Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"This Jing County is not only guarded by a city wall, but also surrounded by a moat more than two meters wide. If you want to capture this city, you have no chance to attack it with artillery bombardment alone."

"If you really want to establish a victory, you have to lead a wave of troops towards the city gate."

……

"rush?"

……

"Hehe, of course we are going to rush, but the [-] cavalry of our first army division was brought back to Lujiang by the lord, and the manpower is much smaller than that of the other two divisions."

"In addition... In addition, soldiers from two large battalions were borrowed by Lu Su's army division last night..."

"Just talking about the number of people, we are now the one with the lowest number among the three major military divisions."

"If you want to break through this city wall, let me see, you have to use this artillery for a few more rounds!"

……

"Anyway, we came here this time, and we brought a lot of artillery and projectiles. If we don't use it this time, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"

……

In this way, under Pei Yuanshao's signal, the city gate in the west of Jingxian County was once again caught in a lot of artillery fire.

It wasn't until five rounds of salvos were fired from the artillery position that the brass gun barrel was about to become hot and deformed. Then Pei Yuanshao waved his hand, and thousands of soldiers rushed towards the gate of the city.

"Brothers, follow me!"

"The first person to enter the city will be rewarded with ten catties of gold, and countless wine, meat and delicacies!"

Following Pei Yuanshao's loud roar, the sword and shield squad that had been prepared for a long time immediately rushed to the city gate that had become fragmented not far away.

After the previous bombardment that was like plowing the ground, now Ximen can't even gather a few people to come out, let alone defend with troops.

The distance of more than [-] meters passed by in a blink of an eye. Although many Shanyue soldiers reacted and tried to attack the soldiers attacking the city with bows and arrows condescendingly... But the damage caused to Jing County by the previous waves of bombardment was too great.

With the remaining manpower on the gate tower of Shanyue City, it is impossible to launch an organized counterattack against the soldiers of Lujiang.

In addition, the sword and shield soldiers in Lujiang were already wearing armor, and they also had a round shield in their left hand to protect the bows and arrows coming from above...

The first wave of thousands of soldiers rushed under the city wall of Jing County with almost no decent resistance.

Afterwards, there was a burst of swimming and crossing the river, and under the temptation of a large number of gold rewards, the battalion-level officers who led the charge rushed towards the fragmented city gate not far away as if desperate.

Through the shattered opening of the city gate, the soldiers of Lujiang could even see the slightly terrified expressions on the faces of the people guarding the gate.

……

"Haha, I will accept the achievement of breaking the city!"

A middle-aged man with a strong figure shouted loudly, and then the big knife in his hand slashed on the city gate as if surrounded by the wind.

The already broken wooden city gate suddenly splashed a lot of sawdust again, and the originally solid door bolts also began to become a little crumbling.

This person is not a famous general in history, but just a battalion officer of the rank of a thousand-man commander.

But such an ordinary mid-level officer also put a lot of pressure on the defenders behind the door.

Those swords protruding from the broken part of the city gate slashed at his body, which could only bring out the muffled sound of gold and iron clashing.

Under the protection of the full body armor, the defenders behind the gate are not easy to use their strength, and they can't hurt the soldiers attacking the gate at all.

In the end, the general was forced to retreat by the falling rocks from the tower, and the Yue defenders behind the city gate breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just a pity that the opponent's retreat was only temporary. In just a short while, thousands of people had already crossed the moat, and those with high martial arts skills among the crowd arrived near the city gate one after another.

These people are not just holding simple swords as weapons.

Sledgehammers, maces, and other siege weapons abound. Pei Yuanshao even saw a young general wielding a chain hammer and hitting the link of the city gate. The city gate, which had a basic shape, suddenly disappeared. After one time, it cracked a lot.

According to this posture, I am afraid that it will not be long before the scattered city gates will be completely breached, and the two sides will also enter a tragic battle for the city gates.

……

"Siege the city before noon?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid it won't take that long."

……

Standing at the forefront of the siege with a weapon in hand, Pei Yuanshao watched the crowd rushing towards the city gate, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Beside him, Zhou Cang rushed towards the city gate with a serious face.

After crossing the moat, things like horses and mounts were left on the outside. Whether it was the soldiers at the bottom or the leading generals, they were rushing towards the city on their own two legs at this moment.

Different from others, Zhou Cang is a solid military general, even among the generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he can be regarded as a very capable echelon character.

Under his offensive, although there will not be a grand scene where one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it, there is obviously no problem in simply breaking through the city gate.

Chapter 83 The Perfect Opportunity

"drink!"

"Give me... break it!"

……

With a powerful slash, Zhou Cang slashed at the crack of the city gate, Zhou Cang's hands were strong, and the big knife made of fine steel pierced into the door immediately, breaking through every inch of sawdust, and a blood mist was created behind the city gate.

Taking advantage of the people behind the door screaming and retreating, Zhou Cang grabbed the handle of the knife in one hand, and suddenly lifted his foot to the front door.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of fiber cracking, the thigh-thick door bolt behind the city gate could no longer withstand such a toss. After the defenders in the city retreated, it immediately broke into two pieces and flew out towards the rear.

At the same time, the gate to the west of Jingxian County, which had been standing firm all along, was officially announced to be breached by Zhou Cang and others.

If hundreds of years later, after a certain development of mechanical science, the city gate of Jing County might use that kind of advanced noose structure, that is, if the iron chain is cut off on the city gate, the falling part will be completely broken. Lock the city gate below to form a semi-permanent fortification.

It's just a pity that at present, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the city gates are still fixed with simple bolt riveting structures. Once the rear door bolts break, the gates on both sides will uncontrollably open to the sides. The defenders in the city could no longer take advantage of the geographical advantage to resist the attack of the Han army.

Under the power of Zhou Cang's kick, the arduous siege battle turned into a chaotic battle at the gate of the city. Amidst the shouts of the crowd, an offensive and defensive battle against the gate of Jing County officially started .

The weapons made of refined steel tore off snowflakes on the fragile human body. After a while, some narrow passages of the city gates were completely covered with a large number of corpses and blood.

Among these corpses, it is inevitable that there is the existence of the Han army from the Lujiang side, but more of them are those Shanyue soldiers who are only wearing simple spliced ​​leather armor and holding big knives.

After the two sides fell into a brainless melee, the armor rate, as the most critical factor affecting the combat survival rate of the ancient army, quickly demonstrated its importance.

The two sides obviously fought with their lives on the battlefield, but every time the Han army attacked, they would tear up the bodies of several Shanyue soldiers in front.

And every time, when the soldiers of Shanyue launched a counterattack against the Han army in front of them, they slashed at the opponent's body with long knives, but there was only a short metallic whine.

Except for a very small number of unlucky ghosts who were injured or even killed along the gaps in the armor, most of the Lujiang soldiers who participated in the battle did not suffer any fatal injuries.

After the torso is heavily protected, using injuries instead of death has become the most common method of exiting the battlefield in the Lujiang Army.

That is to say, before a stick of incense was enough, the Shanyue soldiers who resisted in front of the Han army felt intense pressure on themselves, which made them even a little short of breath.

However, the Han army who fought against Shanyue in the tunnel retreated one batch and then changed another batch, and one batch retreated and another batch changed.

The ones who appeared in front of Shanyue now were already the number of soldiers who rushed into the city gate corridor.

Under the continuous offensive of these people like a wave, the first person who couldn't bear the pressure of the opponent's attack and started to retreat voluntarily appeared on the battlefield.

Shyness is like the most intense infectious disease, it spreads among the crowd immediately after it appears.

When Shanyue General Pan Lin, who had fainted before, woke up slowly under the rescue of everyone, what he saw was such a sad scene of ghosts crying and wolves howling, and Shanyue's defenders retreating layer by layer.

……

"Damn, what are you all doing!"

"Don't go back!"

"Top! Give it all to me!"

……

A wave of anger welled up in his chest, and when Pan Lin saw the crowd fleeing in all directions, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his whole face turned pale, even a little pale.

And at such a critical moment, he didn't bother to save himself.

I saw Pan Lin struggling to get up, and the first thing he did was to call the rear guard troops and replace all the Shanyue defenders whose morale had collapsed.

In the era of cold weapons, morale is one of the most important military characteristics.If an army is killed and loses its morale, all that awaits them is disintegration and fleeing, and it is impossible to show the slightest resistance.

……

The addition of the new force from the reserve team at the rear slowed down the disintegration of the defenders at the city gate.

Perhaps Pan Lin, as a general in the army, was really very prestigious. After he spoke, the Han and Yue sides once again stalemate at a place not far below the city gate.

The Han army poured in along the gushing path of the city gate, and everyone was trying their best to charge towards the city.

It is a pity that after the Han army broke into the city, the area of ​​engagement between the two sides changed drastically.

Originally, the Han army had five against four, or even four against three, which took a lot of advantages.

But as soon as this man entered the city, the surrounded army became the army of Lujiang No. [-] soldier Ma Si.

The people who were originally on the outside of the semicircle appeared on the inside of the semicircle on the battlefield this time.

Facing Shanyue's defensive formation bristling with swords and guns, Zhou Cang was a little surprised to find that he could not move the front line anymore.

Not only him, but also the young people beside him felt the pressure surged, and the whole team subconsciously retreated to the rear.

The Han army, which was still in the upper hand, was pushed back to the vicinity of the city gate corridor step by step.

The previous efforts were taken away again in this short period of time. A feeling called "pressure" made Zhou Cang feel a little sweaty all over his body, and even looked at the enemies ahead, his eyes changed. Something was wrong.

……

"No... no, why did these guys suddenly become so difficult to fight?"

"Could it be possible to change someone?"

……

Subconsciously muttering something in his heart, Zhou Cang waved away the long knife that was looking at him in front of him, and stepped forward at the moment the weapons collided, leaving a wound on the opponent's body.

But that's about it.

After Zhou Cang took the initiative to attack, several guys immediately followed him. Under the joint attack of everyone, even if Zhou Cang's martial arts were superb, he had to take the initiative to retreat in this chaotic army.

Although the personal strength of these defenders cannot be said to be tyrannical, they seemed to have been infected with some kind of madness during the siege just now, and they became very cooperative with each other. It caused considerable trouble to Zhou Cang.
