Chapter 74: Siege

"Arrowman, get ready!"

Seeing that they began to attack the city, Zhang Zhong raised his right hand and asked the archer to draw the formation of the Song army.

When the Song army entered the range, Zhang Zhong waved his right hand violently and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

Under Zhang Zhong's order, the archer let go of his fingers.

Arrows flew out and fell on the Song army that was charging forward.

In the blink of an eye, seventy or eighty people fell to the ground and could never wake up again.

The Song army would not be beaten in vain. Soon, they came up with a countermeasure.

A general ordered the crossbowman to draw the thief on the wall to fight back.

Three thousand Song troops pressed the snaps of the crossbow machine, and shot the crossbow arrows quickly to suppress the archers who had few rebels.

This kind of crossbow shot fast and accurate. A large number of archers in the coalition were killed and injured on the spot. The only ones left were holding their heads with their hands and squatting on the ground.

Even Zhang Zhong was the same, as the other party's arrows seemed to be endless.

The Song army, who was responsible for siege, took advantage of the present and advanced rapidly.

The Song army pushed the cloud ladder to the city wall, and approached the city wall, and the long ladder was placed on the city wall.

When Zhang Zhong on the city wall saw it, he was shocked and had never seen a ladder with wheels.

This is a ladder with wood as the bottom frame and six wheels are placed on the bottom.

The ladder body is fixed on the chassis at a certain angle, and a "sub-staircase" that can be moved is added outside the main ladder.

A pair of wheels are installed at the top. When climbing the city, the ladder can move up and down freely along the city walls, and no longer need to be carried on the shoulders.

Of course, this was created temporarily and the credit was not that complete, but it was enough to be used.

Zhang Zhong came back from his fear and quickly recruited the coalition forces to defend the city.

The Song army kept climbing up the ladder.

"Hurry, push the ladder away."

After Zhang Zhonggang finished speaking, two people hugged the baby's head-sized log to push the ladder away.

No matter how hard they tried, the ladder seemed to be fixed on the city wall and could not be pushed.

"General, you can't push it!"

One of them looked at Zhang Zhong at a loss.

Zhang Zhong smashed the stone in his hand towards the Song army on the ladder. One of the Song army screamed and threw the two of them down.

Hearing the soldiers' reports, Zhang Zhong frowned and continued, "Burn with fire."

This is the only way.

Soon, the coalition soldiers lit the ladder with a torch, which took time, but was very effective.

Although there were countermeasures, it was still useless. The Song army built too many ladders.

Now I can only rely on myself.

Bang!

A shocking sound rang out, and Zhang Zhong looked down and saw an unknown person ramming the city gate.

This thing is a rushing car.

"Quick, set the rocket to burn it."

The remaining archers set the rockets towards the car, but they were prepared to block most of the rockets with the round shield in their hands.

There was no choice but to let someone guard the city gate and let the archer continue to shoot arrows on the other side.

The entire city wall was covered with soldiers from both sides fighting each other.

...

South City...

"Kill!"

The Song soldiers roared and rushed up with the rain of arrows.

A Song Bing bit his knife and quickly climbed up the ladder.

Seeing that it was about to go to the city, when he looked up, he saw a man holding a spear in his hand and poked it down.

Yu Gui took back his spear and looked around. His soldiers worked hard to kill the enemy.

"Brothers, keep it for me!"

After Yu Gui finished speaking, he rushed towards the next target.

"Swoosh!"

The arrow shot, and Yu Gui tilted his head and barely avoided the arrow flying by the helmet.

Yu Gui looked in the direction of the arrow shooting, and a general stared at him with a big bow in his hand.

Gu Tingye threw away the big bow in his hand, held a knife, and climbed up along the ladder in three or two steps.

Gu Tingye killed the bandits who blocked his eyes.

Seeing this, Yu Gui killed him with a spear in his hand.

Two people are going back and forth, with the fingers facing the blade.

The Song soldiers under the city also climbed to the top of the city and fought with the coalition soldiers.

On the other hand, Yu Gui was not optimistic. Gu Tingye's offensive became stronger and stronger every time, so he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

He was about to be killed.

Zhang Ji and his men arrived in time. With these people, their strengths and weaknesses changed instantly.

"It's you!"

Gu Tingye was very surprised to see the person coming clearly.

"Young man, I didn't expect to meet again."

Zhang Ji didn't expect to see him again here.

"It seems that it was my negligence to let your family go last time.

Just so happen, today I will kill you first and then your family." Gu Tingye said coldly.

Zhang Ji sneered: "Let's see who dies first today."

After saying that, he rushed towards Gu Tingye with his knife.

Gu Tingye fought against Zhang and the other two, and he did not lose the advantage, and even had a slight advantage.

Although Gu Tingye and Yu Zhang fought no differently, his subordinates were almost killed by the coalition soldiers.

Gu Tingye flashed over the spear that Yu Gui stabbed over, looked around and found that there were not many soldiers left on his side.

The Song soldiers under the city were reluctant to come up.

Gu Tingye knew very well that if this continues, he would sooner or later spend his life here.

So Gu Tingye retreated to Zhang and the others, then slowly retreated to the city to chop, and then killed two bandit soldiers who were leaning over.

"Let you go today, and you won't have such good luck next time."

After saying that, he climbed over the city and fell down the ladder.

Gu Tingye occupied the ground with his feet, and Shitou and his men covered him with shields to guard against the cold arrows shot by the bandits on the city wall.

"Young master, is it okay?"

Shi Tou asked while checking his side.

Gu Tingye smiled "hehe" and said, "It's okay."

Shi Tou breathed a sigh of relief and protected him to a safe place.

However, the Song soldiers who were sieging the city did not stop, but continued to siege the city.

This attack lasted all day, and the Song army left behind corpses from all over the place, and the Jin retreated.

Song Jun camp, Korean style looked at the number of casualties just sent.

This time, there were heavy injuries, more than 2,000 deaths, and more than 40 minor and serious injuries were added.

The siege equipment even damaged the bandits.

"Give orders to treat the wounded and create more siege equipment."

Everyone said in unison: "Receive the order!"

...

On the other side, the Guangdu County Government residence, Zhang Shen and the generals sat together.

They didn't expect the Song army's offensive to be so fierce.

Beicheng alone had lost three times. If Le Lin and others had not fought to the death, Guangdu would have lost today.

By the way, the two types of siege equipment that the Song army took out made them very worried.

"Okay, except for the general who guards the city at night, everyone else will go to bed." Shen Guangdao.

When everyone heard this, they stood up and left.
