"Attack the city!" Sun Ce's Central Army command flag was waving. This time, Sun Ce no longer put down the ladder to attack the city. Instead, he pushed the four huge railings and rushed towards the city.
"Release the arrows, release the arrows!" Liu Mang had never dealt with this kind of siege weapon. Even when Lao Cao attacked Lü Bu's Xiapi and Kaiyang, he did not encounter this kind of siege weapon. Liu Mang needed to test the water. His first wave of arrows fell down. The arrows did not hit the enemy on the railings. The arrows did not have the strength to reach the railings and fell down.
"Haha." Sun Ce sneered. The railings were dozens of feet high. It was higher than the city walls of Wan Cheng. Even some generals would have to spend a lot of effort to hit the railings. Just like how it was easy to shoot arrows from the top of Wan Cheng, it was very difficult for Sun Cejun's soldiers to hit the railings. "What a waste of effort!" Sun Ce's eyes were burning. He was looking forward to seeing Liu Mang's desperate eyes under the attack of the railings.
"Humph!" Liu Mang also saw that the arrows could not fly up halfway and could only fall down. The height of the railings and the distance between him and the railings were just outside the range of the archers. In Wan Cheng, except for Huang Zhong and Huang Xu, perhaps only Xu Sheng and himself could hit the railings. What can the four of them do?
However! Sun Ce, do you think that there is no other way? Liu Mang's eyes flashed. He did not give the order for the second wave of arrows, but a scream came from the city walls.
"Liu Mang!" Sun Ce's eyes became cold. Below the city walls, besides Sun Cejun, there was someone else! Those screams came from the soldiers who were escorting the railings and preparing to attack the city. Liu Mang's Lu Bu's Army's arrows were unable to hit Jinglan. However, Sun Ce's Army's soldiers who were below Jinglan, because they wanted to hit Jinglan from high altitude, the Black Flag Army's longbows were almost pulled back. The strength of the arrows was very great. Even if they could not injure Jinglan, when Jinglan flew high in the sky and fell, with the help of gravity, these powerless arrows would become deadly arrows. This was even more terrifying than shooting at high altitude.
Because the railings occupied a large area, it made it more crowded. Liu Mang's arrow rain caused the damage to Sun Cejun's soldiers. For a time, screams came from below.
"Wait!" Sun Cejun's soldiers, Sun Cejun's soldiers, Sun Cejun's, so he calmly said..... tell them that if they don't want to die then quickly! "
"Yes!" The flag was waved again. Sun Cejun's soldiers also knew that there was no other place to hide under the crowded situation. They could only quickly approach the city wall. Once they reached the bottom of the city wall, they would be safe.
Sun Cejun pushed the railings with all his might, and the railings' speed increased greatly.
"Release the arrows, release the arrows!" Once again, arrows rained down from the top of the city wall. However, these were like a drop in the bucket. Under the threat of death, the railings reached the outside of the city wall. Sun Cejun's soldiers who had already climbed up the railings were ready. The longbows in their hands were already raised. Liu Mang could see the expressions on the soldiers' faces.
"It's my turn now!" Sun Cejun narrowed his eyes. The battle had already reached this stage. There was no mercy between the two of them. Once there was a chance, they would kill each other. There was no way for them to survive.
"Pull the bow!" Sun Cejun did not wait for the messengers. He stood up and used his chest to let half of the people on the battlefield hear him.
"Swish swish swish!" On top of the railings, arrows were already prepared. This kind of arrow showering confrontation made Liu Mang and the others feel a trace of chill.
"Release!" Sun Cejun did not hesitate. He wanted to see Liu Mang's nervousness, disbelief, fear, and collapse. All of these were the things that Sun Cejun wanted to return to Liu Mang. In the end, Sun Cejun would chop off Liu Mang's head and hang it on the city wall.
"Don't you die! Your Highness King Of Shu! "Sun Cejun's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Swish swish swish!" The sound of arrows piercing through the air was heard. Sun Ce's soldiers on top of the railings were looking down from above. They ruthlessly aimed their arrows at the walls of Wan Cheng city. Because of the high ground, the arrows did not need much strength. With the help of gravity, the arrows accelerated in the air and landed on the walls of Wan Cheng city. The sharp arrowheads directly pierced the bluestone of the walls.
One must know that the bluestone was reinforced again and again. It could withstand the chop of the siege chariot's swords and axes. But in the end, it could not withstand these small arrows.
"Raise the shield!" Liu Mang's tone was cold. These railings seemed to be difficult to clear using ordinary means. Fortunately, Liu Mang still had the giant shields left behind by the City Guard. The City Guard suffered heavy casualties. Almost all of the giant shields were killed, but their shields were left behind. With these shields, Liu Mang was able to withstand the first wave of arrows.
"Do you think that having a shield is useful?" Sun Cejun did not care at all. Shields, especially the heavy infantry's giant shields, were used to block the cavalry's charge. The arrows were shot by the archers in the wilderness. In this kind of situation, the giant shields could only withstand the first wave of arrows.
The first wave of arrows could only be used by the archers to test the distance between the railings and the city wall. Waiting for the second wave of arrows, as long as the archers had a little skill, they would be able to calculate the distance. After that, the longbow in his hand would be the weapon to take their lives.
Sure enough, the second wave of arrows followed. Liu Mang's giant shields could block the front, but they could not block the rear. Those experienced archers shot their longbows towards the sky. They used gravity to directly hit the back of the Lvbu's Army's giant shields.
"En, en, en!" From time to time, there were muffled groans. These were the soldiers of the Black Flag Army who were hit by the arrows. Those arrows were very powerful and directly pierced through the bodies of the soldiers and nailed them to the bluestone.
Sure enough, it was like this! Liu Mang was blocked by the giant shield and looked at the Sun Cejun's soldiers on the railings. The giant shield was also shrinking because the archers were getting better at shooting. Their arrows were even able to pass through the gaps of the giant shield and injure the soldiers.
"Ha ha ha ha!" Sun Ce who was at the bottom of the wall was laughing madly. Under the attack of this kind of thing, there were only a few people on top of the wall. There were 3000 archers and each of them had a barrel of arrows. In other words, each archer had 12-15 arrows.
After more than 10 waves of arrows, even if it was 10 cities, thousands of Lvbu's Army would suffer heavy losses. But Sun Cejun's side only injured a few hundred soldiers at the beginning. Using only a few hundred soldiers to take down Wan Cheng city, which consumed tens of thousands of soldiers of Sun Cejun's army two days ago. This kind of business was very profitable. Sun Cejun thought of Lu Su. He was really a great talent, a great talent! He decided to go back and heavily reward Lu Su and the Lu family. He will let Lu Su manage Wan Cheng city.
After more than 10 waves of arrows, the arrows on the railings finally stopped. The arrows were used up and needed to be transported from below. Sun Cejun began to be busy again.
Sun Cejun, who was providing assistance to the railings, was busy. The other Sun Cejun were also not idle. Under Sun Ce's command, they crazily rushed toward Wan Cheng city. Under this kind of arrow rain, it was basically impossible for anyone to survive. If they went up the wall now, they would be snatching the credit! Moreover, the Lord said that after taking down Wan Cheng city, they would indulge for three days. This kind of reward made Sun Cejun crazy.
One ladder after another, people rushed up the wall. They thought that they would be greeted with credit and indulgence. But when they reached the wall, they were greeted with spears and swords.
Black armor, white giant shield. Sun Cejun was afraid of these black devils! It wasn't as if they hadn't seen how the Black Flag Army slaughtered their fellow soldiers yesterday.
Wave after wave of arrows rained down and hit the Lu Bu's army. From time to time, some of them were hit by arrows and some of them fell down. However, after several waves of arrows, although everyone in the Lu Bu's army was injured, there were very few deaths.
The first to reach the wall was not Sun Cejun's main force, but the ordinary soldiers. They did not have the courage to fight like the Danyang soldiers. One by one, they retreated. On the battlefield, only the brave will win. Once you are afraid, you will not be far from death.
Like chasing ducks, the Sun Cejun's soldiers who climbed the wall were all driven down by Liu Mang's Lvbu's Army.
"Heavy armor!" Sun Ce's mouth was very uncomfortable, as if he had eaten a fly. He thought that he had caused great damage to Liu Mang's Lvbu's Army. But who knew that when the arrows flew past the giant shield and fell on the Lvbu's Army, they did not cause any fatal injuries. This was because they had a sharp weapon, and that was heavy armor!
That's right, Liu Mang let the Black Flag Army wear their heavy armor again. The heavy armor of the dead giant shield soldiers was also worn by the surviving City Guard soldiers. Heavy armor was not only resistant to impact, but also very good against arrows.
Although these waves of arrows were very large, and also caused damage to Liu Mang's Lvbu's Army, it did not reach Sun Ce's expectation. The Lvbu's Army suffered heavy casualties, and almost no one was left alive.
Seeing Sun Cejun's soldiers being driven down the wall one by one, Liu Mang was not very happy. This was because he knew that the Black Flag Army did not die much, but they were all injured. Even if they had heavy armor, it would be difficult to resist all the arrows.
"Heavy armor! Good, if you dare to wear it, I will make you tired to death! " The Danyang soldiers were dispatched. Three thousand Danyang soldiers and ten thousand ordinary Sun Cejun soldiers rushed towards the wall of Wancheng city.
Heavy Armors could defend against most of the damage, but they were too heavy. Every piece of Heavy Armors weighed at least a hundred pounds. They could only provide explosive power, but they could not last for long. In a siege battle, it was a battle of endurance. Whoever could not hold on would lose!
The Black Flag Army was cultivated from an early age. Out of five thousand seedlings, only two thousand were selected. Their physique was strong, so they could wear heavy armor.
However, they could not hold on for long.
Sun Ce needed to consume the physical strength of these heavy armored soldiers. Just like Liu Mang's last time, Liu Mang ran a marathon with these heavy armored soldiers, but Sun Ce needed to consume the physical strength of these heavy armored soldiers.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! " The Danyang soldiers once again rushed to the wall. They were old rivals. Since the beginning of the siege of Wancheng city, they had been fighting each other. Although it was only three days, the two sides had already formed a deadly feud.
The City Guard's three thousand was now less than five hundred, and the Danyang soldiers' ten thousand was now only three thousand. Everyone in the Urban Army were brothers, they were comrades, they were comrades, they were people who could go through life and death together. However, these brothers died in the hands of the Danyang soldiers. Moreover, the Danyang soldiers were united by blood. Many of their uncles and grandfathers died in the hands of the Urban Army.
As the old saying goes, when enemies meet, a war will break out as soon as the two armies meet!
The Danyang soldiers could not break the heavy armor of the Black Flag Army, but the Danyang soldiers were flexible enough. The Black Flag Army had heavy armor, so they could only kill one enemy. But the second time, they were a bit slower. Moreover, there were ten thousand ordinary soldiers, so the Black Flag Army was fighting very hard. However, the ten thousand ordinary soldiers also lost two thousand corpses, and the three thousand Danyang soldiers also died.
"Retreat!" Sun Ce did not care about the thousands of people who died. The process was not important. What he wanted was the result. Now, the death of more than two thousand people had brought him the result he wanted.
The Lvbu's Army's heavy armored soldiers were tired. The archers on the wall were also ready. A crazy rain of arrows was about to fall. Sun Ce also put kerosene on the wall. He wanted to use fire to burn the walls of Wancheng city.
"Raise your bows!" Under Sun Ce's command, the archers on the wall once again raised their longbows. This time, their hands were not just ordinary bows and arrows. Liu Mang could see that the arrows were burning. Does he want to use fire arrows to burn the walls?
