This is still a small matter, but sometimes due to mistakes in the front and rear coordination, it is easy to cause one side of the large siege equipment that was originally moving forward smoothly to lose its position, and then naturally collapse and fall without any suspense.
As a result, some coalition soldiers had to pay the bill with their lives, and they were still crushed to death by these giant siege weapons, and they had to wail in agony for a while before they died. This was an even more tragic way to die.
At this time, the fellow soldiers around me did not dare to stop for this. Even if they endured the painful wails of their companions who had eaten and drank with them, they did not dare to stop or look back. After all, there were still military orders. Since a
After starting to embark on this road, they have no choice but to continue to rush forward and finally complete the task of conquering the city.
In addition, the large trebuchets on the upper floor of Xingyang East City are not only placed there to act as a deterrent. Although they have shortcomings such as slow movement, complicated filling, and difficulty in aiming, when used against large targets such as siege equipment,
These defects will be well covered
The cover was removed, which produced great power. Swish, swish, trebuchets were started. Under Dong Zhuojun's skillful operation, the filled boulders were quickly thrown into the air, and then formed a parabola towards the slowly moving ladder.
, towers and other objects were smashed hard.
Well, the bang bang is so broken, the sound of collapse is endless, the wooden structure has determined that these things are difficult to withstand the strong blows of more hard objects.
The combined tool, the Goddess, generally scatters flowers from the sky and falls into the advancing army. It will also cause a lot of casualties, which can be said to be an unreasonable disaster.
Of course, Dong Zhuo's army's offensive at the head of Xingyang City is fierce, especially this round of shooting that seems to have no end, which can be said to be the most skillful characteristics of their bows and horses. The bows and arrows that cover the sky are daunting, except for those riding on the red horse.

No one dared not take Lu Bu seriously, not to mention that Lu Bu only appeared to be fine, but still maintained enough caution. However, there are no absolutes in the world, and there were still some fish that slipped through the net and broke through this fierce defense.
Entered the core area.
There happened to be a water source near Xingyang City. It was dug out and surrounded by a circle outside the city to form a moat. After a period of excavation by Xu Huang, the moat is now about one foot** wide. This width is very beneficial to possessing Chi Tu.
For Lu Bu, it might be nothing. As long as Chitu jumped up, he might be able to pass. But that doesn't mean that others can do the same.
The last time the coalition forces invaded Xingyang, this moat did not play a big role. After all, the coalition's strategy at that time was to cooperate with the inside and outside. Since it is difficult to invade from the outside, start from the inside. You must know that the strongest fortress is often the strongest.
They were all breached from within; but now they face
It is no longer that idiot Yang Feng but Xu Huang, and after what happened last time, Xu Huang attaches great importance to the safety of himself and his subordinates, as well as the issue of spies in the city. Even those who sneak into the alliance army,
It was difficult to do anything, which forced them to attack from the outside.
Therefore, this moat naturally became a stumbling block for the Alliance soldiers who finally broke through the rain of arrows and brought siege equipment here, and it seemed to be somewhat insurmountable.
At this time, Lu Bu, who had been at the forefront of the alliance army, could not turn a blind eye to this, but obviously it was impossible to ask the people in the city to lower the suspension bridge to let them pass through the moat, so they had to find another way.
However, this moat only hindered the well-prepared coalition forces, that is, the ramming wood could not function. However, the coalition forces had already prepared a sufficient ladder, which spanned diagonally from one end to the other, and then set it up on the city.
Above the head, the only concern was how to prevent the enemy from making trouble on the tower. They could easily knock down the ladder, and the Union soldiers at the other end would not be able to do anything about it.
Sure enough, they saw a group of people marching hard through the rain of arrows to the moat, ready to put the ladder up to the city tower, but they were unable to succeed despite all kinds of obstructions from the defenders on the city.
Even if one or two ladders were occasionally built, when the soldiers tried to climb up the tower through the ladders, they were blocked by the city's bows and arrows, gravel or even boiling oil. This kind of
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult to climb even one more step, let alone climb the tower.
At this time, the vast space on the top of Xingyang City Tower was filled with Dong Zhuo's army defending the city. However, under Xu Huang's overall arrangement, they did not appear crowded, but were divided into three large blocks. The ones at the front tried to use ladders to block the attack.
The "weapons" used by the enemy troops who boarded the city were the most diverse, such as freshly boiled oil, stones and wood blocks of different sizes, spears, broadswords, etc.; the ones in the middle were mostly bows and arrows.
hands, these people bear
Responsible for long-range attacks, everyone within a stone's throw of entering the east side of Xingyang City is their target. Of course, some of them use rockets, so their targets are no longer people, but those who
wooden instruments; and at the end are the people who operate the trebuchet. They have all undergone special training and are able to master it proficiently. There are also specialized maintenance personnel nearby to ensure that the trebuchet can always operate normally.
Their orderly and closely connected defense line, coupled with the various hardware facilities arranged outside, made the two alliance siege vanguards led by Lu Bu and Xia Houyuan suffer greatly.
Lu Bu happened to be under the city at this time, and he was also on the edge of the moat. After all, even if he jumped over alone, it would be of no use. While he was trying to resist the attack from above, he was frowning and thinking of a way. At this moment
What a coincidence, but unfortunately in the city
One of the arrows that was shot happened to hit the chain of the suspension bridge. It could be seen that the archer was very strong. He did not fall down. Instead, he flew past and flew for a while before finally falling to the ground.
In the moat.
At this time, Lu Bu noticed that there seemed to be some hemp ropes tied to the port of the chain that helped the suspension bridge. Because of the angle, he couldn't see it very clearly, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of something, and then he faintly
I laughed, looking at the suspension bridge, as if I had a plan in mind.
At this time, Xu Huang, who was standing on the city tower watching the battle, frowned. This was certainly not because of the enemy's offensive. After all, everyone could see that their offensive was coming in waves but failed repeatedly. He was completely overwhelmed.
Our own side suppressed it and passed
During this period of bloody battle, the flag was cut off just now, and the general was injured and vomited blood. The shadow left in the hearts of the soldiers gradually dissipated. If just now they were just relying on the breath they had held back during this period, then now it has truly exploded.
of fighting spirit.
But Xu Huang always felt that something was not right, as if he had overlooked something.
At this moment, a cry full of anxiety and tension rang out unexpectedly from the tower: "It's not good, General, it's not good, General... This is a feint attack, and the North City side is the real attack."
, Vice General Li is urgently calling for help. If we don’t get over there, we will fall..." (To be continued...)
