On the city wall, Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Ma Chao, Pang De and other generals were watching the actions of the Parthian Empire army.

To be honest, had it not been for the 10,000 heavy infantry in the Anxi army, Xu Shu would have led the Xiakou army out of the city to fight.

In addition, the Mauryan Empire's hundreds of thousands of troops were approaching. After repelling the Parthian Empire's troops, the Xiakou Army suffered excessive losses. The Mauryan Empire's troops would not hesitate to kill them.

babble!

"The Parthian army only dispatched 2,000 men to attack the city?"

Cao Hongdao.

"Zilian, Anxi, this is a tentative attack. We want to check our defense situation. It does not count as a formal siege."

Cao Rendao.

"Order, Qin's crossbows and catapults not to fire. Let the soldiers use their bows and arrows to block the attack. Don't let the Parthians test them out."

Cao Rendao.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

Cao Ren, the infantry division controlled by Cao Hong, after several years of bloody battles and constant training, the soldiers are also good at bow and arrow shooting. Although they are not as good as the archers trained by Huang Zhong, they still have certain abilities.

A soldier is equipped with a sword and a bow.

Two thousand Parthian soldiers ran up towards the bottom of the city wall. Some Parthian soldiers carried ladders, which were the siege equipment of the Parthian soldiers.

Three hundred steps.

One hundred and fifty steps.

One hundred and twenty steps.

Enter the effective shooting range of the Xiakou archers.

"Fire! Free fire."

Cao Ren ordered.

Whoosh whoosh!

From a high position, a dense rain of arrows flew towards the Parthian soldiers running up.

The Parthian soldiers who were running suddenly saw a rain of arrows that was covering the sky and quickly hit them, and they raised their shields one by one.

Ding dong!

Ding dong!

The sharp arrow pierced the shield, making a metallic sound.

Although the Parthian soldiers were prepared, most of the arrows were blocked under the cover of shields.

But what?

A hundred secrets and a sparseness!

Some of the arrows still penetrated the shield and pierced the body of the Parthian soldier.

Puff puff puff!

Under the rain of thousands of arrows, dozens of Parthian soldiers were hit by arrows, and their blood spurted out and covered the ground.

ah!

Many of the Parthian soldiers who were hit by arrows did not die immediately and let out heart-rending screams.

A wave of arrows caused dozens of Parthian soldiers to hang up and drop their shields. The Parthian soldiers behind them picked them up and continued to use them.

It is impossible for two thousand Parthian soldiers to have a shield each, so only a few hundred Parthian soldiers in front hold shields.

"General Xu, the infantry of the Parthian Empire are still very good at attacking cities. They are indeed a strong army."

Cao Rendao.

Um!

"According to my lord, the soldiers of the Parthian Empire and the Roman Empire are very powerful. In addition, there are frequent wars between the two countries. Many Parthian soldiers have participated in the war. They are not new recruits, so it is really troublesome to deal with them."

Xu Shu said.

In this era, the Roman Empire expanded eastward and encountered resistance from the Parthian Empire's army. Countless wars took place between the two countries.

Relatively speaking, the soldiers of the Roman Empire were stronger.

But what?

In the process of resisting the invasion of Rome, Parthia continuously summed up experience and learned Roman fighting methods over hundreds of years, allowing the Parthians to gradually become stronger.

Both empires are ancient empires and are indeed very powerful, not much weaker than the Central Plains Empire.

Whoosh whoosh!

Another wave of arrows shot out, rushing towards the Parthian soldiers.

Puff puff puff!

Dozens of Parthian soldiers fell.

By the time the Parthian soldiers ran under the city wall, the 2,000 Parthian soldiers had lost hundreds of people. The more than 1,000 Parthian soldiers posed no threat to the city wall.

"Smash him with rocks and hit me hard with stones."

Cao Rendao.

Boom!

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the infantry division divided their hands, lifted up the stones on the city wall, and smashed them down the city wall.

Bang bang bang!

One by one, the Parthian soldiers were beaten to death, and some were reduced to a pile of flesh. The shields were smashed. Even if the shields were intact, the Parthian soldiers could not withstand the impact of the stones.

.

ah!

Screams sounded.

Whoosh whoosh!

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Parthian soldiers under the city wall, the archers began to harvest lives. Under the bombardment of stones, the shields were shattered, and the Parthian soldiers were completely exposed.

Puff puff puff!

Under the city wall, Parthians died tragically under the bow and arrow. In addition, the distance was short and the power of the bow and arrow was beyond the limit. Even the shield in hand could not do much.

Efficiently shoot down Parthian soldiers.

Many Parthian soldiers were stoned with stones or shot with bows and arrows just as they climbed up the ladder. One by one they died tragically in a pool of blood.

Cao Ren saw several Parthian soldiers pushing a wheelbarrow with a huge log on top, and quickly hit the city gate.

"The millstone fell and smashed the wheelbarrow into pieces. Don't let the wheelbarrow hit the city gate."

Cao Ren said loudly.

The infantry division soldiers on the city wall had already seen the Parthian soldiers pushing the wheelbarrow and crashed into it, and they did not hesitate to drop the millstone hanging above the city gate.

Boom!

The millstone hit the wheelbarrow hard, smashing the wheelbarrow into pieces.

The soldiers of the infantry division used the pulley to swing the millstone up again, and continued to float above the city gate, waiting for it.

Whoosh whoosh!

The archers on the city wall took advantage of the smashing of the city car to kill the exposed Parthian soldiers one by one.

Puff puff puff!

Several Parthian soldiers just turned around and tried to escape, but were immediately shot by archers, and died tragically one by one under the arrows.

As each Parthian soldier died, the ladders erected on the city wall were also pushed down the city wall one by one by the infantry division soldiers.

Whoosh whoosh!

Round after round of arrows hit the Parthian soldiers under the city wall.

For half an hour, the two thousand Parthian soldiers who tried to attack suffered heavy casualties, and only a few hundred Parthian soldiers escaped.

More than a thousand others remained under the city wall forever.

During the rest of the army, General Muhan Mofei had been observing the siege. After seeing it, he felt relieved that it was a routine defense.

With a defense capability of this scale, as long as more soldiers are sent to attack the city, the city wall can indeed be taken down.

"General Muhan, the equipment set up on the city wall seems to be motionless. It can't be weapons!"

A general said.

"The Lysians do have a hand left, and they have not fully demonstrated their strength. If we want them to use their full strength, we must strengthen our attack."
