Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 177 The Battle Is Doomed

After all, Zhu Wei is a modern soul with the memory of later generations, so after watching the previous siege battle, he immediately thought of many ideas for defending the city.

During this time when Ruo Rong retreated temporarily, Zhu Wei called people to start building the defense equipment that he had imagined in his mind.

In fact, these virtual sheds, falling woods, and false frames for guarding the city are very simple and easy to make. Zhu Wei asked the five thousand civilians who were on standby to do it in batches, and it didn't take long to make some usable guards. City equipment.

And the pause between this round of battle probably passed half an hour.

The flames that originally burned under the city of Yuzhang gradually extinguished, and the wooden bridges built on the moat were also burned. The ground near the city wall was burned by the fire, and it turned into pieces that seemed to be reddish and dry. In the place of death, there is a strange smell of barbecue and the smell of fur after being burned.

This place seems to have turned into a hell, waiting for a new round of war to break out.

And in the Ruo Rong army formation in front of Yuzhang City, Ruo Rong seems to be leading the whole army and seems to be reciting some Buddhist scriptures.

For a moment, all the Ruorong Buddhist soldiers and Dharma protectors could not help but chanting, and they didn't know whether they were reciting the mantra for the Dharma protectors who died before, or they were chanting scriptures to exorcise demons and protect gods and Buddhas.

Not long after, the chanting in the Ruo Rong army basically came to an end, and then, like knocking on a wooden fish, there was a continuous sound of "haha", and all the Ruo Rong Buddhist soldiers and Dharma protectors also shouted in their mouths, "Futu In this world, be merciful to the world, raging fire, wash away the golden body, burn my skin, purify my Buddha's heart, welcome heaven and man, go west to bliss! Slay demons and demons, kill, kill, kill, kill!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

Then Ruo Rong ordered to attack the city again. This time, almost all of Ruo Rong's army was on top. Nearly ten thousand dharma protectors and nearly ten thousand Buddha soldiers intertwined together, holding wooden shields and carrying The wooden bridge and the wooden ladder frame rushed towards Yuzhang City.

Only more than 3000 Buddhist guards and more than 2000 cavalry guards were left around Ruo Rong, and then more than 4000 archers were waiting to suppress the defense on the city wall.

Obviously, the Buddhist scriptures recited by Ruo Rong's Buddhist soldiers and Dharma protectors should be the last encouragement before the war. Ruo Rong is about to launch a general attack on Yuzhang City.

Of course, Ruo Rong seems to have learned from his experience this time, and first smeared all the wooden shields and wooden bridges with wet mud, so as not to be ignited by the rockets fired by the Yamakoshi archers on the city wall.

Then Ze Rong dispersed all the siege forces, basically a team of more than a thousand people, carrying two or three wooden bridges and a dozen wooden ladders, each looking for a city wall as a target for climbing and attacking.

In this way, Zhu Wei can also prevent Zhu Wei from using another fire to burn all the siege troops gathered together in Ruo Rong, and it can also make Zhu Wei have to divide his troops to resist on the city wall. Ruo Rong's elite Buddhist soldiers, who were mixed with the Dharma protectors, climbed up the city wall.

It has to be said that Ruo Rong is now relying on the large number of people to storm Yuzhang City.

For a moment, it looked like a huge tide of people, surging towards the towering Yuzhang city wall, trying to flood the city wall with the human wave and rush into Yuzhang city.

And Zhu Wei saw everything from the top of the city gate, so he could only divide his troops to fight. At this moment, in addition to the archers on the original city wall and the other 2000 mountain soldiers, Zhu Wei also transferred all the more than 3000 mountain soldiers in reserve. .

This is indeed a decisive battle between the offensive and defensive sides, and this decisive battle will also determine the final result of Ruo Rong today.

The fierce offensive and defensive battle began again as the sea of ​​people from Zuo Rong's siege rushed to the city wall.

Ruo Rong's soldiers and horses were divided into at least nearly a hundred different blocks, and nearly a hundred wooden ladders were set up on the city wall of Yuzhang, and they climbed up the ladders to attack the city.

On the other hand, Zhu Wei naturally organized his troops to defend separately, forming a defensive battle formation in the city wall area where each wooden ladder is located. The soldiers killed the city wall.

Fortunately, some simple tents for blocking arrows have been built and transported to the city wall, so the Shanyue soldiers who originally held the tower shield can also free up their hands to help in the defensive battle.

In this way, the archers Ruo Rong stayed under the city wall were basically useless, and almost all the arrows thrown up fell on the virtual sheds made of bamboo poles, wooden strips, cloth, and fishing nets.

The Shanyue soldiers on the city wall don't have to worry about any feathered arrows falling from the top of their heads, posing any threat to themselves.

So they only need to wholeheartedly prevent Ruo Rong's Buddhist soldiers and Dharma protectors from climbing up the city wall. This at least improves the defense efficiency of Zhu Wei's Shanyue soldiers several times.

And the main Buddhist soldiers on Ruo Rong's side are stronger than the Dharma Protectors in terms of combat effectiveness, but there is not much difference in this city climbing wall. As long as they cannot climb the city wall, they will not be able to exert much combat effectiveness. , can only be the target of the Shanyue soldiers to kill.

Even if Ruo Rong's elite Buddhist soldiers were hidden among the ordinary Dharma protectors, they would have no effect if they had no chance to climb the city wall.

All of a sudden, falling rocks and trees kept falling on the city wall of Yuzhang, causing screams from below the city wall, and the wooden ladders on the city wall were overturned by the Mountain Yue soldiers on the city wall from time to time. A string of Buddhist soldiers climbing the city and Dharma protectors fell down one after another.

In the absence of other siege equipment, people can only rely on people to climb the city. The method of siege, like ants climbing trees, really needs human life to fill it. It is difficult to make any breakthroughs.

And now Zhu Wei has a lot of troops defending the city. In addition, the wooden ladders built by Zuo Rong are limited after all, so the siege lasted for nearly an hour. Zuo Rong had more than 2 Buddhist soldiers and protectors attacking the city. But no one from the civilian army reached the city wall.

Although only three or 4000 Buddhist soldiers and Dharma-protecting militiamen actually died during the siege, many people were injured. No strength to continue to climb the city and rush to kill.

As for the Shanyue soldiers guarding the city on Zhu Wei's side of the city wall, only more than a hundred people were injured and shot to death by the feather arrows shot up from below the city. Most of the others were tired, but did not suffer much loss.

The cost of attacking a city like this is simply a ratio of thirty to forty to one.

After all, Ruo Rong only had less than [-] soldiers. If it is done like this, I am afraid that Ruo Rong's soldiers may not be able to attack the city wall of Yuzhang after all their soldiers die. It can be said that the outcome of the battle is already doomed.

Gradually, someone from Zhu Wei also sent up the built virtual frames. In this way, these frames were set up outside the arrow stacks on the city wall, and they could be pushed back and forth flexibly. The ladder that was put up also lost its function.

So the Shanyue soldiers guarding the city on Zhu Wei's side seemed more relaxed...
