But when the rain of stone bullets crossed the city wall and landed behind him, Xue Tong's face instantly turned pale. He turned around and ran to the rear female wall to take a look. Except for nothing, more than [-]% of the generals and civilians who operated the ballista were killed

Yang, all the ballistas were more or less destroyed, and none of them were still usable.

"Damn it, damn it!" Xue Tong yelled, clenching his fist and beating hard on the wall.

"General, now is not the time to get angry. The more this is the case, the more you must remain calm!" the deputy general urged loudly.

Xue Tong calmed down, he took a deep breath, and ordered extremely calmly: "Send the order to transfer all the second, third, and fourth defensive echelons to the city wall. Today, the Japanese general will make the army pay the price!"

The lieutenant had already guessed what Xue Tong was about to do, and he clasped his fists and agreed: "Obey!"

A large number of defenders and generals who were resting in rotation received orders to take weapons and came to the city to hide, a total of more than [-] people!

All the defenders on the city wall held shields to defend against the attacking generals. The generals pushed the wheeled ladder under the wall again, and four soldiers rushed up the wall at a time with weapons.

"kill--"

"kill--"

The two sides started a hand-to-hand battle on the city wall again. As Wang Huilong invested more and more troops, more and more cadres rushed to the city wall.

As a result, the well fence was further pushed closer to the city wall by the soldiers below, and springboards were put on the city wall from the well fence.

"Ha, it's done, it's done, this time at least 600 people rushed to the city wall, this city is for sure!"

But Gao Xu couldn't be happy for too long, Xue Tong ordered on the city wall: "Let go!"

The defenders on the enemy building swung their knives and cut the ropes, and the thick horizontal beams hanging between the tripod and the enemy building instantly swung from the heights. There were heavy objects hanging from the lower ends of those horizontal beams, like the pendulum of a bell. Hanging on the city wall, it keeps swinging from side to side.

The stepping arrows, ladders, wheeled ladders, and well rails were all knocked down and destroyed by these swinging horizontal bars, and all the soldiers on them fell down, causing countless deaths and injuries.

Wang Huilong, Gao Xu and the soldiers of the Qianjun Army were all stunned by the huge disaster in front of them. It turned out that these tripod brackets and hanging crossbars were used in this way.

"Kill—" The four thousand Liu Song troops hiding at the foot of the city wall quickly rushed up to the city wall to join the battle, and the soldiers who lost their support were surrounded by strands all over the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Junsheng's expression became extremely serious, "It's over, all the 600 people are over!"

Chapter 637

The ladders, wheeled ladders, well rails and the arrows nailed to the wall were all knocked down and destroyed by the swinging wooden pendulum.

The huge pendulum-shaped giant tree also hung heavy objects, and the siege weapons such as ladders, wheeled ladders, and well rails were almost vulnerable to it, and they were all knocked down, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers.

There were screams under the city wall, and the soldiers of the army who were so frightened that they stepped back dozens of steps wanted to step forward to rescue the wounded soldiers who were still alive and the comrades who were surrounded by the city wall, but they dared not approach at all. The pendulum that stopped swinging killed and flew.

Some daring generals figured out the rules of the pendulum swing, and took advantage of the interval between going back and forth in the middle, quickly stepped forward to drag the wounded soldiers and then retreated, and other soldiers followed suit one after another.

The wounded soldiers under the city can be rescued temporarily, but the soldiers and generals who were divided and surrounded on the city wall could not get any reinforcements. The ladders and wheeled ladders were all knocked down. The soldiers finally took the ladders back. The wheeled ladders and well curbs were knocked apart and could no longer be used.

Even if there is still a ladder, as long as it is put on the city wall, it will be hit by a pendulum-like pendulum. Although this thing will not swing back and forth forever, and it will gradually lose its kinetic energy after a long time, the defenders tied a thick pendulum to the end of the pendulum. The rope, the thick rope is connected to the winch of the enemy building. Every once in a while, after the pendulum loses most of its kinetic energy, it will be pulled back to the highest point by the defenders to give it new potential energy. The pendulum falls again and starts to swing, and the potential energy is transformed again. for kinetic energy.

The soldiers of the army below the city wanted to rescue the comrades trapped on the city wall, but they couldn't get close, unable to climb up the city wall, so they could only stand on the city wall blankly looking up at the comrades on the city wall. were killed.

"Brothers, we have no reinforcements, no way out, we can't go back!"

A commander-in-chief of the Qianjun shouted, hacked to death a Liu Song soldier who rushed up, and said loudly to all the generals of the Qianjun trapped on the city wall: "But we can't kill at the neck, we can't wait to die, Liu Song! The army wants to kill us, we have to make them pay the price! If we die in battle, we will receive compensation, and our bones can return to our hometown. The family will live a life of glory, even if we die in battle, it is worth it. Long live the king!"

"Long live!"

"Kill ah-"

The more than [-] soldiers of the cadre army who had no hope of escape regarded death as home, and broke out with strong fighting power. At the beginning, Liu Song's army was killed and retreated steadily.

These soldiers were originally brought by Wang Huilong from Xingyang. Although they belonged to the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, they were not Zhao Junsheng's direct descendants. They were only loyal to Wang Huilong. But since Sima Chuzhi returned to Zhao Junsheng, Wang Huilong has also become Zhao Junsheng's subordinates. General, the soldiers he brought will naturally become dry soldiers and enjoy the same treatment as other dry soldiers.

The trapped beasts are still fighting, and the dogs jumping over the wall are the current situation of these more than 600 soldiers trapped on the city wall. Wang Huilong looked anxiously at the base of the city. He ran to Gao Xu and begged: "General, I beg you to send troops for reinforcements, otherwise this More than 5000 people will be finished! The general will bring 3000 troops from Xingyang, and now there are only 5000 people left. If these people are lost here, there will be very few [-] people left. General, please!"

Gao Xu took a deep breath and turned to face Wang Huilong, "General Wang, calm down, why doesn't this general want to save them? But look, how can we save them? The ladders can't get close, and neither can the soldiers. It was smashed to pieces!"

Wang Huilong jumped anxiously: "Then what should we do? Do you want the last general to watch them being wiped out at the top of the city by Liu Song's army?"

Taking advantage of Wang Huilong's inattention, Gao Xu swung a palm knife and slashed at Wang Huilong's neck. Wang Huilong rolled his eyes and passed out.

"Come here, take him back to the camp, send someone to take care of him, collect his weapons, and don't let him commit suicide!"

"Yes, General!" Several soldiers stepped forward and carried the unconscious Wang Huilong back.

All the soldiers of the army were watching from outside the city. Those who participated in the siege, those who did not attack the city, those in the siege battalion, and the cavalry, all quietly watched their comrades besieged on the city wall, desperate to die fight.

After the battle lasted for two full hours, the soldiers trapped on the city wall took advantage of the long and narrow nature of the city wall to deal with the defenders and cooperate with each other to support them.

Assistance, always persisting, striving to kill more defenders.

Half of the more than 600 people were lost, leaving only more than 600 people. Although Liu Song's defenders had an advantage in strength, the terrain constraints prevented their strength from being brought into full play, and Liu Song's army also lost more than [-] people.

This is the first time that so many days have passed since the initial siege battle!

For two full hours, Zhao Junsheng's brows have been furrowed. He tried his best to think of a way to solve the situation in front of him, trying to save the soldiers who were trapped on the city wall, but he had no clue.

If you want to save people, the prerequisite is to solve those large tripods and hanging pendulums. If you don't solve these defensive weapons, the soldiers will not be able to get close to the city wall.

How to solve these tripods and pendulums?

Zhao Junsheng temporarily called all the generals, staff and officials of the army over.

"We can't just do this and watch the soldiers be surrounded and killed. We must do something! Think of a way and see if we can destroy those tripods and pendulums!"

Before Zhao Junsheng summoned them, these generals and officials had actually been thinking of a way, but they had thought of all the ways they could think of, and none of them could cause substantial damage to these large tripods and pendulums.

"Your Majesty, why don't you use a trebuchet instead, or try using a bed crossbow?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Bao expressed his thoughts first.

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "It's not that I haven't tried it before. The hit rate of the trebuchet is too low. After dropping so many stone bullets, none of them hit; the bolts of the bed crossbow have limited power, and the bolts are nailed to the thick pillars of the tripod. No response at all!"

Everyone was lost in thought, and the surrounding atmosphere was a bit oppressive. The pain in their hearts watching those soldiers trapped on the city wall and being surrounded and wiped out was really indescribable.

After a long time, a voice suddenly broke the silence, and the supervisor of the siege battalion said: "My lord, I have thought of a way, but I don't know if it will work..."

Zhao Junsheng was in a bad mood, raised his hand and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't chatter!"

"Uh, yes!" The supervisor of the siege battalion gathered himself together, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, didn't the craftsman camp send a batch of fire oil tanks a few days ago? I think you can use a wheeled trebuchet to blow these fire oil tanks." The oil bombs were fired at the tripods and pendulums, and according to the craftsmen in the craftsman camp, those fire oil tanks would catch fire if they fell to the ground and shattered, would they catch fire if they hit those tripods?"

Cui Hao asked suspiciously: "Fire oil tank? If you smash it, it will catch fire? Impossible, you pour the kerosene on the ground and throw a torch to see if the kerosene will burn? Kerosene can burn, but It takes fire to burn!"

Zhao Junsheng has a different opinion. A few days ago, he went to the artisan camp to watch the craftsmen throwing kerosene cans. The kerosene tank is not only pure kerosene, the craftsmen mixed saws into the kerosene. For some flammable firelighters such as wood ash and silk wadding, the oil-soaked fuse on the kerosene tank was ignited in advance, and the kerosene tank was thrown out and smashed to the ground. Soon a large piece will be burned.
