This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 38
Pingcheng was besieged for several days.

The residents in the city all knew that the rebels had arrived, and they all had different expressions.

However, under the strong control of the government army, no one can make waves.

Countless small areas were divided near the surrounding city walls, and a large number of civilians were transferred to this area to repair war equipment.

Every day, a large number of stones, logs, kerosene, etc. are carried to the city wall.

The Wanping army beat drums and horns outside the city every day, pretending to attack by force.

Engage in a defender mentality.

War of words, psychological warfare.

Then it's time for hand-to-hand combat.

Finally on the fifth day of the siege.

Wanping's army shot a letter of war and nailed it to the turret of the city wall.

Does this still require a formal declaration of war?
Cao Su thought to himself, it's all surrounded like this, why can't they just come to have a concert?
"Woo~"

The thick horn sounded again.

Cao Su stood on the city wall, looking into the distance.

Countless soldiers walked out of the endless camp of rebels.

The troops in front were not uniform.

Although they are called "soldiers", they don't actually wear neat armor. If they are in good condition, they only wear leather armor.

But most people have weapons in their hands.

The people in the front are all holding wooden shields.

The army lined up in the front and center, and after the sound of a cannon, a large number of strong men in the barracks carried out more than a dozen ladders.

Afterwards, the army formation was separated in the middle, and more than ten ballista carts were placed in front of the formation.

When the strings are fully pulled, huge crossbow bolts whizzed towards them.

Just listen to the loud noise of "boom".

More than a dozen crossbow arrows shot at the city wall one after another.

Stones flew from the wall.

But almost all right.

In the city, several trebuchets suddenly counterattacked.

The shells lit with kerosene dragged long thick smoke, and smashed into the formation of the Wanping Army who rushed towards them like a tide.

On the battlefield, wailing sounded immediately.

In front of the moat, bows and arrows flew down like rain.

Cao Su held up his wooden shield and observed the enemy's sporadic counterattacking arrows.

"The Wanping Army has very few archers, and almost all of them are infantry."

"The siege equipment is also very simple, and the ballista cart is almost scratching an itch for a thick city wall like Pingcheng."

"This kind of offensive may be difficult to cross even the moat."

On the battlefield, there is a big gap between the old and the new government troops.

The new army was more or less nervous, and their faces were pale.

The old army, on the other hand, was calm and calm, obviously much calmer.

"Woo~"

The horn sounded again.

The Wanping Army's offensive was more rapid and violent.

Under the rain of flying arrows, the sergeants in the front row fell one by one, and most of them rolled into the moat.

On the battlefield shrouded in black smoke, the entire moat instantly turned red.

This offensive lasted for a quarter of an hour, and Wan Ping's army finally crossed many obstacles and forcibly crossed the moat.

Then, the ladder was erected.

There was a ladder right in front of Cao Su.

Cao Su was about to push the ladder away, but was held back by the archer he had been protecting.

"Don't push, let some people come up."

Put some people up?

Cao Su was stunned, how could he still do this?
"In the last wave, push away the ladder and let these people become alone."

This is probably the self-confidence of the old army, or the vast new army of the government also needs to go through such battles to grow and hone rapidly.

Naturally, Cao Su followed the good example, so he waited for some vanguards of the Wanping Army to land on the city.

As soon as these vanguard troops landed on the top of the city, Cao Su and others drew their swords and chopped them down.

In a local war, the enemy is outnumbered.

Almost in the blink of an eye, these sergeants were hacked to death.

"They are all ordinary warriors."

As soon as Cao Su fought, he realized that the opponent's strength was not strong.

The strength of the entire Wanping Army does not seem to be high.

"Enter!"

On the city tower, Wei Tao shouted loudly and gave instructions.

Following his order, some old government troops who had been hiding in the back row rushed forward one after another.

The spear moved forward, stabbing the hearts of many Wanping Army sergeants.

"Push away the ladder!"

At this time, Zhou Qing, who was fighting bloody battles, rushed to Cao Su's side.

The area of ​​Cao Su is also the area in charge of the centurion Zhou Qing.

Seeing that Cao Su had cleared the area, he asked Cao Su to push the ladder away.

Cao Su tried to push the ladder.

He shouted loudly, and the power of Qi and blood exploded.

Hundreds of catties of strength were exerted on the ladder, pushing the ladder over, and even killed several traitors on the ladder.

Qi and blood warriors can generally push away the ladder.

But Cao Su seemed particularly relaxed.

This surprised Zhou Qing, who didn't expect Cao Su to be silent.

The strength is not weak.

The archer went up to the wall again, and attacked the black cloud below.

Wanping's army hurriedly set up wooden shields.

But there will still be some flying arrows piercing into the wooden shield, wounding and killing some soldiers.

After about half a stick of incense, the ladder was erected again.

Wan Pingjun bravely climbed up the ladder.

There was another wave of killing, Wan Ping's army dropped dozens of corpses, and the ladder fell down.

After going back and forth three or four times, the Wanping Army's offensive became much weaker.

The morale of the Vanguard Corps has dropped significantly.

The enemy's camp in the distance strikes the gold.

Amidst the rapid sound of gold ringing, Wanping's army was seen retreating like a tide.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

The first day of confrontation ended hastily.

Leaving behind the devastation and hundreds of corpses.

The Pingcheng government army had almost no damage, and at first the ballista shot and killed a few unlucky people who were too late to react. In the real battle of defending the city, almost no one was killed in battle, but some were injured.

Wanping's army retreated two miles away and returned to the barracks.

Pingcheng opened the gate, and a large number of civilians walked out of the gate to collect the corpses and clean the battlefield.

Some arrows can still be picked up and continued to be used, and gold and silver are still stored on some corpses. These are all spoils of war.

There are countless archers on the city wall staring at them, and the Wanping army can only watch Pingcheng clean up the battlefield.

"The ones who died on the first day, the pioneers who dared to die, warriors without vitality, and their strength is very low."

"It's just a tentative attack. It is estimated that the intensity will become higher and higher in the future."

Cao Su stood in the wall stack, looking at the military camp in the distance, and remained silent.

Zhou Qing deliberately came over to talk to him.

Cao Su's outstanding performance caught his attention.

In Zhou Qing's eyes, Cao Su is young, has high martial arts skills, and has a lot of potential, so he is worth a friend.

"It will be more difficult for Qi and blood warriors to charge up the city wall. Once there are Qi and blood warriors on the wall, you must kill them as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause huge damage to ordinary soldiers."

Zhou Qing told Cao Su a few words.

Cao Su nodded and asked curiously, "Wan Ping Army, how many people are there?"

"It's said to be 10. I guess there are definitely none, but at least [-] sergeants are still there. With a large number of civilians, there may be [-], but it is definitely not a hundred thousand troops."

Zhou Qing has rich experience, and his guesses are close to ten.

What surprised Cao Su was that Wanping's army was more organized than he had imagined.

It looks like a large army, not an ordinary refugee army.

"Wanping Sect has a very large plan, and now the army is well-organized, but it has become a great atmosphere." Cao Su sighed with emotion.

Zhou Qing sneered: "They are just refugees. When the imperial army arrives, they will surely fall apart."

Waiting for the imperial army is also to support the belief that the Pingcheng government army will continue to guard.

From knowing that there are rebels who are about to invade Pingcheng, this is the biggest signal from top to bottom.

Imperial army.

Cao Su was a little silent, he didn't want to put his hope on other people.

In his eyes, only by defeating this large army can he be truly safe.

How can we defeat this "one hundred thousand" army?
Cao Su felt that it was very difficult. The army in Pingcheng had only 4000 people at full strength.

The enemy is outnumbered, and it is so tiring to just defend a wall. After that, the enemy's siege equipment will increase and attack from all directions. How should Pingcheng be defended?

Fortunately, the morale in the city is very strong at the moment.

In the short term, the city should not be broken.

After the first day of battle, the Wanping Army barracks were lit with fire, and after countless torches were lit, it was like a long dragon of fire in the dark night.

At night, you have to guard against the opponent's night attack.

According to the previous rotation system, Cao Su also had to guard for two hours, in the second half of the night.

So he went directly to the wall to rest.

Resting is also easy. The houses near the city wall have been emptied, and you can rest if you find a house.

Everyone in their squad lives together.

Nothing happened on the first day, but after seeing the cruelty of the battlefield and the disappearance of hundreds of lives, everyone was relatively silent.

No one spoke.

When it got dark, he lit a bonfire, disarmed and fell asleep.
