Chapter 2

At this time, there were not many siege equipment, but they were definitely not too few. Zhang Ji still had a lot of ladders and crashes under his command.

Cloud ladders are not the long ladders in TV dramas. In this era, only those nomads who don't know how to build siege equipment will use that kind of ladder.

Under Zhang Ji's ladder is a cart, which is pulled by horses and goes to the bottom of the city. There are wooden boards in front and left and right of the horse to prevent the bows and arrows from the city from hitting the horses.

And the ladder on the car is not a long ladder, but consists of three sections.The bottom section is also nailed with wooden boards, covered with fur, and protected from arrows.Only the top two sections are exposed to the enemy's arrows.

The same is true for the crash car, which has wooden boards and furs on it to protect the siege soldiers below.

But even so, siege is also a war of attrition. Sun Tzu said in the art of war: If you double it, you will fight it, if it is five times, you will attack it, and if it is ten, you will surround it.

Why do you say that?Because the more people you have, the more active you are.With ten times the strength, it is possible to besiege the city, and wait for the enemy to run out of food and grass, and either break through or surrender; five times the strength can attack the city, so that the enemy knows that he is not an opponent, and will not despair, and fight to the end; Doubling the number of troops, don't attack the city, but draw the enemy out to fight in the field.

Now Zhang Ji's army strength is three or four times that of Rangcheng, and it is not impossible to attack the city, but it is a bit difficult.However, most of the Yongliang soldiers were on the battlefield, with extremely rich combat experience and incomparable bravery, so Zhang Ji chose to attack the city.

Of course, he can't do without attacking the city. There is not enough food in the army, and it will run out of food in a few days.

Zhang Yi watched from behind as he attacked the city ahead. The attack lasted for about two hours, with only two or three hundred casualties, which was completely incomparable to the tragedy described in those novels.In fact, think about it. After all, they are all living people, so of course they know how to avoid bows, arrows and stones.What is used now is not guns and cannons, people have no reaction time, no matter how fast the arrow is shot, it is far worse than the bullet!

This is also related to the fact that there are not many bows and arrows in Rangcheng. There are only three to 4000 people in Rangcheng, and there are only one or two thousand bows. Not all of them are used.

The arrows were shot down sparsely, and unless one was particularly unlucky, it would be difficult to be shot.Even the soldiers on the ladder who are being taken care of are very difficult to kill, otherwise they would not have attacked the city several times.

Seeing how many times he climbed to the top of the city and was beaten down, Zhang Ji lost his composure. He immediately waved his hand and ordered to the cavalry behind him: "Draw your bow and shoot directly at the top of the city, and help my soldiers to climb the city and make meritorious deeds! "

Zhang Xiu was the commander of the cavalry, and immediately shouted loudly: "You all come with me!"

The other cavalry immediately followed, and Zhang Yi also followed quickly.He was also a member of the cavalry.He followed others, galloped towards the city wall, and then watched how others approached the city wall and shot arrows.

After Zhang Yi got used to it for a few days, riding a horse was no problem, but shooting an arrow right away was too difficult.It's okay when the horse is stationary, but not when the horse is moving.So while drawing his bow, he slowed down his horse and aimed towards the city.

Then he was alone!The horses in front had finished shooting their arrows and were running back. He hadn't reached the city yet.But he seemed to be lucky. The people on the city wall had just finished shooting arrows and were about to see how many cavalry they had killed.

He arrived at this time, and shot an arrow, directly killing a defender.The defender even fell down the city with his bow, which shocked many people, because he was the only defender who fell down the city today.

It was extremely difficult to shoot the defenders down from the city. The cavalry also killed more than a dozen archers just now, but none of them fell into the city.

This was a stroke of luck, and Zhang Yi was taken aback by the falling dead body.His horse was also taken aback, and jumped out directly, dodging the arrows shot down from the city again.

Zhang Yi ran out with lingering fear. If the horse hadn't been frightened just now, he might have confessed there.

Zhang Xiu came up with the cavalry, patted Zhang Yi's shoulder and laughed loudly: "Brother Yi, I didn't see it! You kid has some tricks! And this skill is not bad!"

Zhang Yi is confused, my skills are not bad?You should have someone look at your eyes, it's no different from being blind!

The others also came over and patted Zhang Yi, saying that Zhang Yi had made a contribution.Zhang Yi was really confused. He didn't understand what was so strong about him. How powerful would it be if he shot an enemy soldier to death?
How did he know that Zhang Xiu and the others were just doing it for the city to see!They all knew what level Zhang Yi was, and he couldn't even ride a horse steadily!Shooting the enemy must be based on luck, but the enemy doesn't know. If they do this, the enemy must think that Zhang Yi is a warrior, and then they will focus on taking care of Zhang Yi, so their next attack will be much safer.

Zhang Yi didn't know the twists and turns of these guys. These shady guys actually regarded him as a target and told the enemy to shoot him!

After "encouraging" Zhang Yi, Zhang Xiu rushed up again with the cavalry.Sure enough, this time they suffered a lot less attacks, and more arrows were aimed at Zhang Yi.

What's even more interesting is that Zhang Yi didn't know it and suddenly fell behind. There were a lot more arrows around him, but because he was wearing armor, he bounced a few arrows away, and then pulled the short bow fiercely without seeing it. , and shot out just by feeling.

If a person is unlucky, drinking cold water can clog the gap between his teeth; if a person is lucky, a dog can pick up gold by grabbing food.

Zhang Yi's good luck came. The arrow directly crossed the city wall and hit a soldier carrying a rolling log. The soldier fell to the ground and the rolling log hit the iron pot beside him.The iron pot was overturned, and the golden juice inside was splashed, causing a commotion on the city wall.

What is golden juice?It's manure!This thing was a big killer in ancient times. As long as the hot gold juice sticks to it, it will be scalded, and then the wound infection will worsen due to the bacteria in it. If it is not treated effectively, it will soon die due to infection.

At this time, there was no penicillin or anything, and the mortality rate was quite high.

Seeing the chaos in the city, Zhang Ji knew that the warplane had arrived, and rushed up with his own soldiers, and quickly climbed from the ladder to near the top of the city.

Zhang Yi also followed Zhang Xiu in the third round of attack, this time he still shot out by feeling, and also hit an archer.

But he didn't expect that the archer was also releasing an arrow. The bow was fully drawn. When he died, his hand loosened and the arrow flew out sideways.It happened to hit Zhang Ji, who was still climbing the ladder, in the forehead.

Zhang Ji felt the world spinning for a while, and then he fell from the ladder and was thrown to the ground, unconscious.
