Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 175 Siege Battle ([-])

As the siege began, so did the counterattack on the walls.

"Take the arrow..., oil it..., light the fire..., draw the bow..., shoot!"

Pang Yan commanded at least 3000 Shanyue archers on the city wall to shoot rockets word by word, and soon the "swish" rockets landed in the sky above the Ruo Rong Dharma Protectors who rushed to kill from the city.

Although many rockets were blocked by the wooden shields and wooden bridges on the heads of the Dharma protectors, many large shields and wooden bridges were also on fire, and the Ruorong Dharma protectors could only use the prepared sand Splashed on wooden shields and wooden bridges, trying to put out the fire.

But these Dharma protectors had just emerged from under the large shields and wooden bridges, and they were seized by the Yamakoshi shooters on the city wall, and rockets were nailed on them with precision.

"Ah...", "Kill..."

The Ruo Rong Dharma Protectors who charged forward quickly suffered many casualties. Some people were shot and fell to the ground, and some who survived rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames on their bodies. Charge forward and kill.

The situation of the siege battle gradually entered a bloody state.

The Ruo Rong Dharma Guardian Army who attacked the city covered their bodies with large wooden shields, wooden bridges, and wooden ladders. Facing the rockets shot down from the city wall, they strode forward to kill Yuzhang City. The arrow fell to the ground.

And many of the Mountain Yue soldiers on the city wall were born as hunters, so they were naturally good at archery, so they shot an arrow condescendingly, which seemed to be quite accurate.

Once a target appeared in front of their eyes, they could shoot deadly rockets at the first time, so at this time, it was completely a situation where the Shanyue archers on the city wall shot and killed the siege Ruorong Dharma Guardian army.

When the Ruo Rong Dharma Protectors rushed to the moat in front of Yuzhang City and erected wooden bridges on the moat, these wooden bridges became the main targets of the Mountain Yue soldiers on the city wall, and the rockets quickly nailed the wooden bridges. bridge, turning these wooden bridges into a fire bridge.

However, Ruo Rong's Dharma Protectors were really crazy after brainwashing. Some people ignored the rockets from the city and threw sandbags onto the burning wooden bridge, trying to extinguish the burning flames, but soon they also Killed and wounded by rockets from the city wall.

But after some people were shot to death, their bodies fell directly on the wooden bridge, and some injured people jumped on the wooden bridge frantically, dousing the burning flames with their own blood.

Then the Dharma Guardians behind took the opportunity to step on the wooden bridge and cross the moat. These thousands of people stepped on it, and those who fell on the wooden bridge basically turned into flesh.

Then, these Ruorong Dharma protectors carried the wooden ladder frame to the city wall of Yuzhang.

At the bottom of the wooden ladder under the city wall, a dozen or so Dharma protectors were protected by large shields, which seemed to form a hard shell of tortoise shell, protecting them from being hurt by the bows and arrows on the city wall.

Then they all used their bodies to firmly hold down the wooden ladder, so that other Dharma guards could climb up the solid wooden ladder to the city wall.

At the same time, four or five thousand archers came out from Ruo Rong's army. They rushed forward quickly to the range where the bows and arrows could reach the city wall. Throwing up from the city wall, it covered the attack of the Dharma defenders who were climbing the city ahead.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom!"

Seeing the changes in the offensive on Zuo Rong's side, the command drums for changing formations were naturally beaten in the gate tower on the city wall, and more than 2000 strong Shanyue soldiers who had been waiting on the city wall also moved forward. Rushed up.

These Shanyue soldiers held various things in their hands, some were holding tower shields that were as tall as a person and two arms wide, some were holding spears that were two meters long, some were holding forks made of thick wood, and some were It is holding a sword shield and a chopping axe.

Those Shanyue soldiers with thick tower shields rushed to the arrow stacks of the city wall one after another immediately, raised the tower shields high, and built safety zones on the city wall to prevent arrows from being thrown.

Therefore, the Shanyue archers who were originally on the city wall, and the other Shanyue soldiers who rushed to the city wall, hid in the safety zone constructed by the tower shield, not afraid of the feathered arrows thrown at them.

Thousands of feathered arrows thrown up from below the city "aggressively" either landed on these tower shields, or landed on the open space of the city wall, but failed to cause much damage to the Yue soldiers guarding the city.

This kind of projectile feather arrow has no accuracy at all, and only relies on area coverage to attack enemies within a certain range.

But after the city wall had been prepared, the key positions on the city wall were covered by tower shields, which could still allow the Mountain Yue soldiers on the city wall to launch a counterattack against the city without being repelled by these feathered arrows from the city wall.

On the city wall, only some unlucky slow-moving people were injured by arrows, and most of the other people were basically safe and sound.

However, as the other Shanyue soldiers arrived at the city wall, many archers left from the arrow stacks with ladders to make room for the Shanyue soldiers who came up behind.

So those Shanyue soldiers holding forks hid on the side of the arrow stack covered by the tower shield, inserted the wooden ladders with the forks in their hands, and pushed them out, trying to get these wooden ladders together with the Ruo Rong Dharma protectors climbing on them. The army overthrew it together.

The other Shanyue soldiers with spears stood on the other side of the arrow pile covered by the tower shield, and stabbed the spears on the wooden ladder, killing and wounding the Dharma protectors who climbed up quickly one by one, making them They fell down the wooden ladder with a bit of screaming.

Beside these fork soldiers and spearmen, there are five or six Shanyue soldiers holding swords, shields and long axes. Some of them help the fork soldiers push the wooden ladder together, and some guard against the Dharma guards who climbed up the city wall. Those who swung their knives and axes hacked them to death.

Some of them raised some rolling wood and rocks that had been prepared on the city wall, pried them with thick wooden planks, slid to the edge of the city wall and fell down, each blow was enough to make the Dharma protectors piled up below scream. Again and again.

The law-protecting militia army that Ruo Rong attacked the city brought only more than 20 wooden ladders this time, so it is only necessary to prepare more than 20 troops on the city wall to block the area where these wooden ladders are located.

As for the arrow stacks in other areas on the city wall, there were still many archers standing behind the arrow stacks, looking for opportunities to shoot feather arrows and rockets down the city wall under the cover of the arrow stacks.

This is the current situation of the siege. Before the siege team can climb the city wall, they can only rely on bows and arrows to remotely damage the defenders on the wall and cover their own siege troops.

And all the other soldiers who participated in the siege could only stand against the various defensive methods on the city wall, holding a shield in one hand for protection, and holding a wooden ladder in the other, holding their swords in their mouths, desperately climbing along the wooden ladder to the city wall .

But they are also like death squads, the group with the worst casualties in the siege battle.

From time to time, you can see the Zuirong Protector Army under the city wall holding a wooden ladder. The wooden shields protecting them were smashed by stones and wooden piles falling from the city wall, and then their heads were smashed by the stones and wooden piles. Blood flow, broken bones and broken heads.

Then the wooden ladder they were supporting was pushed away by the guards on the city wall, and dozens of Dharma guards climbing on the ladder screamed in their mouths, and fell down the city together with the wooden ladder.

The city wall is five or six stories high, so the Dharma Protector at the top of the wooden ladder fell to the ground, and if he didn't fall directly to death, his hands and feet would be broken.

The Dharma Guardians below were also not much better. Either they were overturned on the ground and were crushed by the heavy wooden ladder, breaking their bones, or they were shot dead by the archers on the city wall...
