"Swish swish swish swish..."

The rain of arrows finally fell from the sky, and the recruits fell down one by one.

When the recruit who was peeing outside the city was proud, a piercing pain suddenly came from his crotch. When he looked down quickly, he saw that his words had been penetrated by a feather arrow. Blood suddenly gushed out of the wound like a fountain. The recruit immediately screamed like a pig: "Ahhhh..."

"Oh, damn it, my eyes, help me, save me..."

Another recruit covered his eyes tightly. A feather arrow was inserted between his fingers, and red bloodshots were gushing out of it. After only two screams, the recruit fell into a pool of blood.

Not far away, another recruit was even more unlucky. He was shot through his head by the feather arrows that had fallen from the air. The sharp cluster of arrows shot into the forehead and penetrated the back of his head. The red blood and white brain were gushing out from the wounds cut by the triangular cluster of arrows. The recruit fell on the top of the city without even saying a word.

The other two recruits standing next to him were shocked when they saw this and turned around and ran away. However, before they could take a few steps, another wave of arrow rain fell from the sky, nailing the two of them to the top of the city.

Soon, endless wailing sounds sounded from the head of Shouchun City.

The recruits who had neither iron armor nor shield protection and lacked self-protection experience were severely injured in the first two waves of arrow rains of Han army archers. At least 200 new recruits guarding the city fell into a pool of blood, and at least 50 of them were shot and killed on the spot, losing the opportunity to grow into a veteran forever.

However, under the threat of death, the recruits quickly learned how to protect themselves.

When the third wave of arrow rain of Han army archers fell, except for the muscular snails in their minds, most of the recruits found a place to hide. They didn't find a place to hide and did not stand and wait for death. Instead, they dragged the recruits who had been shot too early to block their bodies. Among them, one of the recruits was dragged away as a flesh shield before they even died.

Seeing this cold and cruel scene, the veterans laughed silently.

There has never been only iron and blood on the battlefield, and there has never been mercy or mercy. Only when the heart is ruthless and the hands are black can one survive the cruel war!

After shooting twelve arrows, the Han army archers began to retreat.

The veterans of the Chu army who had been counting in their hearts immediately stood up from behind the shack and opened their mouths. They slapped their chests and roared wildly at the Han army archers under the city and demonstrated loudly. A small number of Chu army archers took the opportunity to pull their bows and take arrows and return to the Han army.

The Han army archers quickly retreated to the back formation, almost unscathed.

The next moment, the Han soldiers lined up in front of the formation dispersed to the sides, and then thousands of light soldiers rushed out of the formation. Each light soldiers carried a sack, and each sack was filled with soil. After they came out of the formation, they rushed towards the moat outside Shouchun City.

Although the Chu archers tried their best to suppress it, they could not stop the Han army at all. In less than half an hour, the Han army's light soldiers filled several passages on the moat. Then the sound of horns in the Han army formation started again. Amid the desolate and distant horns, thousands of dead soldiers wearing gourd clothes and tied their hair in a diagonal bun pushed out six cloud ladders and a siege cart.

At the top of Shouchun City, the veterans of the Chu army also drew their swords and rushed to the front of the pile.

The fierce siege finally began. Six ladders approached the city wall almost at the same time. Then dozens of strong dead soldiers began to pull the ladder cables, arrows, rolling wood and rocks from the city, and Han army dead soldiers continued to scream and fell to the ground, but soon, more dead soldiers replaced them.

"Hey, ya, ya, ya!"

"Hey, ya, ya, ya!"

"Hey, ya, ya, ya!"

Amid the sound of the Han army's death rows, the upper half of the movable ladder, which was originally folded and pressed on the fixed ladder, began to slowly rise with the clamp on the top of the top. In less than a moment, the stepladder was completely raised and then slowly tilted towards the head of Shouchun City, and finally pressed on the head of the city, and the two ladders were connected to form an inclined channel to the head of the city!

The next moment, hundreds of dead Han soldiers rushed up the ladder like ants, howling and heading straight for the city.

Looking up the building, Xiang Zhuang, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but be amazed at the wisdom of the ancients. According to historical records, this ladder was invented by Gongshuban (Lu Ban), a famous craftsman in the Warring States Period. Since the invention of the ladder, China's siege war has undergone revolutionary changes, and the towering city walls are no longer an insurmountable obstacle.

The Han army's dead soldiers rushed up along the ladders, and the city wall soon fell into a close-knit melee.

Xiang Zhuang slowly pulled out the special horizontal knife that Yu Ziqi had made for him, touched the cold blade, and then shouted: "Jing Qian, Gao Chu, go, go to the top of the city!"

#############

At the beginning of the East Gate of Shouchun, there was a complete melee at this moment.

"Kill!" Two Han army dead soldiers held short swords in their hands and ran up on the ladder. Before they could take the last step, they had already risen up and rushed towards the Chu army on the top of the city without fear. The next moment, more than a dozen cold and long spears had stabbed like poisonous snakes, and in a flash, they pierced the vital points of the chest and abdomen of the two Han army dead soldiers.

A dead Han army soldier died on the spot, but another dead soldier did not die immediately. With a beastly howl, the dead Han army soldier threw the short sword in his hand out. A new Chu army soldier who was blocking the front could not dodge and hit the throat. He couldn't even say a word, and the new Chu army soldier fell into a pool of blood.

Taking advantage of the gaps obtained by the first two dead soldiers for their lives, the two dead soldiers behind finally stepped onto the top of the city.

These Han army dead soldiers obviously had the intention to die. After they stepped onto the city, they did not seek self-protection, but only wanted to kill people. They ignored the swords and halberds that the Chu army stabbed at them. They just waved their swords frantically and slashed wildly. Even if they were in several swords and wearing several halberds, they would still fight forever as long as they had a breath!

The momentum of the Chu army was immediately suppressed, and many veterans were also timid.

Even if the veterans were like this, the new soldiers were even more unbearable. The Han army's dead soldiers quickly cleared a few pieces of land at the top of the city. Then more Han army's dead soldiers rushed up the ladder. Under the ladder, more Han army's dead soldiers were like endless ant colonies, waiting to climb the ladder and step onto the top of the city. The situation was already in danger.

Seeing that the east gate of Shouchun was about to fall, Xiang Zhuang's tall figure suddenly appeared on the top of the city.

When the two Han army soldiers saw a Chu general wearing heavy armor suddenly appear in front of them, they immediately showed their fierce light and rushed forward with a scream.

"die!"

Xiang Zhuang held a horizontal knife and swept across the scene with two Han army soldiers. The bloody stomach and intestines were immediately spilled all over the ground. The two Han army soldiers still did not die. They dragged their upper half of their bodies and tried their best to raise their short sword to stab Xiang Zhuang, but they were already being cut off by Jing Qian behind Xiang Zhuang, Gao Chu.

"ha!"

Xiang Zhuang made another straight stab, and immediately stabbed the Han army captain in front of him.

Two dead soldiers behind the Han army captain took the opportunity to stab Xiangzhuang, but were killed by Jing Qian and Gao Chu Ranjian on the spot.

While drawing the knife, Xiang Zhuang took advantage of the situation and kicked the Han army captain's body immediately flew backwards, knocking over several Han army dead soldiers in a row, and then rolling and falling off the city.

Xiang Zhuang grabbed the city two more steps and slashed the ladder on the clouds with his knife.

The iron sheet wrapped around the surface of the cloud ladder cannot block the edge of the horizontal knife at all. It weighs twenty kilograms. The power of its slash is almost as powerful as a heavy axe. How could it be blocked by a thin iron sheet?

With just two knifes, the ladder was cut from the top into two sections.

Losing the confinement of the top barb, the upper half of the ladder quickly slipped down against the city wall. Dozens of Han soldiers climbing on top also screamed and fell down. The Han soldiers who were crowded at the foot of the ladder were unable to escape, and dozens of people were crushed to death.

Xiang Zhuang cut off the ladder with two swords, then jumped onto the pavilion, raised his sword and howled: "Roar..."

Behind Xiang Zhuang, Jing Qian, Gao Chu and more than a hundred personal soldiers also raised their swords and roared to the sky.

"General is mighty!"

"General is mighty!"

"General is mighty!"

Inspired by Xiangzhuang, the Chu army at the city wall was immediately motivated, and then turned around and launched a fierce counterattack on the Han army dead soldiers who stepped onto the city wall. With the advantage of the number of people, the Chu army quickly killed all the Han army dead soldiers who climbed up to the city wall. After hearing the news, the Chu blacksmiths who rushed to help the battle also waved their big hammers and smashed all the other five ladders that hooked the balustrade.

The situation on the battlefield suddenly took a sharp turn, and the endless sound of cow horns sounded outside the city.

Amid the distant and desolate horns, the Han army dead soldiers who were originally crowded under the city wall turned around and turned around, pushing the broken ladder and seriously damaged siege cars slowly retreated. The heavy armored soldiers who were originally protecting the formation also rushed up suddenly, protecting the retreating dead soldiers with thick shields.

At this point, the first siege of the Han army had been completely repelled.

In an instant, the Chu soldiers crowded on the city wall roared to the sky, and the huge sound almost shattered the eardrums of the Han army opposite. Many new Chu soldiers jumped to the balustrade again, lifted up their battle robes and urinated outside the city, or swayed left and right, as if they were provocative and insulted.

In the distance, in the Han army formation, Li Zuoche looked like iron.

This Xiangzhuang is really not simple. With him and without him, the bravery shown by the Chu army is simply incomparable. For a moment, Li Zuoche even suspected that Xiang Yu was reborn! It seems that the battle of Shouchun really takes more effort, but it doesn’t matter. Xiangzhuang has only one lonely army, how long can it last?

What's more, Li Zuoche also had a big killing weapon in his hand, that was Xiang Yu's head.
