Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 175 Under Siege

"Whoosh ... whoosh ... whoosh ..."

With the continuous pouring of fire oil tanks and rockets, the ladders erected by the Yellow Turban Army on the moat suddenly burst into flames one after another.

Those yellow scarf soldiers who were still on the ladder were now as if they were in a sea of ​​flames. In a panic, they chose to jump into the moat one after another.

It's a pity that those yellow turban soldiers who chose to jump into the moat avoided the end of being burned to death by the fire, but their final outcome was definitely not much better.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

Those yellow turban soldiers who jumped into the river had no time to get excited, and then they uttered screams in severe pain, and soon ended their short lives.

"squeak……"

The gate of Yecheng, which had been closed all along, opened quietly, and then a thousand cavalry rushed out under the leadership of Jiang Song.

The thousand yellow turban soldiers who had crossed the river before could not advance or retreat now.In front is the tall city wall of Chen Liu, and behind it is the moat and the burning ladders on the river.

These yellow turban soldiers who had nowhere to go could only bear the killing of these cavalrymen helplessly and desperately.

"Liu Pi, Gong Du." Seeing that the battle ahead was not going smoothly, Chi You pondered for a moment, and then said suddenly.

"The end is here."

Behind Chi You, two men with hulking backs and ferocious faces came out, and two men with steel knives came out immediately.

"Liu Pi, quickly lead a team of troops to support and continue to attack the city. Gong Du, you lead another team and start filling the river, using both methods." Chi You said with a serious face.

"promise."

……

"Brothers, kill me."

After receiving the support, the soldiers of the Yellow Turbans were obviously boosted in morale. They were all roaring like madmen, while struggling to carry the ladder, and charged forward.

"Archer, keep firing your arrows."

Looking at the yellow scarf soldiers who charged up again, Li Xiang's eyes flashed coldly, and he immediately shouted.

"Kill kill kill..."

The big Han soldiers on the city wall roared at the top of their lungs, and then rained icy arrows in clusters on the heads of the densely packed ephedra scarf soldiers crowded under the city wall.

This one, the yellow turban soldiers were a little smarter, not only pushed the ladder together, covered the shield, but also put a layer of SARS on the shield hand.

This time, even if Li Xiang wanted to repeat the old plan, it would not be easy to burn these ladder bridges again.

"Roll the log, Lei Shi is ready."

Seeing more and more Yellow Turban soldiers rushing across the moat and approaching the city wall, Li Xiang immediately issued an order.

Dozens of ladders were erected one after another, and they were placed heavily on the city wall of Chenliu. Seeing this, the yellow scarf soldiers below also climbed up swiftly.

"put."

When the Yellow Turban soldiers had almost climbed up, Li Xiang immediately gave an order, and then threw down a thunder stone weighing more than ten kilograms.

The Rolling Wood Thunder Stone is no more than a bow and arrow, and does not need to be aimed.

Once it's time to need things like rolling wood and thunder stones, it means that the enemy has begun to approach the city wall.

At this time, there must be a large area of ​​densely packed enemies under the city.Therefore, there is no need to aim specifically, as long as you smash down casually, you can kill many enemies.

Rolling logs and thunderstones poured down from the top of the city like raindrops, and the yellow turban soldiers who were hit were either killed or injured, but they continued to climb up the city wall one after another.

Huns soldiers continued to cry and fell down, but the offensive of the Yellow Turban soldiers did not stop because of this, they still climbed up with hands and feet.

However, although these yellow turban soldiers were quite heroic, the officers and soldiers on the city wall were obviously not vegetarians.

Under the crazy firepower output of the Han officers and soldiers, almost no Yellow Turban soldiers could easily climb the city wall.Even if there are one or two lucky ones who can get close to the top of the city wall, what they will then face is the stabbing attack of the big Han spearmen who are waiting in battle.

The Yellow Turban is not the same as the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu's aerial ladder is really just a simple long ladder. With the current level of the Huns, it is already very difficult to achieve this level of aerial ladder.However, because the Yellow Turbans plundered a large number of craftsmen, the ordnance of the Yellow Turbans was not much worse than that of the Han army, and the ladder was the same.

In ancient China, there were wheels on the bottom of the ladder, which could be pushed, so instead of calling it a ladder, it would be better to call it a "ladder car".

Moreover, the ladder car is also equipped with anti-shield, winch, grapple and other appliances, and some even have lifting equipment with pulleys.

During the Battle of Yanmen Pass, Li Xiang could overturn the Xiongnu's ladder with a putter, but this move obviously couldn't be used on the Yellow Turban Army's ladder.

On the ladder of the Yellow Turban Army, there were two grappling hooks firmly grasping the position of the city wall.This kind of ladder cannot be dealt with by a simple push rod at all.

Of course, any siege equipment is made of wood, and fire attack is the best way to deal with wood products.

However, the wisdom of the ancients is inexhaustible. Although this factor cannot be completely avoided, there have been obvious improvements in the evolution of the ladder for so long.

When the ladder was manufactured, some simple fire prevention measures were taken at that time.Moreover, some large pieces of wood are used in the manufacture of ladders.Due to various factors, although Huo Gong is still extremely restrained on the ladders, but when the ladders are actually burned, it is not done in one cluster.Among them, a burning process is required.

"Command, put fire oil."

Although the fire attack is not immediately effective against the ladder car, it is obvious that the fire attack is still one of the best ways to deal with the ladder.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

Although the ladder could not be burned for a while, the yellow turban soldiers who were hit by the kerosene on the ladder all let out miserable screams.

After all, the wooden ladders showed their fear of the flames. Under the constant and merciless burning of the flames, those ladders could not hold up after all, and all of them squeaked and wailed, and then They fell down one after another.

Dozens of other yellow scarf soldiers who had nowhere to escape were crushed under the heavy ladder, and their tendons were broken in an instant, but they didn't die for a while, and they were screaming pitifully.

As for the Yellow Turban soldiers who had lost their existing ladders, the ladders behind them had obviously not been transported, so they lost the way to continue to attack the city for a while, and could only passively bear the attack of the Han army on the city wall, but there was no way.

The first yellow turban soldier who collapsed appeared, followed by the second, and the third... Finally, almost all the yellow turban soldiers turned around and ran away in a panic.

However, it was obvious that the Han army on the top of the city would not let them go so easily, and the arrows were still ruthlessly demanding their lives.
