Chapter 119
When the Beiyuan people came under the city wall, half of them had already been killed or injured, but the real siege was even more tragic.In which siege battle, there was not a mountain of corpses under the city wall?
When the Beiyuan people were about to get under the city wall, some of them had already put down their bows and arrows and replaced them with spears and swords.They even prepared stones and logs, ready to throw them at the northern plains people who were going to climb up the city wall by ladders.

The Beiyuan people got closer and closer, and gathered more and more. Beside the siege engine, there were many people from Beiyuan who were ready to push the siege engine, ready to hit the city gate crazily.On the nearby city wall, a siege ladder was erected and began to climb up.

"pour oil."

Under Lin Tu's order, some jars were smashed down the city wall and hit the siege vehicle, and some oil jars were also smashed by ladders.

"ignition."

Hundreds of torches were thrown down, mainly siege engines and those ladders.The siege engine caught fire, and the flames suddenly became bigger, and no one dared to stand around.Those ladders were also ignited with flames. Isn't climbing the ladders the feeling of crossing the flames now?
For a while, the Beiyuan people's siege was stopped.Under the city wall, there were many Beiyuan people who were burning with flames, screaming in pain, rolling and running, but they couldn't extinguish the flames.

All of a sudden, the base of the city wall became a sea of ​​flames. Although it was only on the ground, it burned the siege vehicles, ladders, and a few people.But looking around, it's still a bit scary. This line of defense is formed by flames, and it seems to be more insurmountable than the arrow rain artillery.Because before the scourge is the city wall, if you can't go up, you can only retreat. There is no saying that you can cross it regardless, and you will be safe after passing this fire wall.

There is a small sea of ​​flames under the city wall. Although there are some relatively safe places, how can it be possible to win Xihe City by relying on these safe places?However, no order to retreat has been received yet, which puts these northern plains people in a dilemma.However, there is no other way now, but to bite the bullet.

Choose a place where there is no fire and the fire is very small, and set up a ladder to continue preparing for the siege.

A siege is an offensive and defensive battle, where there is an attack, there is defense.The current siege engine is considered useless, after all, it has received intensive care. With so many oil jars smashed down, the fire burned fiercely. The entire siege engine was burning with raging flames, and there was no place to start.The siege engine can't be used, so we can only go to the city wall, take down the city wall, and then open the city gate.

Mo Li could only watch from a distance, not seeing clearly, but he could also see that the progress of the siege was not going smoothly.

"It seems that 1 people are still too few. If there are 5 people, this city of Xihe can definitely be easily taken down."

10 people is not a small number. If 10 people are spent to attack Xihe City, what about Dingsha City?What about other cities on the border?It is obvious that the Northern Plains people cannot do this. They are nomadic people in the first place, and their numbers are not as large as those of the Dawei Dynasty.What's more, a large number of people have been sent to other places to pull, 10 people are obviously impossible.

"Let them attack again, I want to see what step can be made with Xihecheng's defense?"

The people of Beiyuan were still struggling to attack the city, but Lin Tu could see the clue, but he couldn't figure out the reason.The people who were sent to attack the city had already suffered heavy injuries, and they still did not call for a stop, nor did they say that they were sending additional personnel to continue the attack.

These people are like abandoned children, letting them die here, no matter what.

Soldiers on the city wall lifted a log and dropped it, and at least one person who was climbing was hit or even fell.And it may hit other people on the way down.When a stone was lifted, several Beiyuan people died or were injured.Push to a ladder, and soon it will stand against the wall again, and someone will climb up again.

When they were about to reach the top of the city wall, and the people from the northern plains who hadn't been smashed down were about to appear on the city wall, they faced swords and spears.A shot pokes a hole in the body, and it's okay to fall on the city wall. If you fall down, you may injure a few.

Now this war won by numbers is so cruel, and the victory won by the accumulation of human lives is not even a victory.If Yang Yichuan saw this scene, if it was a war caused by the rise and fall of dynasties that seized power from each other, he would definitely lament the suffering of the people behind the war.Now this is an invasion, such a war is inevitable, and it is necessary for the better survival of the people in the country.

One after another, the Beiyuan people fell down, and finally another Beiyuan people came to the city wall and began to fight at close quarters.After the close combat started, the Beiyuan people on the ladder couldn't care about it for the time being.You can only kill the person in front of you first, this is the last line of defense, the soldiers on the city wall.

However, after climbing up the city wall, the stones, rolling wood and wood have been exhausted in such a long tug-of-war, allowing the Beiyuan people to climb up more smoothly.However, the exhaustion of stones and rolling wood resulted in the death of a large number of Beiyuan people. Climbing up with a shield could not avoid death and injury.

In this tug-of-war, the Beiyuan people were killed and injured, how many people can finally reach the city wall? 5000,?Definitely not, maybe around 3000.When the Northern Plains people climbed up one by one, one by one, some people would die unexpectedly before they fought in close quarters.

The people who actually fought against each other were less than half of the guards of the northern city wall.

It is always a situation of more enemies and fewer enemies. Although people from the northern plains continue to climb up and replenish continuously, the number of people is too small after all.
Under Lin Tu's leadership, the soldiers guarding Xihe City were all united and raised their butcher's knives at the Beiyuan people.

"kill."

At this moment, he didn't show mercy, and didn't say that he wanted to keep the prisoners of war. What he wanted now was to kill the enemy and protect the safety of himself and Xihe City.Once distracted, once hesitated, it would be the counterattack of the Northern Plains people, and they would be hurt.

The two sides started a melee, and Molly looked at the city wall from a distance, showing a satisfied smile.

"Xihe City, I really thought how powerful it could be. I didn't expect that a mere 1 people could hit the city wall. Give me another 5 elites, no, as long as 7, I can make Xihe The city is firmly in my hands." Mo Li finally found out the details of Xihe City, and dispatched 6 people, and finally reached this point.If I went all out, I might have won the North City Gate now, but winning the North City Gate does not mean that I have won, because at that time, I must have gone all out, with no backers and no trump cards.

"Mingjin withdraws troops."

"Lord Molly, is it now? Many people have already attacked the city wall."

"Do you want everyone to go up to die? The current strength of the troops is definitely not comparable to that of Xihe City. If they all go up, it is better to stay and wait for the next attack."

Under Mo Li's insistence, the Beiyuan people called Jin and retreated.Those who have climbed onto the city wall cannot escape. Those who have not yet climbed up after being captured, or those who are slightly disabled, should withdraw their troops quickly, or it would be more appropriate to flee.

After cleaning up the Beiyuan people on the city wall, Lin Tu looked at the fleeing people.

"Let the arrows go, see if you can kill some more."

"General Lin, do you want to use artillery?"

"There is no need for artillery. When the troops were withdrawing, the crowd was too scattered, and it was too uneconomical to shoot out the artillery. It is better to save some shells. I always feel that this group of Beiyuan people may have a conspiracy."
