In this castle built on a hill, which is more than three feet higher than the outer wall, the black robe was replaced by a full-length general's robe armor, standing with arms folded, and Murong Lan was also wearing a silver armor uniform, standing
Next to him, from this position, the two of them could clearly see that the inside of the city wall was already crowded with people. Soldiers wearing armor were lurking and squatting on the ground, while civilian husbands and women without armor were running back and forth, turning a crowd of people around.
Buckets of water were hoisted to the top of the city to extinguish the burning flames. Bundles of crossbow arrows were also transported to the sandwich wall inside the city wall and handed over to the crossbowmen crouching inside.
Murong Lan frowned and glanced in the direction of the east and west. There were still only bursts of flying rocks hitting the city. It was about half an hour later than the battle here in Nancheng. Even the crossbows and catapults at the city were
Che, still fighting back, she sighed softly, "Could it be that Liu Yu will really attack from the direction of Nancheng?"
The black robe smiled and shook his head, "Surrounding three and missing one is a typical siege tactic. However, Liu Yu will definitely have an ambush in the north. The spies just came to report that a group of chariots seemed to have bypassed Liu Yu's army formation.
From the rear, heading towards the north city, they probably believe that our army will attack from the north gate and use iron cavalry to attack their siege troops."
Murong Lan looked back at the inner city. Inside the castle, thousands of knights had already mounted their horses. They were all the most elite armored cavalry in Nanyan.
Let the cavalry get ready, from which direction are they going to attack?"
A cold light flashed in the black robe's eyes, "Then it depends on which direction your man wants to attack. This time, I promise to let him witness the strongest defensive battle in the world."
Murong Lan shook his head, "Nancheng is in a tight situation, but you still hide your troops behind. Do you really think that you can stop the Jin army's attack with the help of civilians and the hundreds of crossbowmen in Jiabiqiang?"
city?"
The black robe smiled slightly: "Their catapults are always a threat to our city. What I have to do now is to consume their stones. When the Jin army really starts to attack the city, the enemy and we are fighting together. At this time, whether it is throwing stones or
The crossbows are of no use at all. If my predictions are correct, Liu Yu should send out a chariot to attack the city gate next."
Jin Army, South Gate Commandery.
Liu Yu calmly looked at the battle ahead. One by one, the crossbows were fired directly into the wall. When pulled, the entire wall collapsed, revealing the small room inside. You could even see the panicked sergeant inside.
He climbed out backwards from the ground, and what used to be small holes now turned into large holes three feet square. Even through these big holes, one could see those running back and forth on the stairs inside the city wall.
Civilian husband.
And these civilians quickly piled stones, wood, etc. in the punched-out walls to directly block these holes. Soon, the dozens of gaps that had just been opened were closed again.
Wang Miaoyin sighed, "This black robe is really powerful. The wall was blocked so quickly."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly, "When designing this wall, we have to consider how to repair it once it is discovered and penetrated. It is impossible for our army to climb the city wall and directly enter the city wall from the sandwich wall. However,
, now these walls have been almost completely destroyed, and the crossbowmen inside can no longer shoot our archers, please, we should continue the attack."
Liu Yu nodded, "The fire at the top of the city is almost extinguished, and most of the stones for our catapults have been used. Send an order, the attacking troops in Nancheng stop throwing stones, and the archers move forward, preparing to suppress the enemy's long-range troops at the top of the city. Charge
Go ahead with the chariot and attack the city walls and gates first."
Liu Yu's order was quickly conveyed to the front by Liu Zhong's flags and the sound of drums and horns. The military formation was opened again. This time, there were twenty or thirty troops and eight chariots, pushed by thirty or forty strong men.
Toward the front, there were three layers of thick wooden boards on the top floors of these cars. The wooden boards were covered with water-soaked rawhide to prevent fire attacks. Under the roof, there was a huge log hanging four to five meters long.
, with a diameter of more than one meter, the head of the log is cut into an oval, and the tip is wrapped with fine steel armor. Isn't it a battering ram used to destroy city gates and walls?
The warriors pushing the cart are all strong men with well-developed muscles and big shoulders and round waists. Almost a whole team of infantry are manipulating the cart. Half of them are pushing, and the other half are holding shields to cover. This large log weighing several thousand kilograms is rushing to the cart.
He was not slow at all in running. In just a moment, he moved forward from the military formation for more than two miles until he reached the line where the throwing pole and the four-wheeled cart where the Wanjun Divine Crossbow were. It was only more than 200 steps away from the city wall.
.
Wang Zhene looked at a military academy leader and frowned, "Wang Mengzi, where is your champion general?"
A military academy man with his upper body naked and muscles exposed was pushing the cart forward. It was Liu Jingxuan's personal guard captain, Wang Mengzi. He straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed to the back and said, "Commander
As I said, as a general, you need to be in a commanding position, and my champion is like this now, with cavalry, located in the center of the front army, and must always prevent the enemy from leaving the city to counterattack."
Wang Zhene shook his head, "The enemy army is not even at the top of the city, how can they fight back? Hurry up and push these rams to the edge of the city wall, directly smashing through the city wall. By the way, Mengzi, your car
Drive to the city gate!"
Wang Mengzi laughed loudly and said to some of the sergeants around him, "You guys, you are lucky. We who rushed the car originally had to cross the trench, but we were in big trouble. The Xianbei fool leveled the trench himself when he sent grain into the city the day before yesterday.
, now we just need to rush directly to the city wall and crash the city wall. What are you waiting for? Come on!"
As he spoke, he pushed the ram cart in front of him with all his strength. The giant siege tree hung on the cart was the largest of all the carts. It was made of a pine tree that was hundreds of years old and was specially used for siege purposes.
It is used as the main attack vehicle, and the target is the Guanggu South City Gate!
These ramming vehicles crossed the four-wheeled vehicle formation and launched the final impact towards the city wall. Wang Zhene frowned slightly because he found that the advancing speed of the ramming vehicles had obviously slowed down, because the last two hundred steps did not last long.
It's not flat ground. Strictly speaking, it's a small slope with a slope of about fifteen degrees.
Wang Zhene gritted his teeth, turned around and said to the sergeants around him, "Everyone stepped forward to help. Even if you carry it, you still have to carry the rush car to the edge of the city wall!"
Before he finished speaking, a rapid whistle was heard from the top of the city, and a rough voice shouted in Xianbei dialect, "Smash them to death!"
