"They have siege engines, but who are you and Ta Liang's catapults?!"
"Pull me up!"
Xie Yunsong looked at the slowly approaching siege vehicle and shouted anxiously down below.
Just now, they had repelled two Chu La attacks.
As soon as the fighting between the two sides started, it became intense.
Even Xie Yunsong didn't expect it.
They are already well prepared.
It was still a hard fight.
During this period, Chu La followed the governor Zhu Yue and learned the habit of making decisions before taking action.
This time I was even more prepared.
In addition to the siege troops having shields to withstand bows and arrows, many ladders and a siege vehicle were also prepared.
In the two rounds of fighting just now, Chu La's men and horses had already put up the siege ladder on the city wall.
But they were pushed back by the dense barrage of bows and arrows.
Seeing the city walls being fortified.
The siege engines have also been pulled over.
Chu La directly let the sword, ax and shield soldiers cover the siege vehicles and rush towards the city gate.
A group of cavalry in front of Chu La waited until the city gate was broken down and they could drive straight in.
Once the city gate was breached, Yunzhong County took half of it.
That's why Xie Yunsong was so panicked.
At this time, around the siege vehicle, the shield soldiers raised their shields high above their heads to cover the approach of the siege vehicle.
Although arrows rained down from the city walls, they still could not stop the speed of the siege vehicles.
Sudden.
A huge boulder exploded in front of the siege engine.
The only trebuchet in the city started.
But the first boulder was knocked crooked.
However, the debris from the huge boulder still dispersed the people on the side of the siege vehicle.
The siege engines stopped temporarily.
"More on!"
"More on!"
"quick!"
Upon seeing this, Chu La sent another group of shield soldiers towards the siege vehicle, and the siege vehicle began to move slowly again.
Just left the place.
Another boulder bombarded the place where it had just stopped.
But it was still avoided.
Trebuchets are naturally useful when the distance is far.
But when the distance is close, the trebuchet becomes useless.
After the siege vehicle behind them approached the city gate, Xie Yunsong and others could only block it with stones and kerosene from a high position, but to no avail.
The siege engines have arrived under the city gate.
"boom!"
With a crash.
The city gate shook violently, and dust and sawdust fell from the city gate.
"quick!"
"Hold the city gate!"
Xie Yunsong and the others had concentrated all their protective forces on the city wall before, but they did not expect that Chu La and the others would have siege vehicles appear this time.
Although Zhang Bao and others had reinforced the city gate when they were in Sanhe County.
But after arriving in Yunzhong County, things were so complicated that I didn't even have time to check them one by one.
The city gate has become the only weak point in Yunzhong County.
However, out of caution, Chu La and his party unexpectedly rushed to the city gate.
Under Xie Yunsong's order, a group of people quickly arrived at the city gate cave.
But looking at the city gate being hit constantly.
They wanted to help, but there was nothing they could do.
Chu La seemed to have discovered this shortcoming. Seeing the people on the city wall going down to help the city gate, Chu La waved his hand and many people rushed towards the city gate again.
It is a last resort.
The people on the city wall continued to shoot arrows to block the attack.
At this time, Xie Yunsong was extremely anxious.
to be honest.
Over the years, Xie Yunsong has never experienced such a defensive battle in the county government.
What's more, the opponent is one of the twelve generals under the governor.
Although they had an advantage in terms of military strength, they seemed to be in a panic at this moment.
At this time, there were more than 5,000 troops in the entire county.
But there are two thousand of them, all from various aristocratic families, and Xie Yunsong simply doesn't dare to let them go to the front line now.
Otherwise, it is difficult to say whether he might have been instructed by the noble family before and defected in the face of battle.
The remaining more than 3,000 people were scattered and stationed at the four city gates.
Xie Yunsong's city gate was under attack, so he did not dare to rashly mobilize all the troops from other city gates to come over.
It would be dangerous if Chu La ambushed people at other city gates.
So it looks like this.
The numerical advantage is not obvious either.
Even in a head-on battle, the number of people on Xie Yunsong's side was smaller than Chu La's.
finally.
Under the constant impact of siege engines, the city gate was overwhelmed.
The beam was broken and half of the city gate fell down.
Xie Yunsong was shocked when he heard the sound of the city gate falling to the ground.
"quick!"
"Let the troops from the other three city gates come over immediately. Even if you block it with your body, you will never let them rush in!"
Xie Yunsong loudly ordered to the people around him.
As soon as I turned around, I was stunned.
A large group of cavalry roared and charged toward the city gate with their swords waving.
"shoot arrows"
"shoot arrows"
Xie Yunsong roared loudly.
Bows and arrows were flying all over the sky, but the speed of the cavalry still had the advantage.
In the blink of an eye, some people rushed into the city gate.
Fighting with the people sent by Xie Yunsong before.
In terms of combat effectiveness, cavalry is naturally superior to infantry. Almost as soon as they fought, the defenders at the city gate were broken through, and the cavalry was about to rush in.
Reinforcements from the remaining three city gates arrived. Although they were all infantry, they had an absolute advantage in numbers.
He abruptly intercepted the cavalry rushing in at the city gate.
A melee...
Inside Ping An Inn.
Erile was lying on the eaves, watching the battle at the city gate in the distance.
There was a tall man sitting next to him.
This man was Fang Fu, the Orion who rescued Erile at that time.
"Uncle Fang, do you think they will come into the city?"
Erile said with a worried look.
"I don't know, it's hard to tell!"
"But after fighting for such a long time, there should be a result."
Fang Fu shook his head.
He didn't know much about fighting. He just looked at the people falling on the city wall from a distance and knew that the situation was not very optimistic.
"If my legs are okay, I really want to go up and help!"
"And Uncle Fang, your archery skills are so powerful. If you go up there, you will be able to kill many people."
Erile said very annoyed.
"I?"
"Why should I kill them?"
"I have no enmity or grudge against them."
Fang Fu shook his head.
"But……"
Erile wanted to say something, but suddenly he remembered that the Fang Fu in front of him was just a hunter. He came to the county government because he was sent away, so there was really no reason to join the war.
"Um?"
"Why is there a team there?"
Fang Fu looked down at the alley next to him, where dozens of people were running towards another city gate.
"Can't he be a bad person?"
"What are they going to do?"
Erile looked over doubtfully.
"It's hard to say, it doesn't look like he's from Yunzhong County."
Fang Fu looked at the movements of these people. It was obvious that they were sneaky. If they were people from the county government, they would never be like this.
"no!"
"I have to tell Uncle Xie quickly!"
Erile was frightened for a while.
Just as he was about to stand up, his calf hurt and he almost fell down.
"Your legs..."
"Forget it, let me go. Is that the person I met at the door that day?"
Fang Fu asked Erile.
"right!"
"Thank you, Uncle Fang!"
Erile nodded.
Fang Fu smiled bitterly and slid down from the roof.
Instead of landing, he flew along the roof towards the city gate.
