Cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Originally excited and wanted to chase Ma Chao, he calmed down at this time, and he was too scared to go any further.

Watching Ma Chao escape like this.

This also achieved Tai Shici's goal. After all, if such an arrow could not kill Ta Dun, it could also bring a great threat to Ta Dun.

Although Ta Dun flinched, the soldiers brought out by Ta Dun did not flinch.

They quickly continued to chase after Ma Chao's figure.

However, before they could catch up with Ma Chao, they were hit by a large group of arrows shot from the tower next.

Puff puff.

Thousands of arrows shot out from the tower.

Instantly shot and killed the Karasuma cavalry rushing to the front.

Although more than a thousand arrows could not completely hit those Karasuma cavalry, but these Karasuma cavalry did not have any armor on their bodies, so whenever they were shot, they would be seriously injured immediately.

At least they lose the battle, and at worst they die on the spot.

Some people even have arrows in their bodies, and there is no possibility of surviving.

With the cover of these shooters on the tower, the charging Karasuma cavalry did not dare to advance rashly for a while.

There are not too many teammates behind him, rushing over rashly will only become a living target for the enemy.

Seeing that Ma Chao was getting closer and closer to the city gate.

Ta Dun gritted his teeth, knowing that the pursuit would be impossible.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered to stop the pursuit.

Take Alido, who was injured by Ma Chao but still alive, and retreat from here for the time being.

However, since they have already charged, the battle obviously cannot be stopped so easily.

It was impossible for Yuan Xi and Ke Bineng to swallow this breath. After Ta Dun withdrew, Yuan Xi immediately asked people to get out the siege equipment that had been tossed these days.

The trebuchet, a weapon, was considered popular at this time.

It's just that the names are slightly different. For example, Liu Zheng called it a trebuchet, but Yuan Xi and others used the northern name, which is called a thunderbolt car.

Projecting stones can severely damage the tower.

Ma Chao had just returned to the city when the trebuchet outside the city had already been pushed out.

Being so angry with Liu Zheng, they naturally wouldn't stop, and soon, the sound of "swoosh" came.

Boulders were thrown from a distance.

It smashed into the city, and even hit the top of the city tower, causing considerable damage to the city wall.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army has begun to attack the city. Please retreat into the city for now, so as not to be hit by the rocks and hurt the dragon's body."

After seeing the enemy attacking, Lu Su immediately ran to Liu Zheng's side from the tower, intending to make Liu Zheng retreat temporarily.

After all, siege is not a child's play, and the enemy's trebuchets don't have eyes.

If it hits Liu Zheng, it will not be a good thing.

However, Lu Su was thinking about Liu Zheng, but Liu Zheng didn't think so.

"Zijing, don't worry, the soldiers can risk their lives on the tower. If I, Liu Zheng, go down the tower, wouldn't it mean that I, Liu Zheng, are greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"Besides, I'm not inexperienced. I've attacked and defended the city dozens of times since I started fighting as a small soldier. How can I be afraid? Pass the order down, and the widow will defend the city with everyone!"

Of course Liu Zheng is not stupid.

He was naturally happy to be able to go down to hide, but Liu Zheng had fewer soldiers on the tower than the opponent. Once Liu Zheng got down from the tower, it would have little effect on his morale.

But when he stayed, he was able to inspire people's hearts and let Ma Chao's high morale to kill the opponent rose again.

In this way, in the face of the enemy's attack, it became much easier for these troops under Liu Zheng's command to defend the city.

"Well then, be careful, Your Majesty."

Lu Su didn't say much either, he understood that Liu Zheng's stay would improve the morale of the soldiers on the tower.

So after a word of persuasion, Liu Zheng didn't leave, so Liu Zheng was left alone.

He passed on the news, and as expected, there was a commotion on the tower.

Everyone knows that His Majesty the Emperor is about to advance and retreat with them.

At this time, the first round of trebuchet projections had come to an end.

These trebuchets under Yuan Xi's command are relatively simple, far from being as accurate as the trebuchets in Liu Zheng's hands.

More than a dozen trebuchets were fired at the same time, but there were not many attacks that actually landed on the tower.

Most of them fell into the city, but a lot of them were destroyed, the houses in the city.

With the projection of the two rounds of trebuchets as a cover, the enemy troops under the city also began to charge.

You Ke Bineng's cavalry took the lead and charged from a distance.

However, these cavalry were not for the purpose of attacking the city, and their role was only to cover the main force behind.

Because the Xianbei cavalry, like the Karasuma cavalry, are not only good at fighting on horseback, but also good at shooting and bowing horses.

It is also possible to do cavalry and archery. With these cavalry raids, they rushed to the bottom of the tower while shooting arrows at the tower to fight back.

Use the enemy troops still remaining on the tower as targets.

The real troops used to attack the city were naturally Yuan Xi's Han troops.

They have proficient siege skills.

Moreover, Yuan Xi has a powerful special forces under his command.

It's called Xiandeng Shishi.

This army was originally a special army commanded by Ju Yi. It was specially used to attack the city and was the first special force to climb the tower.

Ju Yi died during the civil strife among the Yuan family brothers. As soon as Ju Yi died, this army naturally fell into Yuan Xi's hands.

In the previous battles, Yuan Xi never used it. Now, it is time to use his trump card.

Three thousand Xiandeng dead soldiers, under the cover of Xianbei cavalry, quickly mixed into the battlefield.

At the beginning, we assumed tools such as ladders and climbing ropes for Xinducheng.

The soldiers on the tower were suppressed by arrows and trebuchets, so naturally they couldn't completely block these ladders, so they could only let them assume the ladders.

At the same time counterattack.

A mighty siege battle started at this moment.

Liu Zheng sat on the tower and commanded himself, waiting for the enemy's attack.

The first thousand and 120th chapters of the siege failed

"The enemy is coming, cut the rope!"

"Push down the ladder!"

"As for the archer, don't be overwhelmed by the enemy's arrows, shoot for me!"

"There are people on the left rushing up the tower, kill them with me!"

For a while, there was a lot of commotion on the tower because of the enemy's attack on the city.

There was chaos among the generals and soldiers.

Although it sounds messy, these people are dispatched in an orderly manner.

Everyone is under the management of different generals.

Everyone has their own duties, those who defend the city defend the city, those who shoot arrows shoot arrows, and those who fight in close combat fight in close quarters.

Everyone performs their duties and jointly defend against these attacking enemy forces.

All of a sudden, the battlefield really became tense.

Liu Zheng does not need to personally participate in the defense of the city.

With his status, it is already a great honor to be able to sit on the tower in person.

Encouraging the morale of one's own soldiers is far better than his personal participation in defending the city.

He only needs to stare at the attacking people below the city, observe them, and make some accurate judgments when the enemy army breaks through the capital city.

I thought it was a simple offensive and defensive battle.

However, when the tens of thousands of troops below the tower climbed up the tower one after another to attack with all their strength, Liu Zheng realized this.

Yuan Xi and the Xianbei people, who have been preparing for several days, are coming for real this time.

It seems that they want to determine the outcome of this battle and storm Xindu City.

Soldiers and horses continued to die, but there were still a steady stream of soldiers behind who were driven to the tower.

Xianbei people are not good at siege.

But they were able to draw fire from above the tower below the city.

And bring a lot of trouble to the defender.

In this way, the [-] dead men under Yuan Xi's command would be dead first.

There is a great opportunity to take the opportunity to climb the tower.

And once the guarding soldiers on the tower were affected.

The Xianbei army was able to take the opportunity to go under the city tower and began to charge the city gate.

Although the front and rear cooperation will lose some soldiers and horses, it has greatly improved the possibility of entering Xindu City.

The pace of the siege has just begun, and it didn't take long for the first dead men to climb the tower.

It immediately attracted Liu Zheng's attention.

It is not that Liu Zheng has never seen a brave army attacking the city.

Take the men under his command as an example, they are all brave and good at fighting.

Even if it is to attack the city and seize the territory, it will definitely be able to win the first place.

All of them are soldiers who are not afraid of death and sacrifice.

But even so, in the face of Yuan Xi's subordinates who died first.

Liu Zheng was an eye-opener.

All of these first ascended dead soldiers were raised by the Yuan family, and they were all fierce people who did not take life and death seriously.

In just a few moments, you can climb from the bottom of the city to the tower that is more than ten feet high.

Its bravery is evident.

It was almost impossible for the soldiers stationed on the city tower to stop these soldiers who used ladders to climb over the wall from below the city.

Fortunately, Liu Zheng had enough people stationed on the tower.

Only then can these first ascended dead soldiers be killed and retreated.

Although brave, the number of dead soldiers who climbed first was still a small number.

After wave after wave of charges, they all returned in vain, and most of the people were killed or injured afterwards.

Slowly the offense began to decline.

The cavalry under the city couldn't keep up with the footsteps of the first dead men, and they climbed up the tower together.

When the dead soldiers were almost killed in battle, the city gate under the city still hadn't been knocked open.

This led to the siege battle, which ultimately failed to break through the gate of Xindu City.

The battle lasted for more than an hour.

The three thousand Xiandeng soldiers were all killed and injured, and the Xianbei cavalry under the city also lost a lot.

Seeing that tens of thousands of people died in this battle, they still failed to break through the gate of Xindu City.
