Chapter 262 Capture the City

Luo Ji's 3,000-strong army was crushing the border at this moment, and the superiority of its troops could almost be said to be revealed at this moment. The opponent's defending force was obviously less than 1,000 people. The previous ten rounds of bombing by the five three-bow crossbows had already caused their morale to plummet. , and now it has been suppressed by the archer troops in a large area of ​​arrow rain. In this wave of siege battle, Luo Ji played the effect of the morale air style quite unexpectedly. This situation is actually in the siege battle. very rare.

Unless it is a crushing battle, otherwise, the soldiers defending the city have the city wall as their support, and the morale of the whole will be relatively stable and not easy to fall.

It can only be said that Luo Ji's style of indiscriminately bombarding the city wall from outside the opponent's attack range, relying on the advantages of the three-bow crossbow, is really demoralizing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the archers to suppress the opponent, the shield and axemen pushed the siege vehicles all the way to the city gate, and with a muffled sound of 'bang', they were holding a shield to resist the arrow rain. The city's general Zhang Xijun's heart trembled, and then he shouted, "The first unit of shield and axe soldiers resisted the city gate! The second unit climbed the city wall and went to push the rolling wood and the smashing stone!"

The soldiers of the first unit who heard the order resolutely pushed up. After all, they also knew that once the city gate was completely knocked down, the enemy army would attack.

But the soldiers of the second unit who were demoralized, each with a stiff expression, climbed the city wall? Who couldn't see the rain of arrows that covered the sky? The shooting came in pieces, so that the archers on their own side had no chance to fight back. The group of people who ran slowly before were shot into hedgehogs on the spot, and their bodies were still lying on the city wall before they could be dragged down. Woolen cloth! Now let them climb up to push the log and the spar? Doesn't that send them to death? For a while, one by one did not move.

When Zhang Xijun saw the soldiers of the second unit, he did not act according to his orders. At this time, he was in a state of agitation, and his eyes flashed a stern look, and then he stabbed the soldier closest to him with a sword. He shouted fiercely, "Those who disobey the military order will be killed without mercy!!"

The soldiers were obviously taken aback by Zhang Xijun's killing with his sword, and all of them turned pale. At the same time, as a general defending the city, Zhang Xijun was obviously still alive, which made these soldiers not dare to resist him. , Climbing the city wall, it may be a near death, but if you disobey the military order, you will definitely die!

Thinking of this, the hesitant soldiers gritted their teeth one after another, raised their shields in their hands, and rushed to the city wall.

However, the cruel reality told them that just relying on a single determination would not allow the archer troops outside the city to show mercy to them.

The soldiers at the front with large shields obviously wanted to rush to the city wall to find cover. This idea and idea were actually correct. The longer they lingered, the more dangerous they would be.

However, the correct idea does not necessarily mean success. After the large shield is raised, the effect of resisting attacks is indeed excellent, but it has a defect, that is, it is too heavy. With such a heavy shield, you still want to rush up. ? This approach is doomed to ask for trouble.

I saw one of the soldiers holding a large shield rushed for two steps, and his feet were unstable. His entire body suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground. Then, in a flash, the rain of arrows shot him on the spot. He became a hedgehog, and the soldiers who followed behind felt a chill in the hearts of the soldiers who were following him at the tragic death.

At this moment, a young man who was also holding a large shield and dressed like an ordinary soldier suddenly shouted loudly, "The arrows on the opposite side can't shoot through the defense of the large shield! Everyone stabilize and form a shield formation, Go up step by step!!"

The young man's words obviously had an effect, causing the panic-stricken soldiers on the city wall to find the backbone at once, and they gradually stabilized their positions.

Through the binoculars, Luo Ji, who saw this scene, had a flash of surprise in his eyes, but it was limited to that. By now, the gate of the city was already crumbling, and a few rolling logs and a few beating stones could not save it. This city!

"Siege troop! Be careful to avoid the logs and smashing stones from the city wall! Attack the city with all your strength!!" The siege troop had a strong morale and knew that they were going to counterattack the city in the southeast of Zhou. The soldiers in the battle are all full of energy! Under this premise, Luo Ji added fire to them again, throwing down the 'moral booster' skill, and the morale of the entire army suddenly climbed to a new height.

"The city gate, the city gate is about to fall!!!"

The exclamation of the enemy soldiers came from the city gate. The city gate, which had been blasted several holes by heavy crossbow arrows, and then hit by siege vehicles, finally fell to the ground overwhelmed at this moment, and the archer fell to the ground. The offensive of the troops stopped, their task has been completed, and the next step is to look at the infantry troops.

Without stopping the infantry, Luo Ji waved his hand, "Push the siege vehicle and rush in!!"

It's just a siege vehicle. As long as it can capture this city, it will be scrapped after being scrapped. Luo Ji doesn't feel pain at all. The siege vehicle used to hit the city gate will hit the formation of the shield and axe troops on the opposite side. You can imagine what effect it will have, but it is a pity that you can only hit it this time, after all, the opposite side will not give you a second chance.

The collision of the siege vehicle won them space at the city gate. The shield axemen who poured in later roared and rushed in. The suppression of the force made the battle completely lost the suspense at the moment the city gate collapsed.

This can't help but make Luo Yong, who followed Luo Ji, feel a little depressed in his heart. After staying on the grassland for a long time, it is rare to be transferred back. He originally wanted to perform well, how could he think that these enemies could not help fighting?

"Let go, let go! I am General Zhendong, who was proclaimed by His Majesty! Dare to attack the border of our Great Zhou, have you thought about the end?!"

"Your Majesty, Da Zhou..." Luo Ji raised his eyebrows when he heard these two words. He really hadn't noticed it before. Zhou Dongnan had already proclaimed himself emperor when he co-authored it, but on second thought, it wasn't anything unusual. thing.

At this moment, Zhang Xijun, the general defending the city, was escorted all the way to Luo Ji by two shield and axe soldiers, and then one of the soldiers kicked the other's knee, "Kneel down for me. you!"

This kick was fast and accurate, and Zhang Xijun fell to his knees in front of Luo Ji with a thud, thinking that he was so dignified as General Zhou Zhendong, how could he ever suffer such humiliation?

Just wanted to shout angrily, but when he raised his head, he saw a flash of sword light in front of him, and a neat sword slashed directly on his neck!
