Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 502 Siege and Siege
"Kill! Climb up!"

"Fork the ladder! Kill them down!"

"Uh...ah..."

"Yeah... poof..."

All kinds of sounds erupted in front of the city wall of Qiantang County. Under the city wall, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin personally urged the soldiers to climb up, while Zhou Xin on the city wall also shouted loudly for the Kuaiji soldiers to defend.

For a moment, the ladder climbing the city was pushed away, and more than a dozen Danyang recruits on the ladder fell down screaming, and soon fell into the crowd of other comrades under the city wall. Under the buffer, it didn't suffer too much damage.

And the siege ladder was pushed onto the city wall again, and the Danyang recruits quickly recovered from the chaos under the urging, so they raised their shields to protect their heads again, and quickly climbed up the city wall .

Such scenes almost happened repeatedly at several siege ladders, and of course there were some city walls where siege Danyang soldiers with large shields finally climbed up the city walls.

So the Danyang soldier tried his best to use his big shield to resist the ring-shoulders hacking and stabbing the spears on the city wall, and forced a hole in the city wall.

Then a pawn holding a ring-shoulder knife and a double-curved hand shield took advantage of the gap above and quickly climbed up. After getting behind the pawn in front, he helped disperse the Kuaiji pawns surrounding him with a knife, thus Make the gap here bigger and bigger.

Next, Danyang new recruits climbed up one after another, also holding swords and shields, trying to occupy an area on the city wall. It seemed that this side was about to be broken through by the attacking Danyang recruits.

"Kill them down! Crossbowman, go!"

Zhou Xin quickly discovered the situation here, and at the same time assigned soldiers to fight, but at the same time ordered his last hidden rear hand to move out, and it was indeed the crossbowman.

At the beginning, Zhu Wei saw that Wang Lang in Kuaiji had two thousand crossbows, which Zhou Xin brought back to Kuaiji privately when Zhu Jun organized the Xuzhou Allied Forces to disband. Now these two thousand crossbows have naturally become two thousand. The Thousand Crossbow Archers became Zhou Xin's last trump card in defending the city.

Zhou Xin hadn't dispatched these crossbowmen in the previous siege battle, but was planning to use them at the critical moment.

At this time, Zhou Xin assigned more than 500 crossbow archers to face that area, and then hundreds of crossbow arrows covered the area of ​​the city wall that showed signs of being broken over there.

"Swoosh...", "Ahh..."

The crossbow arrows quickly nailed dozens of new Danyang soldiers rushing up there, shooting and killing these siege soldiers like death squads, and then the surrounding Kuaiji defenders rushed up, treating these corpses like falling rocks. Throw it down outside the city.

As a result, this area of ​​the city wall that was almost breached was once again controlled by the Kuaiji soldiers guarding the city.

After all, siege is still difficult and dangerous, so it is impossible for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to climb and attack the city immediately with ordinary soldiers. They also have to wait for soldiers above to occupy a part of the city wall to ensure a safe climb for them. The route will join the attack.

Otherwise, before they climbed the city wall, they would be attacked by the defenders with bows and crossbows, or blocked by pushing away ladders. No matter how powerful they were, they would only be injured like ordinary soldiers.

As the strongest fighters, they still need to find a suitable opportunity before they can really join the climbing and siege.

This is also why Zhou Tai said before that he needs to give him about an hour to attack Qiantang County, instead of saying that he can climb up to Qiantang County and capture this city.

In fact, Zhou Tai had wanted to climb up just now, but he didn't expect that the soldiers who attacked were shot and killed again. This opportunity was once again made up by the Kuaiji army defending the city.

In desperation, Zhou Tai could only urge the surrounding soldiers to climb up again. Since he had the example just now, other soldiers would naturally be able to attack as well, as long as they could withstand the defenders' counterattack for a period of time, A fierce general like Zhou Tai climbed up the city wall, and the siege situation would be opened.

On the other side, Jiang Qin is doing the same. Jiang Qin has sent some military officers around him, such as military marquis and village chief, hoping to open up a situation as soon as possible.

After all, there is not much time left for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and soon Pang Yan's Xiongba camp will come to kill them.

However, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin did not expect that Zhou Xin, who was guarding the city, would hide such a weapon as a crossbow. Therefore, under their urging, several attempts to attack the city wall were still given by Zhou Xin commanding the crossbowmen. suppressed.

If Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin had enough time, then they would be able to attack when the crossbowmen's arrows were almost consumed, but they really don't have enough time now.

After about half an hour like this, Jiang Qin inevitably came to Zhou Tai's side, "Youping can't do this, I'm afraid Pang Yan's army will kill him soon, how about this, I will take some soldiers back to stop Pang Yan's army, You continue to attack the city here, as long as you can capture Qiantang County, then you still have a chance!"

"Well, good! That's it, but Gong Yi and Pang Yan are hard to beat, you have to be careful!"

At this time, Zhou Tai had no time to think too much, and immediately agreed to Jiang Qin's arrangement, but he gave some instructions with some concern.

"Don't worry, someone knows! In this way, the army of Danyang will be left to you, and I will take the young and strong behind me!"

Jiang Qin looked around again. At this time, the new troops from Danyang City were basically participating in the siege, while the young and strong men from Wu County, who were originally used as cannon fodder, stayed behind to watch the show, so he could not take the Danyang new army with him. Leaving, and letting those Wu Jun young men come up to attack the city, this will only affect the momentum of the attack.

"Okay! Don't worry, Gongyi, I will definitely capture Qiantang County!"

Zhou Tai was not polite to Jiang Qin at this time, anyway, it was the last fight.

"it is good!"

Jiang Qin also agreed, and then took hundreds of personal guards and turned around to retreat to the periphery, and soon ordered about ten thousand young and strong from Wu County to go to their original military stronghold.

As Jiang Qin left with his troops, the siege troops under the city wall of Qiantang County did not decrease much. Nearly Wan Danyang's new recruits still stormed Qiantang County under Zhou Tai's command.

After a while, three places on the city wall of Qiantang County were occupied by new soldiers from Danyang who attacked the city. Although Zhou Xin also commanded the soldiers and crossbowmen to counterattack, they were still held by one place for a while.

"Wow! Let someone kill you!"

Suddenly there seemed to be a roar like thunder, Zhou Tai finally climbed up the city wall, and then rushed to the front, holding a large shield and a ring sword, roaring in his mouth, and rushed to the gate tower where Zhou Xin was located. past.

At the very first moment, Zhou Tai used the big shield as a wall and rushed forward. Under his powerful force, the Kuaiji defenders who were crowded around were suddenly thrown into disarray, and Zhou Tai pushed them away. After a few steps, the formation was loosened.

Then Zhou Tai rushed in one step at a time, slashing around with the ring head knife in his hand, immediately cut off several arms holding the ring head knife, and cut off several stabbing spears.

This time, another gap was opened in the formation of the Kuaiji defenders on the city wall, so the Danyang recruits who followed Zhou Tai rushed up naturally also took the opportunity to mix in with the Kuaiji defenders and started a melee...
