Chapter 94: The Unexpected (3)
"Why don't you go now?"
“Ah, yes, yes!”
After the general kicked them awake, their subordinates finally came to their senses and immediately turned around and ran away to do their own things. Only the general stood there and continued to look down at the exciting fight under the city. This general was the supreme commander of [Liancheng], General Jiang Haodong of the Xu State.
A long time passed, and the black-clad soldiers and Lei Yan were still fighting hard. For a long time, neither side retreated.
"…Give the order to attack the city."
"yes!"
General Su said coldly, and his subordinates immediately obeyed his orders. With a wave of his hands, the drummer next to the war drum immediately understood and began to beat the drum. The drum sounded, followed by the trombone, and the drum and trumpet sounds sounded at the same time. The Wu army began to rush forward, and the war drums were also beaten on the city walls, and the military flags were waved to signal to meet the enemy.
The two people fighting seemed to be completely unaffected by the deafening drumbeats. Just when both of them were trying their best, a sharp arrow came towards them from a distance. When Lei Yan noticed it, he dodged it with a backflip, because the arrow was coming towards him. As soon as he landed and had not yet stabilized his feet, the black-clothed soldier attacked him. Lei Yan leaned back to avoid the black-clothed soldier's sword, and then the black-clothed soldier quickly changed direction and chopped at him with the sword. Lei Yan immediately kicked the black-clothed soldier's right sword-holding armpit, and instantly heard a sound of broken bones. The black-clothed soldier had not expected this move at all, and the sword flew out of his hand. Before the black-clothed soldier could react, Lei Yan had already stood up, a cold light flashed, and the black-clothed soldier's whole body shook, and he fell to the ground with the vibration of Wu Jun's attack, and a pool of red liquid slowly flowed out from under him.
The Wu army was moving very fast, and all kinds of siege weapons were advancing rapidly. By the time Lei Yan noticed it, the two armies had already started fighting. Arrows were flying all over the city and outside the city, and many of them were shot at Lei Yan. In front of him was an army of 300,000 Wu soldiers, and behind him was the closed city gate of [Liancheng]. Looking at the Wu army approaching, Lei Yan immediately turned towards [Liancheng], and while running, he did not forget to shoot down the rain of arrows flying towards him. Lei Yan was very fast. Not far from the city, a rope was thrown down from the city wall and appeared in front of him. Lei Yan pulled the rope without saying a word, and climbed up the wall at a flying speed. Such skills were really impeccable.
Just as Lei Yan climbed up to the tower and jumped up to land, an arrow flew straight through his chest without a trace. Lei Yan fell forward in an instant. Fortunately, he had reached the tower and his body did not fall back. He actually landed in the tower ...
"Are you okay?"
Jiang Haodong retracted the rope and immediately came to the fallen Lei Yan and turned his body over. Yes, it was him who threw the rope to save Lei Yan.
"puff!!"
Perhaps because of the power, Lei Yan vomited a large mouthful of blood as soon as Jiang Haodong turned his body over, and blood continued to flow out from the wound on his chest where the sharp arrow had pierced his chest.
"Someone, take him to see a doctor immediately."
"yes!!"
Jiang Haodong gave an order, and two soldiers immediately stepped forward, carrying Lei Yan on the left and the right, and left. Looking at Lei Yan leaving , Jiang Haodong's eyes were full of guilt, but there was no extra time to think about these things. Jiang Haodong stood up and began to command the battle...
[Liancheng] The city wall was more than three feet high, and it was not easy to attack due to the surrounding terrain. However, the siege weapons of the Wu army were not only numerous but also advanced. In addition to catapults, cannons, battering rams, siege hammers, crossbows, nest carts, etc., there were also city towers and ladders. [Liancheng] was also well prepared for defending the city, with a series of necessary items for defending the city, such as cannons, crossbows, bows and arrows, catapults, kerosene, etc.
As the Wu army 's climbing towers, ladders and other climbing tools approached, thick city boards were immediately erected on the city walls, making the wall, which was already more than three meters high, even higher. This made it even more difficult for the Wu army to attack the city. The Wu army wanted to use the gaps between the city boards to attack, but the other side took advantage of the small gap to counterattack. Such a plan was unprecedented in the Wu army, and it caused the Wu army climbing the city to panic.
In front of the city gate, large siege vehicles pushed and rammed the gate again and again , but no matter how many times they pushed, they returned with no success. The city gate was not shaken at all, and the Wu army was struggling; it turned out that the inside of the city gate was full of huge stone carts, so the Wu army had to knock away the huge stones on the inside of the city gate while pushing and ramming the city gate, otherwise it would be meaningless.
Wu army camp.
Looking at the failed sieges in front of him, and seeing repeated defeats and even being at a disadvantage, General Su's eyes were filled with anger. On the one hand, it was because of the defeat of the black-clad soldiers, and on the other hand, it was because the defense of [Liancheng] was so tight that he had never seen before, and it was completely . He was full of anger, clenched his fists, and watched everything in front of him with gritted teeth. He was not unaware of [Liancheng's] defense, and he also knew that it was very difficult to attack the city given the terrain of [Liancheng]. But he never expected that the defense of [Liancheng] that he saw with his own eyes would make his soldiers so unbearable. The clever use of the terrain and perfect command made the defense of the city to the fullest extent, which forced General Su to admit the ability of the [Liancheng] defender.
However, what Su Shuai saw was not unexpected. Suddenly, another ladder appeared on the climbing ladder, and the soldiers immediately climbed up. Of course, they would be counterattacked by the soldiers defending the city, but if there were too many of them, they would still be out of control. Seeing that his soldiers had begun to climb over the city wall, Su Shuai raised a smile. However, just when Su Shuai felt satisfied, the city wall caught fire, and the raging fire once again blocked the offensive of Wu Jun!
