Chapter 608: Attack Nanyang Again

At the top of Wancheng, Nanyang. In the bleak autumn wind, Yu Jin looked at the endless Liang army under the city and couldn't help but shivered.

At this time yesterday, the army rushed to his government office to report that a large number of Liang army soldiers gathered. He didn't care much after hearing this. Because the night before yesterday, Xu Huang had just sent a cavalry to sneak into the vicinity of Wancheng and sent him news with arrows that reinforcements would arrive at Wancheng soon, and Cao Cao personally led the troops to lead the troops. As long as he could defend Wancheng well, it would be a great achievement.

Yu Jin thought, even if the Liang army came to reinforce, how much could it be? No matter how hard it was, it would be impossible to capture his own Wancheng within a few days. But when he climbed the city, he was stunned. Outside Wancheng, the Liang army soldiers and horses connected to the sky and the earth were endless, and flags stood in the wilderness like forests. And at the other city gates, you could still see the Liang army coming continuously. Fortunately, the Liang army did not launch an attack immediately, so Yu Jin could only pray in his heart that the Liang army could attack the city as late as possible.

At this time, just as Yu Jin observed the enemy situation outside the city, the horns of the Liang army suddenly became loud. Starting from the Liang army's central tent, each battalion and division successively blew the horns and beat the war drums. A large number of soldiers and horses successively set off from the camp and formed military formations.

Yu Jin was shocked and shouted in disguise: "The Liang army is going to attack the city, hurry up! All troops are ready to fight! Especially the gap, you must hold it!" Then the sound of drums and whistles of Wei soldiers rushed to the top of the city and the ruins that collapsed.

Liang Jun arranged the army in just half an hour and raised more than a dozen hot air balloon airships used to observe the situation in Wancheng City. Of course, longbowmen are indispensable in the hanging baskets on the airship. In fact, Feng Yu could monitor the entire Wancheng with the function of the system panel.

With Zhao Yun's order, fifty counterweight catapults lined up behind the Liang army concentrated on projecting at the city walls on both sides of the gap, obviously trying to tear the gap open again. At the same time, hundreds of crossbows also began to shoot stone bullets to the rest of the city.

The Wei army crossbows and bed crossbows deployed at the city wall also launched a counterattack, but the dozens of crossbows and bed crossbows were too small, and the accurate head was not enough. The range was not enough, so the final effect was very poor. Only a few stone bullets and crossbow guns fell into the Liang army formation and hit Liang army personnel. These stone bullets were not as smooth as Liang army's stone bullets. After hitting one or two people, they rolled on the ground and stopped. It looked very tragic, but the actual killing effect was actually not great. In the front and back, the Wei army's bed crossbows and crossbows killed more than 30 Liang soldiers.

The east wall of Wancheng suddenly rose up with a loud roar that covered the sky. The Liang soldiers, who were eighty horses away, could only see the outline of a city in the dust. No matter how the Wei soldiers on the city avoided and covered themselves, people were constantly bombarded by stone bombs. Li Dian, who was commanding at the city, was also forced to withdraw the defenders on the city to the bottom of the city. The crossbows and crossbows on the city were naturally too late to withdraw. In fact, most of them had been bombarded into pieces.

When Li Dian just stepped down the stairs, he felt that the entire city wall was shaking, which was more obvious than the previous one. He screamed in his heart, and he tightened his legs for a few steps. He heard a loud rumbling sound, and the city wall near the gap collapsed again.

The sound of drums and whistles in the Liang army formation resounded again between heaven and earth. Hundreds of crossbows were replaced with fiery bombs. Because of the previous test-firing of the stone bomb of the same weight, the landing point was corrected, and hundreds of fiery bombs almost all fell on the top of the city wall on the east side of Wancheng. The entire city wall was lit with flames, and it was already a sea of ​​fire.

At the same time, the Liang army's army had already launched an impact on the east wall of Wancheng amid the tsunami of shouts like mountains and seas. Almost as the walls of the city wall turned into sea of ​​fire, the baggage soldiers built countless springboards on the moat and then erected ladders under the walls. The guns and shield soldiers carried guns and spears, held shields in their left hand and climbed with their right hand, one after another quickly climbed towards the city.

The gap, which was widened to more than a hundred steps, was paved with a springboard by the baggage soldiers. The guns and shield soldiers quickly climbed along the temporary road paved with wooden boards to the top of the ruins that were two battles high. A large number of soldiers set up a large number of portable crossbows at a later date. At this time, thousands of arrows were shot from behind the ruins, falling down like rain of arrows towards the Liang soldiers as their hoods.

The main attack was the elite of Gao Shun's army - the camp. Gao Shun, who was in front of the battle, saw the rain of arrows coming, and hurriedly reminded him loudly: "Rise the shield!". However, many people were caught off guard and were shot by arrows before they could raise their shields. Fortunately, the double protection of the ring armor on their bodies was lined with the soft armor of the locks. Although they were shot into a hedgehog, the arrows either did not pass through the armor or just injured their flesh.

The commander of the commander carrying the crossbow in the rear shouted angrily, and hundreds of small fireballs rose into the air, slashing through the air like a meteor shower, falling behind the ruins. The soldiers of Liang only heard the continuous roar of explosions and vaguely saw the fire rising behind the ruins. Then they heard the continuous howling of pain and the sound of burning flesh.

The Wei army's rain of arrows suddenly weakened. Liang's portable crossbows fired much faster than ordinary crossbows, and could shoot out in five or six breaths. Within a short quarter of an hour, Liang army fired thousands of hot bombs into the area behind the gap. Although these hot bombs were small in size, they were enough to burn the large area of ​​the palm into scorched earth.

At this time, the arrow rain of the Wei army was gone, and even screamed and wailed. Some of the gun and shield soldiers in the camp climbed to the top of the ruins. What caught their eyes was indeed a scorched earth and scorched corpses lying on them. With a shout, they rushed down the ruins with their shields and spears, and the Liang soldiers behind continued to surge forward.

Many Liang soldiers had successfully reached the city heads on both sides. Some Wei soldiers mustered up the courage to kill the city head again from the city stairway and fought with the Liang army. However, the latter used only one or two rounds of spear guns to drive them down again. More and more Liang soldiers climbed to the city head. When they gathered to a certain number, they also shouted in unison to rush towards the city tower and under the city.

A large number of Liang soldiers rushing into Wancheng gathered at the east gate, and some of the Wei soldiers were still guarding this place under the leadership of Yu Jin. He knew that if the east gate was opened, Wancheng would not be able to be guarded.
