The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"The city gate is broken!"

At this time, another urgent report came, and Dugu Xin finally heard it clearly.

He immediately shouted: "Don't panic, pile up the big rocks in the doorway, completely block it for me, tell Mutong, let him no matter what the cost, must guard it for me, and absolutely don't let the enemy come in!"

"Yes!"

Although it looks chaotic on the wall, when it comes to doing things, they perform their duties and seem to be in an orderly manner.

"The enemy army is coming, ready to shoot arrows!"

"Fire arrows!"

Outside the pass, tens of thousands of people stepped on the phalanx one by one, with shields on their heads, and the formation was in order, undergoing the baptism of arrows.

Arrows rained all over the sky, shooting on the shield, some were bounced back, and some were just pierced into a sharp point, which did not cause any major impact at all.

This is the gap in weapons and equipment.

The Pingxi Army is Wang Kang's direct line, and they are all equipped with the best equipment.

And Zhao Guo's army, after so many years, has already completed the renewal.

Now the Fuyang family is the largest supplier of ordnance in the country, and even the imperial court needs to buy it.

Because the manufacturing technology has always been in the hands of Wang Kang.

On the battlefield, the difference in weapons is likely to affect the outcome of a war.

This situation was immediately noticed by Dugu Xin on the wall.

The enemy army rushed over, and they could only use long-distance shooting, but it seems that it has no effect so far.

But even so, it doesn't stop. No matter what, it must have a certain impact on the enemy, and we can't sit still.

Time passed little by little.

Seeing that the first phalanx was getting closer and closer to the Guan wall, it was about to rush to the Guan gate.

"Giant trees, big rocks are ready, smash them under the closed door!"

The door opening has already been blocked, and the outside of the door also needs to be blocked. This is a stupid way, but it is the most effective so far.

Although the gate is large, it is a mess, not smooth, and cannot accommodate a large number of enemy troops to enter. In this way, they only need to guard inside, and they can achieve the effect of one man guarding the gate, and no one can open it!

"boom!"

"boom!"

The artillery bombardment continued.

In a short period of time, a lot of gunpowder was consumed, and of course it had a certain effect.

The indiscriminate bombardment made the Guan wall in a state of disarray, and caused a lot of casualties to Dugu Xin.

The corpses piled up, and they were dragged away regardless of others, and the venue was cleared out for follow-up people to fill up.

At this time, the vanguard phalanx had already reached the closing point.

Seeing this situation, he naturally understood that he couldn't enter directly and had to clean up the inside.

And that takes time and a lot of energy.

The key point is that the enemy army will not allow you to clean up safely, but is constantly obstructing. There are huge stones and huge trees thrown down from above, and at the same time, bows and arrows are constantly shooting, causing great casualties here.

"Quick, clean it up!"

"hurry up!"

"The rest attack the wall!"

"Commando, go!"

The phalanx rushed forward one by one, and the commando hidden under the shield, dozens of people held the ladder to the wall.

Hold the shield in one hand to resist the enemy's attack, and climb quickly, preparing to attack the city wall.

It's not easy, and it's pretty tough.

Once you get on the ladder, you can't help yourself, and you can easily be stopped by the enemy.

"The enemy is on a ladder, shoot quickly!"

The enemy is also actively responding, this is the most conventional method in siege warfare and key attack warfare!

Of course, it is also the worst.

If you want to attack the city wall, it requires a lot of consumption, and you may not be able to succeed, the competition is the will!

A ladder is built to the wall, and there is still a little distance from the top of the wall. If it is directly built on the top of the wall, the enemy can easily push the ladder down, and it will be in vain.

This scene looks quite spectacular.

Now the input of troops has reached a certain scale.

Every ladder has soldiers climbing up.

The previous bombardment had an effect, and there were vacancies in some places, and the enemy could not stop them quickly, but there were also some ladders that suffered serious blows from the enemy.

The hot kerosene poured down directly, causing the soldiers on the ladder to be scalded instantly and fell down due to great pain.

Some were also thrown by boulders!

Casualties continue to increase!

In the rear, Wang Kang held a telescope and clearly saw the scene in the field.

In fact, this is just a routine situation, an indispensable part of traditional siege warfare, and it is normal to have consumption.

But Wang Kang rarely used this method.

He never thought of using expendable means to win.

But this battle is different.

The wall of Jianmen Gate is high and thick, and it spreads extremely long. Even artillery can't blow down the wall at once. This requires a huge amount of gunpowder, but the gunpowder has long been short of supplies and cannot be satisfied.

Only in this combination.
