Chapter 556 Impregnable

There were a large number of archers in the Liangzhou army, so the rain of arrows shot out was like a rainstorm, covering the entire city head of Yecheng, and the walls were filled with iron clusters of arrows.

"Infantry attacks the city!"

The heavy sound of drums and trumpets sounded slowly, like the roar of a giant, and the ant-like Liangzhou Army under the city walls immediately launched a fierce attack on Yecheng from three walls.

Countless ladders were set up on the top of the city. Each Liangzhou army moved skillfully and flew on the ladders using their hands and feet.

"What are you doing standing still? Throw stones and roll logs quickly." One of the generals supervising the battle at the top of the city was young but had a big beard. His appearance was similar to that of Shen Pei, but he was Shen Rong, Shen Pei's nephew.

The Jizhou army on top of the city was able to poke its head out under the counterattack of its own archers and the cover of a large iron shield.

Two Jizhou sergeants worked together to pick up a thick giant log, and then aimed it at the Liangzhou Army on the ladder and threw it hard, and a shadow suddenly fell down.

The Liangzhou Army on the ladder looked up and was startled. He hurriedly raised his hand to protect his shield on his head. At this time, the huge rolling log crashed down and landed just on the shield.

Boom!

The rolling wood hit the shield and made a sound, then rolled down along the shield.

"Damn, it was so dangerous." Liangzhou Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Although his arm was greatly shaken, he managed to save his life. If he was hit by a rolling log, even if he was not killed on the spot, it would be terrible if he fell. .

You must know that Yecheng is no better than an ordinary city. The city walls are tall. If you fall down, your head will be broken and your head will bleed. If you are not careful, you will break your muscles and bones or even fall to death on the spot. If it were an ordinary small county town, the city wall would only be a few feet high. If you fall down and slap your butt, you'll be fine.

However, the quality of the Liangzhou army is naturally uneven. The experienced soldiers can raise their shields in time to carry the rolling logs. Some unlucky ones are directly hit by the rolling logs and fall to the ground without saying a word, suddenly turning into a puddle of rubble. Meat.

Although the arrow rain from the Liangzhou Army was very dense, the rolling wood and rocks that fell from the top of the city fell like raindrops intermittently. The Liangzhou soldiers on the ladder were hit from time to time, and they were tragically hit. It fell down with a cry, and a pool of blood and rotten flesh piled up under the base of Yecheng's city wall.

After all, Yecheng is the central city of Jizhou. Not only is the city wall tall, but the city's treasury has sufficient defensive materials, so it won't be a problem to hold on for several months.

Although the rolling logs and stones on the top of the city fell like raindrops, the experienced and determined Liangzhou soldiers climbed up without fear of hardships and dangers.

Liu Ye, on the other hand, frowned and sighed: "Yecheng is really too strong. If we want to capture Yecheng, we don't know how many lives of soldiers it will take."

Jia Xu's face was expressionless: "General, as the saying goes, one general can make a thousand bones. Siege warfare is the most difficult, and it is understandable that the soldiers will be lost. General, don't waver."

Jia Xu has always been called a poisonous man, and he naturally does not look down upon harming the lives of some soldiers.

Liu Ye shook his head: "Those who go on the expedition are all elite soldiers. They cannot be trained in one or two years of combat."

Guo Jia nodded and agreed: "What the general said is absolutely true. It is indeed not a good idea to waste soldiers like this."

"That's it!" Liu Ye looked at Yecheng and said with firm eyes: "We will attack the city with all our strength today and see the effect. We can't just shrink away from the difficulty!"

Although the walls of Yecheng were tall, the Liangzhou army climbed up using hands and feet. Under the impact of rolling logs and stones, the first batch of siege soldiers finally reached the top of the city.

I saw a thick and powerful hand suddenly stretched out from under the city head, holding the city wall bricks hard, and then a tall and round figure suddenly jumped up and appeared on the city head. It was a Liangzhou military capital Bo.

"He's finally here, kill him!"

As the first Liangzhou Army officer, Du Bo, climbed to the top of the city, a head emerged from each ladder. Then dozens of Liangzhou Army soldiers and hundreds of Liangzhou Army soldiers boarded the top of the city together, stretching out their hands. He grabbed the ring-shou knife from his mouth and into his hand, with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

"kill!"

Hundreds of Liangzhou troops, as the first wave of advance soldiers, rushed out with excitement on their faces. They had been bombarded by Jizhou troops with rolling logs and rocks before, and now they could finally take revenge.

Shen Pei pointed his long sword at the city head, turned around and shouted angrily: "What are you doing standing still? Didn't you see that the enemy troops are rushing up? Drive the Liangzhou army down!"

The Jizhou soldiers who were crouching behind the female wall stood up one after another, shouted angrily, and rushed out together.

Before the two armies fought, a row of Jizhou Army crossbowmen suddenly appeared from behind the parapet. They placed their crossbows on the parapet and aimed at the Liangzhou Army who rushed to the top of the city. The sharp iron clusters were The arrow flashed with a cold light.

Whoosh whoosh!

"The enemy has archers, be careful!"

Puff puff!

The soldiers of Liangzhou were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another. They had no idea that the Shenpai Council would specially arrange a group of archers behind the female wall. However, they made a calculated calculation and saw the sharp arrows penetrate the Liangzhou army head-on. The armor on his body fell to the ground.

The closer the arrow was, the greater its force was. The distance between the Liangzhou Army on the top of the city and the crossbowmen of the Jizhou Army behind the female wall was only a few dozen steps, and they were immediately shocked.

The more than a hundred Liangzhou troops who rushed to the city suddenly fell half to the ground. At this time, the infantry of the Jizhou army suddenly rushed forward with swords and shields in their hands.

"Drive the Liangzhou army off the city wall!"

"Kill!"

Hundreds of Jizhou Army infantrymen rushed out, and all the swords in their hands fell down. The Liangzhou soldiers who rushed to the city were just hit by a round of crossbow fire, and they were either killed or injured. They were killed by Jizhou The army launched a strong attack and suffered heavy casualties immediately.

"What a matchmaker!"

Liu Ye, who was paying close attention under the city, was furious when he saw this scene, but he also felt a little admiration for Shen Pei. You must know that when the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Cangting failed one after another, and Yuan Shao was in defeat, it was Shen Pei who He defended Yecheng for several months and blocked Cao Jun's overwhelming offensive. His ability to defend the city was extraordinary.

However, the Liangzhou soldiers on the ladders continuously climbed to the top of Yecheng and launched a fierce attack on the enemy. However, under the double offensive of archers firing volleys and infantry charges arranged by Shen Pei, It has always been unable to launch a large-scale impact.

As long as the Liangzhou army gathered in a wave, the crossbowmen behind the female wall would fire a volley without saying a word, and the Liangzhou army would be killed or injured at close range. At this time, the infantry of the Jizhou Army rushed forward and killed the Liangzhou Army as if they were harvesting rice.

Liu Ye's brows became heavier and heavier, but Xu Huang was not happy at this time.

"The last general invites you to fight!"
