Chapter 228 fierce fight
Ren Dian was shocked when he heard that the main force of the Jin army had actually rushed to Chengdu. However, when he heard that the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Ke, Wang of Xiyang County, was still in the city, he immediately felt at ease again.
Sima Ke is still in the city, and there are not many defenders in the city. For him, it is nothing special. As long as he breaks Pengmo City and catches Sima Ke, the battle will be over.
However, he couldn't believe that Sima Ke didn't go there in person after all, and it was incredible in theory that Sima Ke didn't go there.
So Ren Diao took dozens of personal soldiers, all holding large shields, to protect him and rushed to the city tower. He ran until twenty steps away before stopping forward. He just came down from the city to patrol, and the big shield beside him formed an airtight shield wall next to him.
Among the crowd, Ren Diao only looked up the city tower and confirmed that under the flag on the city tower, it must be Sima Ke himself, and his kingly demeanor and demeanor cannot be revealed by ordinary people. What's more, it is said that Sima Ke is the most beautiful man in the Jin Dynasty. Although the young man on the city tower was only seen by a twenty-step distance, he could see that this young man was peerless, and it was Sima Ke himself.
Ren Diao thought about it carefully. Sima Ke sent the main general Huan Wen to attack the city, and he was in charge of the rear as the head coach. It seemed reasonable in theory.
At this moment, Ren Diao had no doubts in his heart, and immediately sent an order to let the army rest on the spot, bury the pot and cook rice, and attack Pengmocheng in an hour later.
After lunch, the Chenghan army had enough food and drinks, and after resting, they began to prepare for the siege.
For Ren Ji, breaking Peng Mo is of great significance. Even if Sima Ke cannot be captured, it will cut off the Jin army's retreat. At the same time, it can also increase the morale of one's own side and suppress the morale of the enemy.
Therefore, when Peng Mo fought, Ren Ji was determined to win.
Ren Diao originally went to Wuyang City to guard the waterway, so he naturally did not carry heavy siege weapons such as cloud ladders. However, Ren Diao was also a famous general in Shu, so he was not unable to attack the city.
Sichuan is rich in bamboo. After receiving the news that Pengmo City was broken, Ren Diao ordered Cheng Jun to cut down hundreds of tall and straight bamboos overnight last night. Each bamboo is two or three meters long in the thickest place, but Pengmo City is only more than four meters high, so the height of these bamboos is higher than the city wall, which is suitable for making siege ladders.
Cheng Jun used thick bamboo to build hundreds of bamboo ladders, and nailed thick wood to the siege ladders to facilitate trampling and climbing with his feet, thus forming simple and tough bamboo ladders to climb the city.
Ren Diao saw that the soldiers behind him had recovered after rest and recuperation. They were all energetic and felt relieved. He immediately ordered: "Tell me the order of the general, beat the drums and gather troops, and prepare to attack the city!"
Dongdongdongdongdong
The loud sound of war drums soared into the sky, and tens of thousands of Cheng Han soldiers gathered under the city, with bright armor and spears. Although they were haunted by the Jin cavalry for a while and damaged many soldiers, these soldiers in Shu were still full of morale and murderous intent.
As the drums continued to sound, the Han army of ten thousand were quickly lined up, and a thousand shields rushed out of the team, holding a large shield in hand, arranged the semicircular shield wall, Ren Diao shouted again: "Attack"
"Dongdong" As the sound of the attack drum sounded, the Thousand Swords and Shield Army began to move towards the city wall one mile away step by step.
Cheng's formation changed rapidly, and Sima Ke could see it clearly. He couldn't help but secretly praised Ren Dian's command and Cheng Han Army was well-trained. Seeing that Cheng's sword and shield soldiers had reached 150 steps away, Sima Ke shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"
A crisp sound of crossbows sounded from the city, and hundreds of arrows shot towards the sword and shield soldiers like storm. The sword and shield soldiers stopped immediately. The soldiers half-kneeled and hid behind the shields. Only a crackling sound was heard, hundreds of crossbows shot into the sword and shield soldiers' semicircular formation.
Ren Diao was overjoyed when he saw his shield formation defending the enemy's crossbow arrows.
He looked up and saw hundreds of soldiers holding bows and spears on the top of the city, and were ready to fight. In addition to hundreds of soldiers, there were hundreds of civilians in white clothes to assist the army in defending the city.
In the opinion of Ren Zhi, the Jin army even sent people to defend the city. As expected, the main army of the Jin army had indeed rushed to Chengdu.
Although there are many unstable factors in Chengdu, Chengdu is ultimately majestic in the city walls and cannot be broken overnight. What's more, before Sima Ke left, the unstable forces in Chengdu did not dare to act rashly. Unless they contact Sima Ke directly, they could be scattered.
Therefore, at this moment, Ren Dian was already full of confidence and was determined to forcibly break through Peng Mo City. It would be better to catch Sima Ke, and the entire battle situation would be settled.
Ren Di looked at the more than 10,000 armoured Cheng Han army behind him, and his heart was greatly energetic. He raised his sword in his hand: "Blow the trumpet and attack the city!"
Woo woo woo woo ~
The sound of the attack rose into the sky, and the Cheng Han soldiers of the front army rushed forward on the bamboo ladder.
Above the city tower, crossbow arrows were like rain, shooting wildly down the city tower, shooting down one Cheng Han soldiers after another, but did not stop Cheng Jun's attack at all.
Finally, the first group of attacking soldiers rushed to the city quickly.
With a loud bang, bamboo ladders were heavily laid on the city wall. Hundreds of soldiers rushed up the bamboo ladder and climbed up hard.
Arrows on the city were like rain, and rolling woods and stones smashed down like hail.
The Cheng and Han army gathered thirty or forty bamboo ladders to attack the city wall more than four meters high. Although they held up their shields to block it, they were still smashed and fell, with blood on their heads.
The battle between the two sides gradually became fierce, and the shouts of killing were shaking the sky above and below the city tower.
The battle for the city walls has been fought for most of the time, and there are corpses on the city and under the city, and blood flows into a river.
The city walls were dyed with dazzling red red. More than 30 bamboo ladders siege have been destroyed, but new bamboo ladders are constantly put into battle.
The Chenghan Army had hundreds of people killed and injured, while the defenders at the city wall had only dozens of people killed and injured, most of whom were assisted civilians. They had no armor defense and had weak defense, so they were prone to casualties.
At this time, some Jin troops used iron forks under the order of Sima Ke. This iron fork was both long and heavy, and was a magical tool specially used to deal with this simple siege of city siege.
The iron fork crossed a bamboo ladder, and more than a dozen Jin soldiers pushed out hard. The bamboo ladder swayed and squeaked, and began to leave the city wall and straightened outward. With the shout of the Jin army, the bamboo ladder finally turned outward. More than a dozen Cheng Han soldiers on the siege made screams and fell under the city wall.
Sima Ke saw that almost all the Chenghan army had already entered the siege battle or were preparing for the next round of attacks, and some auxiliary soldiers were preparing for the siege bamboo ladder, completely in chaos, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
As time passed, the Cheng Han soldiers under the city suffered more and more casualties, and the war drums beat again and again, and the morale gradually declined.
Ren Diao never expected that Peng Mocheng was so thin and the Jin army was so tightly guarded, and he couldn't help but show an impatient look.
Sima Ke has excellent eyesight and can see Ren Diao's expression clearly, knowing that the time has come.
The re-election transfer became impatient, and the other soldiers could not be guessed.
He turned around, took a flag, handed it to a messenger, shouted: "Tell me the order, and General Huan attack immediately!"
The commander took over the command flag and immediately ran down the city tower and headed towards the north gate.
……………………
At the north gate of Pengmo City, five thousand Northern Palace Shence Army soldiers stood solemnly, waiting for the general order, ready to attack at any time.
A commander came over with a horse, holding the flag in his hand, shouting loudly: "Transfer the order of the general, and the soldiers of the Northern Palace will attack immediately!"
Huan Wen turned around and saw the soldiers behind him standing solemnly like a forest, with cold murderous intent soaring into the sky, and he became more and more passionate and his fighting spirit rose up.
Brush ~
Huan Wen drew his sword and raised it high above the top. All the soldiers were slapped and stood firm. Thousands of cold eyes were concentrated on his chief general at the same time. There was no other sound in the world, only the heavy breathing of the soldiers and the bleak cold wind blowing the flags.
"The Jin army is mighty!"
Huan Wen raised his arms and shouted, and the passionate sound broke through the silent sky and clearly entered the ears of every soldier in the Northern Palace.
"The Jin army is mighty!"
The soldiers and soldiers of the Northern Palace raised their arms and shouted, the crowd was excited, and the huge sounds were like mountains and rivers collapsed, covering up all the sounds in the world.
"A real man makes achievements today!" Huan Wen turned around and Yuan Jin broke the enemy sword in his hand and slashed from the void. The blood-boiling voice resounded throughout the sky, "Kill!"
"kill!"
The Jin army soldiers responded, and the sword spear shone with dazzling light.
Step by step ~
With the majestic shouts, the soldiers of the Jin army were still in the same array, with heavy armored swords and shield soldiers in front, spear soldiers behind, and crossbowmen at the end, heading towards the south gate of Pengmo City with uniform steps.
