In order to attack Huguan, the Yangzhou Army used catapults, ballistae, wells, and ladders to their full potential.
At the beginning, the defenders were directly suppressed.
But having said that, among the 5,000 troops who first ascended, there were also casualties gradually appearing, and the number continued to increase.
This is something that cannot be avoided. There are no casualties in a war.
If there are no siege equipment, in a sense, the lives of soldiers are used to fill the ravines, and the losses will be even more severe.
Zhao Yun secretly brought the ballistae and catapult just for this moment.
I saw that at Huguan, the defenders were in chaos.
As the Yangzhou army climbed up the city wall, the most effective arrows for defending the city gradually lost their effectiveness.
Under sparse attacks, the first troops stubbornly pushed dozens of wells to the edge of the city wall.
Immediately, the densely packed Yangzhou army transported troops towards the city wall along the Banqiao on the well.
At the same time, more and more ladder teams are setting up ladders one after another. Although the crossbow arrows inserted into the city wall can be climbed, they are not as reliable as ladders after all.
As long as the first unit rushes forward and seizes part of the city wall, the subsequent units will be easier.
"Hold on! Hold on for me!"
At this moment, on the wall of Huguan City, Xiahou Shang roared at the top of his voice, commanding the soldiers to grit their teeth and resist.
It has to be said that the Yangzhou Army¡¯s ferocious offensive was completely beyond his expectation.
¡°If at the beginning, he was confident that he could hold on for three hours, now it may be difficult for him to hold on for even one hour.
Before defending the city, Xiahou Shang already had a high opinion of the invading Yangzhou Army, but now it seems that three points is not enough.
The Yangzhou Armyhas become so powerful that it is invincible!
When the wind blew up, Zhang He gave an order, and the archers on the well guard shot rockets into the city.
Whizzing¡ª¡ª
Gradually, flames ignited in several places inside Huguan.
Under the influence of the wind, bursts of black smoke began to fill the city.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The coughs of the defenders were heard in the city.
The defenders became even more confused. It was not difficult to estimate that they were struggling to put out the fire.
A chaotic din.
The kettle is closed at this moment, just like a pot of boiling water.
After fighting for about half an hour, Zhang He ordered the soldiers fighting on the front line to retreat.
??Sent out reserve soldiers with more physical strength and higher morale to take over the former's battle.
They scrambled to climb the city wall one after another, giving people a feeling of overwhelming power.
"kill!"
The Yangzhou soldiers all over the mountains and plains raised their arms and shouted excitedly, so much so that they broke out the most ferocious offensive in this battle so far.
Like a pack of wolves, they began to bite their prey.
On the other hand, the Huguan defenders, although they still tried hard to hold on, were exhausted due to the continuous fighting and were unable to make an effective counterattack.
Change defense?
Absolutely does not exist.
Once it retreats, the city wall will no longer have a foothold.
Therefore, the soldiers sent to the city wall have only one end, and that is to fight to the death.
Gradually, some people accepted the reality, while others were unwilling.
Fear is spreading.
Xiahou Shang had to kill the deserters to support his morale, which was about to collapse.
The whole battle situation was in chaos.
The defenders of each team were cut off, and they could only fight on their own, holding on to their positions in a daze.
At this time, the Yangzhou Army had advanced in full force, and various types of troops gradually appeared on the city walls. Among them, sword and shield soldiers were the main ones, charging forward to clear the way, supplemented by spearmen and crossbowmen.
One of them stabbed out the spear from the gap of the shield, and the other shot the enemy in the distance. They cooperated very well.
The sword and shield soldiers advanced steadily, gradually making the defenders despair.
The defenders had to accept a cruel fact - that is, they could not pose any substantial threat to the pressing Yangzhou Army.
The fall of the city wall is just a matter of time.
"Come on, give it all to me!"
Xiahou Shang couldn't control such a chaos. He had only one way, and that was to catch up groups of soldiers and block the gap with his life.
Zhang He also climbed onto the city wall and took command on the battlefield.??
"Throw the body down to scare the defenders!"
As he spoke, someone was already taking action.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Corpses continued to be pushed into the city, accumulating more and more, at least 3,000 corpses.
Seeing this scene, the defenders were frightened. According to the situation of the battle, they might become the person lying on the ground in the next second.
"Come on? Come on! Those bastards behind you, don't you know that I'm about to vomit blood?"
The defenders who were caught in the middle of the stairs were yelling curses. There were people in front of them and people behind them. They were squeezed so hard that there was no space at all.
Under such conditions, there are still people urging you from behind.
Are you afraid that we won¡¯t die quickly enough?
This kind of thinking is spreading and can no longer be stopped.
"Fire the arrow!"
The crossbowmen on the Yangzhou Army's city wall released a shower of arrows. The defenders in the city complained endlessly and looked for bunkers one after another.
Another wave of chaos.
Xiahou Shang still ordered to advance, but the team quietly evacuated to the rear.
However, even so, the crossbowmen of the Yangzhou Army persisted in biting the defenders, shooting the defenders one after another with their crossbows.
Until the defenders retreat out of range.
This means that there is a gap between the defenders in the city and the defenders on the city wall, and they can no longer provide timely support.
"Kill, clear the road!"
Zhang He gave an order, and the Yangzhou army used the weapons in their hands to force the defenders who had no time to escape to fight bravely.
They stopped and gathered together in fear.
"Surrender without killing! Surrender without killing!"
Some people in the Yangzhou army began to persuade them to surrender.
Those defenders who were forced into a desperate situation surrendered and laid down their weapons.
Because they feel abandoned.
Especially the peasant soldiers, who were forced into a desperate situation, never thought of fighting for Cao Cao.
Of course, there were also some diehards who roared angrily, showed an increasingly fierce side, and made a final counterattack in an attempt to kill a Yangzhou soldier.
Seeing this, Zhang He was furious. Just as he was about to carry a spear to the rescue, he heard the sound of the trigger being pulled, and with a few whoosh sounds, the few resisters were shot into hedgehogs by the crossbowmen behind the sword and shield soldiers.
Soon after, the Yangzhou army occupied the city wall and the battle line advanced into the pass.
Zhang He once again clenched the spear in his hand, raised his arms and shouted loudly: "The Yangzhou army advances! Occupy Huguan!"
¡ª¡ª
The gate of Huguan City was opened jointly by dozens of soldiers.
Tens of thousands of Yangzhou troops rushed in to boost their morale and engage in a desperate struggle with the desperate defenders.
The rain of arrows from the Yangzhou Army once again enveloped the battlefield, over the heads of the defenders who were determined not to surrender.
"Block! Block! Protect King Wei!"
Xia Houshang shouted heartbreakingly and ordered his guards to press forward.
But the situation has collapsed and he can't control it at all. He is just hanging on for a breath.
The Yangzhou Army entered the most difficult street fighting. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
