Chapter 1904 The **** battle of Yanjing Attack and Defense (13)

Chapter 1902: The **** battle of Yanjing Attack and Defense (13)

 “Archer, shoot your arrows.”

Following Xue Gang's order, thousands of archers drew their bows to full capacity and shot thousands of arrows at once, turning into a rain of arrows and falling on the Qin army's position. However, the Qin army was well prepared for this.

With a tacit understanding, the Qin army put up their shields together to form a shield wall, blocking most of the arrows. Only a few people who were too late to put up their shields were shot to death.

After the Qin army built a defense with the shieldmen, a large number of archers immediately emerged from the rear, hiding behind the shields, and fired at the defenders on the tower.

  Catapults, well rails, crossbows, and bows and arrows all formed a powerful force, constantly pouring firepower into the city towers, creating opportunities for the soldiers carrying ladders and risking their lives to attack the city.

When Xue Gang saw another group of Qin troops breaking through his own firepower and setting up a ladder on the city wall, he immediately ordered: "Fire oil, put on the fire oil quickly."

The ladders used by the Qin army were all unique. There were rows of undercuts at the top of the ladders. Once they were put on the tower, it would be difficult to push them away with manpower. The best solution was to burn them with kerosene.

"Commander, our army has run out of kerosene. There is no more kerosene available."

"What?"

Xue Gang's face turned a little ugly.

The Qin army has been attacking Yanjing for six consecutive days. During these six days, both the attacking Qin army and the Han army defending the city suffered heavy casualties. Now the Han army has even run out of fuel. .

Xue Gang had long expected that the kerosene would be used up. After all, although the Han army had stored a large amount of kerosene, the quantity was limited, but he did not expect that it would be used up so quickly.

Xue Gang had already prepared the defensive equipment that replaced the kerosene, so he did not panic when the kerosene ran out.

"When the kerosene is used up, add gold juice. In short, we must not let the Qin army board the city." Xue Gang shouted.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

A large amount of boiled gold juice was carried up to the tower in buckets by the soldiers, and then poured down on the ladder.

The soldiers of the Qin army who were climbing up with their shields were horrified when they saw this scene. They quickly raised their shields to block, but they were still beaten to death by the golden juice. They couldn't help but fall down from the ladder and fell to death. .

"ah…"

 For a time, the screams of the soldiers spread across the entire battlefield, and at the same time, a strong stench spread.

Su Dingfang's face became a little unsightly when he saw that Xue Gang had used gold juice instead of kerosene and stalled the Qin army's offensive again.

In the past, when the Qin army used gold juice to attack the enemy, it was a joy. Today, the enemy in the county has also used gold juice to deal with it. This is really a reincarnation of heaven.

During the six days of siege, Su Dingfang personally directed the army to attack the city while continuing to send messages to Yanjing City, which caused instability within Yanjing.

Seeing this urgency, Liu Che had to stand up again and explain to the people in person. But once there are too many explanations, the effect will naturally be bad.

 In general, the people's will to resist in Yanjing has been greatly reduced and is not as fanatical as before. However, the army is not easily affected. After all, Xue Gang is personally in charge of the army.

“Commander Su, the twelfth wave of soldiers who climbed onto the tower have all been killed again.

In just ten days, our army suffered casualties of 20,000 troops. The casualties were too great. It was better to postpone the offensive first and make repairs. "Xue Rengui said in a deep voice.

"No, it's not going well for our army, and it's even worse for the Han army. The current Han army is like a taut string. As long as we work harder, the string can be broken."

With that said, Su Dingfang took his spear and shouted: "Give me the order. No one is allowed to step back even half a step before the commander does. Anyone who violates this will be killed without mercy."

After saying that, Su Dingfang stopped giving orders. Instead, he directly drew his gun and killed him, preparing to personally participate in the siege of the city.

Xue Rengui saw this urgent situation and wanted to stop him, but where he could not stop him, he could only take over the command from Su Dingfang, and at the same time let Sun Lingming and Lu Bu go to protect Su Dingfang's safety.

"Sirs, the Han army will not be able to hold on any longer. The city will be destroyed in the near future. Kill them."

Su Dingfang raised his arms and shouted. When the Qin army officers saw that their commander had personally participated in the battle, their morale suddenly increased, and they roared and attacked Yanjing City again.

When Xue Gang on the city tower saw Su Dingfang, he immediately directed some catapults to aim at Su Dingfang, and dozens of stone bullets were thrown at him.

At the critical moment, a halberd and a stick came across the air to protect Su Dingfang's left and right sides, crushing all the stone bullets that came towards him.

The next moment, under the command of Xue Rengui, the Qin army's catapult also sent flying stones and destroyed the catapult that had just aimed at Su Dingfang.

 “Su Shuai, you are too messy.”

Lu Bu shouted and waved the Fangtian Huaji to block Su Dingfangge's arrows.

"This is the best time to break the city. I must step forward to inspire the morale of the soldiers." Su Dingfang said.

What Su Dingfang said is correct. In the ten days of **** battle, the Qin army suffered 20,000 casualties, and the Han army also suffered 40,000 casualties. Only 60,000 defenders were left, and corpses were everywhere inside and outside Yanjing City.

Although Liu Che once again recruited 20,000 people from the common people to participate in defending the city, most of these people were old and weak and could not play a big role, far less than the strong men recruited for the first time.

Under Su Dingfang's overwhelming suppression, Yanjing, a malnourished camel, was already on the verge of being crushed. However, the Qin army also used all its cards. There was no other way to increase its bargaining chip, and because Su Dingfang could do this last A straw.

With Su Dingfang personally attacking the city, the morale of the Qin army soared. A large number of soldiers attacked the city and fought to the death with the Han army, forcing Xue Gang to join the battle himself.

Although Xue Gang left, he still issued a death order to keep an eye on Sun Lingming and Lu Bu. He knew that if these two people ascended the tower, the whole city of Yanjing would be hopeless.

Gradually, the number of Qin soldiers who climbed onto the tower reached over a thousand. This was the largest number of people who had climbed onto the tower, and it was also the most likely time to break the city.

 If this trend continues, no matter how great Xue Gang is, he will not be able to turn the tide.

After seeing this scene, Su Dingfang even smiled in victory, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Che personally brought people to support him.

[Ding dong, Liu Che’s skill ‘Wu Xiong’ effect 3 is activated. If he goes to the battlefield in person, all generals will gain +1 command, the entire army’s force +1, and the overall quality of the entire army will be greatly improved;

Xue Gang’s basic commander is 97, Takeo’s effect is 3+1, his effect is 5+2, Five Tigers and One Tai Sui are +3, and his current commander has increased to 104. 】

“Soldiers, I am with you.”

Under the protection of Xue Kui and Xue Jiao, Liu Che, wearing golden armor and holding a sword, led the palace guards to the city tower and actually participated in the defense of the city himself.

To make up for yesterday’s guarantee.
