Chapter 23 The fortified city has been broken
The clear sword cry sounded on the battlefield, and a cold light suddenly bloomed.
With the sharp sword in his hand pointing forward, the Wei army's commander, Sima Gongsun Qi, issued an order to attack to the surrounding Wei army.
"The whole army obeys the order..."
"Attack!"
"Dong dong dong..."
The exciting sound of war drums in their ears aroused the fighting spirit in the hearts of the Wei army officers. They clenched the sharp swords and heavy oars in their hands and attacked the city wall in front.
Seeing the Wei army outside the city pressing towards him and others like a thick mountain, the eyes of the defending Han army inside the city were full of fear.
The sound of swallowing was constantly ringing in their ears, their hands unconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands, and their eyes were closely watching Wei Jun's every move.
Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps...
When the first Wei soldier entered the range of the Korean army's crossbow, an angry roar suddenly sounded from the city wall.
"The crossbowmen are ready..."
Hearing this order from behind, groups of Korean crossbowmen on the city wall suddenly stepped out and aimed their strong bows and crossbows at the approaching Wei soldiers.
"put!"
Another command came from behind, and the Korean army's crossbowmen pointed their sharp arrows upward slightly and fired them out at the same time.
The vibrating sounds of countless bowstrings resounded on the city wall, and countless piercing sounds passed through the distance between the two armies. Soon, this wave of arrows appeared above the heads of the Wei army outside the city.
Looking at the dark clouds composed of arrows in the sky, the faces of the Wei soldiers in the square formation showed solemn expressions.
"Arrow, raise your shield!"
The instinct of soldiers was vividly displayed in these Wei soldiers. Almost at the moment when the arrows appeared, the Wei soldiers at the front of the square had already raised their shields.
The next moment, arrows struck Wei soldiers like raindrops.
In an instant, the dull sound of arrows piercing into the wooden shield and the continuous wailing sound composed a tragic battle sound.
Facing the waves of arrows from the Korean army on the city wall, and facing the fallen comrades around them, the Wei soldiers did not sit still and wait for death.
On the one hand, the Wei soldiers at the front of the team began to accelerate their pace; on the other hand, the crossbowmen in the Wei army also began to make their own voices.
Next, the Han army inside the city and the Wei army outside the city began to shoot at each other continuously with the strong bows and crossbows in their hands across the thick city wall.
Often, the Korean soldiers on top of the city had just fired a wave of arrows, causing some damage to the Wei army outside the city. Before they could rest for a moment, a hail of arrows fell from outside the city.
Whether inside or outside the city, there are painful wailing sounds every minute and every second, and people lose their lives every moment.
After several rounds of arrows from both sides, a ladder appeared at the top of the city.
"The siege ladder, the Wei army is about to come up."
This frightened cry sounded on the city wall, and the atmosphere among the Korean army immediately fell into solemnity.
Later, as more and more siege ladders appeared on the city wall, the Korean soldiers knew that a truly cruel battle was coming.
Looking at the Wei soldiers climbing up the ladder below, the Han army immediately took its own countermeasures.
Rolling logs and stones fell from the city wall. Wei Jun, who was climbing up below, had no room to escape and was hit by these heavy objects falling from the sky.
Some of the Wei soldiers who were climbing up fell directly from the ladder, and some even rolled down with their comrades behind them.
The defensive methods of the Han army at the top of the city were not only rolling logs and falling rocks, but also the ladders that the Wei army set up on top of the city.
Under the organization of a Korean general, countless Korean soldiers suddenly exerted force, and the ladder that was leaning against the city wall fell down.
As for the soldiers of the Wei army on the ladder, they became the wreckage on the battlefield together with the ladder.
Looking at the figures of the Wei army falling on the city wall in front, the tenacity of the Han soldiers can be seen clearly.
It's just that two fists can't beat four hands after all, and the huge disparity in numbers between the two armies still makes the Korean army at the top of the city feel that it is really stretched.
Just when the Han soldiers were struggling to deal with the steady stream of Wei soldiers, a figure appeared on the top of the city.
Looking at the red figure that suddenly appeared in front of them, the faces of the two Korean soldiers on the city wall suddenly showed a bit of solemnity.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, they barely hesitated and stabbed the Wei soldier with their long swords.
Hearing the sound of the air breaking from in front of him, the Wei Jun took half a step downwards, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.
Immediately afterwards, taking advantage of the enemy's old strength and the lack of new strength, this Wei Jun decisively seized the opportunity and jumped, and finally stood safely on the top of the city.
At this moment, this Wei Jun is like a carriage running on a steep mountain road. It is impossible to retreat. The only thing that can be done is to move forward, forward...
His heart skipped a beat, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes. The Wei soldier rushed directly towards the two Korean soldiers in front of him who had just attacked him.
The long sword in his hand waved to deflect the oncoming long sword. The long sword in the Wei Jun's hand stabbed forward like a poisonous snake.
The next moment, the Korean soldier felt severe pain in his chest, and fell to the ground before he had time to react.
Seeing his comrade die in the opponent's hands, another Korean soldier was so angry that he slashed straight at the opponent with his long sword.
It was too late, but soon, just when the sharp sword was about to fall, a clear sound of metal collision appeared at the top of the city.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! While the Wei army was fighting with the Han army, several more Wei soldiers climbed up the city wall, and the attack just now was blocked by these later Wei soldiers.
Down.
Guiding the long sword on the opposite side to deflect a few degrees, the Wei sergeant seized the opportunity and directly sent the long sword in his hand into the opponent's chest.
Suddenly pulling out his long sword and letting the enemy fall straight in front of him, Sergeant Wei looked at the figure who climbed the stairs first.
"Captain, are you okay?"
"A few Korean soldiers can't kill me."
Afterwards, seeing more and more Korean troops ahead, and seemingly determined not to give up until they were eliminated here, the eyes of this Wei soldier suddenly radiated a cold light.
"Array."
Along with this sound, several Wei soldiers who appeared on the top of the city quickly formed a simple military formation.
Facing the surging Korean soldiers from the front, these Wei soldiers used the military formation to cooperate closely and killed one Korean soldier after another in front.
Originally, the number of the Han army was not as large as that of the Wei army, but now that a large number of troops were restrained by this area, the rest of the army inevitably fell into the dilemma of weak military strength.
Soon, as the war continued to progress, more and more Wei troops followed the ladders on the city wall and stood on the city wall.
At this point, in this city offensive and defensive battle between South Korea and Wei, the balance of victory has tilted towards the Wei army.
On the city wall, the Wei troops who already had the upper hand began to work with their comrades to gradually expand the area they occupied.
Under the city wall, those Wei soldiers who were pushing the carts and rushing forward were almost achieving their goals.
"boom"
"boom"
"boom"
…
Accompanied by one after another of shocking noises, the solid city gate finally failed to withstand this critical blow.
The city is broken!
