When Jizhou City was built, Da Chu wanted to build Jizhou into the most important military fortress in the north to fight against powerful enemies outside the northern border.

This is the only center of the entire northern border. If all the cities of all sizes in the northern border are as dense as stars, then Jizhou is the largest one.

The difficulty of attacking such a big city is that ordinary ladders have no meaning because they cannot reach the city head of Jizhou.

In order to attack such a strong city, the specially built cloud ladder was too long, so it was very difficult to erect the cloud ladder.

Without large siege equipment, it is a dream to attack the city wall.

In order to let Luojing in the city know that the army outside the city is ready, Liu Li ordered the Yuzhou army to attack the East City of Jizhou, and this kind of attack must not be just a gesture.

Relatively speaking, the Yuzhou army is better at fighting than the Qingzhou army.

Liu Li was once one of the most powerful generals under Prince Wu Yang Jiju. In the previous fight with Prince Yu, Prince Yu Yang Jishi, which Liu Li suppressed, could not raise his head at all.

If it weren't for Prince Wu's way of retreat, at this moment, the most proud person would probably be Liu Li.

What people in the outer realm call the Central Plains is too general. The Central Plains people themselves divide the Central Plains into five realms, which is simple, nothing more than east, west, south, north and middle.

Among the Central Plains is the Yuzhou area, which has always been abundant and has strong folk customs.

"Beat the drum!"

Liu Li turned around and ordered.

More than ten feet away from behind him, more than a dozen naked and strong men began to beat the war drums, and the row of huge cowhide war drums sounded at the same time.

The drums were like thunder, and the Yuzhou army began to press down under the city wall. If they looked down from a high place, they were like looking at the black ant colony.

On the city wall, Liu Ge saw the Yuzhou army coming up and shouted loudly: "Arrow!"

With his order, hundreds of archers lifted the bow, and with a whoosh, the feather arrows shot out.

These null arrows are different from normal feather arrows. In order to be more conspicuous, the tail feathers of the null arrows are dyed red.

On the ground far outside the city wall, arrows fell to the ground, forming a line on the ground.

This is the farthest range of archers fighting against enemy feather arrows on the city wall. When soldiers look at the position of the arrow number, if the enemy is not here, it is meaningless to shoot arrows.

"All bed crossbows aim at the ladder."

Liu Ge shouted loudly, his face a solemn.

The military manufacturing technology of Dachu is already extremely advanced. The bed crossbow on the city wall can be adjusted up and down and left and right. Although the adjustment range is not very large, it is naturally more powerful than the fixed crossbow.

However, this kind of bed crossbow that can adjust the angle is not available in every city. It is expensive and has complex technology. In addition, the collapse of the Great Chu Dynasty later, the people in the martial arts workshop were the same. Who is still serious about doing things?

In the late period of the Great Chu Dynasty, most of the weapons and armor made by the martial arts workshop were cut corners.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Liu Ge pointed the long sword outward.

The bed crossbow placed on the city wall took the lead in showing its power, and a row of heavy crossbows flew out.

The heavy crossbow arrows that flew out fell among the Yuzhou army, giving people the impression that they were not heavy crossbow arrows, but iron plows that flew out. Each iron plow could plow a straight bloodline on the ground.

The Jizhou soldiers who were rushing forward ran and told themselves over and over again in their hearts... I am a big life, I am a big life, I am a big life...

He didn't even dare to look up at the heavy crossbow arrows with thick legs flying down the city wall. He didn't want to see anything, just wanted to run with his head down.

Behind him was a long list of soldiers, carrying the extended ladder they had specially created. Each of them had the same movement as him, and even the amplitude of his head lowering seemed to be the same.

Maybe each of them thinks the same thing... I have a great life.

The heavy crossbow arrow flew straight from the city wall, and by chance it pierced the neck of the rank of the soldier. The thick crossbow arrow passed through it and its neck disappeared.

Heads fly

When he got up, the heavy crossbow arrow pierced into the second person's chest and leaned forward. After a moment, it penetrated the third person's chest, penetrated the four people's belly, and the fifth person's lower abdomen...

Behind these storm soldiers' gates that were densely packed with ants, huge siege tower cars and crossbow cars were moving forward.

The moment the front row of charge soldiers crossed the arrows, Liu Ge shouted loudly.

Then the feather arrows on the city wall were shot out, and the feather arrows flew up from the city wall like a cloud. After passing through a perfect parabola in the air, they landed on the heads of the soldiers of Yuzhou.

With a shout, the feather arrows as dense as rainstorms fell down, and the soldiers who rushed forward rushed forward fell to the ground one after another.

This kind of cover-type projectile is really under great pressure for the offensive side.

"put!"

Liu Ge shouted again, his voice slightly hoarse.

The feather arrows shot in the second round flew out again, and there was another cloud.

This feeling is like a heavy rain falling on the lake, causing countless puddles, and each puddle may have fallen down by one person.

The number of corpses on the ground gradually increased, and the color of the earth was gradually changing.

In the walls of Jizhou City, countless Jizhou troops were standing about a few feet away from the city wall, waiting for orders.

When the Yuzhou army outside the city approached the city wall, Liu Ge asked someone to send orders, and the horn sounded rapidly and briefly.

Hearing the horn of military orders, the soldiers of Jizhou soldiers on the inner side of the city wall raised their bows neatly and then neatly shot the feather arrows up.

The feather arrow flew over the city wall and landed not far outside the city. They have practiced this kind of shooting technique countless times.

What distance and what force you use will not hurt your own people on the city wall, and will also cause a blow to the enemy troops close to the city wall.

Under such a dense defense of the arrow formation, the number of soldiers killed and injured by the Yuzhou army is no longer estimable.

But the battlefield is the battlefield, and soldiers are soldiers.

In the rain of arrows, they rushed to the city wall and struggled to stand up the ladder to lean against it.

"Snap!"

Liu Ge roared.

The archers on the city wall began to aim at those who carried the ladder. At this distance, the lethality of the feather arrows was even more fierce.

The speed and number of soldiers in Yuzhou who carried the ladder were far higher than that of other soldiers.

But at this moment, after paying countless lives, the Yuzhou Army's crossbow carriage had also been pushed to their range.

Adjust the elevation angle, and with a command, the Yuzhou Army's crossbow chariot began to fight back.

The huge crossbow arrow flew onto the city wall, and the scene became even more tragic for a while, and finally there was no one dead person.

A heavy crossbow arrow hit the battlement, and with a bang, a small piece of brick was knocked out. As Mars splashed, the heavy crossbow arrow changed its direction of flying and poked into the heads of the soldiers in the Jizhou Army on the other side.

The Yuzhou Army has a larger number of crossbows, so the shooting distance of this infantry crossbow is naturally not as good as the fixed city defense crossbows at high places, but as long as the distance is enough, the power is not weak at all.

Moreover, among the types of infantry crossbows, there are crossbows.

The crossbow arrows in the row of crossbows are not that big, about the thickness of the wrist, four or five feet long, and shot out in a row. For the soldiers' killing, it was like sweeping a row of wheat with a sickle.

Bricks suddenly flew on the city walls, with sparks shot out from crossbows everywhere, and wails burst out in them.

"Press up their crossbow!"

Liu Ge ordered the angle of the bed crossbow, and heavy crossbow arrows began to focus on attacking the crossbow chariots of the Yuzhou Army.

There is not only one point on the battlefield where the dead is dead, nor is there only one line on the dead, it is composed of countless points and lines.

The person covered by the feather arrows is the point that disappears one by one, while the person who dies under the city wall is the death of one line after another.

When I got under the city wall, many people had no choice at all, because

The comrades beside them squeezed them at the foot of the city wall. They couldn't turn around and naturally couldn't climb up.

"Put the nail row!"

The call sounded, and the nail rows hung on the city wall fell down quickly. As soon as the heavy nail row fell on the top of a person's head, it directly penetrated the head.

When the nail strips were pulled up, blood fell down the nails drop by drop.

I don’t know how long it lasted, but the bodies of the Yuzhou army had piled up very high under the city wall.

Finally, the horn of withdrawal came from the rear team.

The Yuzhou army, who had been attacking for a long time, finally slowly retreated. When they came, they seemed to be slamming the huge waves on the shore, and when they retreated, they seemed a little depressed and unwilling.

It is difficult to defeat a strong city like Jizhou by relying on conventional offensive means.

The offensive was not only on the east city, the north city and the south city, and there were also large-scale attacks by the enemy in these two directions.

Only in the west, Luo Geng led his army to garrison and remained silent.

That night.

Zeng Ling sent people to find Jinzhe and Liu Ge. In the Jizhou Army camp in the city, everyone except for the general who was on duty in the city was here.

"Attack on three sides, but not on the west side."

Zeng Ling paced in the tent and said, "It seems that the conflict between Luo Geng and Cui Yanlai and Liu Li cannot be easily eased, and it is exactly where we can use it."

Zeng Ling stopped and looked at Liu Ge and asked, "If you come to deal with this situation, what will you do?"

Liu Ge was thinking about a question in his mind just now... If Tang Pidian dealt with this matter, what would Tang Pidian do?

When I was guarding Jizhou before, whether it was the sergeant or him, I admired the talent of the Tang Dynasty.
