Chapter 88 The Siege Begins

Seeing that the Jingzhou army showed no signs of slowing down, the corners of Yuan Yao's mouth twitched immediately.

What do you mean?
Could it be that Liu Daer is crazy?

Are you not going to send light soldiers to clean up the pits and ditches outside the city?Could it be that Liu Da'er was planning to fill the trench with the corpses of the Jingzhou army?
The Jingzhou army was rolling towards Xiling City like a tidal wave.

The first thing that caused damage to the Jingzhou army was the trap dug in advance outside the city.

Yuan Yao dug hundreds of trenches and pits outside the south gate of Xiling, and the pits were full of bamboo nails and caltrops.

In an instant, the Jingzhou army rushing to the front fell into the pit, or fell into the ditch, and was bruised everywhere by the pit and the barbed wire and bamboo nails in the ditch. Some unlucky Jingzhou soldiers even fell sideways into the pit In the process, he was pierced by bamboo nails and caltrops, and fell into the pit screaming.

The formation of the Jingzhou army immediately became chaotic.

However, it is unbelievable that the Jingzhou Army still did not slow down, let alone stop and send light soldiers to fill the pits and trenches. Instead, they sent hundreds of light soldiers to jump into the pits and trenches, and then each carried The plank paved a smooth path for the subsequent robes and siege equipment.

Stepping on the passage paved with life and blood by Paoze, the following Jingzhou army gritted their teeth, pushed the siege equipment and continued to approach Xiling City Pass, approaching quickly.

The head of Xiling city.

Yuan Yao's mouth twitched violently.

Crazy, Liu Daer must be crazy!If you really use Jingzhou soldiers as envoys of outsiders, isn't this jumping into the pit of death.

It only takes a few hours to fill the pits and trenches, and it takes half a day to survive. Can Liu Daer not even wait for half a day?

Liu Daer is so impatient?

Come on, Liu Daer, just let the horse come here.

If you hadn't blocked the cheap old man Yuan Shu from going north, maybe he would have another start at this moment.

Today, here, let us have a good fight!

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, I, Yuan Boping, are not as good as you, but I still have Li Ji, even Zhou Yu can't do anything to him, so am I still afraid of you!
Come on, Liu Bei, just let the horse come here.

It is not enough to just fill the pits and trenches outside the city. Unless you can fill up the walls of Xiling City with the corpses of the Jingzhou Army, otherwise, you will never want to take Xiling City!
Come on, Zhuge Liang, come here, Yuan Mou is waiting for you!

The Jingzhou army is in the main formation, on the nest car.

Liu Bei's hands were gripping the guardrail tightly, and his knuckles were slightly white due to excessive force.

Although the distance is extremely far, Liu Bei can seem to see the painful expressions on the faces of the Jingzhou soldiers who jumped into the pits and trenches. Their feet have been pierced by barbed wire, but they didn't cry out. Pain, but just clenching the teeth, but just holding on to the plank, using their blood to forcibly pave a passage for Paoze!

At this moment, Liu Bei's heart was bleeding, these are good soldiers, if they can be kept and used by me, that would be great!

Liu Bei suddenly turned his head, stared at Zhuge Liang firmly, and asked suddenly: "Military teacher, is it worth doing this?"

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the city ahead through the smog, and said in a dull tone: "My lord, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and a little intolerance can lead to chaos and big plans!"

The Jingzhou army is like a big wave, rolling forward.

There are pits and ditches blocking the way, and Jingzhou soldiers continue to jump into the pits and trenches bravely, using their lives and blood to pave the way for subsequent robes and siege equipment.

There are still a hundred steps away from the moat, but the Jingzhou army has paid the price of hundreds of casualties!

However, the Jingzhou Army's casualties were not without cost. The Jingzhou Army's siege equipment finally approached less than a hundred steps away from Xiling City Pass.

However, the remaining hundred paces are the most dangerous and difficult.

The real test for the Jingzhou Army has just begun.

The casualties just now were just appetizers before the main meal.

The head of Xiling city.

Seeing that the Jingzhou army finally approached within a hundred steps of the city wall, Li Jizhi climbed onto the tower, came to Yuan Yao's side, nodded and said, "My lord, you can start to fight back!"

"Arrows, arrows, arrows!"

"Shoot 'em, shoot 'em!"

"Don't feel sorry for the arrow, shoot the arrow at full speed!"

"The catapults continue to attack and smash them to death!"

"Put on bigger stones and smash them to death!"

Li Ji sent orders one after another, because he knew very well that the last hundred paces was the most difficult for the Jingzhou army on the attacking side. Apart from using catapults to counterattack, they had almost no power to fight back. On the one hand, this short time of less than half a meal is the most precious opportunity to kill the enemy.

During this time, the defenders can reap the lives of the attackers without any restraint!

"Arrows, arrows, arrows!"

"Shoot them!"

"Shoot them!"

After getting over the initial tension, the archers on the top of the city gradually calmed down, roaring hysterically, while frantically drawing their bows and releasing arrows, drawing their bows again, and releasing their arrows again...

The dense arrows poured down towards the Jingzhou army like a torrential rain.

The Jingzhou army had to beware of both the pit under their feet and the arrows pouring down from the sky. The casualties began to increase sharply, especially in the last fifty steps, they were almost desperate to fill in!

The Jingzhou army put their shields on their heads, gritted their teeth, struggled in the sea of ​​blood, and moved forward with difficulty.

However, as long as you are determined enough, no matter how difficult the journey is, there will always be an end.

Finally, the vanguard of the Jingzhou Army had approached the moat. Following Zhang Fei's order, the heavy infantry in heavy armor and carrying shields on their shoulders quickly stepped forward and built a shield wall on the outside of the moat. The following Jingzhou archers used the shield wall to cover and began to shoot at the archers on the top of the city.

Although the archers of the Jingzhou Army were still at a disadvantage, they at least had the power to fight back.

At the same time, six or seven trench bridges were also pushed out and quickly erected on the moat.

Almost as soon as the trench bridge was erected, siege equipment such as siege towers, ladders, pointed wheels, wooden ox carts, etc., began to rush towards the trench bridge impatiently, preparing to cross the river.

The Jingzhou Army's main formation is above the nest car.

Liu Bei suddenly turned his head and said loudly: "Military division!"

Zhuge Liang nodded lightly, then raised his right hand and pressed forward, and said calmly: "Send the order, the siege camp will attack!"

As soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, the messengers guarding the nest car moved quickly, holding up the command flag to deliver the military order.

The sky suddenly fell, heavy rain poured down, the sky fell, and the whole wilderness was dark.

The Jingzhou army is in the rear.

Zhao Yun turned around abruptly when he saw the command flag unfurled.

Zhao Yun's gaze, as sharp as a sharp knife, swept across the faces of the soldiers of the siege battalion, and every soldier of the siege battalion stood up from the mud one after another.

If you can have one soldier, you will have a nest.

What kind of generals are there, what kind of soldiers are there!
Zhao Yun slowly raised the gentian silver gun again, then turned around in the heavy rain, pointed the tip of the gun at the head of Xiling City, and suddenly howled: "Siege camp, attack..."

"attack……"

Two thousand soldiers of the siege battalion responded loudly, and then started jogging after Zhao Yun.

After a while, the two thousand soldiers of the siege battalion changed from jogging to fast running, and then began to charge!
I have to say that the villager Zhuge did have a few tricks, and the timing of the use of troops was just right. When Zhao Yun led the siege battalion to attack the city, Zhang Fei's former army just set up the ladder, and there was almost no delay!

As soon as the eight ladders were erected, the siege battalion had already arrived like a flood.
