Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

After the catapults in Yanmen Pass counterattacked, the Xixia army temporarily stopped advancing.

With the advancement of the Xixia army just now, both sides have entered the effective killing distance of the arrows.

Ye Li Yuqi gave an order, "Arrow soldiers come forward!"

Then, with the cover of shield soldiers and trebuchets.

Xixia's crossbowmen instantly stood in several rows.

The arrows in their hands were soaked in oil.

The arrow part is also wrapped with a circle of flammable material.

Everyone also wears a piece of flint.

When releasing an arrow, just rub the flint on your body to form a rocket with even more astonishing lethality.

Among the art of war passed down through the ages, the most widely mentioned strategy for siege is fire attack.

One after another, like falling rain, the rockets fell instantly on the top of Yanmenguan City.

The shields used by the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were mostly made of wood, rattan, leather and other materials.

It has extremely perfect defense against cold weapons.

It can be effective even when faced with blunt objects.

However, facing these rockets, it seems to have some shortcomings.

If several consecutive rockets land on the same shield, the fire that spreads to the shield will be enough to damage its internal structure.

The Xixia army's offensive was very fierce, and the arrows rained down on the top of the city as if they were free.

Taking advantage of the strength of the crossbowmen, Yeli Yuqi did not hesitate at all and allowed the entire army to continue advancing.

This time, the Xixia army marched at a significantly faster pace.

I saw a group of about six or seven people carrying ladders and running towards Yanmen.

Everyone seems to want to be the first to get the credit.

"Fire the arrow!"

"Get ready to roll logs and stones!"

Wei Yuan shouted loudly.

He suddenly felt stressed.

A kind of pressure that has never appeared since the battle of Yanmen Pass.

It seems that since he served as the training envoy of Daizhou regiment.

Everything he has experienced, including being knighted, has been so smooth.

In my heart, I thought that the Xixia army was just like the Liao vanguard army that was almost annihilated by me a few months ago.

However, through this time, the Xixia army's methodical siege methods and the kind of morale that was inspired to fearlessly and move forward courageously were revealed.

Wei Yuan understood deeply that he had always underestimated the Xixia army.

Or, he underestimated all the elite teachers in the world.

The Liao vanguard army that he had crippled before was nothing more than a group of stragglers in front of the truly elite troops of Xixia and even the Liao Kingdom!

Even if they didn't want to join forces with Xixia to curb the development of the Zhou Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom would not send troops here.

How could a truly elite division be sent?

Therefore, Wei Yuan got a big advantage.

It's too late, it's fast.

The Xixia soldiers were all holding their breath. After approaching the city wall, without saying a word, they began to set up the ladder.

not far away.

Seeing such a scene, Ye Li Yuqi immediately said loudly:

"I'm sending an order. The first person to reach the top of Yanmen City will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and three pastures."

"The second best will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver and a pasture."

"If you do it again, I will reward you with ten taels of silver."

"Those who do worse will be rewarded with money."

"As long as you can climb to the top of Yanmen Pass and kill the enemy bravely, you will be rewarded generously!"

With his general order.

When the Xixia army fought, it became even more fierce.

Each and every one of them looks like they are not afraid of death.

While they were talking, someone had already climbed up to half of the Yanmenguan city wall through the erected ladder.

Wei Yuan is also actively defending the city gate.

Rolling logs and rocks were thrown down one after another.

Even the golden juice that was burned until it was boiling hot was used.

So angry.

Many Zhou army soldiers blocked their noses with cloth strips, but they could still smell the disgusting smell.

First, several large barrels of gold juice were poured out along the city wall.

It happened to fall on a soldier climbing the ladder.

He was first doused by a sudden burst of heat, and then smelled a smell that could not be described in words.

By the way, the whole ladder has that smell.

too disgusting.

Many people fell from the ladder because they couldn't bear it.

Not to mention them, even in the Zhou army, many soldiers were retching.

You know, it was juice that came from many people, had been saved for a long time, and was boiled until it was boiling hot.

If a Xixia soldier climbed to the top of the ladder and was about to grab the battlements, he would turn over and jump to the top of the city.

The swordsman who had been prepared long ago began to harvest the heads.

If the enemy climbs the city first, his hands will be cut off. If the enemy's head peeks over the city head first, his head will be cut off.

For a time, the Xixia army suffered extremely heavy casualties.

Among the ten people, at most two or three people climbed to the top of the city, but were quickly slaughtered by the Zhou army.

Wei Yuan held the Guandao in his hand, fighting on the front line like many Zhou army soldiers.

Because the Xixia army has skillfully mastered the use of various siege equipment.

And after improving the ladder, it will be difficult to push down the ladder nailed to the city wall with manpower.

However, whenever someone climbs to the top of the city via a ladder, if Wei Yuan sees him, the most he can do is kill him with a knife.

The Guandao in his hand is extremely heavy. Whether it is a sharp weapon or a blunt weapon, it has merits.

In chaotic battles, it can have unexpected effects.

In short, wherever he goes, even if more and more enemy troops board the city, they are of no use and can only be slaughtered to death.

"General Wei is mighty!"

Some soldiers saw Wei Yuan displaying his might.

With just one knife, the corpse of an armored enemy soldier was separated, and blood spurted out.

People can't help but feel admiration. There is a saying in the army that the so-called enemy of ten thousand people and the killing of a hundred people are nothing more than that, right?

More and more soldiers guarding the city saw their commander, Wei Yuan, standing here. For a moment, their military morale was greatly boosted.

"kill!"

"."

In an instant, wherever Wei Yuan went, many Zhou troops did not dare to slack off.

However, the enemy troops they faced were, after all, Xixia's elite troops, capable of hundreds of battles.

Just taking the lead in the first wave of siege allowed them to detect the weakest point of Yanmen Pass.

It didn't take long.

In addition to the main tower, the Great Wall passes on the left and right wings were all attacked by the enemy.

Wei Yuan had no choice but to divide his troops for defense.

However, the enemy army was always able to turn around in time and attack the place where the Zhou army did not send additional reinforcements.

After going back and forth, Wei Yuan felt that the initiative was not in his hands at all.

Is this still the Xixia army that has been defeated repeatedly?

I don’t know when it started.

Perhaps it started when the nomads outside the Pass learned to attack cities.

The gap between soldiers living in the Central Plains and soldiers living outside the customs is getting smaller and smaller.

It’s not even that one Han is equal to the Five Hus, but that one Hu is equal to the Five Hans.

He finally understood why the Yeli brothers were able to make the majestic Ningyuan Marquis Gu Yankai suffer such a huge loss in Sanchuan.

This was the first serious contest, and both sides suffered considerable damage.

Yeli Yuqi also began to pay more attention to Wei Yuan.

"In the middle of a chaotic battle, he can still roam around the city and inspire the soldiers around him. From this point of view, he can be regarded as a good general."

"In the past, I only thought of him, but some of his personal bravery, the rest were all because of Zhang Fu's name."

"Now it seems that there are no empty knights under the great reputation!"

This battle will end quickly, mainly to pave the way for the subsequent time span.

In addition, let’s talk about another happy thing, this book is in Sanjiang.

I don’t need to say more about how difficult it is to go to Sanjiang, a fan work.
