The White Horse Raids the Three Kingdoms

"Whoosh-"

"Whizzing--"

As arrows with fire shot out from the city wall of Yijing City, one Jinglan cart after another caught fire on the way close to the city wall, causing Yuan soldiers to scramble to put out the fire.

"Fire the arrows! Aim at those Yuan soldiers!"? Tian Yu's face was tense, his lips were tightly pressed, and there was no wave in his tiger eyes, as if he had long been accustomed to sacrifices in war.

Soon, amidst the noise of people, the soldiers of the Youzhou Army above Yijing City launched the first wave of arrow rain attacks on the soldiers of the Yuan Army who were charging.

Immediately, arrows were overwhelmingly coming towards the north bank. Even some old soldiers subconsciously held their breath at the scene.

It has to be said that even the old soldiers of Yuan Jun who had participated in many battles couldn't help being stunned.

So much so that those soldiers hadn't experienced the horror of "thousands of arrows all at once" until now—the sight made them even unconsciously think of the locust swarm they had seen before.

"what--"

"Ahhh-"

After a while, Yuan Jun's soldiers fell to the ground one after another, but the morale of the soldiers did not drop. The soldiers in front fell down, and the soldiers behind picked up the fallen logs and continued to move forward.

840 Battle of Eryijing ([-])

"Everyone is ready to fight! All generals, fight hard, and take down Yi Jing with me!"

Following Yuan Shao's order, all the officers and soldiers of the Yuan army tensed up and concentrated their attention.

"go ahead!"

"Roar!"

Countless Yuan Jun infantry stepped forward, roared and charged.

"kill--!"

With the blowing of the attack horn, Yuan Jun's army began to gather.

The Jinglan cars, ladders, and Chong cars that attacked the city began to be arranged in an orderly manner.

"The whole army is on alert!" Tian Yu roared, and he also understood that the real battle had just begun.

"Listen to my orders!" Tian Yu snatched the bows of the soldiers around him, put the arrows on the bows.

All the soldiers followed Tian Yu's movements under the command of his general.

"Let go!" Tian Yu sipped again.

"Light the torch, point it at the well rail, and let it go!"

"Puff puff!"

Arrows rained down.

"Fight back! Fight back!" General Yuan Jun responded immediately.

Immediately, several Jinglan chariots stopped in place, and immediately, many Yuan Jun's archers climbed onto the top of the Jinglan chariot and shot arrows towards Yi Jingcheng, so that the archers in Yi Jingcheng could no longer act recklessly. Destroy the well rail car with fire arrows.

These Yuan Jun, using their own height, shot directly at the soldiers of the Youzhou Army in the direction of the head of Yijing City from the car, and at the same time covered their own ladders, approached the city wall, destroyed the stacking wall, and directly attacked the defenders on the city wall.

While the arrows shuttled, there were about three or four other Jinglan carts, which were pushed towards the city by teams of Yuan Bing.

Finally, two Jinglan carts, under the protection of soldiers, braved arrows and approached the city wall. When they lowered the wooden boards suspended on the top with a bang, teams of Yuan soldiers quickly walked along the inside of the Jinglan cart. Go back to the "attic" by the back staircase, and then step on the "suspension bridge" to rush to the city wall of Yijing City.

attack!attack!

Yuan Jun launched an attack.

Yuan Bing and Youzhou soldiers fought desperately on the suspension bridge and on the city wall. Amidst roars, roars, and screams, every time they blinked, a Yuan Bing or Youzhou soldier died or fell on the city wall. up, or fell from the city to the city.

"set fire!"

When the Jing Lan car just arrived at the foot of Yi Jing City.

At this time, there is no need for Yuan Jun's archers to attack the Jinglan carts outside the city with fire arrows, because those Jinglan carts are already very close, so the soldiers of the Youzhou Army only need to throw away the oil tanks and torches they carry with them. In the past, it was enough to directly ignite the well rail car.

Compared with rockets, this saves a lot of effort.

However, Tian Yu noticed that inside the burning well rail cars, there seemed to be Yuan Bing pouring water on the outer wall, so that the water dripped down.

At first, Tian Yu thought it was Yuan Bing who were stupid, but he gradually discovered that even though the outside of the well fence car was still burning, the spread of the fire was strangely slow when Yuan Bing poured water on the inner wall of the well fence car. down.

"Because the wood absorbed the water and stopped the fire from spreading?" 』

Tian Yu frowned and pondered, while his gaze was fixed on some chariots filled with wooden barrels in Yuan Bing's team outside the city. According to his observation, those wooden barrels seemed to be filled with water, obviously used for Beware of Yi Jingcheng's fire attack tactics.

Not easy to do!

Tian Yu frowned, and began to think of countermeasures.

"Up the ladder!" General Yuan Jun over there shouted loudly, commanding the army to dispatch.

The aerial ladder is composed of four parts: wheels, ladder body, hook and underframe.

The ladder body can be tilted up and down, and the leaning frame can be lifted to the city wall by manpower; there is a hook at the top of the ladder, which is used to hook the edge of the city; there are wheels under the ladder body, which can be moved.

The bottom frame of the cloud ladder is made of wood, with six wheels underneath. The ladder body is fixed on the chassis at a certain angle, and a movable "auxiliary ladder" is added outside the main ladder. A pair of potter's wheels are installed on the top. The ladder can move up and down freely along the city wall, no longer needing people to carry it on their shoulders.

Soon, under the guard of Yuan Jun, several ladders approached Yijing Chengguan. In order to prevent the auxiliary ladder from detaching from the wall prematurely, the top of the auxiliary ladder was equipped with hooks and ropes for fixing and adjusting the direction of the ladder with the people below. .

Since the advantage of the ladder is that it can reach the city at the fastest speed, it must move quickly.

After all, there are many ways to use siege in ancient times, but most of them are based on the premise of quickly ascending the city, and the ladder must be bold, fast, and take advantage of the situation to enter the city.

Therefore, there are various light and simple flying ladders commonly used.

For a moment, the ladder was flying in the air.

There is also a wooden city wall outside Yijing City, and an earthen city wall inside, which is quite tightly defended.

The Yuan army soldiers who attacked the city first shot upwards with bows and crossbows, repelled the guards on the city, burned down the wooden city with fire, held crossbows and swayed long halberds for cover, then quickly approached the earth city, built ladders on all sides, and climbed the city by the ladders.

This kind of siege method is a strong attack, which shortens the confrontation time between the two sides as much as possible, and quickly breaks through the city defense in one go. Therefore, a lightweight flying ladder must be used. The flying ladder is simple in structure, light in weight, and mostly made of wood and bamboo.

boom!After suffering enormous casualties, the first ladder hooked up to the city wall.

Soon, Yuan Jun soldiers stopped the main body of the ladder under the city, and put the auxiliary ladder on the city wall. On the ladder frame, countless Yuan Jun soldiers climbed up the wall.

"Not good!" Seeing such a scene, Tian Yu immediately shouted, "Kill!"
