladder were like black gods of death, stepping on the plank and jumping into the city wall, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, immediately causing small-scale chaos!

"Kill!" Xiao general Liu Yanzhang immediately led his elite to kill, and only after a desperate fight did he kill the Jurchens back.

As for those siege ladders, although they were crude, they were all covered with wet cowhide, so they couldn't be burned in a hurry.

This bloody battle lasted from noon to the end of the day.

More than half of Situ Yaoshi's headquarters was damaged, and firearms, arrows and logs were sprinkled like money, which was able to withstand the tide of the black cloud army's siege.

"Woo~woo~"

The retreat horn sounded, and the Black Cloud Army retreated in a very orderly manner.

Pharmacist Situ secretly touched the sweat on his forehead, it was dangerous, but he managed to hold on.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly there was a thunder in the flat ground, and the sky fell apart!

A violent explosion suddenly occurred at the southwest corner of the city wall, a section of the city wall collapsed, and Bazhou City leaked!

Pharmacist Situ was going crazy: "What's going on!!"

"Report! The Ximen Sky Cannon exploded, knocking down the city wall!"

Situ Yaoshi gushed old blood into his throat, and couldn't help but look at the pale Bazhou General Judge Cai Rong beside him.The Ximen City Wall has just been rebuilt, and this damn Cai Rong is responsible for it!
