"Kill it!"

No matter how angry Ma Teng was, following Li Li's order, Huang Zhong rode his horse and rushed to the front of the infantry formation. With a wave of his sword, five thousand Xiliang infantrymen attacked in response.But seeing them rushing towards the moat pushing five well curbs, and there were countless rolling logs and planks behind the well curbs, thousands of soldiers scrambled to the edge of the moat, pushed the well curbs into the river, and then threw huge logs into the well curbs In the middle, put on a thick and strong plank.In a very short period of time, the moat was cut off at the middle, and the Xiliang infantry stepped on the wooden boards on the river, and rushed straight to the city wall.

Filled with righteous indignation, Ma Teng watched Li Li on the other side of the river go away with fiery eyes. The moment the Xiliang infantry launched an attack, he quickly rode his horse back into the city.

At the same time when Ma Teng beat his horse back to the city and closed the city gate again, five thousand Xiliang infantry had already rushed through the moat, brandishing their weapons and carrying dozens of ladders, rushing to the city of Jicheng with arrogance and arrogance. .

"The catapults and crossbow arrays line up, attack without distinction, and fire continuously for half an hour!" Just as the infantry crossed the river, Guo Si leaped out of the battle and ordered sharply.

Immediately, more than one hundred catapults with a height of more than three feet were pushed to the front of the formation, and more than three hundred large crossbows came out at the same time, located thirty steps in front of the catapults.Thousands of heavy soldiers pushed more than a hundred two-wheeled carts filled with fire cans, large and small, to deliver "cannonballs" to the front of the formation, and two thousand warriors manipulated catapults and crossbows, ready to wait.

"Get ready, let go!"

The moment the gate of Jicheng was closed, the defenders on the top of the city began to shoot arrows at random, while the Xiliang infantry rushed to the city at this time.Just at this time, Guo Si suddenly waved his arms, and ordered the catapult and crossbow to attack immediately in anger.

All of a sudden, there was a roar of "咻咻咻" flying straight into the sky, hundreds of earthen jars filled with kerosene and iron filings were thrown into the air by catapults, and they rushed straight to the tower and the city of Jicheng.at the same time.The densely packed crossbow arrows "swish" pierced the sky, surpassed the fire pot with lightning speed, and rushed to the sky, and then the arrows turned sharply and tilted down.The defenders who rushed straight to the top of the city fell.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The tyrannical crossbow arrows whizzed towards Death God's horn.In an instant, it descended on the top of the city.

pause time.Hundreds of city defenders were nailed to death on the female wall immediately, many arrow stacks were destroyed by powerful crossbow arrows, gravel and sawdust were scattered in all directions, screams and blood danced together, and the tower suddenly became chaotic.

However, this kind of chaos was only a local panic in a small area of ​​the city. After entering the city, Ma Teng quickly climbed to the top of the city.Personally command the soldiers to defend the city.With him sitting at the head of the city, the defenders had to bite the bullet and defend the city, shooting random arrows to kill the Xiliang infantry below the city, and pushing all the defensive utensils such as logs, kerosene, and boulders to the city.Give the Xiliang infantry who forcibly attacked the city a head-on blow, preventing them from reaching the top of the city.

"Boom, boom!"

As soon as the crossbow arrows fell, hundreds of earthen pots fell from the sky, and suddenly smashed everywhere on the tower.

Immediately, there were loud "rumbling" noises on the top of the city, one after another, continuously.Amidst the loud noise, the earthen pot suddenly exploded, and sparks and fireballs splattered with countless iron filings, directly blowing down three arrow towers. Severed arms are everywhere.

In this round of explosive bombardment of the cupping tanks, at least hundreds of soldiers died, and thousands of city defenders were burned by the tanks or wounded by iron filings.Although most of the wounded soldiers were not fatal and could recover after a few days of rest, they were now out of combat.

"Kill, kill, kill me hard! Today, as long as you defend the city and don't let a single enemy soldier climb to the top of the city, this general will reward you with [-] yuan, enough wine and meat, and the women in the city will let you enjoy yourself!"

On the top of the city, Ma Teng drew out his sword, raised his arms and shouted, he spared no expense of gold, silver, wine, meat, and beautiful women to inspire the defenders to fight the enemy bravely and hold the top of the city firmly.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Hoo, hoo hoo"

In front of the Xiliang army formation below the city, a crossbow arrow shot up into the sky rapidly, like a dense rain of black arrows slanting down, and fell straight to the city of Ji.Crock pots with howling flames broke through the sky, roared and smashed towards the top of the city, reaping the lives of the defenders.

"Whoosh whoosh! Bang"

"what!"

The head of the city of Ji County is the place where the Xiliang Army's long-range strikes raged, and the place below the head of the city was the place where the Ma's army frantically killed.As countless arrows flew down from high above, logs, boulders, and kerosene plummeted down one after another, the thousands of Xiliang infantry attacking the city decreased sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Rolling logs flew down head-on, boulders fell head-on, pots of kerosene poured down, ladders were overturned, and arrows came one after another.The [-] Xiliang infantry were hit head-on, and every soldier who was not afraid of death was hit by arrows, logs or boulders, and died immediately; every warrior who climbed the city was overturned from the ladder or poured on the fire, screaming. Falling from the sky, you will be disabled even if you don't die.

Suddenly, under the city of Ji County, there were continuous screams and wailing, and broken bodies and arms were everywhere.The blood mist sprayed on the city wall around the east city gate, and the land within a radius of 500 meters was dyed dark red and bloody.

The fierce battle is in full swing, and the offensive and defensive fighting is in full swing.

Every minute and every second, dozens of soldiers from both sides died in battle. The killing was vividly reflected at this moment, bloody and cruel.

In front of the Xiliang Chinese Army.

Li Li looked at the siege battle in front of him calmly, without the slightest pity on his face, and no emotion in his eyes.His eyes did not stay too much on his own soldiers below the city, but more on Ma Teng and tens of thousands of guards on the top of the city.Only when he turned his gaze to the city gate, did his expression change slightly, and a strong murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

Time passed slowly amid the killing, and the first wave of attacks by the Xiliang army gradually came to an end.

In the siege battle that took less than half an hour, the Ma's army on the top of the city suffered as many as 3000 casualties, while the [-] Xiliang infantry below the city was almost completely destroyed.Only hundreds of soldiers at the gate of the city are still trying their best to hit the gate.

The catapults and crossbows in front of the Xiliang army's formation had a huge damage to the Ma's army in the first few waves of attacks, but the subsequent attacks were limited and had little effect.After several rounds of fire cans and crossbow arrows, the defenders on the top of the city gradually found a way to avoid the attack, and quickly dodged when they heard the whistling sound above their heads.After several attempts, they repeatedly avoided the attacks of earthen jars and crossbow arrows, ruthlessly killed the enemy soldiers who attacked the city, and firmly held the top of the city.

"My lord, the moat at the east gate has been filled. Our army can attack the city!" Just as the Xiliang infantry failed in the first wave of attack, Jia Xu rode his horse to Li Li's side and reported respectfully.

Li Li nodded slightly when he heard the words, and immediately ordered sharply: "All the catapults and crossbow formations are pushed to the river bank, and there is no need to keep all the siege equipment. Give me a hard bombardment of the city! Huang Zhong and Guo Si obey the order, and the infantry is in the front .The chariots and well rails then pressed up. Stormed the city gate. The Qinglong Battalion marched to the front, ready to rush into the city at any time and seize the city! Siege the city!"

Following Li Li's order to attack the city again, Huang Zhong, who was in his prime, took the lead, and personally led an army of [-] troops across the moat, rushing straight down the city.The only fifty catapults and more than one hundred crossbows remaining in the rear of the army were all pushed to the east bank of the moat.Under the cover of the giant shield soldiers, more than [-] catapults and [-] crossbows roared again, and fire cans and crossbow arrows flew towards the city head.

At the same time, Guo Bang and Pang De led the [-] Qinglong Battalion warriors to stand neatly by the moat.The soldiers are gearing up, eager to try, ready to give Jicheng a thunderous blow at any time.Once the infantry breaks through the east gate, the Qinglongying cavalry will rush into Jicheng immediately, seize the gate, and then capture Jicheng and destroy the Majia army.

"Boom boom boom!"

"kill!"

Pushed by hundreds of soldiers, the heavy cart ran over the planks on the moat and rushed to the city gate.Under the city, Huang Zhong dismounted from his horse, and personally led thousands of infantrymen to push the ten-foot-long giant log into the city gate.Under the cover of the shield soldiers, the remaining [-] infantrymen set up ladders, pushed the well rails, stepped on the bodies of the fallen soldiers, rushed to the bottom of the city, and stormed the city again.

"Boom boom boom!"

The crossbow arrows with huge lethality descended on the city of Ji County again, and hundreds of "fire bombs" exploded recklessly, causing the defenders on the tower to become confused again.This time, the number of crossbow arrows and cupping pots far exceeded the previous bombardment range, and the lethality also doubled sharply. hair difficult.

"boom!"

Suddenly, with a loud bang, the entire tower trembled, causing Ma Teng, who was standing in the center of the tower, to sway and almost hit the female wall.After holding onto the top of the wall to stabilize his figure, Ma Teng's expression suddenly changed, and his face instantly turned pale.

"No, the enemy army is attacking the city gate with all its strength!" Ma Teng exclaimed in dismay as he leaned over and looked at the huge charging cart below the city.At this time, he wanted to personally lead the troops to defend the city gate, but he was also worried that Xiliang soldiers would attack the city. What made him feel helpless was that he had no generals around him, and he himself was too weak to take care of both.

"The personal guards obey the order and immediately go down to the city to block the city gate. The enemy must not be allowed to break through the city gate!" In desperation, Ma Teng had no choice but to send his own [-] personal guards to guard the city gate.Right now, he doesn't trust any of the generals under his command, worried that these people will be bewitched by Li Li's words of persuading them to surrender, and will not try their best to defend the city.Therefore, at this time of crisis, the only person he can trust is the personal soldiers who have been by his side all year round.

"Bang bang rumble!"

"Squeak!"

"It's broken!" Just as the guards left, Ma Teng keenly heard a crisp sound of the city gate cracking.In an instant, his face was ashen and he cried out in surprise, his figure slumped to the side of the city wall, his eyes were filled with despair and confusion.

"Boom!"

With another crash, the East City Gate collapsed.For a moment, the defenders on the top of the city were stunned, because they all heard the sound of the city gate breaking and collapsing, and they also saw tens of thousands of Xiliang iron horses rushing towards the city gate.

In less than an hour of fierce fighting, Jicheng was broken by Li Li's army!

Chapter 353

Sunset on the west mountain, a red afterglow illuminates the whole sky.

Under the city of Ji County.

The battle was over, and the strong smell of blood permeated the entire city of Ji, and the atmosphere of killing was wafting around for more than ten miles, which made people shudder.

Inside and outside the east gate of Jicheng, the original scene of corpses strewn across the field has disappeared, and only the dark red soil on this side records the previous tragic battle.

In the wilderness outside the city, the original emerald green wormwood has completely disappeared, replaced by a red land.The moat was blocked in the middle. At this moment, thousands of soldiers were dismantling the logs accumulated in the river, and hundreds of soldiers were salvaging along the river for the remains of broken arms and horse corpses in the river.
