Chapter 457 The army sieges the city

Outside Xiling City, Jingzhou, the high-pitched drums suddenly sounded, and the soldiers who were already preparing on Xiling City were immediately on full alert. On the top of Xiling City, a middle-aged man with a tough face and bearded face was watching Zhang Mancheng's army outside the city.

"Person Huang, the thief army outside the city is coming to attack the city again. The head of the city is all up to you. "The thin person standing next to the middle-aged man on the gate tower was wearing a regular suit. Seeing Zhang Mancheng's army outside the city drums, he hurriedly said to the middle-aged man. After saying that, he carried his robe and ran down the city gate tower with his robe and fled all the way to the city. The run-off posture was really clear, and the soldiers shook their heads without saying a word.

"This county magistrate is really timid. If it weren't for the lieutenant here, Xiling City would have been taken down by Zhang Zhe outside the city long ago. It would have been difficult for him to survive until now."

"Shh, let's say a little bit, if the county magistrate listens to your words just now, you will definitely not have the best fruits."

...

Seeing that the county magistrate Liu Xiang left the city and fled to the city with a lifeless look, the generals on the city shook their heads and kept talking. Even Huang Zhong saw the county magistrate so afraid of death at this time, he was helpless. He no longer paid attention to this strange county magistrate. Instead, he looked at Zhang Mancheng's army outside the city, frowned and shouted: "Zhang's thief is about to attack. The generals are ordering all the troops and ready all kinds of defense equipment. When the enemy approaches, he will attack someone head-on."

"promise!"

"Access, I will order the other three guards to guard their respective portals. If they lose, come and ask for support in time." Seeing that the generals got off the city gate tower and went to various city walls to prepare defenses, Huang Zhong immediately ordered the people around him. After Huang Zhong finished his order, several cavalry immediately ran towards the three city gates.

"Dongdongdongdongdong..." The sound of war drums was melodious, and a warm atmosphere rose. "Kill!" Zhang Mancheng's army outside the city stood a group of soldiers carrying rafts and rushed towards Xiling City. These soldiers were all wearing heavy armor. They descended from the shield soldiers' guards and had already prepared rafts to carry them to the moat.

A sound of a raft falling into the water sounded, splashing several feet high, and the waves of water flowing up the city, and the crossbows made waves of roars. Countless craftsmen who were protected by swords and shield soldiers to the moat, combining the rafts that had been placed in the river in the rain of arrows to form flat grounds for soldiers to attack the city. But the Han army on the city would not allow these people to continue. From time to time, shield soldiers were shot away by huge crossbows fired from the crossbows on the city. The craftsmen in it were also exposed to the bows and arrows on the city. The craftsmen wearing only simple armor immediately died under the city wall. However, Zhang Mancheng's army was obviously very prepared. A craftsman died on the battlefield, and then other shield soldiers and craftsmen who had been waiting aside to fill the gaps and continue to build a floating bridge.

When the craftsmen built a floating bridge to one-third, the siege towers, which were behind the army, the siege towers, siege cars, catapults and other siege equipment finally came down behind the craftsmen in the sky rain of arrows and the guards of countless shield soldiers around. The siege towers launched an attack on the city wall far ahead. Countless arrows and flying stones rushed to the city wall opposite the moat, restraining some of the crossbows and archers on the city wall, and reducing a lot of pressure for the craftsmen to build a floating bridge. Especially in the dust hit by huge flying stones, Han soldiers were occasionally smashed by flying stones and fell outside the city wall and smashed them.

Zhang Mancheng's army was far superior to the Han army in the city in terms of number. With the arrow tower, the catapults continued to approach the city wall from all directions. The attacks on it instantly overshadowed the attacks of archers and crossbows on the city wall. The crossbows and arrow towers became fragments under the blow of flying stones. Zhang Mancheng's army's offensive was extremely fierce, and the Han army's offensive on the city wall was immediately suppressed. The craftsmen at the forefront of the army outside the city were taking advantage of the slowdown at the city's offensive and quickly pieced together the rafts floating on the water to form a floating bridge.

Soon several pontoon bridges made up temporarily made up of countless rafts were built. Craftsmen under the protection of shield soldiers continued to use rafts to reinforce the pontoon bridge, so that the pontoon bridge could withstand the weight of siege equipment such as well railings, stone casting cars, siege cars, etc. At the same time, a large number of swords and soldiers who shouldered the siege ladders appeared behind them, erecting extended intermediate siege ladders on the city wall. Countless Zhang Mancheng's soldiers rushed out from behind the army, stepped on the siege ladders, and attacked the city head.

At this time, behind Zhang Mancheng's siege troops, standing on a tower with Zhang Mancheng and others watching the siege battle, Yang Tao saw that Zhang Mancheng's troops were very smooth and seemed to have no need for his own people to come forward to fight Huang Zhong, and he couldn't help but wonder why Zhang Mancheng insisted on letting him fight Huang Zhong.

Seeing that Zhang Mancheng didn't say anything, Yang Tao had to continue watching, and was happy to be leisurely.

A large number of siege troops have set up siege ladders, and the floating bridge is being reinforced. Everything seems to be going well. The Han army on the top of Xiling City has been fired by countless archers outside the city. The flying stones of the catapults cannot raise their heads. Seeing that Xiling City seems to be captured by Zhang Mancheng's army in the next moment, Huang Zhong, who was on the city gate tower, glared and suddenly appeared on his body, covering the entire Xiling City. The defenders of Xiling City suddenly seemed to have taken stimulants. The soldiers who were originally attacked could not raise their heads and could only hide behind the female wall.

, he actually stood up from behind the female wall, with a dazzling bright yellow light filled with his body. The arrows flying from the arrow towers outside the city fell on the soldiers, and they only made waves of tinkling sounds. No arrow could break through the soldiers' defense. Not only that, the soldiers acted like the wind, much faster than before, and could avoid the attack of flying stones. From time to time, they could even emit a series of skill lights that only elite soldiers had. The sword light and spear light flashed can break through the huge stones that were shot from time to time, which was amazing.

A large army of Zhang Mancheng had already poured in from the entire city, but after these soldiers suddenly increased their strength, they were immediately suppressed and retreated continuously. In the end, all the soldiers and horses that Zhang Mancheng had climbed up the city wall were all repelled. The Han army on the city took the opportunity to lift a large amount of rock-casting wood squat oil from the city and threw it outside the city. A large number of soldiers under Zhang Mancheng who were still siege were killed and injured by the falling rolling stone wood, and then were tragically killed under the city wall by the rolling oil.

The situation in Xiling City suddenly changed drastically. The four-sided walls, which were originally in danger, suddenly resolved the crisis. Instead, Zhang Mancheng's army retreated considerably. Even if a general shouted loudly, it could not stop the soldiers from escaping wildly. Instead, it would become Huang Zhong's living target on the city gate tower and be shot one by one by one. The torch thrown by the city wall in Shanghai suddenly formed a raging fire with the help of tinder oil. In such a chaotic situation, the army that originally siege retreated and retreated for several miles before pausing.

Yang Tao was a little stunned when he saw such a dramatic scene, but he was unaware of it. After all, the yellow light was obviously a big move, and it was probably a big move to collectively improve his strength. Maybe it was a skill released by Huang Zhong. However, this skill could actually cover the entire Xiling City, causing Zhang Mancheng, who was sieging the city from all directions to return in vain and suffered heavy losses. The scope was too large.

I just don’t know what this skill is. If it is a famous general skill or a general soul skill, it should not have such great power. It is obvious that those soldiers are just ordinary soldiers but can send out elite soldiers and their defense is greatly improved. Although it is possible to do it with a famous general skill or a general soul skill, the scope is absolutely impossible. Even the skills of a top-level general are not good. This skill is very likely to be the effect of a pseudo-legacy skill or some strange formations. But Huang Zhong is not a wise general or a famous scholar. Even if there is a strange formation, it cannot be arranged. After all, even if there is a formation map, it is not possible for ordinary people to arrange it, and pseudo-legacy skill is even more impossible. Now it is not time to be promoted to the real word, and pseudo-legacy skill should not appear. Unless Huang Zhong has a pseudo-legacy treasure in his hand, it is unlikely. I have never heard of anyone in the Three Kingdoms Region having a pseudo-legacy treasure in his previous life.

Perhaps the only thing that is possible in the Three Kingdoms region is the National Jade Seal. However, that thing is the object of competition among many major forces. Yang Tao was just a scattered person in his previous life, and he had never seen what the National Jade Seal looked like, let alone its level. Huang Zhong should not have the National Jade Seal.

No matter what Huang Zhong is doing, the only thing that can be confirmed now is that Huang Zhong has a similar pseudo-legacy-level skill, and Zhang Mancheng will definitely let himself lead his troops to fight Huang Zhong. Yang Tao has a headache when he thinks of fighting with such a Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong, who does not have such a big move skill, is already difficult to deal with. Now he has this big move in his hand. Even if he can win, he will lose a lot of people. I just hope that his big move will only have this one move, otherwise Yang Tao will really not be able to deal with it. Qianzhang Wang Chuan is still in the hands of Zhang Ning of Jiangheting, and Zhang Ning is not here. It is almost impossible without Qianzhang Wang Chuan to deal with Huang Zhong's ultimate move.

"Brother Jianghe, it's up to you next." Zhang Mancheng suddenly spoke and smiled at Yang Tao.

Looking at Zhang Mancheng's smiling face, Yang Tao really wanted to tear this one and chop it up and feed it to the dog. However, under the current circumstances, facing Zhang Mancheng's words, Yang Tao could only accept it helplessly and reluctantly went down the tower to his headquarters to prepare for the siege.
