super apocalypse

Chapter 214 Siege
The wind howled, the war drums thundered, and the huge boulders flying through the sky, like meteors falling rapidly, continuously smashed down on the top of the city. The crazy and intensive attacks made the defenders on the top of the city almost unable to lift their heads. Seeing that the time had come, Chen Immediately ordered Xu Chu to lead [-] Taiping soldiers to attack.

Several carts and dozens of ladders, pushed by the Taiping Army soldiers, moved forward rapidly and quickly approached the city wall. Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, like wolves and tigers, rushed towards the city wall in front of them, brandishing their swords.

The long-range catapult's attack was so fierce that the defenders above the city wall couldn't even raise their heads, let alone launch a defensive attack in time, so the soldiers of the Taiping Army rushed under the city wall very smoothly.

The ladders were in front of them, and one after another hit the high city wall hard. The Taiping soldiers who had been prepared for a long time shouted loudly and climbed up quickly along the ladders.The carriage was behind, and the Taiping archers arrayed on the roof of the carriage opened their bows and fired arrows to cover their own siege troops.

"No, the Taiping bandits are attacking!" Glancing at the falling ladder on the city wall, a defender had just shouted when he was pierced by a feathered arrow shot from the building cart.

"Whoosh - Whoosh -" Many of the defenders who had just taken the risk to stand up were about to continue shouting, but the arrows flying from the building and the car kept them completely shut.

The huge boulders were fierce and the rain of arrows covered the sky, unable to resist the defenders. The Taiping soldiers advanced rapidly along the ladders. Soon, many Taiping soldiers relied on the cover of long-range trebuchets and archers on the building carts. Successfully climbed the wall of Gaoliu City.

"Kill!" The commander is not as good as Chen Dao, but when it comes to bravery, Xu Chu thinks that he will never lose to any general in the world. At this moment, he took the lead and followed the soldiers of the Taiping Army to the city wall. When he saw the defenders standing in front of him, he immediately said With a loud shout, the black iron long knife was wrapped in a fierce and terrifying wind and swept across it forcefully, only a piercing roar was heard, and suddenly burst out the most dazzling sharp edge.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!" There was the heavy sound of sharp blades cutting into the flesh, and at the direction of Xu Chu's blade, the three defenders standing in front of him were immediately stabbed in the chest. It was chopped into two pieces, blood splashed and fell to the ground.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Chu immediately stretched out a hand to press against the city wall, turned over, and landed firmly on the city wall.

"No, some thieves have climbed the tower..." Seeing Xu Chu climbed the city wall in such a ferocious manner, the officers and soldiers guarding the city nearby screamed in shock.

"Hahahahaha, it's a grand pass in the border city, but it's nothing more than that. Where is Gongsun Xu? Do you want to fight with me?!" Xu Chu laughed wildly, but the black iron long knife in his hand never stopped at all. Following the direction of his blade, nearby people The soldiers guarding the city couldn't resist at all, and they were all chopped to the ground by him, leaving no one with a chance to defeat him.

In the rear, soldiers of the Taiping Army climbed up the wall of Gaoliu City one after another, spontaneously gathered behind Xu Chu, and launched the fiercest attack on the defenders on the wall.

Xu Chu took the lead, and the black iron sword was pointed at it with an astonishing momentum. The already panic-stricken officers and soldiers of the city defense were unable to resist him. With his crazy slaughter, he moved forward bravely. In a short time, he was being killed all around. After leaving an open space, no defenders dared to approach within ten steps.

At this time, the attack of the long-range trebuchet had stopped. After all, the soldiers of the Taiping Army had already boarded the city wall, and if they continued to throw boulders to attack, it might be difficult to distinguish the enemy from ourselves, and it would be fine if they hurt the enemy. But it's not a good thing.

Fortunately, the building car is still there. Although the archers on the roof can't continue to shoot wantonly, they can also choose targets for fixed-point attacks, which can still pose a certain threat to the city defenders.

However, this kind of threat is no worse than before. With the cessation of the trebuchet attack, Gongsun Xudang even organized the defenders on the city to start an active defense and launched an attack on the Taiping Army. The most intense hand-to-hand combat.

Xu Chu was in front, crazily clearing the way, but the soldiers of the Taiping Army behind him hardly encountered decent resistance. More and more soldiers of the Taiping Army climbed up the city wall one after another. Most of these soldiers gathered and followed behind Xu Chu, bravely Go forward, do your best to hide and kill.

In less than half an hour, the soldiers of the Taiping Army had captured half of Gaoliu City, and the two sides were entangled, fighting non-stop.

Under the city wall, Chen Dao saw this scene with his own eyes, and couldn't help showing a little joy on his face. He thought that this battle would definitely pay a heavy price, but he didn't expect that with the cooperation of the trebuchet and the building cart, the attacking It is really surprising that the battle of the city can be carried out so smoothly.

You must know that in a siege battle, the defending side often has an absolute geographical advantage, coupled with the rain of arrows from the rolling wood Leishi, it will often bring great damage to the siege side, but unfortunately, in this battle Among them, the long-range catapults and building vehicles of the Taiping Army played an unimaginable role, making it impossible for the defenders of Gaoliu City to use many defensive methods. The advantages and disadvantages of the two sides were all evened out in a blink of an eye.

"Wu Zhou, please lead three thousand troops and break open the city gate for me!" Seeing that the time has come to break the city, Chen Dao ordered again. A young general under his command immediately led the troops out and drove the city ramming car straight to the gate. He rushed towards the gate of Gaoliu City.

"Bang!" Under the vigorous push of nearly a hundred soldiers from the Taiping Army, the city crash vehicle slammed into the city gate, accompanied by a loud noise, under the forceful impact, the huge city gate shook violently, creaking It creaked, as if it was about to shatter and collapse at any moment.

"One, two, three, hit!" Wu Zhou received Chen Dao's general order, so naturally he didn't dare to take it with him, he couldn't hit the city once, so he shouted the order again.

Three thousand soldiers, took turns to go into battle, struggling to push the crashing cart, gnashing their teeth, hitting the city gate desperately, accompanied by loud thunder and loud bangs, the city gate couldn't stop shaking, and the degree of shaking was getting bigger and bigger. Seeing this scene, The soldiers became even more excited. Everyone knew that breaking through the city gate was imminent.

"General Xu Chu of the Taiping Army is here! Where is Gongsun Xu? How dare you fight me?!" On the city wall, Xu Chu was brave and irresistible, shouting loudly from time to time, shocking the enemy's mind.

"Tiger idiot Xu Chu?!" Hearing Xu Chu's name, the guards around the city couldn't help but exclaim, and those who were close couldn't help but sway their calves with fright. I was shivering all over.

Since the Battle of Jieqiao, the top military generals of the Taiping Army have long been famous, and Xu Chu is no exception. Coupled with the bravery Xu Chu showed just now, who would dare to step forward to make him an enemy?
"Damn it, these officers and soldiers are so cowardly, how can they defend the border city against foreign invasion?!" Seeing that most of the officers and soldiers guarding the city were afraid to step forward, Xu Chu was not only unhappy, but couldn't help but cursed, and then Leading a large number of Taiping soldiers, they charged forward crazily.

After a frenzied killing campaign, Xu Chu was covered in blood at this moment, like a demon crawling out of the depths of hell, with a long knife in his hand that kept going, and was almost invincible.

"Thief, don't be mad. Watch me, Gongsun Xu, come to fight you." Seeing Xu Chu approaching, Gongsun Xu calculated that after such a long fight, even though Xu Chu was brave, he should be exhausted. As soon as he raised his hand, a long knife pierced through the air and came straight towards Xu Chu.

"Well done!" Even though he had been fighting all the way and had lost a lot of combat power, Xu Chu was not afraid. He raised his hand and raised his sword to meet the attack, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Are you Gongsun Xu? After being a coward for so long, are you finally willing to come out and fight me?!"

Amidst the loud laughter, I was surprised to hear a sharp and piercing "clang" contending, the two knives collided at one place, and the sparks burst into flames. Layers of air waves exploded, setting off a storm on the top of the city, and immediately, a huge shock The power exploded, the two of them trembled, and each retreated backwards. However, this retreat was not the end, but the real beginning of the battle between the two sides!
